Chapter 220: Hoshiguma: Woke up too early
Chapter 220: Hoshiguma: Woke up too early! Ch’en-senpai actually contacted Penguin Logistics?
Exusiai: "Let’s talk about serious business!" Exusiai quickly changed the subject; she didn’t want Ch’en to expose all her secrets.
Exusiai: "Ch’en Sir, the Doomsday Chat Group wasn’t made by Penguin Logistics. The introduction Ren sent is all true."
Ch’en: "What evidence do you have to prove it?"
Even though Exusiai said it, Ch’en didn’t believe her. She couldn’t even be sure that the person speaking was Exusiai herself.
Tendo Kisara: "Ho, it seems Exu’s acquaintance is quite vigilant."
Furina: "After all, as a maintainer of law, vigilance should be an essential quality."
Vivi: "At least Ch’en doesn’t seem like a bad person."
Exusiai: "Ch’en Sir, as for evidence, I’ll demonstrate it for you."
Exusiai glanced at the box of Pocky in Texas’s hand and snatched it.
Texas’s slowly wagging tail froze, and her eyes looked at Exusiai with a question mark. What puzzled her even more was that the snatched Pocky had disappeared into thin air.
Texas’s downcast eyes looked levelly at Exusiai, her voice calm. "Exu... shouldn’t you explain this to me?"
Exusiai tilted her head, her right fist resting on her head, her small tongue slightly sticking out. She let out an "Eh heh!" trying to cutely muddle through.
On the other side, Ch’en saw the Chat Group’s notification.
[Ding! Exusiai sent a private red packet to Ch’en!]
In a state of alert and caution, Ch’en hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to claim the red packet.
[Ch’en has claimed the red packet!]
Immediately after, a box of already opened Pocky appeared in her black-gloved hand. She picked up the Pocky and carefully examined it.
This indeed seemed to be just a box of Pocky, not some strange Originium bomb or anything.
Hoshiguma had been watching the dazed Old Ch’en since just now. Now she was a bit confused. Old Ch’en was in a daze, then somehow pulled out a box of Pocky, and then she was seriously examining it repeatedly.
Old Ch’en wouldn’t be under too much stress and mentally unstable, would she? Hoshiguma felt it was necessary to report to her superiors and suggest giving Old Ch’en a vacation.
Ch’en didn’t know what Hoshiguma was thinking, but a storm was raging in her heart. She looked around. Besides Hoshiguma, there was no one else. She could confirm that no one else had placed the Pocky in her hand, nor had she bought it herself; it had appeared out of thin air. She hadn’t made any extra movements, only claimed Exusiai’s red packet. There was a connection between the two.
Ch’en: "Exusiai, what’s with this box of Pocky?"
Exusiai: "See? That’s the Chat Group’s function. You can send your items directly to others using red packets."
Exusiai: "I’m in Penguin Logistics’ dorm now, and I just snatched Texas’s Pocky and gave it to you."
Ch’en: "..."
Ch’en lowered her head, gazing at the Pocky in her hand. Her location was more than a dozen streets away from Penguin Logistics, yet it was instantly transmitted to her hand from such a distance. This kind of technology or ability was simply unheard of.
Ch’en still had one thing to verify. Only after verifying that point could she largely believe this was true. She took out her phone, found Penguin Logistics’ contact number, and dialed it.
"Hello, Ch’en Sir, may I ask why you’re contacting Penguin Logistics?" From the voice, Ch’en determined that the one who answered the phone was the seemingly gentle Empty.
She cleared her throat and said, "I need to speak with Exusiai."
"Oh, oh, I’ll call her over right away. Exu, you have a call here, it’s from Ch’en Sir."
"Huh?" Ch’en heard Exusiai’s exclamation and a flurry of footsteps, then heard Exusiai speak.
"Ch’en Sir, you don’t still disbelieve and specifically called me to confirm, do you?"
"..."
Alright, now she could confirm that Exusiai was indeed Exusiai.
"Mm, it’s nothing, hanging up." After saying that, Ch’en decisively hung up the phone. She couldn’t confirm the authenticity of different worlds and transmigration, but now, at least, she could confirm that this couldn’t be Penguin Logistics’ technology, nor could it be the technology of any other country.
Hoshiguma sat blankly on her motorcycle. I must have woken up too fast. Old Ch’en actually took the initiative to contact Penguin Logistics? Didn’t she say every day that Penguin Logistics was a troublemaker?
In the Chat Group, Exusiai: "Oh my god, Ch’en Sir actually didn’t believe I was me, and even called to confirm!"
Ren: "Tsk tsk, she’s a senior police superintendent from Lungmen. Isn’t it normal for her to seriously seek verification?"
Mumei: "Big Brother is very right. Horobi also taught me to seriously seek verification in everything."
Reinhardt: "Agreed. I also verified the authenticity of the Chat Group many times at first."
Ch’en: "Hehe, Exusiai, you’re very good. After your Pocky, I’ll invite you for tea."
Exusiai: "Ah? No way!"
Ch’en: "Don’t overthink it, it’s really just tea." She did want to properly understand this Chat Group with Exusiai.
Spirit of Time: "Oh my, oh my, I seem to have encountered something extraordinary."
Spirit of Time: "The essence of this Chat Group actually transcends time. No matter which point in the past I return to, the Chat Group still exists. It’s truly astonishing."
Momonga: "!!!"
Momonga: "The newcomer is so scary right from the start. Able to return to the past, is she a big shot who manipulates time?"
Esdeath: "The same power as Ren? I just don’t know the intensity of her ability’s application."
Kiana: "..." I have reason to suspect you’re referring to me.
Spirit of Time: "Well, I’m not strong at all, just an ordinary Spirit."
Ren already had a rough guess about this person’s identity. Spirit of Time...Tokisaki Kurumi. How are you ordinary?
Ren: "Spirit of Time, I suggest using your real name in the group."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Greetings everyone, I am Tokisaki Kurumi, a Spirit. If the introduction is true, you all should be friends from Otherworlds."
Mikasa: "Mm."
Nami: "That’s fine to say, but you just believed it?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Oh my, there’s nothing else to do. It itself transcends time, and I am powerless against this thing. What can I do if I don’t believe it?"
Nami: "...What you said makes so much sense."
March 7th: "Tokisaki Kurumi is a Spirit, Emilia is a Half-Elf. Are you two related? Tokisaki Kurumi’s verbal tic is the same as Shinobu Kocho’s!"
Shinobu Kocho: "..." Alright, Shinobu Kocho had to admit that point; she also had a slight habit of saying "oh my."
Emilia: "I don’t know either. I suppose the definition of Spirits differs in different worlds."
Ren: "Don’t mind those things, you are indeed different."
