Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 177 Return to Fuyuki City

"It's flowing backwards!"

Bai Zemin said with a look of relief, "It's a day earlier than I expected. Luckily, I was cautious enough to go to Mount Yuge in advance and have Lucy check the condition of the volcano."

"Otherwise, I'll be reverted to my state a year ago by Qi Shen!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Lucy?"

Bai Zeming said embarrassedly, "It's my smart home assistant."

"I see."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "A good name!"

After saying that, he looked at Bai Zemin with interest and said, "However, things shouldn't be that simple, right? Since you've already gone to Yuge Mountain beforehand, why are you in such a hurry, as if someone is chasing you..."

"Ah~"

Bai Zemin sighed and said with a wry smile, "It's my fault, really. Relying on the psychological protection of the chat group, I was just curious and wanted to meet the famous God Qi..."

"And then, did you see him?"

"I saw him, but the plot took a slight turn. Qi Shen didn't come alone; he was accompanied by classmates from the private PK Academy. They're probably here on vacation together..."

Speaking of Saiki Kusuo's amazing classmate, Bai Zeming couldn't help but sigh deeply.

There isn't a single normal person around this guy. The only one who can be considered an ordinary person is Sato, who is a "concept god"—meaning he's extremely ordinary in everything he does, even managing to get an average score across all subjects in exams.

Moreover, his luck was consistently average, and even the jinxes of bad luck couldn't shake it.

If Sato is like that, then others are even more so, especially the female lead, Teruhashi Kokomi, who is portrayed as a perfect girl blessed by the gods, possessing super good luck that even Saiki Kusuo cannot stop.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the whole world revolves around her!
Lin Yu said with a strange expression, "Let me guess, the one who made you look so disheveled, it wasn't Teruhashi Kokomi, was it?"

Bai Zemin nodded with a bitter face and sighed, "After all, I am meeting God Qi, so I have to be careful. That's why I put on my armor in advance and hid it under my trench coat before I dared to show myself in front of God Qi."

"It just so happened that I arrived at a bad time. At the time, only Teruhashi Kokomi was with Qi Shen. This girl probably felt that I was disturbing her and Qi Shen's private time, so she wanted me to stay away. Then, my battle armor inexplicably malfunctioned, the thrusters suddenly went out of control, and I flew into the sky in full view of everyone..."

That wasn't all. Seeing that Bai Zeming had attracted everyone's attention, Qi Mukuro thought this was a good opportunity. So, while everyone and Teruhashi Kokomi were still in shock, he teleported away.

Bai Zemin noticed this and immediately understood that Qi Shen must have gone to deal with the volcano.

So he hurriedly had Lucy repair the thrusters, and they stumbled through the air to the top of the volcano, where they happened to see Kusuo Saiki standing up in disappointment...

Seeing this, Bai Zemin immediately realized that Qi Mu Kusuo had also failed this time and was probably about to rewind time. So he quickly tagged Lin Yu in the group, wanting to get out of this world before time reversed.

"...That's roughly how things are."

Bai Zemin smiled bitterly, clearly having developed some psychological trauma from the superhuman squad around Qi Mu Nanxiong.

That's true. Simply being powerful isn't that scary, but someone like Kokomi Teruhashi, who's at the level of a concept goddess, is indeed a bit too much like a supermodel...

This time, only the thruster malfunctioned, but next time, it could be the reactor.

"interesting!"

Lin Yu looked at Bai Zemin with great interest, thinking that when he entered that world in the future, he would definitely have to go and see it for himself.

Bai Zemin was naturally unaware of Lin Yu's inner thoughts. After recounting his experiences, Lin Yu finally turned his attention to the magnificent palace before him.

Seeing the jade bricks beneath his feet shimmering with magical light, and the scene of clouds and immortal mountains outside the gates of the Reincarnation Pavilion, Bai Zemin couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his expression one of shock and disbelief.

"...This is the dojo that the big shots mentioned?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Yu smiled and waved, then teleported Bai Zeming to the Treasure Pavilion.

He had originally planned to show Bai Zemin around, but now time had reversed and the Fifth Holy Grail War had begun again, so there was no time for Bai Zemin to wander around his inner universe.

"In short, let's implant a spiritual root in you first!"

……

……

About two hours later, a flash of silver light appeared in the sky above Mount Yuge, and a silver-red figure appeared out of thin air. It was Bai Zemin, who had already implanted a spiritual root into his inner universe.

Looking down at the supervolcano brewing its fury, Bai Zemin felt fortunate.

Luckily, he had anticipated this and put on his armor in advance; otherwise, he would have had to experience a cordless disco as soon as he returned!

At this time, Saiki Kusuo had long since disappeared from Mount Ogiri.

Bai Zemin pondered for a moment and decided to first confirm whether time had reversed.

The quickest way would naturally be to investigate in the nearest Shinobu Prefecture, but considering that this was a place of great concern to Qi Shen, he really didn't want to risk encountering Qi Shen, so he cautiously bypassed Shinobu Prefecture and flew to Shenshan City.

Soon after, he arrived at his rented room in Shenshan City.

He took out his key, opened the door, and found the room's decor completely different. The walls were covered with posters of cartoon characters, and there were unwashed underwear and...bras on the washing machine.
Bai Zemin smirked, immediately closed the door, and turned to leave as if nothing had happened.

He had heard from the landlord that the previous tenant of this room was a girl.

"It seems time has reversed!"

Bai Zeming sighed inwardly, a complex emotion welling up within him.

After a year, he is finally going back to Fuyuki City!

This time, he not only mastered extraordinary power, but also possessed the strongest skill in history—summoning chat group big shots.

With such confidence, even if we don't speedrun the Holy Grail War, we should at least avenge the previous three defeats, right?

Thinking of this, Bai Zemin couldn't help but smile. He found a corner to put on his armor, then soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of Fuyuki City in his memory.

……

……

Fuyuki City, Homurahara Academy, High School Student Council.

A boy with short, reddish-brown hair was squatting on the ground, repairing the heater in front of him. Beside him was the student council president, Ryuudou Kazunari, with short purple hair and a gentle demeanor.

Looking at his friend who was helping to repair the heater, Ryudong Kazunari sighed and said, "It's a good thing you're here. If the heater hadn't been fixed before the final exams, I would have been in big trouble!"

"Nothing, this is what I should do."

Emiya Shirou chuckled and replied, then casually asked while fixing the heater, "By the way, I haven't seen Shiro Zemin today. Is he sick?"

“Bai Zeming…”

Ryu Dong-ichi pushed up his glasses and pondered, "Is it that Chinese transfer student in your class?"

Emiya Shirou paused in his work, then turned and smiled, "Yes, he's a nice guy, and we get along quite well..."

Liu Dongyi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "With your easygoing personality, anyone could get along with you!"

Emiya Shirou shook his head and said, "It's different. Haku is rather aloof. Apart from me, he doesn't seem to have any friends."

Liu Dongyi suddenly realized, "So you're worried that if he gets sick, no one will visit him, so you want to go visit him yourself?"

Emiya Shirou nodded and said, "If he really is sick."

"As expected of Emiya Shirou!"

Liu Dongyi sighed, then shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I really don't know. However, I can help you find his family's contact information. Is that alright?"

"That'll be troublesome!"

Emiya Shirou looked grateful, then continued to concentrate on repairing the heater.

Before long, the heater was repaired, and Shirou Emiya stood up and turned to look at Issei Ryudo.

Liu Dongyicheng smiled and handed over a note: "Thanks to you, the heater was finally fixed before the end of the semester. Here, this is Bai Zeming's mother's phone number."

"Thanks!"

Emiya Shirou took the note, glancing at the phone number on it as he walked out of the student council.

As he reached the stairs at the corner of the corridor, a familiar voice came from below, catching his attention.

Emiya Shirou immediately looked up, his brows furrowed as he gazed at the blue-haired boy surrounded by two girls on the stairs.

"Shenji..."

Shinji Matou paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Still at school, Emiya?"

Emiya Shirou, recalling Matou Sakura's injuries that morning, said in a deep voice:

"I have something to tell you. Come with me for a moment."

"what?"

Shinji Matou frowned, then spread his hands and said, "Sorry, as you can see, I'm very busy right now. We can talk about this later if we're bored!"

As he spoke, he smiled and said to his two female companions, "Let's go, ladies."

Emiya Shirou said again, "Wait, Shinji, it's about Sakura's injured wrist!"

Shinji Matou's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "What? What did you say about Sakura?"

Emiya Shirou frowned and said, "Don't play dumb, you're doing this to Sakura again—"

Shinji Matou interrupted impatiently, "How would I know about that guy!"

Emiya Shirou calmly said, "You are siblings..."

Before the words were finished, a somewhat familiar figure walked over from the bottom of the stairs.

Emiya Shirou was slightly taken aback, but quickly recognized the indifferent-looking black-haired boy.

"Bai Zeming?"

Emiya Shirou stared blankly at his classmate below, who was even taller than he remembered.

"I was just about to look for you. You... you've grown taller again?"

"No, there isn't."

Bai Zemin shook his head, stopped, and stood on the step one floor below Matou Shinji. He glanced at him with a downcast gaze and said indifferently, "I've always been this tall."

"..."

Shinji Matou's face darkened, as if he felt humiliated.

Just as he gritted his teeth and turned around, intending to retaliate against the transfer student, Bai Zemin suddenly moved, clenching his right fist and slamming it hard into his abdomen.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, Shinji Matou's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground clutching his stomach, writhing in agony like a maggot, groaning in pain.

The two girls next to him froze for a moment, then let out a terrified scream.

Bai Zemin frowned slightly and gave them a cold look.

The two girls were immediately terrified and trembled all over, and couldn't help but turn around and run away.

Emiya Shirou was also taken aback and quickly stopped him, saying, "Shiro, what are you doing?!"

Bai Zemin glanced at Matou Shinji on the ground and said indifferently, "I already warned him not to block my way, but he insisted on blocking the way himself, so he can't be blamed for it!"

what?
Shinji Matou's eyes widened in anger, and he forced out a sentence through gritted teeth, enduring the pain.

"When...did...you...remind...me?!"

"Eye."

Bai Zemin pointed to his eyes, then ignored the raging, powerless maggots at his feet, stepped over them, and looked earnestly at Emiya Shirou ahead:

"Let's go, I also have something to tell you."
