It was a pale room.
The area of the room was not large. Nearly one-third of the space was occupied by miscellaneous items. The remaining one-third was made up of a single bed, a somewhat worn-out computer, and a bookcase filled with a mess of things.
In fact, it was more or less wrong to use the word 'pale' to describe this room. It was more like all the original colors had disappeared, leaving only black, white, and gray.
In such a room that seemed to have been abandoned by the entire world, the single bed had bright colors that did not fit in with this world.
It was a little girl.
Her long blonde hair was spread out on the white sheets. Although she had never taken care of her hair, it was smoother and shinier than the hair of the models in all the shampoo commercials.
She was wearing an oversized white shirt that did not match her physique at all. However, because of her poor sleeping posture, one side of the shirt had slipped down, revealing the girl's round and delicate shoulders. However, she did not notice it at all.
The air conditioner was carelessly draped over the girl's body. Her fair arms and thighs were exposed. That kind of whiteness was completely different from the paleness of this space. It was like the finest white jade, exuding a warm and gentle glow. Compared to the black game console that was carelessly thrown to the side, it presented a contrast of beauty.
The girl's sleeping face was so soft and cute that people would not get bored if they stayed idle and admired it for a whole day.
He wasn't sure if it was because of her sleeping posture, but the girl furrowed her delicate eyebrows in discomfort. She turned her body slightly, but because she was sleeping on the edge of the bed, this movement caused her to fall headfirst from the bed to the floor with a thud.
"Meow …"
Although it did not hurt, the impact still woke her up.
She sat on the floor like a duck, opened her eyes in a daze, and reached out to wipe her face. However, because the sleeves of her shirt were much longer than her arms, her actions made her look more like a kitten washing its face. Coupled with her sleepy face, she gave off an adorable feeling.
After stretching, the girl seemed to finally realize the strange phenomenon in her room.
So she blinked and said softly.
"So, time began to flow."
This sentence seemed to have some sort of magical power … Well, in fact, it was indeed so.
After she said this, the grayish-white room, which seemed to have been filtered, immediately returned to its normal color.
The girl yawned again. In order to ensure that her landlord wouldn't be sent back to reality no matter what he did, she had spent a lot of energy on the previous trip.
She picked up the hair tie on the bedside table. After thinking for a while, she put the hair tie back and muttered softly, "I'll ask the landlord to tie my hair this morning …"
Then, the girl sat in front of the TV and turned on the computer with ease.
The computer had just been bought not long ago. Considering the landlord's wallet, the girl had purposely bought it from a second-hand market.
After logging into the online game "White Embers" that he had been working on recently, a male mage with the ID Mo Li Mo Li appeared on the screen.
In this era where mobile games were more profitable than client-side games, game companies that dared to maintain client-side games were either rich, overconfident, or sentimental.
She didn't know which company developed and operated "White Embers". In short, this game was born just like that. As a typical MMORPG, although there was nothing special about it, it had a good reputation among the players.
As a hardcore player, the girl's character was one of the frontline fighters in the guild she belonged to. Therefore, once she went online, the guild chat was flooded with messages.
[Want to Fuck Ah Fu's Angel: Oh, Master Mo Li is online.]
[Hearing Day in Magic City: Brother Mo Li isn't here. Today, the team leader and the others could only send a substitute for the First Clear activity. It's already a failure.]
[Eight Sins's Smurf: Speaking of which, yesterday the guild leader said that he wouldn't be able to clear the activity today. He was dressed as a girl and danced to Elysium Jodo.]
[System Notification: Player "Eight Sins's Smurf" has been muted by the guild leader of the Black Dove Alliance for one day.]
[Undying Tree of Pit: F * ck, the guild leader is spying on the screen!]
[Cursed Eagle: I haven't seen Master Mo Li online for the whole day. If he doesn't want to miss the activity, is he planning to cultivate at night?]
[Mo Li Mo Li: Wo ~]
[Tea Leaves Coo Coo Coo: Where did Master Mo Li go today? Is he catching up on sleep?]
[Mo Li Mo Li: Wo went to save the city.]
[Mo Li Mo Li: Go ahead.]
[Super Heavy Armed Battleship MSC: Master Mo Li's words are still so profound … Oh right, master, when will you bring me along?]
[Nuclear Doggie: Speaking of which, I seem to have found a bug in this game! Do you guys want to hear about it?]
[Want to Fuck Ah Fu's Angel: — _ —]
[Hearing Day in Magic City: — _ —]
[Undying Tree of Pit: — _ —]
[Cursed Eagle: — _ —]
[Tea Leaves Coo Coo Coo: — _ —]
[Super Heavy Armed Battleship MSC: — _ —]
[Nuclear Doggie: Why do you have to show off your team spirit at a time like this?! Give me a little more!]
[System Notification: The guild leader of the Black Dove Alliance has added 1 contribution point to player 'Nuclear Doggie'.]
[Doggie with a nuclear bomb: I don't want this kind of useless consolation! Speaking of which, guild leader, when are you going to stop spying on the screen!]
[Mo Li Mo Li: Humans are essentially repeaters.]
[Mo Li Mo Li: Go ahead.]
After playing for a while, Mo Li jumped down from the chair.
"I'm thirsty."
She tilted her head and left the room to head to the kitchen on the first floor.
On the way, she ran into Le Zhengjing who seemed to be sleepwalking.
Judging from the other party's route, if they walked any further, they might run into her room.
Mo Li skillfully carried the girl and placed her in front of Chiyuketsu's door.
Not long after, she heard Chiyuketsu's scream from inside the room.
Then, Mo Li saw Song Yu who was standing in front of Xu Shenxing's door. Her face was red and she seemed to be hesitating to enter.
Song Yu, who was shocked by Mo Li, used a small bag of chocolates to bribe the little girl. Then, she escaped from Sakura's apartment with a suspicious blush on her face.
Then, Mo Li ran into Chihaya Fukayama who seemed to be heading to the kitchen.
This deity seemed to be hungry and wanted to have a midnight snack.
Before they reached the kitchen, Asahi Sakurakonji appeared out of nowhere. She patted her chest which was one of the best in Sakura's apartment and said that everything was on her shoulders.
A moment later, a big meal appeared in front of Mo Li and Chihaya Fukayama.
Mo Li observed three seconds of silence for the landlord who was clueless about the missing ingredients in the fridge. Then, without any psychological burden, she began to eat the midnight snack in big mouthfuls.
When she remembered that she came down to drink water, Chihaya Fukayama and Asahi Sakurakonji had already finished their midnight snacks and returned to their rooms to sleep.
"Mo Li, you're still awake?"
Mo Li boiled a pot of water. Just as she was considering if she should pour the water into the pot, a familiar voice came from the stairs.
The little girl turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Qin Xingyan who had just walked down the stairs.
The girl was wearing sportswear and had a towel draped around her neck. She looked like she was going for morning exercises.
She probably expressed her confusion about Qin Xingyan's outfit on her face. Qin Xingyan smiled and explained, "I recently joined a friend group called 'Late Night Cultivation'. They've been talking about late night cultivation. I think it might be a method to speed up cultivation with the help of the stars and moonlight, so I've been experimenting for the past two days."
"…"
Mo Li wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would be too troublesome to explain.
So, she simply nodded and said, "Have a safe trip."
Qin Xingyan also returned a smile and left Sakura's apartment.
Thus, Sakura's apartment, which was a little lively just now, once again fell into the silence of the night.
"…"
Mo Li tilted her head in confusion.
A year ago, this apartment had always been so quiet. Why did she feel a little uncomfortable now?
Since when did she get used to the noisy apartment?
Moreover, she didn't seem to dislike the feeling of noise.
Now, although she still didn't like to get along with strangers, at least she wasn't as sensitive as before.
Was this the result that the landlord wanted?
Was this what he wanted her to become?
Was she really growing in the direction that the landlord wanted her to grow?
Mo Li tilted her head. Her small brain was processing these questions that seemed a little too complicated for her.
She was clearly of the same mind as Xu Shenxing. As long as her mind was slightly synchronized, she might be able to find the answer.
But vaguely, Mo Li rejected this method from the bottom of her heart.
After a long time.
"Ah, the water is cold."
The girl whispered.
"Say it."
