Chapter 8: The First World (8) [Part 1]

It was Friday today. Chu Wei will have duty tonight at the hospital and cannot pick Ji Mo up. She sent news to Ji Mo in advance, saying that she can’t pick her up this time.

At evening, Ji Mo received a call.

“Sister.”

Ji Mo finally remembered who the owner of the voice was. It was the original owner’s younger sister Ji Yun, who was still in college. “Xiao Yun?”

“Sister, are you still in your work? I knocked on your door for a long time but no one came out.” Ji Yun replied on the other side of the phone.

There were still one or two months before the holiday arrived, and the summer vacation was still a little away. If Ji Yun planned to come, she would definitely say it in advance.

This sudden visit should have been because something unexpected happened. Ji Yun might have something to do and passed through this city, but an accident happened and she couldn’t go back. 

“Recently, the company is becoming more and more busy and the time I need to work overtime has also become longer and longer. Why did you come here suddenly? You didn’t inform me beforehand, so I wasn’t prepared at all.”

“It’s because I came here for a part-time job, and the money is quite a lot. The company asked me to come here in advance and said that the accommodation and travel expenses were all reimbursed by them. After arriving, I felt something was wrong and quickly went to the bathroom to slip away.”

“Have you tried to call the police?”

“Yes, I’ve already reported it. It turned out to be a pyramid scheme company type of fraud. Fortunately, I ran away quickly after sensing that something is off.” Ji Yun explained with resentment.

Ji Mo said, “I have to work overtime tonight. Just wait at the door for a while. Right, have you eaten?”

“Not yet. After reporting to the police, I came here. Sister, when will you go home?” Ji Yun asked, “If it’s late, I can go to your working place. Do you want some snacks? I’ll bring you some after I get there.”

Ji Mo wanted to say yes, but stopped in the nick of time. “Don’t come, just stay there at the door and don’t go anywhere. Forget it, just go and see if the clinic next to the community is still open, and stay there if it’s not closed. I know the owner of the clinic there, Granny Zhou, and tell her that you are my sister. If you are hungry, go order a takeout online and eat it in the clinic. Remember, don’t go anywhere.”

Ji Yun was three to four points similar to the original owner. The only difference was she was a bit tall. Occasionally, she had to work part-time jobs like modelling, so her mannerism and dressing style was at the top level. No one couldn’t be so sure of what would happen to her in case the misogynist murderer saw her.

“I’m a grown woman now, you don’t have to worry about me.”

“There are many perverts nearby these days. If you still treat me as your sister listen to me, or else I will ignore you the rest of my life.” Don’t blame her for being harsh, but Ji Mo just knew that she couldn’t afford to put Ji Yun’s life in danger.

Ji Yun really heeded her words: “Then I’ll wait for you at the clinic beside the community.”

“If Granny Zhou refuses to let you in, you should thicken your face and follow her inside. I will owe her a favor and pay it back later.” Regarding this, Ji Mo was still uneasy in her heart.

Meanwhile, Ji Yun was still in shock. Is this thick-skinned person her sister?

“Sister, this is not very good, right?”

“Just listen to me. If you don’t listen, I won’t treat you as my sister.”

Ji Yun was flabbergasted. Aside from becoming thick-skinned, her sister also seemed to have become a little rascal. Afraid of triggering Ji Mo’s anger further, Ji Yun immediately agreed to do what her sister said.

Ji Mo pursed her lips. This feeling was not very good. It was even worse than when she was still at the end of the world. At least at the end of the world, she doesn’t have anyone to worry about. Now that Ji Yun came here suddenly, she needs to go back quickly lest the misogynist murderer see her.

“444, it looks like it’s useless to avoid the killer all the time. Should I find a way to trick him out? The more I avoid him, the more vicious he becomes. If I take the initiative to make a move, will he be afraid or even give up?”

[Based on my understanding of you humans, what you said should be right. But are you sure that you can deal with him?]

“In his eyes, I am a weak and a powerless woman. But in fact, I’m far from that. At the very least, after training myself for a period of time, some of the fighting moves I learned from my past life can now be used.”

[Women are inherently inferior to men in terms of physical strength. You are over 1.6 meters tall and weigh less than ninety catties. On the other hand, the killer is somewhat strong, with a height of over 1.75 meters. In short, you can’t beat him.]

“What if I have a knife in hand? I can stab him while he’s not paying attention.” Ji Mo said ruthlessly.

System No. 444 paused for three seconds and said, [Host No. 44, you are committing a crime with that.]

“I’m not, I’m defending myself against him. I have a kitchen knife bought from a store in my hand and went home. Then someone tried to attack me on my way back. If I backhandedly slashed the knife at the perpetrator as an action to protect myself, then it is not a crime. Of course, I would stand still first and let the killer think that I’m not responding before quickly stabbing him with the knife. What do you think?”

System No. 444: [It sounds like nothing wrong, but how feasible and dangerous it is, you need to calculate. Once you die, the mission will automatically be labeled as a failure. And the difficulty of your next world will be doubled.]

“You don’t have any objection to me doing this?”

[The system never restricts how the hosts complete the mission. This is on the scope of your freedom.]

“If that’s the case, I’ll do it tonight.” Ji Mo immediately left after finishing her work. She was worried about her sister, so she speeded up her movements.

By the time she could go back, there were still some stores nearby that were opened. She planned to catch up with them and buy some vegetables and also a sharp knife. Everything was made according to her calculations. She knew that she was taking a dangerous route, but she couldn’t stay passive all the time and continue to hide from the murderer.

Ji Mo thought while she was in the subway.

Forty minutes later, just when the ticked off at nine o’clock, she arrived at the supermarket. She went inside and bought Ji Yun’s favorite dishes, some vegetables and bones, and a sharp knife. She wandered inside the supermarket until it closed, and finally came out.

Then she went to the other stores that were still open and resumed buying stuff like daily necessities.

At this time of night, many stores have closed.
