Chapter 14: Chapter 11: Nature Exposed
Wu Hen sat across from the awakened girl.
It was as if there was some kind of electric frequency, Wu Hen could see from her eyes that she might be from the same hometown.
"Sing, dance, rap..." Wu Hen uttered a phrase only those from his hometown would understand.
The awakened girl stared blankly at Wu Hen, and after a long pause, she responded with a phrase ingrained in her bones: "Basket...ball?"
Connection successful!
His guess was not wrong.
She was indeed from the same hometown.
But she seemed completely unprepared.
When he first put on the helmet to enter the Otherworldly Dust, at least he knew his consciousness would leap to another world. But she was different, more like she had been forcibly brought here.
"Did you also put on the virtual iris?" Wu Hen asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about. We were a group of people in the library, I was just too tired and took a nap, and when I woke up, I was here..." the girl explained.
"Where are you from? What's your name?" Wu Hen asked.
"Li City, Lixue High School, my name is Yang Qin." The girl showed a bit of trust, probably because they had a common idol.
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Wu Hen's brain CPU started to run so fast it almost smoked.
Wasn't this his high school classmate of two and a half years??
Could it be that she was also a selected Dimension Pioneer??
But looking at her panicked and anxious demeanor, it didn't seem like it at all.
"You must have heard the global announcement, our previous world was virtual, nestled in the Nuwa God End. Now, you should have awakened in the real world." Wu Hen explained to Yang Qin.
"I know that much, but... why me? I don't want to be in some real world!" Yang Qin was clearly falling apart.
She had no mental preparation at all.
She even thought the global announcement was a conspiracy, absolutely impossible.
Until she was suddenly abandoned by the Nuwa God End, awakening her consciousness and soul in the hellish otherworld.
"Face reality." Wu Hen said.
"Can...can you take care of me? I don't know where this is or anyone else here. I... I don't know what to do... I heard, I heard that walking here can easily get you killed." Yang Qin showed some fragility, speaking in a delicate voice.
Hmph.
Longjing Tea girl, I've known you for two and a half years, do you think I don't know what kind of tea you are?
Don't try that with me!
"I can't even protect myself. I suggest you find some stronger man to talk to." Wu Hen said.
"Please, I'll do anything if you take care of me!" Yang Qin was very scared. Her current host already had an instinctive fear buried in it.
Wu Hen gave Yang Qin's host a once-over. The host looked somewhat similar to Yang Qin in appearance, somewhat attractive.
But unfortunately, Wu Hen was currently very averse to her inner qualities.
...
"If everyone could awaken without discrimination, it's possible Yu Yu also experienced this." Wu Hen began to ponder this matter.
He had entered the otherworld voluntarily.
But because the Nuwa God End could no longer sustain the human shared dream, some people would be forcibly dragged into the real otherworld. They weren't mentally prepared at all, nor did they have any self-protection abilities...
If no one took care of them, they wouldn't survive long.
Fortunately, Wu Hen was lucky this time. His host had a strong friend. Before fully understanding the quirks and rules of this area, clinging to Su Li's thigh wouldn't be a mistake!
Su Li had already assigned tasks.
Naturally, Wu Hen stayed next to this little aunt, hoping to learn more from her.
"Auntie, do you have any weapons I can use?" Wu Hen asked.
"Weapons are scarce, especially after this Evil Soil infiltration. This gun I have is made of special material, and the bullets have Ghost-shattering Bullet fragments." Su Li explained to Wu Hen.
"Why does it feel like everything revolves around Yuan You?" Wu Hen said.
At this moment, Wu Hen felt a warm hand on him. It was Su Li's. Her natural movement sent electric shocks through Wu Hen's body.
"Shall I help you?" Su Li whispered seductively in Wu Hen's ear.
Wu Hen didn't know how to refuse.
He really didn't want to expose himself. He needed Su Li's care.
But if he didn't make things clear, he might end up doing things he shouldn't.
Eventually, reason won over.
Wu Hen kept silent, closing his eyes and reluctantly accepted it.
One has to survive, after all.
He needed to secure a home in the otherworld!
Feeling that warm and gentle touch, gazing at the beautiful face inches away, Wu Hen's struggle wasn't about can or can't, but about holding out a bit longer as a man.
Yet, just as Su Li's charm was overwhelming him, she abruptly stopped.
In place of her gentle caress was a domineering grip, making Wu Hen furrow his brows.
"You are not my Xiao Yun, are you?" Su Li's dreamy eyes turned cold.
"Uh..." Wu Hen's expression froze.
Why!!
Just a little more!
Wasn't this pure torture!
"I... I don't know how to explain." Wu Hen said hoarsely.
"I'm not a Lost One. Just tell me the truth." Su Li fixed her gaze on Wu Hen, her body half-pressing him.
"My name is Wu Hen. I just awakened in this host not too long ago." Wu Hen knew he couldn't hide anymore.
"Very well, I'll call you Little Hen from now on." Su Li nodded.
Wu Hen was a bit puzzled. Honestly, he feared Su Li would kill him once she found out!
After all, who could accept someone else's soul inhabiting their friend's body?
"Auntie, I didn't mean to." Wu Hen said awkwardly.
"No need to explain any further." Su Li said.
"I have some memories like dreams about this body, but they are fading." Wu Hen said.
"As an Awakener, the host's memories will only partially remain, not fully retained." Su Li explained plainly.
"But the feelings persist, the sense of security when I'm with you..." Wu Hen admitted honestly.
Su Li didn't respond this time.
She no longer pressed down on him but lay beside him, shoulder to shoulder, watching the fireflies flutter inside the tent.
The weak firefly light reflecting in her obsidian eyes showed a hint of sorrow.
"We are still family, a reformed one too." Su Li said.
"Oh, uh, okay!" Wu Hen responded.
Then can we continue?
"Go to sleep." Su Li said.
"Alright... um, can I ask one more question?" Wu Hen asked timidly.
"Go ahead."
"How did you see through me?" Wu Hen felt a bit unwilling, thinking he could've fooled her a bit longer.
"Even half-lost Xiao Yun wouldn't let me do that to him." Su Li said, giving Wu Hen a flick on his body.
Wu Hen winced in pain.
What a disaster!
It was his own perverted nature that gave him away!
