"System, how did this thing come along?" She picked up the pistol and twirled it twice in her hand.
[You mean the gun, Host?] The system appeared.
"Isn’t this only usable in one Small World?" Su Zhiruan looked at the small object, her mood somewhat brightened.
[Let me check for you]
After finishing speaking, the system disappeared.
After quite a while, it reappeared in the same spot.
[You used it infrequently in the last world, so the item can carry over for use in the next world, Host]
This was good news, so naturally, Su Zhiruan would not refuse.
[I’ll give you an empty slot so you can place the gun there. Others won’t know, and you can take it out when you need it]
"Good." Su Zhiruan sat cross-legged and spoke calmly, "Thank you."
[It’s no problem. Would you like to rest for a while, or continue with the transference?]
"I’ll rest for a while. Transfer me after I wake up." Su Zhiruan lay on the ground, surrounded by a long-missed tranquility and ease.
Before long, she fell into a deep sleep. The most update n0vels are published on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Her sleep lasted for quite some time, and during a state of half-dreaming, half-waking, she seemed to have had a dream.
There she was in the dream, along with some faces both familiar and strange.
This place was not modern, nor any world she recognized. She was certain she had never been to this world before.
But strangely enough, looking at these people’s clothing and attire, something ignited in her heart. Every time she recalled it, her head throbbed with pain.
Soon, all those scenes disappeared.
In the midst of the fog in the dream, a man appeared before her.
Su Zhiruan could not see his face clearly, but she felt an inexplicable familiarity.
Wasn’t she just an ordinary modern worker?
Why had these things suddenly popped up in her mind, cycling through like a movie of past and present lives, unceasingly playing for a long time?
Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly heard a familiar mechanical voice.
[Prepare for transference——]
The next second, Su Zhiruan woke up from the dream.
She lowered her gaze, her face expressionless. After slowly spreading her palm, she realized it was covered in sweat.
"Let’s go." She stood up, engulfed in the system’s glow, and in an instant, she vanished from the spot.
After transferring her away, the system flew to the location she had been.
Soon, it sensed a very familiar powerful force emerging within the System Space.
Accompanied by immense intimidation, although the force was not deliberately exerted, the overpowering aura continued to press down.
The system was suppressed on the ground, only managing to strain its eyes towards the newcomer, even the typically emotionless mechanical voice now carried a shudder.
"Has she left?" The man’s expression was indistinct, his face shrouded in bright light, making him hard to see for the system.
In a moment of bowing, the system felt as if it received a divine mercy. It immediately replied.
[The Host has just left]
After speaking, it mustered more courage to add another line, [You... should go in too]
"I know." The man swept his sleeve, and instantaneously, the appearance of the Small World where Su Zhiruan currently resided formed, and he gathered his sleeves.
The gold and silver radiance of his garments trailed behind him. Circles of light surrounded him, clearly not an ordinary person, an existence beyond what the system could ever aspire to reach.
He simply sat in the System Space. The system dared not look at him or speak, only cautiously shrinking back waiting to be addressed.
"She hasn’t changed," the man in splendid attire lowered his gaze, then after a while added, "She always knows what she wants."
He spoke partially, then stopped.
The system wanted to speculate, but it dared not, considering he was its boss’s boss’s boss.
Although it was curious about the Host’s romantic history, considering the current circumstances, it was certainly not the time for curiosity.
The system tactfully reminded him.
[Half a year has already passed in the Small World]
The noble Immortal murmured softly, then with a sweep of his sleeve, he disappeared from the spot.
The system then breathed a sigh of relief.
The flow of time in the System Space differed from that of the Small World; just like the recent period, where Su Zhiruan had already spent half a year in the Small World.
The Host had just bound the system, and due to concerns, the Lord insisted on waiting for her to settle first before he would enter.
The system shook its head and clicked the sleep button to begin hibernating.
Human emotions, it did not understand.
