Teresa won't starve

"?"

"When you play a game, you don't have to think about winning or losing. If you lose, it's a big deal and you have to do it all over again. There is no death penalty anyway. Of course, there will be no rewards for clearing the level. It's just a way to relax. , don’t have too much psychological burden.”

"Yeah." Teresa nodded her head and finished listening, and then found that the principal didn't continue to talk, so she asked, "That's all?"

"What else do you want to know? Can you understand all this?"

"Well, I understand."

"..." The principal stared at her for a while, and Teresa felt a little uncomfortable looking straight at her: "That's how it is. Let's make it clear in advance that I have something to do and I don't have time to take care of you."

"I understand, I will take care of myself."

"Just you? Take care of yourself? Forget it!"

The head of the school saw her through, and didn't have any expectations at all.

After finishing speaking, regardless of Teresa's reaction, she went straight to her own business.

Leaving Teresa standing there with her mouth curled up for a while, she left a word to herself and went back to the room.

"At least have some confidence in me."

......

After returning to the room, Teresa didn't think about anything, she just lay on her back on the bed, closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep.

Listening to the ticking of the alarm clock, a few minutes passed in silence. Teresa, who couldn't bear the loneliness, finally climbed up again and took the smartphone out of the imaginary number space.

It's just that when I put my finger on the game with the head of 'paramecium' as the icon, I suddenly feel that I don't want to play that much.

"Speaking of which, since I haven't played for so long, I guess I'm about to fall out of the abyss of pain, right?"

The game that used to be a liver blast has now become a purely casual game that is only played occasionally, and even daily check-ins cannot be done.

Needless to say, those diamonds that are lost every day, I don’t know how many periods I missed just because of the activities.

especially--

"The ink talisman is almost installed, but I don't have enough diamonds at all!"

So there seems to be one more reason not to play?

Teresa put down the smartphone, and took over the black VR goggle eyes that had been set aside and had no idea whether they could be used.Then, regardless of whether it was a trap switch like "Sword Art Online", he directly pressed the power button.

The screen of an unknown material that was originally completely dark in front of me suddenly lit up, which seemed to indicate that it had a certain amount of power storage, so there was no need to worry about it being unusable.

On the screen is a white background made of data——

With Teresa's eyesight, even though the resolution of this small screen is relatively low, she can still clearly see the truth hidden in this pure white background.

As each entry jumped, a clear blue information entry was pulled out.

Although the language is different from what Teresa is familiar with, the meaning is still very intuitive to understand.

[The third quantum mechanism is opened]

[The node information has been obtained and the parallel space-time has been located]

[Space-time anchor connection completed]

288 "You Are Disliked"

Teresa didn't know whether the countdown counted down or not.

Because when the countdown reached '7', her consciousness had already begun to dull, and she couldn't think at all.

When she came to her senses, she was already sitting alone on a park bench.A person looks at the moths flying under the light bulb under the bright light at night, not knowing what he is waiting for.

......

"So am I time-traveling again?"

As soon as Teresa looked down, she saw that she was wearing the same clothes as when she came.

So--

"Fimilis!?"

There was no response, and no blond female ghost was seen, obviously she did not come with Teresa.

The loss is still humanoid AI, who can't even invade VR game data?

But Teresa didn't care too much.

She just didn't know what to do next.

"Is it a game as agreed? Can it be called a game without a UI for novice guides and mission prompts?"

"I said what are you calling here? If you don't go home at night and sit in the park, your family will worry about you, right?"

"Ok?"

Although Teresa was so big-hearted that she hardly had any vigilance, it still surprised her that a person could approach her so silently, and she couldn't help turning her head to look.

It's just that when Teresa faced each other, the two sides who saw each other's faces clearly under the streetlight at the same time were all stunned.

"You are—" x2

——"Karen"/Theresa! ?

Both sides almost called the exit, and stopped the car in time at the same time.

"No, no, she's not Kallen... at least not the Kallen I know."

When Teresa saw the more modern clothes on the other party, she immediately recognized the other party's identity - her only character of Kallen who reached the SSS level: the original sin hunter.

"So this is the world line under the moon? I just don't know what time it is, and how long it will be before the 'last moment'."

Don't worry about what Teresa is thinking here.

Kallen, who has part of Kallen's memories but doesn't even know if she is Kallen, immediately thought of 'that child' the moment she saw Teresa.

Because it's so similar...no, it's exactly the same!

It's just that Karen didn't have the feeling that all the blood flows in the same blood vessel in her body.

At the same time, under the detection of her 'blood-sucking perception', the other party also clearly came to the result of 'this child is a human being, not a vampire'.

Not even 'infected'.

So Kallen immediately stopped the name that was about to be called.

The two sides stood face to face for a while with their own thoughts, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and wanted to say something.

"Actually I..." x2

"..." x2

This seems to be more embarrassing.

In the end, Karen raised her hand to signal: "You speak first."

"..."

Karen also immediately realized that it seemed a little inappropriate to say this, so she had to explain herself first: "Well, don't get me wrong, I just think, you are a bit like my lost sister, so I accidentally admitted the wrong person."

"Do you usually use this 'I see you look familiar' way to chat with others? To be honest, this opening line is very old-fashioned!"

"Really? Then I'll change the sentence next time!"

"..."

Teresa felt that this was probably the most times when she was speechless when facing a stranger.

"This is the joke." Kallen put away her 'not very smart boy', and showed a serious expression on her face, even a little bit of a lesson: "Go home now, and don't do this in the future It’s still late to stay outside. It’s very dangerous for a girl to be outside alone, do you know? Especially for a child like you, if you encounter a bad guy, you don’t even have the slightest ability to resist (note)!”

"How dangerous is it?"

"How... In short, it is very dangerous! Hurry up and go home!"

"Then you send it back?"

"I don't even know where your home is, how can I send you back?" Karen, who is severely lacking in social experience, didn't notice the problem in her sentence at all: "Don't dawdle, go home quickly, I'm still waiting for you." There are other things to be busy with."

"—Okay." Teresa half-opened her eyes, pretending to be unhappy: "Then can you tell me your name?"

"Don't you, you, you, I'm older than you, do you want to ask my sister to know?" Karen pinched her waist with her left hand, and pointed her right index finger at Theresa's forehead.I was just afraid that it would hurt her too much, so I just dabbed it lightly a few times, which made Teresa itch: "My sister's name is Karen, Karen Kaslana. What about you? The little sister who didn't sleep and ran out to play in the middle of the night!"

"My name is T..." Teresa originally wanted to say the name directly, but considering that there are homomorphs with the same name and surname in different time and space in this world, saying the name directly may cause unpredictable confusion, so He changed his words to: "Just call me the captain."

"Return to the captain? Why not the director? You don't want to say it!"

Karen completely lost interest in this little girl who lied to her name but refused to answer questions honestly.

——It's not cute at all!Send her home quickly!

289 "I want it! I want it! Give it to me!"

Kallen walks Teresa onto the sidewalk and leaves.

In her mind, streets with people coming and going are at least much safer than empty alleys and parks.The child's hunting targets every time are basically single prey, so it is much safer than here.

Of course, there will inevitably be alley corners on the street, but who would go there if they have nothing to do? (Inertial thinking)

......

How would Kallen, who thought she had gotten rid of her burden, know that this was not the case for Teresa?

Finally, by being dumped, Karen was driven away from her side, and Teresa was finally able to move freely without worrying about anyone interfering with her.

"I don't know if Yuexia is in this city."

Teresa can't remember the episode in her memory anymore, after all, she basically skipped the whole process when she watched it back then.

After traveling through time, I don't know where to go to review it again. (Teresa didn't know there was this function in the game)

It would be great if I could go to station B, there should be many people who recorded that story.

Teresa also knows that there is no way to force this kind of thing. It would be good if the principal can let her play games across dimensions. Watching videos is purely overthinking.

I can only think of a way first, find someone to ask, what is the name of this city.

"I remember... the city that appeared under the moon is called Canghai, right?" (Note)

But who to ask?

Teresa has a slight social phobia, and she doesn't really like talking to strangers when asking for directions-of course, if a stranger talks to her, she can cope with it. (actually it's me)

Although this is actually not a problem, it will be more or less a little bit of a problem after staying in the house for a long time; but it is always a bit inconvenient, causing her to find someone and ask for directions, which will take a long time.

As I was walking, I was still thinking, find someone who looks good, or 'pleasing to the eye' and ask him.

As a result, because he didn't look ahead, he bumped into someone else all of a sudden.

"Hey! Don't you have eyes? Take a look yourself!"

"Why are you swearing?" This was Teresa's first reaction, and when she looked up, she saw the face of this woman who was much taller than herself, more precisely, the iconic eyes and hair color, subconsciously He uttered a Roman accent: "Himeko?"

"Hime..." The girl with red hair and ponytail repeated the pronunciation, but frowned before she could finish repeating: "How do you know this name?"

"Ugh (uh)..."

"Forget it." The red-haired girl thought, maybe she saw this kid somewhere, but she was too busy with work and forgot, and the pronunciation of 'Himeko'... She waved her hand and asked: " Are you from the Far East?"

"No."

— isn't it?Then this language habit is a bit strange.

"Is that a Far Easterner with a foreign nationality?"
