Chapter 2

A mysterious, huge human face made up of clouds hovered over the entire city, looking down on the earth majestically. This weird 'sky phenomenon” immediately triggered an outcry of responses.

From Lin Tuo’s perspective, he put his face in the clouds and discovered that the ant-sized humans in the sand table city actually raised their heads, seeming to look back at him.

Very surprised, one after another stopped and pointed or took a video with their mobile phones.

“Can they see me?” Lin Tuo was surprised, subconsciously stood up, stepped back, and left the sand table. He only stood outside the sand table to observe.

And as he left, the dense, tiny little people in the city gradually dispersed.

In the old house, Lin Tuo’s eyes were full of restlessness.

Beep

Suddenly, he heard his phone’s notification sound, taking it out of his pocket, and found that it was from the company chat group.

Because Lin Tuo just resigned, he didn’t quit the group chat yet. At this moment, the chat group of his original department exploded.

A common theme amongst the messages was one piece of information.

“Have you seen it just now? The clouds in the city formed a human face!”

“I saw it! I took a photo! Look!” A young girl in the department hurriedly uploaded the photo, along with a few seconds of video.

“What, I ordered the takeaway and didn’t go out. What happened?”

“…Oh, missed it.”

The company department’s atmosphere was good, and it was a lunch break, so everyone did not have too many scruples when discussing these. Even the department leaders participated in the discussion and collectively had a meal.

Lin Tuo didn’t chat, peering silently at the screen, but his expression kept changing.

After clicking on the video for a few seconds, he watched it several times and finally confirmed that all this was true.

‘This sandbox does not just provide an observation perspective… What I do to it will be simultaneously reflected in reality…’

‘It’s just that my body seems to be transparent.’

The video shows that he had just overlooked the city, but his skin did not appear on the screen. Even the position of his eye sockets was only hollow.

The entire cloudy face was also blurry, so his facial features were still incomplete.

Therefore, no one could recognize him by this.

“It must be confirmed.” After thinking for a while, Lin Tuo’s eyes became interested. He thought for a while before he came to the sky above the sand table again, then gently puffed his cheeks and blew slowly.

Immediately, the dark clouds in the central area of the city slowly dispersed.

Because the action was careful and small, it didn’t attract too many people’s attention.

Then, Lin Tuo stretched out a finger, and it appeared as a cloud hanging over the city streets.

…

The central area of Yangcheng.

A bustling commercial street.

At this moment, it was very lively with people coming and going. A man in a suit and leather shoes went to the nearby outdoor parking lot while pulling his neckline and took out a key to his car.

But then, he suddenly felt a sultry wind blowing from above his head. The dust on the parking lot floor, under the wind pressure action, spread out in a circular ring.

“En?” The man was stunned and raised his head, but he only looked at the hot sky, “Weird thing.”

Muttering those words, he shook his head and ignored it.

…

In the old house.

Lin Tuo observed the man’s reaction in the sand table city and silently retracted his hand.

“It seems that my limbs entered the sand table and were in a transparent state. It was only because of the action earlier that I was discovered.”

“What about other substances? If you put an apple in, will it be transparent?” After Lin Tuo calmed down, he thought about the possibilities, but after thinking about it, he didn’t try it immediately.

“Although my body is invisible, the force on the city actually exists. If you put an object in rashly and an apple is put in, it may cause an earthquake because of the impact… and this will be reflected in reality. “

Lin Tuo swallowed and spit, thinking that he would destroy Yangcheng if he did not care if he moved more vigorously. He even relaxed his breathing a lot.

“By the way, if this sandbox is the real Yangcheng, do I exist in the sandbox?”

Suddenly, Lin Tuo came up with a bold idea.

He walked slowly around the sand table, and soon came to the outskirts of Yangcheng, and found that the mountain where he was located was also inside the sand table area.

He even saw his own martial arts gym on miniature Mt. Lishan.

“Wait for a second..” Lin Tuo’s heart jumped, and he held great curiosity. He immediately waved his hand to disperse the clouds above the mountain.

Then he bent down, carefully brought his face close to the martial arts hall in the sand table, and positioned him in the backyard, where he was now.

Then, he saw the hole in the ruined roof and brought his eyeballs to close.

Lin Tuo was surprised to find that there was also a table in this matchbox-like house, and there was one who was lying on the table watching something.

Lin Tuo breathed tightly, got up suddenly, turned his head, and looked at the hole in the top of his head, but there was no eyeball?

[Logical conflict occurred, repairing…]

[The host’s spirit and will in the sand table are stripped and taken over by the real host.]

All of a sudden, the system gave him some information. Lin Tuo shook his head and went to look at the sand table again, only to find that the ant-sized Lin Tuo inside the sand table was standing stupidly on the spot. It was like a puppet that had lost his soul.

At the same time, Lin Tuo suddenly had a strange feeling. He almost instinctively tried to manipulate this reduced version of himself, manipulating him to push the door out of the house, out of the martial arts hall, and onto the mountain road.

Then, Lin Tuo plunged his right hand into the sand table and hung it at the mountain’s foot without touching the ground.

Controlling the reduced version of himself, it jumped into the palm of his hand.

Slowly he took it out of the sand table.

In the old house, Lin Tuo looked at the “reduced version of Lin Tuo” standing in his palm in surprise, “Is there a conflict because two men can’t appear in the same time and space? This bug has been fixed?”

“Now, the Lin Tuo in the sand table has become something like a clone?”

Lin Tuo looked down at his clone with complicated eyes, and suddenly he had a thought. He tried to shift his perspective.

In the next second, Lin Tuo switched his consciousness into the clone body.

In his field of vision, he was standing on a crisscrossed “earth,” and the space became extremely broad. He raised his head and could see the vast, god-like main body.

However, because of the switch, the original Lin Tuo has no life in his eyes at the moment, presenting a puppet-like state.

Thoughts moved.

Lin Tuo switched his consciousness back to his body and then looked at the clone of his palm, his heart beating nonstop.

This experience is too exciting.

‘My heart is almost too weak, I’m afraid I can’t bear it…’

With a sigh of relief, Lin Tuo tried hard to calm himself down.

“It looks like… this sandbox can indeed affect reality, or that what it presents is the real world…”

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Lin Tuo’s eyes.

“So, can I use the clone to enter Yangcheng from the dimension of the sand table?”

As soon as he thought of it, Lin Tuo immediately put the clone into the sand table at the mountain’s foot, beside a particular remote national road.

He immediately retracted his hand and tried to switch to the small Lin Tuo.

…

Swish

The lighting and area in front of him changed. As he was in a daze, he opened his eyes wide. Lin Tuo found that he had left the old martial arts house.

He was standing by a national road.

Lifting his head, the world was extremely real. He took a step forward, trotted into the small town below the mountain, and saw that everything along the way was indeed real.

He just teleported directly from the martial arts hall to the town under the mountain by switching!

“Little Tuo? When did you come back?”

Before he knew it, Lin Tuo walked near his middle school and saw an aunt who watched him grow up in a shop and greeted him in surprise.

“Ah, I just came back…” Lin Tuo cheered up and chatted briefly. He didn’t say that he would reopen the martial arts gym, only that he was going back to his hometown.

Then he bought a lunch nearby, and then ran away from the mountain against the noon sun.5

After spending half an hour, Lin Tuocai finally came back outside the martial arts hall at home.

During this process, he did not switch back to the main body to experiment.

When he opened the door for the second time and stepped into the martial arts field with lush grass, Lin Tuo carried a bag of hot rice noodles, pushed open the old house door in a complex mood, and saw a puppet-like figure standing beside the sand table.

In the next second, his body shrank suddenly, the takeaway fell to the ground with patter, and his consciousness automatically returned to his body from the clone.

…

After half a minute.

Lin Tuo picked up the takeaway and ant-sized clone that had fallen on the ground, and when he moved his mind, the tiny clone turned into a stream of light and entered his palm.

He can vaguely sense its existence and can summon it at any time.

It seems that this is also the ability given by the sandbox to fix bugs.

Slurp

Sitting on the old house’s threshold, Lin Tuo ate the hot rice noodles, forcing himself not to visit the sand table city inside the house temporarily.

After a nice lunch with a cool breeze, Lin Tuo’s heart finally calmed down. He felt the quiet atmosphere of this house that he had lived in for more than ten years.

After a few minutes in a daze, Lin Tuo suddenly rubbed his face vigorously, his eyes glowing. His cough cleared, and he looked at the virtual panel his eyes.

With a serious tone: “So, what exactly are you?”
