Watching a Movie

An expensive pink sports car, painted with anime-style graphics, was parked in front of the hospital.

Because of the large number of people here, it's inevitable that everyone's attention will be drawn to this car.

Yu Ze could only try to cover his face as much as possible, and quickly got into the passenger seat after a short run, his face full of disgust.

The driver was Junior Sister from the capital, also from the Capital Investigation Bureau, but even younger, and still a minor.

With his foot on the gas pedal, he skillfully avoided other vehicles on the road using his superb driving technique and dynamic vision, and drove out of Pluto City through a special passage.

The roads outside the city were quite wide and there were very few vehicles. Without the fun of manual driving, the Junior Sister immediately switched to intelligent driving mode, and the rest of the journey was left to the system.

Her and Yu Ze's seats reclined and were incorporated into the chassis area, maximizing the cabin space, and the projection screen also lowered accordingly.

The entire carriage was transformed into a private cinema.

The Junior Sister didn't rush to play anime or a movie. Instead, she took out a bubble tea from the car refrigerator and asked curiously while sipping it:

"Senior brother, how was that guy? Was he terrible? Did he get seriously injured and hospitalized right after a mission? Or did he only escape danger thanks to you?"

"Very strong."

Upon hearing this praise, the Junior Sister felt her ears practically perk up.

"Huh?! Senior brother, I can actually hear you using the word 'very strong' to describe yourself? If you're that strong, why are you lying in the hospital?"

"You've only been here a few days. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything dangerous in this remote area like Pluto City."

"You, a native who has lived in the capital since childhood, obviously don't know about the situation outside. The spread of the virus in the corners can no longer be judged by the old concepts."

The situation is similar across the country, except that it's a bit more complicated in the capital.

What I encountered this time was very unusual. Even if I were to handle it alone, it would take a lot of effort. I suspect that this matter may be related to Pseudo-Human organization, but it has nothing to do with me.

My fellow villager is quite impressive. He's only been a "Connector" for less than three months, yet he's already adept at using basic abilities, and even some derivative abilities that shouldn't be appearing so early.

"Senior brother, what level do you estimate his 'Connecting Worlds' to be?"

"A".

"Ah!!"

The Junior Sister's body trembled, and she almost spat out several pearls.

"Anyway, it's at least an A, but we'll only know the exact level once he goes to the capital."

"Senior brother, what did you base your assessment on? Can you tell me? Is it really that amazing?!"

Yu Ze took out a wrapped talisman from his pocket, which seemed to contain something.

Even though the Junior Sister had carefully removed the talisman, she was still pricked.

Wow!

The intense pain and burning sensation made her scream out loud.

A barbed wire remains inside, and even just touching it can cause several times the pain of being pierced, which cannot be suppressed by the senses.

"This... I've never seen anything like it before. What kind of world is this? Have you ever experienced it, senior brother?"

"No, the only thing I know is that it's not a positive world."

"What is his character like?"

"Extremely hostile to anything related to corners, addicted to killing. On this basis, possesses excellent independent thinking ability, values relationships and cares about teammates."

His Exploration Ability the unknown is currently rated between C and B, but I believe he can still grow further.

My fellow villager still has too many concerns, so it's not suitable for him to go directly to the capital.

We need to give him more personal time; he'll come over when the time is right.

Wow, he's so young. He's only eighteen and he's already like this. I'm suddenly a little afraid he'll steal my thunder when he comes to the capital.

The Junior Sister's eyes widened and seemed to be flashing. "Senior brother, what should we do? I suddenly want to turn the car around and go to the hospital to see that person."

Don't disturb other people's rest.

"Oh~ let's watch anime then, there's a really good new anime series out there."

"Look for yourself, I'm going to take a nap... I'm a little tired."

With a Spirit Calming Talisman affixed to his forehead, Yu Ze fell asleep immediately. No matter how loud the sound was, it wouldn't reach his ears at all, and it even promoted rapid brain recovery and prolonged deep sleep.

The Junior Sister stuck out her tongue and finally chose an animated film with a sheep theme.

A week has passed.

Luo Di was discharged from the hospital at 6 p. m., and his report to the Investigation Bureau will be scheduled for tomorrow.

He has other plans for tonight.

Luo Di and Anna arrived at the commercial street of Pluto City and split up to order food at different restaurants. They packed the food in temperature-controlled takeout boxes, seemingly preparing to take it home to eat.

Buy a small portion of all kinds of pizzas, baked eggs, fried rice balls, Meatball, seafood pasta, and other snacks.

Then, after much difficulty, we finally found a rare Image Store.

Because of his experience with this incident, Luo Di came here specifically to buy genuine DVDs, and quickly found the so-called "Saw series" in the classic film section.

"Luo Di, I feel like you should just watch the first two movies. The later sequels seem to have gone astray, and the overall style has become a blood movie."

"Then we definitely need to watch it."

Luo Di simply put all 1-10 episodes into his shopping basket, not caring about the price, and not caring if he spent all the money he had on him.

As long as we wait until tomorrow to settle the accounts with the Investigation Bureau, the amount of money will not be less.

On their way back to Chinatown, the two grabbed a large barbecue downstairs and carried all the takeout and DVDs back to their familiar studio apartment.

Close the door and draw the curtain.

It would be even better if we had Yu Ze's talisman, but it doesn't matter. Luo Di's tongue will also sense any ill-intentioned activity from outside.

"Anna, I'm going to take a shower. Remember to wait for me to watch it together."

"Don't worry! I promise the food won't be opened before you come out, even though I'm a little hungry."

Luo Di, who was just discharged from the hospital today after his cast was removed, still smells bad all over, so a shower is a must.

Take off all your clothes.

Standing in front of the mirror,

I re-examined my body, especially turning to observe my spine. The spine, hidden beneath the skin, was very quiet, as if it were asleep.

Recalling the spinal surgery he had received at the nursing home, Luo Di's lips twitched slightly; that feeling was truly amazing.

"It seems I'll have to make time to go to the Fifth Hospital again. I need to discuss the spinal surgery with Mr. Hook in detail."

The pain I learned from him has indeed improved my physical endurance and effectively extended the time for spinal manipulation. I will try to spend more time practicing in this area in the future.

Moreover, Mr. Hook also said that once I complete the spinal surgery, I will be able to actively connect with hell, but so far, I have not shown any signs of being able to connect.

Or is there something wrong with my spinal surgery? Is my spine not fully developed yet?

"Alright, let's leave it at that for tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

As Luo Di walked toward the shower, he also took the opportunity to observe the bathroom through the mirror. After confirming that he was alone, he began to shower.

Because he was in a hurry to watch the movie and his mind was full of other things, Luo Di suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to change his clothes while he was washing.

But when he pushed open the glass door of the shower room, a brand new set of clothes was already folded on the toilet seat.

As soon as I opened the bathroom door, the sound of the television came through.

Luo Di strongly disliked others seeing the movie before him, and he absolutely could not miss even the opening credits of the Movie Company; in his view, this was the most basic respect for a film.

At the same time, the aroma of food wafted over, suggesting that even the takeout orders had been opened in advance.

Just as Luo Di frowned, preparing to question Anna about what had happened,

But they found two people already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The spot where Luo Di used to keep his tissues was now occupied by a "second person," dressed in an oversized men's t-shirt and athletic shorts— Luo Di's clothes, to be precise.

He was holding some kebabs he'd bought downstairs, munching on grilled ribs while chatting happily with Anna.

When Luo Di walked into the living room

Anna kept giving hints with her eyes and fingers, indicating that all of this was at the request of the woman beside her and had nothing to do with her.

Luo Di just smiled helplessly.

Instead of rewinding the movie to the beginning, he sat down next to the girl and focused intently on the movie that had just started.

Sudden,

A piece of pork rib, carefully removed from the skewer, was gently held between two fingers and brought to his mouth.

But Luo Di seemed to be captivated by the beginning and showed no sign of opening his mouth.

"Hey! You're still the same as always... Hurry up and open your mouth, my hand is tired from holding it up."

"Um."
