Chapter 50【VIP】
What’s going on!
Opesa's hand trembled, and the phone rolled out of her palm and fell on the carpet.
She lowered her head hastily, and what she saw was not a black nightgown, but the home clothes she usually wore at home.
She rushed straight to the bathroom, and in the mirror, she saw a girl with short black hair and dark eyes, exactly like herself.
She is no longer the "evil stepmother Opesha", but Jian Yue.
Jian Yue's breathing stopped and her heart sank.
Is she back to reality?
Jian Yue hurried back to the sofa, picked up her phone from the ground, and quickly swiped open the lock screen to check.
Time did not move, it was still the day and moment when she traveled through time.
She opened the novel website and looked through her reading records, and found the novel called "Gray Faith".
She quickly opened the chapter to see what happened next, but except for the first three chapters she had read, the rest of the chapters were a mess of gibberish.
She tried to contact the author and search for the author's account on the Internet, but after searching for a long time, she came up with nothing - the author had cancelled his account long ago, and the novel ended at around 40,000 to 50,000 words.
The feeling of collapse immediately overwhelmed Jian Yue. She was sent back to reality. The novel ended in vain and she couldn't check on Sinderel's current situation, let alone return to that world.
She tried to call the system, but all she got was silence.
She never thought that Sinderel was there, nor did she expect that Kidd could send her back to reality.
Sinderel heard all her words against her will, but the situation was critical at the time. In order to save herself and her two daughters L, she could only temporarily stabilize Kidd in this way.
Now, not only did no one get rescued, but Sinderel turned evil and was forced to withdraw.
Although she had been longing to return to the modern era, when she finally did, Jian Yue felt empty inside. The feeling of frustration drained all her strength and she collapsed directly on the sofa.
After staring at the ceiling for a while, her cell phone rang.
Jian Yue touched her phone and opened it. It was a message from a friend, asking her if she wanted to go to the exhibition together tomorrow.
Jian Yue had no interest in going to the exhibition, so she pretended not to be there and turned off her phone and threw it aside.
However, just as she threw it out, she suddenly sat up and reached for the phone.
She wants to go back.
The whereabouts of Anastasia and Dusula are still unknown.
She also had to apologize to Sinderel and explain.
So she frantically searched online for information about time travel, and in one of the forums, there was actually a blogger who had a detailed fantasy about it.
The poster wrote: The key to triggering the time travel may be due to some medium, and returning may require finding the same medium or recreating the conditions at that time.
Jian Yue thought about it. She was reading a novel on the sofa in the living room at that time. She cursed after thinking that the novel was shitty. When she lay down, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Jian Yue obediently switched the screen and read the first three chapters of the novel again carefully, cursing: "What a piece of crap, garbage!" Then she closed her eyes and waited for the time travel.
Half a minute passed, Jian Yue squinted her eyes and didn't wear anything.
A minute passed, and I didn't feel a splitting headache, so I didn't wear anything.
Two minutes passed... three minutes... ten minutes...
Not wearing any.
Jian Yue pounded the sofa cushions in frustration.
It's useless at all!
She opened her phone again to continue reading what other methods were available, but found that the novel page that was still there when she locked the screen was gone. Instead, there was a crash pop-up window saying "The novel you are reading does not exist."
The novel disappeared, as if someone had discovered that she was struggling to go back and had deprived her of the means to do so.
This method was completely useless. Jian Yue was left with no other options but to return to the forum to read the other answers from the poster.
"Achieve a specific goal, or find a key person..." Jian Yue muttered softly, racking her brains to think of possible specific goals and people.
But the world she traveled through was a virtual world that was completely outside of this world. How could she find the corresponding people or things in reality?
Jian Yue sighed and lay back on the sofa hugging the pillow.
The TV is still playing.
Today is New Year's Eve and the news is broadcasting the New Year's Eve Gala.
It was also extremely noisy outside, and everyone was gathered outside, looking forward to the arrival of midnight.
Jian Yue stared blankly at her feet.
It also happened to be New Year's Eve there.
She had never asked Sinderel what he wanted for a New Year's gift, and she didn't even know what he liked.
He never cared about these things, and she never cared whether it was his true words.
Never mind—she closed her eyes.
Click, click, click.
In the dim house where she was alone, the pointer slowly pointed to zero.
"Sinderel——"
She slowly called out his name.
"sorry."
Jian Yue was in a state of panic.
The heater was turned on too high, and she fell into a deep sleep last night. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up, her hair a mess, and she muttered in dissatisfaction: "Oh,
"Jian Yue! It's me! Li Shasha!" The shrill voice of her friend Li Shasha came from outside the door. Jian Yue scratched her scalp, wondering why she suddenly came to visit.
The door opened and Li Shasha stood at the door, dressed exquisitely, her nails gleaming with polish: "Good morning!"
Li Shasha is a friend of Jian Yue's from high school, a bold and uninhibited girl. She's known as a high school girl, dressed like a hottie, but the biggest contrast to her underdog persona is her status as a top student.
Jian Yue's face was wooden, she leaned against the door frame, quiet and silent, she deserved to be beheaded."
"You're the one who deserves to be killed!" Li Shasha pushed her hand away without a word and walked straight into her house. She casually threw her pink bag, which was as flashy as her, on the sofa. "I sent you a message yesterday, and you didn't even read it?"
information?
I didn't read the message carefully yesterday. Jian Yue took out her phone and took another look. Li Sasa had indeed sent her a message saying she would come to see her the next morning.
Although it was said to be in the morning, but - "You said morning, but you came to see me at seven o'clock? Does that mean you got up at four or five o'clock to put on makeup?" Jian Yue couldn't help but complain.
"You have no idea how hard it is to get tickets for this exhibition." Li Shasha took out two tickets from her bag and slapped them on the coffee table. "I had a hard time getting two. If I hadn't gone early, I would have had to wait in line for a long time."
Li Shasha glanced at Jian Yue's home, which was devoid of any atmosphere, and lowered her voice. "Besides, I want to be with you on the first day of the new year. After all, my uncle and aunt are both abroad, and I can't leave you here alone."
Jian Yue was stunned.
At first, no one thought that the two of them would play together.
Even Jian Yue found it incredible. Such a flamboyant person must think that he is a cup of good tea.
However, it was such a coincidence that the two of them became friends because of the fairy tale book that Jian Yue brought with her during her spring outing. She had never thought that a girl like Li Shasha would like fairy tales, and they both liked the same story, "Cinderella."
"What exhibition?" Jian Yue narrowed her eyes and picked up a ticket from the table. "'...Mysticism Medieval Exhibition'?"
"Yeah." Li Shasha straightened her curly hair and sat up excitedly. "There are a lot of antiques and rare treasures in here. Maybe I can buy that vintage bracelet I've always wanted."
Jian Yue knew her preferences and smiled helplessly before sitting down: "After all this time, you still like those weird things..."
At this point, she suddenly paused, "...Do you believe in God?"
"Yeah, you just remembered?"
"Do you know about the Angel of Fate and the Angel of Pain in the Bible?"
"I know. Amra and Kidd—what's wrong with you? Even an atheist is interested in this?" Li Shasha's expression immediately changed to a serious one when she mentioned her field of expertise. She pushed her leopard-print glasses. "Oh, by the way, there's a grand finale antique in this exhibition that's said to be related to these two angels."
When Jian Yue heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Let's go now."
Li Shasha quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Sister, don't go out in your pajamas."
After tidying themselves up simply, Jian Yue and Li Shasha got into the car.
Jian Yue was staring at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window in a daze. Just then, the car ran over a speed bump and shook slightly. She suddenly missed the bumpy carriage she rode every day in Furlan.
At that time, I always felt too unstable. My buttocks were broken into eight pieces and my hair was blown apart.
Every time this happened, she would comb her hair and mutter to Xindrel in front of her with dissatisfaction, talking about how smooth and silky modern cars were.
Looking back at the present moment, it has become a response to a sharp knife stabbing at oneself.
The car drove smoothly and arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
Jian Yue and Li Shasha got out of the car together. "Let's go." Li Shasha put on her sunglasses and walked forward with her arm around Jian Yue. "Hurry up and go in with your tickets to get the materials. If you're late, they'll be gone."
Jian Yue was pulled forward, her steps hurried. "What kind of material is this? Walk slower, you're wearing those high heels."
Li Shasha pouted and thought, "It looks like an accessory, but if I walk too slowly it will really disappear!"
They passed through the ticket gate and headed towards the exchange counter with a clear purpose. A long line had already formed at the exchange counter. Li Shasha stood at the end, looking forward with her head held high. "There are so many people! Why are they so eager to see the exhibition? I hope they'll run out of tickets by the time we get to them."
"Well, after I finish delivering the goods, I'll buy a second-hand one online..." As she spoke, a man fiddling with some materials passed by. Jian Yue's peripheral vision accurately caught the object in the man's hand, "...a cross?"
"How do you know it's a cross?" Li Shasha blinked. "I heard this material is well-made and very substantial."
No.
What shocked Jian Yue was not the workmanship of the cross.
But it was the appearance—it looked exactly like the cross that Amra had given them!
She immediately looked forward and saw that there were more than a dozen people lined up in front of her, and the staff distributing materials had very little left in the boxes.
"It feels like I can't get it..." Li Shasha also noticed the few materials and said regretfully, "I can buy one online, but it might be overpriced."
"No." Jian Yue insisted, "I must get that cross."
"Huh?" Li Shasha was a little confused by Jian Yue's fluctuating attitude. "What's wrong with you? You say one thing and then another."
"Nothing." Jian Yue had no way to explain, and knowing Li Shasha's inquisitive nature, she lied, "I just saw someone holding it, and it looked pretty good." She noticed a tuft of Li Shasha's hair sticking out from the side, and she smoothed it down. "It's frizzy."
"Jian Yue," Li Shasha whispered slyly into her ear, "You seem to have changed a little."
"How has it changed? It's just that we haven't been out together for a long time." Jian Yue pretended to be calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
"I always feel that you have become more mature and caring. In the past, you never bothered to meddle in other people's affairs."
Jian Yue was stunned when she heard this, and lowered her head while saying "Really?"
Li Shasha has always been perceptive and can always catch things from the details that others have not noticed.
Perhaps it was because she had been a fake mother in that world for a long time that she involuntarily developed the habit of taking care of others.
Although, she never really cared about anyone, nor did she fulfill her obligations as a "mother".
Everything is just about putting yourself first.
Fortunately, Jian Yue still got the cross.
The cross lay in his palm, softly emitting a golden light. The cross was surrounded by green crystals carved into vines and dotted with pale pink crystal roses.
It looks exactly like that cross.
Is this a coincidence?
She doesn't know.
She hung the cross around her neck and followed Li Shasha to visit the exhibition.
In her impression, mysticism should be a very niche circle, but this exhibition completely overturned her previous stereotype - the entire venue was booked, there were crowds of people everywhere, and every stall she passed was overcrowded.
Perhaps it is also a gimmick of mysticism. Many passers-by who don’t know much about it also come to the exhibition to find out what the so-called mysticism is.
Jian Yue took a look at the things sold in the stalls, such as voodoo dolls, magic potions, magic herbs, candles, and crystals, all of which she was used to seeing in Furlan.
Furlan is a country that believes in God, so it's not surprising to see this kind of thing on the streets. Bored, she picked up a crystal bracelet from the cabinet. It looked quite transparent, but the purity was definitely not worth eight hundred yuan, only a few dozen at most.
It's so expensive, it really only rips off the rich. She complained silently in her heart and put the bracelet back into the display case.
However, before I could put it away, the bracelet was taken away by someone: "Hey, this is pretty good, I'll buy it!"
Looking back, it was Li Shasha. Jian Yue was about to stop her, but before she could say anything, the cash register in the store said "800 yuan collected".
Jian Yue: ...
The eldest lady is indeed extraordinary.
Li Shasha has always liked these weird things, and with the addition of second-hand buffs, she visited five small shops in just three steps. She bought a bag but still felt it was not enough, so she stuffed the bag into Jian Yue's empty hands and walked into another shop.
After spending the whole morning exploring, I had only explored one-third of the entire exhibition hall.
Jian Yue sighed and hurriedly advised, "Alright, alright, Miss, don't you want to see the exhibits at all?"
"Huh?" Li Shasha turned around and looked at her, "Didn't I say I was here to buy something?"
"You can't buy it anywhere else, and here it's even at a premium."
"You don't understand." Li Shasha showed a look of incorrigibility. "You only get the feeling when you buy at an exhibition like this."
Jian Yue: ...
He's just stupid and has a lot of money.
To her, everything here is not as pure as the crystals on the clothes sold in her secret language.
Thinking of Furlan again, Jian Yue's gaze shifted to an exhibition area not far away.
She didn't want to buy anything, so she wanted to visit the exhibition alone to get her money's worth. So she put her things at Li Shasha's feet, said hello, and walked around the exhibition area alone.
After a walk around, it was already noon and many people started to leave the exhibition hall to have lunch.
With fewer people around, Jian Yue felt much more at ease.
She walked forward and came to the exhibition area where Li Shasha mentioned the most important antique. However, she was disappointed. The so-called most important antique was just an ancient blue cross.
The introduction states that the blue cross is the representative item of the Angel of Destiny Amra. This cross was made by a famous craftsman in the 19th century and was bought by the organizer for exhibition here.
Apart from this, there is no other useful information.
Jian Yue sighed and shook her head, then turned around and prepared to go back to Li Shasha.
However, just as she turned around, she caught a glimpse of an exhibit on the side out of the corner of her eye.
She paused.
It was a crystal shoe, an extremely beautiful crystal shoe that sparkled brightly under the spotlight.
She couldn't help but be drawn to it and walked towards it.
The name of the exhibit is "Schindler's Glass Slipper".
