Chapter 446: Side Story 11: The Grand Finale
After checking on An Siyao's bedroom and confirming that her body had completely recovered, Xia Yu went to visit Zhu Mei who had just become pregnant. Then he returned to his bedroom and took out ten light orbs.
These ten light orbs were Star Fragments he had obtained from ten people.
The description of the Star Fragments stated that collecting seven of them could create something miraculous, and he had already collected ten.
Previously, he didn't use them because his second daughter was about to be born, and later on, An Siyao's body was in bad shape for a month. Now, the time had finally come.
So the question was, how should he use them?
Xia Yu placed the ten light orbs together, but there was no reaction. He took out three more, leaving the remaining seven in the shape of the Big Dipper, but it was still useless.
After analyzing calmly for a minute, Xia Yu opened the game panel, picked up a light orb, and pressed it against the panel.
The light orb seemed to melt and entered the panel.
So that's how it was supposed to be used.
He stuffed the remaining nine light orbs one by one, looking forward to what would happen.
The semi-transparent panel became brighter as the light orbs were put in, and after using all ten light orbs, the room was filled with the panel's light.
The light wasn't dazzling, and Xia Yu stared at the panel, where a black spot appeared in the center of the square panel.
The black spot turned into a small whirlpool, which quickly expanded and engulfed the surroundings.
This process seemed slow to describe, but in reality, it only took a second.
Caught off guard, Xia Yu was sucked into the whirlpool.
After a moment of dizziness, Xia Yu felt himself landing somewhere.
Opening his eyes, he saw a pure white landscape.
The ground was white, the surroundings were white, there was no sun, and no light-emitting objects, but Xia Yu could clearly see around him.
What was going on?
Did collecting seven orbs grant him a private space?
Other people's spaces at least had soil and water, and they could grow crops; how come when he got here, there was nothing?
No one could answer Xia Yu, so he stood up and carefully looked around.
Off to the left, he saw a speck of black.
That black spot stood out in the white space.
Taking a stride, Xia Yu walked towards it.
As he got closer, he realized it was a person lying down, dressed in black clothes.
He quickly approached and turned the person's body over, discovering that it was a man.
He was very disappointed.
Stretching out his hand, Xia Yu checked the man's nose for any sign of breathing.
There was no air coming out, so it was a corpse, a well-preserved one.
Why would there be a man's corpse here?
Underneath the man's body, Xia Yu found a mobile phone.
The familiar symbol on the phone surprised Xia Yu even more.
It was a phone he recognized, one from Earth.
In his previous life, he had used the same kind of phone.
With this in mind, Xia Yu looked at the corpse's face, which was plain – a face he knew but also didn't know.
It was the face he had in his previous life.
This corpse was his own body from his previous life.
He looked back at the phone.
Using the corpse's fingerprint, he successfully unlocked the phone.
On the lit-up screen was a game interface.
A body-swapping game.
This was the game Xia Yu had downloaded in his previous life, but he hadn't had the chance to play it before coming to this world.
In this white space, with the corpse of his previous life and a mobile game, identical to the system, his mind was a bit confused, unsure how to put these elements together.
At this time, his game panel suddenly jumped out, and ten light orbs flew out of it, drilling into the mobile phone.
The mobile phone emitted light, and within the light, it gradually dissolved, revealing a silvery-white key.
Xia Yu also recognized this key, it was a cheap piece of artwork he had bought from Taobao before crossing worlds.
So, everything originally started because of this key?
The light slowly disappeared, and the silver-white key fell into Xia Yu's palm.
The moment he touched the key, Xia Yu's vision was split in two, with a planet rotating in each of his left and right eyes.
Upon closer inspection, the two planets were slightly different.
Following Xia Yu's thoughts, the scene quickly zoomed down, and he saw the land and rivers on the planets.
The scene in his left eye was the world of his previous life, while the scene in his right eye was the world of his current life.
The scene lowered once again, and in his right eye, Xia Yu saw An Siyao and Zhu Mei, sitting together, discussing their experiences.
In his left eye, he saw his parents from his previous life, along with his younger brother sitting on a sofa, looking at his photograph.
Although he had gone back once, he hadn't directly contacted his parents, so this scene made him feel a little sad. Soon, the scene in his left eye changed.
Raindrops rose, people walked backward, and everything played out in reverse.
Following spring was winter, and after winter was summer, the seasons reversed as well.
This was time going back.
The speed of the scene going back was getting faster and faster, suddenly stopping at a certain point.
The Earth, Xia family home.
Xia's father hastily entered the house, seeing Xia's mother, who was equally hurried.
"Did you find him?" Xia's father asked, unwilling to give up.
"No," Xia's mother answered.
"Where could this child have run off to?" Sitting on the sofa, Xia's father anxiously grabbed his hair, "He even got lost while going to college, what's this nonsense!"
"What use is it to scold him, if you hadn't made him go to college so far away, he wouldn't have suddenly disappeared!" Xia's mother rebuked her husband sharply.
Xia's father opened his mouth, but all his words turned into a sigh.
Both sat together, silently wiping away their tears.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door.
Xia's mother wiped the tears from her face and got up to open the door.
Xia's father took out his cell phone, contacting Xia Yu's classmates on WeChat to ask if they had any clues.
"His father!" came Xia's mother's voice.
"What?" Xia's father asked listlessly without raising his head.
"Your son has returned!"
Xia's father immediately stood up, throwing his phone aside.
He indeed saw Xia Yu changing shoes at the entrance.
In Xia's father's heart, joy quickly turned to anger.
Standing in front of the door, Xia's father raised his hand at the back of Xia Yu's head and yelled, "You little bastard, you finally remember to come back!"
Before his hand fell, he suddenly noticed there were people outside the door.
Hastily retracting his force, Xia's father patted the dust on Xia Yu's clothes, "Where have you been running off to, even getting dust all over your clothes?"
Having given himself a way out, Xia's father looked up at the people outside the door.
That was a woman who looked a bit older than his son, with an outstanding figure and facial features.
"What's this?" Father Xia looked at Xia Yu.
"Your daughter-in-law." Xia Yu answered.
Father Xia's expression instantly brightened, and he quickly handed over slippers to her: "Come in, come in quickly."
As An Siyao entered the house, Father Xia saw another woman coming from behind.
"What's this?" Father Xia looked at Xia Yu.
"Your daughter-in-law." Xia Yu answered.
"Oh, come in," halfway through his sentence, Father Xia felt something was wrong and looked at Xia Yu in astonishment: "What did you say?"
"This is also your daughter-in-law." Xia Yu repeated.
"Don't joke around!" Father Xia scolded Xia Yu.
"Dad, Yao Yao and I are both your daughters-in-law." Xu Youxiang took An Siyao's hand and said to Father Xia.
Father Xia's mind was in a mess, unable to understand the young people's actions.
"Come in first." He waved his hand.
Xu Youxiang stepped in and made room for Zhu Mei, who then stepped forward to the door.
"This is also your daughter-in-law." Xia Yu introduced.
"Oh." Father Xia was already numb.
Then the appearances of Yan Wei, Liu Manman, Yu Ningmeng, Wen Ziying, and Tina did not cause a ripple in his heart.
After Tina entered, Yuxue came to the door.
"Is this also your daughter-in-law?" Father Xia asked Xia Yu.
"This is my sister." Xia Yu answered.
Father Xia nodded, having so many daughters-in-law, having a sister was not surprising.
There were no more slippers, so Mother Xia handed a shoe cover to Yuxue.
"How many more people?" Father Xia asked.
"One more." Xia Yu replied.
Finally, Kong Hanyue appeared at the door.
After sizing up Kong Hanyue, Father Xia looked at Xia Yu: "Is this your sister?"
"It's my mother."
"Huh?"
