Chapter 288: Returning to the Old House

“Mo Li, is there anywhere you’d like to go?”

“Mo Li only wants to be by her elder brother’s side.”

“So …… Krysia, what about you?”

“Not really, Mentor.”

“Ugh. So, what about you, Ailee?”

“There are no areas I want to visit, no sights I want to see, just to continue to serve you.”

Purchasing is over.

The Xu system walked out of the mall’s doors, followed closely by several Supreme.

Or cold and sinful, or calm as ice, or passionate like fire, or elegant and peaceful.

The Xu system inquired.

Would like to see a couple of the girls, if there is anything of interest, and visit them together if there is.

But sadly, the answer was all no.

“What about me, what about me.”

“Sir, you haven’t asked me yet!” , Wu Ying Xue’s eyes widened in disbelief that Department Xu would skip her alone.

Tom-Tom–

The Xu system flicked the Sheriff’s forehead with a slight force.

The tone was helpless, “Do you still need to ask, going out more often than me, I’m afraid that you haven’t already strolled all over the earth.”

“Hey, that’s true.”

The Sheriff smiled sarcastically.

Rubbed his forehead.

Loud crowds, running children, laughter mixed with playful jokes.

There is still some time before the New Year.

But the city of Diffractive Hill in winter, in that snowy, misty light, has already shown some festive splendor, and the boisterous sound of people echoed in and out of the streets.

More importantly.

It is the wind and snow that are not as bitter as they were earlier.

The Xu system stretched out his hand, and the snowflake that landed in his palm was only mildly a touch large.

“In that case, let’s just walk around.”

Several of the girls didn’t want to go anywhere.

The Xu system thought about it.

Solely take it for a spin around the neighborhood.

Anyway, it was still early in the day, and there was really nothing to do back at the courtyard.

Walking, moving through the wind and snow.

Step and repeat in the cycle of years and months.

Under the influence of the magical trickery, no walkers noticed the Xu system, and the few girls following close behind.

The thin figure was unobtrusive in the wind and snow.

Just walking.

There was a pause in the Xu system’s pace.

The signs of the nearby stores and the bustling shoppers of the stores brought back memories from long ago.

[Taiji Bun Shop]

“Nenri Haircut House

[Fighting Horse Vocational Training School (New Fighting Wings)]

Familiar signage, familiar taglines, and a familiar layout.

“Walking around what was once an old house without realizing it?”

Looking at the stores of all shapes and sizes on both sides of the street, combining Earth’s native and transcendent systems, Department Xu was first stunned, then laughed out softly.

Thinking about the past a lot.

The courtyard where the Hsu system now resides.

It was at the end of the second simulation that the occupancy was replaced.

Until then, the Xu system had lived in a cramped old house, observing the outside world from the window in the embarrassing position of a wheelchair.

Passive.

Helpless.

In the alternating light of day and night, watch in silence every change in the world outside.

Now that I think about it, that’s extremely far away.

“Come what may, go back and take a look, just so you can check to see if anything is wrong in the old house.”

“Maybe the appearance of the simulator is still connected to the house.”

Xu System thought in his mind.

Take a step towards what used to be home.

On the way, while passing the bakery, he bought some food for a couple of the girls.

Quite unexpectedly, the sister, the Sheriff, and the Witch got into some disagreement over the flavor of the tofu brain at the bakery.

My sister likes sweet drinks.

The Sheriff likes salty drinks.

Witch likes to drink bitter.

“Ailee, aren’t you going to eat?” , the Xu system looked over at the machine servant who hadn’t made a sound.

The winter sun is not as hot as it is in the summer, nor is it as gorgeous with its interplay of light and shadow.

But in a world of pure white clarity, everything is reflected flawlessly.

Ankle-deep in a snowy path that flooded Ailee’s feet, she stood still and shook her head at the Xu system.

“I don’t need to, Master.”

In the fourth simulation.

Loyal machine servants, being intelligent devices, don’t need to eat, and there’s no point in doing that.

And now that the Machine Servant has ascended to the Eternal Supreme, creating a true body for himself, he has long since disregarded the cycle of life.

She’s not in the habit of eating.

There is also no need to eat.

Unless it’s a dish made by the Hsu family.

“Is that so, then I’ll find some time later and let you try my handiwork”, Xu said with a smile, reaching out and gently rubbing Ailee’s hair.

Snowflakes are flying and disorienting.

But the snowflakes that landed on the head of the machine’s servant were all stirred up by the high-frequency trembling of his ears.

“Yes, Master.”

“Ailee will be waiting.”

The machine servant wore a happy expression that was well understood.

Next.

Xu tied with a few girls and walked towards the old house that used to be there.

Mental energy solidified and solidified, mimicked into the shape of a key, inserted into the door lock, and lightly twisted the handle.

One more gentle push.

Dusty gates that have been unoccupied for a long time.

It just shook open with flying dust, creaking and rattling, the rusty bolts of the door harsh and noisy.

What came into view was a small, slightly dimly lit room with an empty interior and few items present.

Useful early to be brought to the courtyard by the Hsu system.

What’s left is nothing more than worthless odds and ends, and useless things that will never be used again.

Such as the Department of the once old partner, a cheap folding wheelchair.

In the corner, the wheelchair was folded up, looking worn and decrepit with a thick layer of dust covering the metal surface.

“Purification.”

Kryssa flicked her finger up.

Invisible waves swept quickly across the room.

While removing all the dust, it also purifies the dreary air, giving the dilapidated room a new look, without the previous dirty look.

“Thanks, Krysia.”

The Xu system thanked him.

He stepped inside and surveyed his former residence, his eyes full of complexity and emotion.

Who would have thought that the self that does well in a life of dullness would be lucky enough to get a good life simulator and be able to change that life of despair.

“The wonders of fate are no more than that.”

The Xu system’s thoughts lapsed into a lamentation of the past.

A few of the girls’ attention, by comparison, was focused more on the wheelchair.

“Brother, is this what you used to use?”

Mo Li’s tone turned a little cold.

As an afterthought, she reacted to something.

Xu System had the ability of reincarnation and healed his legs on his own, but that former disability had indeed plagued Xu System for many years.

Perhaps.

She should revise the past.

Cut that culprit down?

“Well, that’s what I used to use, but you guys don’t have to care, that’s in the past.”

The Xu system came back to his senses and laughed, making a few of the girls give up their crusade against the culprit.

The source of the aura recovery is the Life Simulator.

The girls couldn’t even find it.

Not to mention hacking up the simulator.

Of course, if that day really came, Department Xu wouldn’t mind cutting himself.

Let the simulator experience the wrath of what it means to be a sacrifice.
