Someone in Honkai, the Cheat is Bouncing Warehouse Chapter 33

Sie nodded affirmatively.

"That's strange..."

Ren Yu sensed the box on the ground, finding that the energy painstakingly filled within it was continuously dissipating.

At this rate, it would likely hit zero before morning.

He had waited a full half-year to fill this briefcase with energy.

And all he got out of it was a girl?

Ren Yu felt like he'd taken a huge loss.

The last time he opened a box, he'd gotten a ring. After putting it on, he could equip emblems to enhance his strength.

This time, he'd been hoping for a weapon, or perhaps a toy box that could function as a turret.

Now, all his plans were ruined.

No, perhaps not entirely ruined. Ren Yu could feel that something had changed.

Was it a change in the ring?

As Ren Yu brought the briefcase closer to examine it, Sie blinked her watery eyes and asked, "Oh, right. I still don't know your name. Can you tell me what it is?"

She leaned forward slightly, as if waiting for Ren Yu's reply.

"Me?"

"Mhm." Sie looked at him expectantly.

"I..." After a moment of hesitation, Ren Yu finally revealed his real name: "My name is Ren Yu. I'm from Shenzhou. You can just call me Ren Yu."

"Okay, I've got it."

"So, Mr. Ren Yu, can you tell me about the changes in this world? Sie has been gone for a long time and doesn't know anything."

As she mentioned not knowing anything, Sie lowered her head dejectedly, her expression sorrowful.

What time was it now? How many years had passed? After spending so long in the Sea of Quantum, even she was getting confused.

Was Bronya doing well?

What about everyone at the orphanage?

And... how was Mother doing now?

She had so many things she wanted to know.

Sensing her mood change, Ren Yu's heart stirred slightly. He said gently, "Don't worry. Things aren't as bad as you think. It's 2015 now, only a year has passed since you left."

After that, Ren Yu proceeded to explain the situation of the world.

Although it was all common knowledge and some relatively unimportant events, Sie listened surprisingly well.

Or rather, she had likely been too lonely in the Sea of Quantum. As long as someone was willing to talk to her, she would listen to anything.

As they talked, time slowly passed, and Sie became less reserved than she was at first.

She keenly felt that this man with black hair harbored no ill will towards her.

Coupled with the small stories Ren Yu interspersed, her curiosity was piqued. Her heart itched like a cat scratching, and she wished she could hear everything in one go.

Just as Ren Yu was about to talk about Bronya, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Sie tilted her head, looking curiously at the stopped Ren Yu.

She was just about to hear about the person she cared about most, and he suddenly stopped?

Ren Yu hesitated, but ultimately decided not to reveal the news about Bronya.

He knew that if he told Sie what she cared about most, she would probably run off to find Bronya the next day.

Besides, he didn't know Bronya's current situation either.

It seemed her nominal mother, Cocolia, had called her back, and he wasn't sure where she was.

If Cocolia knew Sie had escaped the Sea of Quantum, she might use her for another round of experiments.

He glanced at Sie's bulging chest. Although nothing could be seen through her clothes, Ren Yu knew there was an unusual Stigmata there.

—A Stigmata she was born with.

Combined with Sie's feat of walking out of the Sea of Quantum alive, Cocolia might very well subject her to some experiments again.

Sighing, Ren Yu glanced at the clock on the wall.

—03:24

He said with a weary expression, "It's very late. You should get some sleep."

"Okay, I will."

Sie responded obediently, not forcing Ren Yu to continue chatting with her.

Ren Yu picked up the suitcase from the floor and was about to open the door to run to the next room to sleep when Sie suddenly jumped off the bed and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to sleep," Ren Yu said, looking at her with amusement.

"It's so late, what else can I do but sleep?"

"Can't you sleep here?" Sie said nervously.

Even though Ren Yu had said so much, she was still scared.

Scared this wasn't the real world.

Scared this was just a false dream, and when she woke up, she would return to that distorted Sea of Quantum.

Scared it was all an illusion.

"I'll sleep here?"

"That works too."
