Chapter 279 After arriving in the real world
Chapter 279 After Returning to the Real World
Xing Tianyu couldn't understand it, "It sounds amazing, so have you been to that world?"
"I went there once, but I almost died there, so I never dared to go there again." LS Diss showed a frightened expression on his face.
Sylvia couldn't help asking, "Is it scary there? Could there be some particularly powerful monster?"
"No, it looks normal there, at least most of the time, but once some special conditions are accidentally triggered, the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes. It may be that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant one second, and the landslides will collapse in the next second. You don’t even know how to die. In that world, you can’t survive if you are strong. Sometimes the stronger you are, the easier it is to die. If you want to go, I can send you there Try it out."
"Forget it, we are exhausted now, and we have to go back and hand in the task."
"By the way, will our world and the absolute real world affect each other? For example, if we are fighting fiercely in the absolute real world, will there be any changes in the real world?" Xing Tian asked this because He thought of it, he had transformed a Peter Jackson in the nightmare space in the past, but in the absolute real world, Peter Jackson also dreamed of him in a dream, which inevitably made him a little puzzled, how did this effect happen? .
LS Diss nodded, "Yes, but it's very small. Our three worlds can be said to be projections of each other. What happens in our world usually happens in the absolute real world and the surreal world. It's just that the forms are different, and the details are also different, and it is completely impossible to grasp the laws."
Xing Tianyu nodded, the answer is not much different from no.
Sylvia also asked at this time, "Then how did you get this ability?"
LS Diss shook his head, "I have nothing to say about this."
Sylvia raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry, "You said that you would do your best to answer our questions."
LS Diss seemed a little afraid of Sylvia, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't want to say, I really don't know, my ability is just like you humans can talk and see things, it's innate. But can you really understand all the details of your abilities? Can you know how your eyes and mouths function and work? It is obviously impossible. My ability is the same, I only know the How to use it, but I can't explain its working principle and origin, anyway, in our world, everyone can use it, we use it to travel between different levels and hone our abilities."
Seeing what LS Diss said, the two had no choice but to accept it.
Xing Tianyu nodded, "Then that's it, I think it's time to leave, and we will come to you again in the future."
Looking around, Xing Tianyu found that the surrounding environment had changed back to the VIP room of LS Diss' nightclub, "Then we are leaving, Mr. Consultant."
"Borabbi, are you going to come with us?"
"Of course," Borabbi said, burrowing straight into the jar, "I'll stay here and let me out when I get to your house."
When the two walked out of the nightclub, they suddenly felt as if they had passed away. Looking at the scene on the streets of New York outside, Xing Tianyu glanced at Sylvia, "It's really like a dream, isn't it?"
"Yes." Sylvia also said with emotion, and suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Xing Tianyu asked with concern.
"The baby in my stomach is kicking me."
"You mean?" Xing Tianyu couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect their children to be brought out from the absolute real world.
"I think we may have to get married again." Sylvia said helplessly.
The two of them were driving on the streets of New York, and things around them seemed to have changed a lot. Xing Tianyu asked someone for the time, and found that in this world, more than three months had passed, and it happened to be them The time spent in the absolute real world, that is to say, the time of these two worlds is synchronized, which makes Xing Tianyu a little helpless. He has been observing and looking for the so-called subtle changes, but it seems that so far there not found.
Using his mobile phone to access the Internet, he checked the news of Los Angeles, but he really found something.
The keyword he used in his search was his address when he lived in the absolute real world, and he immediately saw a major discovery.
A fire broke out in an uninhabited mansion in Beverly Hills. According to the investigation of firefighters, the fire was probably caused by the aging of the liquefied gas pipeline. Even if the fire was found and extinguished in time, the fire was quickly extinguished. No one is currently involved. casualties.
Looking at the address of this fire, it is Xing Tianyu's address in the absolute real world.
It really has an influence, Xing Tianyu couldn't help thinking in surprise, but he doesn't know how this influence appeared, but it seems that this influence is indeed as minimal as LS Diss said.
In the distance, Sylvia's house appeared in the line of sight of the two, "Thank God, I'm finally back." Sylvia cheered and stopped the car suddenly.
The two got out of the car, pushed open the door, and walked in. Sylvia looked around with some nostalgia, showing an extremely relaxed expression.
"Wow, you must be Sylvia, right? You are as beautiful as Sam said." A woman's voice made Xing Tianyu and Sylvia alert at the same time. They looked together, but saw a blond girl with big boobs from two The floor went down.
"Who are you?" Sylvia asked displeased.
"Oh, I'm Joshua's girlfriend."
"Joshua?" After a moment of shock, the two of them remembered that Joshua was the human being possessed by the spirit of the ancient summoner.
"Joshua, your friend is back." The blond bob yelled into the kitchen.
"You guys are finally back." Joshua came out of the kitchen, still wearing the apron, holding a plate of fried chicken wings in one hand, and a large bowl of fruit salad in the other, with a serious expression on his face. Serious expression. "It's just in time for lunch, let's eat some together, that Mary, don't you have to go to yoga class?"
"Um, that's right!" Mary said, turned and walked out.
Sitting at the dining table, the three of them were eating lunch, and Sylvia complained unrecognizably, "It seems that the family has changed a lot during the time we left. You actually have a girlfriend. Didn't you say that you Is it a woman?"
But Joshua shrugged, "So what? People have to face reality, don't they? My body is now a man, and I'm going to stay in this world for a long time. I have to find some entertainment. Well, besides, it's pretty good to experience new things." He said nonchalantly.
"It's you, after leaving for such a long time, I thought you were already dead."
"It's not that easy for us to hang up." Sylvia said confidently.
"Then let's talk about how your mission is going. It seems that you have completed the mission."
"We have indeed completed the task." Xing Tianyu told Silvia what happened after speaking.
But Joshua's face became more solemn the more he heard it, "It's really interesting, it's definitely the real world. It seems that no matter what time it is, the universe can always present us with more mysterious and new and interesting things."
Xing Tianyu was surprised when Joshua said this, "Has no summoner ever been to the absolute real world before?"
Joshua shook his head, "No, there is no record of this at all, so you have not only completed the task, but also collected an important piece of information for us, very good, I, announce, starting today, You two are official summoners now."
he said, continuing to eat fried chicken.
Xing Tianyu and Silvia were happy for a while, but then they were a little unsure, "Is this the end?" He asked hesitantly.Do you want it to be this simple?
"That's right, what else do you think will happen? What about holding a grand celebration banquet for you?" Joshua said nonchalantly, "Since it's over here, I think it's time for me to I left, oh yes, the next summoner meeting will start in less than a year, pay attention to your time, don't miss it." Joshua said and swallowed the last piece of fried chicken With a stomachache, he licked his fingers with some reluctance, "Send me back now."
"So soon? Don't you plan to stay for a few more days?"
"It's not necessary. I still have things to do over there. Besides, people's desires are unlimited. I'm afraid that if I stay here, I won't be able to leave again. As a deceased person, this is not a place for me to stay for a long time."
Seeing that the spirit of the ancient summoner was so determined, the two did not continue to persuade them to stay.
"A powerful spirit from the world of Aresos, you are no longer welcome in this world, follow the ancient contract and your own will, please go back to your world."
As Xing Tianyu recited the incantation of the exile technique, a puff of white smoke emerged from Joshua's body amid the sound of the incantation. The smoke circled around, forming a vague human figure in the air, and then the human figure distorted for a while. With a puff, it disappeared, and Joshua also collapsed on the chair suddenly.
Before Joshua could get up, Sylvia had already hypnotized him.
"Okay, I'm going to send him back, eat slowly." Sylvia said, and left with Joshua.
"Hey, let me out!" A vague voice sounded suddenly, Xing Tianyu realized that Borabbi hadn't been released yet, and he hurriedly opened the jar.
Borabbi stretched his body in the air, and looked around curiously, "So this is your real home? Well, this is much more shabby than the previous home."
As she spoke, she sniffed it suddenly, "What is so fragrant? Wow, it's fried chicken!" With a cheer, Borabbi sat down on the table and started eating.
Xing Tianyu was speechless for a while, well, although he turned back into a wishing elf, Borabbi's gluttonous character is the same.
Sylvia will be back soon.
"Okay, the matter is settled. I sent Joshua back to his home. It is estimated that this guy will lose his memory for a while after waking up, but it should be fine."
At this time, there was a sound of opening the door, and then Xing Tianyu and Sylvia saw Sam walking in from outside pushing a baby carriage.
As soon as he saw Xing Tianyu, Sam's face immediately brightened, "Thank God, you are finally back, how are you? Has the task been completed?" Sam's face was full of urgency.
"It's done, we are now official summoners."
"Haha, great, I can finally retire." Sam showed an ecstatic expression.
"By the way, where is Mike?" Sylvia immediately asked about his younger brother. Although this younger brother is completely cheap, he is still a younger brother anyway.
"Oh, he's here." Sam carried Mike out of the stroller. He hadn't seen him in a few months. Mike had grown up a lot. Sylvia looked at Mike, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said that he Really bonded with the baby.
"Don't worry, Mom, I can help you take care of him." Borabbi appeared out of nowhere and said, floating over the baby carriage, playfully stroking Little Mike's hair.
But Sam was taken aback, "My God! That's... that's..." He didn't notice that Borabbi was sitting on the chair just now, but he was extremely surprised now.
"That's right, she is the wishing elf, but now she is our daughter, and her name is Borabi. Borabi, this is your Uncle Sam." Xing Tianyu introduced them.
But there was a smirk on Borabbi's face, "Uncle Sam, right? Do you want to make a wish?"
Sam was pleasantly surprised, "Making a wish? Is it really possible?"
"Of course! This is my old profession. Of course, the procedure still needs to go through. You have to give me something, some delicious food, and you can only make one wish. In the end, I'm not sure what the wish will be. Since you are my uncle, I have to make it clear that the results of most wish-wishers are not very wonderful."
"Of course there are some people who have good luck. The key to this is that the wishes you make must be simple, easy to realize and not prone to ambiguity, so you'd better think clearly."
That Sam was tangled up immediately.He knew the danger of making a wish, because Xing Tianyu had warned him, but the benefits were also obvious. Besides, people always have a gambling mentality, and Sam couldn't help but get entangled.
I still can't think of this question for a while, so Sam simply thinks about it, "Since we have become summoners, what should we do next? Should we summon something to celebrate?"
"Pull it down." Sylvia said helplessly, "We should not call until the child is born."
In the next few months, life became calmer. The two first went to get married again, and then went to a peaceful daily life. Sylvia's belly grew bigger day by day. Fortunately, under the protection of magic , she still moves freely, but the speed at which Sylvia's belly grows seems a bit scary. When she returned to the fourth month of the real world, that is, the fifth month after pregnancy, her belly had already grown. The bulge became a ball, and the two had to go to the hospital for an examination. To their surprise, according to the hospital's examination, Sylvia's pregnancy status had reached the standard of more than nine months, that is to say, she I'm going to give birth soon.
"What's the situation?" Both of them were speechless. Of course, Xing Tianyu didn't think he was cuckolded. Obviously, it must have something to do with the two people's experiences in the absolute real world. Xing Tianyu called LS Diss to ask , LS Diss was also taken aback when he heard it.
"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. I don't know what's going on, but I have a guess. It may be because your child has stayed in two worlds, so his growth rate is Twice that of the average person."
This made the two of them a little helpless, but also a little nervous, not knowing what the child would look like when it was born.
But fortunately, the two are fortunate that the child's birth process is very smooth, and it looks very healthy, even in the doctor's words, a little too healthy.
Looking at the baby in Sylvia's arms, Xing Tianyu couldn't help being moved. This is his own child, his own blood. He has never thought about what would happen if he had a child. Sometimes he even thought, He may never want a child in his life, but looking at this little baby at this moment, he feels grateful from the bottom of his heart, but he is a little worried in his heart, hoping that there will be no problems with him.
