Chapter 52 So-called Citizens
Ji Mo never imagined in his life that he would be half-dead and created in another world.
Just as the blue-haired woman, transformed into a bolt of lightning, crashed into him, he braced himself for a handbrake, but the anticipated immense force never materialized. The instant the front of the car touched his hand, a feeling of weightlessness swept over him, as if the laws of gravity had temporarily failed in this area.
In the blink of an eye, the person was in another unfamiliar world, and the truck that caused the accident had already driven away with the accelerator floored.
Ji Mo: "..."
He gazed at the sky for a moment, then lowered his head to rub his temples in thought. Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he asked Jiu Chonglou, who had also been injured, "Why didn't you stop it?"
The one with weak teleportation is Ji Mo. With Jiu Chong Lou's rich skill set, there are a hundred ways to interrupt the teleportation when the Great Fortune is activated.
"Don't you want to know what the world she painstakingly created for us is like?" Jiu Chonglou's eyes seemed to say "fun" in a way that could be interpreted as two separate words: "Anyway, we can go back anytime."
To put it bluntly, their strength is enough to dominate 95% of the world. In the face of absolute power, any fancy tricks will only arouse the interest of a cat playing with a mouse.
Even the escape of the Blue Grand Transport was nothing more than Jiu Chong Lou's indulgence.
Jiu Chonglou had already memorized the other party's information, so even if she fled to the ends of the earth, finding the exact coordinates would only take a breath.
Now that things had come to this, Ji Mo had nothing to say but sigh. "However, I never expected that she was the same person as Da Yun from back then."
After calming down yesterday, You Tianding confessed the whole process of his time travel to them, mentioning that he was knocked unconscious by a large vehicle and found himself in a research institute in another world.
Ji Mo initially thought it was a staged accidental death, using a fake corpse to replace a living person, making You Tianding appear to die in society, so as to prevent the authorities from discovering the trafficking.
However, according to data retrieved from the scene, the Universiade did indeed lose control at one point, but thanks to the driver's frantic swerving and braking, only the buildings along the street and the driver himself were damaged. It was around that time that You Tianding disappeared, and rumors subsequently circulated that he had absconded with the money, abandoning his own mother.
Looking back now, Da Yun did indeed bump into You Tianding, but just like the collision with the two people, his purpose was merely to complete the prerequisite of physical contact for transmission.
"When you encounter someone who is easy to fool, use the appearance of a human female to approach them; when you encounter a difficult target, use a lucky charm to create an accident." Ji Mo's guess is almost the same as the truth.
"Not only that, but I only realized one thing after seeing her in person." Jiu Chonglou gazed into the distance, as if he could accurately see the blue woman's movements. "We were wrong from the beginning. It's not that the immigration office is infiltrated by locals, but that the teleportation device is the one we asked for help from."
The last time was when Jiu Chonglou brought up the fact that Zhang Qixuan was from the Weifan Realm, and she seemed to be able to sense whether the other party came from the same world.
Ji Mo didn't think Jiu Chonglou would have the time to memorize the population database; she was more inclined to believe that Jiu Chonglou had other means of verification.
As if hearing Ji Mo's thoughts, Jiu Chonglou retorted, "When did I say that being a citizen of the mortal realm meant having legal citizenship?"
In the mortal realm, dynasties have changed hands, and each new ruler inherits and discards certain things—some are outdated laws, others are the division of power. Regardless, the sword of the previous dynasty should not be used to kill those of the present.
Suppose a person, a blood relative of the Sheng Dynasty's royal family, disappears into another world during the current dynasty. Rebels in the Shuo Dynasty annihilate the Sheng Dynasty's royal family, completely denying the previous dynasty's rightful power, practically reducing all those related to the royal family to the lowest social class. If this person then happens to return, would the Shuo Dynasty rulers be willing to recognize this person's legitimate citizenship, rather than repeat the fate of this blood relative?
Following this logic, the current world government would not recognize the unfortunate soul from the previous dynasty who unfortunately traveled through time as a citizen of the mortal realm.
While the possibility of someone who transmigrated from over 120 years ago and hasn't even reached level 3 is slim, it's not zero. Besides, transmigrators can have descendants, who might inherit the desire to return home. It would be too cruel for someone with only half a blood relation to not even have the chance to visit the mortal realm.
Not to mention the existence of unregistered individuals whose biological fathers are unaware of their existence and whose biological mothers dare not reveal it.
"That's why I say he's a citizen of the mortal realm, not a citizen of any dynasty or government." Jiu Chonglou closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something, but his explanation didn't stop: "This person carries the fortune of the mortal realm, so he is a citizen of the mortal realm. And in some cases, if an individual carries strong enough fortune, his descendants or closely related offspring will also be considered citizens of the mortal realm."
This explains why people from the mortal realm who want to immigrate through legitimate channels are often looked down upon by the local world.
Stripped of the protective aura of this realm, this person's potential for the future is effectively drastically reduced.
"Luck, that thing, favors intelligent life forms. If it's just created in the mortal realm and then transported to another world, no matter how much it becomes sentient, it can't become a citizen. Otherwise, why would the immigration bureau need to kidnap living people? Wouldn't it be better to just buy up large quantities of luck?"
Now that things have been said, Ji Mo would be a fool if he still didn't understand.
The blue-haired woman must have had extensive contact with a citizen of the mortal realm, and it's even possible that person personally created her and put in a lot of effort to gain the mortal realm's recognition of her existence.
"When creatures are driven to the brink of despair, they always head towards places they perceive as offering a sense of security." Jiu Chonglou conjured a lantern, its faint light enveloping the two of them as he smiled broadly. "Let's go, we should put some pressure on our lovely Dayun."
……
Lan Yun remembers this world.
This is the third world they have traveled to together. Pollution has induced the life here, causing them to abandon their physical bodies in the face of frequent and endless natural disasters, transforming them into structures similar to mud monsters. From then on, they will not suffer from hunger or bloodshed, and can survive even when the sky collapses, the earth cracks, or floods wash away their lives.
With just one embrace, a kindred spirit is born, countless lives merge into one, complex thoughts eventually become singular, leaving only the desire to reproduce.
They devoured life, devoured villages, devoured the whole world.
The whole world is a giant mud monster.
But at that time they did not know the truth. They encountered a companion who had lost his memory and was looking for his hometown village. On the way to understand the truth of the world, even when the companion often had no appetite, stared blankly at the horizon, or was not thinking, it was all mistaken for symptoms of impending death.
After all, before they met them, their companions were already on their way to find their hometown. Without medicine or supplies, their deteriorating health was inevitable.
Thinking of this, the light in Lan Yun's eyes dimmed considerably. When the truth was revealed, it was as if a heartless person finally realized the reality that he had already died. The last bit of obsession in this world was destroyed, and the desire to devour could no longer be concealed. They could no longer care about the grief of their companions' deaths and turned into a frantic chase.
Who would have thought that his return would be to use the world's life-devouring underlying code to harm people?
Lan Yun hid in the shadows, quietly waiting for the long-dormant world to be awakened by the life force of these two, eagerly tearing the earth apart to devour them.
The earth was indeed torn apart.
Ji Mo bent down and slammed his fist into the ground.
There was no roar, only disintegration.
The ground shattered like glass, cracks spreading rapidly like a spider web, turning soil and rocks into dust wherever they went, creating fissures that reached as deep as the Earth's core.
The surrounding space was also torn open by pure force, and outside the opening was a surging void that devoured light and sound.
The heavens and earth trembled, emitting mournful cries of unbearable burden.
Then, she met Jiu Chonglou's gaze and heard him in the distance commanding the temporarily tamed beasts: "Either we eat her, or we'll beat you to pieces."
The next second, Lan Yun suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from the ground beneath his feet.
"Alas?!"
