Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

Xiaozhi: "What do you mean by the same setting? She and I are not the same person!"

Chen Mo: "You obviously don't even know Xiangzi. Anyway, you understand what's going on here, but Xiangzi, who's in your body, probably doesn't know what's going on yet. Let's contact her first."

Xiaozhi took out Xiangzi's phone and unlocked it with Chen Mo's help. After dialing the number, a gentle and mature female voice answered the phone:

"Hello, who are you? Zhizhi has gone to bed now. If you have anything to say, please tell me first."

"Lupa, it's me, it's me! I'm Ebizuka Satoshi! The one on your side isn't me!"

"Eh? Eh!?? You're not lying, are you? Zhizhi just fell asleep on the table, and I covered her with a blanket. How is that possible?"

Chen Mo listened to the gentle voice on the other end and asked, "Who's on the other end of the phone? Your nanny."

Xiaozhi: "No, Lupa is my partner, the bassist!"

Chen Mo: "And they both have a bassist who likes to take care of people. That's so true."

-

Meanwhile, in Xiaozhi's rented house, which wasn't small but was crowded with all sorts of stuff, Xiangzi, who had run into Xiaozhi's body, drowsily opened his eyes, threw off the blanket, and complained, "Who's making such a fuss on the phone? Where is this?!"

Xiangzi shuddered, rising from his seat and looking around the room, which was filled with life. The computer screen, currently idle, was covered in colorful sticky notes. The table was littered with sheet music, music theory books, business cards from various bands, and handwritten notes. There was also a piano next to his seat, clearly in frequent use.

This was undoubtedly a musician's studio, and judging by the fact that he'd put all this stuff in his bedroom, his life wasn't very affluent. How had he ended up here in the blink of an eye?

Calm down, this must be magic at work again. I remember that before I fell asleep, I was hiding in Chen Mo's house with a few people with middle school syndrome, so this place is some kind of arrangement in Chen Mo's house?

But these words did not look like his handwriting. Confused, Xiangzi felt something was wrong with his body. He took two steps before he realized—why did he become so short?

Although Xiangzi himself is not tall, he is now at least ten centimeters shorter than before!

Xiangzi found that the clothes on her body were not hers at all. She took the mobile phone from the table, but couldn't unlock it. However, through the reflection of the mobile phone screen, she saw a completely different face.

Xiangzi was horrified: I traveled through time!? I became another person!?

How could this happen! I'm going to discuss this with Chu Hua Hai Ling in two days to make avemujica a reality. I've even written the script for the stage play, and now I've traveled through time!?

Xiangzi, completely misguided, slapped his face. "Travelling through time isn't scary. Didn't Chen Mo travel through time seven or eight times? If he can do it, why can't I?"

Calm down, nothing can bring me down, I'm Lord Oblivionis!

It seems that the person I traveled through time to replace was also a keyboard player who didn't live very well, and there was a woman living with her. This was somewhat similar to my own situation.

After cheering himself up, Xiangzi walked to the door through which light from outside could be seen, turned the doorknob and pushed it open, and then saw the woman he lived with.

The woman named Lupa was tall. Xiangzi estimated that she was almost half a head taller than he was now. Her brown skin and South Asian features made her clearly a foreigner, and she exuded a gentle, maternal aura. However, Lupa, who was on the phone, saw Xiangzi come out, her eyes widened, and she put down the phone and asked in a trembling voice, "Zhizhi, are you awake?"

What should I do in this situation? Chen Mo had chatted about his time traveling experience, but he always told it as a joke.

Anyway, let’s keep it a secret for now.

Xiangzi tried to act natural: "Ah, I just fell asleep on the table by accident, so I came out for a walk."

The fear on Lupa's face became even stronger: "Zhi, do you still remember who I am?"

Xiangzi thought to herself, "Oh no! Has this body been suspected right away?" She tried to analyze the original owner's condition. From various clues, she could tell that it was this person named Lupa who had been taking care of her. Was it her who had brought the blanket she had just draped over her? She was fully supporting the original owner's music career.

Lupa was so much taller than herself and looked quite old. Thinking about her experience of living in a rented house with her good-for-nothing father, she should be—

Xiangzi asked tentatively, "Mom?"

Lupa: "Woooaaaaaah! It's really haunted!"

-

It’s no wonder that Lupa is suspicious. She just read a horror story that came from nowhere a few days ago.

The protagonist went home and was doing homework on the second floor when he suddenly heard his mother calling from the bottom of the stairs: "Come down for dinner!"

The protagonist didn't think much about it. When he put down his pen and paper and was about to go downstairs, he suddenly saw a message from an unfamiliar number on his mobile phone: Child, don't go downstairs, that's not me!

Countless horror stories flashed through his mind. Lupa picked up a nearby bench and pointed it at Xiangzi, ready to smash it down at any moment while questioning, "Who the hell are you?!"

Xiaozhi tried to dissuade him: "Wait, wait, Lupa, don't do it! Let me explain!"

"Who are you? This isn't Zhizhi's voice!"

Chen Mo and Xiao Zhi explained for a long time before the misunderstanding was resolved. After knowing that it was a "soul swap", Lupa breathed a sigh of relief, put down the bench in his hand, and smiled gently at Xiangzi:

"Sorry, my friend, it was just a misunderstanding."

Xiangzi didn't bother to ask Chen Mo what was going on. She was so frightened by Lupa's sudden violent behavior that she almost collapsed on the spot. Chen Mo listened to the movement on the other end of the phone, and then thought about how Xiaozhi grabbed a dagger when he just woke up, ready to fight or escape at any time... These two are really good at fighting!

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Xiangzi and Xiaozhi began to check their situations on the phone and discuss how to spend the next few days.

Xiaozhi suddenly told Chen Mo that there were some private matters that Chen Mo couldn't hear. Chen Mo obeyed and walked out the door: "You guys continue. I'm not the type to eavesdrop."

The rain outside gradually subsided, and the evening breeze blew on my face with slightly cool raindrops, making my mind clearer.

Chen Mo suddenly realized something was wrong. First of all, this is his home, why should he go out?

Secondly, is Toyokawa Kiyoshi still in that restaurant? I seem to have forgotten about him!

Meanwhile, Toyokawa Kiyoshi was shivering at the door of the restaurant. The restaurant had closed a few hours ago, and after being driven out by the waiter, he had no choice but to stand under the eaves to avoid the rain.

Just now, several teams of strange marchers passed by. Their slogans made people feel itchy, but thinking of Chen Mo's intimidating request, Qing Gao just stood there and waited.

It's so dark and cold here, Chen Mo, when will you come and take me away?!

Chapter 29 Various Aftermath Work (Long Chapter)

As the sun rose, the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the bedroom, and Qi Mu threw the handle in his hand to the ground with relief.

It all started yesterday, when a game he'd been eagerly anticipating online finally released. Because of his passive mind-reading ability, he'd always be spoiled by countless others before he even got to play the game he wanted. So, the only way to avoid being spoiled was to buy and complete a new game on the first day it came out, thus avoiding both intentional and unintentional spoilers.

But given his own disastrous life, he was afraid he would be disturbed by the group of geniuses around him on the way home from buying the game. After encountering the genius interaction with Chen Mo at the mall last time, Qi Mu had become very tolerant of the strange personalities around him. However, no matter how great this tolerance was, it could not make up for the lack of a perfect experience in the game!

Even if you are an extremely powerful superpower, there are still things you cannot do in life.

Qi Mu worried about this matter for the whole morning, and finally found that he could do nothing but pray that everything would go smoothly today.

Qi Mu clasped his hands together and prayed silently in his heart: "God - whatever god it is, if you really exist, please bless me just once! Let me be able to buy the game home and play it smoothly without being disturbed this time!"

Originally it was just a way to vent when there was really no other way, but in the afternoon, Qi Mu saw Toritsu's madness in the chat group, as well as a bunch of inexplicable believers who suddenly joined.

Qi Mu didn't care what happened, but he miraculously discovered that after school in the afternoon, Toritake led most of the students in the class to join that church, and then began to parade along the street!

"Hoohoo! Oh oh oh! Youth! Passion! Love! Smiles! Everyone! Let us work together to spread the love of the Master throughout the world!

Simply walking over here is too unenthusiastic, let's squat all the way to the school gate!"

This is Qi Mu's class monitor Hui Lu, who was fooled by Tori Suzaku and started to go crazy with his classmates.

Toribatsu: "That's right, let's expand the teachings of the Dark Scripture!"

Hai Teng: "Ohhhh! This little trial, come on! The power of the Dark Codex is just perfect for restraining the unrest of the Force!"

Rando: "Why should I join? For free ramen? Then I'll join."

Even the dazzling school beauty Zhao Qiao joined in: "If I join, will I understand Qi Mu's feelings? That's great, I must make him show me love and smile!"

As soon as Zhao Qiao joined in, almost everyone else in the school came over; "Oh hoo! We want to be in sync too!"

Toritsuk: "Very good, this way, the size of my cult will be greatly expanded!

By the way, is that psychic named Qi Mu in the chat group also in this school? Why don’t I see him? Never mind, he might have gone home early. Anyway, he will definitely show up at school tomorrow.

Qi Mu, standing invisible in the corridor, watched the possessed Toritake lead the entire school's students in a parade, slowly disappearing at the end of the street. He felt an incredible surprise:

"The troublesome guys gathered together and left... Could it be that a god really granted my wish?"

Saiki successfully left the deserted campus and headed to the store that sold the game. Normally, there would be a long queue when the game was first released, but today everyone went to the cult parade, and there was no one there!

That’s great. No matter who this god is, if he can always bless me, it’s okay for me to offer sacrifices to him.

-

Qi Mu bought the game home with great anticipation, and then was disappointed by the poor quality of the game.

The promotional video shows cool battles and an open world, but the actual game is just a simple 2D texture game, with bugs where characters will randomly clip through the model, freeze, fly, or even turn into a bunch of mosaics. Not to mention the problems of crashing and clearing the save file at critical junctures. What kind of plot is this!

From the beginning to the end, the NPC kept asking the protagonist to run errands: "Help me find 10 mushrooms", "Help me deliver a letter", "Help me feed the cat", and in the end it was discovered that these tasks were meaningless.

The game advertises "a hundred possible endings," but in reality, they're just the same ending with subtitles in different colors. Each choice is said to "affect the plot," but no matter what you choose, the NPC will say, "This is fate."

The true ending requires playing through the game 50 times, only to discover that it only contains a "Thank you for playing" line at the beginning. The main villain and the protagonist have a paternal grudge, but the protagonist suddenly expresses understanding and shakes hands with him, all in under three seconds.

After staying up all night until dawn, Qi Mu desperately admitted that the long-awaited game he had bought so easily was just a piece of cake that was purely based on marketing.

Forget it, I don’t believe in this god anymore.

Qi Mu was not feeling well after staying up all night tasting the shit. At this time, he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw -

It's a dog-like bird bundle and a bird-like dog bundle.

Qi Mu was about to close the door, but the dog desperately threw itself on him. Telepathically, he heard what it was saying: "Qi Mu, save me!"

",,, what did you do?"

"I swapped souls with this dog! This is Chen Mo's doing, and he said I have to wait several days to recover! Am I going to let this dog go to school in my place?"

Qi Mu: "How did you offend Chen Mo again?"

Toribatsu tearfully told Qi Mu about his experience through telepathy, and Qi Mu showed an extremely impatient look on his face. Sometimes he really wanted to destroy the world.

But what could he do? He didn't have the superpower to swap souls, so he could only find a way to help Birdbeam and the dog named Bruce get through these few days.

-

The next morning, Chen Mo called Ling Huan after seeing the new headlines online.

"Hey, what's this new sect? How do you deal with it?"

Ling Xuan asked me, "You're still asking me! Aren't you the one who pushed all these troubles onto me?"

Chen Mo: "Who told you to act on your own? But at least you've solved a major incident, and your reputation has grown."

Ling Huan: "But I didn't make a penny!"

Yesterday's cult incident was reported in the news as a mass performance art. But if you really look into it, the large-scale demonstration didn't cause any real damage. Besides getting the cultists caught in the rain, the majority of people woke up unscathed, and the incident was successfully covered up by the authorities.

However, although the cult established by Xiao Jiuwo disappeared, a new sect was established. What was its name, the "Fox Cult"?

And most of the members are the cult members who gathered around the Mage Tower yesterday.
