I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Fish, Such a Big Fish!

As I got to know Xiao Mo better, I realized that I had underestimated her level of “rigorousness.”

Sometimes, she even reminded me of the protagonist from “Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious“.

Despite having defeated the most powerful beings in the other world, including great archangel like Gabriel and dragon king like Fei Luo, Xiao Mo still gave off an ordinary vibe.

In the months I spent with her, aside from knowing that she was incredibly strong and had some intricate connection to me, I was almost clueless about her past deeds and what made her powerful.

For example, living with her daily and delving deeply into “gender-related” issues raises many questions.

Is it certain that the hero’s reincarnation would always be male? Could the hero reincarnate as a girl?

If the hero were to be reborn as a girl and grew up with only ordinary education, without any memories, would Xiao Mo still have to spend time “turning” me? Or would I naturally be inclined to like girls? If so, would Xiao Mo’s task be easier?

These questions touch on numerous Philosophical issues, many of which Earth’s “science” cannot explain, much like the abstract nature of magic in the other world.

In the current timeline, the “Diwu” body was prepared by Xiao Mo in advance, and my future as “Diwu” is set.

Assuming the reincarnated gender isn’t fixed, if she met a female reincarnation of the hero on Earth, would Xiao Mo still forcefully transform her into Diwu, or would she live with her until the end of her human life and then reveal everything?

Given Xiao Mo’s meticulous nature, she must have considered this. Does this mean Xiao Mo already knows some of the “reincarnation” rules of the “soul forbidden curse”? For example, does it only allow reincarnation into a being similar to the previous life?

Or even more “terrifyingly intricate,” perhaps the fate of the hero is always the same. The hero of the previous life sacrificed himself to resist the Demon King, inherently a good-natured person. In this life, I also have a good-natured personality.

Maybe one day in the future, I will also die on Earth for some “greater cause.” Xiao Mo might already know of such an existence of “fate,” directly countering natural laws, using soul curses, life curses, space bans, arranging a new body for me, a new life.

And… a new destiny.

In front of the computer, I tried observing Xiao Mo beside me.

“What’s wrong, are you daydreaming again?”

While chatting with Gabriel through video call about Xiao Mo’s possible feelings about “technological development” in the other world, she felt my gaze, reaching out to pat my head.

“Let me guess, are you thinking about how to become my good little pet after going to the other world?”

“No way!”

I swatted her hand away. “I’m thinking, Xiao Mo, do you really intend to bring Earth’s technology… to develop it in the other world?”

I didn’t directly ask Xiao Mo the doubts in my heart.

Because it wasn’t necessary.

Yes, I was curious, but I believed that when the time came, perhaps on a warm afternoon, Xiao Mo would tell those stories herself. There was no need to ask her directly now.

Besides, asking like this would make me seem like “a curious little kitten” who is silly.

“Pfft.”

To my surprise, after hearing my question, Xiao Mo laughed.

“Nuo’er, when you lie, your big eyes keep moving, and the frequency of blinking is different from usual, you know?”

“Huh?”

Damn, I forgot this girl has a telepathic ability similar to mind-reading.

I sighed helplessly in my heart.

Xiao Mo, Gabriel, Fei Luo, these old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, all have similar abilities.

They can sensitively perceive changes in people’s heartbeat, breathing frequency, and various subtle facial expressions around them, thereby inferring the person’s mood, psychological changes, and various emotions.

If I lie, I really can’t hide it from them.

“Although I really wasn’t thinking about that just now, I’m really curious now.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed for being caught, I pointed at the computer camera.

“Creating computers in another world will definitely impact their societal environment and historical development, right?”

Let’s leave it at that. Rules of reincarnation and all the preparations you’ve made, I’m too lazy to ask.

Anyway, it’s just two outcomes.

First, Xiao Mo will either evade the question vaguely or say something domineering like “Little kitty shouldn’t inquire about these matters.”

Second, Xiao Mo will start explaining the rules of the soul curse to me, talking about events over the past few centuries, like whether changing genders is possible, where the souls of the deceased go, and so on. After that, I might come up with new questions.

There’s no way around it. As a writer, my curiosity is indeed very, very heavy.

But sometimes, when dealing with things, you really don’t need to “get to the bottom of it,” this is the experience I have gained over the years.

For example, in some group chats when chatting with everyone, if someone posts a picture of a grizzly bear and says they encountered one abroad and fortunately their companion brought a hunting rifle to scare it away, the curious me from long ago would definitely delve into discussing why they went abroad, why there are bears in that place, and so on.

The topic would go on, possibly digressing to “Can a person fight off a bear barehanded, equivalent to how many grizzly bears,” or even “Are you kidding? Bears aren’t afraid of guns, they just bluff. If you’re so capable, post a few more pictures of you abroad,” and then an argument would ensue.

Nowadays, when faced with such topics, I basically reply with, “That’s a big bear, grr!” Then I continue to happily live my own life.

So even if I’m curious about Xiao Mo’s past, those little details and various rules, I know I shouldn’t pursue them like that.

“Some tools indeed can improve the living environment for some common people.”

Perhaps knowing that I really wasn’t very interested in those thoughts just now, Xiao Mo didn’t continue teasing me either.

“For example, washing machines. Most commoners wash clothes by hand by the river. Those who know a bit of magic use water or wind tornadoes to wash by the water.”

“If we can manufacture tools like washing machines and distribute them to the people, it would greatly enhance the prestige of Nuo’er… uh, Diwu, after all, she has always been living as the legendary queen. Just meeting her would bring a large number of welfare tools. So even the lower-class commoners would support this queen.”

“So does Momo approve of this decision?”

Fei Luo on the computer side looked very happy.

“Then tonight, let’s gather the information we sorted out earlier… Oh right, the character creation data for the game, for Nuo’er and Xiao Mo, has also been sorted out. Su Yunjin also sent a lot of materials for creating bodies over, and we’ll send them to you in the game shortly.”

“Send them over now.”

Xiao Mo got up and walked to another computer. “Nuo’er and I just finished breakfast. We plan to go into the game for a bit.”

“Nuo’er, log into the game!”

“……”
