"Idiot, Pervert, Shut Up!"

Recalling the voice from his dream in detail, Qin Luming found it somewhat familiar. As he listened to the "piapiapiapiapia" sound of rain by his ears, the female voice he had stored in his memory became clearer.

"Dian Niang, play Rie Kugimiya's audio for me," Qin Luming activated his smart home system.

Much like well-known AIs such as Siri and Cortana, Dian Niang possessed similar functions. Qin Luming didn't use her very often, but she was quite useful when his hands were occupied or he couldn't conveniently reach his phone, such as when showering or cooking and needing to search for something.

Dian Niang wasn't originally named Dian Niang; Qin Luming had simply given her that name as a replacement. After all, the website where he posted his novels was also called Dian Niang, and they hadn't signed a contract with him.

"Baka, hentai, urusai!"

"Baka, hentai, urusai!"

"Baka, hentai, urusai!"

"Stop." Hearing Dian Niang about to endlessly play Rie Kugimiya's signature "triple threat," Qin Luming quickly intervened.

It really did sound a bit like her... Qin Luming recalled again, confirming that it was a girl's voice with a tone similar to Rie Kugimiya's voice acting. However, the difference was the subtle arrogance in its intonation, something difficult for a voice actor to express. The feeling echoing in Qin Luming's mind was as if the method of pronunciation was completely different from that of ordinary humans.

It was just a dream, but it was so vivid and even brought about actual physical sensations and reactions in Qin Luming, which is why he was pondering the issue... Moreover, he had a strong desire to investigate unusual events.

For instance, if an ordinary person saw a white shadow drift by at night, they might be startled and think they saw a ghost, quickly forgetting about it. But Qin Luming was different; he would chase after it to see if it was truly a ghost, because he believed it was entirely possible to encounter something like a ghost with supernatural abilities.

After showering, Qin Luming felt no other unusual sensations. He put on the gloves made of Super Mysterious Metal again and went to the gym for a workout. After confirming his body was normal and there were no lingering symptoms, he finally felt at ease.

Qin Luming walked out of the gym and put away his gloves. He saw that Zuozuo and Caicai had also woken up.

"Brother Qin, you just finished working out? Caicai and I felt warm, so we got up," Zuozuo said, yawning.

"You can't get up on a winter morning," Caicai leaned over, hugged Qin Luming, rested her cheek on his chest, and closed her eyes. "I want to sleep more."

"It's spring now! It's the spring morning that you can't get up," Zuozuo said, seeing Caicai acting cute. Not wanting to be outdone, she also vied for a spot, leaning down and nudging her way into Qin Luming's arms.

Qin Luming had one girl on each side, but he didn't feel any romantic stirrings. Seeing their mischievous behavior always made him feel as if they were his younger sisters, or like he had two daughters? Perhaps it was still different... After all, Qin Luming had neither sisters nor daughters, so he had never experienced these feelings.

Seeing Zuozuo bite Caicai's nose and Caicai reaching into Zuozuo's embrace to twist it hard, Qin Luming quickly separated them. He had something to ask them.

Qin Luming led the two girls to the kitchen. While making breakfast, he told them about the dream he had that morning.

Although the two little girls always gave the impression of being unreliable, they were the people Qin Luming trusted most and the only ones he could consult.

"I had a dream last night too. I dreamed my Optimus Prime toy turned into a mecha, and I controlled it to a world full of spinach. There were spinach people, a spinach palace, spinach forests, and spinach pigs. I got angry when I saw it and used my mecha to destroy the entire world. All the spinach turned into meat," Zuozuo said happily. "I wonder if I'll continue this dream if I fall asleep again."

Caicai's mouth hung open, and she glared at Zuozuo, speechless and angry. How could she destroy all the spinach? But Caicai couldn't fight back against Zuozuo, because things that happened in a dream could only be fought back against in a dream. Caicai had slept soundly last night and hadn't had any dreams.

"You guys, did I have a dream... or like you, did I perhaps travel to another world, and my dream was a kind of summoned sensing?" Qin Luming said with some worry... If he could freely choose to go to another world and return freely, that would be the best. But under these unclear circumstances, suddenly going to an unknown world, Qin Luming didn't have the nerve to accept it so casually.

"Then you have to take us!" Zuozuo said urgently.

"We'll never be separated again!" Caicai's nose twitched.

"We're scared every day after being separated from you!"

"We want to be together forever!"

Seeing the anxious and tense expressions of the two little girls, Qin Luming couldn't help but smile. Although his question remained unanswered.

Qin Luming kissed their foreheads and placed the breakfast in front of them. After receiving Qin Luming's assurance that he would definitely take them if he traveled to another world, Zuozuo and Caicai finally started eating breakfast with peace of mind.

Qin Luming looked at them. Back then, when they were two little girls surviving in another world, even with powerful protection, they must have felt lonely, helpless, uneasy, and terrified many times.

It would be the same if he went to another world alone... Even as an adult, with a more mature and firm mindset, he might feel like he was forcing himself. But if he went with them, the three of them, while still cautiously exploring the strange world, would surely feel much more at ease because of each other's presence.

"But... you're the one summoning someone?" Zuozuo, having read more fantasy novels, was better at grasping the plot elements.

"Yeah, didn't that person say: 'You're summoning my mom?'" Caicai looked at Qin Luming strangely. "Why would you summon his mom?"

Whenever Caicai chimed in, Qin Luming felt the conversation couldn't continue.

"Eat your food," Qin Luming glared at Caicai.

"Oh."

Seeing Caicai's mouth stuffed with food, Qin Luming continued speaking to Zuozuo, who was chugging cola: "Zuozuo, in my dream, the starry sky above my head became an unfathomable abyss at the end of the world. Inside the abyss were countless worlds... I remember the world you transmigrated to, the temple you were in, was also next to an abyss. Could it be the same abyss?"

Zuozuo let out a burp and exhaled carbon dioxide towards Caicai before shaking her head. "It's said that the starry sky of every world is an abyss, so I don't know if it's the same abyss."

"The starry sky of every world is an abyss." Qin Luming looked up at the sky above.
