Cthulhu America, I can see the kill line.

Kong Jiu carefully examined the intellectual and mature brown-skinned woman before him, recalling their first encounter in the school lecture hall. Only now did he realize that he couldn't glean any information from her.

"Neo, is it really you?"

Looking at this woman who almost perfectly matched all his ideals, Kong Jiu's rationality gradually returned.

"That's just how you see me, don't mind it, Kong Jiu."

Neos gently tossed her long hair, her posture seemingly showing off her beautiful body to Kong Jiu.

"As you can probably guess, like Squich, I'm not an ordinary individual, am I?"

"I understand, I understand, it's a god like the Squich Rat God, right?"

"I am not a god, please do not address me that way..."

Neos rested her chin on her hand, took a small sip of red wine, and said calmly, "The Squich and I that you can see, or rather, any image that can be observed with the naked eye, are merely traces of our differentiation."

She put down her wine glass and awkwardly gestured in the air, as if she were describing something.

"It's like I'm an octopus, a super octopus with countless tentacles, as big as a blue whale. And you, as an ant, what can you see?"

"A single tentacle?"

"No," Neos shook her head, "it's a sucker on the tentacle, a spot of color on the sucker."

"It's not even a physical entity; it's just a speck of color in your eyes. An ant wouldn't even know what to call something like that, would it?"

Kong Jiu curled his lip: "If you are truly such a colossal being, then what difference is there between you and a god to us mortals?"

Neos frowned slightly, clearly displeased with Kong Jiu's stubbornness.

"Okay, it seems I can't convince you. But please just treat me as an ordinary friend, and please don't start any kind of god worship for no reason."

"But in my eyes, you're practically the perfect woman; it's hard not to be attracted to you, isn't it?"

Although Kong Jiu had regained his senses, Neos's appearance remained unchanged in his eyes, still captivatingly beautiful. "My God, even a frown from you stirs my heartstrings. Are you perhaps the incarnation of the goddess of beauty?"

"Okay, this was my mistake." Faced with Kong Jiu's obviously fanatical words, Neos sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"I thought that in Amerigo, a land rife with discrimination against people of color, where some even called me 'yellow-skinned,' no one would like a brown-skinned woman from west of Asia, which is why I chose this girl's body to manifest here..."

"I'm sorry, but I'm Asian, so what if I like the skin color of my own people?"

"In fact, Congo, in most of Amerigo Vespucci's doctrines, the skin color of my body is called 'the gray of the pagans,' while an Eastern face like yours is called 'the son of the red dragon.' In the eyes of white people, we are not the same kind of yellow."

Neos gently took Kong Jiu's hand; his wheat-brown skin and the back of his hand were clearly different.

The moment Neos's fingertips touched Kong Jiu, the latter's heart rate suddenly soared to over 120.

"Oh, I see. I see. That's really..."

Kong Jiu stammered and could barely speak coherently.

Neos shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, it seems you really like this body." She released Kong Jiu's hand. "Perhaps after everything is over, and I leave this body, you can have a connection with this girl."

"Really? I have a chance to develop a relationship with this stunningly beautiful body... cough cough cough..."

Kong Jiu was so excited that his face turned red, but he immediately realized his lapse in composure, quickly composed himself, and asked in a still-rational tone:

"I mean, this girl before me, so beautiful as an angel, isn't as mysterious and unattainable as I initially thought? You're just temporarily using her body?"

Neos nodded.

"Yay!"

Kong Jiu turned around and cheered softly.

"Alright, alright, maybe I can help you find a match later. But for now, please put aside your primal male desires and focus on the important matter, okay?"

Neos showed a hint of impatience, stretched out her slender and graceful brown arm, which was as delicate as a marble sculpture, grabbed Kong Jiu's collar, and pulled him in front of her.

That beautiful face, unattainable even in dreams, was now right next to Kong Jiu.

"Sorry, sir, this is too difficult."

"Then you can close your eyes first."

As she spoke, Neos had a sudden thought and opened Kong Jiu's system panel.

"Hmm, Intelligence 10 points, just as expected, you've become a psionicist."

She dragged Kong Jiu's panel, opened the log, and looked up her experiences since they parted ways.

[Strength: 5, a strong and powerful mortal]

Agility: 4, a swift mortal.

[Intelligence: 10, close to E-rank psionicist]

[Vision: 4. Evil spirits will materialize in your eyes!]

[Rationality: 82, Sober]

"I'm glad you've made a lot of progress, Kong."

Neos smiled, which made Kong Jiu lose his composure for a moment.

"However, there is still a very long way to go before you can fulfill your wish to go home."

Come back home.

This word, like some kind of command, awakened Kong Jiu.

"Neo, since you can foresee the future, will I be able to return to my hometown? No matter how far or difficult the journey is, just tell me 'yes' or 'no'."

Kong Jiu could also glimpse the future in the subspace, but let alone things far in the future, even secretly checking tomorrow night's lottery numbers would make him inexplicably uneasy.

He could only turn to this psychic who could foresee the future.

Neos nodded, but her expression became more serious.

"The possibility exists, but it will be a very long journey. I cannot say whether your enthusiasm for returning home will be worn down along the way."

Kong Jiu nodded firmly: "That's enough. As long as there's a possibility, I won't give up."

Suddenly, another voice entered his mind.

"Feed? Feed feed? Damn it, Kong Jiu, can you hear me? Is subspace communication really that bad there?"

It was Squiche; the rat's voice echoed in Kongjiu's mind.

"Answer it," Neos gave Kong Jiu a look, signaling him to respond, "I can sense your thoughts."

Kong Jiu understood immediately and pressed his hand on the ring: "I'm here, Arthur. You can speak, and Neos can hear you too."

"Good, finally connected. It's almost midnight. Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed and get ready to begin your operation."

A place where I won't be disturbed?

Kong Jiu made a quick decision, beckoned, and a servant came over from not far away.

"A room, a good one," Kong Jiu said, taking Neos's hand in the process. "And whatever you do, don't let anyone disturb me and this lady."

The attendant understood and withdrew. A moment later, he returned carrying a tray with a room key on it.

However, the servant mysteriously lifted the towel under the tray, revealing a small blue medicine bottle.

"This was prepared for you by Young Master Impa. May you have great success in your martial arts endeavors, Mr. Kong."

The servant winked and said.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Kong Jiu could only suppress his embarrassment, force a smile, take the room key and medicine bottle, and walk into the hotel's long corridor with Neos in his arms.
