When her consciousness woke up from the darkness..,
Su Yu heard the sound of a porcelain cup and a silver spoon gently knocking against each other.
The faint aroma of coffee floated in the air,
The mattress under her body was soft and comfortable,
Her neck was still aching faintly,
It was this pain that completely woke Su Yu up.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
What entered her eyes was a white ceiling,
At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything unusual,
Sunlight was shining in from the window on the other side,
Through the snow-white curtains, it turned into soft light.
Yes,
This was an unfamiliar bedroom, with white as the main theme,
The entire room was clean and simple. The only question was how did she appear here.
There was no feeling of bandages on her face, and even her clothes seemed to have been changed,
Su Yu moved,
She propped herself up from the bed,
But unexpectedly felt a hard touch on her wrist.
It was a pair of iron rings made of an unknown metal,
As if they had grown naturally on the skin lines, they clung to the skin of her wrist,
There was not a single gap,
It would not affect the normal movement of her wrist, it would just be a bigger movement,
It would make people feel a little uncomfortable.
More importantly..,
She could not touch the switch of the portable space on her wrist.
An external prop was, after all, a prop,
It was just an instrument implanted in her body,
She could not control her mind,
And the way to master this portable space item was to have direct contact with it.
But now she could not touch it.
Su Yu's heart suddenly became flustered. He quickly reached out and fumbled for his clothes.
Sure enough, the store manager's key that she carried with her was also gone.
If all the previous situations had not shaken her, then now Su Yu was probably truly panicking.
Of course, there was no danger to her life, but now it was even more dangerous than facing a life-and-death situation!
Just as she was sitting in the same place and letting her imagination run wild, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her. "You woke up earlier than I expected. Is there anything wrong with your body?"
The voice was deep and magnetic. It sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
Su Yu turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. Beside the small coffee table by the window, a man in a white shirt and black trousers was holding a coffee cup in one hand. The collar of his shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the outline of his collarbone. A hardcover book was spread open on his lap. He must have been reading it for a long time.
Looking at the man with black hair and black eyes, Su Yu remembered another face with glasses. Before she could think about it, she asked, "Sirów?"
But at first glance, the two of them didn't look alike at all.
Just when she thought she had guessed wrongly, the man chuckled and admitted, "Haha, you're sharper than I thought."
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Culolo Lusi." The man put down the cup and put away the book on his lap. He stood up and walked to the bedside. "But maybe you already know me."
The man walked to the bedside in a few steps. Su Yu couldn't help but shrink back a little when he sat down. She rubbed the iron bracelet on her wrist and asked hesitantly, "You... What's with this thing? And this place, shouldn't you explain?"
The situation was developing in an unsettling direction, but Su Yu tried her best to calm herself down and not show any signs of panic.
It had only been two years since she stepped out of the shop, and this world was the first place she set foot in without a proper disguise. She didn't seem to have a clear understanding of her own strength.
If she could get through this predicament safely, perhaps the next time she encountered such a dangerous world, she would choose to abandon the awkwardness in her heart and install more abilities.
But the use of abilities and the formation of Mary Sue's aura still needed to be balanced. No matter what, she couldn't do anything recklessly.
Just as Su Yu continued to let her imagination run wild, Culolo nodded calmly. "I found this in a ruin. I didn't know what it was used for, but now it seems that it was prepared for you."
He reached out and touched the metal bracelet on the girl's wrist. The thin metal bracelet was warmed by her body temperature, and it didn't feel cold at all.
Su Yu tensed up the moment he approached her. She remained in her original position and didn't move an inch. She allowed the man's fingers to tap the metal hoop, as if he was teasing a bird in a cage.
"… But why," Su Yu couldn't help but ask after a moment of silence. She raised her head and looked into the man's eyes. Her pair of amethyst-like eyes were full of confusion. She tried to use her most familiar way of thinking to explain, "Why do you want to catch me? If you just want something, we can discuss it, but if you say it …"
"I have already gotten what I want," Culolo interrupted her. There was a hint of a smile in his voice, and the hand on her wrist moved to the girl's raised chin. "What do you think is more precious than yourself?"
His voice was affectionate and affectionate. At first glance, it sounded like a whisper in the ear of a lover. In his words, the girl widened her eyes in confusion, as if she was asking him for an answer. No matter what expression she made, her carefully sculpted facial features were breathtakingly beautiful. It was as if a slight flutter of her eyelashes could cause the heart to stop beating. But the person who stirred up all these waves still looked innocent, as if he didn't have the slightest awareness of her beauty.
It was this unselfconscious attitude that made people want to grab hold of her and obtain something from her.
It was easier to arouse some of the instinctive desires of human beings.
Her attention was accidentally attracted by those eyes. The man's pair of bottomless black eyes stared at her as if he was suddenly lost in thought. Seeing this, Su Yu couldn't help but ask tentatively, "I … can provide you with a lot of things. As long as you can think of it, it's possible …"
She was a little unconfident when she said this. Culolo didn't seem to know about the existence of the store. She wasn't sure if things would go in a worse direction after she revealed it to him.
Although she was the only one who could use the store manager's key, she couldn't be too sure about anything. What if something unexpected really happened?
For example, the current situation.
The girl looked away guiltily and turned her head away. She wanted to get out of the man's control, but she was stopped by Culolo's sudden increase in strength.
"It's better for you to put away your thoughts and stay obediently." The man's smiling voice sounded very gentle, but there was a strength in his words that couldn't be refused.
His fingertips gently rubbed the girl's delicate skin, bringing a tingling feeling.
"You will be my most perfect collection so far." He stared straight at the girl's face, his eyes were full of undisguised aggression, as if he had already regarded her as his own. "The eighth most beautiful woman in the world."
From the first time he saw her face, he thought so.
Su Yu couldn't help but hold her breath when she heard his words. A chill gradually rose from her tailbone to the back of her head. She was clearly listening to the man express his infatuation with her, but Su Yu had seen people who were attracted by her appearance. It was completely different from the man in front of her.
He didn't seem to be blinded by beauty. Instead, he was terrifyingly clear-headed and knew what he wanted very clearly.
The way he looked at her did not seem like he was looking at someone of the same level as him. Instead, he looked at her as an object, a decoration. It was enough that she had the most perfect appearance. As for her life itself, her existence as a human, he did not care at all.
Just as he said, it was just a collectible.
This realization made Su Yu's panic rise to another level.

No matter how unwilling she was, Su Yu still lived in this house.
It was a two-story bungalow, but it seemed like only she and Ku Luoluo lived together. She was still sleeping in the room she had slept in when she first woke up, and Ku Luoluo was in the other room next door.
The doors and windows of the entire house weren't locked. It seemed that Culolo didn't mind her going out alone. Sometimes, he even left her alone here. But now that she had lost all her props and the store manager's key, letting Su Yu walk on the street with this body that Culolo praised as one of the 'Eight Great Beauties in the World' was definitely an unimaginable disaster.
Coupled with the growing aura of Mary Sue on her body, Su Yu painfully stopped her escape when she thought of the possible consequences.
Although being by that man's side was indeed scary, it was still better to stay behind.
Su Yu had also thought of using the Eye of Venus to control Culolo for a short period of time, ordering him to hand over the key and remove the iron ring, but the effect of a short period of time control would be affected by the strength of the other party's spirit. As for Culolo, although she had only known him for a short period of time, Su Yu also understood that he wasn't someone who could be casually controlled.
As long as she used her ability once, there was a possibility of being exposed. Once the ability of her eyes was exposed, she didn't know if this man would think of a more terrible way to treat her.
The young girl was wearing a white dress of excellent quality, curled up into a ball on the sofa.
She also thought of Kyōko. She didn't know if Kyōko would be worried if she stayed in the store alone for a few days without any news.
"No, even if it's for Kyōko, I have to quickly think of a way …" She buried her face in her arms and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
These past few days, the two got along very well. Su Yu didn't have the idea of taking the initiative to talk to the other party, and Culolo also treated her as if she was just a decoration. He only minded his own business, reading books and newspapers, holding ancient books that were as thick as bricks to search for things. He didn't even ask her to eat with him.
In line with the idea that the body was the capital of revolution, Su Yu didn't dare to go on a hunger strike. When it was time for dinner, she consciously went into the kitchen to find something to eat.
In fact, she could wait until the aura of Mary Sue grew strong enough to conquer that man's will. Naturally, he would listen to her, but it was hard to say whether the waiting time was long or short. Sitting and waiting for death was also very uncomfortable. She had to find something that she could do now.
Su Yu closed her eyes tiredly. At this time, she suddenly thought of the pink haired youth.
If he was a person with superpowers, he wouldn't be trapped in this situation. In the end, it was her own weakness and ignorance that caused all of this. In fact, when she faced the youth's straightforward and passionate feelings in the last world and really lost control, she should have expected all of this.
As she reflected, Su Yu couldn't help but think of the words that person said before he left.
After thinking about it, she laughed at herself. No one understood the distance between worlds better than her. Even if it was a person with superpowers, wanting to cross worlds to find her was almost impossible.
She turned over on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Following the youth's memory, Su Yu began to recall the past. At this time, there was nothing to do, so she began to recall. Following the direction of the flow of time, suddenly, the face of the girl that had been a little blurry in her memory suddenly appeared.
It was when she was still training with the cheerleading team. During a break, when Nana Kawakami talked about her original intention of joining the cheerleading team, she said to her.
"… Actually, I didn't think that much. I just felt that in a new environment, I should do something different …"
"Something different …" Staring at the ceiling, Su Yu couldn't help but murmur along with the voice in her memory.
When you feel that you are in a difficult situation, trying to do something different is also a feasible solution.
She suddenly sat up from the sofa. It was as if she had suddenly found the center of gravity in her life. Her fighting spirit suddenly rose.
"Something different … Yes, the breakthrough must be something that I don't want to try." She bit her finger and her eyes kept darting left and right, as if she was trying to find the answer quickly.

That evening, after a simple dinner, Culolo walked into the study as usual. He was looking for information for the exploration team's next mission to ensure that the place they chose was really worth exploring.
When he heard the knock on the door, Culolo raised his head in surprise. After a short pause, the thick wooden door was pushed open a small gap. Then, a tray came in from the gap, followed by the girl's forearm with a silver ring, and finally, her unparalleled face.
At this time, her face was no longer expressionless like before. The girl blinked and showed him a slightly shy smile. She didn't walk into the study immediately. Instead, she leaned against the door frame and asked carefully.
"I … tried to make some biscuits, Culolo, are you interested in trying?"
