Chapter 97 Extra: Returning to reality and establishing a cross-border channel...
【8:00】
Generally speaking, Chen Shuang's biological clock is very stable.
When she opened her eyes and saw the electronic clock hanging on the opposite wall, she still felt dazed.
It's already this time.
The room was clean and quiet, with soft sunlight shining through the window onto the bedside, creating a faint warmth on the back of her hand, and even the chill from the infusion subsided a little.
Shen Shuang looked around.
Is this...a hospital?
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then a voice rushed in: "I know, I know, I can definitely take good care of people."
As soon as the intern teacher walked in and made eye contact with Chen Shuang inside, her hands loosened and the bouquet of flowers she was holding fell to the ground.
She shouted, "Teacher Chen Shuang, you're finally awake!"
The excited intern teacher rushed over instantly. Chen Shuang subconsciously dodged and pulled out the infusion needle flexibly and smoothly. Then a gust of wind blew past, carrying her away from the bed easily and standing steadily on the ground.
Wind magic.
Frightened by the overly agile figure, the intern teacher stammered, "Teacher Chen Shuang, you, you, you, are all fine."
Chen Shuang touched the gauze on her head. Although she felt that it was nothing serious, she looked at the intern teacher's horrified face and coughed lightly, covering her head and shaking it a few times. "It still hurts a little. Let me rest for a while."
The intern teacher hurried over to help him, carefully helping him onto the bed. "I knew it! How could you fly just now? You must be hallucinating from worrying too much lately. I'll go to the psychiatry department later."
Chen Shuang: “…” She accepted it very smoothly.
"The doctor said you need to rest. I'm taking care of your cat. You can rest assured and stay here for a few more days." The intern teacher assured: "If you hadn't pushed me away at that time, I might have lost my life. Teacher Chen Shuang, please tell me what you want. I'm grateful for saving your life. I..."
"Alright, alright," Chen Shuang said helplessly, looking at the young man crying in front of her. "Then help me with the discharge procedures. I'll go home and stay for two days."
"Because," she said, "someone is waiting for me at home."

Before leaving, 147 packed up everything in his backpack and put it in the storage room of the Dark Temple, leaving only the witch's contract scroll to her.
Chen Shuang opened the door of the duplex, and a familiar scent hit her face. Her own black kitten immediately came up to her, meowing and circling around her feet.
The speed of time flow is different on both sides.
It had been a long time over there, but less than a week had passed in this world. However, even so, the cat at home felt very aggrieved.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
She touched the cat's head, comforted it for a while, changed its food, opened its favorite can of food, and gave it a new toy before coaxing the anxious cat away.
After it was finally over, sitting on the sofa at home, Shen Shuang asked: "Is Xiao 1 here?"
【Here I am】
After completing the task, even 147's system sound seemed much more relaxed.
[Congratulations on completing the task. I will uninstall it on the third day. Before that, I will accompany you for a short time. If you have any other needs after uninstalling, you can call the hotline of the People's Crossing Administration.]
The system popped up a string of numbers, which was obviously a phone number, signed by the People's Crossing Administration.
Chen Shuang looked up: "Are you leaving?"
[Yes, it was a pleasure to work with you on this mission. You have been voted "Best Host of the Year" internally.]
It set off a small firework for itself.
[There's also an award for "Best Assistance System of the Year." I'm going back to claim it.]
It seems that the welfare system of the People's Crossing Administration is quite good.
Chen Shuang: "Will we never meet again?"
I am so comfortable using 147 that I would feel uncomfortable if I were to leave it for a while.
[As a system, I will end the cooperation relationship with you normally]
The system paused for a moment.
[But as a friend, I hope you don't mind me visiting you during the holidays.]
The system smiled.
[The journey has ended, but your poem continues. Please continue your prologue.]
The ancient parchment scroll unfolded in the air, and the obscure words on the scroll gradually lit up and floated out of the scroll. The star-like words revolved around Chen Shuang, and finally formed a dazzling starry sky gate before his eyes, with the mysterious sea of stars twinkling in it.
Chen Shuang's eyes reflected the sea of stars: "This is the link channel the witch mentioned."
A free passage to both sides.
Each star has a different aura and seems to symbolize a different world.
Which one is she going to?
As Chen Shuang approached, a star with a soft halo quickly moved over and rubbed against her fingertips affectionately.
"So it's you."
With a light poke of the fingertips, the world that had been pushed away spun around dizzily, then stuck back in happily, as if it had caught a favorite toy.
The light in front of my eyes grew brighter and brighter until I suddenly felt a pulling sensation in my body.
Chen Shuang's eyes went dark, and a "ding dong" sound came to her ears.
[Honorable Priest, Welcome to the New World]
The moonlight is bright.
Fluorescent irises swayed in the night breeze, lingering under the lush tree canopy.
The giant tree is lush with branches and leaves, dotted with stars, which makes people unconsciously quiet down, for fear of disturbing the beauty of this moment.
This is the big tree that grew from the [unknown seed]. The seedlings that grew out at that time also stunned Iper and the vines, making the god drunk in his dream.
"Tree of Life, long time no see."
Before leaving, he used the Tree of Life to allow Eskin to return to the human world, freeing him from his burdensome identity and becoming a free elf.
"Chen Shuang?"
Suddenly, Eskin's voice was heard in his ears, followed by a "ouch", and the golden-eyed little T elf was pulled down from the crown of the Tree of Life by a strong vine.
Eskine frowned, looking at himself, who was once again wrapped tightly, and the stubborn vines, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you everywhere?"
The vine stretched out its tip and saluted Chen Shuang who had just appeared, then turned around and began to rub the elf's hair until the smooth hair became messy.
"Bang!"
A thick historical book was stuffed to the elf by the vines, and the vines danced, imitating the movements of writing and drawing.
Eskine: "The history I'm taught is all wrong, so I won't do my homework."
Before the echo of the word "don't write" had faded, the former god, now an elf, was instantly wrapped up like a dumpling by the kind-hearted vines, and then quickly dragged away in the direction of the school.
"I don't write—"
"I won't write—"
Soon, Eskin's exposed mouth was also covered up, and the sound turned into a "mmm".
Chen Shuang: “…cough.”
Well, not so free and easy.
"priest?"
A familiar voice fell into my ears, followed by a warm embrace.
The god hugged the priest tightly from behind, rubbed his head against her neck, and his warm breath fell on her ears.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Shen Shuang patted his hand: "How long has it been?"
Shen said sullenly, "Three days."
"It's only been three days," she said, pulling away, "You missed me that much?"
"It's actually three days," the god hugged tighter and tighter, "I also want to go to the Duskwood to find the witch and ask her to find a way to send me there."
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you come back, so I've been waiting here."
God sniffed the familiar scent gently: "With every passing day, the scent of you here fades a little, and I feel you are one step further away from me."
He walked in front of Chen Shuang, their eyes met, his eyelashes slightly drooping, looking at the person in front of him devoutly and seriously: "If I hadn't told myself countless times in my heart that I believe in your promise, I might not be able to control myself."
I can't help but weigh and guess the weight of this promise.
I couldn't help but wonder if something had happened.
I couldn't help but look for ways to find her.
Every time he heard a sound under the tree, he would look back with joy. Sometimes it was falling leaves, sometimes it was a stray bird, but there was never a familiar figure.
Chen Shuang reached out to tidy up the long hair on Shen’s chest: “Tell me, what should I do if I don’t come back and you can’t find me.”
He said firmly: "I will find you."
“Just saying if.”
The god thought about this possibility, and suddenly a look of loneliness appeared on his face. He opened his arms and hugged the person in front of him tightly, as if only in this way could he ensure that all this was not a dream.
He said slowly: "Then I will wait for you."
"Wait until even the divine body can no longer resist and is burned into the heavenly fire along with its consciousness."
God said softly, "Didn't that guy Eskine say there's reincarnation? If I can't wait for you this time, I'll wait for you next time. If I can't wait for you next time, I'll wait for you the next time..."
"But I'm not as pessimistic as him, thinking of committing suicide when I think things are going badly." The god put Chen Shuang's hand on his face and said, "I'm very strong."
God said proudly, "I am sure I will persevere to the end every time."
Chen Shuang's eyes moved slightly: "Even if there is no hope."
"How can there be no hope? You said you would come back, but sometimes it takes a little longer. I will wait for you at home obediently."
He said, "I believe you."
"I... believe you."
God's voice gradually became lower: "But I still feel sad when I think that I won't be able to wait for you."
Shen Shuang pulled one hand out of his embrace and patted his head soothingly: "Maybe I encountered difficulties on the way, it must not be intentional that I didn't come back."
"That's even more sad," the god said, "You actually encountered difficulties without my knowledge. It's my fault. I didn't protect you well..."
“Stop!”
Seeing that Ipper was about to cry, Chen Shuang immediately reached out and clamped his face from both sides, smiling and changing the subject: "I'm back now."
"I'm back, but the thought of you not coming back still makes me feel a little..."
“Hmm!”
The god's eyes suddenly widened as he felt the soft touch on his lips.
As the force increased, red appeared at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were gradually covered with a hazy light.
Shen Shuang slowed down her breathing and whispered, "Are you thinking about anything else now?"
The god shook his head, uncontrollably moving closer, his voice hoarse: "... again."
The silver trees swayed their crowns shyly, and the slanting starlight completely obscured the human figures.
A pitch-black barrier suddenly unfolded, covering up all movement.
Only the occasional muffled words remained.
The god from the night smiled, and his deep voice lingered in my ears.
“…Come again.”
