Chapter 473 473: Otherworld Teleportation
"Then... we come to that matter."
Alain turned off the TV, his serious gaze sweeping over everyone around him.
The maidens nodded in unison, their steps light and slow as they gathered closer.
Misha spoke up, "Yang Wanhua... she hasn't made any moves even now... As expected, is she plotting something?"
Alain shook his head. "That woman usually acts on emotion. I estimate that me bringing up the breakup was too big of a blow to her.
"Plus... in her eyes, 'we'—this group of digital lifeforms—are probably just like stones by the roadside. She views us as something already in her pocket...
"Therefore, Yang Wanhua likely believes there is no need to rush."
Alain was halfway through his sentence when he noticed the confused and somewhat strange looks from the Mitas.
"...What?"
"Uh... I just feel like you know our greatest enemy so well..." Cool Mita crossed her arms. "Ineplicably, there are many things I want to retort to, but I don't know where to start."
"That can't be helped, right? You don't know how I used to live with her... Sigh, let's not talk about it."
Just as Alain's voice fell, a click came from the doorway, the sound of the door opening drifting over.
"I heard your conversation the moment I walked in." Monika walked over gracefully.
She closed the door and took a seat as well. "I'm guessing... you want to discuss the matter of Yang Wanhua?"
"Correct." Alain did not deny it. "Although the Mitas have settled down in the Dream World now, Yang Wanhua is still watching from the shadows..."
"The Sword of Damocles," Monika said, her words prophetic.
She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and added a sentence, "It's about time, too."
"?"
The maidens and Alain looked at each other in dismay.
He looked at Monika's smug face. "Your desire for control has been satisfied, so now you've turned into a riddler?"
"Hehe~ Solving riddles is always better than letting you ruin your body by indulging in lust, right?"
"Cut the crap, I like lust," Alain answered without hesitation.
Monika leaned against the wall with her hands behind her back. "Alright, when I said 'about time,' I meant the time is about right."
She smiled.
"Based on my understanding of Yang Wanhua, after experiencing such significant hurt from you, and after taking a moment to recover, she will inevitably prepare her final measure."
"You mean—"
Misha's eyes went wide as she spoke, "Yang Wanhua is going to pull Alain's consciousness back to reality?"
"Exactly. As for what happens after..." Monika stopped halfway, and Alain took over the conversation.
"After pulling my consciousness back to reality, she will definitely want to do one of two possibilities to me.
"First, pull my consciousness back into my physical body in reality. Then, I should begin that life of confinement once again.
"Second, separate my consciousness from the Mita World and cast it into some other digital world.
"Of course, regardless of the result..."
Alain's gaze was heavy as he looked around at everyone.
"Yang Wanhua will definitely destroy the Mita World with her own hands for me to see. She wants to make me suffer, and she will inevitably make you all feel despair as well.
"Note that the Mita World I'm referring to includes both the Game World and Mita City."
Millie raised her hand. "But, does Yang Wanhua have a way to find Mita City? Our link with the Game World is broken; she shouldn't be able to trace the vine to find the melon..."
As Millie spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller.
"You're saying..."
With a whoosh, a system panel appeared in front of Alain.
"Eh? I feel like someone is calling me." 2D Mita seemed to have taken a nap, looking around with sleepy, bleary eyes.
Alain ignored this disappointing paper-thin girl and nodded solemnly toward the Mitas, including Millie.
"Yang Wanhua will likely follow the Unknown Port, directly tracing the vine to the melon, and figure out the coordinates of Mita City, thereby launching another invasion against us."
Alain walked to the balcony, looking down at the park below where the Mita maidens were laughing and chatting joyously.
There was no barrier between the Mitas from the Game World and the Mitas of the City; everyone had integrated together in peace, with no visible difference at all.
The happiness hanging on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts.
"And everything we have done will become a useless effort."
"Then..." Miluo raised her small hand. "Should we disconnect the link between the Unknown Port and Big Sister Yang Wanhua's side?"
"Miluo, there's no need for you to be so polite to her," Misha laughed. "Of course, disconnecting isn't a bad solution, but..."
The maiden turned her head to look at Alain. "It treats the symptoms but not the root cause."
"Correct." Alain did not deny the worst-case possibility. "Even if disconnected, Yang Wanhua will inevitably use other methods unknown to us... exhausting all her power just to find us here.
"You must not forget, she is a Yandere through and through.
"When it comes to matters of 'feelings,' that is her standard of conduct.
"She would abandon all costs just to find me and inflict the most painful suffering upon everyone.
"She—is just that kind of person."
Mina commented noncommittally, "She really is too bad!"
"..." Alain didn't know what to say; Yang Wanhua's personality was actually very similar to the original Crazy Mita.
Although the current Mina was no longer like that, hearing her say this sentence felt like there were many points to roast...
But whatever.
Alain relaxed his mind.
After stating the threat, it was time for the solution.
He looked at 2D Mita inside the popup window.
"Little Fool, can we actively go through the Unknown Port to Yang Wanhua's side?"
According to Alain's thinking, taking the initiative—that was his style.
Rather than leaving the initiative in Yang Wanhua's hands, it was better for him to follow the Unknown Port himself and head directly to her mansion in reality.
Then, cut the weeds and dig up the roots. Sever all possible sources of trouble.
"Hey! Who are you calling a fool! Clearly, in the very beginning, you called me 'Little Cutie' with every breath, so affectionately, and now..."
2D Mita expressed strong protest against the disparity in treatment, but she also understood the business at hand.
"It's a pity, but an active attack won't work.
"Even though the decryption progress of the Unknown Port has reached 100%, the other side of the port is still in a closed state.
"Only by waiting for Yang Wanhua's side to actively open the port can we head to her location."
Seeing everyone's eyes sink, she smiled and shook her finger again.
"However, as long as she opens the port, then the initiative falls completely into our hands.
"We follow the Unknown Port all the way forward, and then bypass the final landing point set by Yang Wanhua. We can find a vessel that can accommodate us.
"In this way, we can take action in reality."
Alain nodded.
What 2D Mita meant was that the endpoint of Yang Wanhua's Unknown Port was either another digital world or Alain's physical body in reality.
For these two places, the initiative was definitely in Yang Wanhua's hands.
But after the Unknown Port opens, Alain could follow it, and before reaching the destination selected by Yang Wanhua, choose to bypass the endpoint, thereby selecting a reality vessel where he has the advantage.
As for what the so-called "vessel" is...
Alain looked at Monika. "Is there any easy-to-use electronic equipment in Yang Wanhua's home?"
Feeling that wasn't rigorous enough, he added a sentence, "The kind that can kill people."
According to what Monika had said previously, Yang Wanhua's home was full of smart home devices that digital lifeforms could possess.
This point was a necessary option Alain could use to his advantage, and the only path for Alain to cut the weeds and dig up the roots.
"Hmm... You've asked a good question."
Hearing this, Monika thought for a while...
"A robot vacuum?"
"6."
Alain could imagine the scene:
Suppose one minute later, Yang Wanhua opens the Unknown Port to transmit his consciousness to reality.
And at the final moment before Alain reaches reality, he bypasses the destination set by Yang Wanhua,
Then possesses the body of a robot vacuum.
Thereby launching a pursuit of Yang Wanhua...
Just imagine, his rapidly spinning propeller dust brushes launching a bloody slaughter against Yang Wanhua's neck...
Leaving aside whether it could be a "bloody slaughter," Alain suspected that even if the robot vacuum chased for a lifetime, it wouldn't catch up to Yang Wanhua's foot speed.
And before catching up to Yang Wanhua, Alain estimated he would have to eat a mouthful of dust...
Dust with the flavor of Yang Wanhua?
Truly disgusting.
"Regarding your proposal, I really thank you so much."
Alain's 'kind' smile made Monika twitch her lips.
"After all, who would buy smart home devices that carry dangerous properties?"
"Alright, just tell me if there's any equipment that can let me manifest a body normally."
"There actually is." Monika lifted her fingertip, smiling mysteriously. "I told you before, that thing is... the Projection Unit.
"A device capable of projecting the body of a digital lifeform at equal scale to a reality creature.
"Furthermore, Yang Wanhua used some unknown technical power to allow the projected creature to possess the ability to influence reality to a certain extent."
"For example?" Alain planned to bully her.
"The reality Projection Unit adopts an advanced pneumatic feedback system. By precisely controlling the intensity and direction of the airflow through the projection disc, it can even allow a digital lifeform in the real world to hold up a cup of coffee... It also uses an ultrasonic array for tactile feedback, generating touch through sound pressure. Hehe... amazing, right?" Monika answered irrelevantly.
"I just want to know, why did she give you a sense of touch?" Alain bullied her again.
Monika flew into a rage. "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, okay? Making coffee... is that enough? She gave me a sense of touch so I could make coffee! Cleaning up, cooking for her!
"Didn't you guess all of this? If you guessed it, don't ask! Hmph~"
"Good." Alain accepted her scolding, feeling comfortable.
"Since there is a way to act in reality, then... all that's left is for Yang Wanhua to open the Unknown Port."
"Mhm. That is exactly what I wanted to say coming back this time." Monika snapped her fingers with a pa sound.
In an instant, a window appeared.
Inside the window, Yang Wanhua was sitting in front of a computer... Coincidentally, pressing down on the Enter key.
