I loaded the dream game

"..."

As always, apart from the changes in the values ​​in the dream points column, nothing seemed to have happened, which made Xia Zhi start to wonder whether he should add a light and shadow special effects setting next time.

While complaining in his mind, he looked at his hands curiously.

Although it is said that it is allowed to get something for nothing, the specific effect seems to be unclear for the time being.

The only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that money will not fall from the sky as a result.

Come to think of it, after all, it is just "possible" and not "necessary". Strictly speaking, it just adds a possibility for myself... Well, after all, the price is only in the three digits, so I won't expect so much.

Xia Zhi thought about it, glanced at Ai Lu Ke who was sleeping beside him, carefully pulled his hand out of her arms, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

After working in a dark, dusty and dirty basement for an entire afternoon, it always feels a bit weird if I don't take a shower.

As for Eluko...when the time comes, please ask Shana or Yangno to help her take a bath as well.

Just as Xia Zhi was thinking this in his mind, he came to the bathroom door and opened it, only to see a black-haired girl inside standing there holding a small piece of indecipherable cloth in her hand, looking at him in surprise.

"..."

Under the bright light of the bathroom, a petite, flawless body is highlighted by her soft and shiny black hair.

Although her development is still immature, one can still see her slender figure outlined by smooth and neat curves.

"……I see."

Faced with this unexpected situation, Xia Zhi calmly thought and analyzed in his heart:

“Isn’t this also a kind of gain without any effort?”

"..."

Looking at the young man who was staring at her without any concealment and with a thoughtful expression on his face, Shana's face immediately turned red.

Then, the next moment...

"Give me--"

The blazing red flames instantly illuminated the bathroom, and the flames reflected the girl's blushing cheeks. The sword wrapped in scorching flames was swung down fiercely -

“——Go to hell!”

……

Fortunately, although Shana was ashamed and angry, she still knew her limits. Otherwise, not only she, but also Xia Zhi and Yang Nai would have to endure the embarrassing situation of "no way to take a bath" for a while.

Despite this, Xia Zhi was still kicked out by the angry girl and suffered the same treatment as Alastair who was thrown into the laundry basket at the door.

Yang No, who was passing by, gave him a strange look. After thinking for a moment, she asked with a hint of curiosity, "What are you doing here, Xia Zhi?"

"...I just suddenly felt a little cold." Xia Zhi replied in response to her question.

"So what does this have to do with you squatting in the corner?"

"Of course, it's 90 degrees here."

"..."

At this moment, Yang Nai suddenly felt that her sister's classmate might have something wrong with his brain.

After looking at the man and the pendant squatting in the corner and "lying" in the laundry basket, she thought about it and didn't say much. After leaving a reminder of "Remember to throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine when the time comes", she turned and left the scene.

"..."

· ········Request flowers··· ··

After a moment's silence, Xia Zhi looked at Alastair and asked, "Why didn't you call me just now?" and started to settle old scores.

Alastor ignored his gaze and asked after a moment's silence, "Xia Zhi, what do you think of the Apostle and the Fire Mist Warrior?"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: Weren't we just discussing going into the bathroom? Why did the issue suddenly rise to this level?

"I just want to know what you think about the two." Facing his confusion, Alastair said in an unchanged tone.

"This..."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "It's about the same as you guys... Although the Fire Mist Warriors are not necessarily all good people, the apostles who followed their own desires and came to the world are strictly speaking a group of people who don't feel sorry for them at all even if they are conquered."

. .. ...

"Do you think that following your own desires is a bad thing?" Alastair continued to ask.

"It's hard to say that causing so much trouble to others is a good thing, right?" Xia Zhi asked back.

"Well..." Alastair did not answer, but remained silent.

"Absolute freedom equals absolute selfishness. Since your freedom touches upon the interests of others, it is reasonable for them to destroy your freedom, isn't it?"

Xia Zhi didn't care about Alastor's silence and continued, "So, I think those apostles can hate or despise the Fire Mist Warriors, but their hatred towards them is unreasonable... After all, all of this is their own fault."

To put it bluntly, it's not that the apostles can't survive in the Red World. They just want to come to the human world after they have eaten their fill and have nothing to do. To put it mildly, it's trespassing into someone's territory. To put it more seriously, it's a clear-cut act of aggression. Isn't it normal to be in trouble for them?

"If it were me, I would definitely not be able to swallow this insult. I might even swear to 'expel them all, leaving no one alive'."

Xia Zhi finally said this in a nonchalant tone.

"..."

After hearing his words, Alastair was silent for a long time. As if he had finally confirmed something, he asked, "Summer Solstice..."

"You are not from this world...right?"

Chapter 307: Summer Solstice: There’s nothing strange about friends helping each other guarding the door, right?

In the steamy bathroom, Shana sat in the hot water with her hands on her knees, looking at the slightly rippling water surface. Not sure if it was because of the rising heat in the bathroom or for some other reason, her fair cheeks were lightly flushed.

Recalling the scene just now, a strange emotion spread in her heart, shyness mixed with anger, and a hint of... she herself couldn't tell what the mood was.

Angry?

Of course I was angry. Anyone would be angry if they suddenly encountered such a thing, right?

But... is it annoying?

"..."

The girl lowered her body, hid half of her face in the water, and fell silent as she watched the bubbles rising and tumbling on the water surface with her exhalation.

I guess... it shouldn't be annoying.

but……

If "one, two, three" is not annoying, then what is the inexplicable emotion in my heart at this moment?

A trace of confusion appeared in the girl's eyes.

In the rising mist, her thoughts became gradually blurred, and she couldn't help but recall that moment.

It’s strange to say, why did I feel happy and excited when I saw him again even though I had already decided to leave him?

This kind of joy is completely different from the joy she felt when she saw a pineapple bun, but it is somewhat similar to the happiness she felt when she ate a pineapple bun...but she couldn't tell the difference between the two.

If I have to say, it’s probably because pineapple buns are… sweet?

Shana hugged her shoulders in the hot water, remembering the strength and warmth she had felt when she was held so tightly.

A faint smile, which cannot be called a smile, appeared under the cover of the heat.

Then, not knowing what she thought of, she quickly shook her head and turned to look at the door. Looking at the clothes scattered on the ground and the marks of burns from the flames, her already rosy face became even redder.

"……Fool."

The girl's soft murmurs echoed in the bathroom.

I just don't know who she is talking about.

……

At this moment, outside the door separated by a wall, as Alastair's words fell, the scene fell into silence for a moment.

You are not from this world... From different perspectives, it can be interpreted in many different ways.

But Xia Zhi believed that what Alastair wanted to say was not "You are not from the same world and cannot be together", which are words that mostly only appear in romance novels.

So, what he wants to express is...

"No, the 'world' I'm talking about is not the present world, but the world we know, including the Red World."

As if he could see what Xia Zhi was thinking, Alastair began to explain.

Since there are two worlds in this world, the Red World and the Present World, no one can say whether there are other worlds... Although it is a bit unbelievable, this is the most likely explanation he can think of for the two abnormal existences, Xia Zhi and Ailu Ke.

And as it stands now...it seems that he was not wrong.

"...That's it."

Xia Zhi did not deny Alastair's guess, but looked at him curiously and asked:

"How did you know that? Did I not hide it well enough?"

Alastair: "...Have you tried to cover up anything?"

Xia Zhi thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Whether it was the arrival of Eluk, or his own power that was different from that of ordinary fire mist warriors, or the information revealed in some daily conversations, as long as one paid attention, it would be easy to doubt their identities.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xia Zhi has never deliberately concealed anything.

Although he borrowed the identity of the Fire Mist Warrior, that was just a temporary excuse because he felt it was too troublesome to explain. He didn't really care whether anyone could see through it... After all, he didn't try to hide his identity as a person from another world in the previous copies.

The fact that Alastair himself could notice this made Xia Zhi feel much easier... at least he didn't need to explain anything to make them believe it.

Seeing that Xia Zhi had acquiesced, Alastair breathed a sigh of relief, then his tone became serious again and he continued, "Can you tell me what is your purpose in coming to this world?"

"Well..." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, I'm here to invade you..."

"After I take over this world, I will issue a decree requiring humans to work a full twelve hours a week, not get up until they have slept eight hours a day, not allow exams and tests, delete English from the international language system, massively reduce the area of ​​cilantro cultivation, and not allow people to tamper with the methods of making dumplings and buns without permission. I will not allow people to add strawberries and durian to rice rolls... What do you think of this?"

"..." Alastair did not comment on this.

"At least give me some suggestions. In some ways, I am quite democratic."

"…Summer Solstice"

After sighing slightly, Alastair spoke again: "Don't try to change the subject. I just want to know what you want to do in this world."

The reason why he signed a contract with humans was naturally to maintain the balance between the two worlds. Although Xia Zhi has not yet shown any behavior that would destroy the balance of the distorted world, he is an unstable factor after all, coming from another world. Even if it is out of his own responsibility, he must be asked about his purpose.

"I told you, but you still don't believe me."

Xia Zhi complained, and after thinking for a while, he said again: "Then let me tell you, I am here to save the world, do you believe it?"

"..."

Rather than believing or not believing this kind of thing, Alastair was more concerned about:

"The 'world' you mentioned..."

...Including the Red World?

Before he could ask this question, he heard a soft "click" sound from the side and the bathroom door was opened again.

The girl, wearing a light pink dress and with a light pink complexion after taking a shower, stood at the bathroom door, looking at the two people chatting in the corner. She was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion:

"You...what are you doing here?"

Also, why are you guarding your bathroom door? .

Chapter 308: Girls' Exchanged Lives

"Um...Xiazhi, you're back..."

The girl with long crimson hair who was curled up on the sofa opened her eyes dazedly. When she saw who was coming next to her, she moved her body and opened her arms to him dazedly.

Xia Zhi picked up the sleepy girl and sat down in his arms, stroking her soft crimson hair. He felt a little strange.

"Why do you always seem to be asleep?"

Is it because he is growing? He guessed in his mind.
