[As for the resistance and various unbearable emotions caused by the sudden change at the beginning, it is also normal and there is no need to worry about it. ]
[In addition, there is another point worth discussing. ]
[Why do you have the ability to transform into an adult after the passage of time? 】
[To be honest, even you are completely confused about this and have no idea. ]
[Perhaps it is because of the magic of time that you gradually adapt to the identity of a magic cat and the magic that comes with it? ]
【Or maybe it’s because of some other weird reason? 】
【Who knows. 】
[After discovering this change, you have also pondered over the relevant matters. ]
[But in the end, it became a carefree and indifferent attitude. ]
[After all, if you keep thinking about a problem like this that you can't figure out, it will most likely become an unavoidable worry.]
[It’s better not to think about it. ]
[It’s not a bad thing after all, right?]
Looking at Bella's innocent, cute and curious expression, Lu Mian laughed and said:
"Then you have to be responsible for your overly strong curiosity and don't be too surprised when you see my true appearance."
After saying this, he pushed the chair back to prevent any unnecessary bumps when he transformed.
When the space was spacious enough, Lu Mian slowly closed his eyes.
The next second, his body began to be gradually enveloped by light, and finally turned completely into a flawless holy body of light.
Then, a light suddenly appeared, which was soft but not too bright to look at.
Seeing this scene, Bella, who had been closely watching all the changes in Lu Mian, narrowed her eyes slightly.
A few seconds passed, until the light completely dissipated, and then he opened his squinting eyes again.
But the magic cat that was originally squatting elegantly on the chair next to her had disappeared.
Instead, there was a man who was so handsome that he seemed to be on a different level from those around him.
She looked to be about meters tall, with soft and shiny short ink-dyed hair, an oval face with a distinct jaw, a high nose bridge and thin lips.
A pair of eyes, like glass with ink reflecting the spring light, the faint dark circles under the eyes add a rare sense of fragmentation and mysterious sophistication.
Wearing a black windbreaker, he looks handsome yet not ostentatious.
At this moment, he was looking at this side tenderly with a gentle, loving face and a big smile.
Bella, who had almost only had close contact with male cats since she was a child, had never seen such a scene before, and she was actually a little dazed for a moment.
It was only after Lu Mian waved his hand in front of her eyes and called her twice that she came back to her senses.
Seeing this, Lu Mian retracted his outstretched hand and scratched his head slowly with a little confusion, "What's wrong? Does my appearance make you feel weird?"
"No," Bella blushed after coming back to her senses. She shook her head in a clear denial, then her eyes wandered, "It's just that - in my personal expectation, you should be the 'more mature' type."
More mature?
Uncle!
Old thing!
Lu Mian immediately understood the subtext of Bella's words and silently put down his hand that was scratching his head, feeling mixed emotions.
This is really "laughing and crying".
After a long while, he finally recovered a little, and said with a joking tone:
"You think I'm that kind of unshaven uncle or that old guy who always loves to preach, right?
"This is really too much! Am I not the kind of elder who looks young and open-minded? Besides, Meiya also looks very young, so how can I be old?"
Although it was a joke, I was actually more or less serious when I said it.
[Because in the final analysis, you are just a 19-year-old youth. Even if you are forced to increase your age and life experience through simulations, you probably don't want to be seen as an old person.]
[I used to always make fun of a white-haired girl in her forties who was still reading comics and a Shenzhou girl in her fifties who was still sticking to each other.]
【This is retribution.】
【This is really...】
[Retribution comes too fast, like a tornado. ]
Listening to Lu Mian's somewhat tearful explanation, Bella raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips, but quickly waved her hands:
"Mr. Cat, you know I didn't mean that, it's just that you've always made me feel safe.
"This feeling has continued until now. It is hard for me to imagine that this young, handsome and somewhat dreamy man in front of me is you who can bring me such a great sense of security."
After hearing this sincere and genuine defense, Lu Mian finally calmed down.
Then he nodded with satisfaction:
"That's right."
[After that, you didn’t change back to your cat form, but remained human and read books with Bella for a while.]
[It was not until the evening when the sun set that we stopped.]
[At Bella's request, you still did not turn back into the most magical cat, but maintained your human appearance.]
【Then at dinner time, a big surprise was given to Meia, Agatha, Aurora, and Galina. 】
How big is it?
[Anyway, their mouths were opened so wide that a whole egg could almost fit in.]
[Perhaps it is the unspoken tacit understanding cultivated over the years; or perhaps it is the special telepathy between true family members. 】
[No one doubted your identity, and no one was shocked by your sudden transformation from a cat to a human.]
[What shocked Meiya and the others was just your appearance which was a bit too amazing.]
[What would happen if outsiders saw this? ]
[You can't close your legs, right? ]
Chapter 8: Back to before the time travel? (Two in one)
[After seeing you, Mr. Cat, in such a human form that it is hard to close your legs, Meia and the remaining four girls, led by Bella, ask you not to turn back into a cat.]
[Although you feel a little regretful that you can't experience the life of a magical cat with indescribable magic more, you still agree to it in the end, after all, it is the request of your family. ]
[Just like that, you went from being a magic cat back to being a human again, and this transformation didn't have any effect on you.]
[Since you are a magical cat, it won't be difficult for you to maintain your cat form compared to your human form. ]
[Now that I have turned back into a human, there is really no convenience or inconvenience worth mentioning. 】
【As for your family, well, they are all very happy. 】
【...】
[Whether there are new surprises or not, life will always go on, in the constant cycle of day and night; in the ordinary but not dull rhythm. ]
【This may be the greatest romance in life. 】
[All in all, not bad? ]
[Of course, you don’t just waste your days repeating like this. ]
【During this period, you have been secretly studying something. 】
[A very important thing that, if successful, could very well overturn this simulation.]
[Perhaps because you stared at the magic book for too long when you were with Bella on the day of "transformation", you have a strange idea of further studying the magic book in your heart. ]
[Currently known: The Grimoire can travel across the Rune Continent. The Grimoire itself has the ability to travel.]
[So, is the travel caused by the magic book an ultra-high-speed movement across the world that ignores the terrain, or is it a true teleportation? ]
[If it is a super-high-speed movement that ignores the terrain and the range is limited to the current world, then it is naturally meaningless. ]
[But what if this is really a teleportation? ]
[This is interesting. Does this mean that with a certain degree of research and development, you can use the magic book's teleportation ability to teleport back to your previous world or... the simulated world? ]
[This is a big deal. If successful, then maybe you can achieve the feat of "breaking the simulation ahead of time" and lead to other novel developments? ]
【As the saying goes: It is better to act than to talk. 】
[Driven by this interesting and slightly out-of-the-ordinary idea, you quickly started to take relevant actions and conduct research.]
[You don’t know until you study it. Once you study it, you will be shocked. ]
[This magic book actually has some spirituality. Although it is not enough to support the emergence of spiritual intelligence, it can still complete simple intelligent retrieval. ]
[This is truly a “magic phone.”]
[After mastering the most familiar learning method for modern people, which is similar to "scrolling on a mobile phone", you begin to explore the essence of the magic book and other functions that may have not yet been developed. ]
[During the process, you are like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge about the magic book. ]
[In a flash, more than half a year has passed. ]
[During this period, Xilin, who was busy doing nothing all day, did not return home. ]
[Seems like she is busy and happy, so I wish her all the best. ]
[You have already figured out most of the relevant knowledge about the magic book. I am not sure if there is any other knowledge that you have not researched, but it is difficult to master it in a short period of time.]
【Let me talk about the harvest first. 】
[First of all, the essence of the magic book being able to trigger time travel is to start a special time travel, which is more similar to the teleportation you previously guessed, rather than some super-high-speed movement that ignores the terrain.]
[This also coincides with the description of the magical cat Yuumi and the magic book in the League of Legends game. 】
[You knew this narrative from the beginning, and the reason you continued to research it is entirely because, in your opinion, you cannot completely believe in the "plot" or such game narrative. ]
[After all, this is the real world, not the game world. 】
[Let’s not talk about the “butterfly effect” for now. ]
[Just talking about the reliability of the narrative of League of Legends, it is hard to say that it is unsatisfactory. ]
[After all, there are many cases of "eating the book". In terms of game design, it is a vivid example of a healing skill today and a shield skill tomorrow. ]
【In terms of the plot, it is constantly changed. 】
[This is completely understandable, but it also directly leads to the fact that the game narrative can be used as evidence but not superstitious.]
[Anyway, you personally prefer to do independent research and then get the answers you want. ]
【The facts also prove that your idea is not wrong. 】
[In short, after learning that Grimoire Travel is similar to time travel, your research speed will be greatly improved. ]
[You find that you can indeed use the magic book to teleport back to the world you were in before, which can truly be called "home", and you can also use the magic book to travel around the two parallel worlds that have been simulated and completed before. ]
[Because you have lived in those places, your soul has already left their unique coordinates. ]
[Even - you can use the magic book and coordinates to return to the ordinary world where you first lived without any extraordinary power. ]
[However, this option, which sounds unappealing and actually a bit disgusting, only took two seconds from appearing in your mind to being rejected by you.]
[You no longer have anything to hold onto there, nor do you have any revenge to take.]
[Of course, there is no reason to go back. ]
【Then why go back? 】
[Use the technology and power brought by the collapse to kill mosquitoes with cannons, and ruthlessly rule that world? 】
[How should I put it? This sounds like a rather unbelievable choice. It's really unbearable. 】
[You have found a place for your soul to rest and return to in this crumbling world, and you have also found someone you can never let go of. ]
[You have also seen the tears and smiles of these people whom you cherish so much, so they are no longer just passing visitors.]
[If you go back under this premise, wouldn't that be a disguised admission that everything you've experienced and the people you've met are all "fake"? ]
