PS: How could anyone think I want to change the map? Thanks, Young Master 55============= "You're amazing."

The police officer leading the team looked at Wu Yuan with a complicated expression.

The police, who were like monkeys, finally managed to get this guy down from the railing.

"I just didn't want to get beaten up inside, so I refused to come down no matter what."

Wu Yuan said sheepishly, half of the alcohol having worn off. He knew he had caused a big problem, and now the question was how to deal with the aftermath.

"No one will beat you up, at least not for now."

The flashlights had illuminated Wu Yuan's naked body as if it were daylight, and the police, unless they were idiots, wouldn't seek trouble for themselves.

However, his face didn't show any good signs. No one was dealing with him here, but that didn't mean no one would deal with him later.

The police station was in chaos, with people everywhere. These were the unlucky ones caught in the riots, and of course, some were genuine criminals.

"Brother, I like your ass, it's really nice!"

A young man in a floral shirt next to Wu Yuan said loudly, trying to stretch his leg to rub against Wu Yuan.

"Get lost, you faggot!"

Wu Yuan quickly avoided him and followed the police who had finished the procedures, leading him into the detention center.

The group walked along the detention center, and from time to time, inmates inside the barred doors shouted out, and some of their lecherous gazes made Wu Yuan even more uncomfortable.

"Brother cop, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

"You don't know?"

The police were almost driven to laughter by him. He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hit him, and took out his phone to play a video and show the news reports from the website.

"Find a good lawyer quickly, and get ready to go to jail!"

After locking this guy in a single room, he instructed the guards to keep a 24-hour watch. The deputy superintendent then left.

Well, I heard that a few good brothers were stripped naked and suffered severe psychological trauma. I hope they won't be too sad.

=============

The room in the detention center had a faint musty smell.

Wu Yuan took a deep breath and lay on the bed, lost in thought.

"This is really a super ridiculous situation!"

The video and the bits of information he got by pretending to be crazy made him realize how big the trouble was.

He raised his hand, looking at the smooth skin and strong muscles, and sighed deeply.

A year ago, after a car accident, he woke up to find himself in this world. Being a thick-skinned person, he quickly accepted the reality. His parents had already passed away, and there were no relatives worth missing.

Having read many穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which translates to "穿越" in English, but it is often used in the context of "time travel" or "alternate world" in Chinese literature) novels, he started to imagine whether he might be the protagonist, and perhaps have some kind of special ability.

In the end, he did find that he had a special ability, but it was limited to his current body.

This body was much stronger than an average person's, in short, it was an excellent athlete's body. Whether in terms of jumping ability or explosive power, it far exceeded that of ordinary people. This was quite remarkable, and the original owner of this body might have had a significant background.

Unfortunately, he didn't inherit the memories of this body. Although there were occasional fragments of memory in his mind, they couldn't be connected.

Coincidentally, the ID card carried by this body had the same name as his on Earth, Wu Yuan. Thus, Wu Yuan began his life in this new world.

First, he tried to understand the world, but what he learned left him speechless.

This was a planet similar to Earth but slightly larger, with the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, but also countless mountains and rivers he had never heard of.

The empire he was currently in was the Tang Empire, a modernized empire that maintained a constitutional monarchy.

It sounds magical or strange, doesn't it?

But the following facts were even more astonishing to Wu Yuan.

The current emperor of the Tang Empire was Li Jiancheng. In the history of this world, there was also a Han Empire, but historically, it was an empire founded on the basis of immortal techniques!

The Han Empire, known as the golden age of humanity!

Five hundred years ago, it was the most prosperous period of the Han Empire.

At that time, the Han Empire and the Roman Empire almost controlled the entire world, and the immortal techniques and arcane arts made the two empires incredibly powerful. But one night, the Age of Lawlessness arrived, and the immortal techniques and arcane arts became ineffective, causing the foundations of the two empires to collapse and plunging them into the greatest crisis.

Soon after, the two empires disintegrated, and with the invasion of barbarians, humanity fell into the darkest period.

Fortunately, the unassuming mechanical arts allowed humanity to maintain the last bit of light in the darkness. Gears, springs, firearms, and steam engines, which were once overlooked, took center stage, and humanity gradually revived a new civilization.

These things were not legends but historical records. Although the power of the immortals had collapsed, the various relics left behind were irrefutable evidence. This was a world that had transitioned from an immortal civilization to a scientific civilization.

Well, Wu Yuan didn't criticize these things; they weren't unreasonable. However, the historical records made him shudder.

People on Earth, when they saw the pyramids, would think of the former prosperity of ancient Egypt. In this world, people, when they saw the miraculous buildings created by immortal techniques, would admire the former immortal civilization.

The study of the former immortal civilization was always a hot topic. Not long ago, a professor who had just received the highest honor in the history field conducted research on the existence of the Monkey King, stating that the collapse of the immortal techniques was closely related to the joint sealing of the Monkey King by the Buddhist and Heavenly realms. The Earth of that time was just an insignificant corner of the immortal civilization, and to seal the Monkey King, the Buddha transformed this world into one where immortal techniques could not be used!

So, if Wu Yuan hadn't guessed wrong, he had come to a world similar to the prequel of "Journey to the West"! And having read "Journey to the West," he knew one thing.

The Monkey King, who was trapped under the Five-Finger Mountain, finally broke free after five hundred years, and that was during the reign of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

... Although in this world, Li Jiancheng became the emperor and entered the modern era, the world still had the shadow of "Journey to the West."

When myths entered history, it gave people a strange feeling.

This was a world full of mysteries, but it wasn't the most pressing concern for Wu Yuan now. According to the records in "Journey to the West," it would be about ten years before the Monkey King escaped.

Wu Yuan's biggest problem now was how to get himself out of trouble.

=============

In the office of the detention center director, Director Wang frowned tightly.

"Boss Lin, what you're doing will make things very difficult for me."

"If it's difficult for you, you don't have to do it. Someone else will. Crisis is also an opportunity, you understand? Your detention center isn't exactly clean. If a thorough investigation is conducted, what problems won't be found? If you don't do it, someone else will, and they might benefit."

"Boss Lin..."

"Director Wang, you should know who I represent. It's not that I want to do this, but they want me to. If you refuse, I would actually be happy."

"I know, I know..."

Director Wang hung up the phone and sighed deeply.

The chaos of the night brought immense joy to the people, but it also changed the lives of some unlucky ones.

The vice mayor's political career was over. He was stripped naked and found wearing a woman's bra. No one knew if he had put it on by mistake or had a fetish, but the pink bra would shame him for life.

The serious political director of the police department was exposed naked in front of everyone, and he cried like a child, covering his face. Many people saved his naked images on their hard drives, edited them, and posted them on the intranet.

The狂欢 (狂欢 means "狂欢" in Chinese, which translates to "狂欢" in English, but it is often used in the context of "wild party" or "carnival" in Chinese literature) crowd did many unimaginable things, stripping many high officials of their glamorous exteriors. As the culprit who caused all this, Wu Yuan would undoubtedly face the wrath of some powerful people.

Director Wang knew this. When Wu Yuan was detained, he specially arranged a single room for him to avoid any problems, such as someone communicating with the guards to come and beat him up.

But he didn't expect the call to come directly to his phone from a powerful figure who had connections in both the black and white worlds, and who also had hints from higher-ups to cooperate.

He bit his lip, thought for a moment, and then called in his subordinates to give them instructions.

=============

An hour later.

Opposite Wu Yuan's cell was another temporary detention room, which was quite large. Through the bars, he could see five strong men who had just been brought in, none of whom looked like good people.

"Your cell has been changed."

The police knocked on the door and led Wu Yuan to the opposite side.

"Listen carefully, don't cause trouble inside. If someone bullies you, remember to report it."

The guard said the official words and then opened the detention room.

"Wait a moment, you should know who I am. Such a big incident just happened in Yunzhou City. If I get beaten up or injured, you and your superiors will be held responsible."

Something was off, and Wu Yuan felt that his words were being watched. He noticed the helpless expressions on the faces of the two police officers.

"Don't talk nonsense. We'll see what happens when you go in."

The guard pushed Wu Yuan's back and pushed him into the large room.

"Listen up, don't cause trouble. You all have minor issues, and causing trouble won't help. Stay here for the night and then go out, got it?"

"Are they also detained?"

Wu Yuan turned and asked.

"Yeah."

The guard closed the iron gate and turned to leave.
