267~ The Little Princess Becomes Aware~
......
......
Several more days passed, and the Little Princess didn't even know how she had gotten through these past few days.
She had already been back for so long, returned from the otherworld for so long. Even if that part of her important memories hadn't recovered yet, she shouldn't be feeling uncomfortable, right?
She didn't know why, but these past few days she had been very unadapted to her current life, as if this kind of life wasn't what she should be living. And she had also been treating the issue with Maid Xiao Xi as if it hadn't happened, but recently it felt increasingly strange.
Since when did her personal maid Xiao Xi so frequently overstep her authority to manage her?
If this were during that period in Scarlet Phoenix Nation, when she was in a somewhat self-destructive state and Maid Xiao Xi interfered this much, constantly overstepping her bounds to supervise her, she might have felt it was normal. But right now, she didn't have any self-destructive appearance, did she?
She had already completely adapted to the modern lifestyle, but Maid Xiao Xi seemed to still be living in the past. Apart from learning to use these electronic products, her thinking felt like it remained stuck in place. This strange feeling lingered in her heart and wouldn't go away.
What she was most unwilling to believe was that the maid Xiao Xi who had been by her side day and night might not be the real Maid Xiao Xi at all, and even the Empress hadn't been able to discover any clues...
She was truly unwilling to believe it, but as time passed, Xiao Xi was becoming less and less like the Xiao Xi she knew.
"Xiao Xi."
"Please give your orders, Princess."
"Help me trim my hair."
"Yes."
"Just style it the way I used to like."
"Yes."
Mo: "..."
No matter what, she felt that Maid Xiao Xi's responses were too mechanical, like pre-programmed answers.
Too strange. This Maid Xiao Xi was definitely not the Maid Xiao Xi she knew. She just didn't know if the Empress would also be like this.
But from what she could see currently, she wasn't. This situation hadn't appeared yet. Perhaps it was because not enough time had passed? After all, by the time she discovered Maid Xiao Xi had problems, quite a while had already gone by. She needed to observe the Empress's side a bit more.
It was just that the Empress had run out now and hadn't returned for two days, having gone directly to a certain island nation to set up a Magic Circle that converted energy into magic power.
If she had to say, solar energy and heat should also count as a type of energy. She didn't know why the Empress looked down on these.
Perhaps that conversion Magic Circle couldn't convert just any energy into magic?
Opening her phone, she scrolled through Bilibili a couple times and found that most of it was content she had seen before. The new content also seemed to be things she knew a bit about. She couldn't help but lament that Bilibili's quality was increasingly going downhill now.
"Princess, I've finished cutting."
"Mm."
She went to the mirror to examine herself. Her jet-black hair that had grown almost to her waist had ultimately been trimmed by a third, and her bangs had been styled as well. It counted as changing her look.
Her previous hair had been way too long, making her quite unaccustomed to it. Getting her hair caught from time to time was truly uncomfortable.
"Xiao Xi, there's another task I want to give you."
"Please tell me, Princess."
"Play some games with me."
She'd just play her favorite game from her past life, CSGO.
Anyway, there were also three computers here, one each for her, the Empress, and Xiao Xi. Playing games wouldn't be a problem.
"Emmm..."
A few days before her death in her past life, wasn't CS2 about to come out? How come it was still CSGO now?
But she didn't pay it much mind. Taking Xiao Xi along, she created an account and immediately entered a match.
In the match, Maid Xiao Xi was completely like a newbie, wandering randomly around the map before getting picked off directly. And she herself, perhaps because she hadn't touched games in a long time, was also like a newbie.
In the end, they received Zaun-style greetings from their teammates.
"Princess, let's stop playing."
Just seeing someone actually dare to scold her Princess made her angry.
They'd better not let her know who it was, and they'd better not run into her in real life, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have a good time!!
"One more match."
Let her experience the feeling from her past life again.
In her past life, she didn't have so much time to play games. Now that she had more time for gaming, she definitely had to play properly.
But before long, she began to feel it was boring and couldn't muster any interest in the game at all.
And throughout the entire match, under her precise calculations, it also began to become simple.
Although she didn't have that exaggerated reaction speed, nor did she have lightning-fast hand speed, she could remember all the pre-aim spots after just a few matches. When peeking out, casually firing a few shots would always land headshots on opponents.
It felt rather meaningless.
After ending the game, the Little Princess sat on the sofa, flipping through modern books and reviewing the knowledge inside. But as she flipped through them, she also discovered something wasn't quite right.
Wasn't this a magic book!? How did it get mixed in with the books she had bought before!?
Yes, a magic book belonging to the otherworld had actually appeared in this pile of modern books, and it was something she had personally bought back.
Who would have known there was actually a magic book mixed in! And wasn't the content exactly what she had seen before?
Since there were already books like this here, why hadn't anyone researched this aspect? Or was it because there was no magic power, so even if they learned the contents of this book, they had no way to apply it?
But very quickly, she overturned her previous thoughts.
Because when she flipped to the end, she discovered that even the signature was exactly the same as the signature on the magic book she had seen.
There was definitely a problem with this!
Tossing the book aside, the Little Princess began to think.
Maid Xiao Xi had problems, the books had problems, the Empress had problems, and many places had numerous unreasonable aspects. This made her start to wonder, was it that this world had problems? Or was this world fundamentally a false world?
After realizing this, she shook her head again.
No, how could that be possible? She wasn't in a dream. Pinching herself hurt, and at the same time, the tactile sensations were completely real. It was also fundamentally impossible for anyone to construct a world almost identical to her past life.
"Knock knock knock..."
As her head ached, a sudden knocking sound pulled her back to reality.
"Xiao Xi, go open the door."
Not knowing if she had noticed that the Little Princess had just withdrawn from a state of high concentration and was currently in a somewhat mentally weakened condition, Maid Xiao Xi very thoughtfully handed her two pieces of chewing gum before going to open the door.
Putting both pieces in her mouth and chewing to relieve the pressure just generated, the visiting figure made her involuntarily grip the armrest of the chair tightly, her eyes staring fixedly.
"Song Siya..."
Why? Why had this person tracked her down?
