Chapter 30 A Storm is Brewing
Ming was there a little earlier.
"You're here, Captain!" Ming's police subordinate rushed over.
"You're here just in time! Quickly help me up, we need to chase the fugitive." This time, Ming truly couldn't stand up.
"Ah, Captain, but the bureau chief assigned you to pick up the VIPs from the upper echelons at the pillar."
"What? Why are the higher-ups here?"
"We don't know either, Captain. Send me the fugitive's information, and I'll help you track him down. You know, people from higher up are very troublesome; we simply can't handle them."
"They might hurt us when they get angry, and we don't even have the ability to fight back."
Ming sighed. Indeed, those guys at the top were too ruthless; he wouldn't trust his own men with them. However, he didn't have any information about Di Xing.
Well, judging from the attitude of those kids, he's probably not a child trafficker, but more likely a thief. Honestly, I thought I'd found a fellow book lover, but it turns out...
"Forget it," Mingzai thought, "I'll deal with the higher-ups first, then I'll go see him." So he left with his subordinates.
......
Di Xing felt his throat was on fire, so he quickly gulped down several mouthfuls of water he'd bought that evening. The water was not only bitter but also astringent, incomparable to the water in Li Fei Hua Yue, let alone the water in the real world. It seemed the people in the Scrap Metal Zone weren't having an easy time. But thankfully, it eased his sore throat, and he could finally speak.
You say you're human?
"Yes"
"Then why are you hanging out with Kaling?"
"Because these Kalings treat me better than humans do."
Uh, this has suddenly turned into a heavy topic.
Di Xing was at a loss. He could store Ka Ling in cards, but what about this little human girl? Let her go back to the streets to wander? Di Xing wasn't that heartless, but there was only one bed in the room.
Seeing Di Xing's gaze drift towards the bed, Ruan Nuo hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I don't need to sleep on the bed." Then she pulled out a few newspapers from her clothes. "I'll sleep on the newspapers."
Oh, this kid is so pitiful! Oh well, I'm not a lolicon anyway, and I'm all alone in this house, so I don't have to worry about being seen and called a pervert.
"If you don't mind, you can sleep in my bed tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Nuo's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly jumped onto the bed. But then she remembered that her clothes were dirty, so she immediately got off the bed and started taking them off.
Startled, Di Xing quickly grabbed her small hand to stop her.
Ruan Nuo looked at Di Xing with suspicion.
Di Xing sighed, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"
"My clothes are too dirty; I'm afraid they'll get the bed dirty."
Reluctantly, Di Xing took out the functional spirit card [Cloud Monster - Sheep Cloud] that Lunia had suggested he buy. However, at Lunia's insistence, the shopkeeper reluctantly gave the card to Di Xing as a free gift. It seems the shopkeeper's little angel is a bit leaky...
Di Xing used his spirit power to materialize the cloud demon—Yang Yun. Dozens of small clouds began to swirl around Ruan Nuo, making Ruan Nuo's eyes sparkle. At this moment, Di Xing turned his back and said, "Take off your clothes and let them wash you."
Ruan Nuo obediently did as she was told. After taking off her clothes, the cloud goblins immediately floated up to her and began rubbing against her. The cloud goblins' true form was a cloud of mist, making it perfect for washing her off without wetting the floor.
The sheep clouds worked for a full 15 minutes and finally cleaned Ruan Nuo up, turning more than 20 sheep clouds into black clouds.
Then they all rushed to Di Xing to claim credit, and Di Xing gave them some spirit power as a reward before putting them back into the card.
Di Xing wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that some of the clouds in Yang Yun's card picture seemed to have turned black.
Without looking closely, he took off the cloak and linen clothes he had just bought, and without turning around, he handed the linen clothes behind his back.
"You should wear this first; your clothes might have lice." The clothes were filthy beyond recognition; even sheep clouds probably couldn't clean them, and the sheep clouds wouldn't want to wash them anyway. Ruan Nuo softly said thank you and then began to put the clothes on.
After a while, Ruan Nuo timidly said, "I'm dressed."
Di Xing turned his head, his face immediately turning red. Ruan Nuo seemed to be quite inexperienced at dressing herself, and the linen dress was a bit too big, now looking like it was draped over Ruan Nuo's body.
Large patches of her small body were exposed, and Di Xing quickly helped her tidy up. Ruan Nuo stood obediently without saying a word.
Di Xing had never dressed a girl before, so he could only make her look slightly better than her. He simply wrapped Ruan Nuo up like a dumpling in his cloak, then picked her up and put her on the bed.
Ruan Nuo peeked out from the "cloaked rice dumpling." Her exceptionally white hair, washed by Yang Yun, cascaded down the cloak like the finest silk. Although her expression was indifferent, the swaying tuft of hair betrayed her mood.
Thank you, big brother.
Di Xing patted his head, trying to smooth out his tuft of hair. "It's okay, go to sleep."
Ruan Nuo nodded and closed her eyes, but her ahoge (cowlick) stood up defiantly again. Di Xing also lay down on the bed, exhausted after a long day, finally able to get some rest.
Di Xing lay on the bed, trying to sort out his thoughts. Why had he transmigrated to this world? Was there any way to go back?
Once Wang Dazhuang realizes he's missing, he'll probably call the police, right? His parents will also realize he's missing; hopefully, they won't be too grief-stricken.
Now, what he hopes for most is that this world is like the one described in many novels, where the flow of time is different from that in the real world. Ideally, when he finds a way to return from this world, only a few minutes or even seconds will have passed in the real world.
Furthermore, how can I find a way back? Judging from what the shopkeeper and the others said, this world must have also had heroes summoned from other worlds, something like the process in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Hero deck.
Should I go check out the Temple of Descent they mentioned? But I can't even leave the fourth level of this city right now.
Speaking of which, that little girl, Li Fei Hua Yue, seems to have a terminal that can access all sorts of information. I'll try to get one too. Tomorrow I'll go to the store and ask the manager where I can buy one, and see if I can find a way back.
But what about little Ruan Nuo? It's hard enough for him to support himself in this world; supporting her would be impossible. Maybe he should ask Lunya tomorrow if there's anywhere he can put the little one in...
As Di Xing pondered, a wave of exhaustion washed over him. He could no longer hold on and drifted off to sleep. At that moment, accompanied by the twinkling starlight, Lei Xi appeared. She gently stroked Di Xing's head and murmured, "You've worked so hard."
And so, this eventful day came to an end, but it was destined to become the beginning of a series of unpredictable and turbulent events to come.
At this moment, everyone on stage is rushing to the stage.
In the wilderness 1000 kilometers east of the mobile city of Dusk Durren, a stunningly beautiful blue-haired woman, cloaked and staggering, walked forward, leaving behind countless fallen giant beast carcasses. "Hmph, don't waste my time. I don't have much left. A power comparable to a Star Calamity-level elf—before I, and we, are wiped out, I must fight him once more."
Meanwhile, 400 kilometers north of the mobile city of Twilight Duron, several large birds seemed to sense danger and were about to flap their wings to escape when they were cut in two by a dark shadow. This man with black wings on his back was flying rapidly towards Twilight Duron. "Hahaha, finally a character I can fight to my heart's content has appeared? I'm really looking forward to it!"
At dusk, in front of the pillar elevator on the fourth floor of Durham, Ming stood silently, looking at the three people with completely different styles in front of him.
