Mystery: Higher-Dimensional Overlookers

Chapter 545: To the New World (6)

"Mom, you don't need to do this..."

Zhou Mingrui wanted to dissuade her, but seeing how motivated his mother was, he could only smile helplessly:
"Then, I'll look forward to the food that mom will prepare for us. Mom, I'm going to pick them up."

Father Zhou put down the newspaper in his hand and said as if he didn't care: "Don't neglect the little girl!"

Zhou Mingrui waved his hand, telling his father not to worry about the matter, then walked through the door of his house and disappeared in front of his parents with a little gray mist on his body.

Watching his son disappear from his sight, Zhou Mingrui's father was silent for a while, then he picked up the newspaper in his hand again and slowly walked into the room.

But just as he was about to run back to his room, he was grabbed by Zhou Mingrui's mother and dragged outside without any explanation.

Comrade Zhou, knowing that he had no escape from going out with his wife to buy vegetables, closed his eyes helplessly and resigned himself to following Zhou Mingrui's mother to the vegetable market.

……

Zhou Mingrui secretly paid attention to his father's situation. After seeing that his parents were not frightened or showed any other expression at the abilities he displayed, he heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards his home in the mysterious world.

Benson and Melissa had been waiting for a long time. The only one who was relatively calm was Klein Morey.

But after all, he inherited a part of Zhou Mingrui's memory and soul. At this moment, he felt particularly... nervous and unfamiliar about meeting "his" parents after picking up Audrey.

After the cold side effects of divinity disappeared, his mental state was obviously not as indifferent as before, and his mind was much more active.

Zhou Mingrui pushed open the door and waved his hand, and a carriage suddenly appeared outside the door.

The pedestrians around did not feel anything was wrong with the sudden appearance of the carriage, but just walked on the street and continued to do their own things.

He opened the door of the carriage, placed his left hand on his chest, performed standard Loen gentleman etiquette towards the three siblings, and sat in the carriage with the three of them.

As the rhythmic sound of horse hooves "clattered" rang out, Zhou Mingrui looked out the window. At this moment, Melissa, who had been sitting quietly on the side, suddenly opened her mouth and said to Zhou Mingrui:
"That... Miss Audrey, I have only seen her at the mass of the Church of the Night. Well, Zhou Mingrui, can you tell me what kind of person she is?"

Hearing his sister ask this, Zhou Mingrui suddenly showed a slight smile on his face. He turned his gaze from the window to Melissa and answered his sister:

"She is a kind person. At the beginning, she was just an ordinary little girl from a noble family. She was well protected by her family, so she was full of curiosity about the exciting and dangerous extraordinary world."

Zhou Mingrui paused for a moment and continued, "Audrey and I got to know each other by chance. At first, I didn't know her identity, and she didn't know mine either."

"Then, we worked together many times under these circumstances, and it was not until later that she discovered that she and I had met in real life during the low sequence."

Zhou Mingrui was referring to the experience of meeting Audrey through the Tarot Club, as well as the many contacts that Mr. "The World", who was hiding his identity, had with Audrey.

After that, Audrey discovered Zhou Mingrui's identity as "the World" because of these previous contacts, and further discovered that "the World" was equal to the identity of "the Fool".

"Wow..." Melissa covered her mouth gently and looked at her brother with wide eyes.

Zhou Mingrui's eyes were filled with reminiscence, and he said:
"She is a pure and kind person. She is not like other nobles who are full of the arrogance and ignorance of some old nobles. She is a kind person, but when facing evil, she can also strike decisively and not be indecisive."

"I think in this chaotic and distorted world, her innocence and kindness are like a dazzling light, very rare and precious, more dazzling than the gems she wears."

Klein, whose face resembled Zhou Mingrui's but lacked some of his oriental features, spoke up:
"You are so good at saying sweet words now, why didn't you dare to say it before?"

He seemed to be quite disappointed with his friend.

Zhou Mingrui was choked when he heard the word "himself". He then remembered that Moretti had given him and Audrey a great assist before they faced Amon, which indirectly led to Audrey guessing his identity later.

If it weren't for this reason, Klein thought that he might not have made up his mind to express his feelings to Audrey before entering the Western Continent - then naturally there would be no story afterwards.

Seeing Melissa turning towards him, with an expression similar to that of a modern person wanting to "eat melons", Zhou Mingrui immediately laughed:
"You? You're still talking about me?"

What he means is, you don’t even have a girlfriend, and you still have the nerve to talk about me?
Klein suddenly wilted like a flower. He scratched his head, laughed, and passed the matter over - after all, unlike Zhou Mingrui, he really had no chance to come into contact with women.

It's even harder after becoming an angel.

Zhou Mingrui, who moved back to the city, raised the corners of his mouth happily, chatting with his brother and sister while looking at the scenery outside the window.

After the sound of horse hooves gradually stopped, Zhou Mingrui opened the car door and walked out first with brisk steps. His family followed behind him and walked towards the single-family villa that the Hall family had rebuilt during this period and had not yet been rebuilt.

In front of the gate of the villa, an old butler with many wrinkles on his face and a lot of white hair on his head stood at the door. The old butler stood there meticulously, guarding the gate like a doorman.

In the garden in front of the villa in the center of the gate, there were several figures standing there. Zhou Mingrui saw Audrey at a glance. Behind Audrey were her father, Earl Hall, and her mother. Behind the three of them were her two brothers.

Oh, of course, there was also the "dreamy dog" Susie squatting on the side, silently standing there like an audience.

Zhou Mingrui took off his hat and walked forward a few steps, keeping a distance from his family. Behind Audrey, her father, Earl Hall, also took off his hat, walked forward, and saluted Zhou Mingrui.

After exchanging courtesies, there was no excessive pleasantries. Just a few simple conversations, and then Earl Hall took his daughter and sent her to the carriage.

Audrey waved to her parents excitedly and said goodbye to them, just like a child on a spring outing in modern Earth.

It seemed that only at this moment did she show some of the innocence and romance of a little girl.

Watching Audrey go away, Earl Hall sighed softly. He looked at the direction where the carriage left, turned his head, and said to his wife, whose eyes were slightly red:
"Audrey has grown up too."

"I didn't expect little Audrey to marry someone so soon." Earl Hall's wife said to her husband in a gentle tone, "I thought it would take a long time for Audrey to find the man of her dreams after she became the archbishop of the church."

"But I think our daughter has found her own happiness." Earl Hall comforted his wife and said:
"Look at how Audrey's expression just now resembles the way you looked when you married me?"

"That's right..." Earl Hall's wife hesitated for a while, then she sighed slowly and said to her husband:
"You said that Audrey married into another world. How long do we have to wait here before we can see Audrey again?"

“Although Mr. Zhou Mingrui is Mr. Fool’s angel, the crisis that the gods have been thinking about how to solve has now passed, and we don’t have to worry about whether they will encounter danger in another world that belongs exclusively to the gods.”

Earl Hall said confidently to his wife.

In his impression, the mysterious world where the Goddess of Night, the True Creator, and Mr. Fool came from was the world of gods.

After a brief silence, he spoke to his wife again and told her about Audrey and Zhou Mingrui's marriage.

"Look, Audrey's wedding is in two days, and I think we need to prepare for it. Even though there are no nobles now, we can't let Audrey be embarrassed at that time."

"Major General Glint, Ms. Fors, and Ms. Hugh, we must invite these partners who had a good relationship with Audrey at the time." Earl Hall continued:

"As the Archbishop of the Church of Darkness, the wedding must be held in the church, but we can also make good preparations for other things..."

In the car on the side, Zhou Mingrui's ears twitched, and he took in everything that Earl Hall had just said.

Audrey was originally communicating with Zhou Mingrui's sister Melissa, but after hearing Zhou Mingrui's thoughts, she turned her head and said to Zhou Mingrui:
"Mingrui, what did Dad just say?"

Due to the difference in status, even if Zhou Mingrui was completely defenseless against Audrey in his heart, his inner voice would not be fully revealed in Audrey's heart.

Hearing the question Audrey asked him, Zhou Mingrui laughed and gently scratched the tip of Audrey's fair nose with his hand: "Your father was just discussing with your mother how to plan our wedding."

Audrey's face suddenly turned red when she heard Zhou Mingrui's words. She looked up at Zhou Mingrui and said in a low voice, a little shyly:

"Mingrui, if you plan to let us hold the wedding here, what should your parents do?"

"I am also going to take them over." Zhou Mingrui said, "After that, I am going to build a stable door between my home here and the home over there to connect the two worlds. Then, it will be very convenient for us to travel between the two sides."

"When the time comes, as long as we have nothing to do, we can travel freely between the two worlds and live a life of our own."

"And, well, just because we got married on the mysterious Earth doesn't mean we can't get married on modern Earth. I do have a few friends who..."

Zhou Mingrui obviously thought of his college roommates (note)

As he fantasized about the future, Audrey, who had never seen Mr. World and Mr. Fool talking with such excitement, was slightly stunned, then smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay..." She leaned close to Zhou Mingrui's ear and said to him in a very low voice:
"Then, dear Mr. Zhou, let's get married soon."

"When we get married, I will accompany you to see the sky and the sea."

……

After the Moretti family made some noise in the carriage for a while, they came to the door and walked to the room specially reserved for Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui looked "serious" as he gently drew on the top, bottom, left and right of the door frame with his hands, seemingly drawing a rectangular hole.

As a faint gray mist drifted outwards from the traces Zhou Mingrui had drawn, a door suddenly appeared here.

Looking at this magical scene, Melissa and Benson on the side held their breath for a moment.

Although they were also extraordinary beings blessed by the gods, their sequences were not high and they had never seen such a magical scene.

Zhou Mingrui smiled and said to Benson and Melissa:
"Almost done. This side has been completely built."

Connecting two worlds sounds very grand, but in fact it is just building a portal between the two worlds.

For Zhou Mingrui, building a portal is not difficult. Even if it crosses the planet, it will not add any difficulty.

He turned the door with his hand and pushed it inside. Under the influence of the will of the Lord of Mysteries, the door that was permeated with a little gray mist was suddenly turned open and connected to the door of Zhou Mingrui's house.

The moment he pushed open the door, Zhou Mingrui saw that his dining table was already covered with a tablecloth and porcelain plates and bowls that his mother had bought at a "high price".

In the open trash can on one side, Zhou Mingrui could even see some things that looked like packaging bags for dishes and chopsticks. Obviously, these were the dishes that Zhou Mingrui's mother had just taken Comrade Zhou to the supermarket to buy.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

　Note:

　　According to irresponsible sources, Zhou Mingrui's college roommates were Meng Qi, Xia Feng and others...

　　There are probably two chapters left to complete in the To the New World chapter. I will post the unfinished extra chapters in the group when I have time.
