In a rented apartment in the city of Yanzhao, within the territory of Huaxia, the night was deep, and it was already past eleven o'clock. Our protagonist, Song Yicheng, was half-asleep, his eyes half-closed, sitting in front of his computer. Suddenly, a new news item popped up on the LCD monitor from QQ News.
The headline was in large, bold characters: "Prehistoric Giant Snake Appears on Mount Fuji in Japan, Another Rampage Killing in the United States."
The content of the news briefly described the two major events that had occurred in the two countries that day. Some of the tourists' escape scenes were shown in the news photos, but unfortunately, there were no pictures of the monster. It seemed that to avoid unnecessary panic, Japan had blocked those images.
The United States was no different, with only the bodies of the police officers who had been killed and the bloodstains on the ground indicating the severity of the situation.
"Tsk, tsk, another monster, but there are no pictures. Is it really true? How big is this prehistoric giant snake?"
Song Yicheng, a graduate of a third-rate university, was already twenty-five years old. He was an ordinary employee at a company in Yanzhao City. He worked hard every day, and his salary, after sending a thousand yuan home each month, barely covered his living expenses. Standing at 1.70 meters tall with an ordinary appearance, and coming from a rural family, he had not managed to find a girlfriend. With no money and no girlfriend, he had no other activities after work. His greatest hobby was browsing news, reading web novels, and watching movies on his computer.
Just as Song Yicheng was marveling at the news on the monitor, a miniature wormhole appeared in the air above his apartment. A dense black mist enveloped a black, elongated crystal, which emerged from the energy vortex in the wormhole. It hovered and darted around in the air.
The black light flew for less than a minute before the entire black mist transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting down toward the apartment. The black mist left a long, black trail in the air, smashing a large hole in the glass of the window. The black mist, as if guided by eyes, instantly penetrated Song Yicheng's forehead.
Powerful energy surged wildly within Song Yicheng's body. Several different forces began to circulate wildly, causing his skin to tear open with small wounds, and blood to seep through his clothes. The powerful energy continuously strengthened his body, muscles, and bones.
The intense pain caused Song Yicheng's face to contort. Large beads of sweat poured from his body, quickly soaking his clothes. The unbearable pain and torment distorted his face, and his arms were covered with bulging veins, like coiling dragons.
"Host found, system bound, activating Interceptor program, initiating primary physical enhancement..."
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in Song Yicheng's mind, speaking in a language he couldn't understand.
Unable to vent his extreme pain, Song Yicheng, as if driven mad, began to crash around the small apartment, smashing things. Supported by the seemingly endless energy within him, he smashed his beloved LCD monitor to the ground, which emitted thick smoke and was clearly unusable. His hands were now bloody and exposed bones, but the powerful life energy quickly healed the wounds, forming scars and eventually returning to their original state.
After smashing the monitor, the pain in Song Yicheng's body did not subside. Unable to bear the intense pain, he smashed his computer desk, reducing it to splinters, and his computer case was flattened by his punches.
In his last punch, he accidentally touched the power socket, and the strong current from the exposed metal wires shocked him, causing him to jump and dance like a mad bull. Within seconds, he was shocked unconscious and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Ha ha ha, finally awake, endless ages, eternal slumber, ha ha ha, I have finally been awakened, ha ha ha... Hmm, the Interceptor system, such a low-level AI, actually fused with me. Host? Ha ha, such a weak body, quickly improve, my soul is eager to find a..."
As Song Yicheng lost consciousness, a black mist emerged from his body, forming a twisted,疯狂的人类面孔在空中狂笑着,吼叫着。过了一会儿,当宋一程的身体突然动了一下,准备醒过来的时候,这些黑气猛地一收,面孔立刻消失无踪,整个房间恢复了原先的平静。
当宋一程悠悠醒来时,他望着像被十二级狂风肆虐过的灾难现场,欲哭无泪。哥这是招谁惹谁了,谁干的,我的电脑!我的天啊!
望着一片狼藉的房间,宋一程拼命晃了晃脑袋,双手一撑,准备从地上爬起来。
“砰”的一声,宋一程的身体高高跃起,头部撞到了房顶,重重地摔了下来,直接摔了个狗吃屎,吓得他坐在地上再也不敢动了。
这,这是怎么回事?哥什么时候竟然可以跳这么高了,难道,哥现在是鬼上身了不成?不可能,可是我体内这股强大的力量又是怎么回事,哥现在可是前所未有的强大,哥这是怎么了?刚才那阵剧烈的疼痛和自己整个身体的变化,把宋一程彻底弄蒙了,整个人愣在那里,慢慢地回忆着今天晚上的所有事情。
对了,一道黑色的雷光从外面穿了进来,还劈坏了哥的窗户,哥还没来得及反应,那道光竟然冲着我就过来了,然后我就疼晕了,在屋子里乱砸一气,瞧瞧这顿造的,我可怜的电脑啊,这可是哥两个月的工资啊!
“系统宿主绑定完成,已完成宿主初级强化程序,穿越拦截者系统开启,开始生成储物空间……储物空间制造成功,目前可用储物空间为五立方米……”。
“谁,谁在说话”?
宋一程的意识刚刚回到自己的体内,就冷不丁地听到了这句话,这一下可把宋一程吓了一跳,身体猛地一扭,飞快地朝身后望了过去。
咦,没人,那,刚刚的声音,是怎么来的?
“宿主,拦截者系统引导者为您服务,您有什么需要了解的问题,引导者在这里全权为您解答”。
正在宋一程胡思乱想的时候,一道毫无感情色彩的声音出现在宋一程的脑海之中。
“有鬼,难道是闹鬼了不成,难道说我这是被鬼上身了?”宋一程听到自己脑海中的声音后,第一个感觉就是有鬼,自己一定是被鬼上身了。想到这里,他整个人连退了好几步,两只眼睛惊恐地四下打量,寻找声音的来源。
“宿主,没有闹鬼,以地球现在的灵气浓度,还不足以维持鬼魂的存活。我是穿越拦截者系统的引导者,穿越拦截者系统已经与您进行了灵魂绑定,您现在就是这拦截者系统的主人。有什么问题的话,我这里可以逐一为您解答……”。
冰冷无情的机械声音再次在宋一程的脑海之中响起,告诉了宋一程事情的来龙去脉。
“穿越拦截系统,你是从哪里来的,或者说,是谁制造了你,神仙,还是外星人”?
宋一程这时心情平静了许多,脑子里飞快地转动起来,思索着这个莫名其妙钻出来的系统到底是什么东西。
“资料不足,系统无法回答”。
“敢情你就是一个三无产品啊!那么,这个什么穿越者拦截系统,是干什么用的”?
“系统就是系统,我的主要功能,就是帮助宿主尽快强大起来,并对那些通过空间虫洞通道,穿越到地球空间之中的来自不同空间世界的穿越者进行拦截,并击杀他们。这些穿越者的出处,可能是各个小千世界、中千世界中的人物,也可能是那些依靠地球人类的幻想与信仰之力催生出来的梦幻空间中的人物。系统有着完善的任务奖惩制度,在感应到有穿越者出现时,会自动发布截杀任务,完成任务后,宿主会得到相应的奖励,任务失败的话,系统会有不同程度的惩罚,用来激励宿主再接再厉,完成未完成的截杀任务……”。
“惩罚,最高级别的惩罚,不会就是抹,抹,抹杀我的存在吧”?
宋一程不亏是看多了无限小说的主,一下子就抓住了问题的重心所在,提心吊胆地问出了自己最关心的问题。
“不会,你是系统认定的唯一主人,系统不会做出危害宿主生命安全的事情。那些惩罚只会让你在精神上或肉体上难受一些,不会有生命危险”。
听到系统的回答后,宋一程终于高呼一声,猛地又蹦了起来。在他的脑袋再次狠狠地撞上了房顶后,他总算从激动无比的疯狂中清醒过来,喜不自胜地在乱七八糟的屋子里转着圈,口中喃喃自语地说着些不着调的话语,以发泄自己内心深处的激动与幸福。
“哈哈哈,哥哥我终于也撞上大运了,哈哈哈,竟然得到了这传说中的大机缘,穿越拦截者,这么看起来的话,这段时间出现在那些新闻中的怪兽之类的东东,一定就是从别的世界里面穿越而来的,一定是这样,指导者,嗯,应该就是这个系统的系统精灵吧?哥要发了……哈哈哈哈……等哥强大起来后,那个,横扫地球统一宇宙,上天下地,唯我独尊,不对,这是如来佛祖的愿望,不是哥的,哥要三宫六院,七十二妃才对……”。
正当宋一程乐不可支地在那里意淫个不停的时候,系统的下一句话,把他从美好的幻想中拉了出来,并告诉了他一个非常残酷的事实。
本书已经签约,从不断更,绝不太监,请大家放心收藏,行道一定会用百分之一千的热血和激情用心写好这本书,谢谢!

A twisted,疯狂的人类面孔在空中狂笑着,吼叫着。过了一会儿,当宋一程的身体突然动了一下,准备醒过来的时候,这些黑气猛地一收,面孔立刻消失无踪,整个房间恢复了原先的平静。
When Song Yicheng finally came to, he looked at the disaster scene that resembled the aftermath of a level 12 typhoon, and felt like crying. "Who did this? My computer! Oh my God!"
Looking at the devastated room, Song Yicheng shook his head vigorously and tried to get up from the floor.
With a loud "bang," Song Yicheng's body leaped high, his head hitting the ceiling, and he fell heavily to the ground, landing on his face. Shocked, he sat on the ground, too afraid to move.
What is going on? When did I become so strong? Could I be possessed by a ghost? No, that's impossible, but what about this powerful energy inside me? I've never felt so strong before. What happened to me? The intense pain and the changes in my body have completely confused me. Song Yicheng was lost in thought, trying to recall everything that had happened that night.
Right, a black bolt of lightning came through the window and broke it. Before I could react, the light came straight at me, and then I passed out from the pain. I must have gone berserk and smashed everything in the room. My poor computer, that was two months' salary!
"System host binding complete, primary host enhancement program completed, Interceptor system activated, generating storage space... Storage space creation successful, current available storage space is five cubic meters..."
"Who, who is speaking?"
As Song Yicheng's consciousness returned to his body, he was startled by the voice. He quickly turned around to look behind him.
Huh, no one there. Where did that voice come from?
"Host, the Interceptor system guide is here to serve you. If you have any questions, I am here to answer them."
While Song Yicheng was lost in thought, a cold, emotionless voice appeared in his mind.
"Is there a ghost? Am I being haunted? Could I be possessed by a ghost?" Song Yicheng's first thought was that there was a ghost, and he was being possessed. He took several steps back, his eyes darting around in fear, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Host, there is no ghost. The current spiritual energy concentration on Earth is not sufficient to sustain a ghost's existence. I am the guide of the Interceptor system. The Interceptor system has bound with your soul, and you are now the owner of this system. If you have any questions, I can answer them for you..."
The cold, mechanical voice in Song Yicheng's mind explained the situation.
"Interceptor system, where did you come from, or who created you, a god, or an alien?"
Song Yicheng calmed down a bit and quickly thought about what this mysterious system was.
"Insufficient data, the system cannot answer."
"So, you're a three-nothing product! Then, what is this Interceptor system used for?"
"The system is designed to help the host become stronger and to intercept and eliminate those who travel through space wormholes to Earth from different dimensions. These travelers could be from various small or medium-sized worlds, or from dream worlds created by the imagination and faith of Earth's humans. The system has a comprehensive task and reward system. When a traveler is detected, the system will automatically issue a task to intercept and eliminate them. Completing the task will earn the host rewards, while failing will result in penalties to motivate the host to try again and complete the task."
"Punishments, what is the highest level of punishment? Could it be... erasing my existence?"
Song Yicheng, having read many infinite novels, immediately grasped the core of the issue and nervously asked the most important question.
"No, you are the system's recognized sole owner. The system will not harm your life. The punishments will only cause you discomfort in your mind or body, but will not endanger your life."
Hearing the system's response, Song Yicheng finally let out a loud cheer and jumped up. His head hit the ceiling again, but he finally came to his senses from his intense excitement. Overjoyed, he walked around the messy room, muttering to himself, expressing his deep joy and happiness.
"Ha ha ha, I've finally hit the jackpot! Ha ha ha, I've actually obtained this legendary opportunity. The Interceptor system, it seems that the monsters in the news lately must have come from other worlds. Yes, the guide, the system's spirit, must be this. I'm going to get rich... Ha ha ha... When I become powerful, I'll sweep the Earth, unify the universe, rule the heavens and the earth, be the supreme ruler... No, that's the wish of the Buddha, not mine. I want a harem of three palaces and seventy-two concubines..."
Just as Song Yicheng was lost in his fantasies, the system's next words pulled him back to reality and revealed a harsh truth.
