"Uh, sneeze!"

John Smith, actually a man named Xiao Lan, covered his body, which was only wearing a shirt, and sneezed again in a low voice.

"Well, if I had known better, I wouldn't have acted so handsome. I would have just stripped a piece of clothing off those people. It seems like I'm going to catch a cold..."

Muttering in a low voice, Xiao Lan, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but sigh behind the wall.

There is no escape.

This is only the third day. Is it already so far behind the times in just three years?

Three years, he, Xiao Lan, has truly been sleeping in bed for three years.

Three years ago, he was still the young master of the Xiao family, a genius who had been praised since he was born.

The Xiao family in City Z, as a family that has survived hundreds of years and several dynasty changes, is still alive and well, so it must have its own unique features.

His management model can almost be described as the law of the jungle. Knowing the principle of destruction, in order to break the magic barrier of being rich for no more than three generations, they must choose a successor who can develop the family, and chose this method of existence -

—It’s competition.

The person who can continue the family must be cold, indifferent, iron-blooded, ruthless, persevering, wise, powerful, and unscrupulous...

But geniuses are often like meteors in the sky, passing away in a flash. Only those who truly survive to the end are the winners who can continue to propagate the family.

Xiao Lan is such a genius, and the Xiao family has placed deep "high hopes" on this smart child.

Xiao Lan did not disappoint their expectations. He has shown superior talents since he was a child, a memory that is beyond ordinary people, and a logic that can draw inferences from one instance... However, the excessively brilliant results not only bring brilliance, but also cause problems.

Comes the darkness.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.

As a family, how could there be only one descendant of Xiao Lan? With the population explosion at the end of the last century, two uncles, one uncle, and three aunts, plus his father's previous generation, a total of seven people, all coveted his grandfather.

The family power and huge wealth that he still controls.

Similarly, everyone has their own offspring. There is no harmonious family relationship among the nine children, big and small. With the acquiescence of their elders, they are fighting for each other secretly and openly.

After all, my grandfather is only over 60 years old. I don’t know how long it will take until he can establish an heir. The chance of the heir falling to their generation is much higher than that of their parents.

Then Xiao Lan's tragedy happened. No matter how smart a child is, he is just a child. He is eager to express himself to his parents, and his overly high-end talent, while getting praise from his parents, also attracts hatred, causing others to unite in unison.

Get up and deal with him.

After experiencing many bumps and bumps, Xiao Lan, who has grown up, has gradually recognized the reality and the cold-blooded truth behind the hypocrisy of his relatives. Sadly, apart from his parents, only his uncle's daughter Xiao Yan can be the only one in the family.

I actually had a few words with him.

After his parents died in an "accident" in a car accident when he was fourteen, the situation became even more serious. Xiao Lan, who lost his parents, lost the laughter of the past and could not even force a smile. Moreover, it seemed that Xiao Lan was stimulated.

Lan is becoming more and more extreme emotionally, but in terms of achievements, she has gone a step further. She has given up unnecessary emotions and devoted all her will to absorbing knowledge. Xiao Lan's performance is more terrifying than before. Her grandfather's praise from time to time is almost

The identity of his heir was confirmed.

This aroused jealousy, but how could Xiao Lan, who had experienced the "accidental" death of her parents, not pay attention?

He does not eat any outside food, does not ride in vehicles of unknown origin, and rarely enters or exits unnecessary public places. His daily entertainment life is the Internet and DVDs. His cautious and pathological life has made Xiao Lan's external defense reach the highest level.

.

But after a long separation, the breakthrough point is Xiao Ya, the only one who can be close to him. However, in fact, Xiao Lan has never let go of her. It is not that he doubts her, but that her brother, who is equally talented but has amazing

But the man who was covered up by him had enough motives!

This seemingly harmonious but secretly turbulent life lasted until Xiao Lan's eighteenth birthday.

A hundred secrets and a sparse.

Xiaoya, who longed for forbidden love, under the guidance of his elder brother, added an unknown liquid that she thought was a love potion and was confirmed to be a love potion in the safe wine that Xiao Lan trusted.

Xiao Lan drank the spiked adult wine without any doubt. Feeling a little drunk, Xiao Lan staggered onto the balcony, and then lost his footing and fell from a height of ten meters... Back

land.

Even though the frightened Xiao Ya sent someone to the hospital in time, Xiao Lan did not wake up again.

Fake alcohol poisoning, this is the cause report given by the doctor.

Xiao Ya ingested more than 20 ml of methanol at one time. Although Xiao Ya was sent to the hospital immediately, it was still too late.

Under emergency rescue, the hospital successfully eliminated the formic acid that entered the blood and prevented the occurrence of kidney failure, a terminal disease. However, it was unable to do anything about the formic acid that had entered the eyes. The formic acid that rapidly accumulated in the eyes was completely eliminated before being sent to the hospital.

It destroyed Xiao Lan's visual nerve cells, and due to the completely damaged optic nerve endings, Xiao Lan couldn't transplant an eyeball even if he wanted to.

Xiao Lan was completely blind.

This is a conspiracy, not a very sophisticated one, but a simple and effective one.

The red wine taken out of the room was later confirmed to be fake, but people who understood it sneered at it. It was obvious that this was the arrangement made by the dear elder brother.

It's just that others already hated him Xiao Lan, and this time he lost power and was even more happy. This foolproof plan only left Xiao Ya with a loophole, but threatening this already frightened girl with Xiao Lan's life

She obeyed obediently, and the girl, who could not cry to anyone, could only cry in front of Xiao Lan's bed every day.

But his brother's decision was far more than that. A few days later, breaking news came that a rich girl committed suicide due to guilt.

It's just that Xiao Lan doesn't know anything about this information because he has been lying in the hospital since the incident.

Compared with blindness caused by methanol poisoning, falling from a height of more than ten meters is much worse.

Although the back landing coincidentally did not cause any fractures or displacements, the head suffered a violent, non-fatal impact. As a result, he slept for three years, just like that, spent in the hospital bed.

In the endless darkness.

Floating up and down in the darkness of nothingness, when he woke up again after being on the verge of death countless times, the world had become extremely strange.

First of all, the light is lost forever.

People with vision can never imagine the pain of completely losing light. The feeling of just closing your eyes is absolutely incomparable to the absolute darkness.

Furthermore, it was the weakness caused by being bedridden for three years.

After sleeping for three full years, most of the body's functions were almost useless. He was able to complete rehabilitation training in half a month, which almost amazed the hospital employees.

But even so, at the age of twenty-one, his body seems to have stayed at the age of eighteen when he was in a coma. Apart from growing a head of enviable hair, his beard has not sprouted at all, and his body has no signs of gaining weight or sagging.

, as slim as a little girl, with the same strength and physique, they are also at the level of a little girl.

Finally, there is the loss of interpersonal relationships.

It was impossible for a blind man to lead a family, and his grandfather, who had been so complimentary to him at first, never showed up again after his initial visit.

The woman who unconsciously betrayed and took away her own light was also dead. After learning about the news that a rich girl committed suicide due to guilt three years ago, Xiao Lan remained completely silent.

The people who were originally around him because of jealousy, envy, compliments, disgust, etc., have completely abandoned this financial sponsor in the past three years. The eldest brother who calculated against him does not seem to regard him who is unconscious and blind as a threat, and even treats him as a threat.

The hospital's care arrangements were very thoughtful, fully demonstrating his "family affection".

This was betrayal. Xiao Lan felt that she had simply been abandoned by the world.

The unfamiliar world and the endless loneliness almost drove Xiao Lan crazy. When she woke up, she even had the idea of ​​committing suicide, but she failed due to her excessive physical weakness.

A few days later, he suddenly put the thought of suicide completely behind him because he discovered some abnormalities in his body.

【When God closes a door for you, he will also open a window for you.】

During the period when he lost his light, was in eternal darkness, and was constantly rising and falling in a near-death state, Xiao Lan felt that he seemed to have come into contact with the alaya consciousness mentioned in Buddhism, the collective unconscious of mankind.

In that tranquil lake of the soul, Xiao Lan felt the power that he realized after three years of being with "death", or that he had gained at the cost of light.

There is no such thing as the two rituals where one awakens the evil eye that can kill everything, nor does one become blind like Daredevil and become a superman, gaining the ability to observe the world with hearing and touch. Xiao Lan attributes his abilities to

"Intuition".

It is the signature skill of King Arthur, the protagonist in a story about seven heroic spirits competing for the Holy Grail, which is an almost heaven-defying intuition that can predict the future.

Even without vision, he can still know when to take steps and where to land, he can go up and down stairs by himself, and he can even avoid falling objects from high altitudes that ordinary people can't see or hear... Although he hasn't tried it yet.

Yes, but Xiao Lan believed that he would have no problem dodging ordinary bullets in this state.

However, no matter how strong the effect of intuition is, it cannot make up for the regret of losing light. If it were in ancient times, it would be nothing, but in this modern society with extremely colorful materials, losing light means that he and TV, movies, computers, etc.

Things described with se color are insulated.

But this is not a problem. As long as he can take care of himself, he will definitely find happiness in the future. He has lost the past, so he must seize the future!
