Chapter 2: The beginning of bad luck
The air is fresh at night after the rain.

A modified car that had just robbed a bank was driving recklessly on the streets, with several police cars chasing it from behind.

Under the cover of night, sporadic gunshots and police sounds were intertwined, drug addicts and homeless people were wandering on the roadside, and two passers-by who had a disagreement pulled out guns and shot at each other.

This is just an ordinary night in Tailing City, where the people are simple and honest.

In a deserted alley, a ragged homeless man was gasping for breath, holding a wooden stick.

The end of the wooden stick was stained with blood, and in front of the homeless man, a young man in a suit and tie was lying on the ground, with warm blood flowing from the back of his head.

There was another homeless man with a cane nearby. He looked at the young man who had already died and yelled at his accomplice: "What did you do? Didn't you just knock him out? Why did you kill him?"

"It's none of my business. He fell down before I even put any force on him."

"Bullshit, I clearly saw you using all your strength, but you didn't even use that much strength when you were taking a fucking shit."

"If you die, you die. It's not the first time I've done this."

The tramp dropped the stick in his hand, squatted down and began to search the body for valuables, from top to bottom, even between the legs.

Suddenly, the lifeless young man raised his hand and tightly grasped the homeless man's wrist. A low voice came from his mouth: "Sorry, I'm not used to men touching me down there."

The homeless man fell backwards in fear. He subconsciously grabbed the wooden stick next to him and continued to hit the young man on the back of the head.

The young man suddenly rolled over to avoid the stick, grabbed the briefcase that fell beside him, and threw it at the homeless man's face.

The tramp cried out, and fell down with his face covered. When he got up again, he found that his companion had tucked his crutch under his ribs and had already fled into the distance. His two healthy legs ran with the momentum of a 100-meter sprinter.

"Didn't you say you were a cripple?"

The homeless man kept cursing and chasing, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The alley became quiet again.

After a while, the young man staggered to his feet from the ground, touched the back of his head and found his hands covered in blood.

He wiped his hands with his clothes, looked up at the neon lights in the distance, and frowned: "How did I travel through time and space to become a poor guy?"

He is a time traveler.

In the previous life, I was an explorer and a paranormal enthusiast, and I was very keen on exploring all kinds of secret and strange events and places.

As the saying goes, if you do something horrible, you will die. He died accidentally while exploring an ancient tomb, but he didn't expect that after his death he would travel back in time to this young man.

The young man is called Shen Cheng, a top student at a medical university, and is currently doing an internship.

In terms of academic qualifications, his future is bright. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a respected doctor, marries a beautiful and rich woman, and reaches the peak of his life.

However, an incident that happened recently completely disrupted Shen Cheng's beautiful life.

A month ago, he received a huge package. The sender turned out to be his father who had passed away several years ago. When he opened it, he found a beautiful girl inside.

Shen Cheng was overjoyed, thinking that his father was afraid that he was too introverted to find a girlfriend, so he arranged a daughter-in-law for him before he died.

I thought that from now on I could live a good life of being naughty from Monday to Friday and having two days off from Saturday to Sunday, but I didn't expect that after the girl woke up, she immediately revealed her true face - a vampire.

In this world, humans are not the only race at the top of the food chain. All kinds of monsters and demons are rampant, so the sudden appearance of a vampire is very normal and logical.

The female vampire hypnotized Shen Cheng, forcing him, an intern at the hospital, to steal blood from the hospital every day and bring it home as food for her.

As if this wasn't bad enough, Shen Cheng confessed his love to the nurse he had a crush on this morning and was awarded a good guy card. During the routine physical examination in the afternoon, he was diagnosed with leukemia. Even with active treatment, he would not live for more than a few years.

Shen Cheng came out of the hospital in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he realized that he had not stolen blood today.

He noticed two homeless people on the side of the road, and his mind was blown, so he decided to pay them for blood.

Unexpectedly, the two homeless people helped Shen Cheng to come up with an idea and even wanted to spend money for him. They were very kind-hearted.

He was bullied by vampires, rejected by goddesses, contracted leukemia, and beaten by homeless people.

You are so unlucky. Did you take off your pants to make a slingshot in your previous life and hit the glass of the goddess of luck's house?
I want to write a hundred miserable words on your tombstone. As an explorer, he quickly accepted Shen Cheng's new identity.

The most urgent task is to get rid of the hungry female vampire in the house.

The safest way is to hand it over directly to the country. However, as Shen Cheng, who stole blood to feed ghosts, he would probably have to serve a few years in prison. When he is released from prison, the leukemia will relapse and he can be buried directly.

This method takes into account everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to burial, which is really thoughtful.

The second method is to just pick up the bucket and run away, letting the female vampire see the limits of human long-distance running.

Didn't expect this to be my escape route?
But how to solve leukemia?
After finally traveling through time, Shen Cheng wanted to experience a wonderful new life instead of lying on a hospital bed and counting the days until he died.

He took out a handkerchief from his briefcase to cover the wound while thinking about countermeasures.

Vampires and leukemia, both deadly things, what should I do?
After a while, Shen Cheng, a test-taker from a small town, immediately found a solution to the problem.

A female vampire can Embrace a human to become another vampire. If she herself is also Embraced, then with her vampire physique, wouldn't she be able to solve the leukemia problem?

This will also have the consequence of becoming a slave to the female vampire.

However, Shen Cheng also has his own trump card.

A time traveler without the golden finger is worse than a dog.

Hang up!

Shen Cheng put his hand on his chest, as if he was pinching something between his two fingers. He gently reached out and actually took out a blue card from his chest.

This is the golden finger he brought with him when he traveled through time. As long as he can fulfill the deceased's last wish, he can randomly draw one of the deceased's abilities.

Before completing your last wish, you can try out a weakened version of this ability.

The last wish of his predecessor was to cure leukemia. Shen Cheng has not helped him fulfill his wish yet, but he can try to use the weakened version of the ability he extracted.

The blue card is very exquisite, with a thorn pattern on the back and two broken chains on the front.

Shen Cheng read the information on the card and found that it was an ability called Cutting Shackles.

After use, it can improve mental resistance and immunity to mental control with mental strength not exceeding twice your own.

Humans in this world are able to fight against demons. In addition to the power of technology, they can also awaken various super powers.

There are five common types of superpowers: life, consciousness, protection, destruction, and chaos.

Among them, all abilities related to spiritual power belong to spiritual consciousness.

Obviously, his predecessor should have been a person with spiritual abilities, but he himself had not awakened, and his hidden abilities were extracted by Shen Cheng only after his death.

The trial period for Breaking the Shackles is one month. If leukemia cannot be cured within one month, this weakened version of the ability will disappear.

Only after completing the last wish can you get the full version of the ability.

Shen Cheng chose to use it, and the blue card turned into countless fragments in his hand. He also gained the ability to be immune to mental control, and his mental resistance was also enhanced.

Although this ability is not strong enough, it can solve his current urgent problem without him having to worry about becoming a slave to a vampire.

The only uncertainty is whether one can be immune to the control of vampires.

Just as Shen Cheng was about to leave, a stray dog ​​suddenly ran in from outside the alley, and started barking at him.

Shen Cheng just remembered that this stray dog ​​seemed to be raised by those two homeless people.

He stared at the stray dog, and the dog gradually stopped barking.

The man and the dog looked at each other silently.
