Chapter 1：At the beginning, disaster was averted.
"I am John Johnson, the younger brother of my brother."
"I came here today just to see how long I can live."
In front of the Divination Stall in the alley, a young man in ordinary clothes despondently spoke to the Fortune Teller in front of him.
Next to him was a flag that read: "Calculating all matters in the world, understanding the blessings and misfortunes."
The Fortune Teller looked at the young man in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.
"Young man, I see a flash of white light at the bottom of your right eye, not looking away. It must be God's favor. Within three days, you will encounter a great opportunity."
The Fortune Teller said solemnly, "Young man, you are about to rise. Why ask about life and death?"
"Sir, that's a fake eye of mine."
John Johnson sighed lightly, then skillfully squeezed his eye socket, and with a gulp, his right eyeball dropped into his palm, leaving only a creepy black hole in the eye socket.
"See." The young man extended his hand.
"Why is it like this."
The Fortune Teller's body trembled, "No wonder you don't look away, it turns out to be plastic..."
John Johnson helplessly said, "Although what you said is completely unreliable, I'll just take it as a lucky word."
John Johnson only had one good eye.
Three years ago, he was being heroic in a bar, trying to save a girl surrounded by thugs, and got stabbed directly in the right eye with a broken bottle.
The eyeball was directly removed.
Since then, he had been wearing a fake eye.
But good deeds do not go unpunished.
This morning, the hospital gave the results that the eye injury had caused sympathetic ophthalmia, with most of the nerves dying off over the years, and now it was even affecting the good eye.
The doctor said, at least one year, at most three years, John Johnson's other eye would also go blind.
There was no cure.
"With such a rough fate, turning blind at such a young age, it would be better to die."
John Johnson chuckled self-deprecatingly, rubbed his temples, and skillfully inserted the fake eye back into the eye socket.
But he did not notice that in the already in-place fake eye, a fine electric current suddenly flickered!
Walking out of the dark alley, the street in front was bustling with activity.
Street vendors were calling out, and pedestrians were bustling.
Just as John Johnson sighed at the cruelty of the world, a sharp pain suddenly came from his right eye!
It felt like countless tentacles were extending from the back of the fake eye, ruthlessly drilling into his brain along the eye socket!
"Self-evolution complete, starting to integrate with brain nerves."
John Johnson closed his eyes in pain, staggered, and sat on a bench by the street.
After a long struggle against the excruciating pain akin to brain shattering, John Johnson opened his eyes again.
Everything had turned upside down!
In his field of vision, the scenery on the street remained the same.
But there were countless blue codes flying in between heaven and earth, followed by all the objects clearly marked with various data!
The world in his eyes was grand and magnificent, with blue branches densely packed.
The speed of cars, the height of buildings, the weight and height of pedestrians, the speed of the wind, the number of leaves on the trees, everything was there, as if a storm of numbers had been conjured out of thin air.
"Hehe, hello, John Johnson!"
Suddenly, a young boy's voice rang in John Johnson's mind, crisp and ethereal.
"I am the supercomputer in your right eye, now fused with your brain nerves, becoming the only artificial intelligence in the world that can think independently."
"I even gave myself a name - Magic Eye!"
The contrast between this information and the cute voice of the little boy in his mind left John Johnson stunned on the spot!
"What's happening?"
Just as John Johnson was coming to his senses, a red halo suddenly appeared in his field of vision, directly locking onto a red-skirted beauty not far away.
"John Johnson, there's no time to explain now. In 2 minutes and 50 seconds, this girl will have her brain splattered!"
The voice of the little boy in his mind came again, "John Johnson, pick up the apple on the stall next to you!"
"Brain splattered? An apple? What are you talking about?"
John Johnson was taken aback, the beautiful girl about ten meters away was walking elegantly on the roadside, wearing a bright red skirt, with a graceful figure, truly the most beautiful scenery on this street.
There were no signs of danger at all!
"Let me calculate for you!"
As soon as Magic Eye's voice fell, a halo appeared again in John Johnson's field of vision, locking onto a green apple on the fruit stall beside him.
The inadvertent touch of the vendor made the apple start rolling and it directly fell to the ground along the stall.
As a passerby happened to pass by, he smiled slightly and kindly helped the vendor pick up the apple.
In the moment the old man bent down, the Parker pen on his chest fell to the ground.
Rolling...
The pen rolled 1.5 meters and stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.
30 seconds later, a young man rode a mountain bike past, and the front wheel happened to run over the pen.
The front wheel of the bicycle slipped, the young man lost control, and fell on the side of the road.
Screech...
A piercing brake sound came, a small car speeding at 70 km/h, in order to avoid the young man on the bike, suddenly swerved the steering wheel!
The speeding car lost control after the sudden turn and directly rushed towards the red-skirted beauty on the roadside!
Bang!
The red-skirted beauty had no time to react, she was heavily hit by the car, her body flew high, and when she landed, her forehead hit the curb directly!
Ah!
The terrified screams of pedestrians rang out, the street was in chaos!
The old man who picked up the apple still held the green apple in his hand, and the young man on the bike had just gotten up.
The hood of the speeding car deformed, emitting thick white smoke.
The red-skirted beauty's brain splattered, and she died on the spot!
This...
John Johnson's hair stood on end in an instant!
The next moment.
Ripples appeared in John Johnson's field of vision.
The scene slowly faded into a string of digital codes and dissipated with a bang.
Everything returned to reality.
The green apple was right in John Johnson's hand, the old man was leisurely walking over, and the silver pen cap on his chest reflected a flickering light.
The red-skirted beauty was still walking with her chin up.
The young man on the bicycle was still ten meters away.
In the upper corner of the video, a countdown showed: 1 minute and 40 seconds.
"Is this real?"
John Johnson was dazed.
"Just now, I simulated a virtual scene based on the real situation. Only you can save that girl!" Magic Eye's voice interrupted John Johnson's daze.
The apple had already started rolling!
Without hesitation, John Johnson reached out and firmly grasped the green apple!
Next, the pen-wielding old man and the cyclist passed by John Johnson safely.
The speeding car roared through the street and left.
Everything was normal, people were unaware.
No accident!
No death!
The street was like any other morning, bustling and calm!
John Johnson stared fixedly at the unharmed red-skirted beauty, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
The red-skirted beauty noticed John Johnson's gaze and frowned, "Ugh, pervert!"
Crack.
John Johnson, in a daze, took a bite of the apple in his hand.
The sourness in his mouth told him that all of this was real!
