Common Sense Hijack System-Chapter 27
Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Karl slithered out of his swanky apartment.
Karl strolled casually in the apartment lobby, catching sight of Julia standing near the door, looking all busy chatting away on her cell.
She had on a simple yet elegant summer dress, with a large suitcase by her side.
"Where's she off to?" Karl wondered, "This is gonna be so weird. Julia might have forgotten when I squeezed her boobs and rubbed my dick on her butt, but I still vividly remember."
Karl felt his dick getting hard again, after reminiscing about the glorious experience he felt before.
Suddenly, the system gave a more bizarre explanation, making Karl feel even weirder.
[ The events from yesterday's quest have not only been forgotten, but have also been replaced ]
"What? Replaced? What does that mean?"
[ Replaced by the universe, the universe won't leave any gaps in the memories of those affected by the Hijack. The universe will automatically fill in the void in their memory with events determined by the will of the universe ]
"Well, what event replaced the boob-squeezing moment with Julia?"
[ System can't access that information, System can't access the universe's secret data. ]
"Shit, so what will Julia remember from that time?" Karl muttered. "Ah, better just go greet her."
Karl approached Julia, feeling no awkwardness this time, unlike the first time he went up to her.
This time he felt more confident, because the two soft cushions of Julia's that he once squeezed until his dick was uncontrollably hard, Karl feels more like an alpha.
"Hey, Julia. Where are you going?" he greeted, sounding chill as if this meeting was merely a coincidence.
Julia turned, slightly surprised to see Karl. "Oh, Karl. My husband and I are taking a short vacation. We're going out of town for a week," she replied with a thin smile, her tone friendly yet distant.
Karl raised his eyebrows, a hint of disappointment creeping in. "Wow, that sounds exciting. Been planning this for a while, huh?"
"Yeah, my husband finally got some time off. So, yeah, we decided to take a short break," Julia said, ending the call and tucking her phone into her bag.
Karl pondered for a moment, racking his brain to find something to say to keep Julia there longer. "Well, be careful on the road. Don't miss your flight, haha," he joked.
Julia chuckled, "Don't worry, we're all set. I have to go now, Karl. See you later."
Julia's husband seemed ready and stepped out of the apartment door, "Oh, Hi Karl. How's my advice from yesterday?"
"Advice?" Karl frowned, then muttered to himself, "What's this ugly bastard talking about."
"Ahha... you forgot? Yesterday you asked Julia about my job, right? You're want to get serious in your life and start a new career, right?"
Karl smiled thinly, "Y.. yeah. Ahhaha.."
Karl finally understood what the system meant, the moment he squeezed Julia's boobs had been altered by the universe, replaced with a moment Karl himself didn't know.
Like a double-edged sword, this both benefited and disadvantaged Karl.
On one hand, he could remember the true events that had happened, on the other hand, Karl didn't know what memories others possessed.
Julia giggled, "No need to be shy, Karl, you're a good young man. You work to support your younger sibling's education, right?"
Karl smiled thinly and muttered to himself, "Holy shit! There's no way my life story is that cool, my salary is even very minimal."
Julia's husband patted Karl's shoulder, "It's okay, Karl. You've shared about the struggles in your life. Don't listen to the quotes on social media that say 'Men don't talk.' You're a great young man."
Karl wanted to explode and curse, feeling cringe because his life story had become a sad tale fabricated for the sake of pity and recognition.
Karl could only nod, trying to hold back his true feelings.
Julia and her husband say goodbye.
Karl could only watch as Julia walked away and was warmly embraced by her husband, the two of them laughing together in front of the pervert dude who had been eyeing someone else's wife and want to bang her hard.
"Damn.. I wanna cook and just end up feeling like a cuck."
As Julia waved goodbye and walked away, Karl felt a slight pang of dissatisfaction creeping into his chest.
"I failed to make an adult video with her," he muttered softly, then turned back to his apartment with his hands in his pockets.
Karl walked back to his apartment with a blank expression.
Karl's encounter with Julia and her husband might have been short, but he could feel a sense of weakness and a disgusting sensation like being a cuckold.
As he returned to his apartment, he checked his phone.
Ping..
The sound of a notification indicating a new message rang.
Karl saw the incoming message from Zoey.
Karl thank you for listening to me yesterday, even though you're a beta male, I didn't expect you to make me feel better.
"Bitch.. what memory replaced the blowjob moment? Damn... how could I be willing to comfort that dirty woman!"
Karl replied to Zoey's message,
Hahha.. It's not a big deal.
Zoey replied again,
Karl, Adam is getting angrier with me. He's accusing me of giving another guy a blowjob, when yesterday I just visited your apartment.
Karl chuckled, "Hahha... thinking about the whole From Thug to Cuck moment yesterday totally lifted my mood."
Karl typed out a reply to Zoey.
I don't know Zoey, I don't want to get involved in other people's relationships too much, i just help you before.
Karl chucks his phone and flops down, "Damn, what on earth is that bitch remembering, huh?"
In his head, Karl's all like, "Hmm.. will Adam be suspicious about me?"
