Chapter 107: A Phone Call

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Kang De stood by the window and looked at the world outside.

He had once looked at the scenery outside more than 300 times. The vast Qian River was covered by a thick white fog. It was a scene where he could not see hope… until today.

The call went through to the other half of the world.

That was the first conversation after more than 300 days.

A smiling voice sounded from the phone, “You actually know to take the initiative to call. Are you short of money?”

Kang De laughed.

His tone was calm and relaxed. “No, I just missed you.”

Crossing half the world, his mother spoke on the other end of the phone. Because it was too far away, her voice was a little distorted. She said, “Do you miss us? Didn’t you call the day before yesterday?”

Kang De smiled faintly. “Can’t I?”

His body which had been strengthened by the black beast crystals was very powerful.

However, mind and matter were originally independent of each other.

He could control his body, but he could not completely control his surging emotions.

Although this surging emotion was subtle and distant, his mother could sense it.

She hesitated for a moment. “…What’s wrong?”

Kang De said, “It’s nothing. I just miss you a little.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

His mother was slightly relieved and teased, “Why haven’t I seen you so filial before?”

Kang De smiled and said, “Because I’ve grown up.”

His mother clicked her tongue. “When I called the day before yesterday, you thought I was nagging. Why did you grow up so quickly?”

He replied softly, “All boys are like this. Sometimes, if you’re not careful, I’ll secretly grow up.”

His mother’s voice became shocked, “You have a girlfriend?!”

“…No!”

“What? You’ve already broken up?”

“Of course not!”

“So you have one after all?”

“Hey!”

In this normal communication, his mother’s laughter on the phone was like the noise of a 155-pound grenade cutting through the sky.

After the initial unfamiliarity and silence, the communication quickly returned to normal.

His mother mentioned what had happened in the past two days. She had gone to Africa to visit her husband, who was working overseas. Africa was very chaotic and security was much worse than in China, but the local Chinese were very influential and did not encounter any trouble.

Her tone revealed a rather regretful feeling.

“Don’t do anything rash.”

Kang De instructed, “Be careful, understand? I have to get my father to watch over you… Africa is often in civil war. It’s chaotic and terrifying.”

His mother sneered, “Little brat, do you know what war is?”

Kang De smiled and said, “Alright, alright, alright. You understand, you understand. Therefore, be careful and take care of your body, okay?”

“…” His mother was silent for a moment. “Your tone is so gentle that it disgusts me.”

“…Are you stupid? I’m talking to you nicely. Can’t you accept it?”

His mother laughed loudly.

In the past, when he spoke to his family, they would often talk for a while before not knowing what to say. After being silent for a while, they would find an opportunity to stop the communication. Now, Kang De wanted to talk to his mother more.

However, he did not know what to say.

There were a thousand words to say, and all the grievance and sorrow turned into one sentence, “In any case, everything is fine, right?”

His mother said, “Yes, we’re all very good. You’re the same, right?”

Kang De smiled and said, “Yes, I’m fine too. I’ve never felt better than now.”

“Then let’s end the call here.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

In the end, his mother said, “You have to remember to eat well…”

“Sleep on time, don’t stay up late, don’t eat junk food…” Kang De continued, “Don’t always play on the computer, don’t always look at your phone, don’t sit for long, exercise, and breathe fresh air…”

Mother Kang scolded jokingly, “What? You can memorize it now?”

Kang De smiled and said, “I’ve followed it well.”

His mother continued to nag, “There’s no point if it’s just a day or two. The most important thing is to persevere, understand?”

Kang De nodded and said, “Of course. I’ve already persisted for a long time.”

“Nonsense. I don’t believe you.”

“It’s true. Listen to my sincere voice.”

This call ended in laughter.

Kang De slowly put down his phone and looked at the city through the French windows in the living room.

There was a lot of traffic, pedestrians were everywhere, and tall buildings stood. In the distance, the Qian River surged.

This was undoubtedly the world he was familiar with.

“I’m sorry…”

He apologized softly.

After transmigrating to the other world, the only thing he thought about every day was to go home. Some things could only be precious if they were lost. He swore that he would reunite with his family one day and cherish every day. He had to accompany them well, not anger them, and live safely and happily together.

Now that his wish was fulfilled, everything was already different.

“I’m sorry, Dad, Mom… I’m no longer a person of this world.”

Countless scenes flashed through his mind.

Time on the island, meeting Tina, defeating the elves, and setting sail.

He had once thought that there was a strange and fantastic new world ahead, but the humans of this world still repeated the cycle of killing and sorrow. He had once thought that Earth’s civilization had been destroyed and decided to start a new life, but everything he had hoped for had been destroyed. The ugly soul created betrayal and killing. He had become crazy and vented hysterically in his revenge. He even had the intention to die, but in the end, he basked in the sunlight.

It turned out that everything he cherished and missed had never been lost.

However, he had still lost something in his life.

That night, the sailors who were unwilling to fight him, Captain Oswald who calmly died, Head Maid Bedolla who willingly bought them time, and all the dead Goethe people, the people he gradually became familiar with, lost their lives on that bloody night.

Even Cleveland.

Just because Tina asked him to protect Kang De, he would protect him even at the cost of his own life. He would definitely do what he had decided and his persistence would not be compromised.

Compared to people like Lost and Glenn, Cleveland was more like the knight in Kang De’s impression. He held onto the creed and was indomitable, honest, and unafraid of sacrifice.

However, he was also human. Before he died, he was also afraid. He also missed his family. He was a living person who knew right and wrong and could tell right from wrong. He was not the so-called native of the other world. Everyone living there had their own lives and beliefs. They had built that world together.

Before he died, he entrusted Kang De with something.

He used his life to exchange for Kang De’s and begged him to take over his heavy responsibility.

Kang De understood what the knight meant.

Cleveland could see the hesitation and sorrow in his heart. The knight was afraid that after he died, Kang De would become crazy and desperate, or even become a walking corpse. He needed a sense of meaning in his life, so the knight entrusted everything to him and used his life to put a lock on the soul of the transmigrator, forcefully giving him the strength to continue living… until he found what he wanted.

Now, because of his advice, the remaining kindness in Kang De’s heart led him home.

Everything had never been lost.

Kang De’s crazy and sad heart had completely calmed down.

However, a promise… was a promise.

“I promise you.”

At that time, Kang De had said that, and now, he would say the same.

He was not only Kang De from Earth. He was a human who crossed two worlds and carried the spirit of a group of dead people to continue their will and persistence.

“I made an agreement with you.”

Kang De stretched out his hand and pressed it against the void in front of him.

Push.

Beside him was the scene of traffic outside the French window. Space shattered in his hand, and a black light flashed. The scene in front of him was like a broken mirror, and a door that tore through space opened.

Kang De moved forward.

He stepped into another world.

In an instant, the world flipped and changed, but there was no change. Kang De stepped into another world from this door, but the surrounding scene did not change. This was still the living room of his house. Everything was the same as before.

However, the world was already different.

Kang De turned and looked out the window.

Countless still cars were parked on the street. In front of them were two office buildings. Further ahead, white fog spread and enveloped, blocking vision and everything, forming a white siege.

As expected.

“Over a year ago, the district I returned to was not the Earth I lived on, but another plane, a world that replicated everything except living beings…”

“Currently, I can transmigrate between three worlds…”

Kang De could not help but think of the crimson scroll discovered in the rift valley of the Holy Seal Islands and the rumors recorded in history. The traitors of the various races who wanted to open the curtain of the world had attracted the invasion of the curtain creatures. The description mentioned the impenetrable white fog.

He also remembered some of the contents of the scroll that Tina had interpreted later.

The person who wrote the scroll was repenting in pain, repenting that their actions had attracted covetous eyes outside the curtain. However, now, he had a realization.

The formation of this third world… might be related to those people’s attempt.

However, the true reason and secret behind all this could only be obtained after he personally pursue it.

Kang De reached out and pressed down on the empty air.

The power to tear space was continuously accumulating.

Kang De understood the familiar feeling. As long as he was willing, the next stop would lead to the other world.

He slowly lowered his hand.

After Tina was teleported, she was saved by Sword Saint Snowfall. Since he was the one who blocked the cursed blade, this Princess of Goethe was safe now. The Glory Sand Viscounty had fallen into a sea of flames, and the death of the Viscount’s family would definitely cause a huge commotion. When the news spread, most of the investigators would be gathered there. The bloody rumors about the Cathayan would be endless, so it was unwise to appear…

Moreover, he had to study the connection between Earth and the white fog world.

This was because he needed greater strength.

The battle with Lost had already exposed the problem of the power and firing speed of non-military firearms. He needed more energy and explosions.

He had to make more preparations.

For example, he could use the modern industrial system and order some useful things.

He even had to consider many things.

In the future, how could he use the huge advantage brought by the entire modern society to strengthen his ability and trump cards?

Sooner or later, he would interfere in the war between the powerful countries of the other world.

This was because he had to return to the other world and fulfill his promise to the knight. He had to protect the princess and complete his mission on behalf of this Star Knight of Goethe.

If you want to protect your country, I’ll defend it for you.

Therefore, I need greater… strength.

The space around him continuously shattered and finally formed a door. Kang De took a step back and prepared to leave this mysterious plane beyond the two worlds. His gaze swept around, but he was surprised to discover that there was no generator or radio there. It was exactly the same as the furnishings at home.

In the white fog world, at least everything in the district was completely replicated on Earth.

Time on Earth was continuously advancing and everything was continuously changing. However, the white fog world was frozen and replicated only a certain moment on Earth.

At the very least, nothing had changed in the district for more than a year.

Now, it had changed.

“…Could it be that it’s synchronized with Earth again? How often will it be synchronized?”

These were all questions that needed to be studied.

Kang De suddenly recalled something. “Oh! Those things!”

The reset of the white fog world was a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing was that the resources that had been consumed had all been replenished. The disadvantage was that not a fuel truck had happened to drive by on the main road north today, nor was there an escort truck with a shotgun and pistol to deliver money to the bank opposite.

He had to think of another way to get new equipment.

And…

The things he had plundered from the Goode family’s treasure vault.

Kang De hurriedly stopped transmigrating and turned to walk to the master bedroom. After plundering the wealth accumulated by the Goode family, he temporarily placed the large pile of things in the room. He did not have time to sort them out.

After pushing open the door, Kang De heaved a sigh of relief and discovered the change.

Armor, round shield, talisman, treasure, medicine… Be it what the princess had given him, what he had seized from the elves, or what he had picked up from the Goode family, these things were basically still there.

However, the two boxes of gold coins and ordinary antique jewelry had already disappeared.

“Things containing magic are not reset by the world…”

Kang De looked worried and prepared to descend the building.

Before the reset, the knight’s sword was there.

Although that sword was not ordinary, he still wanted to take a look.

However, before he left, he recalled something and looked up at the wall.

“Eh…”

A clock hung on the wall.

Although there was no electricity, the clock relied on the battery to power it and still faithfully recorded the passage of time.

In other words, even if the white fog world only replicated a certain moment on Earth, the replicated clock would still continue to move without any pause. The time of the two worlds should be consistent.

At the very least, Kang De had already confirmed that time had not stopped in the white fog world.

However, that was not the case.

Kang De turned on his phone and checked the time to confirm if it was the same as the real world.

He discovered something.

The time in the white fog world, compared to Earth… was three hours slower.
