"Is today really X year, X month, X day?" Lu Wu asked again in disbelief.

"yes. The salesperson in the mall replied casually.

Although it is a shopping mall in a foreign country, it is really nice to meet Chinese speakers. Lu Wu had to admit that when he heard the first sentence in Chinese (although it was not very authentic and a little blunt), he almost felt that his tears were about to flow.

In fact, Lu Wu was mentally prepared for his return from time travel. In fact, the trip was not in his original plan at all. If it weren't for the curse that Kecha Goat had placed on him, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the Atlas for that long. Unlike other time-travelers, he has a ticket that allows him to travel freely between two different worlds. If there is no way back, perhaps a person can slowly accept the fact that he has entered the new world and regard it as his second home. But if there is a convenient way to return, how can a normal person easily give up the environment in which he was born and raised in terms of thoughts and concepts, and "make another country his hometown"?

So naturally, the sequelae of this crossing are very large.

If nothing else, the first thing to face is the problem of going back. The power of this badge is to put people back and forth in the same place. This means that the place where Lu Wu came back is exactly the room he was in the hotel before.

Specifically, it is a medium-sized inn that provides accommodation for foreign tourists. For those in Southeast Asia that are heavily traveling, it's no surprise that there are so many of them. On the other hand, these hotels are not strictly managed, and the waiters at the front desk are lazy and lazy. There are no special circumstances, and they don't care about the comings and goings of guests. Anyway, as long as the room fee is sufficient, it's really not a big deal.

But Lu Wu has been to the Otherworld for too long. In fact, according to his own calculations (which are not very accurate, but the error should not be too large), he has been in the foreign land for far more than a year. Although he paid for the room for a while, he really didn't expect it to drag on for so long. This means that under normal circumstances, when he returns to Earth, the first thing he sees should be a traveler living in a room. And this strange traveler found that an unknown young man appeared inexplicably around him (and even found that he appeared inexplicably, but watched his specific crossing process), then it is estimated that it will cause a small storm.

If the time of return is at night, and the new travelers sleep in it, then the power of the storm will be increased several times. Of course, it can be said that since Amber is around, then you can use magic to solve the problem. But in this sudden situation after the crossing, the warlock cannot guarantee that all the problems will be solved.

Of course, this was only the smallest of the many troubles he faced. Because Lu Wu can at least look forward to having no other travelers in his former room. The other problem is much more serious...... That's when his visa expired.

He came here to apply for a tourist visa - of course, this is also the most rational choice, at that time he did not expect that there would be a sudden intervention of Kecha Goat. But now it is estimated that Lu Wu thinks so, no matter from which point of view, his visa should have expired. Of course, Amber doesn't have this problem, she really can't hide it in Holoera, but Lu Wu can't hide.

Visa expiration is a hassle, even a bit dangerous. The official term is called "illegal presence". Although Lu Wu doesn't have much experience going abroad, he has never eaten pork, at least he has seen a pig walk. The modern earth is so well connected that he has long known what the consequences of "illegal stay" will be – with the possibility of fines, detention or deportation.

Squatting in a foreign country...... I don't think anyone would want to do that.

But to his surprise, when he came back, he was surprised to find out...... Only two months have passed on Earth. His visa hasn't expired yet!

It was incredible, but it was true, because he found that some of the luggage he had left in his room (including some changes of clothes and other bits and pieces) was still there. As a matter of common sense, if a traveler never looks back, then when the time comes, it is only natural that the hotel staff will put away the things left by the guest, thus vacating the room for new guests.

Because of this, Lu Wu deliberately looked at the TV in the hotel and the free newspapers in the hotel. He was surprised to discover the fact that he hadn't been away for too long in terms of Earth's time.

Contrary to Lu Wu's surprise, though, Amber's situation wasn't so good—but it was already expected. Although it is also a time travel, when she travels from Earth to Wago, she goes from an area that limits her magic power (according to Amber and the Master, the rules of Earth are strict and have a strong suppression of the magic power of warlocks) to an area where there is no limit to magic power, so she doesn't show anything special. But from Wago to Earth, she is going from an area with no magic restrictions to an area with limited magic power. Unlike entering from outside the walls of the world, there is no gradual adaptation process, so Amber's response is a bit greater than expected.

Or, to put it another way, the first thing Amber does when she's sure she's safe is to hide in the Holoera to rest, or rather to hibernate for a while.

As for Lu Wu, he went to do the most important job - hurry up and buy a new mobile phone.

His original mobile phone had always been with him, but unfortunately the master had been clinging to his mobile phone, so he had to put his mobile phone in the throne at that time. Of course, this has no impact on life in another world, because the main means of information exchange there is a terminal (Lu Wu can't figure out how the world without ionosphere transmits wireless signals), so it doesn't matter if the mobile phone doesn't have it. But in this world, if modern people don't have mobile phones, it's basically the same as being blind and deaf and not carrying a wallet.

Speaking of which, this situation really has a feeling of punching in the air, and it feels like it's fluttering. When a person is mentally prepared to face a predicament, and then finds that the so-called predicament does not exist at all, in addition to a sigh of relief, there is a little bit of loss.

However, although it is a bit strange to say this, at this moment, after returning to Earth, the main feeling in my heart is not happiness, let alone relief, but a little panic.

Located in the city of earthlings, stepping on the hardened concrete pavement, watching the cars coming and going, and the pedestrians with oriental characteristics on the sidewalks (of course, there are also a small number of white western tourists) walking around, I feel not the "relief" I originally thought, but disbelief. Inexplicably, I'm worried about whether I've had a dream, or if I'm simply nervous and crazy, so I have that incredible memory.

Finding a mobile phone store in the city is not a difficult thing to do. Even if I didn't have a map, and I was in a foreign country where I didn't understand the language, it didn't take much time. And the bank cards around me can still be used, probably because the other world has not encountered any degaussing environment at all. Of course, it was more fortunate that the salesperson did not know whether he was Chinese or had studied Chinese, so there was no difficulty in communicating.

Lu Wu bought a mobile phone with the exact same model as before - as mentioned earlier, Lu Wu's mobile phone was obtained by lottery a year ago, which can be regarded as trendy. Even now, it's not outdated, so it's easy to buy. And it's not clear what the psychology is, Lu Wu bought a mobile phone with the same color and appearance as before.

It must be explained that before leaving the throne, or before putting the master in, Lu Wu had already taken out the mobile phone card, and at this moment, he directly put it in and activated the mobile phone.

"Master, I think it......" When the phone was on the boot screen, Lu Wu subconsciously said a word. Only then did he realize that the master was not by his side at all.

The change of the mobile phone screen made me feel inexplicably at a loss. Is it all too familiar to have such an invisible friend by my side to help with ideas?

"By the way, sir, is that your dog?" the salesman's voice interrupted Lu Wu's thoughts. Looking in the direction she pointed, Lu Wu saw that the dog named Dumb was squatting at the door of the mobile phone store, or rather, on the street outside the door, staring at this rather bustling commercial street.

From the earthlings' point of view, it is a dog in that sense. But at this moment, the dog clearly showed a lonely look - I can't tell what's going on, if I can see the lonely expression on a dog's face, I guess no one will believe it. But that's just the way it is.

Dumb turned his face and looked at Lu Wu, his lonely expression replaced with a disdainful gaze.

Speaking of which, maybe Dumb came too suddenly, and the red clothes were so inexplicable that he stuffed the dog at the last moment before he left. Or maybe it's the effect of some supernatural ability, in short, the moment he saw Dumb, Lu Wu remembered that this time it wasn't just himself and Amber who came back, but a third life.

Although both the master and the red coat have emphasized, it is not a dog at all, but an unknown creature with a high intelligence, and it is more likely to live in the sea of ether, and is born with strong physical strength and mysterious supernatural abilities. But let's be honest, it's really too much like a dog. It was at this moment that Lu Wu could really feel that it was not a dog. Dogs, even the wisest of sheepdogs, would never have such expressions.

Hongyi said that it can heal diseases and injuries - maybe it only heals injuries, but it can't cure diseases, anyway, Lu Wu hasn't tried it. But why did it appear here? Lu Wu clearly remembered that when he went out to buy a mobile phone, he was alone.

Facing Dumb's eyes like this, Lu Wu had a very inexplicable intuition, that is, Dumb seemed to want to tell him something. It's just that it doesn't have the ability of a warlock or a master to telepathize, and it doesn't have the complex vocal structure of humans. Whatever it wanted to say, at least it didn't say anything.

Eventually, Dumb tilted his head away with a disdainful expression.

Hey, what's going on with this condescending attitude?

Lu Wu walked towards Dumb, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person rushing towards this side.

It was not a deliberate move, it should be said that he originally planned to rush through the door of this mobile phone store, but Lu Wu walked out of the door so coincidentally and appeared right in front of him.

Everything was too sudden, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the man was running so fast that there was no possibility of avoiding it. However, unlike Lu Wu, who was caught off guard by the sudden encounter, the other party ran away with his eyes staring at the front. Even if it's too late to stop or avoid, at least the body reacts instinctively. He reached out and grabbed Lu Wu's shoulder, intending to take advantage of the momentum and move towards the side. In this way, he was able to avoid a head-on impact and run past him. As for Lu Wu, he was dragged so suddenly that he could only staggered out of the sidewalk.

In the driveway, a bus was being stepped on the gas pedal and whizzing at a speed of fifty or sixty yards.
