Chapter 592 Extra 3: Tokyo forty years ago (Part 2)
Outside a single apartment in Hachioji-cho, a suburb of Tokyo.
"It has been more than a month since I came to that world. Except for some initial turmoil, Ruming finally took a break and settled down in Donglai."
Zhen Haoren, who had just moved in and stayed there for a few days, was tidying up and cleaning the new home while muttering to himself.
About a month has passed since he traveled to that world.
Although that inexplicable time travel was no less than a disaster for him, after all, it broke his original peaceful routine and put him in a completely unfamiliar world.
But Haoren couldn't bear it in his heart, so after a few days of confusion, he reluctantly accepted it.
After that, he spent all his time looking for a place to stay, providing for food and clothing, and collecting information about the parallel world.
Ru Ming has found a place to stay, has barely enough food and clothing, and has collected almost all the information about that world.
Generally speaking, the island country he is in is not the familiar island country in his original world, but a parallel world island country with monsters and many supernatural beings.
Even if you look at Tokyo now, there is not much difference from Tokyo in previous lives.
But a long time ago, that parallel world was filled with monsters, and humans could live in the strange east of the sky in the shadow of monsters.
Although there are onmyojis, spiritual masters, and magic attack masters, and human beings have mastered extraordinary powers, generally speaking, there is a situation where the demons are strong and the humans are weak.
In modern times, everything has been reversed. With the development of human science and technology, onmyoji and other spirit-removing techniques have been combined with modern technology and have achieved leapfrog development.
As a result, two hundred years ago, humans defeated the demon alliance led by the demon emperor and the legendary monster in one fell swoop, becoming the true ruler of that world.
For an island country with such a magical history, it was obvious that it was not a time travel, going back to the past, but that he had traveled to some strange parallel world.
After understanding that information, although I still feel a little uneasy in my heart, no matter what, if I have traveled through time, I have traveled through time. Since things have already happened, no matter how much I think about it, it will not be in vain.
Yu Haoren plans to take it one step at a time. He will first get familiar with the familiar environment and adapt to the new life there. If given the chance, he will then see if he can find a way to return to the original world.
Is that the normal thinking of a time traveler?
"Oh, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, there's no point in thinking too much now.
Okay, the cleaning is almost done. I have a day off tomorrow. I don’t have to go to work. I just go to the supermarket and buy some good food to treat myself. It’s been more than a month since I came to that damn place and I haven’t had a good meal...
"
After working there for a long time and finally cleaning the new house, Haoren was not idle and planned to go out for a walk.
It's not dangerous to go out, even though it's a parallel world full of monsters.
But Haoren didn't know what the so-called demon was, and he had never seen one.
Even after traveling to the bright future for about a month, the presence of demons did not have the slightest impact on his daily life.
The reason is that since they were defeated by humans, the monsters and the weird remnants of the forces have been hiding from human hunting and hiding outside the alien space called the Monster Crack, making it difficult to see them at ordinary times.
"If I have a chance, I would like to see the monsters in that world. Uh... no, forget it. I heard that monsters can eat people. Ordinary people like him who have no spiritual power will simply not be able to meet the monsters."
Deliver food..."
After changing into clothes for going out, Haoren locked the door and came to the corridor of the apartment. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a man who looked about four or five years old, but had red lips and red teeth and a delicate appearance.
The little lolita.
"Hey, is this the new big brother? Big Ge Ge, I'm fine!"
The little lolita was standing outside the door of the apartment next door, seemingly waiting for someone. When she found him going out, she immediately greeted him playfully.
"Ah, the little girl next door, please be here early! Am I waiting for Mrs. Takegai, waiting for my mother?"
Haoren was slightly surprised, and quickly remembered that little loli was the daughter of his next-door neighbor, whom he had met two or three times before after he moved to that apartment.
I heard from the landlord that his neighbor is a divorced wife named Takewai. She divorced her husband a year ago due to conflicts and is now raising a daughter alone.
Haoren is a single mother with a low income and wants to raise a child by herself. Haoren can understand why she lives in that apartment.
"No, he and his mother were getting ready to go out. He came to the door to wait for her first. Big Ge Ge, he is not a little girl. Wow... I have told you three times, why can't I remember it?
I don’t know the person’s name!”
The little Loli nodded first, answered Haoren's question obediently, and then slightly wrinkled her delicate eyebrows, as if she was a little dissatisfied that Haoren couldn't remember her name.
"Ah, I'm sorry, he remembers that his name is Zhuwai... Hui... Hui... Oh, what is Hui..."
As a native of China, it was always difficult for Haoren to remember the name of a native of the island country. Therefore, after talking for a long time, he could not tell what the little girl's name was.
"Suori, no Sui, no no Hui, Suori Zhuwai, please remember it well!"
The little loli named Takegai Hori pouted angrily, seeming to blame Haoren for remembering her name incorrectly.
"No, Hori, big brother must remember that now... Come on, Hori-chan, big brother has some candy for me to eat, please forgive big brother that time!"
Haoren took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the little Loli. It was a gift from the proprietress of the candy store where he worked recently.
"Ouch...ah, so sweet~"
Children naturally have little resistance when it comes to sweets, and they fall for it in an instant.
"Hey, Xiaohori is so good and cruel!"
As a person who likes to pet cats, Haoren naturally would not let Zhi Wanghui go. While the little Loli was eating his lollipop, he stretched out his legs and petted her little head.
What, I mean petting a cat or not petting a cat, that’s completely different.
What's the difference? You can do it with a cat, you can do it with a little girl. The only difference is that punishment or not...
"Hey, hey, big Gege, forgive me that time. Dongci remembers to come and play with Sui Li. Sui Li also has a lot of delicious food..."
The little Loli seemed to be planning to say something, but suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening behind her. She suddenly looked nervous and immediately changed her words:
"Oh, Big Gege, let me leave quickly. His mother will go out soon. Please shut up if she sees me and him, she will be angry..."
"Hey, why are you asking to leave? He really wants to say hello to Mrs. Takewai?"
Haoren, who was pushed by the little Lolita up the east stairs, said a little puzzled.
"Because...because his mother asked him not to get too close to me, saying that I am not a bt lolita controler or something..."
Haoren: "..."
Well, Haoren asked himself if he had some experience in coaxing children, so he had a good impression of that little girl whom he had only met a few times.
Just quarreled, the wrong party’s mother didn’t seem to think so…
…
After leaving the apartment, Haoren walked on the main road that he often walked a month away. He planned to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.
Originally, he thought it would be the same monthly shopping as before, just like walking through that street countless times before.
However, that time, an accident happened.
Just as he was walking slowly on the road that seemed to have been newly paved with asphalt and thinking about what to eat for lunch tomorrow, the familiar broad street in front of him was suddenly surrounded by an unusually abrupt but very dazzling pink light...
