Chapter 215: People Who Can't Return to Their Hometown
After returning to her residence, Yang Liu took out a seemingly ordinary pendant from her strange little suitcase based on the instructions of Koizumi Ling No. 2 who had just woken up.

Yang Liu spent a lot of time searching the suitcase, because the suitcase looked small from the outside but had quite a lot of space inside.

According to Koizumi Ling No. 2, it was a space equipment that she had spent a lot of effort to fix.

Under normal circumstances, Koizumi Ling No. 2's spatial ability is not as simple as just a space jump. At least it can expand the space or use space distortion to kill the enemy.

The reason why she looks so weak now is because she is in the "low period" after her abilities went out of control.

The process of being excluded from the existing parallel world is actually the process of her ability recovery. Conversely, if she overuses her spatial ability to forcibly increase her recovery speed, her existence in this world will also be shortened.

After a short rest on the way, Koizumi Ling No. 2 is now barely awake. She took the pendant from Yang Liu's hand, stumbled to the bathroom and turned the shower to the maximum. However, the sound of water could not cover up the crisp sound of the blood vessels bursting in her body.

As clear blue light flashed from the pendant, the injuries on Koizumi Ling No. 2 recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But at the same time, bruises climbed up her collarbone like vines, and the golden power trembling under her skin broke through her capillaries one by one - that was the uncontrollable power caused by her rapid recovery and being repelled by the space of this planet.

She grabbed the toiletries beside her and applied them frantically, but the porcelain white bottle exploded under the uncontrolled energy in her palm, and the lotion mixed with blood flowed along the tiles to the floor drain.

"Do you need a Band-Aid?"

After tossing and turning in the bathroom for a long time, when Koizumi Ling No. 2 was about to walk out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, Yang Liu's voice squeezed in from the gap of the door on the other side at the right time.

Koizumi Ling No. 2 was frightened and shuddered. The moment the bath towel slipped off, the centipede-shaped sutured wounds on her back were exposed to the steam.

She pulled the shower curtain and turned around suddenly, but only saw Yang Liu's back leaning against the door.

Koizumi Ling No. 2 blushed and breathed a sigh of relief. After putting on her bath towel, she suddenly opened the frosted glass door of the bathroom.

"Are you feeling heartbroken?" She tilted her head and squeezed out her dimples, as if trying to pretend to be normal, "Then just give me a kiss~"

But whether it was her wet long hair stuck to her bleeding collarbone or her pale, bloodless face, her "liveliness" seemed particularly fake.

Yang Liu glanced at her and said nothing more, but threw a clean shirt to her: "The meal is ready, eat first."

When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror. The new wound on Koizumi Ling No. 2's back was constantly oozing light red liquid. That was the inflammatory substances that were being continuously discharged from her body, indicating that her internal injuries were healing rapidly.

“Hehehe… Have you been ready for this? What a dangerous man~” Koizumi Ling No. 2 put on his clothes and came to the living room with a pale face.

Smelling the burnt aroma of muffins wafting in the living room, Koizumi Ling No. 2 was slightly startled. Looking at the muffins piled on the plate on the table with honey squeezed on them, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

"Why did you think of eating this?"

"Time is tight, and you just bought pancake mix, which is the most convenient thing to make."

Yang Liu cut a piece of butter and put it on the muffin, then scooped a spoonful of strawberry jam and poured it on it, then handed it to Koizumi Ling No. 2.

Glancing at her expectant eyes, Yang Liu thought for a moment and said what was in his mind: "Besides, you also wanted to eat pancakes before, right? So I made them for you. This is my apology for my mistake this time."

Xiaoquan Ling No. 2 then smiled with satisfaction, took the pancake handed over by Yang Liu, cut off the piece with the most honey and put it in his mouth, with a happy smile on his face:
"It's so delicious. I'll forgive you this time for the sake of such delicious food!"

"That's good." Yang Liu smiled. ...

……

At night, the aroma of burnt pancakes in the living room has not yet dissipated.

Xiaoquan Ling No. 2 huddled in the corner of the sofa. She fell asleep unconsciously, the moonlight cutting through the gap in the curtains, and she suddenly twitched in her sleep:

"Mom, Dad... don't abandon me..."

Yang Liu put away the information she had collected in the underground laboratory, looked at the trembling Koizumi Ling No. 2 and sighed slightly.

When I talked with Koizumi Ling No. 2 before, she said that when she was young, she awakened her ability and traveled to a parallel world and then returned to her original world.

But Yang Liu is no longer the newcomer who knew nothing about the extraordinary world. After discussing with Sasaki Reiko, he confirmed his idea - Koizumi Ling No. 2 might never have returned to his real hometown.

Koizumi Ling No. 2 said that after the period of her ability going out of control is over, she will return to her original world due to spatial repulsion and her former anchor point.

The question is, what is an anchor?

This thing sounds very high-end, but it can actually be explained in one sentence: the so-called anchor point is something that can distinguish one's own world.

Simply put, the so-called spatial anchor point of Koizumi Ling No. 2 is actually her "memory" of that world.

This leads to a very serious problem. Koizumi Ling No. 2's ability awakened when she was about six or seven years old. It goes without saying what the memory of a child of that age would be like.

Children have no concrete understanding of the world, and it is easy for them to add their own imaginations to their memories. If this is combined with their already vague memories, it is easy to imagine how small the chances of them finding their true hometown in the endlessly similar parallel worlds are.

Yang Liu couldn't imagine how much of a blow a six or seven-year-old child would feel when he suddenly traveled to another world alone, endured ten days with untold hardships, and finally thought he could go home and act cute with his loving parents, but found out that this time he had "returned" to another world.

If she saw a parent who was not her own and another self, she would probably break down...

As long as you survive the ten-day period of your ability going out of control, you can return to your own world. Is that equivalent to a free trip to a parallel world every two or three months?

Bullshit!

From the perspective of Koizumi Ling No. 2, it might be necessary to make two compulsory trips to parallel worlds every two or three months, and to face new dangers and fears in each new world.

Beneath the seemingly charming and happy face lies endless loneliness and fatigue.

"No... maybe for her, in order to find her true hometown, traveling twice a month is still too little."

Yang Liu looked at her tenderly and reached out her hand to touch her head. Her warm palm gradually calmed the trembling body of Koizumi Ling No. 2.

“You’ve worked hard…”
