The crisis was averted right from the start
"My name is Liu Di .I'm here today because I want to find out how much longer I have to live."
The fortune teller adjusted his small sunglasses, straightened his handlebar mustache, and looked at the young man before him with a glint in his eyes.
Beside him stood a banner that read: "Foresee all worldly matters, understand fortune and misfortune alike."
"Young man, I see a flash of white light in the depths of your right eye, and your gaze is unwavering. This means you're under the influence of the Heavenly Fortune Star. Within three days, a great opportunity will come your way."
The fortune teller spoke gravely, "Young man, you're on the verge of rising to greatness. Why ask about life and death?"
Liu Di let out a soft sigh, then skillfully squeezed his eye socket, causing his right eyeball to plop into his palm with a squelch, leaving only a chilling black hole in the eye socket.
"Sir, that was a prosthetic eye."
The fortune teller's body trembled slightly, "Hence the reason for your unwavering gaze; it's all because it's made of plastic..."
Liu Di helplessly said, "Although what you said is completely unreliable, I'll just take it as a bit of good luck."
Liu Di has only one good eye.Three years ago, while at a bar, he came to the rescue of a girl who was being surrounded by thugs, and he was directly stabbed in the right eye with a broken bottle of liquor.
The eye was directly removed.Since then, he has worn an artificial eye.as they say, good people don't always get their rewards.
"Life has been hard, becoming blind at a young age is not worth living, it might as well be over."
Liu Di smirked at himself and massaged his temples, skillfully pushing his artificial eye back into place. However, he failed to notice that a sudden spark of a fine electrical current had begun to flicker within the artificial eye that was now securely in position.
Stepping out of the dim alley, who was greeted by the bustling streets filled with a stream of cars and flowing traffic. Street vendors shouted their wares, and pedestrians moved in a constant flow. As Liu Di was pondering the callousness of the world, a sudden, piercing pain shot through his right eye!
Liu Di closed his eyes in pain, then stumbled and sat down on the bench beside the street. After what felt like an eternity of enduring a brain-shattering headache, he finally opened his eyes again.
The world was turned upside down!
Amidst the heavens and the earth, countless blue codes drift through the air without a trace, and thereafter, every landscape is clearly marked with a variety of data points. The world in my eyes is grand and splendid, with dense clusters of blue branches.
The speed of cars, the height of buildings, the height and weight of pedestrians, the speed of the wind, and the number of leaves are all present, as if a digital storm had been spontaneously whipped up from nowhere.
Suddenly, a small boy's voice echoed in Liu
Di's mind, clear and ethereal."I am the supercomputer in your right eye, now integrated with your brain's neurons, and I have become the only artificial intelligence in the world capable of independent thought.I also gave myself a name —Mystic Pupil."
As Liu Di was taken aback, a red light circle suddenly appeared in his field of view, directly locking onto a nearby woman in a red mini-skirt.
In Liu Di's mind, the small boy's voice came again, "Liu Di, there's no time for explanations. In 2 minutes and 50 seconds, this girl will be brains everywhere! Pick up the apple from the stall beside you!"
About ten meters away, the woman was looking up proudly, walking with an elegant posture along the roadside. Her bright red mini-skirt and seductive figure made her the most dazzling sight on the street.
There were no signs of any danger at all!
"I'll demonstrate the divination for you!" As the words fell from the mouth of Mystic Pupil
, a light circle appeared again in Liu Di's perspective, locking onto a single emerald-green apple on the fruit stall next to him.
The accidental touch of the vendor sent the apple rolling, dropping directly to the ground from the stall. A passing elder, with a gentle smile, kindly helped the vendor pick up the apple.In the moment the elder bent down, a Parker pen fell from his chest to the ground.
The pen rolled a distance of 1.5 meters and came to a stop in the middle of the sidewalk.
Thirty seconds later, a young man on a mountain bike rode by, and his front tire landed directly on the pen.The bike's front tire skidded, and the young man lost control, falling to the side of the road.
A screeching brake sound echoed, as a sedan speeding at 70 km/h swerved sharply to avoid the young man on the bike! The high-speed car, suddenly turning, lost control and careened straight toward the red-skirted beauty standing by the roadside!
The red-skirted beauty had no time to react; she was struck heavily by the sedan, her body soaring into the air, and upon landing, her forehead struck the curb with a forceful impact.
Liu Di's hair stood on end instantaneously. In the next moment, the surrounding scenery began to blur and transform into a series of digital codes, which then dissipated with a thunderous roar.
To Liu Di's right lay the green apple. In the distance, an elderly man was strolling leisurely towards him, his chest adorned with a silver fountain pen whose cap reflected a twinkling light.
The short skirted beauty is still walking with her chin up. The bicycle rider is still 10 meters away. The upper corner of the video shows a countdown: 1 minute and 40 seconds.
Liu Di stared blankly, lost in thought.
"The scene just now was a virtual projection I deduced based on the real situation, and only you can save that girl!" The voice of the Mystic Pupil interrupted Liu Di's daze.
The apple had started rolling!
Liu Di no longer hesitated and reached out to firmly grasp the green apple in his hand!
Next, the elderly man with the pen and the bicycle safely passed by Liu Di.
The speeding Toyota car roared through the street, speeding away into the distance.
There was no car accident!There was no death!The street was as calm and busy as countless mornings, just like any other.
Liu Di stood there, staring blankly as he took a bite from the apple in his hand.The tangy and tart taste filled his mouth, telling him that everything was real!
