Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 946 - 467 Ressia: How about I become your mother? Child of the Dark Night, Ai Xue (4k)
Luo Xi sat in the smoky hole, rubbed his eyes, and his blurry vision started to clear up.
Where is this?
He looked up, the four walls of the hole encased him. The rubble rolling off the edge and the leaves fluttering down all indicated that he seemed to have arrived at a new place.
"Cat Cat, Aina, Ai Xue, Feya?"
No one responded to his call.
Only a warm beam of light seemed to reply to him as the sunlight pierced through the dense canopy above and shone on Luo Xi’s face.
"So, the rewind was successful?"
Luo Xi tried to stand up.
Then, he found that as soon as he got up, his legs went weak, and he plopped back down again.
"?"
The Yuan Su within his body, whether the Mutated or the Sublimated parts, neither responded. His powerful sensory abilities did not spread out in the slightest.
With such a frail body, he truly seemed to have become the child he once was, no longer the seemingly young boy with ample strength.
The power of Transcendence seemed to have vanished from him.
"Damn Text! Star Bell, Damn Text!... Bellatrix Ringstar!"
Luo Xi called out several times in a row.
He even outright called her by her real Divine Name.
Yet even after doing so, that Lolita who claimed she could always find him wherever he went gave not a single stir.
A true Divine Name of a deity is said to be so powerful that the mere calling of it could make Them aware, and just a fleeting glance in response was sufficient to bring divine retribution upon the caller.
This is what is meant by ’do not insult the gods.’
Even two hostile sects would not insult each other’s deities by their Divine Names, as that would be akin to courting death; at most, they would refer to them with a specific bestowed title, such as ’false god.’
Several minutes later.
The familiar text box still did not pop up. What he saw remained the same: the endlessly falling rubble of the cave and the sunlight that grew hotter on his face.
"..."
Shit.
Luo Xi’s mood fell.
He had talked a good game before, but if he was alone here having lost his transcendent abilities, the outcome was clear.
Maybe he should just lie flat and give up.
What could a young boy like him accomplish?
No, that’s wrong!
Luo Xi’s face suddenly contorted with fury as he forcefully hit his forehead.
After everything he had been through, he was no longer the person he used to be. A mere momentary hardship could not possibly make him lose heart.
Or was it that after losing his transcendence and the aid of the deities, he was just an ordinary mortal after all?
"Whatever the mess, I need to get out and see what’s going on. Staying here means waiting for death."
Luo Xi took a deep breath, pushed himself against the wall for support, grabbed the rocky edges of the cave, and began to climb with all his might.
The hole was about ten meters deep. The original Luo Xi could have leaped out with ease, but now, he had to climb up little by little.
His weak arms struggled to hold onto the protruding rocks, slipping back with almost every step he managed to climb.
Soon Luo Xi was out of strength.
His vision darkened, and his consciousness began to blur.
He could only try his best to stay awake. Thankfully, there were many uneven patches on the cave walls where he could rest for a moment, but his dwindling physical energy meant he would inevitably fall.
By the time he nearly reached the edge of the hole, his consciousness had fallen into a haze.
Luo Xi’s hands gradually lost all their strength.
His vision slowly faded to black.
"Damn Text, you wait for me... When I get back this time, I definitely want to eat chocolate-flavored ice cream, and you better not welch."
All of a sudden, a pale hand reached down from above, a tuft of snow-white color appeared over the edge of the hole, red hair cascaded down, brushing against Luo Xi’s face, and the hand grasped his shoulder just in time to pull him upward.
"Why is there a child here?"
...
...
Luo Xi sat dumbly on a soft, luxurious bed.
A high ceiling, a brilliantly gold chandelier swaying with elegance, like twinkling stars, the cotton bedding beneath him soft and thick, clearly indicating utmost opulence.
This was certainly a room belonging to the very wealthy.
Squeak—
As the door opened, Luo Xi instantly lay back down, pretending to still be asleep.
"Miss Ressia, why did you put him in your room? He’s so dirty; if you accidentally catch some disease, that wouldn’t be good."
"It’s fine, we’ll just have a priest from the church purify it later. I’ve told you, don’t tell anyone else about him, alright?"
"But Miss Ressia, why do you want to hide him? I know you are very kind, but there are surely better ways to deal with this."
"Because... he is a Variant."
"Ah? A Variant!"
"Shhh! Keep your voice down. I’ve checked, and he should be a natural Mutant Patient, but the Mutant Factor in his body hasn’t awakened yet."
"Miss Ressia, this isn’t right. The Duke would never allow a Variant to stay with us."
"That’s why I had to sneak him back here! Are you being dense?"
Lying in the bed pretending to sleep, Luo Xi found the voice of one of the girls talking to sound very familiar.
"Miss Ressia, my dear miss, please take my advice. We can take him to the small village 15 kilometers away; they accept children like him. Keeping him here is going against the Duke’s orders. He’s already impatient with you. Just now, I overheard some of the laundry maids gossiping that the Duke’s wife and your brother were discussing, discussing..."
