I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

"Great!"

Liu Yue immediately cheered with joy.

Mizhen chuckled twice, but a smug look of triumph, as if her plan had been perfectly executed, was hidden deep in her eyes.

I only promised to tell them about it; whether Shigure agrees or not is another matter entirely.

Anyway, the demands have already been exchanged, so you have to build this computer whether you like it or not!

The thought of being able to enjoy video games again in a few years makes Mima incredibly excited.

But just then, Liu Yue suddenly raised an eyebrow, as if she had remembered something, and stroked her chin, saying:

"Oh, right, I called you in because I have something important to discuss."

"Ok?"

Mima slowly typed a question mark: "Wasn't what we just talked about serious business?"

Liu Yue shook her head.

"This happened last night. You were busy having a heart-to-heart talk with the big-breasted senior, so I didn't call you."

"Huh?" Mi Zhen instinctively turned around and looked at the incubation chamber in the center of the room. The five things were still quite quiet and had not changed at all.

That's strange. If it's not this thing, what else could it be?

"It's a bit complicated... Come with me."

Liu Yue stood up, stretched her body, and then walked to the door, gesturing for Mi Zhen to follow.

Then, she opened the door and went out.

Mima scratched his head in confusion, then followed after him.

As Liu Yue walked down the corridor, she said, “You probably don’t know this—although you can go into all the rooms in this building, they are all unfinished, bare rooms without any furniture or anything. After all, you didn’t go into any of the other rooms back then, so you can’t create something out of thin air that you’ve never seen before.”

Mi Zhen knew this, of course. After confirming that he could leave the room, he "explored" the mental world many times. In general, it was just a place in name only. Although it looked exactly the same as his previous life's residence, upon closer inspection, one could find many inconsistencies.

Chapter 184: When creating a character, you should definitely choose a girl!

For example, overly clean and tidy streets, buildings of ridiculously high quality, etc., those details that he wouldn't specifically remember were filled in manually by Liu Yue and Ni Yue Shi Yu, of course, that would only produce such a result.

But what does it mean to bring this up at this time?

Filled with doubt, Mi Zhen followed Liu Yue to the room on the left at the end of the corridor, watched as she slowly turned the lock on the door, and then turned around and said something.

"What we're about to see... is a little scary."

"Scary?"

"In short, you'll see when you see it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nizuki Shigure pushed the door open.

Mizhen glanced inside casually.

"What the hell?!"

He was shocked.

It wasn't that I saw anything bloody, terrifying, or indescribably bizarre. The room was very ordinary, just a normal six-person dormitory room with bunk beds lined up in a row, a few tables and chairs on the other side, and some basic living supplies.

This is... the room where Mima lived when she was in the children's welfare home.

It can be described as the darkest chapter in history.

To be fair, the welfare home was quite well-mannered and kind, and there were never any unpleasant incidents that made people feel disgusted. However, Mi Zhen had gone from being the darling of his family to an orphan who was rarely cared for overnight. At only five years old, it took him a long time to adapt to the environment, so he naturally did not leave a very good impression. Even years after entering society, he still had a certain psychological shadow about the concept of dormitory.

I never thought I'd be able to relive a scene like this even after traveling through different worlds...

What's going on? How come there's an extra room like this here?

Just as he was about to ask a question, Liu Yue pointed to the upper bunk near the door, sighed, and said, "See for yourself."

"what?"

Mizhen frowned, took a few steps into the room, pulled up a stool to stand on, and then looked straight at the bed.

—This is the very bed he slept in back then.

In fact, he noticed the unusual thing about the bed as soon as he entered the room.

The other beds were all made up neatly, with the blankets folded into tofu blocks like in military training.

But this place was messy, with the blankets crammed into the bed and a high arch in the center.

...It's like there's someone inside?

Once on higher ground, Mima immediately saw the entire bed.

On top of the arched part of the quilt, there was a mask.

It was pure white, with a hole in the left eye area from which spiderweb-like cracks spread out.

It was the very card that Mima wore when he became intangible!

What kind of scene is this?

Mi Zhen rubbed his temples, and in an instant, he thought of the most likely scenario. After a moment of contemplation, he asked Liu Yue, "Is this the emptiness within my body?"

"All I can say is... that's probably how it is."

Liu Yue did not give a definite answer: "After all, this is the first time I've ever seen such a scene."

"Where's Nizuki Shigure? Aren't you going to ask her?"

"That old hag... she's still sleeping."

The unexpected answer surprised Mima: "She sleeps in late too?"

“No, that’s not it.” Liu Yue shook his head. “We Zanpakuto users have almost no need for sleep. For example, I can replenish my energy with just one hour a day. Even if I don’t sleep, it doesn’t matter. The old hag is better than me in this respect. She only needs to sleep one day every six months. She started sleeping last night and is still sleeping now.”

Mizhen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Then why did you sleep eight hours every day before?"

Liu Yue immediately put her hands on her hips and answered confidently, "Of course I'm arrogant because I'm lazy!"

"..." Mi Zhen gave him the middle finger. "You're awesome."

After scorning Liu Yue's shameless laziness, he turned his attention to the bulge in the blankets.

This thing emits a very faint spiritual pressure, which is almost imperceptible if you don't pay close attention, but it is indeed of an ethereal nature.

Unexpectedly, my plan from two months ago has come true; a Void has actually sprouted from my body...

With this guy included, the souls I created myself are enough for a mahjong game. If we include the five outsiders, it's even enough for a game of Werewolf.

...It's best not to increase it any further, otherwise you could assemble a whole football team. That's what you call a high-quality schizophrenia of the Grim Reaper.

"What should we do?" Mima stroked her chin, looking at the motionless bulge. "Are you sure this thing is alive?"

"I didn't know, that's why I called you."

Liu Yue continued her self-righteous declaration of utter incompetence: "If you want to know what's going on, why don't you just lift the blanket and take a look?"

"It's amazing you managed to wait until now to deal with what happened last night..."

"Isn't that obvious? The old hag is sleeping. I finally got a chance to rest, and then I sensed something inexplicably appear here. How could I dare to touch it carelessly?" She spread her hands with unusual nonchalance. "This is an illusion, you know. What if I can't beat it?"

"Damn it, this guy has completely turned into a comedic character," Mima sighed. "Alright, not acting rashly is a good solution. Let me see..."

After saying that, he tentatively reached out and took the mask off the top of the blanket, looking it over from all sides.

Aside from its seemingly exceptionally hard texture, it is no different from a regular Hollow Mask.

He tried to squeeze it, using enough force to break steel bars, but the mask didn't even show any sign of deformation.

This looks like a decent piece of armor?

Then, Mima cautiously grabbed a corner of the blanket, gave Ryugetsu a look that said to act immediately if things went wrong, and only after receiving a response did she slowly lift it off.

Then he saw... a cocoon?

A large, egg-shaped cocoon, about 70 centimeters tall and made of pure white fine threads, stood perfectly still on the bed.

However, the cocoon was not very thick, and through the surface, one could see a rather slender figure curled up inside—a humanoid shape, but it did not seem to be an adult and did not react to Mima's act of pulling off the blanket.

Is it sleeping? Or is it "not yet born"?

This is how to do?

Mizhen blinked, then simply pulled the blanket off completely and gently poked the cocoon surface a few times—it felt soft and elastic, somewhat like a latex pillow.

He and Liuyue exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered.

After a period of silence, Liu Yue made a suggestion: "How about... we cut this thing open?"

"That seems to be the pattern for Nezha's birth. Will it work?" Mi Zhen stroked his chin and said, "Won't cutting him open kill him instead?"

"What should I do?"

"Of course I'd ask you since you're an indigenous person."

"I called you in because I didn't know what to do!"

"I'm not Wang Yue from Nimaiya!"

"Then I won't either..."

The pointless argument was interrupted halfway through by footsteps coming from the corridor.

Liu Yue's face turned ashen in an instant, and her feet took a step back as if out of control, as if she intended to run away immediately. However, the footsteps approached faster than her movements, and before she could turn around, Ni Yue Shi Yu's figure had already appeared at the door.

"Let me handle it."

she said calmly.

Unlike her usual appearance, Shigure was a little disheveled this time, with her collar turned inside out, one button misplaced, and a few strands of hair sticking up, making it clear that she had rushed over after getting up in a hurry.

"Yo."

Mima greeted them, then pointed to the large cocoon on the bed and said, "Do you know what to do with this?"

"It's very simple."

She conjured a comb, combing her hair with one hand and tidying her clothes with the other, all the while explaining, "Just open it."
