Chapter 353 : This Other World is Not Right!
[Ding, time rewind searching for correct timeline... rewind 99.999999%... bzzt bzzt... system detection error... rewind... failed]
Wandering in the green ocean full of data, Su Mo initially found it all quite magical.
So the world she existed in, when broken down, was in some sense like a game—it could even load save files!
No wonder so many authors wrote rebirth stories!
But Su Mo's amazement gradually took on a hint of unease as her sister system's time rewind notification got stuck at 99.999% and failed to reach 100%.
When the notification sound of "rewind failed" rang out, Su Mo discovered that she, who had been wandering in the green ocean, finally landed back on solid ground.
At the same time, her vision gradually faded from the green data ocean and began returning to normal.
But while her vision was normal, the scene that appeared was completely different from what Su Mo remembered.
Looking ahead, there was a patch of unnamed, abnormally lush weeds growing wild.
In the center of the weeds stood a somewhat dilapidated goddess statue.
Though the statue was damaged, one could clearly sense the goddess's beauty and a faint hint of divinity.
The goddess statue wore white, solemn Saintess's robes, holding a clay jar in her hands and pouring downward, as if symbolizing the spreading of happiness to the mortal world.
Caw caw~
Just as Su Mo was examining this sculpture.
A somewhat deep crow's call echoed through the air.
Su Mo instinctively looked up, then her entire person froze in place.
The sky at this moment was no longer bright like daytime on Earth.
Though the sun hung high, it was obscured by thick, heavy clouds, making the entire world's colors several shades dimmer.
For some reason, looking at those clouds, Su Mo had an... ominous premonition.
After looking up and gazing into the distance, Su Mo didn't see the original city's high-rise buildings, but instead spotted a distant tower that looked ominous and evil—like a triangular tower where a Demon King would reside in European-style games.
Seeing all this, Su Mo at this moment truly wanted to cry but had no tears.
So... where exactly have I been brought to?
This script is not right!
[Ding, due to radio wave interference accidents during time rewind, suspected to be an unexpected adventure caused by 'Heartbeat Hide and Seek ② bug'. Ding, currently retrieving this world's background, please wait, host...]
With her sister's notification, Su Mo's mood was very complicated.
Emmmmmmmm although she had already prepared herself mentally for increased difficulty in re-challenging Heartbeat Hide and Seek.
But... but who could have imagined this other world development!
After calming down somewhat, recalling the system notification before time rewind that described the possibility of extremely dangerous situations.
Su Mo seemed to reach a conclusion—so... all of this might have been planned, right!
Just as Su Mo was thinking through all this and curiously walking toward the goddess statue with nothing else to do.
As Su Mo approached, the goddess statue began emitting a radiant white glow.
At the same time, a notification sound rang in Su Mo's mind.
[Ding, the host is currently in dimension 64771's other world timeline. This world's background: Evil Demon King Shallow Silk Anfeier rules the western region where the host is located, filling the west with numerous demons including goblins, slimes, slimy ones... This is another world full of swords and magic, like novels the host has read. However, what the host should note is that since Evil Demon King Shallow Silk is a succubus, and the host's appearance is too stunning, please be careful not to be caught by the Demon King or demons. If caught, the consequences could be...]
[Ding, in this world the host plays the role of a Saintess who subjugates the Demon King. Warm reminder: although the host comes from modern times as an ordinary person, because the host possesses 'Saintess Constitution,' and this world is another world, Saintess Constitution is greatly enhanced. Current Constitution +20, Strength +15, Agility +35. Warm reminder: the host can try praying before the 'Saintess Statue'—the gods might give you some blessings.]
Hearing these two consecutive notifications from her sister system, Su Mo was truly on the verge of tears.
Because... what she was wearing today was Haku Yowane's evening dress.
Maybe she was being a bit conceited saying this about herself, but Su Mo felt she really was super beautiful right now.
A beautiful Saintess entering another world full of evil creatures with minds full of lewd thoughts—how did this script feel so... wrong!
Just as Su Mo was processing the information she'd just received with complex emotions.
Perhaps sensing the aura around Su Mo.
The goddess statue burst with brilliant white light, and the next second, a pure white umbrella automatically floated into Su Mo's hands.
Looking at this umbrella's sharp tip and sturdy yet elegant frame.
Su Mo held it in her palm and swung it a couple times.
Feeling the vitality in her body—that unprecedented sense of health.
Su Mo's sense of wrongness increased by two points.
So... what's the situation now?
They even gave me a weapon at the start—what kind of game is this, sending me to my doom?
This is not right!
Can I go back to reality?
As if sensing Su Mo's inner thoughts.
[Ding, Challenge System warm reminder: time rewind formation requires approximately 5 days to re-gather and request permission from the Main God System. Please survive well during these five days, host. If you successfully survive and subjugate the Demon King, it will likely reduce the difficulty of future Heartbeat Hide and Seek challenges. Given this world's special nature, fortunately, the host doesn't need to worry about life-threatening crises in this world!]
Hearing the first part of her sister system's notification, Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Good thing it wasn't some clichéd plot where she needed to defeat the Demon King to return.
But hearing the celebratory part at the end... Su Mo's forehead couldn't help but show a black line.
Emmmmmmmm she somewhat suspected that her originally innocent sister had gotten a bit corrupted recently.
Not good—after reviving her, she'd definitely need to educate her properly.
Just as Su Mo understood this world's general situation and was thinking about how to spend these five days.
Rustle rustle... rustle rustle~
Abnormal sounds suddenly came from the lush grass in front of her.
Su Mo, holding her bone umbrella, gently parted the grass.
She saw two creatures like fat little white worms from rice, crawling toward her.
But unlike the tiny rice worms, these two worms were as big as Su Mo's palm, looking round and plump with juice.
Seeing these distinctively characteristic little fat worms, Su Mo didn't pay too much attention.
After all, the size difference was really too great.
Puff puff~
But the next second, to Su Mo's surprise.
The two little worms actually leaped to Su Mo's knees and sprayed out two dense spider webs.
[Ding, detected host attacked by larva spider web, Sensitivity +1, Agility decreased by 3 points.]
Hearing the notification in her mind, feeling the stickiness on her body, and seeing the two worms that had unknowingly reached under her skirt, preparing to jump and attack some indescribable parts.
Su Mo's pretty face reddened slightly as she raised her bone umbrella and slashed at the larvae.
Pop pop~
If this were real life, Su Mo would feel tired just from swinging a paper umbrella.
But with the Saintess Constitution enhancement, Su Mo discovered her strength had increased tremendously, and her speed was frighteningly fast.
The two wrong little rice worms quickly burst under Su Mo's single strike.
Seeing the two little worms' bodies full of white turbid liquid with no brains at all.
Su Mo's mood became somewhat complicated.
So... this other world really is not right!
How do the other world creatures truly have minds full of lewd thoughts.
This discovery even gave Su Mo a feeling that the Demon King named Shallow Silk might possibly be that lewd loli An Xiaoqian.
Just as Su Mo was thinking while bending down to remove the wrong spider web from her legs.
With the change in viewing angle as she lowered her head, Su Mo discovered...
Many small worms were crawling toward her from all directions in the grass.
Behind these small worms was a slowly moving white worm king.
In the center of that white worm king was a thick, wrong-looking tentacle that seemed to be trembling and searching for beautiful girls in a wrong way.
Looking at that white worm king, although Su Mo faintly felt that if she struck it with her umbrella, the explosion scene would definitely be very interesting.
But thinking that killing monsters not only gave no experience but would also dirty herself.
Her current primary mission was survival.
Su Mo ultimately turned and ran.
Since there was no map in the other world and it was her first time here, Su Mo without a map could only follow her instincts to move.
Although the ground in the other world Su Mo was in belonged to wetlands with very few stone roads.
But because Su Mo had thrown off her high heels before time rewind to control the truck, her pale white little feet had been scraped with some wounds.
Now as Su Mo ran through the other world, every time her little feet touched the ground, Su Mo's small face couldn't help but pale two shades from pain.
Su Mo had tried summoning shoes from the system space or buying new shoes.
But the Challenge System told her it could only be used in 'urban backgrounds'—other worlds required other world systems, which it had no authority to interfere with.
After getting rid of the white big worm, Su Mo encountered a group of pursuing goblins and fat pig-headed men along the way, but fortunately Su Mo's agility was very high, and she shook them all off.
Su Mo didn't know how far she'd walked, feeling her pale white little feet becoming increasingly painful.
Just as Su Mo was considering whether to try using tree leaves as medicine or weaving grass shoes for herself.
She saw a simple wooden cart appear not far ahead.
Beside the cart, a warm campfire was lit, with various items arranged around the fire.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo's eyes couldn't help but flash with bright light.
Because this was obviously a merchant. Although she currently had no money from this other world.
As fellow humans, seeking some help and asking how to get out of this wrong forest would surely be good.
However, though she'd decided to approach and inquire.
Su Mo didn't rashly advance.
After all, Su Mo now knew this was another world.
Her current advantage was agility—though strength had also increased quite a bit.
Compared to natives, she was still much weaker.
If in this lawless other world, this shopkeeper was an evil male shopkeeper, and she got caught.
Emmmmmmmmmm just thinking about it, Su Mo couldn't help but think of cream puffs.
That would be no good!
Just as Su Mo planned to observe first.
Creak~
The wooden caravan's door opened from inside out.
Then Su Mo saw in disbelief a familiar figure stepping down from the cart.
Looking at this purple silhouette, Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Senior Chu, how did she get here too?"
