It was unexpected that Gokou Ruri, as a representative of an ordinary human being, possessed quite a few talents.
Although they are all low-level...
But I don't recall this masochistic talent being a feature in the anime...
The Black Cat swallowed hard, its fingers trembling slightly, wanting to click on the talent and see its details.
"I think I'll pass..."
In the end, the will to survive prevailed over curiosity.
Exit the game.
It's time for dinner.
The cooking skills of the Black Cat avatar are not considered special skills, but they should be usable in real life.
Half an hour later.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Su Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie, you can cook?"
"Ahem, of course it will," the Black Cat said matter-of-factly.
After returning to reality, she transformed into Black Cat. Although her original form didn't have any talent for cooking, she managed to prepare a few meals to make ends meet when she was alone.
After turning into Black Cat, its body will instinctively adjust its cooking habits, making the food taste much better.
"Auntie is so amazing!" Su Yu looked at the Black Cat with admiration, then said with some doubt, "Why does Auntie seem to have gotten shorter? And her hair has turned black too?"
"Did Auntie not eat enough? Is that why she shrunk?"
"When did Auntie get a black spot at the corner of her eye?"
Su Yu looked at the Black Cat with a puzzled expression. Her aunt smelled of the familiar shower gel, but her aunt's appearance seemed to have changed.
Su Yu didn't quite understand, or didn't know how to express, the feeling that a familiar person seemed to have changed, so she was full of doubts.
"This is makeup." Black Cat was already prepared to answer outsiders' questions, so she wasn't flustered when Su Yu asked her.
However, Xiao Yu was able to notice that he was only 4cm shorter, which shows that the little guy has a pretty good ability to observe.
Su Yu knew what makeup was, but she was still a little confused. Could makeup change the color of hair?
Despite having many questions, Su Yu was also drawn to the food on the table and quickly buried herself in her rice.
At this moment, the anime program on TV ended, and the evening news began.
The video showed the island nation discharging nuclear wastewater.
"That's really asking for trouble."
The Black Cat chewed on a rib and muttered to itself.
In my past life, I didn't feel anything when I saw this news. After all, as an ordinary person, there wasn't much I could do. At most, I could condemn it online and then go about my life and work.
Unexpectedly, after the game became a reality, the island nation had far more monsters than other countries.
In its previous life, China didn't fare very well, but that island nation almost went extinct.
What is the Meta World?
That was a miracle born from human consciousness, and what humans abhorred must also be abhorred by the Creator God, Yuan Yi.
The island nation's dumping of nuclear wastewater into the sea has sparked global outrage, which in turn affected the Yuan Yi primordial order) and triggered divine retribution.
In addition, a massive amount of negative emotions rushed toward the island nation from all over the world, causing the seven gods to focus their attention on the island nation and continuously send out monsters.
In my previous life, by the time the Yud Bet was about to be launched, the island nation was already in a state of semi-submersion.
"What is courting death?" Su Yu had just lifted her head from her rice bowl, rice grains still stuck to the corner of her mouth, and looked at the Black Cat with clear, inquisitive eyes.
The Black Cat wiped the grains of rice from the corner of her mouth and smiled, "Knowing that doing bad things will have bad consequences, but still continuing to do them, is just courting death."
Su Yu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Just then, Black Cat's phone rang.
The screen displayed a series of numbers, but did not show who the caller was.
Black Cat answered casually, "Hello?"
"Hello, are you a family member of Lin Jing?"
Lin Jing?
It's not time to pay child support yet, why are you calling?
The Black Cat glanced at Su Yu, who was still engrossed in her meal, and replied, "Hmm, who are you?"
"Here's the situation. This is the emergency room at South China Hospital. We regret to inform you that Ms. Lin Jing has been in a car accident. She is bleeding heavily and is unconscious. She is currently receiving emergency treatment. We have made several calls, and you are the only family member of the patient. We hope you can come to the hospital as soon as possible to sign the surgical consent form."
The Black Cat was stunned, its mind almost unable to process what was happening, and asked again, "Where?"
South China Hospital.
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
Strange, this troublemaker in my past life didn't have a car accident at this time, so why did he have one now?
Could it be the butterfly effect?
After canceling her avatar, Su Xi quickly picked up her phone and ID card, looked at Su Yu, and said, "Xiao Yu, stay home obediently. Auntie is going out for a while."
Su Yu: "Okay."
Twenty minutes later.
Lobby of South China Hospital.
Su Xi was about to go to the emergency room when she decided to check on Lin Jing's condition first.
Regardless, she is still Su Yu's mother. If possible, Su Xi wants to sign the consent form to give up treatment.
She doesn't deserve to be Su Yu's mother.
However, a girl in a red dress appeared before me, just like the heart-fluttering moment when we met on the subway. She was so bright and dazzling, so aloof from the world.
Su Xi's gaze involuntarily turned to her, or rather, many eyes in the hospital lobby were on her.
Kurumi waved her hand, signaling Su Xi to follow.
Su Xi did not hesitate, because she knew that this was her future self and would definitely not harm her.
We arrived outside the hospital.
In a secluded corner.
Kurumi pointed to her own appearance, then to Su Xi's face, and mouthed, "Transform into Kurumi."
Su Xi looked around. It was dark at night, and there were plants all around. There were no cameras nearby, so she obediently transformed into Kurumi.
The two stood together like twins.
Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) leaned against the wall, her voice full of seductive charm. "Finally, I can talk to you."
Kurumi (Su Xi) was shocked. "??? The voice came from inside my head?"
Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) smiled sweetly, "Ara, actually, I am not in this time and space, so it is difficult for me to have any influence on this time and space. I can't even speak. But it's different when you become Kurumi. You have the power of time in your body, so I can communicate with you."
Kurumi (Su Xi) calmly said, "I thought you used up your Time Value and disappeared after using [Yud]."
[Yud] (Real-world effect): Teleports the target's past memories.
Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) chuckled, and that alluring laugh sent a chill down Kurumi's (Su Xi's ) spine.
"I've almost used it all up, but there are some things I want to do, so I'm keeping it."
Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) left the wall she was leaning against, came to Kurumi (Su Xi)'s side, hugged her, and then grabbed Kurumi (Su Xi)'s other hand and placed it on her stomach.
Through a layer of clothing.
Kurumi (Su Xi) clearly sensed something was wrong, and immediately pulled away as if it were burning her hand. She pushed Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) away, her expression shocked, her face instantly turning red, and she stammered, "You... you... what is this...?"
Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) didn't explain much, but her eyes were glazed over, her crimson eyes like rare red glass jade, and golden light shimmering in her golden clock-like pupils.
She yawned, her voice filled with tenderness. "Hehe, don't pretend to be innocent. This is the price I paid for falling into the abyss. I'm used to it now. Without it, I would feel uncomfortable."
"I helped you deal with Lin Jing and Wu Zhe, but these two can only be considered the culprits who led us into the abyss. What truly plunged you, no, it hasn't happened to you yet, but rather it is [Joy] that has truly caused me to fall into an abyss of no return. You must be careful of [Joy]."
Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) said meaningfully, "I can't solve [Joy], you have to protect yourself."
