I'm doing abstract animation

After calming down, Wang Li smiled at Doro and said, "After we finish eating, I'll go buy you some oranges...or maybe some O'Runji!"

"Really?" Doro paused in her eating, a look of surprise appearing on her face, but she quickly hesitated: "But Doro promised to treat someone to EuroGentlemans..."

She thought for a moment, then felt around on her furry body and quickly pulled out a handful of banknotes—the money the old woman had given her when she took the bottles.

"Hey, let Doro treat you to O'RunJi!" she said, flashing a smile that revealed her two rows of white teeth.

"Haha, it's okay, Doro. We're family. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. We... are inseparable."

Looking at the little guy, a string in Wang Li's heart was touched. He would never have said such words before, but at this moment he said them with complete naturalness.

Perhaps it was the sight of the little girl collecting and selling bottles that stirred up his memories, making even a normally indifferent person like him feel a quiet extra care for her.

Of course, it's also possible that he had been caught in the rain before, which is why he thought of holding an umbrella for Doro when he saw her.

He doesn't need family, but weak Doro does.

And so, they became family.

Staring blankly at Wang Li, Doro's big eyes quickly filled with tears: "Human, you're so good to Doro."

"Hey, don't cry! Smile when you're happy!"

"Okay, I got it. Smile when you're happy!"

"Yes, that's how you behave!"

"hey-hey……"

The human and the beast seemed to have reached some kind of pact in this roadside diner, their hearts gradually drawing closer. What Wang Li didn't notice was that the red liquid in the tiny glass heart he had stuffed into his pocket had unknowingly increased by a third...

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Li put Doro back on his shoulder. Although the pace of life in this small town was slow, there was a lot of traffic because it was located at the border of H City and Y City, especially from Dayun. He didn't want the little guy to experience what he had gone through...

'By the way, speaking of which, is this considered a correction in the real world?'

Wang Li suddenly realized something. Although his so-called happy family was just a figment of his imagination, his stroke of luck in time travel was real. There was no mistake about that. He was very sure of it. But when he returned, he woke up in his rented room.

He also deduced the time difference based on the usage patterns of his phone and computer, and found that there was almost no time difference between the two.

It could be said that his original stroke of luck was completely reversed, and he ended up falling asleep at his computer desk.

After thinking it over, he figured it was just the real world correcting itself and then put the matter out of his mind.

After buying oranges and several bags of other fruit with Doro at the fruit shop, the two returned home.

Upon entering, both the person and the beast felt a wave of oppressive heat rush to their heads.

In this sweltering weather, coupled with the fact that his rented apartment was in a sunny area, the room felt like a sauna after a day of sunshine, making it difficult to even breathe when he entered.

He hurriedly turned on the air conditioner, and Wang Li tugged at his clothes uncomfortably. He hadn't experienced this feeling of being both hot and cold for many years. After his strength increased, he was basically immune to heat and cold. Now, suddenly experiencing this long-lost feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm going to take a shower first. Doro, if you're hot, turn on the fan, but don't let it on for too long. It's easy to catch a cold if you use air conditioning and a fan together."

"I know!"

Only after Doro obediently agreed did he feel relieved enough to go into the bathroom to take a shower.

He casually tossed the pants containing the little heart into the sink beside him. As it was shaken, the red liquid swirled around the transparent heart, then seemed to trigger some mechanism, flashing a few red lights…

That evening, after playing with Doro for a while and asking her some other questions, I put her on the pillow next to me, and she immediately fell into a deep sleep.

“Ou, Ou Runji…hehe…people…”

Doro had a smile on his face and was talking in his sleep, though he didn't know what he was dreaming about.

Wang Li smiled and planned to take another look at the little glass heart, but for no reason he felt a wave of fatigue. He rolled his eyes and fell asleep next to Doro.

In a hazy state, he had a dream.

He dreamed of Doro, or more accurately, he dreamed of Doro whom he had never met.

He saw, from an outsider's perspective, what Doro had experienced that he had not.

Doro, who hadn't yet encountered the boy, was dragging his tattered woven bag when the chubby boy kicked him hard. Doro's small body was kicked into the road like a broken doll, just as a car happened to be coming along...

Wang Li's expression remained calm, showing almost no fluctuation due to the dream.

Because he knew it was fake, and the real Doro was right beside him.

"What do you want to do?"

Ignoring the dream, he looked up at the sky and said coldly, "What do you mean by showing me this?"

It was just a dream; it couldn't affect him in the slightest. He had experienced far too many dreams before...

"Don't misunderstand, kind person, I'm just thanking you for saving my people."

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Wang Li's eyes flickered slightly. The voice was exactly the same as Doro's.

After the voice finished speaking, a bright light shone in the dream, and a huge Doro, almost as tall as a three-story building, appeared in front of Wang Li.

Unlike the Doro in the real world, this giant Doro, in addition to its enormous body, also has seven colorful circles floating above its head...

Wang Li's lips twitched slightly: "The God of Doro?"

"That's right, I, Doro, am the God of Doro!"

The enormous Doro spoke, her voice deafening like thunder.

"...Can't you shrink a little?" Wang Li's eyes twitched violently, and he unconsciously reached out to pick at his ear: "You can't hear me if the sound is too loud, don't you know that?"

The god Doro was stunned for a moment, then his body began to shrink rapidly, quickly becoming the same size as his own Doro.

"I'm sorry, human, I don't know." The God of Doro apologized sincerely, with seven colorful circles flashing like a marquee above his head.

Wang Li: "..."

He now understood why his Doro sometimes knew a lot of things, but at other times didn't even understand basic common sense.

He sighed and asked, "God of Doro, what brings you here?"

"Ah, it's nothing really..." God Doro scratched his head with his little paws in a cute way: "It's mainly because you saved my people, so I came here to thank you."

"That's it?" Wang Li was speechless. "You made such a big fuss just for this?"

"This is no small matter!" The God of Doro seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Li's words: "Every Doro is the embodiment of love. Every time a Doro dies, there will be one more person in the world who has lost love!"

An embodiment of love?

You're pretending to be a pretty girl from behind...

Although he really wanted to complain, Doro's expression was a bit serious, so he had to suppress his urge to do so.

But the next sentence from the God of Doro made his eyes widen.

"Furthermore, I noticed that your soul seems to be tainted with the aura of another dimension, so I came to take a look out of curiosity." After saying this, the God of Doro looked him over with some curiosity: "Just as I thought, you've been to other dimensions before, haven't you?"

The words of the god Doro struck him like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely stunned.

He had indeed thought that the God of Doro might be very strong, but he never expected that he would be so strong that he could see through his secrets at a glance.

He felt a surge of joy.

Traveling back to that world again... there's hope!

Dimensional Brawl: Chapter Nine - Target Confirmed!

"God of Doro, I have indeed traveled to other dimensions, but due to some complicated reasons, I have returned to my own world. May I travel to that dimension again?"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Wang Li directly admitted that he had been to other dimensions.

The god Doro stretched out a little paw and touched his chin: "It's possible, but..."

"Please tell me how to get to that world, please!" Wang Li said earnestly to the tiny Doro God. "I have a reason why I have to go there."

Looking at Wang Li's resolute gaze, the God of Doro's eyes flickered: "Human, I can feel your determination, but it will be very difficult for you to return to that place again. Even I, the God of Doro, am not confident that I can let you travel back through time again."

"I will overcome any difficulties!"

“Alright, human, your persistence has moved me. Here’s what we’ll do…” After thinking for a moment, the God of Doro said, “If you help my people collect three little hearts, I will help you return to that world.”

Did you agree so easily?

Wang Li was a little incredulous: "You...you don't have any other requests?"

The god Doro asked in confusion, "What are the requirements?"

"They just want me to give up something or something..."

The god Doro grinned, revealing his teeth like Doro: "You saved my people, so it's only right that I repay you."

Wang Li: "..."

That's too naive. Besides, with Doro's small size, he would be in danger in any world. Does the God of Doro expect to repay anyone who saves him?

Seemingly understanding Wang Li's meaning, the God of Doro explained, "We are a special kind of life form. It is difficult for us to suffer casualties in other dimensions, but the dimension you are in now is quite special."

At this point, the God of Doro suddenly slumped down, curling up into a ball and trembling: "In your current dimension, we can actually be injured or even killed by external objects. How terrifying..."

"Doro is the embodiment of love. Our existence increases with the increase of love and decreases with the decrease of love. Ordinary attacks cannot harm us, but the dimension you are in now seems to have a rule that can eliminate all special abilities except for the basic laws. That is why my clansmen experienced such an accident."

The laws of the real world...

Wang Li stroked his chin and nodded, while also asking with some curiosity, "So how did you enter my dream? You must have some kind of special ability, right?"

"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, the God of Doro immediately put his hands on his hips: "I am the God of Doro, there is nothing I cannot do!"

Wang Li didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.

“Okay…” Doro God was a little embarrassed by his gaze: “Actually, it’s because you’re special.”

"I?"

"Yes, your soul contains immense power. Although it's suppressed in this dimension, a large portion still floats on its outer edge. It's precisely because of that energy that I'm able to contact you, even if it's just in a dream..."

Sure enough, he knew his power wouldn't just vanish like that!

Hearing this news, Wang Li was somewhat excited. Although he had once reached the peak and was confident that he would quickly regain his former strength after returning to another dimension, he still did not want to waste that time if possible.

"So your purpose in having me collect hearts is to use that link to me again with the forces from beyond dimensions?"

Knowing that he still had the power to float outside this dimension, Wang Li quickly deduced the method of crossing over that the God of Doro had mentioned.

"Yes, the greatest function of love is to connect. The reason I was able to contact you is thanks to the collection item given to you by my clansman. It is through the love in it that I was able to successfully enter your dream."

"The power of love is limitless; it can even transcend dimensions. This is why we can collect love in this dimension, because the essence of love has already surpassed the level of dimensions."

Wang Linong understood.

Simply put, the reality he inhabits is a magic-free dimension, prohibiting the birth of any extraordinary beings, similar to the world where Yui and the others lived. However, the difference is that this is a dimension, far more advanced than their world, and the rules of this dimension are practically unassailable.

The love Doro collected possessed a higher dimension than that of the dimension itself. The greatest function of love is to connect, so the God of Doro successfully contacted him through the little bit of love that Doro collected, and by using his original power that remained outside this dimension as a medium.

If he wants to break through this dimension, he can only collect a large amount of love to reconnect him with the power outside the dimension, and use the fact that the two are from the same source to attract him to the dimension outside the original power.

Having figured everything out, Wang Li suddenly understood, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face: "Thank you, God of Doro, I know what to do now."

“Don’t mention it, this is a reward for your kindness.” God Doro smiled again, “Also, your love for my people is the key reason why I decided to repay you.”

My...love for Doro?

Wang Li was a little puzzled. He had spent less than a day with the little thing. Even if they had some resonance, it couldn't possibly be called love, could it?

At this moment, the body of the god Doro began to become illusory.

Is it almost time?

Wang Li didn't make a fuss; with his extensive knowledge, he immediately understood the current situation of the God of Doro.

The God of Doro didn't seem to care, and instead, as if answering his earlier question, left behind a single sentence.

"The meaning of love is broad. It doesn't have to be intense to be considered love. Sometimes love is just a simple greeting, a fleeting moment of excitement, or a simple hello between strangers. These are all forms of love..."

Is this love?

Wang Li was somewhat puzzled; what the God of Doro said was more like goodness than love.

But he had no chance to ask the question that was on his mind. After leaving those words, the God of Doro vanished, and he woke up from his dream.

It was still dark outside, with slivers of moonlight shining into the room through the window. Doro, covered by her small blanket, was fast asleep beside her, breathing rhythmically, her furry body moving up and down in a steady motion.

Reaching out from the bedside table, I picked up the little heart Doro had given me. In the moonlight, I could see that the red liquid inside had completely disappeared.

Wang Li tightly clenched the now-empty heart, then carefully placed it back on the bedside table, a smile appearing on his face.

Go to sleep, things might get busy starting tomorrow...

He closed his eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.
