Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Aina’s Sorrow_1 Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Aina’s Sorrow_1 [Traveler, you hear Aina’s anxious voice and quickly climb out of the covers, racing towards the door.]
[When you open the door, you see Aina’s face filled with confusion, fear, and dread.]
The urgency of Aina’s mont even made Luo Xi feel it through the phone screen.
[The emotions disappeared within seconds after the little wolf girl saw you, a blush spread across Aina’s face as she covered her eyes and yelled, “Brother Luo Xi, you’re not dressed yet!”]
[Traveler, you suddenly rember that you went to bed last night wearing only your underwear]
[Note: Perverted suspicious traveler, it’s ti to eat peanuts!]
[“Brother Luo Xi, I left your clothes outside the door. Aina will go back to her room, just call after you’re dressed.”]
[Little Lolita tapped on the door lightly and then stepped away.]
[Traveler, you partially open the door and picked up the set of clothes Wei’er washed clean for you last night from the floor and dressed as quickly as possible.]
[The clothes were almost dry and had a scent of flowers similar to that of the two beast-eared girls.]
[Traveler, you open the door and step out, calling softly, “Aina, I’m ready.”]
[The door of the bedroom next door squeaked open, and Aina looked at you, recalling what had just happened, her face still a little red, but anxiety quickly overtook shyness. She fully opened the bedroom door and said, “Brother Luo Xi, when Aina woke up in the morning, she noticed her sister was gone, and no one was in the small room!”]
[Traveler, you walked over to take a look.]
[The bedroom bed was empty.]
[You asked, “Is it possible your sister got up early to go out shopping or had sothing to do?”]
[Aina hesitated but then shook her head firmly, denying it, “No, Wei’er would have told Aina in advance if she was going to do sothing or shop outside. She wouldn’t sneak away because she knows Aina hates that!”]
[“So, soone must have taken my sister away!”]
The little wolf girl was certain; she never once considered the possibility that her sister left on her own, especially since her mother left, her sister had never left her side without notifying her first.
[Traveler, you ask, “May I look for clues in the bedroom?”]
[Aina nodded eagerly, “Brother Luo Xi, you can check anything.”]
[Traveler, you went to the bedside and lifted the blankets.]
[Ding! Traveler, you found a snow-white hair on the bed.]
[Ding! You found a dark brown hair.]
[Ding! You found a lightweight nightgown still warm to the touch.]
[Note: Perverted suspicious traveler, stop searching. Are you looking for sothing strange to satisfy your fetishes?]
Luo Xi: “…”
[Traveler, you did not find any signs of struggle in the bedroom.]
[You said, “Let’s check the basent secret room, is there anything important there?”]
[“Yes, there are several unused skill scrolls stored there!”]
[Aina led you down to the small secret room, she moved the books on the floor, finally revealing a small box in the center of the pile.]
[Inside the box, there were a few dozen unused scrolls.]
[Aina counted them and shook her head, “The number of scrolls hasn’t changed.”]
[If the count of the scrolls has not changed, then the scrolls were not the intruder’s target.]
[So if soone indeed took Wei’er, could their sole purpose be Wei’er herself?]
[The Cat Cat’s strength, although not fully demonstrated in your presence, should make her no weaker than you. Would she have been taken down without any resistance if soone attacked her?]
[Traveler, you feel the hem of your clothing tug and turn to see Aina looking up at you with tears brimming in her eyes.]
[“Brother Luo Xi, will my sister end up like mom, never coming back?”]
[“No, your sister would never abandon you.”]
[Traveler, you gently stroked the little wolf girl’s head, then sank into thought.]
Luo Xi stared at the screen’s text, also lost in thought.
That Aina was able to sleep well until dawn also suggested that if soone took Wei’er away, their intention was likely not to take the Cat Cat’s life.
So, what was the real reason?
Luo Xi quickly rembered soone.
New text appeared on the phone screen.
[Traveler, a figure erges in your mind.]
[—The Rat King.]
[Could it have been him?]
The Rat King could curse his characters undetected in the night. Perhaps he could have taken Wei’er away in the sa manner.
But the locust plague is due tomorrow, and Wei’er had already agreed to help Aina enter Winter City using the Rat King’s channels. Would the Rat King need to take her away so clandestinely?
It would be completely unnecessary.
Is there any way…
Wait, there’s one more thing!
Luo Xi rembered his initial choice when entering the ga, the colorful talent—Moonflow·Zero Point.
If this talent were genuinely as described and he could return to the stroke of midnight today, then returning to the night, he might yet find out what happened last evening.
But achieving this required his character to die once.
[Traveler, you went to the kitchen and picked up a sharp kitchen knife.]
[However, you found you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.]
[Note: Traveler, ask yourself, do you truly have the courage to end it all yourself?]
Luo Xi paused montarily.
Even knowing he wouldn’t truly die, was his subconscious still afraid of death?
It’s a fundantal logic ingrained in the genetics of all organisms that cannot be erased.
But the solution is simple—find soone or an Origin Beast to ‘help’ him with it.
Just like the first few tis he died.
Co to think of it, since being brought back by Wei’er, the Cat Cat has saved him several tis in a row, hasn’t she?
He hasn’t died even once since then.
[Traveler, you tell Aina, “Aina, we’ll wait another half an hour. If your sister hasn’t returned by then, Brother will go out and look for her.”]
[Little Lolita nodded emphatically.]
X30.
[Traveler, you are waiting…]
After a minute felt in your senses, the ti ca.
[Traveler, you get yourself ready and prepare to head out.]
[Aina is slumped on the sofa, her tea-gold eyes sowhat vacant. Seeing you get up, she quickly says, “Aina wants to go with you!”]
[“No, wait at ho for .”]
[Traveler, you set out into the heavy snow, and after asking a passerby, you discover Noss’s residence.]
[Traveler, you turn back to look at the three-story building.]
[Amidst the swirling snowstorm, a window in the building opened, and the young girl leaned against the window watching you, her expression filled with sadness.]
