After changing out of the hospital gown and putting on his own clothes, Victor left the ward.
When he reached the corridor, he finally saw the bright moon in the sky.
No wonder the hospital was so quiet—it was nighttime.
[Victor: Family, I'm back! Did you miss me?]
After leaving the hospital, Victor was the first to open the chat group.
Perhaps because it was night, the group seemed particularly quiet.
It wasn't until Victor showed up that the tranquility was finally broken.
[Lumine: Oh, you finally showed up. I thought something happened to you.]
[Stelle: What did you do during those two days you disappeared? I tagged you so many times but you didn't respond.]
[Victor: I bought all your abilities, and then I slept for two days. Now I feel refreshed! I am full of energy!]
[Belle: Don't you guys sleep at night?]
[Kiana: That's right, I was woken up by the chat group notification not long after I fell asleep.]
[Lumine: We recommend setting the reminder sound to be automatically muted at night.]
[Kiana: There is such a function? I'll try it!]
[Victor: Speaking of which, Lumine, which country among the seven nations have you reached?]
[Lumine: ??? What's going on? How did you know I was traveling through the Seven Nations?]
At this moment, Lumine's face was full of confusion.
She didn't remember telling Victor about her situation.
The only time she had mentioned this was to Belle and Stelle a month ago, when she first joined the chat group.
Could it be possible that a newcomer could view chat records from a month ago?
[Victor: It's very simple, because in my original world, I have watched and played your anime and games, so I naturally know you very well.]
Anyway, there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.
[Belle: Are you kidding me? Are we all virtual characters in anime and games? Our lives, everything we do, and the tragedies happening around us are all designed?]
At this moment, Belle suddenly felt a sense of despair that the world was fake.
When everything in life is designed by someone, what is the meaning of living?
[Victor: I used to think that you were just characters in a virtual world, but now in my eyes, you are living people.]
[Stelle: Well said! I don't think of myself as a person in a virtual world.]
[Kiana: That's right! So what if I'm a game character? So what if I'm an anime character? Can you still deny my existence?]
[Lumine: Although I am surprised, I don't think I am fake.]
[Belle: Then how do we explain those anime and games about us?]
[Victor: Actually, there is a theory that can explain it, which is the story projection theory.]
[Victor: It means that what happens in your world will be projected into another world and appear in someone's mind in the form of a story.]
[Victor: Those who have the ability will make these stories into animations and games.]
[Belle: So that's how it is?]
[Kiana: That sounds reasonable.]
[Victor: Even if we take a step back, maybe you were fake before, but from the moment you entered the chat group, you are real lives!]
[Belle: Yeah, how could I have forgotten the chat group.]
After listening to Victor's explanation, Belle felt better.
The chat group existed outside the story line. Wasn't its appearance the most favorable proof that they were living people? (Well you are in mine now... HEHEHE)
[Belle: @Victor, thank you.]
[Victor: You're welcome.]
[Victor: Let's get back to the point, Lumine, which nation are you in now?]
[Lumine: I just finished my trip to Liyue and am preparing to go to Inazuma.]
The original plot was still so early?
[Lumine: After going to Inazuma, is there anything I should pay attention to?]
[Victor: Let's talk about it after you get to Inazuma, and I also need to recall the plot carefully.]
After all, the Inazuma storyline was released in 2021, and he had transmigrated in 2025—a gap of four years!
Although he still remembered the main storyline, he had almost forgotten some of the details.
[Victor: And you too, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me.]
[Stelle: I don't have anything to ask. My future is nothing more than following the train to other planets to solve crises.]
[Belle: I don't have anything to ask.]
[Kiana: Then can you tell me the answers to tomorrow's test?]
[Victor: How could I possibly know about this?]
[Shinobu: Everyone, I beg you to do me a favor!]
At this moment, Shinobu, who had not appeared before, finally spoke up.
[Victor: What happened?]
[Shinobu: My sister is in danger, I want you to save her!]
Shinobu's sister... Kanae Kocho?
In other words, the timeline that Shinobu was currently in was four years before the beginning of the story.
[Victor: Let me do it! I've always wanted to test my abilities.]
[Lumine: Since Victor has gone, I won't go.]
[Kiana: Me too. I have to get up early tomorrow.]
[Belle: I have a commission tomorrow morning, so I won't go.]
[Stelle: I want to go, but I'm afraid that March 7th and Dan Heng will find out that I suddenly disappeared and worry about me.] (A/N: They are actual names)
[Victor: Then I'll go alone, Shinobu, here I come.]
"Chat group system, purchase the Traversal Talisman and use it."
At the same time, in the Demon Slayer World.
The stars twinkled, the moonlight was like water, and a petite figure ran quickly through the dark night.
The dark blue Demon Slayer Corps uniform made her almost blend into the darkness.
Suddenly, a circular dimensional crack appeared before her eyes.
Then a man in a white T-shirt and blue jeans walked out.
"Are you Mr. Victor?" Shinobu looked at the man in front of her.
"That's right."
Victor nodded and looked at Shinobu in front of him with admiration.
She was worthy of being a 2D goddess. Although Shinobu's youthful features hadn't completely matured, it couldn't conceal her charm.
"Time is running out, please follow me!"
As she said this, Shinobu was about to continue on her way, but Victor scooped her up in his arms.
"Running is too slow, let's fly over there and you show me the way!"
Without waiting for Shinobu to react, Victor took off into the air.
"Which direction?"
Since she was eager to save her sister, Shinobu didn't pay much attention to such an intimate gesture.
She pointed in a certain direction and said, "Over there!"
"Hold on tight."
Whoosh—!
Under the moonlight, a black shadow flashed by, drawing a long arc through the air.
In just a few breaths, the two of them crossed dozens of kilometers and arrived above a town.
"Is this the place?"
"That's right! This is exactly where the intelligence says it is!"
Shinobu lowered her head and scanned the city below, not missing any corner as she tried to find her sister.
Soon she made a discovery in the northwest corner of town.
"Look, over there!"
