City B, a mid-level city. Guangming Hospital, the setting sun casts its afterglow outside the window, illuminating a private hospital room where Lin Feng lies quietly. His entire body is bandaged except for his right hand and face, resembling a mummy.
It is all white again, but this white is different from the pure white of before. When Lin Feng opens his eyes, he smells the distinct scent of disinfectant typical of hospitals and sees the red "cross" on the wall. Lin Feng realizes he is in the hospital.
Recalling his recent experiences, Lin Feng does not feel any different physically. He touches his forehead with his only usable right hand and wipes away the cold sweat, saying to himself, "Huh... so it was just a dream!"
However, just as Lin Feng is about to put his hand back down, he sees the ring from his "dream." It is an ordinary-looking ring, at least in terms of appearance.
Could it be that this isn't a dream? Is it really an out-of-body experience? Lin Feng begins to doubt.
Looking at his mummy-like state, Lin Feng feels increasingly bewildered. How did he end up in the hospital when he was just sleeping comfortably in his own bed? When did he sustain such serious injuries?
He has no idea who brought him to the hospital. With nothing else to do, Lin Feng starts examining the ring; his curiosity is quite strong.
Two hours later, through continuous experimentation, Lin Feng finally learns to use his mental power to control the ring, figuring out how to store and retrieve items from it.
"Spatial Ring," this is the first thought that comes to Lin Feng's mind after countless attempts to store and retrieve items from his hospital bed. After all, during his time in the military, he had secretly read a fantasy novel where such spatial rings were common knowledge.
Through numerous experiments, Lin Feng discovers that this ring has a capacity of about one cubic meter. Moreover, he doesn't need to make direct contact with items to store them; as long as they are within one meter of the ring's surroundings, he can store them. This means that as long as Lin Feng wears this ring, he has an absolute domain with a radius of one meter centered around his finger.
Additionally, after he first stored something inside it, the Spatial Ring became invisible. From the outside, it appears that he is not wearing any ring at all. This is a very user-friendly feature. Before leaving, Lin Feng seems to recall an alien mentioning something about a magic ring; it seems there was truth in those words.
Having learned all this, Lin Feng nearly jumps up in excitement but restrains himself due to his mummy-like condition. He slowly processes all these extraordinary occurrences.
"Huh... feeling good, Earthling?" A somewhat effeminate voice enters Lin Feng's ears, though he cannot see its owner.
Instinctively looking around him, Lin Feng does not see anyone who might belong to that voice.
"Kid, no need to look anymore, I'm right inside the Magic Ring. Hehe... finally out of that annoying space, and now the Walker Star headquarters can't do anything about me." The effeminate voice seemed to guess Lin Feng's current actions, reminding him while expressing a sense of nostalgia.
Huh? Inside the Magic Ring? Lin Feng suddenly recalled what the Walker Alien had said before he entered the Spatial Turbulence. At that time, he hadn't paid much attention, but he vaguely knew that this Magic Ring was imprisoning a Walker Alien.
"Are you that Lavokian?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.
"You don't need to speak to communicate with me; just use your Mental Power to enter the Magic Ring. Hurry up and come in; the great Tesla prefers face-to-face conversations." The voice, claiming to be Tesla, continued to resonate in Lin Feng's mind, clearly laced with arrogance.
As a wanted criminal by the Walker Star headquarters, his life-restoring medical skills indeed gave him the confidence to be arrogant.
"Hehe... Tesla, whether you like it or not, you'll have to get used to it. Coincidentally, I'm quite the opposite; I don't like talking face-to-face with someone so full of themselves." Lin Feng was not an easy person to deal with. After ten years of living recklessly, he was no longer that submissive young student.
"You..." Tesla was momentarily taken aback by Lin Feng's words. Indeed, despite being a prisoner, no one dared to speak to him like that—not even the person sent to capture him back to Walker Star.
"Hehe... how's that?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Kid, I must say, your temperament is somewhat similar to mine. Hehe... now, if you come in, I can tell you everything about the Magic Ring; there are some good things hidden inside." Tesla was still quite pragmatic; he knew this wasn't Walker Star and that this Earth kid had no idea of his reputation.
"Hehe... that's more like it." Lin Feng wasn't foolish; since the other party was taking a step back, he would follow suit. After all, he wanted to learn something from Tesla as well. He just didn't want to lose face in their exchange—after all, Tesla was a wanted criminal by Walker Star; if he didn't push back a little, it would be outrageous.
"Kid, your Mental Power has been enhanced tenfold compared to an ordinary person's. Unfortunately, it's still far too lacking compared to mine; there's no comparison. However, you could try letting me out. I won't mistreat you..." Seeing Lin Feng enter, Tesla abandoned his initial plan of being forceful and instead opted for persuasion. It must be said that Walker Aliens had a comprehensive understanding of Earthlings.
Of course, this so-called comprehensive understanding referred to general people. For Lin Feng, who at that moment had no aspirations for life, it had no effect whatsoever. Firstly, he had nothing to gain; even if he did have something valuable, he wouldn't use releasing Tesla as a bargaining chip—after all, he was an alien criminal. What if releasing him harmed humanity? Lin Feng would never do something that endangered humanity.
"Hehe... as for you, if you want to leave, you can do so on your own..." Lin Feng quickly realized that it was impossible for Tesla to leave the Magic Ring by himself; that's why he sought help from him and teased him aloud.
"You..." The great Lord Tesla was once again rendered speechless by Lin Feng, feeling quite troubled by the situation.
"Heh heh... Even if you want to let me out now, I won't come out. And with your current Mental Power, it's a miracle if you could manage it. I see you, young man, seem to have lost all hope in life. Were you abandoned by a woman?" Since he couldn't sway Lin Feng, Tesla naturally abandoned that approach. Moreover, as he said, Lin Feng's Mental Power might not be enough to free him.
"Boom..." A nerve in Lin Feng was triggered by Tesla's words, and a cold glint shot from his eyes towards Tesla, his slightly blood-red gaze fixed on him. That girl was an eternal pain in his heart.
"Heh heh... You don't need to glare at me. And as far as I know, if you entered the Spatial Turbulence, it might have caused a change in time, meaning you could have gone back to the past." Lin Feng's glare was ineffective against Tesla; at this moment, he dropped another bombshell: Lin Feng might have been reborn!
"Boom..." Lin Feng was once again shaken. Reborn? This was something he had fantasized about during his lowest moments when he drowned himself in alcohol, but it had only ever been a fantasy. He never expected it might actually be happening now.
Ignoring Tesla, Lin Feng withdrew his Mental Power and desperately searched for a way to check the current time—specifically, the date.
Finally, Lin Feng spotted a calendar on the white wall, which clearly read October 25, 2000. Lin Feng knew very well that this was the day after his car accident ten years ago...
A thought surfaced in Lin Feng's mind: I have been reborn.
Lin Feng truly had been reborn; it was precisely because he had recklessly squeezed into a Spatial Turbulence that he returned to the day after his car accident ten years ago.
That is, October 25, 2000!
Damn it, this world is too crazy! Lin Feng couldn't help but let out an excited curse!
