I will never give in to Miss Death

The beach that Yin Xiamo chose at "Blue Sea and Silver Beach" was a certain distance away from crowded areas, and because the sand here had not been processed much and looked a bit dirty, no one within a radius of dozens of meters was willing to come and put up chairs.

But this is consistent with our personalities of not wanting to be too noisy.

Although I don’t have severe social anxiety, it doesn’t mean that I like to go to crowded places and join in the fun.

In fact, if Yin Xiamo hadn’t invited me, I would have had no interest in swimming and the beach.

The beach means heat, it means you need to take off most of your clothes to face the crowd, it means making a lot of preparations, such as buying a swimsuit, slippers, water, equipment, etc. It is the most unfriendly sport for "homebodies".

"Crash, lala, lala -"

In the sea where my feet could almost reach the bottom, I held on to the little yellow duck life buoy and tried to swim according to my memory for a while.

Hmm... the muscle memory of the old uncle is gone, so I have to adapt again.

Moreover, girls' bodies, whether in terms of body shape, weight, lung capacity, etc., are obviously different from those of uncles, and my previous "water skills" don't seem to be applicable anymore.

But I didn't come here to swim today, so it doesn't matter...

"So comfortable..."

After swimming in the sea for a while, I gradually adapted to the sea temperature and became reluctant to go ashore.

The temperature near the beach in Kamihama City should be around 39 degrees Celsius now, and in some places it has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, especially in the sand near the exit on the shore where the moisture has completely evaporated. Maybe an egg buried in the sand will be cooked in ten minutes.

At this temperature, soaking in the sea water is really a pleasure.

"Aren't you going to come over and bite me?"

Seeing me playing with water by myself, Yin Xiamo in front of me was a little amused: "Tsundere little cat?"

"I'll bite you back when I get back."

I tilted my head back and looked at the sun above my head: "It's so comfortable here..."

The current depth of this sea area should be about one meter? It is about the level at which I can just reach the beach below with my swimming ring. If it is deeper, it will cover my mouth.

But what really makes me unconvinced is that at this depth, Yin Xiamo can just stand up and walk in the water without even having to swim!

This made me feel the obvious height difference between me and this Death Girl.

"Wow--"

As I was speaking, a big wave hit and I was pushed back to the shore.

For some reason, the water here seemed much clearer than I remembered. Even when floating on the surface, I could see crabs, shells, various fish and... octopus below?

Wait, octopus?

Feeling as if I saw something, I looked along the stream.

It seemed like a big octopus swam past just now?

"Alas!"

While I was wondering, I felt my little feet seemed to be hugged by something very soft.

It's soft, sticky, and has a suction cup.

Isn’t it afraid of people?

"Xiaomo!"

I tried to lift my feet several times, but I couldn't stand on one foot and keep my balance in such a shaky sea. I pointed to Yin Xiamo below the water and said, "There's an octopus trying to grab me!"

I could feel that the little octopus was slowly crawling from my feet towards my calves.

First it crawled from my toes to the soles of my feet, then to the soles of my feet and ankles...

I was so stimulated that I kicked the water a few times, but it made the thing suck even tighter.

The girl's delicate and sensitive skin made me feel very clearly the suction power of the suction cups on the "tentacles" of this creature.

Why are you still climbing up?!

If I remember correctly, some octopuses have teeth and can bite people, and some are poisonous...

Because this place is far away from the crowd, there are more various marine life?

"Octopus? Wait a minute."

As he spoke, the girl in front of him trotted a few steps towards him, then sank with a "splash".

From this angle I can see that she is swimming towards me in a very standard swimming posture.

Then I felt a pair of hands grabbing my feet.

Then the tentacles of a certain mollusk that was originally wrapped around it were pulled apart one by one and taken off.

So itchy...

With a splash, Yin Xiamo poked her head out of the water, holding a small octopus that was still wriggling in her hand: "Is this the guy?"

"Um……"

I was a little worried: "It...isn't it poisonous?"

"If it's from another world, these creatures usually carry some toxins."

Yin Xiamo took the little octopus in her hand and poked its head. "Most of the toxins have a paralyzing effect. There are also some strange octopus venoms that have that kind of effect... that is, it makes girls excited. The paralysis and excitement cause the brain to be confused, and then this kind of octopus will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."

"Take advantage of the opportunity?!"

I asked reflexively, "Where to enter?"

"Are you stupid?"

Yin Xiamo showed an expression that said "looking at a stupid lolita": "Do you know how big the octopuses in the other world are? Tentacles are more than ten meters long, and some can grow to fifty meters. If an ordinary person is bitten in the sea, his whole body will be paralyzed, his nerves will be excited, and his consciousness will be blurred. This kind of octopus can swallow it in one bite, and then the person will be corroded into a pile of nutrients by the digestive juices in happiness..."

So...so scary...

"But this is Earth, so this small octopus..."

At Yin Xiamo's touch, the little octopus in her hand suddenly spat out a large amount of ink.

"This small octopus is usually used for grilling."

Grabbing the octopus's head and shaking it in the sea water, Yin Xiamo handed it to me: "Do you want to use it?"

What does it mean to use...?

"I do not want."

I quickly took a few steps back: "I don't like this kind of sticky and slippery stuff, throw it away."

"Don't worry, this small octopus can't do anything to you."

Yin Xiamo casually threw the little guy into the deep water: "It's okay even if the poisonous jellyfish nearby come."

"There are poisonous jellyfish nearby?!"

I was a little scared: "Is it really poisonous?"

"Very rare. This beach in Kamihama City has been open for so long, and I heard there have only been about ten cases of jellyfish stings. They're not fatal, but they're extremely painful."

Yin Xiamo explained: "Ordinary people would only feel a little pain, but your body is immune to toxins, so it will probably just be a slight itch for a few minutes."

Innate immunity? Like immunity to viruses?

"I'm immune to so many things?"

I was curious: "Octopus poison, jellyfish poison... these are also possible?"

"of course."

The girl in front of him looked very proud: "Don't talk about you. This little thing poses almost no threat to any race in the other world. This kind of toxin has been eliminated in the other world."

Eh?

"I don't quite understand."

Feeling like I was at the "quibbling" stage again, I pressed my armpits against the duck swim ring, treading water with both feet to keep my feet afloat, and pushed the duck swim ring in front of Yin Xiamo: "Generally speaking, two worlds... two completely different biospheres, different bacteria, viruses, etc., if people from both sides switch places, something bad will happen, right?"

Just like some epidemics in history, people in a certain area were tortured by a certain virus for several generations and survived. In the end, the virus adapted to the humans there, and humans adapted to the virus, achieving "infection but asymptomatic". Many people have been infected with the virus since childhood but have no obvious symptoms. People and viruses coexist peacefully because the antibodies and genes in their bodies have become accustomed to it. But if such people go to a city where there has never been an outbreak of a similar virus and spread the virus, it will be a disaster for the people there.

The evolutionary history of the Earth is roughly like this. The living creatures that are still alive today carry all kinds of information left over from billions of years in their bodies. It is fine to live on Earth, but if such people go to another planet similar to Earth, the "symbiotic" viruses or bacteria in their bodies will definitely be a disaster for that place. Conversely, Earthlings will definitely not be able to adapt to the viruses and bacteria there.

"You know so much about this?"

Hearing what I said, Yin Xiamo was a little surprised: "This is something I spent two or three years studying to learn."

"Yes...really?"

I was a little embarrassed: "I just liked watching some popular science videos while eating."

"Well, since our Noel is so curious about the other world, I'll reveal a little to you."

The girl next to him leaned forward and said, "I want a kiss."

Without hesitation, I smacked that snow-white face and said, "Okay, tell me now!"

"The other world that the hero lived in in his previous life is an upgraded version of this one. You can think of it as this real world is just the 'basic version', and there are a lot of expansions added over there, just like there is a very popular game here called 'Minecraft', the basic content is the same for everyone, there are mountains, there are seas, there is gravity, everyone needs to breathe, they need to eat... all of these are basic content, but there are a lot more expansions over there than here."

As she spoke, Yin Xiamo held up the sea water with both hands: "For example, the sea water now has only so many characteristics in the basic world. After adding the expansion content, the sea water is used to cool the magma to form obsidian, and then the obsidian is assembled into the shape of a door to open the passage to hell. The hell world has different laws from the real world, and the creatures in it are also different. Some can float, and some are immune to magma. Similarly, there are twilight forests, end of the world, and so on - ah, I'm just giving an example, I don't know if you can understand."

"Maybe... yes."

I thought about it and said, "I've played Minecraft before, so the other world is just an upgraded and expanded version of this one?"

"Yes, magic has expanded there, and many worlds have expanded. The human race has also expanded into elves, demons, orcs and so on. There are even tens of thousands of octopuses, big and small, some that can use magic, some that can talk, and everything else. The viruses and toxins that have been experienced and discovered here have already appeared there. Resistance to these ancient viruses and toxins is something that is engraved into DNA. Noer, you must be completely immune to it."

I see……

So even though I am only less than 1.4 meters tall, can sense catnip, and have little strength, my body structure and antibodies are actually tens of thousands of versions ahead of other creatures on Earth?

No wonder I said Yin Xiamo was so confident in throwing me into the water.

Strictly speaking, my menstrual period was the two days ago. I had bleeding and stomach aches during those two days. When I woke up this morning, most of the symptoms had disappeared. Strictly speaking, it is now the "late period" and it would be a little difficult for me to go into the water.

When girls go swimming during their menstrual period, because their bodies are weak and the conditions below are different, it is easy for viruses to take advantage of the situation and cause symptoms such as colds and uterine chills. In severe cases, it may even cause infection. Therefore, textbooks clearly state that girls are prohibited from going swimming one week before and after their menstrual period.

However, there is no need to worry about the "magical" situation like my body. After all, I am ahead of the others and immune to viruses and bacteria.

On the sea, I carefully glanced at Yin Xiamo beside me.

"what happened?"

Someone who sensed my gaze blurted out: "Kitty, do you still want to bite me?"

"Humph."

I grabbed the swimming ring, turned around and swam towards the deep water.

It seems that the relatively normal life these days has made me relax my vigilance against this Miss Death.

Because I had no specific concept, I had no idea what kind of stories she had experienced as a person who "traveled" from another world, and what the specific model of that world was like.

Just like I, a person living in a three-dimensional world, cannot imagine the four-dimensional universe, I simply cannot imagine what it feels like to use "magic" or what life is like in another world.

In other words...Yin Xiamo has been exposed to a much wider range of concepts and worlds than I have.

But she has always followed the local customs.

In order to cooperate with me, she always behaved like an ordinary little girl.

It seems that the difficulty of my "resistance" has increased again.

We have to think of something.

As an uncle and a tough guy, I cannot be assimilated by a little girl's body, let alone be suppressed by a little devil who should be my subordinate...

"Is Kitty thinking of something disrespectful again?"

Seeing me turn around and walk away on the sea, Yin Xiamo swam over quickly and said, "Your inner thoughts are written all over your face, right?"

"I didn't think of anything!"

I avoided the guy's eyes: "I'm just learning how to swim."

"Huh? Really?"

With a "plop" sound, I saw Yin Xiamo sink directly into the water. The next second, I felt my legs being pulled violently -

"Alas!"

In a panic, I was pulled under the water by this unscrupulous guy.

"Well……"
