Ren Yu raised an eyelid. "This is the real world."
"The real world?!"
Upon hearing this answer, Sie's expression shifted for a moment.
So, she had returned to the real world?
No wonder the surroundings felt so familiar.
No, that's not right!
The next moment, she suddenly shook her head again.
According to the person who brought her out from the depths of the Sea of Quantum, the Sea of Quantum contained various World Bubbles.
This meant that the "real world" she was thinking of was very likely not the same thing as what this black-haired man in front of her was referring to.
This place might be fictional.
Or it could be a world composed of overflowing events or objects, not truly the world she was born into.
Seeing Sie's troubled expression, Ren Yu suddenly chuckled.
He could probably guess what nonsensical thoughts were running through Sie's mind.
—She was wondering if this was the true real world, wasn't she?
He spoke again, explaining, "Don't overthink it. This is the real world where you've lived for over a decade."
Sie paused, but no reply came. Instead, she looked at Ren Yu with a strange gaze, as if asking—How do you know this is the world I was born in?
Ren Yu clicked his tongue, thinking that if he didn't reveal some information, she probably wouldn't believe him.
After a moment of thought, he added:
"Your name is Sie Fulei, born in 2000. Before entering the Sea of Quantum, you lived at the 'Cocolia Orphanage' located in Siberia."
Sie's beautiful eyes looked at Ren Yu in disbelief, seemingly astonished at how he knew her information.
But Ren Yu continued speaking as if to himself:
"During your time at the orphanage, you also recognized someone named Bronya Zaychik as your sister. I'm not wrong, am I?"
Bronya-neechan!
At this moment, Sie's eyes instantly lit up, her long eyebrows trembling slightly. Her mind seemed to be completely occupied by the four words "Bronya-neechan." She exclaimed joyfully, "You know Bronya-neechan? Where is she now?"
Ren Yu glanced at Sie, who was looking up at him with her eyes returned to blue, full of anticipation. He knew he had said the right thing.
Chapter 19: The Real World
"Bronya isn't here."
Sie felt as if she had heard a death sentence, her heart filled with disappointment.
It made sense. The world was so vast, and she didn't even know where she was. How could Bronya-neechan possibly appear here by chance?
But the next second, Ren Yu's reply rekindled her hope.
"To be precise, she's not here right now. She should be back in a few days, as she studies here."
"Huh?!"
Ren Yu chuckled. It seemed using Bronya as bait was indeed the correct approach.
She's practically a specialized weapon for Sie!
"You're saying Bronya-neechan studies here?!"
Sie looked around, bewildered. "But this doesn't look like a school."
"..."
Ren Yu opened his mouth, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Because this is my dorm. Classes are held in the teaching buildings outside."
"Ah?!"
Sie was stunned. She turned to look at the glass window behind her, and indeed, several brightly lit, large buildings could be seen in the distance.
Ren Yu seized the opportunity. "You've finally calmed down, so it's my turn to ask you questions."
Sie's gaze darted away. She was actually a little afraid to answer, but then she remembered that the one who had agreed to the conditions earlier was also "herself," so she nodded in agreement.
"You... go ahead and ask."
Ren Yu looked at her and slowly began, "How did you pass through the Sea of Quantum to get here?"
This question had been bothering Ren Yu for a long time.
He hadn't heard of many humans who had accidentally entered the Sea of Quantum being able to return.
"I... I don't know."
Sie gently shook her head, recalling, "I remember I seemed to have opened a box, and the next thing I knew, I found myself here."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the suitcase on the ground. Suddenly, she pointed at it and said, "It's this box. I originally thought it was my toy box, but later I realized the size was completely wrong."
"My box should have been a bit bigger, a bit taller..."
She gestured with her hand in a circle in front of her chest, indicating that her toy box was much larger than this one.
Ren Yu, however, paid no attention to her gesture. His gaze fell on the opened suitcase on the ground, his mind racing.
This toy box actually has this function?
I've never heard of that!
"You mean after you opened the box, you inexplicably returned here?"
"Mhm, mhm, mhm."
