My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Author: Butylene

Summary:

My name is Elune.

Because the Moon, a supernatural pathway of the higher sequence, was awakened, it received too much information at once, causing its physical body to temporarily fall into a deep sleep.

Although I've become a vegetable, I should be able to recover in a year or two. I'm sure my family will take good care of me during that time.

What? They're going to marry me off?

Do you want me to get married while I'm in a vegetative state?

But who would marry someone in a vegetative state?

They're definitely after our family's money; a bunch of greedy, opportunistic scoundrels!

Oh no, my marriage prospect has arrived. His name is Weiss, and he's definitely the kind of despicable and shameless guy. I need to use my abilities to find out what he's really thinking.

Weiss: "What, you want me to marry a person in a vegetative state? That's a bit too sacred. Do you feel anything for it?"

Weiss: "By the way, if I were a vegetarian, would eating a person in a vegetative state be illegal?"

Elune: "? No, this is the only one I absolutely cannot!! Death, move now!!"

A few seconds later, the entire audience gasped in surprise.

"It moved! Miss's hand moved!!"

"The reaction is so strong, it must be love at first sight, right?"

"He's the one! We'll get married tonight!!"

Elune: Help!

Chapter 1: Elune

Moonlit City, Upper District, Serenenis's Mansion.

The night was as still as water, and the silvery moonlight shone through the curtains, giving the entire bedroom a hazy, holy feel. On the windowsill sat a bunch of half-dried white flowers, their petals curled up into thin sheets, still emitting a faint fragrance.

By the moonlight, a young girl was sleeping peacefully on a large bed covered with white silk.

She wore a moon-white silk nightgown, with delicate silver embroidery on the neckline. The skirt spread out on the silk bedding, like a moonstone embedded in white velvet.

Her long white hair was as crystal clear as snowflakes, the strands delicate and smooth, shimmering with faint starlight under the moonlight, cascading down the side of her pillow.

With fair skin and delicate features, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her nose and lips were exquisitely beautiful. Not only her appearance, but even her bone structure was impeccable.

At this moment, her chest rose and fell gently with her faint breaths, and her slender fingers were interlaced on her abdomen, like a sleeping beauty from a fairy tale.

The girl's name is Elune, the second young lady of the Serenes family. In her early years, she had already become the most famous beauty in Moonlight City because of her outstanding appearance.

But for some reason, starting one day two years ago, she suddenly fell into a deep sleep and never woke up again.

Although there are still faint signs of life, they are unable to control their own bodies, and even their consciousness is intermittent, which is the so-called persistent vegetative state.

He's a complete vegetable.

This sudden turn of events left the entire Selenes family in a state of utter chaos. Over the past two years, they had consulted countless doctors, all of whom were helpless and left empty-handed.

What no one knew was that Elune's consciousness did not fall into a deep sleep along with her body.

On the contrary, she remained perfectly lucid.

She could even detect that the nutrient solution she was given yesterday contained 0.2 grams less sugar, and she expressed her serious protest.

Most extraordinary individuals in this world awaken through a 9th-order sequence pathway.

A very small number of monsters are already at rank 8 or rank 7 upon awakening.

And I, Elune, the chosen one who inherited the will of the ancestors of the Selene family, awakened from the moment I entered the sixth-tier pathway of the extravagant system—the Moon.

This frail human body couldn't withstand the immense energy of a 6th-tier pathway, which is why it temporarily fell into slumber. But there's no need to worry; I'll be fully awake in a year or two.

Before that...

Could we replace the nutritional supplement with milk tea, even just for one meal? My child is so hungry he's crying...

Elune silently complained in her heart.

If she really became a pure vegetable, that would be fine, but she was conscious but unable to move, which was extremely torturous, making each day feel like an eternity.

In the past two years, her only pastime has been using the supernatural abilities that come with the lunar pathway to "eavesdrop" on the conversations and thoughts of those around her.

For example, the maids fantasize about the latest erotic novels...

"Click-clack"

Just then, a series of crisp footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.

Hearing the familiar and comforting sound of high heels landing, Elune knew that her older sister had arrived.

A few seconds later, the door was pushed open.

A blonde woman dressed in a black women's military uniform walked in; her pupils and...

Her hair was a brilliant, sun-kissed gold, and she was in her early twenties.

She held an elegant white cat in her arms. The cat, named Hakimi, wore a delicate sapphire necklace around its neck. Its bright blue vertical pupils were half-open and half-closed, giving it a languid yet noble appearance.

Adele Selenenis.

Elune's eldest sister, and also the eldest daughter of the Serenes family.

She currently serves as a squad leader in the Night Patrol division of Moon City.

"Elune..."

"Two years have passed, but you are still in a deep sleep. What should we do?"

Hearing the helpless and sad voice of her eldest sister, Adele.

Elune felt a sense of unease.

She desperately wanted to move her fingers as much as she could to respond to her older sister's daily visits, but her body simply wouldn't obey her commands.

A few seconds later, the white cat, held in Adele's arms, spoke in human language:

"Adele, if you want Elune to wake up as soon as possible, you can consider my suggestion from last time."

"The first method is to forcibly use the forbidden black candle (number 991) on her to grant a wish directly, but this will randomly deduct 1 to 99 years from her lifespan."

"You can borrow it temporarily from the Night Patrol Headquarters by spending just a little contribution points."

"The second method is to have a superhuman from the ninth-order sequence of the Natural System, who is a Wind Addict, have physical contact with the lady every day."

"Those with the 'Wind Addict' pathway can soften the emotional fluctuations of those around them, which will likely accelerate Elune's awakening process."

"However, when addicts feel restless, it can also negatively affect the mood of those around them."

"Therefore, methods like imprisonment and coercion are definitely not..."

"No, absolutely not!!"

Before the white cat could finish speaking, Adele decisively refused.

Neither approach will work.

Let's not even talk about whether the black candle will directly reduce Elune's lifespan.

She had already looked into the second method. All three Wind Addicts in Moonlit City were male. How could they possibly be allowed to be alone with the helpless Elune in private, and even create a quiet and comfortable environment for them?

This is truly damaging to Elune's reputation.

Even if Elune wakes up, she definitely won't be happy.

That's right, absolutely not.

Aunt Bai, please stop meddling in other people's business!

Elune, her face flushed with anxiety, echoed the sentiment.

This white cat was raised by their mother from a kitten. After accidentally ingesting a sequence potion, it awakened a transcendent sequence. Now in its thirties, it shows no signs of aging and has even learned to speak human language.

In a sense, it can be considered a kind of elder who watched Elune and Adele grow up.

Elune believed that Aunt White wouldn't harm her.

But these two proposals are rather absurd.

However, at this moment, although Adele was very resistant, after a long silence, she looked down at her sleeping sister, and a hint of hesitation and wavering gradually flashed across her face.

"Although having private contact with strange men might damage one's reputation..."

"But Elune is already of marriageable age."

"If, if..."

"If it were a normal marriage, perhaps..."

"Alright, Aunt Bai, you stay here and look after her. I'll go check the information on the Wind Addicts in the Bright Moon City area!"

At this point, Adele suddenly turned and walked away, her military boots clicking rapidly on the marble floor as she hurried to her study.

Only Elune and the white cat remained in the room.

Elune: ?

No, wait...

Marriage?

To leave myself in a vegetative state...?

What does it mean? ! ?

Chapter 2: The World Book

Moonlit City, Lower District: If the Upper District of Moonlit City is heaven on earth, the area where all the nobles and the wealthy reside.

That downtown area was a complete slum.

This is the dirtiest and most chaotic place in the entire city, where crimes happen almost every moment. Gas pipes cling to the crumbling brick walls like ivy, occasionally emitting a pungent plume of white smoke.

The wooden houses lining both sides of the street were dilapidated, their paint long since peeled off, revealing patches of black mold. A thin layer of sewage clung to the damp stone pavement, carrying the stench of rotting vegetable leaves and unidentified filth, making it difficult to linger.

At this moment, a silver-haired boy with dull gray eyes sat on the windowsill of his drafty attic, holding half a piece of hardened rye bread in his hand, but his gaze was not focused on the thugs downstairs who were fighting tooth and nail over a few copper coins.

At this moment, in his line of sight, a thick, illusory ancient book floated in the air, its translucent pages moving without wind and emitting an extremely faint glow.

No one but himself could see the existence of this book.

"In terms of page count alone, it's probably comparable to 'The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard'..."

World Book

Holder: Weiss

Current location: Moonlit City, Lower District (Exploration progress: 9%)

Extraordinary Sequence: Natural Rank 9 - Wind Addict

Two years have passed since Weiss transmigrated to this world. From the moment he opened his eyes, the World Book, which seemed to be a system cheat, floated in front of him.

But he hasn't yet discovered what use this thing has.

For two years, this book has remained suspended there, displaying only a few lines of lifeless text like a decoration. You can use your mind to turn the pages to alleviate the boredom, but it has no other function.

The only change is that the exploration level value will occasionally fluctuate.

From 1% on day one to 9% now, that's an 8 percentage point increase in two years.

Weiss even suspected that this thing would only unlock some functions when it reached 100%, and at the current rate, that would probably be an achievement he wouldn't reach until his grave was overgrown with weeds.

As for the Wind Addict Sequence, it has nothing to do with this book. It was a strange power that Weiss suddenly felt when he woke up naturally from a dream one morning nine months after his transmigration—as if a gentle breeze was blowing from the depths of his heart, brushing over his blood vessels, bones and every inch of his skin.

Weiss took this as extra compensation from the world's will for his overly useless cheat ability.

However, the abilities of those addicted to wind are not suitable for direct combat and fighting; they are more often used as supportive and calming healers.

Specifically, addicts can convey a sense of calm and tranquility to others through physical contact, causing those nearby to subconsciously feel emotionally calmed, sleepy, and less wary.

This is indeed a very useful ability for people with anxiety disorders, insomnia, and the wounded.
