I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 439 - 45: Return and Store Refresh (Part 3)

So it has already decided that when it dies, it will take the fragment in its hand to the Otherworld, ensuring that the Four Souls Fragments in the world cannot be gathered... However, on this very night, this Great Demon suddenly discovered that the Four Souls Fragment it sensed through its Talent Ability had significantly...

Just disappeared in an instant?

Could it be that someone else shares the same thought and doesn't want to see the Jade restored to its complete form, taking it to another world?

But its doubts on this matter are likely to remain unanswered.

...

...

Crossing the unknown boundary lies the time belonging to another dimension.

The elevator slowly rolled downward, and the subway entrance became desolate and empty in the late night. Upon returning, Gu Mo instinctively pulled the Witch to one side. Only after observing the surrounding environment did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Nonetheless, the Illusion Technique was not dispelled, just as the Witch's Barrier also remained intact.

"Is this... your era?"

Gently slipping free without a trace, Kikyo hid her hand in her sleeve and somewhat awkwardly asked.

She also felt a bit amazed as she surveyed her surroundings. After all, when she returned to the vicinity of the previous village, she still couldn't understand what was happening. Crossing an invisible boundary in the forest and fields, her vision blurred, and the entire space-time was replaced.

It wasn't a Barrier, nor was it an Illusion Technique, and she didn't even know what had happened.

"Yes, it's also my world... Welcome, Miss Witch."

Gu Mo exhaled, turned to look at Kikyo, and said with a smile while gesturing a welcoming hand motion.

Kikyo glanced at him, then thoughtfully examined the surrounding environment, gently wrinkling her brows but didn't rush to speak. After all, the issues she could sense were surely clearer to him, and he should explain them to her later.

"This is the subway entrance, but there's not much to see. Let's just go up directly. Taking the subway might be a bit troublesome, and you probably don't want to evade the fare..."

Gu Mo pulled out a phone he felt he hadn't seen in a long time, checked it over, and then nodded slightly with a sigh of relief. He then looked up and smilingly suggested.

"Mm." The Witch nodded lightly, unclear whether she understood.

The young man chuckled, glanced at a nearby surveillance camera, thoughtfully rested his chin, and felt there should be no issue. The Barrier's protection would block surveillance, and unless significant attention was drawn, surveillance wouldn't be much trouble either.

Just like when he entered the instance from here before, no issues arose. Though it was partly due to his handling at the time, it was mostly because those few young girls couldn't draw much attention. After all, there were no major incidents. It's unrealistic to say that just because someone makes a comment, it must draw attention.

That kind of management is impossible; that's the most realistic reason. Every day, countless strange comments surface online, from "sightings of unknown creatures" to "aliens taking over the world." Until it genuinely draws focused attention, no resources would be wasted on any of those claims.

Moreover, those young girls probably didn't even mention it, perhaps only scaring themselves back home...

With these thoughts, Gu Mo withdrew his gaze from the surveillance camera. However, he still decided to confirm for safety.

——Anyway, it's quite quick.

Thus, after roughly half an hour.

He finally returned home, pressed the light switch at the door, and took a deep breath at the sight of the brightly lit living room. Despite deciding to move, he couldn't deny that this place genuinely gave him a sense of peace... Maybe because it's the most familiar environment.

"Come in, though conditions are simple, please don't mind..."

He turned back with a hearty smile to the Witch and closed the door once they both entered.

Kikyo's expression remained calm, but a hint of shyness could still be seen in the depths of her eyes. To her, it was apparent that the aura belonging to this person was strong within this home... Perhaps this truly is his dwelling place in this era?

Her eyes flashed with curiosity for a moment but quickly concealed it as the Witch continued to survey the room.

——It looks like this person really is...

——Living a low-profile life in the city just like ordinary people?

"Please sit down, make yourself at home like it's your own place..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After casually tidying up some non-existent dust, Gu Mo threw himself onto the sofa with a stretch, leaning lazily against the back of the chair. His voice even grew languid as he invited the Witch to make herself comfortable.

"There's also an empty room. I'll tidy it up for you in a bit... By tomorrow, we can start setting up Penglai Island. Fortunately, I hadn't bought a house yet, truly saving a lot."

Musing on that, he nodded repeatedly as if deeply in agreement.

Luckily, he hadn't hastily moved last time. Now, having brought an entire idyllic island back, along with "Peach Blossom Spring" and "Dream City," he could entirely build a stronghold of his own... Ahem, he meant his base.

Of course, these are just bonuses...

As he looked at the Witch sitting quietly opposite, Gu Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

He had long intended to bring someone along and had been pondering how to do it, but upon truly extending the invitation, he realized there was no need to fret overly... As long as he could afford the handling fee, the system would take care of it.

He shook his head and checked his phone again, his lips twitching uncontrollably... There was nothing, no one noticed his disappearance because this instance's time flow speed seemed exaggerated.

He had been in the instance for over two months, while only about four days had passed in the real world...

If he had known there was so much time...

"What's wrong?"

Seemingly sensing Gu Mo's frustration, the Witch across asked calmly, with a touch of curiosity in her eyes as clear as autumn waters.

"It's nothing, don't worry. It just feels like I missed out on a fortune... Oh, right, I almost forgot about this." Gu Mo waved his hand, suggesting she shouldn't dwell on it. At the same time, as if recalling something, he reached into the air and grabbed an apparent mirror.

It's important to maintain good practices; the first thing to do when returning to the real world is to refresh the shop.

After all, this crucial monetization method can't be used while in the instance, and any merchandise refreshed daily might be an opportunity.

Under the skeptical scrutiny of the Witch, he effortlessly opened the shop page and headed directly for the daily special.

Displayed first among the goods was—

"Prometheus's Stone Tablet"
