The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Su Yuanyuan's vision went black as the world's consciousness forcibly shut her down.

Night stretched out in a winding, enchanting darkness, while the sound of pouring rain shut out the noise from outside.

In the dark, narrow alley, the walls were mottled, and a figure lay under the dim streetlights.

Raindrops pelted her body, and Su Yuanyuan's eyelids twitched, finally waking her from the voice in her mind.

I'm awake. Please stop now.

[Host, you're finally awake!]

Su Yuanyuan closed her eyes and rested for a while. Her head was still a little throbbing. She slowly sat up, leaning against the wall, and glanced around.

The lights here only illuminate one area, next to a trash can. Flies were swarming around the trash can, and the stench made her frown deeply.

I want to report the World Consciousness for its lack of martial ethics and its abuse of vigilante justice.

【…Yes, host, it has been reported!】

Su Yuanyuan checked that all her things were still there, but she felt extremely empty now because she had used too much force in the last moment in the previous world.

We can use some simple magic, but let's not think about anything else for now; it'll probably take a while.

[System, do you know where we are?]

[Host, please wait a moment!]

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Yuanyuan took a hot shower in the space and changed her clothes. She planned to stay in the space tonight and didn't want to go out in the rain.

[Host, we are now in London in 1889.]

1889? What movies or TV series are set in that year? Her mind was a complete mess; she couldn't remember anything. She decided to rest for the night and think about it again tomorrow.

Su Yuanyuan fell asleep as soon as she lay down in the space, and didn't get up until her head pain subsided. She slowly finished her meal, and her complexion looked much better.

She hasn't watched enough movies; she can't remember which ones are set in London. Su Yuanyuan only knows Sherlock Holmes, and even then, she's only close to it.

After tidying herself up, Su Yuanyuan packed a few pieces of jewelry and a few items in a small bag. She needed to exchange them for some money first before deciding what to do next.

Su Yuanyuan walked out of the alley without attracting anyone's attention. As she walked, she observed the people on the street, whose social classes were clearly reflected in their clothing.

The rich are dressed in elaborate clothes, adorned with jewelry, while the poor wear only thin clothes, and some children don't even have shoes.

At the entrance of each alley, there are several scantily clad women with blank expressions and the same smiles on their faces, flirting with passing men, and occasionally a man will follow them into the alley.

Su Yuanyuan glanced at it and then looked away. She had just seen something she shouldn't have; it was a bit too much for her eyes.

Once she reached a slightly more bustling street, she quickly found a bank to exchange money. When she came out again, Su Yuanyuan could be considered a nouveau riche.

"Sir, this price is a bit too high. I'd like to take another look."

Su Yuanyuan stopped at the corner. The two people in front of her were discussing the transfer of the shop, but it seemed they couldn't agree on a price.

After seeing the boss see off the previous customers, Su Yuanyuan straightened her skirt and walked over.

"Good afternoon, sir. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop on your conversation, but may I take a look at your bookstore?"

"Oh! It's alright, ma'am. Are you looking to take over?"

The bookstore owner was a slightly overweight old man. He smiled and let Su Yuanyuan go in, telling her to look around on her own.

The bookstore was covered with thick blankets, surrounded by bookshelves, and a sofa and table were placed under the window.

A little further in is the staircase to the second floor, which is also full of books. The place isn't big, but Su Yuanyuan likes it very much. She can use the second floor to live on her own.

With a little renovation, turning this place into a cat café, she can comfortably recuperate here.

"Sir, I really like it here. I wonder how much I'll need to pay in pounds?"

"Madam, you can own this place for just three thousand pounds."

Su Yuanyuan knew nothing about the prices here, but compared to the money she had exchanged, three thousand pounds seemed quite cheap.

After discussing the details with the old man, Su Yuanyuan readily paid him half, and she would pay the other half after the remaining procedures were completed.

The old man said he would take care of the rest, and Su Yuanyuan just needed to wait there.

While the old man was handling some paperwork, Su Yuanyuan went out and encountered many stray cats. Those that were gentle and willing to go with her were all taken to the bookstore by Su Yuanyuan.

The old man was very efficient; he returned with the paperwork in the afternoon. Now the bookstore belongs to Su Yuanyuan. She only went upstairs to tidy up after seeing the old man off.

Magic really came in handy at times like this. She quickly divided the second floor into two bedrooms, one for herself and the other for the cats.

There were quite a few cats that came back with Su Yuanyuan, so the first floor definitely couldn't accommodate them all. It took an hour to tidy up the place.

"All done! We can officially open for business tomorrow."

After feeding herself and the kittens, Su Yuanyuan gave each cat a bath. It was quite a task, and even though she could use magic, she still got scratched a few times.

Finally, Su Yuanyuan was so exhausted that she collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move a single finger.

Su Yuanyuan didn't hold any opening ceremony here; she opened for business as usual the next day, as if the owner hadn't changed.

The bookstore wasn't doing very well. Sometimes Su Yuanyuan would sit on the sofa by the window all day reading, occasionally stopping to pet the cat that came up to her.

[Host, the consciousness of the previous world has sent compensation. Would you like to take a look?]

[Huh? There's compensation? Are there any penalties?]

[...Um...it means that if you accept compensation, it's as if you're forgiving it for what it did to you, and it won't have to be punished anymore.]

【Not acceptable!】

[Host, aren't you going to check what the compensation is?]

Su Yuanyuan pouted. She didn't care. If she accepted the compensation this time, wouldn't a world consciousness be able to deal with her in the future, and then give her some compensation and that would be the end of it?

【I don't need to see it!】

[Okay, host, I'll reply right away!]

Su Yuanyuan put the matter out of her mind and continued reading, showing no interest in or desire to know what punishment the world consciousness would suffer.

However, she didn't think the punishment would be too severe, since it still had to support that world. She was just making a statement; she wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated.

She had been very careful to avoid the plot, but the world's consciousness was suppressing her more and more, as if it really thought she was some Tom, Dick, or Harry that could be bullied at will.

In other words, she can't defeat the world's consciousness right now, but a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. When she has the ability, she will get her revenge.

The bell hanging on the door of Su Yuanyuan rang, indicating that a guest had arrived. She put down her book and went over.

The man who entered was a young man in a black suit and a top hat. He was quite handsome, and Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Hello, what do you need?

"Good afternoon, ma'am. May I look around at will?"

"Of course!"

He didn't want Su Yuanyuan to come along, and she understood, nodded, and sat back down on the sofa.
