Gu Mo opened his email; this was the real focus—
All the system messages and history records were here, including those he had not heard, hadn’t heard clearly, or had missed for various reasons before, all kept as read or unread messages in the form of history records.
The limit for preserved information is three hundred entries; exceeding this number will result in the oldest messages being deleted in chronological order.
Fortunately, since it’s still early days, the records Gu Mo has accumulated haven’t reached this limit, so everything is preserved... It’s precisely because of this that he saw the forced log-off notice that made his blood pressure soar and his anger flare up.
Anti-addiction mechanism...
He took a deep breath to relieve the pressure in his head slightly, found the latest notification, and then clicked on the link provided in the message, redirecting to the "Real Name Authentication" page... and a familiar scene appeared.
What kind of stupid system is this? Was there a problem when it selected and adapted to the cultural rules of the world he was in, or is it really connected to the public security system in the real world?
With a tight expression, Gu Mo painstakingly withheld the urge to mock as he input his real name, ID number, etc., into the tacky input field one by one, then clicked submit. His speed was fast, not only because he didn’t want to look at this page for a moment longer but also because he had developed this speed over the past few days.
After all, he had submitted it several times already...
Sure enough, seeing the suddenly appearing swirling icon in front of him and the line below reading "No network response," Gu Mo sighed as expected, then quietly closed the page.
Again, not sure if it’s because he’s in a dungeon or if he should quickly try it in the real world?
He thought somewhat irritably, casually scooping up some clear water to wash his face, using the chilling sensation to refresh himself and somewhat dispel the fatigue. Standing up, he looked around, found nothing, and then returned to the carriage.
The two carriages set off again, with Fujikichiro leading the way, and most of the luggage loaded onto the carriage.
Gu Mo drove the rear carriage, somewhat enthusiastically holding the reins, occasionally snapping the whip, making distinct sounds in the air. Although somewhat clumsy, the old horse knew the way, and following the front carriage was no problem.
With his mood adjusted, he quickly dispelled the knots in his heart, focusing instead on this new experience, as it was something he had never tried before.
The black-haired girl behind sat properly, quietly looking at the surrounding scenery, and the dim sky seemed not to affect her mood.
"Don’t you feel a bit relieved, Ah Xiu?" Gu Mo said casually while driving, "Now that you don’t have to see that annoying old man, it must be much easier."
Hidechika turned her eyes back, giving his back a brief glance without speaking.
However, Gu Mo didn’t turn back, seemingly understanding her meaning, chuckled, "Actually, the old man is really nice... I mean, he’s nice to you, always speaking softly as if afraid to scare you. He just cares too much, which is why he goes overboard."
Overboard... The black-haired girl paused, thinking briefly before understanding what this word meant, and suddenly found it quite apt.
She knew the elder was genuinely nice to her, but his excessive kindness didn’t allow her the necessary time to adjust—his parental affection so overwhelming that the familial affection and love became excessively suffocating. Within just two days, instead of gradually accepting everything, she felt stifled.
Subjectively knowing that the other party was her father...
Objectively, she had only known him for two days, with no prior impression, and the relationship was truly unfamiliar...
Hence, this was why it felt awkward.
The person in front, still driving the carriage, chattered: "So taking a short break, letting him calm down a bit, isn’t a bad thing. But you eventually have to learn to accept it; after all, he is your father, and also your only family in this world..."
"Oh, wait, not the only family; you were born as a twin, so you also have a sister." Remembering something, he added, while internally mumbling that there was also an uncle, Ootakemaru, the elder brother of their mother, Suzuka.
But thinking carefully, the real Ootakemaru had been killed by Ah Xiu who traveled back in time long ago, and the one causing chaos in the world now was just the evil thought formed by the Wild Soul as Layman Guoxin, so perhaps he didn’t count.
Hidechika’s eyes widened with astonishment; she has a sister?
"Yeah, the old man didn’t mention it these two days? Maybe he temporarily didn’t want to bring up this sad topic." Gu Mo nodded, watching the road ahead, and spoke to the girl behind, "It’s that Saito Yoshitaka, she’s your sister... er, maybe your older sister? Anyway, she looks just like you; you’ll definitely meet her soon."
Saito Yoshitaka...
Her sister...
The black-haired girl opened her mouth, her eyes suddenly showing confusion. Besides having an extra father, now knowing she has a twin sister was quite a shocking revelation for her.
