Astral Apostle Chapter 2: Astral Shuttle

Published:

In the room.

Zhou Jing threw himself on the bed with a thud, turned his back to the sky, and stared at the ceiling in a trance.

Originally, his plan for his future life was like this – to obtain a degree from an institution of higher learning, it would be easier to find a job, and the job did not require a high salary, as long as he stayed in the local area, preferably closer to home.

Because the eldest brother and the second brother separated and went their separate ways, they all went out to live and rarely came back. The parents in the family are getting older, and the remaining three younger siblings are all minors. The oldest is only ten years old and needs to be taken care of.

Always want to leave an adult child to stay at home, and the two older brothers are unwilling to delay the future, so they can only take over the burden themselves. Zhou Jing’s plan after graduation is to work nearby to take care of his family.

As for his career and future, he can take it slowly. He can wait until his younger brother and sister are adults. He doesn’t have such a great professionalism. He feels that he is still young and can afford to wait.

It’s just…

The sudden forced immigration disrupted his life plan.

He has nothing to say about the official policy, but the attitude of the family is really **** heart-warming.

In the interstellar era, due to various factors, the concept of family has gradually weakened, but even if the relationship between the family members is somewhat indifferent, Zhou Jing has always been careful to maintain it, feeling that it is family no matter what.

It’s just that he cherishes his family…the family doesn’t seem to cherish him very much. Compared to retention, the father and brother seem to want an extra interstellar immigrant in the family to bring them career benefits… In other words, everyone resists the mandatory immigration quota, so they can’t wait to push him.

“Sacrificing one of me to benefit the whole family?”

Zhou Jing stared at the ceiling for a while before turning his head and looking around the room.

The edge of the table was missing a corner, and it was wrapped with tape, which was broken when I was nine years old. The curtain rod is missing two hooks. They were used as earrings in the second year of middle school, and they were accidentally lost. It was probably twelve and a half years old? There are seven posters around the Super League on the wall. He has been a loyal audience since he was thirteen years old. These posters are different star players he likes…

And here…and there…

Zhou Jing’s eyes slowly and carefully scanned every corner of the twelve-square-meter room.

He has lived in this house for more than ten years, and there are traces of his life everywhere.

Outside the window is the familiar scenery that I have watched for more than ten years. The setting sun hangs diagonally in the sky, putting a golden coat on the steel forest. The speed-limited hovering car walked leisurely among the high-rise buildings. The signboards on the top floors of the buildings in the distance lit up and began to emit colorful neon lights, as if announcing that night was coming.

There are familiar family members and friends, familiar streets and buildings, and I spent my green time here.

No matter how far apart the city is, it is still under the same blue sky, and the distance between the planet and the planet is so far away that it seems impossible to touch.

Interstellar immigration is a besieged city, some people are willing to leave, some people want to stay. Some people want to abandon their past and pursue immigration benefits, while others are unwilling to leave the land where they have lived for a long time, and it is difficult to get together with their relatives and friends.

Zhou Jing has never thought about the possibility of leaving since he was a child. He still doesn’t want to leave… but no one can help him, and he can only rely on himself.

“As long as you are selected for forced immigration, unless there are special circumstances, you must obey official arrangements for immigration…special circumstances?”

Zhou Jing muttered to himself, suddenly focusing on the poster of the Super League.

He suddenly turned over and sat up, took out his mobile phone, searched for the policy support terms of power users, glanced at the large and cumbersome policy provisions, and finally stopped on one of them, and read it out softly:

“Anyone who meets the definition of ‘power person’ is not within the scope of compulsory recruitment of interstellar immigrants. If the compulsory immigration quota is randomly selected, it can be exempted unconditionally without approval, and immediate family members can enjoy this right.”

“Superpower… If I become a superpower, I can exempt myself from forced immigration, and I don’t have to let my family bear the burden…”

Zhou Jing muttered in a low voice, his eyes slightly brightened.

Is there such a possibility… When I wake up tomorrow, I will become a power user?

I raise my hands and the sky falls, stomping my feet and sinking. No matter how big the world is, I can go wherever I want?

He couldn’t help daydreaming for a while, but finally stopped the momentum of the fantasy, slapped himself lightly, and sighed.

There are several ways to become a power user, genetic medicine, super power knowledge, mutation, etc… But these are not accessible to an ordinary person.

Genetic medicine is a product strictly controlled by the government. It cannot be found on the shelves, and online shopping is not supported. Ordinary people have no way to buy it. The dissemination of superpower knowledge is also strictly controlled, and civilians cannot access it.

As for mutation, where can I find an environment or experimental project that allows me to mutate? And can you ensure mutation if you find it? There is a high probability that he will leave this world in a shocking manner in various strange poses.

Under the control of the community government strictly prohibiting the illegal dissemination of superpower knowledge and superpower items, the only way for ordinary people to become superpowers is “awakening”.

But talent is the biggest barrier between people. Almost at the moment of birth, who is doomed to have the aptitude of superpowers.

I haven’t awakened my superpowers for so many years, and it’s a bit unrealistic to expect to wake up suddenly now. Putting hope on such a low-probability event is different from hoping that toilet paper will fall from the sky when there is no paper in the toilet. , I’ll be more confident when I do it myself.

“Superpower…” Zhou Jing stared at the poster of the Super League with complicated eyes.

When he was a child, like many children, he also fantasized about becoming a superpower, but as he got older, he gradually lost his extravagant hopes and accepted the reality that he might be just an ordinary person in this life.

If you say that you have any advantages, it may be that your self-awareness is clear enough. He knows that he has no extraordinary intelligence, no outstanding family background, and no amazing perseverance. Although he looks good, he is not to the point where God is rushing to feed him… All in all, he is a mediocre person.

In the future, I will probably do a job that I neither like nor dislike, and live a routine life day after day. Like countless ordinary people, I will act as a part of the operation of society, and the biggest credit is to give birth to offspring. , contributing population to the cause of interstellar expansion of human civilization.

Occasionally, when I have leisure time, I take a look at the superpowers who are flying in the super league, and I am full of yearning to witness the colorful lives of these “superhumans”… But no matter how much I yearn, it is not a world that belongs to him after all.

“Well, let’s think of another way.”

Zhou Jing rubbed his temples, sighed, and crossed out the plan of “becoming a power user” from his mind.

Although he was heartbroken by the attitude of his family, he tried his best not to think about it, knowing that it would not help the current situation.

He forced himself to cheer up and figure out a solution to the predicament of forced immigration.

But one method emerged, and one by one was rejected by him… If forced immigration was so easy to get rid of, it would not have the word “compulsory”. Firm.

The more he racked his brains to find a way, the more Zhou Jing felt that there was nothing he could do, and the future that suddenly strayed made people feel confused and hesitant.

Before you know it, the sun sets and the night hangs in the air.

The door was never knocked.

He was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about where he was going. I don’t know when he fell asleep, his eyelids gradually darkened, and his thoughts sank into a half-dream and half-awake chaos.

Time seems to be stretched into filaments, and all kinds of hazy emotions flashed like a marquee.

The nostalgic childhood, the future off track, the long-buried fantasy, the doomed mediocre life, the reality that is difficult to escape…

All of this floats up and down in my mind, turning into an inexplicable dream, like the scale of time has become a picture scroll, the past and the future are spread out in front of my eyes, as if standing in a higher dimension, Silently overlooking his mediocre life.

And in this daze, half-dream and half-awake

Thunder, suddenly exploded in my mind!

Boom! ! !

The shock-like tremor traveled through every nerve, Zhou Jing’s body shivered suddenly, and the sleepiness dissipated instantly.

He subconsciously opened his eyes.

At this moment, the world has changed.

Instead of a familiar room, there is a starry universe, surrounded by slowly spinning nebulae.

The stars surround each other.

I feel like I’m in the middle of the galaxy!

“?”

What’s the situation?

I’m having trouble sleeping?

Zhou Jing’s head was buzzing, and his face was full of question marks.

Suddenly, strands of starlight condensed in front of him, turning into a huge fluorescent panel with waterfall-like subtitles painted on it.

Just then, a flood of information floods into my head!

The production team’s donkeys must have been burned for a long time if they dared to rest so much, but I feel like time flies by so fast Ah, as if the end of the mechanic was only two or three months ago, I always feel like someone stole my time(*°?°)

(Although the theme of this time is still written in the interstellar background, it must have changed a lot, and the theme will be different. In addition, this time, unlike the mechanic who directly revealed the outline at the beginning, the various settings and There are many ways to play, and it will be explained with the plot. I think it is still very interesting. I hope it can be written more interestingly)
