What is the situation?
What happened?
Did the matter of blacking out the Shencheng District power grid and hacking into the Company to steal data get discovered by those IPC dogs, and then I got kidnapped?
The moment this thought arose, it was denied by Miss Haxxor Bunny.
Impossible!
Relying solely on that pack of IPC dogs, it's impossible for them to trace the vines back to my melon and find my tracks. Even taking ten thousand steps back, even if they found clues, there's no way they could silently capture me while I was sleeping on the third floor of Raven's Bar.
So, what exactly is going on?
Although she was in a slightly gloomy alley, the overly bright light and shadows around were enough for Miss Haxxor Bunny to see the situation inside the alley clearly. In just an instant, she could judge that this was not the architectural style of Arc City.
Continuous doubts piled up, stretching the spring of vigilance to the max. Just then, two figures walked into the entrance of the alley ahead, behaving intimately, appearing to be a couple.
Staring at the couple gnawing on each other in the shadows, Miss Haxxor Bunny's eyes were filled with astonishment.
It wasn't that she was shocked by their intimate acts; having grown up in a cyber city and being a super hacker surfing the net, although Miss Haxxor Bunny wasn't very old, she had seen plenty of this kind of thing.
What surprised her was that the female in the couple had fox-like ears, and a large, fluffy tail was swaying slowly behind her.
It was actually a Foxian girl!
Whether it was the fox ears or the tail, they were vivid and lifelike... no, they were real!
They weren't wearable plug-ins. Even Shencheng Tech couldn't design such spirited plug-ins.
Moreover, Haxxor hadn't heard of Shencheng Tech venturing into the field of adult toys.
It's a real Foxian girl!
Heh, things are getting interesting!
The little bunny who had hopped out of her cage began to get excited after her initial wariness.
The next second, when Haxxor habitually wanted to raise her hand to pull down her hat brim to cover her face, she was even more stunned to find that she couldn't control her body!
'Holy Sh*t!'
Haxxor cursed in her heart.
What is going on!?
Did I, Miss Haxxor Bunny, sleepwalk and leave Arc City to come to the outside world, and now this happens... Wait, is it possible I'm still dreaming?
Because I wanted to leave the Light Curtain and adventure outside too much, I dreamed of this grotesque and bizarre world?
Is this condition of being unable to control my body sleep paralysis?
Miss Haxxor Bunny went from doubt to astonishment, to dazedness, and then to her current despair. In just a short dozen seconds, she seemed to have experienced the great ups and downs of life.
Until she heard a voice coming from within her heart.
[Who are you?]
That voice was both strange and familiar. Haxxor was sure she had heard it before, and after thinking for a few seconds, she reacted.
Due to bone conduction issues, people often find their own voice sounds strange when they hear it. This was literally her own damn voice!
['Ghosts'!]
Miss Haxxor Bunny felt the thrill of having encountered a ghost.
[It sounds quite like my voice... Could it be a successful summon? But why can't I control it...]
Miss Haxxor Bunny heard her own words coming again, appearing just like a normal person muttering to themselves in their heart when thinking about a problem.
[Summon? What do you mean? Who are you?]
The clever and quick-witted Miss Haxxor Bunny keenly detected the keywords in the speech and immediately became alert.
[Heh, my name is Bronie, real name Bronya. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be very familiar with it.]
Caelus pondered to himself: if he put this alt account of his together with Little Duck and Silver Wolf, could he synthesize a two-star Bronya?
Although he could only control three Valkyrie bodies at the same time, seeing as Seele had her auto-battle turned on 24/7—except for when she was holding wild parties at night or encountering tricky enemies—it was manageable.
Moonscar lent her body to Li Sushang for almost half the time, so as long as the control times for the three bodies were staggered, it was completely sufficient for use.
He could even manage if he released Kiana too, it would just be slightly tight, so he'd better wait a bit.
[Huh? You say you are Bronya? Then who am I?]
Miss Haxxor Bunny's brain spun rapidly.
Why does this guy know my true name?
Aside from Cioara and Bronie, no one should know this name.
[Do you know about parallel worlds?] That voice asked.
[Nonsense, even a three-year-old knows that...]
Haxxor wanted to make a pouting motion but couldn't control the body. She suddenly realized something, her heart shivering:
[Wait! You mean to say!]
[Correct.]
The Foxian couple finished their long kiss and left the alley. Bronie took out a new mobile phone bought beforehand; the screen reflected a face as cute as an angel.
[If you are really me, your intellect should be sufficient to draw enough conclusions from these two words.]
Bronie hooked the corners of her mouth.
[...]
Besides being a super hacker, Haxxor was also a top player in the gaming world and an expert in the anime field—commonly known as a veteran otaku.
One of her safe houses even stored piles of paper comic books, all treasures she had spent a fortune to scavenge. Many of them had no digital versions, and the physical editions were already out of print.
Among them was a comic called Galaxy Hacker, which was the favorite of both her and Theresa.
Previously, the two would even imitate the lines from inside—"Humans are the biggest BUG in this world!"
Cough cough, thinking about it now is slightly shameful.
That's not the point. The point is that Galaxy Hacker featured a villain character who was a Shadow Warrior from a parallel world.
The settings of parallel worlds in the games Haxxor had played, and the movies and comics she had watched, were countless. Almost instantly, she understood the meaning behind those words.
[You are me from a parallel world?]
[Mm, as expected of me, you understand quickly.]
Bronie snapped her fingers.
Haxxor could clearly see the face reflected in the phone screen through her vision, as well as various APPs she had no impression of after unlocking the phone, plus the surrounding architectural style.
She began to believe it, letting down her guard. After all, no matter how you put it, this was her parallel world self.
[So, can you explain it to me in detail?] Haxxor blew a whistle in the psychic channel.
[That's naturally no problem.]
Bronie leaned against the wall, smiling as she stuck her tender little hands into the pockets of her hot pants.
The old script.
A trick doesn't need to be new, as long as it works.
[...That's about it. Any more questions?]
"Yes, yes."
Haxxor quickly recalled and summarized the intelligence collected in her mind, then asked:
[Umm, you said you also traveled to this world for unknown reasons. Then is there a possibility that this is actually my body?]
[Regrettably, there is no such possibility. According to what you said, your body is still lying on the bed on the third floor of the bar.]
Bronie revealed a faint smile at the phone screen.
She knew Little Haxxor wasn't really doubting who owned the body.
[As long as I end this inexplicable ability, your consciousness will return to your own body.]
[Don't, don't, don't!]
Hearing Bronie speak of sending her back, Haxxor's tone instantly panicked.
Here was not just outside the Light Curtain, it was a parallel world, no less!
A universe with a galaxy, countless planets, and numerous races!
Bronie had already let Haxxor catch a glimpse of a corner of this universe's splendor via the Galaxy interstellar network. Miss Haxxor Bunny could no longer suppress the surging of her heart!
It was only because she couldn't control the body, otherwise, she would definitely poke her head hard with her finger, using pain to verify this dreamlike development.
I'm really high to no end!
Saikou ni high tte yatsu da!
In the eyes of Miss Haxxor Bunny, who loved adventure and exploration, this parallel world was simply heaven!
Can't go back!
Absolutely cannot go back just like this!
[Heh heh heh, since we are parallel world isotopes, then we aren't outsiders.]
Haxxor laughed sheepishly twice, her tone dashing and generous:
[If you need any help from me, just say it. Do you need to solve identity issues after coming to a strange world? I can hel... oh right, how are your hacking skills?]
Volunteering to hack into the household registration system, Haxxor's tone became a bit nervous when she asked the final question.
At this moment, Haxxor wanted to use every method she could think of to grind up the favorability rating of this parallel world self, so she would let her stay.
If this self was also a super hacker, then she would be of no use.
[Parallel worlds differ in various ways. I can't say I know nothing about hacking techniques, I've only learned some fur, I'm better at direct combat. Besides, hacking techniques aren't needed at the moment.]
[However, I know what you are thinking. Rest assured, you can stay in my body. Even when I don't have urgent matters, I can give the body's control rights to you, letting you move freely.]
[Really!?]
Haxxor's disappointment instantly turned into surprise.
[Mm, after all, we are both Bronie.]
Bronie revealed a brilliant smile.
[By the way, let me say this in advance. As I told you just now, I only just obtained the ability to 'summon' a parallel world self, so I can't control it very well. Maybe the connection will drop and reconnect at any time. You need to be mentally prepared to suddenly appear in strange places.]
[Don't worry, don't worry, I have no problem with that!]
Haxxor hurriedly guaranteed.
Bronie nodded in satisfaction.
He hoped that when Little Haxxor opened her eyes and woke up in his (Caelus's) arms in the future, she could maintain this calm mindset.
[Thank you! The other me!]
Haxxor thanked her sincerely and earnestly.
Sharing the body with her freely was equivalent to sharing 'freedom' with her. Even with the relationship of being parallel world isotopes, it made her extremely grateful.
Bronie smiled.
See that? She even has to thank me!
She was also the first grinding AI he had encountered that conversely grinded his favorability. His mood was subtly delighted.
[We're all on the same side. Come, I'll give the body control rights to you. Take a look at the new world.]
Bronie turned on auto-battle.
"Thanks!"
Sensing the control over the body, Haxxor raised her little duck head and looked at the sky. The galaxy was brilliant, and the moonlight was like water.
Most importantly, there was no Light Curtain!
There really was no Light Curtain!
"What is that? A boat flying in the sky?"
[That is a Starskiff, one of the transportation tools of this planet.]
"So that's it, it looks so interesting!"
Haxxor couldn't wait to walk out of the alley.
A brand new world!
Wooden boats flying in the sky, Foxian girls, and intelligent machines—everything was incomparably novel to Haxxor!
However, Haxxor had just walked out of the alley when she froze on the spot, her expression becoming exceptionally colorful.
She saw a stall in front of her. The stall owners were a pair of twins—brother and sister? Or sister and brother? There was also a despairing pink-haired beautiful girl, and a black-haired beautiful girl organizing the stall.
Among them, the gray-haired young man, unknown if he was the older or younger brother, noticed her. He pulled down his Republic of China style artistic retro sunglasses—the same black Immortal Chiyuan model as Sister Hua's family—his golden eyes twinkling.
"Eh, this pretty little sister, I've calculated with my fingers that you and I are fated. Do you want a divination reading? It's very accurate!"
The gray-haired young man pointed at the photos of 'Galaxy Divination' and 'Feng Shui and Marriage all calculated':
"Or buy some exquisite modern crafts, or antiques from the old Xianzhou. We have everything, and can even write homework for you."
The gray-haired young man pointed again at the sign 'Caelus Exhausts Heavenly Secrets, Catching Adulterers and Ghosts, Odd Jobs Agency'.
Looking at the cyber projection fortune-telling disk in his hand, Miss Haxxor Bunny was a bit stunned.
Holy cyber fortune-telling!
This world... sure enough, is so interesting!
