The Girl Who Died in the Snow

Chapter 105 The Girl Who Died in the Snow

A certain parallel world.

Cherry blossoms in Tokyo, 2003.

It was snowing season in Tokyo, and a high school girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old was walking home alone with a red umbrella.

The girl was very beautiful, but the melancholy look on her face and the tattered schoolbag showed that she was not living a good life.

This made the beautiful young woman seem more fragile, evoking pity in people.

Because of her low mood, the girl was very absent-minded even when walking.

But fate seems to have a persistent grip on those who suffer. The girl, distracted by her surroundings, slipped and fell down the stairs, which had become slippery due to the snow.

A red umbrella and a tattered schoolbag lay on the steps, and the girl tumbled down the stairs and fainted.

Before she fainted, the girl's last thought was, "I wonder if there is a heaven, and I hope the people in heaven are kinder."

Because of her adoptive parents' favoritism, the girl often went hungry and was already physically weak. On this cold, snowy day, wearing only a thin school uniform, she fainted on the snow.

The consequences were predictable.

The cold snowflakes fell on the girl, gradually covering her figure.

(I feel so sorry for Yuka~)

Narac Space.

Due to the long period of time travel, the originally golden Narac space was transformed by Lan Su using his omnipotent power and the power of creation.

The surrounding area is now filled with more vegetation, streams, flowers, birds, butterflies, and so on.

In the middle of the flower bushes was a small wooden villa, where Lan Su and his two companions usually rested.

The stars that originally represented individual worlds around us have also transformed into fantastical bubbles.

Lansu sat by the stream fishing, and Yaz was keeping him company, occasionally feeding him a peeled piece of fruit.

However, to Lan Su's great dismay, he had been sitting there for almost three hours and hadn't caught a single fish.

He put a lot of fish in there, so this shouldn't be happening.

"Am I an air force veteran?" Lan Su quickly shook his head, dismissing the absolutely impossible idea.

-

"I refuse to believe it!"

Lan Su focused his spiritual energy into the stream and found that the fish ate the bait he had prepared, but refused to bite the hook.

He cried out inwardly, "Damn it! Take the bait!"

Linghua was practicing swordsmanship not far away. According to Linghua, she wanted to become stronger until she could stand beside Lan Su.

Having just finished a round of training, Linghua came to a small table, picked up a towel, and wiped the sweat off her body.

The simple, fitted black sports vest, soaked with Linghua's sweat, perfectly showcased her figure.

Just as she was about to pick up her water glass and take a sip, a bubble floated past her.

Inside the bubble, a girl collapsed helplessly in the snow, surrounded by no one.

Seeing this, Linghua felt a pang of pity and called for Lansu: "Lansu, come quickly!"

Lan Su, who was originally outwitting the fish, was about to secretly use his telekinesis to cheat when he was startled by Ling Hua's call.

"What's wrong, Linghua?"

Lan Su put down his fishing rod and teleported to Linghua's side. Seeing the graceful outline of her upper body, he couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms.

"Hey, stop fooling around, look!" Linghua slapped away Lan Su's mischievous hand and showed him the scene inside the bubble.

"Can we help her?" Linghua looked at Lansu with a questioning gaze.

Lan Su stared at the lonely figure of the girl lying on the snow, his eyes filled with emotion.

He thought to himself, "It can only be said that it's fate that I could run into this."

"As passersby, we cannot arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of other worlds."

Hearing Lan Su's calm words, Linghua felt a slight sense of loss.

"However, it just so happens that I'm the one who doesn't follow the rules, and it just so happens that I also know a bit about the stories of this world."

"Let's go help her."

Lan Su changed the subject and mischievously pinched Linghua's fair and tender face.

Yaz rushed over, not wanting to be left alone in the Narac space.

"Stop, we'll be back soon." Lan Su raised his hand to stop Yaz's savage charge and brought Linghua directly to the world where the girl was.

Linghua gently picked up the girl, while Lansu put away the girl's schoolbag and umbrella.

"It's too cold here, don't catch a cold, let's go back first."

As Lan Su spoke, the two returned to the Narac space.

They took the girl back to the cabin's bathroom, where Yaz had already prepared hot water.

"Ah Su, she doesn't seem to be breathing—"

When Linghua was undressing the girl, she checked her pulse and found that her heart had stopped beating.

This made her feel very sad, after all, a living life had disappeared before her eyes.

Just as Linghua was feeling sad, Lan Su gently kissed her forehead: "My Linghua is so gentle. Don't worry, she's not dead."

"Huh? But she's already—"

"Hehe, Sister Linghua, that girl's vital signs are slowly recovering! However, it seems that something strange has happened to her body."

Az took over Reika's job, wiping the girl's body and using his powers to sense her condition.

"real!"

"Bang!"

Linghua ignored Lan Su and ran into the bathroom, closing the door tightly.

Lan Su smacked his lips, smiled indulgently, and went to the living room to wait for Linghua and Yaz to finish tidying up the girl.

"Oh, right! My fish!"

Lan Su jumped up from the sofa and ran back to the stream while the two were busy.

He secretly glanced back at the direction of the wooden house, then gave the fish in the stream a healthy, grassy smile.

After the two women finished tidying up the girl they had picked up, changed her into Yaz's clothes, and carried her back to bed to rest, they went to Lan Su, who was fishing.

"All done? How's the girl?" At this moment, there were two lively carp in Lan Su's bucket.

"I just gave her a quick wipe down. Yaz detected that the girl is malnourished and has bruises on her body from being beaten."

Linghua sat down next to Lansu with a heavy heart, feeling sorry for the girl's plight.

"However, her body is indeed slowly warming up, and her bodily functions are recovering. What exactly is going on?"

According to Azu, the girl's body was undergoing some kind of evolution, but Linghua didn't quite understand, so she ran out to ask.

Lan Su held Linghua in his arms and said gently, "In the world we have just entered, there exists a creature called the Orphnoch."

"At the time of death, there is a very small chance that a person will awaken as a native Orphnoch, or be transformed into a non-native Orphnoch by having an Orphnoch factor implanted in a native."

"These Orphnochs—"

Lansu explained the origins of the Orphnoch and the girl's situation to Linghua and Az, who arrived a little later.

"Oh, so that means that girl awakened into the original form of Orphnoch that you mentioned, Lord Lan Su, and thus came back to life?"

'

"right."

Lan Su nodded slightly, coughed lightly on purpose, and fiddled with the two carp he had "fished" out of the bucket.

Yaz, understanding dawning on him with admiration and astonishment, exclaimed, "Wow! Lord Lansu is amazing! He actually caught so many fish!"

"Hmph, of course! I was just not feeling well just now."

"Fishing is so easy~" Lan Su said proudly, glancing at Linghua in his arms with a showy air.

"Yes, yes, yes, Asu truly deserves to be called a fishing master."

Knowing that the girl was really alright, Linghua's mood improved, and she praised Lan Su affectionately.

"Haha, of course."

"Let me tell you, fishing is a skill, it takes patience—"

Just as Lan Su and the other two were playfully bickering, the girl lying on the warm bed slowly opened her eyes.
