As the old saying goes, "The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother."

But when he came to Crane, his sister, who was six years younger than him, was like an overly worried old mother, who tirelessly told Crane over and over again before going out to school.

"Crane, did you spill the lamp oil last night......

"Crane, you're about to interview......"

"Crane, you'll have to go buy some rye bread later, remember, it's only eight pounds......"

Zhou Mingrui dared to swear that Melissa repeated every sentence at least three times!

After getting his "sister" Melissa Lake out of the door, Zhou Mingrui immediately shifted his attention to the "transfer ceremony" and his idea of trying to "reverse crossing".

Although he did have a feeling of seeing his own sister to Melissa due to the influence of Crane's memories, he still wanted to return to his original world more than the fetters of this feeling.

He opened the cupboard and saw a corner of it, rye bread on a plate.

There are only three left.

Three, it's not enough, I still have to go out and buy it...... Zhou Mingrui pursed the corners of his lips silently, remembering the location of the money from the family.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, under the ventilation window, there is a small cabinet with some consumables.

In addition to this, there is also a ledger that briefly records daily expenses.

All of Benson's savings are in the ledger.

Zhou Mingrui opened the account book and saw that there were about seven or eight banknotes with dark green and white colors, of which four were in the denomination of five sole, and the rest were one sul.

"On June 28, take 2 soles and buy food."

After adding a line according to the format, he pulled out two bills with the scent of surging ink, changed his clothes and went out.

At the intersection of Iron Cross Street and Daffodil Street, there is a town square, where tents have been erected and clowns dressed in quirky and funny clothes are handing out leaflets.

Fate is so wonderful, although he changed his address, Zhou Mingrui still met the female animal trainer wearing a pointed hat and oil paint on her face, pretending to be a soothsayer, and invited him to do free tarot divination.

Tarot divination is not derived from the seven orthodox gods, nor is it a relic of antiquity, but was invented more than 170 years ago by Russell Gustav, then consul of the Republic of Intis.

Thinking of Russell's experience and achievements, Zhou Mingrui was very suspicious that he was a senior time-traveler.

Although the divination was eventually interrupted by the real soothsayer, he saw the "Fool" card, which was numbered "0", and depicted a young man in gorgeous clothes, wearing a colorful headdress, carrying a cane on his shoulder, with luggage hanging from the cane, and a dog pulling behind him.

At the same time, Zhou Mingrui also confirmed that the tarot divination here is basically the same as the one he studied before crossing over.

But such a small episode could not affect his determination to "reverse cross".

After returning home with the food he bought, Zhou Mingrui began to prepare for the "transfer ceremony".

After placing the rye bread in the four corners of his room, he went to the center of the room, and calmed down for a few minutes, and then walked solemnly and counterclockwise.

As a first step, he whispered:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable."

In the second step, he sincerely and silently recited:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun."

In the third step, Zhou Mingrui held his breath and whispered:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang God."

In the fourth step, he exhaled turbid breath and said silently:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."

After returning to his position, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and waited for the result in place, with expectations, uneasiness, hope, and panic in his heart.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to stop flowing, becoming viscous and eerie.

Immediately after, his ears rang with whispers that were sometimes fine, sometimes sharp, sometimes illusory, sometimes seductive, sometimes manic, sometimes crazy.

Obviously he couldn't understand what this murmur was saying, but Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but listen and distinguish.

This made him feel like his head was about to burst, and even began to laugh at himself, "If you don't die, you won't die", the countless noisy and overlapping murmurs subsided, and the surroundings became very quiet, and the atmosphere was quite erratic.

Zhou Mingrui opened his eyes and found himself floating on the edge of an endless gray mist.

The gray mist flowed like water, dotted with crimson "stars", some of them were large, some were small, some were hidden in the depths, and some were floating on the surface.

Looking at this hologram-like scene, Zhou Mingrui stretched out his right hand half confused and half exploratory, trying to touch a crimson "star" floating on the surface on the right side, looking for a way to leave.

As soon as his fingers touched the surface of the star, water streaks suddenly poured out of his body, causing a "crimson" to erupt, like a dreamy firework.

Zhou Mingrui was startled, his right hand was withdrawn in a panic, and he accidentally touched another "crimson".

As a result, this "star" also shines brightly.

Zhou Mingrui only felt that his head was empty and his spirit was sluggish.

……

On the Sea of Sunia, a three-masted galleon, clearly ahead of its time, is sailing through a storm.

Alger. Wilson stood on the deck, his body undulating with the bumps, easily maintaining his balance.

He wore a robe embroidered with lightning patterns, and held a strangely shaped glass bottle in his hand, which sometimes bubbled, sometimes frost gathered into snow, and sometimes there were traces of wind.

"It's still a ...... of ghost shark blood," Alger whispered.

At that moment, a crimson erupted between the glass bottle and his palm, and in an instant, it flooded the surroundings.

……

Tdelis, Republic of Intis.

Conston in Rune, Intis in Delis, and St. Milon in Vrsac are all large cities on the coast of the Sea.

Although they are not as big as the three major cities of Beckland, Trier, and Fenerport, they are not small in size, and there are many medium-sized cities around, which makes the coast of the sea the most economically developed and populous region in the northern continent.

In the port district of Telis, in a townhouse.

Pierrot Colt sat at his desk, flipping through a thick tome with his right hand and unconsciously fiddling with an ornament on the table with his left hand.

It was a nautical compass slightly larger than the palm of the hand, and the copper casing was engraved with an ancient pattern decoration.

Pierrot took a sip of the coffee on the table, and was about to turn the next page when the nautical compass he was fiddling with suddenly burst into a crimson light, directly enveloping him completely.

……

Above the gray mist, Alger looked around in disbelief.

Soon, he found that there was a man with a hazy head and a hazy figure near him.

Immediately after, they noticed a mysterious man standing not far away, shrouded in a gray mist.

"Mystery man" Zhou Mingrui was also dumbfounded.

"What do you want to do?"

"Your Excellency, where is this?"

Alger and Pierrot were stunned for a moment, then fell silent, and then spoke in unison.
