"Good morning, everyone. I wish you and your family a day filled with joy today. But before that, let's listen to the latest news of the day..."

Glancing at the clock on the table, it seemed to be indicating the start of a brand new morning again.

No way, I had quite a bit to drink last night, and my head still feels a bit fuzzy.

The TV hanging on the wall was even more blinding than the morning light shining through the glass walls. It seems I forgot to turn it off again before going to bed last night.

"Hmm... It's quite satisfying to wake up and hear the beautiful and melodious voice of the female news anchor so early in the morning."

After battling the cold outside for a whole year, I may not be very strong now, but there are some noticeable muscles on my body after taking off my shirt.

Looking at the glass on the table with half a cup of beer left, I started to ponder.

Although I only have one silver knuckle duster, it is enough to shatter the shackles of a Ferrari under the enhancement function owned by the Moon Snow Ranger.

"Hey!" Equipped with the knuckle duster, I punched with all my strength towards the weakest rear window of the car, and click! The tough turtle shell was shattered like that.

Sitting in the driver's seat with interest, I played with the steering wheel. I have never really sat in such a luxury car before, and now I finally have the chance to indulge in my vanity and groom my own image.

The spacious and comfortable car seat allowed me to display a stylish and smug look. Not smoking? No problem, I have a chocolate cigarette on me, which can be quite addictive!

Speaking of luxury cars, I can't help but think of that pampered appearance.

"Why not go back home...?"

The pain from the wounds on my body has made me unable to think too much. But thinking back, there wouldn't be anyone who'd mind spending time with some young girls... Ahem, will I be able to resist that temptation myself?

At that moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang in my pocket.

"Juxi... Juxi! You little rabbit, where the hell are you?!"

A screaming voice, as if being strangled, came from the direction below, making me confused.

"Hey, this is Shura, I... hey?!"

I could only hear Uncle Sandman mumbling on the other end, but my voice seemed unable to reach him. It seemed like the only straw I could grasp to save myself had broken down...

"Hmph, what a waste of effort!"

Feeling a bit annoyed, I threw it to the ground, as I am entirely clueless when it comes to repairs.

And just as I was pondering, how could I forget that there was still a mouth waiting for me?

As I was about to climb out of the rear window, I accidentally touched the front trunk, and the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground became particularly crisp in my ears trained over a year of sniper training.

The object was hanging at the top of the trunk. Regular items wouldn't be located in such a hidden place!

Inside the luxury car were concealed two illegal lethal firearms: one was a Desert Eagle with seven bullets, a silencer, seventy spare bullets, and three empty clips, equipment that only the police would have.

The other was an upgraded Type 85 submachine gun. Although it was an old model from a few decades ago, the upgraded Type 85 can hold eighty bullets and can only fire military ammunition. It is powerless against longer non-lethal ammunition. The box contained six empty clips and eight hundred bullets.

For someone who had just lost their weapons, it was like a child having all the equipment without leaving any behind.

"Come on, guess what treasures big brother has brought back for you?"

Returning to the vicinity of the ice wall, the guy who teamed up with me had already woken up.

"Um... Is there a point in getting some food?"

"...Well, um, just give me a bread and a bottle of mineral water."

"Look, your body is your capital for a revolution! How can you fight off planes and cannons without this bread to tide you over, haha!"

In the midst of their conversation, I handed over a pack of compressed biscuits from the black box to him.

Following that, I opened a small box containing weapons and equipment for him to enjoy his meal while sitting against the wall, and the young man immediately froze in place.

"Where did you get these two guys from?"

Even while wolfing down his food, he sternly questioned me.

I mischievously gestured towards the group of eye-catching cars, with Elena's card notably standing out.

"I can't believe you actually dared to steal a luxury car like Elena's card... Huh, that's quite something!"

Phew! At such a critical moment when we had narrowly escaped a disaster, what restrictions of crime and adherence to the law were there left?

Tick, tock, one strike, two strikes... nine strikes!

The clock on the east wall of the garage pointed to nine!

His eyes widened suddenly as he gestured for me to help him up. Together, we stumbled towards the corner of the garage and found four bottles of mineral water on the truck parked there.

"Hey, listen..."

"Hmm?"

I gently set him down and looked into his eyes to hear what he had to say.

"We can't just sit around waiting to die. Though the only door here is securely locked..."

He furrowed his brows, pointing to a two-meter wide iron door on the west side of the truck, secured with a sturdy iron lock.

"But, the door being made of wire mesh won't be that strong. Inside the side compartment of the truck is a toolbox specifically for repair and removal tools, and we..."

"Oh!" I caught on to his idea and exclaimed, "We'll dismantle the door, and then we can leave!"

His face lit up as I gave the correct response, and he playfully raised his thumb, saying, "Bingo!"

Sometimes the more complicated things seem, the simpler they actually are.

"This is it then. I'll take care of the dismantling. With my survival training score of ninety-nine, I'll easily outperform your barely passing sixty-four."

My mocking comment left the newcomer speechless, his face turning black with embarrassment as he rolled his eyes, grunting, "Wow, ninety-nine points, big shot!"

"Heh, it's not about being a big shot!" I retorted as I broke the iron lock with a lever, then tapped lightly on the iron door with a wrench, saying confidently, "It's all about flaunting a bit of style and confidence!"

With a resounding thud to my strong voice, the door collapsed to the ground!

"Tsk, if I hadn't reminded you, with your brain at 5 IQ points, would you have thought of it?" he teased, turning back to me with a playful smile.

I chuckled inwardly at his good-natured joke, knowing deep down that the contrast between us was stark.

His perfect and gentle smile unexpectedly left me blushing, feeling filthy and foolish for developing feelings for a man, and a junior at that whom I had only recently met!

Cursing myself silently, I whispered, "I am heterosexual!!"

For the past year, travelling the world carrying out assassination missions, we were known as the reapers, but eventually, we were given the respected title - the Rangers!

That chapter of history was one I did not want to revisit, for this power had cost me much.

Including the love of family and a lost childhood, all fading into mere illusions.

With a wry smile, I carefully checked the junior, his round eyes widened with surprise from his frostbite. As I bent down to help him up from his injuries... the atmosphere between us took on a slightly awkward tone.

"Yikes!"

*Smack!*

I just wanted to carry him on my shoulders, since his legs were a bit frostbitten and he couldn't move around much.

"Um, hey, are you okay?"

He inexplicably slapped me, making me feel a bit guilty.

So I yelled at him, "How could I be okay?"

"...Sorry."

Sigh, looking at him shivering uncontrollably, unable to tell if it was from the cold or from being startled by me.

"Never mind, let's just get out of here first."

A real man never holds grudges over misunderstandings!

He obediently climbed onto my back, slowly searching for a way out.

Stepping over the fallen iron gate to explore the other half of the garage.

"We need to pick up the pace, it's almost ten o'clock at night now, we must investigate clearly! Hey, why are you poking me?"

"...” Ignoring my warning, he kept poking my waist as if he didn't hear me.

"What the heck are you doing?" I just raised my head and was stunned by the scene in front of me, "Is this... a sci-fi movie?"

"Waaah...!!"

There was a metal wire wall on the other side of the garage, like an army from hell! A group of "people" with gaping mouths stared at them with eyes full of desire, even I, a seasoned grim reaper, couldn't help but shudder.

...Interpreting depression...

In the eternal night, I had a dream, a very long dream, dreaming that the world was left with only me living alone in a boundless expanse with only a vast white and blue sky, with no one to tell me or prove my existence.

If one day, when the world falls into despair, will there be heroes to rise up? Certainly, if not, then I will be that hero! The boy solemnly replied to the girl.

The pretty, yet humble girl, in a white dress fluttering in the wind, occasionally revealed two mischievous tiger teeth behind her innocent smile - but who exactly was she?

Just as the boy was about to gaze into her face, he was sucked into a strange yet familiar world by a black hole.

Two years ago, on Valentine's Day.

A flirtatious young man always stamped his feet to buy books at the bookstore, and that person was me.

"Ha, friend, wanna buy some flowers?"

I blinked, "Why would I buy flowers?"

The boss chuckled, "To give to your girlfriend!"

"Oh?" I was confused for a moment, leaning closer to the boss and asking quietly, "How much do you need to spend to give flowers to a girlfriend?"

Eventually, he found himself in chaos amidst the crowd.

My dark history, no love!

During a lonely Christmas, however...

As the sky darkened, Sister Yukari (OK! OK! Bro, I'm off to the hot springs, you go hang with your best buddy, oh hahaha!)

Sigh! Letting out a sigh, "Wait a minute," turning back, it turned out to be Yu Nai, "What's up?"

Hehe, Yu Nai smiled mysteriously, "Yuanhui confessed to me again."

"Oh, congratulations."

"..."

"Hey! Why are you so indifferent?" Yu Nai was not pleased with my extreme nonchalance.

I exhaled mist (sighing helplessly), "He just wants your help, right? He doesn’t like the real-life of the third dimension."

Yu Nai twisted the toe of his foot, "Um, he wants a fake girlfriend, so..."

"So what?" Yu Nai suddenly ambushed me, "Drink!"

I fainted.

When I woke up again, it was dark, and I sat up and stood in front of the mirror.

"What...?" I was dumbfounded, "Yuanhui... come here!"

My hair was clearly silver, already shoulder-length, with long eyelashes, and in jeans I looked just like... What on earth was going on here?!
