Juxia City Police Station
"Hehehe~" Our policewoman, Qilin, was in a good mood as she walked into the Police Department, humming a little tune.
For Qilin, who loved police work, every day was a beautiful day.
Of course, she'd be even happier if there were fewer crimes.
Just as Qilin was sorting through some documents, her hand suddenly paused.
Something strange seemed to have been mixed into the middle of the folder.
"Hmm? What's this?" Qilin reached out and pulled it from the folder.
It was an old-fashioned diary, with the words [Su Bai's Diary (Qilin Copy)] written on the cover.
Qilin's eyes were full of curiosity, and she felt an urge to flip through it.
After all... other people's diaries were very tempting.
But her professional integrity as a police officer, along with her good character, kept her from doing so.
Still...
"Why is my name on it? And who's this Su Bai?"
She searched through her memories, but didn't seem to know anyone by that name.
The diary with her name on it only made her more curious.
But her professional integrity and her own good nature kept her outstretched hand from moving any farther.
Damn it!
Two tiny Qilins appeared on either side of Qilin's head.
The Qilin on the left held a red devil's trident. Tiny devil horns grew from her head, and she had a pair of black wings and a little black tail with a heart-shaped tip.
She leaned close to Qilin's ear and whispered temptingly. Well, when a devil spoke softly, that was a devil's whisper.
"Go on, take a look. It's a diary! Who writes a diary unless they want someone to read it?"
Hearing the little devil Qilin's whisper, Qilin's heart began to race. Her curiosity was almost impossible to suppress. Her hand moved closer, touching the diary's cover. She was just about to open it.
But then—
An angel Qilin appeared on the right side of Qilin's head, a halo above her head and a pair of white wings on her back. She hurriedly flew to Qilin's hand and waved both arms.
"No, Qilin!" The angel Qilin looked frantic.
"This is an invasion of someone else's privacy! How can a righteous police officer with such good character do something like this? Take your hand aw—"
Before the angel Qilin could finish, a red devil's trident stabbed her, and she vanished.
The devil Qilin's lips curled into a faint smile as she said to Qilin,
"But the diary has your name on it, doesn't it?"
"Come on... reach out your hand."
In the end, Qilin still didn't open the diary.
Don't get the wrong idea. It wasn't because she'd steeled her resolve.
It was simply because the diary had opened by itself.
Qilin's face flashed with alarm, but she quickly composed herself and murmured,
"It opened by itself. He must want me to read it."
But... why had the diary opened on its own? Could it be some kind of sophisticated technology?
A similar, yet different, scene was unfolding elsewhere in Juxia City, and in the Angel Nebula...
[My name is Su Bai, and I'm a transmigrator.]
!!!
Qilin's eyes widened as soon as she read the first sentence, but she quickly calmed down.
Phew, that nearly scared me. The diary's owner was probably just an edgy teenager.
Qilin collected herself and continued reading.
[But what's a transmigrator?]
Huh? You don't know, but you still called yourself one? And anyone who's read a novel or knows anything about them should know what a transmigrator is, right?
Qilin really wanted to make fun of him, but held back for the moment and continued reading.
[Xiao Xue said that transmigrators generally meant people who crossed over from the real world into novels, comics, TV shows, or movies—people who crossed from one dimension or world into another.]
[Hmm... Xiao Xue is a white ball of fluff. She says she's a system.]
Qilin's expression grew even stranger as she read.
Uh, this edgy teenager's setup was... well... pretty unusual.
Inside a cramped, run-down rental room,
Rui Mengmeng blinked her large, glistening eyes.
Her eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration.
A transmigrator... a system... Th-that's amazing.
Rui Mengmeng didn't suspect that the diary's owner was just an edgy teenager.
Well... she clearly remembered that her desk had been empty, but after she blinked, the diary had suddenly appeared there.
As for who might have been playing a prank...
Rui Mengmeng didn't think anyone would play a prank on someone like her.
[Xiao Xue said that because it was her first time, she failed to protect the source of my soul while we were transmigrating, and it was damaged.]
[She said she was very sorry, and that it was all her fault I'd ended up like this.]
[Hmm... I don't really understand. Ended up like this... but I don't think anything's wrong with me. Other than my stomach making noises now and then, I don't feel uncomfortable.]
"Heh, what do you think, old woman?" Hexi tilted her head slightly and looked at King of Gods Keisha, who sat beside her. Her silver-white hair drifted gently with the movement.
"To place this diary in front of us without our noticing..." Keisha's brows furrowed with a seriousness that was hard to put into words.
She held the diary open in her hands. Its cover read [Su Bai's Diary (Keisha Copy)].
"So either he really is a transmigrator, as he claims, or else..." Keisha's brow creased as she trailed off.
"What, you're going to bring up the Ultimate Fear again?" Hexi rolled her eyes. She lowered her crossed left leg, changed positions, and crossed her right leg instead.
Hexi picked up the diary with interest and examined it, her voice full of curiosity.
"Still, it's true. This kind of ability really doesn't exist in the Known Universe..."
"But... whether he's a transmigrator or the Ultimate Fear, that's a pretty big claim to make right from the start... And it proves that the Main Biological World isn't the only one."
Hexi's expression turned serious as she spoke.
The two of them continued reading the diary.
[Xiao Xue said it wasn't my body that was injured, so I should look fine on the outside. She also said my stomach was growling because I was hungry.]
[Of course I knew my stomach was growling because I was hungry. I was only saying that my stomach was growling. Xiao Xue's an idiot; she didn't understand at all.]
[Xiao Xue seemed to realize I was right. She said I was the idiot, and that because she hadn't protected my soul properly, part of it was damaged. I'd become slower at thinking, lose some of my memories, and my thoughts wouldn't be like those of a normal person.]
[She said the system manual wasn't supposed to interfere too much with its host, but she'd keep helping me to make it up to me.]
[She said this world was dangerous. Although she could give out powerful rewards to make me really, really strong, it'd be over if Dukao, that warmonger, or Morgana, the demon leader, got hold of me at the start.]
