“Come on, Ji, join us. There’s something you can do.”
............
"It's over now. As expected, Gai Tsutsugami is very strong. If it weren't for Shu Ouma's intervention, GHQ might have been destroyed by Funeral Parlor after Gai Tsutsugami obtained the power of the void."
At this moment, Xu Tianyun, who was observing the entire battle from a high-rise building in the distance using binoculars, said with some emotion.
"However, this has nothing to do with me. Whether GHQ or Funeral Parlor wins in the end, I will neither suffer any loss nor gain anything. What I need to think about now is how to get Void Originium. I remember that in the story, to obtain Void Originium, you need to break through a barrier protecting it. I don't know how to solve puzzles, so... it seems I'll have to find an opportunity to go to GHQ's headquarters again."
After saying that, Xu Tianyun turned and left the war-torn region.
"Captain, I'm so unwilling to accept this! How could the other side do this to us? I'll definitely get my revenge next time!" At this moment, in an abandoned building, Owen pounded the ground with his fist and said with great resentment.
At this time, not only Irving was in this state, but there was another person, Della, who was also in a low mood.
"This time my strategy failed. I didn't expect that the other side had two people who could counter you. Their abilities are not particularly strong, but they just happened to be countered. However, now that their abilities have been exposed, it won't be so easy next time."
As he spoke, the captain turned to look at Eddie beside him.
"Eddie, how's the analysis of that previous battle going?"
"We've completed the team leader's analysis. Based on the abilities shown by the other side, we currently know there are four people who seem to be the same as us. There's a high probability that there aren't any hidden individuals. In terms of abilities, one is an assassin who can become invisible, another is a man with strong regenerative abilities who can weaken anyone he touches, a third is a mage who can control tentacles that can absorb energy, and finally, there's a long-range sniper."
"The equipment is quite complete!"
"However, they probably don't have anyone with wide-area search capabilities like me. If they did, they wouldn't let us escape. So, for the next battle, we can lock onto them in advance. I've already memorized that man's appearance, and next time we'll have the first move."
"Very good, everyone, let's rest for now and wait for the next opportunity. Next time, it will be our victory."
............
"Captain Ding, I'm very sorry, I failed to do what you asked me to do before."
When Ding Muyu and the others returned to GHQ headquarters, Li Jianhua came over to them and said something.
"What's going on? Tell me."
"I originally thought Major General Yang was a reasonable person, but I didn't expect that although he showed indignation about the massacre of civilians, I could tell that he was just acting. In the end, he rejected my request because he had no evidence. There was nothing I could do about it."
"You've worked hard. This isn't your fault. If we had known this would happen, we should have recorded some videos as evidence. Everyone has worked hard today, so let's get some rest. Although we won this battle against the Dragon Returners, they didn't suffer any damage. The next battle won't be so easy."
Time passed quickly, and Ouma Shu ultimately did not accept Tsutsugami Gai's invitation.
Gai Tsutsugami didn't seem to show any displeasure, simply letting him go and allowing him to return to school and his peaceful life. It seemed everything was over, and Shu Ouma thought he would never encounter anything like this again, until...
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. We have a new student transferring to our class today. Please come in."
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the classroom door opened, and the transfer student walked in from outside.
At the same time, the classroom suddenly became noisy.
Shu Ouma then raised his head and looked at Abigail, who was standing on the podium.
He stood up in surprise.
"This can't be... real, right..."
Chapter 145 Everyday Life Gradually Fading Away
Abigail, a beautiful transfer student, is naturally quite popular.
When get out of class ended, a group of students surrounded Abigail, asking her all sorts of questions. Abigail didn't refuse and answered them all she could. However, only Abigail herself knew whether they were true or not.
"Hey, you seem to know that transfer student. Why don't you go and talk to her?"
Just as Shu Ouma was sitting in his seat, somewhat at a loss, a man came over and said something to him.
"Gu Xun, I do know her, but it's only been once."
“Oh, speaking of Abigail Williams, do you think she might be a British noblewoman?”
"Probably not."
Shu Ouma couldn't help but think of Abigail's unconventional personality; she didn't seem like the kind of person a noble lady should be.
"Perhaps."
Just then, Shu Ouma suddenly felt as if something malicious was approaching him.
"Hello, young man, we meet again. Aren't you happy to see me? There's something even more exciting coming up."
"Huh?" Shu Ouma stared blankly at Abigail, who had somehow appeared in front of his seat.
"From today onwards, we'll be living together. Please take care of me."
"Huh?" Shu Ouma stood up in surprise.
Not only Ouma Shu, but many students around him were also surprised.
"Abigail, what did you mean by that? You're going to live with Ouma Shu, what's your relationship?" A girl wearing glasses asked Abigail. Her name was Kusama Kanon, and she was the class representative.
"Hey, Shu, what's going on? How could you possibly be living with such a cute girl? Aren't you even my friend? You didn't even tell me about something this big! I'm cutting ties with you!"
Just then, a guy who looked a bit like a monkey ran over, grabbed Ouma Shu's shoulder, and said to him, "This guy is called Tamagatsu Sota, and he's a good friend of Ouma Shu."
"Um, Sota, I don't really know what happened. I've only met her once before, and there's really nothing between us!"
Seeing the excited Souta Tamagatsu, Shu Ouma, sweating profusely, explained.
"really?"
"Of course it's true."
"So what exactly is going on here?"
"Well... it's just that my family and her family know each other, so we let her stay at our house temporarily."
"Oh, I see. I thought it was something else entirely."
Hearing Souta's words, Shu Ouma breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he'd gotten away with it. He then turned to look at Abigail, and seeing her amused expression, Shu roughly understood why she'd done what she did.
When school was over, Shu Ouma left the classroom as usual. Although he remembered that Abigail had said she would live with him, seeing that Abigail had left so early, he figured that what she said before was probably just a joke.
On his way back, a shout came from behind him.
"You must be Shu Ouma. I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
Shu Ouma turned around and saw a man standing behind him.
Who are you? Do we know each other?
“You don’t know me, but I know you. My name is Xu Tianyun. I think you wouldn’t mind talking to me.”
"Xu Tianyun? What do you want to see me about? Let's talk here."
Shu Ouma said somewhat warily, "Anyone would be wary if a stranger suddenly came to talk to you."
Are you sure you want to talk here?
What exactly are you trying to say?
Sakuragi Shu was well aware of what Xu Tianyun meant, which made him even more vigilant.
“Funeral Parlor, Gai Tsutsugami,” Xu Tianyun said in a low voice to Ouma Shu.
Upon hearing those two words, Ouma Shu's pupils contracted instantly. He tried his best to appear nonchalant as he looked at Xu Tianyun.
"What are you talking about? What funeral home? And what Gai Tsutsugami? Are you trying to tell me about what happened on the news today?"
"Are you still going to play dumb? Do you need me to produce some evidence?" Xu Tianyun said with a smile.
"I don't know what you're talking about. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
Shu Ouma is quite panicked right now. If it is revealed that he once worked with Funeral Parlor, who knows what will happen?
"Looks like you're panicking. Don't worry, I won't report you. I just want to talk to you."
"I don't want to talk to you, and I have no need to talk to you. If you want to find a funeral home, go to Roppongi yourself. I have nothing to do with them."
"Really? Then why did the funeral home staff come to your school today? Weren't they here to see you? I think their name is Yuzuriha Inori."
"Huh? Ms. Yuzuriha Inori? What are you talking about? How could Ms. Yuzuriha Inori transfer to our school?"
Xu Tianyun was completely bewildered by what Ouma Shu said.
What's going on? Didn't Yuzuriha Inori transfer to Ouma Shu's school? That's not right, that's how it's supposed to be in the story. Could it be that something I don't know about has happened?
"Alright, I'm going back now. I don't have anything you want to know, so don't bother me anymore."
With that, Shu Ouma turned and left.
"Shu Ouma, remember, if you encounter any difficulties, I can help you. If you want to find me, go to the coffee shop outside your school after school, I will wait for you there."
Watching Ouma Shu leave without looking back, Xu Tianyun scratched her head helplessly.
What exactly happened? Has the plot changed? It's exactly the same as what I observed before, so where did things go wrong? Could it be the work of those two groups of people who were either reincarnators or time travelers?
Unable to understand, Xu Tianyun turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Meanwhile, even after returning home, Ouma Shu was still thinking about Xu Tianyun.
What was that guy all about? Did he really see me with Gai Tsutsugami? What should I do? He said he wouldn't report me, but...
As he was thinking, Shu Ouma opened his own door.
There's no point in thinking about it now. I have nothing to do with funeral homes anymore. Let nature take its course.
As Shu Ouma entered his home, he suddenly noticed that something seemed a little different inside.
"Why is there extra luggage?"
Shu Ouma muttered to himself as he walked into his living room. There, he saw a girl lounging on the sofa, holding a game console.
"You...how did you get here?"
Shu Ouma asked Abigail in surprise.
"Young man, you're back. Didn't I tell you this morning that I would be staying at your house? Have you forgotten?"
"No? Why? Didn't I say I wouldn't join the Funeral Parlor? Why are you still looking for me? And how did you get in?" Shu Ouma asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Do you think your lock is some kind of high-end product? It can be easily cracked. As for the funeral parlor incident, all I can tell you is that you were seen by someone. I don't remember the specifics at all. Anyway, Gai Tsutsugami will contact you later. We'll talk about it then. Alright, enough nonsense. Hurry up and get me some food. I'm hungry."
Shu Ouma looked at Abigail, who was completely treating this place as her own home, with a helpless expression. Then he turned and walked towards the refrigerator next to him.
"I said...Miss Abigail, what do you like to eat?"
