When Lu Shu saw You Mingyu being hung on the pole as a sacrifice, he jumped in fear. Lu Xiaoyu would definitely be angry at him as he had been out for a very long time. He also did not know what had happened to Zhong Yutang, or why his point of contact had changed to You Mingyu. Furthermore, You Mingyu was very dedicated. He continued to provide Lu Shu with information even as he was being offered as a sacrifice…
Lu Shu asked,
How long have you been hanging here?

You Mingyu was lost in thought.
I’ve been here for three years, and another three years, and another three years. So almost ten years. Brother, I remind myself everyday that I’m a police officer. Even when I dream, I still shout, ‘Put down your gun, I’m a police officer!’

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
What a brilliant actor! Wait, I’ll let you down.


No need, no need.
You Mingyu suddenly said,
After all, I made Xiaoyu angry. Let her vent her anger…



But Lu Shu did not care. After all, it was not right to hang someone on a pole as an offering. He stretched out and grabbed the pole. He was about to set You Mingyu free, but something unexpected happened.

From You Mingyu’s distress, +299.

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Just now, he produced 199 distress points. After Lu Shu said that he would let him go, it grew to 299 points!
Lu Shu felt that You Mingyu was thinking of something else. Thus, he had produced 299 distress points. It should not be what he was thinking…
But as he pulled the pole out of the ground, it changed to 399 distress points…
You Mingyu said calmly,
There’s really no need…

Lu Shu wanted to prove whether what he was thinking was on the right track or not. He put the pole back into the ground and secretly checked his system’s back end. This time, You Mingyu did not produce any distress!

Ha ha.
Lu Shu wordlessly looked up at You Mingyu… he did not need any words. The distress points spoke the truth. No wonder he only produced 199 distress points after being there for so long!
Lu Shu set You Mingyu free and said with a sense of justice,
I feel bad that you were stuck there for so many days. Hurry up and rest.

He wanted to pat You Mingyu’s shoulder, but he retracted his hand. He went back into his house without looking back.



From You Mingyu’s distress, +666!

You Mingyu said,
Be careful. Some strange happenings have occurred across the world. Also… keep an eye on Little Fury.

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. What strange happenings? Did some trouble occur in the half a month he had spent floating in the sea?
Also, what happened to Little Fury? Lu Shu had an unpleasant premonition.
Little Fury was now very intelligent. Its intelligence did not differ much from a person’s. But it had never received any proper moral education. It may form the wrong beliefs after seeing the great wide world.
Lu Shu opened the door and saw a bowl of freshly made, piping hot tomato noodles with egg. It was like the bowl that Auntie Liu had made when he and Lu Xiaoyu returned to Qingzhou.
Giving dumplings before departure and giving noodles upon arrival. This evoked a very warm feeling, as if there would definitely be someone waiting at home when you returned. They were busy in the kitchen so that you could eat freshly cooked food when you returned.
The television was on, but the volume was very soft. Global news was being broadcast. The anchorwoman was reporting on a major accident that had happened that afternoon. Two motorcycles had crashed into each other and injured more than seventy people.
Lu Shu saw Lu Xiaoyu quietly sitting on the sofa and reading a book. It seemed as if she did not realize that Lu Shu was home.

You…
Lu Shu wanted to speak, but stopped.


It seemed as if Lu Xiaoyu did not hear anything, and that bowl of noodles had nothing to do with her.

Your book is upside down.
Lu Shu finally spoke.

From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +999!

She could not continue her act. Lu Xiaoyu silently threw the book on the sofa and changed the channel to Naruto.
Eat your noodles. Little Fury made them, not me.

Little Fury jumped in from the window. It suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the room was odd. It was dumbfounded.
It hesitated and took out a pocket-sized notebook from its little backpack. It wrote with a small pencil.
Who made this bowl of noodles? I want them…


From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +299!

Lu Shu laughed. So Lu Xiaoyu had made the bowl of noodles for him. She was very upset and did not want to care about him. But the moment she knew that he was about to return, she could not help but busy herself in the kitchen to make Lu Shu some freshly cooked food.
After traveling around the world, experiencing the whole spectrum of human emotions, and loneliness, the world felt as if it had returned to its beginning.
But when Lu Shu looked at Little Fury, his expression darkened. He held Little Fury in his hands.
What happened to your hair?



The tuft of purple hair on Little Fury’s head had become colorful. It looked like it had been permed. Little Fury looked very smart.
Little Fury wrote on its small notebook, trembling in fear.
I smoked, I drank alcohol, and I permed my hair. But I am still a good Fury.

Lu Shu was silent.
Did you get any tattoos?

Little Fury carefully looked at Lu Shu and wrote.
Are tattoos…


I’ll tattoo a vulgarity on you,
said Lu Shu kindly.

From Little Fury’s distress, +666!

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly got up and walked out. Lu Shu saw Lu Xiaoyu jump up to the roof. He let Little Fury down and went out.
When he came to the roof, he saw Lu Xiaoyu sitting down on the edge of the roof. She faced the sunset, thinking about something.

Lu Shu, isn’t the world outside exciting?
Lu Xiaoyu said in a small voice,
I went to Russia, Egypt, and Germany. The people there are very kind. Although I didn’t understand what they were saying, they gave me food. Of course, there were some unlawful people. I thanked those who gave me food and I killed those who were unlawful.

Lu Shu quietly sat beside Lu Xiaoyu. They looked at the sun setting in the distance and sinking into the orange clouds. They were bathed in the warm light.


Lu Shu did not speak. Lu Xiaoyu continued to talk.
I was in Russia for five days. Somehow, I was attacked by someone there. I thought that he was crazy. What was he doing? After that, I was in Egypt for 11 days, then Germany for seven days. I had wanted to go to Sweden, but I went in the wrong direction. Afterwards, I came back, disappointed. This is my first time traveling so far. Suddenly, for the first time, I felt that the world was big. So big that… I couldn’t find you.
