Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 5: Chapter 15:1: Chen Heng: Come, Call Me Father, Part 1

“Not exactly…when I first saw Sirin, she was practically wearing a bedsheet. Furthermore, I heard from an association member that Sirin had escaped from a laboratory. That reminded me of you; you two had similar circumstances, so I let her stay. Otherwise…well, you understand me. I don’t particularly like children, as I don’t know how to take care of them.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Li could not help shaking her head. This Elder Brother Heng of mine is…indescribable.

However, Luo Li did not feel upset or hold any resentment. After all, she got saved only because her Elder Brother Heng was such a person. As someone who benefited from this, she had no grounds to blame Chen Heng.

“That means I’m partly the reason you adopted Sirin? Then you are going to send Sirin back one month later?” Luo Li did not expect the reason Chen Heng adopted Sirin to be related to her, but it strangely made her somewhat happy.

“That should have been the case. However, as the association’s administrator, I will receive an association invitation letter every month. Because of the problem with the world consciousness this time, I managed to extort some benefits from the Dimension Administrators Association, so…”

“So?” Chen Heng’s “so” gave Luo Li an awful premonition.

“I initially could only get an invitation letter a few days after Sirin leaves. However, it is different now. I can get the association invitation letter seven days later. At that time, I can bring Sirin into the association. That way, she no longer needs to die. Oh! That’s right. If Sirin returns, she will die once after some time. Don’t tell Sirin about this or even bring it up in front of her. I’ll handle telling her in case she gets too agitated. In fact, Sirin’s memories are currently sealed.”

Very good. The awful premonition came to pass.

Actually, Luo Li did not hate Sirin. Sirin just happened to have many overlaps with her. Furthermore, she felt confident that after Sirin’s memories returned, there would be even more overlap with her, like having a yandere personality.

Only a yandere would understand a yandere.

Although Sirin was slightly younger than Luo Li, she was bigger than Luo Li in some places.

How about you give my system to Sirin while I enter the association? These were Luo Li’s thoughts, but she did not voice them.

After all, the system has helped me a lot. Even if I voiced this thought, even if it could succeed, and even if Chen Heng agreed, coaxing the system would be problematic.

However, even if Chen Heng gives this month’s invitation letter to Sirin, I can wait for next month’s invitation.

As for Mo Qingtong, who cares about her? The Re:Life Chat Group is enough for her.

Chen Heng achieved his aim, and he did not have to worry about giving Luo Li an invitation letter for now. He had not mentioned how many invitation letters Customer Service would give him, so it was normal for Luo Li to misunderstand.

Of course, he did not oppose giving Luo Li an invitation because of pettiness.

The invitation letters were meant to be used in the first place. Chen Heng was not that petty a person. Furthermore, Luo Li had self-detonated her time crystal for him. How could she not be qualified to get an invitation letter?

Chen Heng was not reluctant to part with an invitation letter, either. However, he feared that group of troublemakers in the association causing trouble; after all, he had been quite mischievous in the chat group.

What if those troublemakers had taken screenshots or pulled up the history out of boredom, then let Luo Li and Mo Qingtong see those records? What a headache that would be.

Hence, Chen Heng decided to use this time to work hard on getting those troublemakers to forget his past misdeeds and actively transform his image into a more positive and respectable one.

Of course, he would not truly wait another month to give Luo Li the invitation letter. It would depend on his progress.

Right now, the most problematic member would be Merlin. That fellow’s mouth had no filter. Perhaps Chen Heng should take some time to help Yakumo Yukari teach Merlin a lesson, letting Merlin learn to watch his mouth.

However, Chen Heng felt that if Yakumo Yukari truly caught Merlin, the results would be extraordinarily miserable.

This gave rise to some reluctance and unease.

Therefore, he planned to decide after seeing Merlin’s performance over the next few days.

Hopefully, Merlin would not court trouble during this time.

When Chen Heng went downstairs, he saw Sirin toying with the world consciousness while feeding it.

Sirin, do you make a habit of keeping pets? That’s a world consciousness, not Fafnir!

Furthermore, as Sirin fed that infant world consciousness, he could see its height and appearance starting to resemble hers.

Chen Heng stood at the side and watched the world consciousness change.

After another two or three minutes of feeding, the world consciousness’s appearance was already sixty percent similar to Sirin’s. However, its figure remained illusory.

“Hey, Sirin. Are you planning to rear this world consciousness into another you?”

“Elder Brother, when did you arrive?” Sirin had been too focused on feeding to notice Chen Heng’s arrival.

“I’ve been standing here for two to three minutes already. By the way, Sirin, have you tried speaking to this world consciousness?”

“I did, but it just parroted what I said. It looks stupid. However, it knows to eat when I feed it.”

“How does a world consciousness digest the food it eats? How does it expel its waste?”

As Chen Heng spoke, he prodded the world consciousness’s arm. It felt soft, rather like rubber.

Furthermore, it did not seem to have bones; Chen Heng could push half his finger in.

Wait! Like rubber? Sirin? Human-shaped? Damn!

Chen Heng shook his head, flinging away the dirty thoughts in his mind. Sirin is so cute; I cannot associate her with such filthy thoughts.

“Then, Elder Brother, do you want to try feeding it?” Sirin held out the potato chip in her hand to Chen Heng.

“Al…alright. Let me try.” Chen Heng took the potato chip Sirin handed over; then she moved aside to give him some space.
