Cat suddenly gave up on going to Mu Jin's room and went to another room instead!
The door was locked.
The cat touched the lock and thought to itself, "I'll just take a look."
She took out a silver needle from her storage space, bent it slightly, and inserted it into the keyhole. In less than two seconds, the door opened!
She quickly pushed open the door and slipped inside.
She had to keep this little trick of prying open the door a secret; she couldn't let Ah Jin know about it.
Inside the room, the heavy curtains were drawn, blocking out all light, making it feel like nighttime even in broad daylight.
The cat turned on the light, but there was still a desolate, dusty feeling, a bit gloomy.
The room smelled of dust, as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. It looked like the room had been left unattended for a long time and no one had cleaned it!
However, the room's furnishings remained unchanged for some time; the blanket was slightly lifted, pajamas were still lying on the sofa, and an empty soda bottle remained on the table.
Although the room's style is simple, it's easy to tell that it's a girl's room.
The cat went up to the bathroom, looked around, and then came back.
Sitting on the bed, she observed for a while, her gaze falling on the bedside table, where there was a photo frame, but it was upside down.
The cat picked it up, and three slightly immature faces came into view.
The first person she saw was Mu Jin. This must have been a photo of him when he was very young. Mu Jin was also very handsome when he was a child! He always had a cold aura. Compared to Mu Ye next to him, who was smiling with a carefree attitude, little Mu Jin was beautiful and aloof.
Another person... stood between Mu Jin and Mu Ye, casually putting his arm around their necks, laughing as he looked at the camera.
She... was a very pretty girl, but her hair was very short, and she looked like a tomboy.
"Is this Mu Xi?" the cat wondered silently.
Mu Jin and Mu Ye had a younger sister who passed away eight years ago. However, this is a taboo subject in the Mu family, and no one will mention Mu Xi.
The cat opened the drawer, rummaged through it, and found a diary. Without much hesitation, she opened it and started reading.
This is indeed Mu Xi's diary! Her name is written on the first page.
The thick notebook contained many trivial details, recorded every day. It seems that Mu Xi has a habit of writing a diary.
The cat flipped through the pages quickly, but whenever she saw Mu Jin's name, she would slow down. In this life, she couldn't know Mu Jin's past; no one could tell her about it.
It seems that all information about Mu Jin's past has been deliberately concealed by those who know him.
So, when the cat looked at this diary, it couldn't help but take it a little more seriously, because there were many things Mu Jin was involved in.
"My older brother's off gallivanting somewhere, but my second brother accompanied me to the sports meet today. It was a day when all the girls in school envied me, hehe."
"My second brother modified a new car, but he won't let me drive it, saying I'm too young? What?! I'm only two minutes younger than him! Why can he speed, but I can't even touch the steering wheel! I'm so angry!"
"A boring summer vacation... My second brother was taken to an island by Dad, and I want to go too..."
"Today is the anniversary of my mother's death... I don't know where my second brother has gone... I know he is grieving, but is there any way to save him? Why should he bear the burden of everything for the Mu family?"
I wish I could be in his shoes. If I had that ability, my second brother wouldn't feel so guilty, right?
My second brother hasn't come back yet, but today is also our birthday..."
The cat stopped flipping through the pages and looked carefully at the diary. It was very long, and it finally made her realize one thing!
Mu Xi and Mu Jin are twins, a boy and a girl! Mu Jin was born only two minutes earlier than Mu Xi!
Their mother died shortly after they were born!
Mu Xi and Mu Jin must have been very close, as she mentioned Mu Jin countless times in her diary.
The cat continued watching.
"Why were we born into the Mu family? Why must someone inherit 'The Missing One'? What good is having extraordinary skills? My second brother isn't happy; his mother's death is a shadow he can never escape for the rest of his life..."
My mother's death was an accident; none of us wanted it to turn out this way. My second brother may be cold, but he was the best to me. I don't believe in curses, but how can I free him from the "Missing Skill"? I hate this technique; let whoever wants to practice it practice it!
"There is an unusual energy vortex near the Arctic. The Song family patriarch saw people coming out of it! Legend has it that Earth is not the only place where humans live. This energy vortex is a kind of portal that flows through the universe. If you unfortunately walk into it, you will either die or be in another dimension!"
I want to find it! This might be my closest chance to get to superpowers! If I succeed, I can help my second brother!
"What should I do? It's been days, and I can't think of a solution. My second brother definitely won't let me go..."
"I found Song Sifan today! He said he can take me! All I need is to go out to sea. My birthday is coming up soon, and I'll borrow a boat from my second brother on my birthday! I refuse to believe that my second brother won't even give me a birthday present!"
"Leaving tomorrow, praying everything goes smoothly!"
That's the end of the diary.
Cat paused for a moment, then looked at the time. The last diary entry was on October 9th, eight years ago.
If she wasn't mistaken, Mu Xi's accident happened after her birthday, and it was caused by her going out to sea with Song Sifan.
That's why Ah Jin dislikes Song Sifan so much...
Soon, the cat closed the diary and put the notebook back in the drawer, but when it was about to close it, it suddenly stopped, took it out again, and put it into the life space!
Anyway, no one ever comes into this room, so even if a notebook is missing, no one will know.
Then, the cat quickly went out and went to Mu Jin's room.
She lost interest in exploring Mu Jin's bedroom and sat in a daze for a while.
She is now completely certain that Ah Jin has indeed inherited the curse of "Missing One's Fate," which is widowhood, loneliness, isolation, and disability, making it impossible to have a complete family.
Does Ajin believe that his mother's death was his fault? Does he even think that Muxi's death was also because of him?
Cat couldn't understand it at all. She was too numb to the concept of death. In hell, there was never any life.
But she knew that humans are always bound by various emotions, and Ah Jin was no exception...
So, what is the energy vortex mentioned in Mu Xi's diary? A dimensional vortex?
In the universe, horizontal space and vertical time constitute countless planes, and Earth at this moment is just one of them. The diary did not guess wrong about this.
Dimensional vortexes are turbulent flows that occur when energy is distorted between dimensions. They can break through the outer energy layer between two dimensions, thus temporarily opening up the two dimensions. They are indeed like a "door".
However, the chances of such a "door" appearing are very small. Even she has never seen one. How could an ordinary person possibly get close to it?
