Chapter 165 Tomie the Whirlpool Arrives
"Ah Che..."
Jiuzhi Che was surprised for a moment. It was Uzumaki Tomie. He hadn't seen her in a long time.
He didn't seem to care much about her coming in so casually, and handed the shrimp to the little girl Tomie standing next to him, saying, "Put it in the refrigerator."
The little girl Tomie's resentful gaze softened slightly, but she still obediently went.
Her persona in front of A-Che is that of an obedient, well-behaved, and adorable girl, determined to make A-Che inseparable from her, so this persona cannot be broken.
"Tired?"
Jiuzhi Che keenly noticed that Uzumaki Tomie's condition was not as composed as before. She was very tired, so tired that she had to lean on the sofa to stay awake.
He leaned over, and Tomie Uzumaki nuzzled his neck, letting out a sigh: "It's still more comfortable to actually hug someone."
Relying on the appearance, touch, and smell from memory, the feeling is very real, but it can't quench my thirst.
"Now that you're here, you should get some rest."
Jiuzhi Che laid her flat on the sofa. Uzumaki Tomie looked at Jiuzhi Che the whole time, her gaze tender and affectionate.
Slowly, she closed her eyes.
They look really exhausted.
I don't know what big thing they did.
The little girl Tomie took a cucumber out of the refrigerator and started crunching it.
Unlike those imposters, she didn't have skin anxiety; she just thought cucumbers tasted good, so the cucumbers Jiuzhiche bought all ended up in her stomach instead of being applied to her face.
When they reached the sofa, the little girl Tomie was about to turn on the TV when Kyushi Tsutomu looked over.
She stuck out her tongue. "I'll keep my voice down!"
"Go to my room and use my laptop."
"Favoritism towards the giant radish!"
The little girl Tomie ran into the room.
He pounced and landed on the bed.
Ah Che's flavor is so strong.
This is a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.
She was delighted to have a large room, but even if she sneaked over at night, A-Che's door was always locked.
There's no need to guard against her if you're good at it.
She just wanted to sleep; she didn't want to do anything else.
She was naturally aware of the unspoken rules among counterfeiters.
Finally out of that burnt crust, she wanted to absorb as much of his flavor as possible.
I don't know why, but I just really like it.
Unlike those imposters, who are stubborn and refuse to admit it.
No, no, she can't act like a crazy woman.
Loli Tomie patted her cheeks, calmed down for a moment, and then her attention involuntarily shifted slightly to the imposter outside.
The imposter's exhaustion is entirely her own fault!
Well, it was a spectacular fight, Ah Che has no idea yet...
If I knew, would I blame the fake product?
I'm a tiny bit curious.
However, exposing the counterfeit goods would not benefit her; in fact, it was the outcome she wanted to see.
After all, Ah Che does have some special feelings for...
After preparing dinner, Jiuzhi Che called for Uzumaki Tomie to wake up.
Midway through, he also used a healing ball on Uzumaki Tomie. Although she didn't appear to be injured, using one meant that Kyuusei Tetsu didn't lose anything.
Unfortunately, apart from the Healing Ball, the other items cannot be used on other people. Otherwise, if I used the Psychic Ball on Tomie Uzumaki, she would probably feel better.
"Mmm... It's been so long since I've had such a comfortable sleep."
Tomie Uzumaki raised her arms above her head, interlocked her fingers, stretched her waist upwards, revealing a small portion of her fair waist, and then lazily yawned, her whole body relaxed and exuding a sense of ease.
"Wasabi shrimp, stir-fried abalone with pork, steamed clams, finally we got to eat!"
Tomie Uzumaki arrived at the dining table and began eating without any hesitation.
The little girl Tomie pouted and remained silent, only eating dry rice.
Jiuzhi Che didn't ask what happened to Uzumaki Tomie; as long as she was alright, that was good.
Perhaps because they had spent so much time together, he sometimes felt a pang of melancholy when he thought about Tomie and her ilk killing each other outside, wondering how many would die in the next second.
However, his will was already as firm as a rock, and he would not be easily swayed by appearances.
To reiterate, in his view, Tomie and the others are a unified whole. They may seem dead, but they are not. Tomie has always been there and will never perish.
After dinner, Jiu Zhiche put the plates into the dishwasher. Yes, dishwashers already existed in this era. Although they weren't as high-end as in his previous life, they could still do basic cleaning, which was pretty good. At least they freed up his hands.
Otherwise, he might opt for disposable bowls and chopsticks.
"So, how long does A-Che plan to stay?"
Tomie Uzumaki leaned back on the sofa and asked a question.
"Once the dangers of the vortex are confirmed, it would be best if it could be resolved."
However, Jiuzhiche wasn't very confident about this. The vortex world beneath the Dragonfly Pool had already transcended the realm of a simple curse, so purification probably wouldn't be very effective. Direct destruction? Perhaps it wasn't the real world and couldn't be forcibly demolished.
In short, everything is still uncertain.
Besides the vortex problem, when Tetsuro Mukoda died that day, Kyushige Tetsu captured a glimpse of an unknown world through his spiritual sense. His consciousness discovered a terrifying sphere hanging in the sky above.
The colossal object was invisible from a human perspective, but his state at the time was peculiar, similar to observing a two-dimensional object from a three-dimensional perspective, allowing him to perceive its appearance from a macroscopic viewpoint.
Jiuzhiche had only one feeling: it was getting closer.
It's uncertain where it's near, but it's most likely the planet he's currently on.
And that world, the ground is full of small white spheres, could that be the eternal world?
With too many questions swirling in his mind, Jiuzhi Che suppressed his thoughts and turned to ask Uzumaki Tomie, "How's your vortex ability development going?"
Tomie Uzumaki thought for a moment: "It's quite convenient for walking."
With a thought, she conjured a small vortex out of thin air, which lifted the remote control from the coffee table and placed it in her hand.
"A-Che, look at me."
Jiuzhiche did as he was told.
Her eyes were beautiful. If God considered beauty and ugliness when creating humans, she would be the epitome of ultimate beauty, for she was an evil flower born from extreme desire, a bewitching creature that could easily seduce humankind.
But at this moment, Tomie's eyes seemed to shimmer with rings of light, appearing at first glance like flowing water, but upon closer inspection, one couldn't help but be deeply drawn in, wanting only to look at her, to look deeper and deeper...
Jiu Zhiche's expression remained calm throughout.
Tomie Uzumaki cupped his face in her hands. "Can't you just pretend to coax me a little?"
"I have always treated people with sincerity."
Jiuzhiche was very serious.
"Your ability to attract attention can also be considered one of the vortex abilities, and it's even stronger than last time."
He could clearly feel the difference in intensity.
However, 65% immunity is not weak, and coupled with his already extremely high resistance to Tomie, he is completely immune to Tomie's charm.
"Poke~"
The little girl Tomie poked Kyuusei Tetsu's arm with her finger, her dissatisfaction evident: "Look at me, I'm strong too!"
Tomie Uzumaki scoffed lightly, her disdain blatant.
Jiu Zhiche stood up: "I'm not going to chat anymore, I'm going to work."
He was also thinking of browsing the ghost story forums, hoping to find clues about the Apologetic Demon.
One hour later.
Jiuzhiche has finished showering and is now typing away at his keyboard.
"Beep beep~"
"The door wasn't closed."
He didn't even look up.
"Shall we do it?"
Tomie Uzumaki stepped forward and lifted his chin with her fingertips.
The two looked at each other.
A burning fire ignited in Jiu Zhiche's eyes.

On the living room sofa, little Tomie wriggled wildly like a caterpillar, but unfortunately, she was tied up tightly with ropes and could hardly move.
A towel was stuffed into her mouth.
"Mmmmmmmmm~"
