Turning back time a bit.
Ejie's expression went through a series of changes, mainly becoming gloomy and tense.
When the other party said something about him being a threat and would send him back to his original world if he didn't explain his origins, his answer was simply that he had been on a battlefield moments before and then inexplicably found himself in this place.
With just this response, he fell silent.
Afterward, the other party informed him of some things, containing so much information that it felt unreal and made him nervous.
Although he had read many novels, including stories centered around interdimensional chat groups and similar concepts.
So, if he were to encounter something like this, he should be delighted, but for him, there was only intense uneasiness.
He couldn't help but doubt the reality of this world again.
He might have fallen into some experiment arranged by those guys.
He feared his memories had been probed, and this scenario was created to make him believe he was like a novel protagonist whose moment of glory had finally arrived.
But what was the purpose of such an experiment? Pure entertainment?
In any case, if the four Chaos Gods were experimenting on him, he would be in trouble.
But what if he had genuinely encountered such an opportunity?
This would indeed be an incredible stroke of luck for him, allowing him to leave that terrible world and not have to live in constant fear.
So, how could he prove that he had truly crossed over to another world due to the invitation from the [Super-Dimensional Channel], rather than falling into an experimental world created by the four Chaos Gods?
First, he still couldn't connect to the Golden Throne.
Logically, he should be able to connect from anywhere in that universe, in any part of the warp-affected cosmos.
The fact that he couldn't connect now meant he had truly escaped from that universe?
But there was another possibility for being unable to connect: the person sitting on the Golden Throne had kicked him offline, refusing the connection.
But that didn't seem likely, especially since he was being asked to do things.
So, had he truly crossed over?
He closed his eyes and relaxed his entire being.
He bit his tongue, feeling both pain and the taste of blood, while his hand touched the nearby tree, and his other hand brought an intact fruit to his mouth for a bite—it tasted somewhat sour.
Taking a deep breath, he clearly sensed the unchanged essence of nature.
When he opened his eyes again, what entered his vision remained the same, but the panic and confusion in his eyes had been replaced by determination.
Guided by his intuition, he believed he had truly crossed over to another world.
After all, he couldn't keep hesitating and faltering; it was time to take a gamble.
So, let's look at the so-called [Super-Dimensional Channel].
How to open it?
As soon as he thought about opening it, a window popped up in his mind.
He would see what the other members in this channel were saying.
Blankness, very quiet, no one chatting?
No history records either?
Should he say something?
How to speak?
Hmm? It seemed he understood.
[Golden Toilet: Anyone breathing? Squeak once
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Squeak~~]
Someone responded instantly.
This ID was so full of chuunibyou syndrome, it felt familiar, giving him a sense of déjà vu.
[Fallen Saint Black Cat: You're still alive? I thought you were murdered
Golden Toilet: Why would I be murdered?
Fallen Saint Black Cat: How dense are you! You just joined this special chat group and foolishly accepted someone's invitation to another world. What if they wanted to harm you?
Golden Toilet: Harm me? Why? What benefit would there be?
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Hmm, that's unknown for now, but that A2 who invited you never speaks, which can't help but make one suspicious.
Fallen Saint Black Cat: By the way, she's still not saying anything. You didn't kill her, did you?
Fallen Saint Black Cat: No, that can't be right. If she died, you would probably be ejected from her world, right?
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Well, not necessarily, since this situation hasn't occurred before
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Have you met the person who invited you?
Golden Toilet: We haven't met face-to-face, but we connected via radio. It was through her telling me that I learned about this channel; otherwise, I would have thought I was trapped in some hallucination.
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Hehe, I was the same at first, unable to distinguish it from my delusions, so my self-talking behavior scared both my sisters
Golden Toilet: Two sisters? Fallen Saint Black Cat? Black Cat?
Fallen Saint Black Cat: ???]
Ejie couldn't help but show a strange expression; he finally realized why this ID seemed oddly familiar.
Let's test it.
[Golden Toilet: Chuunibyou, evil eye, weird girl, Gothic Lolita outfit]
In another world.
"Bang!"
That was the sound of a pair of delicate, seemingly breakable hands slamming on a desk.
"Miss Gokou, what's wrong?"
"Uh, no-nothing, sorry, teacher~"
The somber-looking petite girl with long straight black hair, referred to as Miss Gokou, apologetically addressed the teacher at the podium before sitting down embarrassed.
This seated girl—Ruri Gokou, a third-year middle school student—was still feeling excited.
Once upon a time, she would perform strange rituals in her room every night, talking on the phone with imaginary characters.
Then, suddenly one day, a [Super-Dimensional Channel] mysteriously appeared in her mind, with people from other worlds.
At first, she thought it was a new delusion, an incredible fantasy that could appear in her mind at any time.
She believed her chuunibyou syndrome had worsened, which made her anxious.
Although she embraced the chuunibyou lifestyle, she was still a normal person and didn't really want to become neurotic with severe delusions.
After being invited to another world, she confirmed she had encountered a genuinely extraordinary event.
This made her extremely excited and thrilled.
Through chatting with others, she discovered an even more astonishing fact.
Different worlds might exist as stories in other worlds, presented as animations, novels, games, and so on.
This meant that her world could potentially be a character in an animation or novel in someone else's world?
And now, with a newcomer joining, they suddenly uttered words that shocked Ruri Gokou.
It was as if they were saying they knew who she was.
[Golden Toilet: Miss Black Cat?
Golden Toilet: Miss Weirdo?
Golden Toilet: Miss Kuroneko?]
The third address made Ruri Gokou's eyes widen; they indeed knew her.
[Fallen Saint Black Cat: You... you know me?]
Until now, she hadn't told anyone her real name, only letting others call her Black Cat.
[Golden Toilet: It really is you! This chat channel, super-dimensional? Connected to the 'Oreimo' world? This means that different users in the group could be characters from different anime? Interesting]
This almost self-murmuring response showed that the other party quickly accepted and even deduced this point.
However, Black Cat was concerned about what kind of 'work' her world belonged to.
[Fallen Saint Black Cat: Oreimo? What's that?
Golden Toilet: It's a slice-of-life romance novel that was also made into an anime.
Fallen Saint Black Cat: What's the main story? Am I the female lead? Has the work concluded? What was my outcome?]
Ruri Gokou fired off a series of questions, anxiously awaiting the other party's response.
But since it was a slice-of-life romance novel, it meant her world wouldn't face any crisis, right?
