Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 181 - 158: Aina is entrusted to you, the pervert. Don’t bully her in the future_1
The cat-eared girl’s heavy punch hit Luo Xi’s head, leaving him dizzy and with a large amount of some unknown fluid gushing from his nose.
Luo Xi o(x﹏x)o clutched his nose.
It hurts so much!
A sweet and fishy liquid backflowed into his throat.
He actually had a nosebleed after such a long time.
With Luo Xi’s current physique, even a 1% drop in Life Value was enough to indicate how heavy Wei’er’s punch was.
Wei’er quickly followed the direction of her punch.
In the darkness, the girl frantically reached out to touch Luo Xi’s face, stuttering, "I really didn’t mean it, I didn’t know it was you just now, otherwise I wouldn’t have hit so hard, ah! So much liquid... these aren’t all blood, are they... I’m so sorry."
[Ding! Wei’er’s Guilt Value towards you +20]
[Note: Garbage Traveler, the Cat Cat is feeling very guilty about you right now, why not take advantage of this and make some lecherous requests?]
Who still has the mood to think about such lecherous things now!
Luo Xi took Wei’er’s hand from his face and said, "It’s okay, it’s just a nosebleed. Stop touching it, it’s dirty when the blood gets on your hands."
"...Hmm."
[Ding! Wei’er’s Favorability towards you +3]
Luo Xi: "..."
The favour of this tsundere cat-eared girl could always be raised by these little incidents.
After a while, Wei’er’s puzzled voice came from ahead, "Where are we? Did Hill teleport us here? It feels a bit like Mom’s workshop."
Vision was almost entirely stripped away, but hearing was still normal, and the Yuan Su within was being suppressed.
"That’s right." Luo Xi said, "The kid had taken control of you and then teleported us straight here; it seems like this place is called ’Winter Prison’."
"A prison...?"
Wei’er said anxiously, "Could he have done the same to Aina and Sister Laina...?"
"I think there’s no need to worry about that."
Luo Xi said softly, "Did you notice that if Hill just wanted to throw us here, he didn’t need to make such a big detour and wait for us to bring the person back; he could have done it long ago."
Wei’er thoughtfully said, "That’s true, and also, when that kid sent us here, he said he couldn’t refuse that adoptive father yet, asking us to hang on a bit longer. Does he have his own plan?"
Luo Xi laughed, "Very likely, after all, the effects of the snow disaster seem to have no effect on him. We can think positively; maybe he’s already freed himself from the control of that adoptive father? Maybe he’s preparing to deal a big blow to that old bastard?"
Wei’er laughed too, "You’re quite optimistic, pervert."
"We’re in this state; might as well not be so pessimistic that we wish for death instead, right? And stop calling me a pervert."
Luo Xi still held great hope for that child, Hill; the child was their only chance at gaining a high-level force.
"Let’s check out the situation here first."
Luo Xi tried to stand up, his hands propped on the ground, but as he touched something fragile like bones, he crushed it and sat back down again.
Instantly, a lot of dust-like substances were kicked up.
Dust?
Luo Xi held his breath.
Fxxk, these couldn’t all be bone ash, right?
"I’ll help you up."
Wei’er came over and helped Luo Xi up.
Then, the two began to fumble around in the pitch-dark room, but since they couldn’t see anything, they soon got separated.
"Where are you, pervert?"
"I’m here."
Whack—
Hearing the sound, Wei’er wanted to move toward it, but she bumped her head against something along the way. She reached up to touch it and realized it seemed to be a pair of hanging dead feet, swaying unsteadily.
Wei’er: (ó﹏ò｡)!
The girl’s body started shaking involuntarily.
She had seen dead bodies before, as a resident of Grey Stone Street, it was quite the opposite; she saw people freeze or starve to death every year. But in this dark place, with a rotting corpse hanging in front, it was terrifying just thinking about it!
Luo Xi waited a moment and, not hearing Cat Cat following, assumed she had gone in another direction and decided to leave her be for now.
A few minutes later, Luo Xi had measured the size of the entire pitch-black room with his steps.
This small room was about 25m x 25m, with many brittle, crunchy, unidentified objects that were stepped on. Probably they were the skeletal remains of dead bodies. Judging by the smell, they seemed to have rotted a long time ago, which suggested the place hadn’t been used in a while.
Luo Xi then came to the location of the door that had been opened earlier.
He tried to hit it with all his strength, but the door wouldn’t budge.
At that moment, Luo Xi felt something tug on his clothes.
"Luo Xi, can I hold onto you?"
Wei’er’s voice trembled slightly as she said, "It seems there are corpses everywhere, it’s all bodies, and I’m a bit scared..."
Luo Xi: "..."
Well, crap.
In his mind, Cat Cat wasn’t a girl who would be scared of corpses. Or was that just his stereotype of her?
Luo Xi thought for a moment, then turned around and took Cat Cat’s little hand that was pulling on his clothes.
Wei’er’s small hand hesitated at first, seemingly wanting to pull away, but eventually stopped, letting Luo Xi take it firmly in his own.
The warmth transmitted through physical contact was so distinct in this dark environment.
The girl’s slender little hand, when held, felt as if there were no bones in it, delicate enough to evoke pity.
The sweet scent emanating from Cat Cat also slightly cleared the murky air of the place.
[Ding! Your Happiness Level +15]
[Note: Garbage Traveler, here’s a secret for you, Cat Cat is now under your control and not likely to fight back, maybe you can try something lecherous ~]
Who would want to get lecherous in this ghostly place filled with dead bodies?
Damn Text, your sexual inclination is too weird!
Luo Xi took a deep breath.
Wei’er asked in confusion, "What’s the matter?"
"Nothing, just got annoyed by some dog. Let’s rest for a bit."
Luo Xi found a spot on the ground that was free of any objects and sat down.
With his Yuan Su sealed, it meant he couldn’t use any of the abilities he currently possessed. That foster father of Hill had locked them up in this small, unbreakable dark room, obviously planning to release them when the time came.
In that case, all he could do for now was to just let it be.
Luo Xi quickly estimated the time.
It must be around nine o’clock by now.
So, if Hill’s foster father intended to keep them locked up past midnight, he could prepare to start the rewind process.
That meant he needed to attempt... suicide.
Luo Xi fell silent for a moment.
He tried to pull his hand away, but Cat Cat on the side clung to him tighter, as if afraid he would run away.
"Luo Xi, you really won’t die, right?"
Luo Xi: "..."
How many times had Wei’er asked this question?
Luo Xi did not answer.
Wei’er tightened her grip on Luo Xi’s hand.
Speaking softly, she said, "although I’d like to stay optimistic, the current situation really doesn’t allow for optimism... If I can’t come back this time, and you can still resurrect, you should know what I mean."
"Yes, I know," Luo Xi replied.
For Wei’er, her bottom line was never her own life, but her sister Aina.
"That’s good," Wei’er said gently, and then fell silent.
Luo Xi also stopped talking and did not deliberately tease the Cat-eared Girl.
The only thing that intertwined was the warmth seeping into their hands.
Despite not knowing what dangers lay ahead.
But why did it feel so comforting?
Luo Xi was puzzled.
If Hill was not acting, then they were bound to die this time, with almost no one able to save them.
Even for himself, there could be a situation like the last time, where a rewind mistake occurred.
All these were uncertainties of the future.
Luo Xi looked towards the spot next to him.
His sight was almost completely engulfed in profound darkness.
Yet, he could ascertain there was someone there, even without the hand in his.
It was like in the darkness, where one’s gaze is naturally drawn to the place where there is light or fire.
It wasn’t correct or noble, just humble.
Yet such a sight was captivating.
Was this sense of security brought about by the girl beside him?
[Note: Garbage Traveler, I didn’t expect you to be quite an interesting person~]
Luo Xi: "..."
I’ll take that Damn Text as a compliment then.
Time kept passing by, minute by minute, second by second.
Luo Xi was also calculating time.
An hour, two hours.
Just when he was about to take out the large machete from his knapsack, ready to go through with it despite his trepidation, a heavy push of the door sounded.
At the same time, a light poured in, accompanied by a dizzying sensation of the world spinning.
Luo Xi sighed softly.
Has it come?
There should still be time left before 12 o’clock.
So there’s no rush to rewind yet.
Soon, Luo Xi realized he had been moved, and a young boy’s silhouette stood by his side, while the Cat-eared girl who had been holding his hand was nowhere to be seen.
[Ding! You have exited a special location, your synchronised time has resumed, 30 minutes remaining]
A piercing cold wind blew across his face.
Luo Xi’s eyes widened as he looked ahead.
The hazy view that normally came with his standard synchronization state dispersed at that moment, becoming extraordinarily clear.
The Divine Tree, covering the sky like a giant umbrella, stood right before his eyes, with its trunk comparable to the base of a skyscraper, glittering all over with lights like the stars, and countless snowflakes falling, painting a scene like that of a dream.
Luo Xi saw a group of well-equipped guards.
He also saw many power armors far more advanced than his own old armor.
And there was... the Rat King, holding a steel sword and eyeing a somewhat handsome man menacingly, with a smile on his face as though he intended to slice the man across from him.
None of these mattered.
Cat Cat, where was Wei’er?!
"Stop looking, she’s over there."
At that moment, Hill’s voice rang out; he stood by Luo Xi’s side, pointing ahead.
Following the direction of Hill’s finger, Luo Xi’s gaze sharpened.
The Cat-eared girl was positioned next to the Divine Tree, numerous branches lifting her up, forming a mystical pattern that entangled her. The girl looked around blankly, unaware of her whereabouts.
At last, upon seeing Luo Xi, Wei’er finally ceased her movements.
All the blankness, fear, and every bit of negative emotion in the girl turned into a smile upon seeing him.
Wei’er’s lips moved slightly without a sound, but Luo Xi felt as if he heard her voice.
— "Aina is in your hands now, don’t bully her from now on, you pervert."
Luo Xi lowered his gaze.
This silly cat.
