[It would be better to let all this be just a dream. ]
[Anyway, you would only abandon your wife and children to play house games like ruling unless you are crazy or out of your mind. ]
[I feel it would be better to just put on the purple robe and go to the headquarters of destiny. 】
[After strongly rejecting the idea of returning to the place you were at the beginning before traveling through time, you did not act rashly to return to the original world or any of the previously simulated parallel worlds.]
[While “breaking the simulation ahead of time” is an achievement, it’s no joke.]
[Before making a decision, you should be more cautious and find out everything first. ]
[So how do you find out? ]
【Perhaps, you have a perfect candidate. 】
night.
Siberian plains, luxurious villa.
In the bedroom, Lu Mian lay flat on the soft and comfortable big bed with his head in his arms, but he was not sleepy at all.
He turned his eyes to stare quietly at the clean night sky outside the window that was swept by the snow wind, the vast stars dotted in the night sky, and the gorgeous aurora that could only be seen in a corner.
After a while, he suddenly said:
"System, you haven't slept either?"
"Yeah, I usually don't go to bed so early. Normally, I should watch you, the host, when you fall asleep - host, are you suffering from insomnia?" After a while, the system's sweet response sounded.
Lu Mian chuckled and did not respond to the system's question. Instead, he asked another new question:
"You also know that I have been researching the magic book that can travel through time and space for some time. What kind of result will the behavior of completing or 'breaking' the simulation ahead of time bring?"
This time, the system did not respond.
From the faint sound of turning pages and the sudden cessation of her gentle breathing, one could tell that she was indeed sweating profusely.
Although he had long known that the system was not necessarily reliable in most cases, after experiencing the current scene personally, Lu Mian suddenly smiled with relief.
What kind of classic innocent and naive system is this?
Do you have such a system?
This is really a complete system.
Forget it, let's just live our lives, there's no way we can get divorced......
After a long while, the system, which had obviously found the information it wanted by flipping through the book, deliberately cleared its throat and began to read in a foolish and intelligent manner:
"Hmm - Host, the situation you are asking about is not without precedent. There is a similar case in the white paper.
"Though you won't get too many system points and rewards if you end the simulation early and return to the native world through special methods like this, you can take away all the talents in the simulation world."
This answer really brightened Lu Mian's eyes.
You know, the magic cat's excellent auxiliary ability and the ability to travel through time and space at will to teleport in the world are more tempting than the still abundant points and the still unknown rewards.
However, he was not too excited. After a moment's silence, he asked the next question he wanted to ask, "So after ending the simulation early, will I return to my previous body, or return to that world as a cat?"
[The system's answer will directly determine whether you will execute the plan to end the simulation early.]
[Although you will be more willing to experience the life of a magic cat because of the novelty, this does not mean that you are really willing to live as a magic cat forever in the future. ]
[Besides, changing bodies is a bit disgusting to be honest. ]
[You personally are very opposed to this kind of behavior.]
【If it is not absolutely necessary, it is best not to let this disgusting situation happen to you. 】
In response to Lu Mian's question, the system also put down the airs it had previously put on to ease the embarrassment.
The voice was sweet and gentle, and she explained patiently:
"Don't worry about that. After the simulation ends early, this system will perform delicate micro-manipulations for you, the host, to ensure that this simulation is no different from the previous one.
"As for the magic cat's abilities, they will be inherited and transferred to you in the original world.
"And even if you take a step back, even if you return to the original world as a cat, it won't have any impact. Because apart from your talents and subtle states, your body and soul are exactly the same inside and outside the simulation.
"Under such circumstances, if the two appeared in the same world, they would just be like indistinguishable shadows superimposed on each other. There would be no such strange concept as 'exchanging bodies'."
After listening to the system's careful explanation, Lu Mian nodded, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
Putting aside the physical problems that he no longer had to worry about, the information revealed in these words was enough for him to savor.
After all, he had always felt that simulation was more like traveling to a new world with a previous identity and then writing a new story, rather than living in a new world with a new identity.
Although there is not much difference between the two when listening carefully, there is a world of difference in actual situation.
After temporarily suppressing his thoughts on the nature of the simulation, Lu Mian asked the last and most important question:
"Then let me ask one last question. If I inherit the talent in this simulation, will the talent that makes people rebellious also be inherited by me?"
This question is indeed the most important.
After all, one careless move could easily cause chaos at St. Freya Academy.
Considering Theresa's blood pressure problem, since she lost her grandfather but unexpectedly gained a "grandmother" and did not grow much, I decided to ask her in detail.
As for Lu Mian's last and most important question, the system was unusually confident.
"Host, don't worry about this. I will help you reject this bad talent!" She made the promise with a little pride in her tone, and it seemed like she was patting her chest.
"Is that so?" Lu Mian murmured softly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a joyful smile.
Now all kinds of "mines" have been eliminated.
The plan to end the simulation early was also unveiled, revealing its true face - it was probably a good deal that was sure to make money and had a high probability of not suffering a loss.
It's not just at the level of "you can do it", but at the level of "if you come across it, you must not miss it".
"Okay, I've asked all my questions. I have to say, our system is really reliable!" Lu Mian put away his complicated thoughts and spoke slowly.
In return, the system gave a slightly silly and innocent laugh:
"Hehehe, I'm not as amazing as you say, host. I'm just, I guess I'm about 90% amazing.
"So, host, are you going to sleep now?"
"Well, good night," Lu Mian gently closed his eyes, but soon opened them again, "From what I heard, system, you're still not asleep?"
"Well, I want to see you, the host, sleeping for a while longer." The system responded with an awkward voice.
Lu Mian: 0_0?
Chapter 9: Xilin Doesn't Want to Be Cheated (Two in One)
[After thoroughly understanding the relevant matters and points that must be paid attention to in ending the simulation early, you did not take action. ]
[It is not difficult to leave this world using the magic book, and it is not a challenge to leave with your family. 】
【but......】
[What if there is someone in your family who is still unsure whether to leave this world with you? ]
[Yes, that person is Xilin. ]
[In your opinion, there is a high probability that Xilin will not listen to you and leave this world with you. ]
[However, given her stubborn character and her inexplicable rebellious mentality of "going east but going west", it is difficult to persuade her. ]
【Therefore, everything needs to be considered in the long run. 】
【...】
[Time passed slowly again and again, day and night, and in the blink of an eye, another whole year had passed. ]
【After running away from home for two years, Xilin finally returned home. 】
[At this time, she already had a very resounding name in the outside world: the messenger of justice - Kira. ]
【Um? 】
【Kira?】
[This nickname can't help but remind you of an anime called "Death Note" that you watched before. ]
[The protagonist of that anime, "Light Yagami", also has the nickname Kira. 】
[Thinking back to Xilin's various actions in the past two years, such as being public-spirited and righteous, punishing evil and promoting good, tsk. ]
[You really went to pick up the Death Note, right? ]
[Oh no, I feel like I’m about to start the “40-second hold-laugh challenge”. ]
[How can they be so similar? ]
[The Herrscher of the Void? ]
[Magical girl?]
【Kami! 】
[Let’s not talk about anything else for now. The ending of Kira, who you know as Kami, was not very good. ]
【For the sake of the children, perhaps we should make plans early. 】
[Thinking in this way, you gradually feel a mixture of indescribable emotions in your heart. ]
[Compared to your complicated feelings, Xilin, who saw you again, is not feeling much better at this moment. ]
[It's not because I didn't recognize who you are after you transformed from a magic cat into a human. 】
[On the contrary, it is precisely because I recognized it—to the point where it couldn’t be clearer.]
【It is this kind of change and contrast that is hard to accept. 】
early morning.
Siberian plains, villa, living room.
Just like when they parted, Xilin and Lu Mian sat at opposite ends of the sofa, and the news broadcast on TV about the drastic drop in crime rates around the world seemed to echo the past.
However, the current state of mind of both of them is different from before.
Silin, who has grown two years older and completely shed her youthfulness, has blossomed into the beauty that a young girl should have. She is still wearing the same magical girl uniform, with only slight modifications.
At this moment, the girl sitting on the sofa with her knees crossed turned her head away, ignoring the TV broadcast of her unique achievements and recognition. Instead, she stared at the profile of the man not far away, as if she could see something.
Putting aside the subtle connection between the magical girl and the magical cat, no matter how "rebellious" Silin is, she will not be unable to recognize her family.
As a result, naturally, no unpleasant misunderstandings or anything similar occurred.
She behaved like this simply because she didn't understand.
Xilin couldn't understand why such big changes happened in her family in just two years when she was away.
It's even more outrageous than if dad suddenly became mom.
Where is her mature, handsome and at the same time "dignified" magical cat elder?
How did he suddenly become a living person?
It's handsome, but that's not the point, right?!
And...why does this face look so familiar?
Suppressing the questions that popped up in her mind one after another, and at the same time curbing the unbearable desire to complain, Xilin shook her head and asked in a confused tone that even she herself could not explain:
"Mian, weren't you still a magic cat when I left? How come you can suddenly become a human in just two years?
"And didn't you tell me that you couldn't turn into a human? How come you can suddenly turn into one now? Did you lie to me?"
There were doubts and questions in the words, but no ill will.
[Because of some experiences in the previous life, Xilin in the previous life hated and deeply despised humans from the bottom of her heart. ]
[Even after she died and came back to this world, this hatred and disgust could not disappear from her heart. ]
【But, that won’t happen anymore.】
[With the company and care of you, Meia, Bella, Agatha, Aurora, and Galina, she is no longer the same person she used to be. She will even try to help kind people live better within her ability.]
[The hatred and disgust towards humans has also been narrowed down to hatred and disgust towards bad people.]
