Noss sat leisurely on a small chair, sipping a steaming cup of tea.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he stood up, pushing open the window on the first floor, looking out at the newcomer through the snowstorm.
That young man, all wrapped up in a white robe without showing his face, was immediately recognized by him.
“What are you here for, young man?”
The newcomer was indeed Luo Xi.
At this moment, everything he saw and heard had become real; he could even see the wrinkles on the Rat King’s forehead.
Luo Xi said calmly, “Wei’er has gone missing.”
Noss’s face changed instantly.
“Wei’er is missing? Impossible! Where could she go? What about Aina?”
Luo Xi was also taken aback.
So it wasn’t the Rat King who took Cat Cat away?
Luo Xi shook his head, “I don’t know where Wei’er has gone, she probably disappeared last night, and Aina is still at home.”
“Last night…”
Noss closed his eyes to sense for a moment.
The perception from afar responded to him quickly.
All the lookouts he had placed around were in a state of slumber.
He instantly had an idea.
Only that guy who had an issue with him possessed such abilities and means.
Seeing the Rat King like this, Luo Xi asked, “Wasn’t it you who took Wei’er away?”
The Rat King burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Why would I take Little Wei’er away?”
“Who knows? Maybe you have a special fondness for young girls,” Luo Xi said.
Rat King: “…”
What is this guy talking about?
Don’t assume just because you like young girls that everyone in the world likes them too!
“It wasn’t me who took her.”
The Rat King said with a somber expression, “However, I know who did.”
“Then you can bring her back….”
“I can’t.”
The Rat King lifted the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said, “Now that the guy has chosen to act behind my back, it’s as if we’ve openly split face on the dark side. If I go to him for her now, not only will he deny it, but if I forcefully break through to find her, with his madman-like temperament, he might even decide to kill Little Wei’er ahead of time.”
Kill ahead of time…
Luo Xi sharply caught the word usage.
What exactly do these people want to do?
He suppressed the slightly surging thoughts in his mind and spoke slowly, “Mr. Rat King, the curse I bear, it was you who cast it, wasn’t it?”
The Rat King revealed a grin and said, “Some things, you’re better off playing dumb—you might live a bit longer that way.”
“No worries,” Luo Xi smiled as well and said, “I’ll make sure next time.”
Rat King: “….”
Make sure next time, do you think you’ll have a next time?
A clear hum resonated in the room, and a steel sword suddenly appeared in Noss’s hand.
The Rat King slowly raised the sword, “Since you’ve delivered yourself to my door, then I shall send you to meet the Grim Reaper first. After all, one of the truths of this world is death.”
Luo Xi lifted his head and asked, “I have one last question, can you answer me?”
“Ask.”
“Mr. Rat King, the care you’ve shown towards Wei’er over the years, was it genuine?”
The Rat King threw back his head and laughed, his laughter dissolving into the snowstorm.
“There is no one who wishes more earnestly for that child to grow up healthy and safe than me!”
A gray-green sword light streaked across the sky.
Luo Xi wanted to try to resist, but in an instant, he felt his body lighten.
Then, the consciousness occupying his body swiftly withdrew.
[Ding! Traveler, you have died.]
[Would you like to resurrect at a safe location?]
The gap in strength was too great; at least this Rat King was not an enemy he could confront head-on.
[Ding! Talent: Moonflow·Zero Point has been triggered.]
[Do you choose to rewind to zero o’clock today?]
[Yes]
But, what did it matter if the gap in strength was vast?
If this rewind was real…
[Friendly reminder: Using this Talent, Traveler, your spirit will endure some mental strain during the rewind. Do you wish to proceed?]
[Yes]
When Luo Xi tapped on this ‘Yes’, an intensely brilliant light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
It was a book emitting a rainbow gleam and decorated with countless strange patterns.
Its page, which was already flipping, slowly reversed back into place.
[Ding! Talent: Moonflow·Zero Point has been triggered.]
[Traveler, good luck.]
…..
Luo Xi jolted awake.
Hu—hu—
On the two beds beside him, Chen Yao and Wang Yuanjie’s snores were especially loud.
Next came the pain that originated from the scalp and penetrated the brain.
Painful, painful, painful!
It was as if a needle had been inserted into his brain.
After a while, the pain eased.
Memories flashed through Luo Xi’s mind.
Wei’er had vanished.
He had been killed by the Rat King and then chose to use his Talent to rewind.
The rewind was successful?
Luo Xi fumbled for his phone in the bunk above.
The screen showed it was September 27th, the time was 00:01.
The darkness outside the window suggested it was still deep into the night; no trace of sunlight could be seen through the curtain.
Luo Xi had originally thought that at most, his Talent would rewind the game time to the stroke of midnight; he hadn’t expected it to actually reverse the time in the real world as well.
What kind of mighty power was this?
Luo Xi unlocked his phone and opened “Dawn”.
[Traveler, you’ve returned.]
[You are deep in sleep, do you wish to awaken?]
[Yes]
[Traveler, your spirit has experienced intense confusion. All attributes of your role in the Dream World have decreased by 10% (this negative state cannot be reversed by resurrection, it lasts for 8 hours).]
[Traveler, you climbed out from under the covers, and without a second thought, you rushed straight towards the door.]
[You need to confirm whether Wei’er is still in the bedroom next door.]
[Thump thump thump!]
[“What’s the matter?”]
[“It’s me.”]
Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Cat Cat was still here at this time.
[Squeak—]
[As the door opened and the soft indoor light turned on, Wei’er poked her head through the crack in the door. A few seconds later, the cat-eared girl shouted angrily, “You pervert, running over here to knock on the door without any clothes, what are you up to!”]
[Traveler, only then do you remember that you’re only wearing your underwear.]
[“Um… Luo Xi… brother, is there something you want?” Little Aina’s sleepy voice came from the bedroom.]
[“Aina, don’t look!”]
[Note: Trash Traveler, you’re definitely doing this on purpose, quickly commit seppuku as an apology!]
