Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Cong Yu cast a disdainful glance at the doctor's words. However, she did not expose the doctor's claim that "the success rate was propped up by the number of matches played."

　Cong Yu simply took out the hourglass from Jormungandr.

　"Alright, next... it's time for you to see this."

　As Cong Yu said this, he released a live-streaming spell, connecting the images of his office and the doctor's office into the live-streaming room.

　Cong Yu truly deserves his reputation as one of the world's biggest streamers, with a fan base almost equal to that of Miss Chi You... Yes, Miss Chi You has more fans than him.

　It's possible that Miss Chi You decided to become a streamer right after breaking the seal... At that time, I gained a lot of fans for Miss Chi You.

　However, Miss Chi You's fan growth rate has slowed down now, and she might be surpassed by Cong Yu in a few years.

　In any case, despite Cong Yu's unpredictable live streaming schedule, many people still tune in to his live streams.

　By the way, Cong Yu's Metaber account is managed by a dedicated team, including a screen recording group and video editors.

　Almost at the same time Cong Yu started broadcasting, people flooded in.

　A large number of viewers flooded into Cong Yu's live stream room.

　Cong Yu had pretty much gotten used to this, and without waiting for all the viewers in the live stream to arrive, he went straight to the point.

　"The artifact hourglass has entered a state where it can be activated after absorbing a snake scale... I'm ready to activate it."

　As she said this, Cong Yu simply channeled the power of her faith into the hourglass in her hand, which appeared to remain unchanged.

　But at this moment, the hourglass was no longer unresponsive as before... With the infusion of faith power, the sand inside was visibly flowing upwards.

　From the bottom part, the anti-gravity movement moves towards the upper part of the hourglass.

　If you look at it upside down, you'll probably see a fairly normal and reasonable scene... Unfortunately, gravity is "positive".

　Whether it was Cong Yu's friends or those already watching the live stream, everyone couldn't help but start thinking.

　What would happen if this hourglass ran completely dry... after all, it's a magical artifact.

　And right under everyone's watchful eyes...

　The fine sand in the hourglass eventually ran out; the fine, white sand, which was essentially "scale powder," all gathered at the top of the upper half of the hourglass.

　But it seems nothing happened.

　"What the hell?"

　The doctor couldn't help but ask, while Cong Yu pondered for a moment, turning the hourglass in her hand over and over...

　If nothing works, Cong Yu will make a scene, he really will... It's so frustrating.

　"Boom-"

　As the hourglass was turned upside down, and Cong Yu placed it upside down on the table... everything around lost its color.

　In Cong Yu's eyes, everything around her turned into pure gray-white, as if the light no longer reflected the surrounding colors.

　what happened?

　Before Cong Yu could even react, Yao Chuan Guang stared wide-eyed at Cong Yu's fading body and reached out to grab her—

　"Congyu-chan! Don't disappear!!!"

　What? So I'm Menma...

　Just as Cong Yu was about to make this comment, Yao Chuan Guang grabbed her arm... and then the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time.

　It was like being etherealized by activating "Kamui".

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　doctor:"……"

　Viewers watching the live stream: "..."

　In the silence, everyone was stunned.

　Before they could react...

　The hourglass began to slowly let the fine sand flow down.

　Just like an ordinary hourglass...

　如果上面没有显示魔力构成的，电子表一样的「6：59：59」、「6：59：58」倒计时就更像了。

　……

　Oh no! Cong Yu (Cong Yu's older brother) is missing! Yao Chuan Guang (Xiao Guang/Yao Chuan's older sister) is missing too!

　Spicy meatballs!!!

　Chapter 1046 A Journey to the Future!

　假如你的面前有一个「6：59：59」、「6：59：58」这样倒计时的东西……

　So, what's your first thought?

　Yes, even if this thing looks like an hourglass, it is essentially a magical tool given by the gods.

　(Miska-Muska-Milaoshu... Hey hey hey? Who are you? Why are you arresting me... No!!!)

　Even if it's an hourglass, it's always easy to associate it with bombs or some more terrifying countdown.

　Unfortunately, no one can rule out the possibility that this thing is indeed a "bomb"... and "bomb" here doesn't just refer to explosives.

　Who knows, after the countdown ends, that giant serpent will arrive... This is too fast.

　Humanity is not prepared for this; it's terrifying!

　Moreover, it seemed that Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang had fallen into some kind of terrible "teleportation trap" and were teleported to some unknown place.

　"Xiao Guang and Cong Yu... eloped."

　Lan Tianzhu spoke quietly, but her antics didn't elicit a response from anyone present... Everyone was still in shock and worry.

　Compared to Xiao Cui, who was simply worried about Cong Yu and Yao Chuan, the president was more concerned about the Disaster Committee at this moment.

　While he was indeed very worried about Cong Yu's safety, the president was also very worried about the Calamity Species in the universe...

　"You go back first."

　The doctor said this, indicating that the president could leave Lixiang: "I don't think Cong Yu will have any accidents."

　Compared to Cong Yu's accident, the doctor was more worried about the hourglass's countdown... It was a countdown on a magical artifact, which was extremely dangerous.

　Amid everyone's worries, the doctor continued, "The live-streamed procedure was interrupted... viewers only noticed that the procedure was interrupted."

　The spells used in live streaming are not extinction spells, nor are they spells that can cause permanent changes.

　The spell will naturally stop once the user falls asleep or leaves, so it won't cause any immediate disturbance.

　However, it's not good to keep this from everyone.

　Cong Yu is now the absolute backbone of the Li people.

　Cong Yu's disappearance is a very serious problem; it might just crush the morale of the Li people.

　……

　Unfortunately, that's how it is.

　But there were lucky things too, namely...

　"Look."

　As Lan Tianzhu said this, he checked the current time and said, "It feels like the countdown is speeding up."

　About ten minutes passed after Cong Yu disappeared. During this time, everyone kept fiddling with the hourglass, turning it over and over, but to no avail.

　"It should have only been ten minutes or so..."

　As Lan Tianzhu said this, she looked at the hourglass countdown, which seemed to be ticking faster and faster, whether it was her imagination or not.

　After the countdown had been running for more than ten minutes, the message "6:45:17" appeared floating on the screen.

　Then, in the blink of an eye, it changed back to "6:45:15", jumping from half a second to two seconds.

　Perhaps Lan Tianzhu noticed something was amiss, because the hourglass countdown stopped and started beating faster and faster.

　"Really?!"

　Xiao Cui said this.

　"Tsk... troublesome."

　The doctor clicked his tongue in disapproval.

　He dragged everyone out of the office one by one, saying, "Come on, come on, come out with me... I'm afraid of an explosion."

　This thing really does feel like a bomb.

　Finally, when everyone left the office and peered through the doctor's office window, attracting quite a few people's attention...

　The numbers on the hourglass finally changed to "0:00:00"... Everyone doesn't need to worry about the countdown anymore, how lucky!

　What? You're asking what's so lucky about this? Is it because "a short pain is worse than a long one"?

　Well, it's not exactly something to be particularly happy about if the countdown just goes to zero quickly; in fact, it is...

　Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang are back.

　Yes, Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang reappeared before everyone the instant the countdown reached zero...

　At this moment, "everyone" is no longer just the two little ones and the doctor; Ailiya, who heard about Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang's disappearance, has also come.

　Also, during this time, the eccentric executives and Shunni Sanzenryu all gathered around out of concern.

　Brigitte and her sister, Shunni Sanqianliu and her brother, all came, as did Da Ying and many Xiao Ying.

　The reason why the Great Shadow brought so many Little Shadows was to investigate the clues of Cong Yu's disappearance... and then they saw Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang appear.

　"Ah, I'm back..."

　Cong Yu said this, as if holding an hourglass, while Yao Chuan Guang's eyes lit up: "I want to go again, I want to go again!"

　Upon hearing Yaochuan Guang's words, Cong Yu and the obviously bewildered doctor exchanged glances and said, "Wait a minute."

　As Cong Yu spoke, Da Ying held up a sign that read "Cong Yu" and "You," but before she could speak in her special way...

　A small shadow spoke first, acting as the big shadow's mouthpiece: "Cong Yu, are you alright? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

　Shunni Sanqianliu was also somewhat worried about this, and while tapping and grinding in the mobile game, he asked, "What exactly happened?"

　Before responding to the questions and the puzzled, worried looks on everyone's faces, Cong Yu asked first, "More importantly... everyone, how long has it been since Yao Chuan Guang and I 'disappeared'?"

　Although she didn't quite understand what Cong-gege and Yao-chuan-jie-jie were talking about, Xiao-cui still gave the exact number: "Thirty minutes... right?"

　The little elves added to what Xiao Cui had said—

　"twitter--"

　Xiao Cui nodded in response, translating, "The elves said it would take about twenty-five or twenty-six minutes."

　Cong Yu nodded, muttering to herself, "The time is synchronized...that's good news."

　While I don't expect the two sides to synchronize their time (time to stop), it's still much better than a "dream of the rotten axe."

　"Wow! What an amazing hourglass!"

　Yao Chuan Guang praised this, patting his chest and saying, "As expected of the Power of a divine artifact, a divine artifact indeed."

　Using a principle that Cong Yu completely did not understand, and with very little faith power, the two were transferred to the future.

　It's roughly the future era of Cong Yu...

　Indeed, this is a divine artifact.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu first reopened the live stream spell, and then began to explain to the people present—

　"Yaochuan Guang and I were just transported to the future, and then I used the hourglass to return here on my own..."

　It consumed (wasted) a lot of faith power.

　"..." Everyone: "Huh?"

　Chapter 1047 What? You will also make a lifelong request?

　The world suddenly faded before my eyes, except for Yaochuan Guang, who was grabbed immediately, and retained his original colors.
