Mystery: Higher-Dimensional Overlookers

Chapter 540: To the New World (1)

"Jingle Bell……"

As the shrill alarm clock rang, Zhou Mingrui opened his eyes sleepily and snapped his fingers lightly. The alarm clock suddenly became quiet, as if it was covered by something.

As Zhou Mingrui stood up, the quilt slipped off, and Audrey, who was sleeping on the side, stretched out her curled up body like a kitten.

She rubbed her eyes and smiled:
"Good morning, dear, Mr. Fool?"

Hearing Audrey's words, Zhou Mingrui suddenly felt that the sleepiness he had originally retained disappeared - he coughed and quickly turned over and got out of bed - no matter how bold he was when he proposed to her, Zhou Mingrui felt how embarrassed he was now.

"I have to go to work later... No, I've already fired my boss. Oh, I can't remember these things."

Zhou Mingrui sat aside, and after a simple personal hygiene, he spoke to Audrey, who was sitting on the bed and slowly putting on her clothes, in a casual tone:

"I still feel a little uncomfortable. Alas, I only stayed there for three years, but I didn't expect it would be so difficult to return to the state I was in before..."

Zhou Mingrui muttered, waved his hand, and the large amount of dust in the room was quickly "fooled" away. He rolled up his bedding and left.

Just as Zhou Mingrui was tidying up the clutter in the room, trying to avoid a pile of clutter, Audrey came out of the Kingdom of Fools (the bathroom), gently covered her mouth, and said to Zhou Mingrui with a smile:

"Yes, no one would have thought that Mr. Fool, who is admired by everyone in the Tarot Club, is now doing housework himself..."

"Moreover, only five days have passed since you created the new world, and it's only your third day here. You haven't been able to adapt to the rhythm here, which just proves that you are still a true 'human' deep down in your heart."

Do it myself? You mean I "fooled" the dust, made it come alive and then kicked myself out? Zhou Mingrui complained a little in his heart, and then he felt relieved:
In the eyes of the people in the mysterious world, the gods themselves using their authority to "sweep the floor" can indeed be regarded as "doing it themselves"...

He calmed himself down and said to Audrey, "What are your plans later?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. After all, this place is more familiar to you." Audrey tilted her head and spoke to Zhou Mingrui in front of her. Zhou Mingrui pressed his lips with his fingers and said tentatively:
"After breakfast, should we go to Lao Gao's place? Lao Gao seems to be in a bad mood since the last battle. I didn't bother him in the past two days because he didn't want to communicate with others."

Just like Audrey said before, they had only been in this world for three days. Every day in the first two days was a new experience for Audrey. In addition, Zhou Mingrui could not contact Gao Wei, so the plan to visit Gao Wei had to be put on hold for the time being.

"it is good."

Audrey nodded. "But it turns out that this Creator was unwilling to meet others before? I thought..."

Zhou Mingrui said in a deep voice: "After all, he was just like the original creator at that time. He recreated this world and then divided the authority of the pillars again. Perhaps he was too tired... maybe."

"Actually, you could be a little tougher when you speak." Audrey poked Zhou Mingrui's face, which even she herself could hardly hold back, and walked out with Zhou Mingrui.

Walking out of the bedroom, I arrived at Zhou Mingrui’s own dining table.

A middle-aged man sitting at the wooden dining table was holding a newspaper in both hands, with a cup of steaming tea in a ceramic jar in front of him.

He just raised his frowning eyebrows slightly and glanced at Zhou Mingrui who walked out of the bedroom.

Then when he saw the beautiful girl following Zhou Mingrui, his frown immediately relaxed, he put the newspaper aside, and hurriedly stood up from the dining table:
"Hey, Audrey, are you getting used to living in my house? I don't know why you fell in love with my little Zhou..."

Seeing his father's completely different attitudes toward himself and Audrey, Zhou Mingrui suddenly felt the disparity in the world.

After Gao Wei reversed time, those eras that had disappeared with the destruction of the spiritual world as the times changed reappeared before everyone. The only difference from before was that this time the world seemed to have no extraordinary abilities - of course, except for them.

After discovering that the three years he had experienced were not a dream, Klein immediately used the authority of the Lord of Mysteries to go to the starship where the Loen Republic was located to check the situation. After the gods returned, several "gods" quickly controlled the situation.

Then, as he approached the solar system with a nervous mood, Zhou Mingrui discovered that, in addition to those star ships, there was a blue "gem" quietly touching the original position of the earth.

He had never felt so nervous on his way home, but when he found that his family was sitting safely in his home, Zhou Mingrui was overjoyed and even hugged his mother and cried involuntarily.

——It is said that Huang Tao also cried when he returned home, but now he is explaining to his mother why he has a teenage daughter when he is only in his thirties.

According to what the real creator said, Huang Tao is about to be beaten by his parents in a mixed doubles match.

And Zhou Mingrui certainly did not tell his mother directly that he had been to a "different world" for the past few days - instead, he happily fired his boss and brought Audrey back home, using the excuse that he was preparing to get married and change jobs.

During this period, he was indeed able to contact Gao Wei through the authority of the Lord of Mysteries, but Gao Wei was unwilling to reveal his location.

Just two days ago, Gao Wei, who had been in a state of malfunction, sent a message to Klein to tell him his current coordinates, and told him to come find him after Klein had settled himself and Audrey.

Therefore, Klein, who had been giving himself a holiday for the past two days and clearing out the redundant ownerless Beyonder characteristics in the mysterious world, finally had a complete rest and was preparing to take Audrey to visit the creator of the current universe today.

He wanted to know, was Gao Wei really able to accomplish what he was pursuing in the mysterious world? And what happened in the final battle?
Zhou Mingrui watched Audrey, who was talking fluently with his father, tiptoe to the kitchen and stand behind his mother.

Mother Zhou glanced at the man next to her and found out it was her son and started to nag:

"I don't know how she fell in love with you. You have to be nice to Audrey. She is finally marrying into our family..."

Obviously, Zhou Mingrui's mother did not expect that her child could "trick" a girl who looks like a TV star from outside.

The most important thing is that she looks only about 18 or 19 years old, which is not yet the legal age for marriage. Even after Zhou Mingrui repeatedly stated that Audrey was now in her twenties (which was a lie), Zhou's mother still did not believe it.

Even though she didn't know Audrey's family background, based on the tone of her voice, Zhou's mother could tell that this girl was definitely not from an ordinary family.

Zhou Mingrui smiled awkwardly: "Mom, actually I can also..."

"Eat your meal and see what you can do."

Zhou's mother opened the rice cooker next to her in annoyance, carefully took out a basket of steaming dumplings from the steamer, and handed it to Zhou Mingrui.

"I've prepared breakfast for the two of you. Remember to bring the two bowls of noodles over later. The girl likes you, so you must not let her down... Mingrui, she looks like she has just reached adulthood. You really haven't done anything illegal, have you?"

"How could your son do something illegal?" Zhou Mingrui looked at his worried mother and felt hesitant to laugh or cry. "I know my limits, Mom."

"That's good..." Mother Zhou seemed to be relieved, patted Zhou Mingrui on the shoulder, and said softly:

"Speaking of which, Audrey is a foreign girl. Can she get used to the food here? Do you want me to buy some bread later?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I met Audrey when I was on a business trip two years ago. I just didn't tell you because I wasn't sure at the time." Zhou Mingrui grinned and said, "I've cooked a lot of dishes for her."

"That's right, that's all you have that makes you popular with girls." Zhou's mother thought about it with relief: "So what are you going to do later? Are you going on a date?"

"I'm going to visit a friend first, and then I'm going to take Audrey out for a walk and have a look." Zhou Mingrui thought for a moment and said to his mother.

Then he watched his mother take out a few red bills from her arms and put them in his hands:

"Don't treat him unfairly. Hey, you've never been in a relationship before. I thought my son couldn't find a partner."

"You really should change your job. You stay in the company every day, have no chance to go out, and don't have two female colleagues around you. How can you find a partner?"

While listening to his old mother's nagging with a happy look on her face, Zhou Mingrui quietly took out the basket of steamed dumplings and two bowls of noodles, and began to enjoy his breakfast happily with Audrey.

……

"drop."

Since Audrey had no identification or cell phone, Zhou Mingrui could only take out his cell phone to buy two physical tickets, and then brought Audrey into the station.

Although Zhou Mingrui could have taken Audrey directly to the "open door", but considering that he wanted to bring Audrey to experience life here, he deliberately avoided rush hour and took Audrey to the subway station.

Along the way, passers-by turned their heads to look at him frequently, mainly because of Audrey who was beside Zhou Mingrui.

As for those who took out their mobile phones and wanted to take some rude photos of Audrey, they were "fooled" by Zhou Mingrui and stood there in silence for a long time.

"I've seen you use something similar before." Audrey said to Zhou Mingrui, who had just taken out his phone to buy a ticket. She was referring to the rectangular crystal block that Zhou Mingrui had used before. Zhou Mingrui smiled:

"That's something that High Dimension created to recall this era... Most of the mechanical and entertainment products released by Backlund are just products here that have been optimized using the Transcendental System."

"I'll go to the store and buy one for you later... Well, I'm just not sure what to do with your identity now. The identity verification procedures here are indeed much stricter than before in the Loen Republic, but it is precisely because of these certificates that the public security here is much better than outside."

"By the way, this place corresponds to the 'Western Continent' that was previously sealed by the source substance. The hometown of the True Creator and the Goddess of Night corresponds to the 'Western Continent'."

"Okay." Audrey nodded, took Zhou Mingrui's arm, and walked towards Gao Wei's home with him.

After walking out of the subway station, they walked a long way, but according to their physical fitness, they did not feel tired.

However, this place was already close to the suburbs, and after penetrating a layer of mystical barrier, Zhou Mingrui finally managed to squeeze into Gao Wei's territory with Audrey, who was playing with a small mobile phone.

"It's hidden really well..." Zhou Mingrui said with a grin, but Audrey sighed softly:
"After all, judging from what you told me about Gao Wei, he doesn't actually belong here. This place is also a foreign land to him. For a stranger, living in a secluded place or in a busy city actually makes no difference."

Zhou Mingrui paused for a moment, then he sighed slowly and said to Audrey beside him:

"yes……"

"I hope Gao Wei is doing well now, because his dreams of helping us have come true, but he... I don't know how I can help him, so I still have to ask him what he thinks."

"I'm sorry, Audrey. Although I should be with you these few years, if Gao Wei needs my help..."

He was a little hesitant and didn't know how to start.

"it does not matter."

Audrey gently held Zhou Mingrui's hand:

"You've done very well. If you gave up your responsibilities for me, I would think that would be unlike you. You, the goddess, and the Creator have all inherited the authority of the pillars. I also have my own extraordinary characteristics in me, all thanks to Mr. Gao Wei..."

Audrey smiled: "After all, this peaceful scene is really nice."

Zhou Mingrui looked at Audrey gratefully and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and inside the door was a person sitting at the table, while two other figures were fighting with each other on the ground. Behind the sitting figure was a girl with her arms crossed, who looked very angry.

Zhou Mingrui turned his gaze to the children fighting with each other in astonishment, and found that the shadows of Tianzun and God could be clearly seen in their faces.

Gao Wei, who was sitting at the table, raised his chin towards Zhou Mingrui: "Are you here?"

　I'm hungry after writing about Audrey and Klein's breakfast. I'm going to have a midnight snack. Please let me know.
