Home

Chen Miemie in his Eternal Moon state was Yellow Clothes. He did not take the regular route back to the city.

Qinghua and Bobo could barely be stored on his body, but the newly joined Loop did not have possession-like functions.

For the time being, Chen Miemie did not want too many people to know that he could contract with anomalies.

The people in the city would most likely be unable to accept anomalies living beside them right now.

Therefore, a streak of moonlight pierced the sky like a shooting star as Chen Miemie took his three companions straight home.

What he hadn't anticipated was that, in the school's eyes, not returning through the city gates within 12 hours meant failing to return at all. He was directly placed on the killed-in-action list for the graduation exam.

In the living room of Room 1803.

"This is our home now. Loop, could you please control yourself a bit and not pierce through the floor?"

"Of course, this is just basic power control. I can even control my passive ability now."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is your passive? Why haven't I felt it?"

"My passive is my name: Loop."

"How so?"

"I can turn myself from one into two, two into four, four into eight, up to a maximum of 128."

"That sounds like it should be called duplication."

"No, each 'me' is not absolutely identical. We are like different fruits growing on the same tree."

"So, you're all sisters?"

"It's hard to describe. Not sisters either; we are all the same person."

"You're making me a bit dizzy. Why don't you continue explaining how duplication turns into a loop?"

"When there are 128 of me, my state shifts from multiplying to dividing. From 128 people, the number halves each time until I finally become one person again. This entire process is called a loop, and I will continuously undergo this loop forever."

"Your passive doesn't sound very harmful."

"That's because I stay far away from the city. The multiplication is an ability manifestation, but the reduction is not. Every time, I have to slaughter each other in the village until only one of me is left.

If there are other living creatures around me, I will launch indiscriminate massacres until I complete my own population reduction."

Chen Miemie, Qinghua, and Bobo: ...

Previously, they thought Loop was very yandere and ruthless, but at this moment, everyone felt that she hadn't completely turned evil and was actually kind enough. At the very least, she knew to lock herself up in a wilderness village.

Noticing the pity in the eyes of the three, Loop smiled:

"Don't look at me like that. The loop has happened countless times. I'm already used to it; it's just my daily routine. Besides, I can control this passive now and am about to start a new life."

The past was not brought up again, and everyone began teaching her new things.

Soon, Loop also learned how to summon the yellow-font status panel.

She curiously opened her panel:

[Loop / Stitch Nurse] [Mystery] 4.5 [Immortality] 7.6 Abilities: Medical Care, Needle Awl, Loop, Eternal Moon Familiar

The panel displayed her stats before the Eternal Moon Familiar bonus.

[Eternal Moon Familiar] could permanently increase the [Mystery] of Chen Miemie's familiars by 0.3 and their [Immortality] by 0.5.

Right now, under the Eternal Moon, her stats should be: [Mystery] 4.8 [Immortality] 8.1.

"Huh? Your [Mystery] is only 4.5? Why did I feel you were so strong when we fought earlier?"

"No, it was mainly because I was attacking you. If I had faced Qinghua or Bobo alone, even dozens of me going up would just be sending ourselves to death one by one."

Dark lines formed over Chen Miemie's head.

He had thought it was an epic battle like the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu.

After all that, it turned out he, acting as Liu Bei, was just dead weight and the weak link in the group.

"Right now, how many of you are there, Loop?"

"Just me."

"And in the village?"

"None left."

Those simple words "none left" were the color of fresh blood.

"By the way, Loop, if there is only one of you and you get killed, what happens then?"

"It will spawn two of me. One will just turn into two. I am Loop; I loop forever."

"Awesome, no wonder your [Immortality] is so high, even higher than mine." It was Bobo's first time seeing an existence harder to kill than herself.

Bobo didn't realize it, but Chen Miemie and Qinghua immediately understood: the reason Loop knew the consequences of dying in a single-person state meant she had once tried to end herself completely.

Chen Miemie patted Loop's head.

"When daytime comes, I'll go buy you a pair of pants with a concealing function. If your legs are covered, Loop, you can go out with me from now on. From now on, you are an anomaly with an organization."

"Mhm, okay."

In his Eternal Moon state, Chen Miemie felt no fatigue.

But after all, during the graduation exam that had just ended, he hadn't slept for a whole day.

If he pulled another all-nighter now, he would probably sleep through tomorrow, flipping his day and night schedule entirely.

He didn't want to disrupt his biological clock's rhythm, so he obediently went to bed.

Chen Miemie went to sleep.

The three anomalies in the house did not sleep.

Qinghua and Bobo knew how to find places to stay. Qinghua entered a porcelain vase and transformed into a maid, while Bobo jumped into an iron pot and covered herself with the lid.

The newcomer Loop had nothing to do and felt a bit unaccustomed.

She found a bag of yarn on the floor by the sofa.

Chen Miemie had wanted to use the Loom of Fate to weave clothes using moonlight as thread, but after some attempts, he found it too difficult for a knitting novice like him.

Yarn at least had a physical form, making it simpler than the intangible moonlight. Chen Miemie had bought it for basic practice.

In the dark night, a bored Loop used the needles on her feet to pick up the yarn.

When Chen Miemie woke up again, it was already 11 o'clock. This sleep had been of very high quality.

Qinghua was also on his bed. Today was a scorching golden sun.

He had just walked out of the bedroom.

"Loop, you actually know how to do this?!"

He saw Loop using her two needles, coordinating them perfectly. A pair of purely "foot-made" woolen pants was about to take shape.

"Oh, I had nothing to do at night, so I played with these yarn balls and incidentally made myself a pair of woolen pants to conceal my legs."

Chen Miemie made a huge leap and grabbed Loop's hands. "Master Loop, please teach me."

"Oh, sure."

Hearing Chen Miemie's voice, the pot lid in the kitchen was sent flying from the inside.

Bobo jumped out. "Chen Miemie, time to eat! You already skipped breakfast, so you must eat more than half a roast chicken for lunch!"

When Chen Miemie woke up, it was as if the whole house had woken up too.

After eating and chatting for a while, Chen Miemie remembered that he was now a super-rich person.

"Have you seen my watch? This local tycoon is going to make a transfer and return the time to Joker."

"Here." Qinghua had lain next to Chen Miemie and helped him put away his carelessly placed watch to prevent it from getting crushed.

Upon getting the watch, it came online and showed a newly arrived message.

Time: 12:01

Sender: Liu Bo

Content: My son Chen Miemie, rest in peace.

"What rest in peace?"

Chen Miemie felt this remark was baffling, so he sent a message back to ask.

A new message arrived immediately.

Time: 12:03

Sender: Liu Bo

Content: Are you human or an anomaly? How are you able to use Chen Miemie's watch?

Chen Miemie replied: Liu Bo, you're sick in the head. I am Chen Miemie.

Time: 12:04

Sender: Liu Bo

Content: You're still alive? Where are you now? The school said you didn't come back and put you on the casualty list.

Chen Miemie replied: I really didn't run into the teachers when I came back. I just woke up and I'm at home right now.

Time: 12:05

Sender: Liu Bo

Content: Wait there, I'm on my way.

It wasn't just Liu Bo; Fengling also sent a message.

Time: 12:08

Sender: Loli Teacher

Content: Liu Bo said you returned to the city and are at home now? We'll be right there.

"What's going on? A surprise home visit? Qinghua, Bobo, Loop, tidy up a bit. Don't let them notice anything off later."

Over twenty minutes later.

Another new message arrived.

Time: 12:32

Sender: Loli Teacher

Content: Open the door, kid. Liu Bo and I have been knocking for ages with no response.

Chen Miemie looked at the front door in confusion.

Who was knocking?

He opened the door, but the entrance was completely empty.

He sent a message: There's no one at the door. Teacher, why are you messing with me just like Liu Bo?

When Chen Miemie received the next messages from his teacher and Liu Bo, his expression drastically changed.

He slammed the door shut.

"Everyone out, go into high alert."

Qinghua, Bobo, and Loop appeared. Bobo asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chen Miemie's face was grim.

"Liu Bo and my mentor are currently at my front door. According to them, my home address is Room 1803 in the Paradise Building, but this is Room 1803 in the South District Building. So..."

Qinghua finished his thought, "So, this isn't actually your home."
