As Xia Zhi spoke, he took the girl to sit on the sofa and took out his own snacks and stuffed them into her arms.

“Why? Don’t they like to work overtime?” the girl asked puzzledly.

“At least no one I know likes to work overtime.”

…If you think about it carefully, among his social circle, apart from Mafuyu and the teachers at school, there don’t seem to be many people who work properly, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

“Then why is Santa Claus willing to work overtime?” the girl asked curiously, holding a pile of snacks.

“Of course it’s for our lovely little Kotori.”

Xia Zhi touched her little head and answered her. He sensed her body slightly but did not find any spiritual crystals in her body.

If this was the scene created by her earlier memories, then it was natural that there were no spirit crystals.

However, this means that my previous guess was a little wrong.

…Does it have nothing to do with the spirit crystal?

So what caused the world to change?

Could it be… that it has something to do with Kotori herself?

Xia Zhi was thinking in his heart, and his eyes fell on the girl beside him whose cheeks were turning red. After thinking for a while, he asked:

“Want to hear a story?”

The girl blinked her eyes when she heard this and asked, “Can Santa Claus tell stories?”

“Of course, my story was praised even by the gods back then~”

Although it seems that the god listens with great interest no matter what she is told… that’s how children who have never seen the world are.

Xia Zhi coughed lightly, and in the girl’s expectant eyes, he began to make up a story:

“Legend has it that in the Kingdom of Rat, there lived a young Rat in a remote village…”

“One day, it suddenly had an idea – ‘I, the mouse, want to be a hero.’ So it went to the village chief’s house and took the best sword in the village, and embarked on the journey of becoming a lemming…”

While telling the girl a story that had no regard for logic, he was thinking about something else in his mind.

Since coming to this world, Xia Zhi could feel a vague and strange feeling, as if someone was trying to interfere with and influence him in some way, but it was blocked by the “insurance” authority he set.

Judging from the scope of application of the “insurance” that he had set up, this interference should have originally affected memory, consciousness, or… existence?

There is no doubt that such interference should come from that unknown anomaly, but it seems that its absolute characteristics are not reflected in this aspect… Or maybe I set the priority too high out of a safe mentality.

Anyway, at least we have a certain direction.

However, according to previous speculation, if the spirit crystal is not that unknown anomaly…

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi tried to select the girl herself as the abnormal positive in his mind, but he also did not get the correct feedback.

Sure enough, it’s still not right.

…Could it be that there is something that I haven’t discovered yet?

“…In the end, Rat succeeded in destroying the king, but at the cost of losing an ear. He had no choice but to give up his identity as a hero and join his uncle, where he lived a happy life with his sister…”

After simply wrapping up the story, Xia Zhi collected his thoughts and heard the sound of steady breathing next to him.

He lowered his head and saw that the girl next to him had leaned on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

My storytelling ability to hypnotize people is still as strong as it was back then.

Xia Zhi thought so in his heart, picked up her little body, and prepared to take her back to the room upstairs to sleep.

…By the way, where is her room?

Looking at the sleeping girl in his arms, Xia Zhi suddenly realized a problem. Just when he was thinking about whether he would see some bad scenes if he opened the door of someone else’s house, he saw a familiar crack suddenly appear in his vision again.

“——Click.”

…….

Chapter 1210 Beware of New Types of Trans-dimensional Abduction (

The scene in front of him changed again, and when his vision returned to normal, Xia Zhi noticed that he was standing on the balcony of a residence.

“It has changed again…”

Looking down from the balcony, gazing at the twinkling lights of distant buildings, the deserted streets were completely silent except for the occasional breeze and the chirping of insects, Xia Zhi said with emotion.

There is no doubt that, just like the previous two times, I should have come to another time and space.

The difference from last time was that this time he was very aware of what was happening around him at the moment the scene changed.

He previously believed that the characteristic of the unknown anomaly was that it could create a new real time and space corresponding to a person’s memory… But now it seems that this is not the case, or it is not just that.

It’s not like Xia Zhi hasn’t encountered anomalies like this that have the ability to create the world. The floor-to-ceiling mirror in the Service Club classroom is one of them. The only difference is that one is based on the current world as a template, and the other is based on memory.

Even Xia Zhi himself had created the world and was very clear about the difference between world reconstruction and time travel.

But no, it is neither.

In that interval, which was at least no longer than the Planck time, even the “frame-by-frame comparison” method could not capture the specific details of the moment when the scene switched. However, Xia Zhi still noticed through comparison and experience in other dimensions the subtle sense of disharmony that he had previously ignored.

This sense of incongruity confirmed to him that this was neither a simple world travel nor a normal world reconstruction.

But I actually came to another time and space

Could it be that……

“ah……”

Just as Xia Zhi was pondering, someone behind him let out a small cry of surprise, which was quickly suppressed.

He turned around and saw a red-haired girl in a white nightgown standing at the balcony door, her small hands tightly covering her mouth, her slightly wide eyes filled with surprise.

But soon, the surprise in the girl’s eyes turned into joy.

“Are you here again?” She asked Xia Zhi with a blink of her eyes, looking very happy.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: “Do you remember me?”

The girl seemed a little overwhelmed by his inexplicable question. She looked down at herself and asked nervously, “Is it, very strange?”

Weird, of course it’s weird.

It is normal for me to retain my memories. After all, at present, the priority of the characteristics of the unknown anomaly has not yet exceeded the “non-interference” setting I set for my own memory.

But for the girl…if she would have retained her original memories in this world generated by the memory subject, then she should not have shown unfamiliarity with herself in the previous time and space.

But if not, why does she remember herself now?

Xia Zhi pondered.

The difference between the two is…the order of time?

“that……”

Looking at the silent boy, after hesitating for a long time, the girl tried to ask carefully: “Today… are you here to give Christmas presents as well?”

Did I give her anything last time?

Xia Zhi came back to his senses and thought for a moment, then realized

“Sorry, no snacks this time.” He spread his hands and said.

“Oh……”

The girl lowered her head as if she was a little disappointed.

The atmosphere became quiet.. …

“…”

The girl looked down at her toes, not knowing what she was thinking. Her slightly open mouth seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she was considering her next words, and her little hands were twisting behind her back anxiously.

Seeing her looking for something to talk about but not daring to say it out loud, Xia Zhi had an idea in his mind.

“Shall I take you for a walk?” he suggested.

“Eh?” The girl looked up at him in surprise, then hesitated again after she realized what was happening.

“But… Mom doesn’t let me go out at night…”

“Just don’t tell her.” Xia Zhi replied.

“Or should I go out with you secretly?”

The girl became inexplicably excited, her eyes full of anticipation.

Why does it sound weird…Have I ever taken you out before?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, shook his head and threw these thoughts aside, then stretched out his hand to her and asked, “So… lovely Miss Kotori, are you willing to give me this face and accompany me to appreciate the beautiful night view of the city at midnight?”

If Tokisaki Kurumi were still alive, she would probably tease him by saying things like “running into someone else’s house in the middle of the night and kidnapping their daughter for a date”, right?

However, he was actually just following the topic and atmosphere to coax the child… Even if he explained it this way, he would probably only get a “hehe” response from the girl.

What a pity, there is no one to chat and complain with. I feel a little uncomfortable for a while, Xia Zhi thought.

“Yeah~!”

Restraining her inner excitement and anticipation, the girl seemed to take a deep breath, blushing as she gently placed her hand in his…

…….

Chapter 1,211 is not “world” but “history”?

“Wow–!”

The whistling sound of the wind blew past her ears, and the hem of her pajamas rustled in the cold wind. Looking down through the clouds, the girl looked down at the city and the earth below, which had shrunk countless times and were lit up like sparks. She couldn’t help but open her mouth and let out a cry of surprise.

This was a new and novel experience she had never had before, and not just the act of flying into the sky itself.

She originally thought that the boy’s words about going out for a walk were just a simple walk outside, but she didn’t expect that he would actually hold her and fly into the sky.

She was shocked at first, but after she got used to it, excitement and novelty filled her heart.

“You can fly?” The girl looked up and asked Xia Zhi who was holding her.

“It’s nothing. With hard practice, you can do it.” Xia Zhi rubbed her little head and encouraged her.

How should I practice?

The girl complained in her heart, retracted her gaze and looked back at the city below.

At this moment, she felt as if she was in a dream.

Below her were colorful lights that looked like a galaxy formed by the light of countless stars shining together, and above her was a brilliant starry sky that was clearer and brighter than ever before. The stars together emitted a faint soft light that surrounded her, giving her the illusion that she had fallen into the starry sky.

The dividing line between heaven and earth seemed to become blurred at this moment. If it weren’t for the bright moon hanging in the sky, it would be difficult to tell which was the sky and the ground?

“Look, look, that’s my home!”

She seemed to have seen something and excitedly pointed in a direction and shared it with Xia Zhi.

Xiazhi is concerned with something else.

Looking at the girl in his arms who was only wearing a thin nightgown, he asked with concern:

“are not you cold?”

Kotonori tilted her head in confusion, “Huh? No way?”

Then, she seemed to have thought of something and asked worriedly:

“Are you cold? Do you want me to go back and get you some clothes?”

As expected, she is the fire spirit of the future.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

As for clothes, forget it… Let’s not talk about whether you’re cold or not, your clothes don’t really fit me, right?

“…Want to go somewhere further afield?”

He changed the subject and asked the girl in his arms.

“Yeah, I’ll just listen to you.”
