This sword can be imitated, but what about the bloodstains on the dagger?
What about the breath of life?
Even wear and tear can be imitated?
If it can be imitated, it at least proves that the Cheshire Cat knows the animals she has raised -
At the same time, he also knew everything that his blade had slain—
Then, I should also understand my future.
How do you know?
The laptop beside me suddenly opened by itself, and an email popped up on the screen.
The content of the email reads:
【You should open my gift now, right? 】
Chu Shangli was surprised, but he noticed that there was no internet connection in the lower right corner.
She moved the mouse, trying to close the window, but another email popped up in the window -
"Do you want to turn off your computer? No, you can't. I'm just showing it as an email so it'll look a little softer. I could actually use something even scarier, something that'll make you jump out of your chair. For example, like this..."
The moment this email popped up, a bloody mouth suddenly opened on the screen and let out a "wow" sound.
The screen's nearly realistic shattering effects made Chu Shangli feel suffocated.
Although she did not fall off the stool, she did tremble on the seat, and the legs of the chair hit the ground with a "click" sound.
"What--?"
[This can be considered a gift from my parents. As long as I want to, I can hack into most of the computers and mobile phone platforms in the entire empire. I think other high-ranking officials can do this too. Of course, whether they know of my existence or not is a matter of course. Whether they know or not, I don’t care at all.]
Chu Shangli shook the mouse that couldn't move, made faces at the screen, and made strange noises.
「Well, your expression is quite funny──」
As expected—
Chu Shangli covered the camera on the screen.
[Actually, it doesn't matter whether you turn the camera off or not, because every product produced by Empire has a hidden camera. Even the wallpaper you use in your home and your curtain rods have them. No matter how you cover them, I can still see them.]
Chu Shangli looked around the room in horror.
My own room, but it felt like I was locked in another prison——
It seemed like I had seen something like this in a dystopian novel before. Could it be that the empire itself is a dystopian world?
Don't worry, the Chu family's surveillance cameras have high permissions. If I hadn't had something special to say to you today, I wouldn't have resorted to this method to contact you. Contacting you would also mean revealing my permissions, which you'll have to contend with for a long time. In other words, this might be the only time we'll use this method to communicate.
Chu Shangli clenched his fist——
No, not a fist.
When she came to her senses, she found herself holding the dagger she was used to using.
[It seems like you like my gift very much, holding it so tightly. ]
Chu Shangli raised his head and took a look——
Can you see yourself holding the dagger on the table? Is there a surveillance camera above your head?
Perhaps the dagger itself has a sensor—
It doesn’t matter anymore. Chu Shangli doesn’t want to let go of his hand at all.
Holding this dagger, I feel inexplicably safe——
"Where on earth did you get it?"
[Hmm, it's just as my mother said—you'd be quite interested in it. You probably don't know, but this is something my mother left behind. She originally asked me to give it to you—I don't know why, but she's a prophet after all.]
