Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Reached
Somewhere in the empty void of space, a lot of shining globes are floating and rotating around each other. These globes are known as proper universes in sci-fi terms, while immortal civilization calls them the lower worlds.
These uncountable lower worlds or universes are rotating on a predestined path under each immortal domain, or higher dimensions in sci-fi terms.
Inside one of the universes, a lot of clusters and superclusters are rotating around each other, carrying uncountable galaxies inside them.
They are uncountable because, each moment, millions of star systems and galaxies are destroyed and then created again from the same matter scattered through the universe.
"In such a galaxy and star system, there is a small blue planet with creatures like us who think we are knowers of everything and assume aliens will invade us like this; aliens would invade like that, which is an irony in itself."
"This is the true face of our human race. We can't accept the simple truth that our planet is a spec of dust as compared to the whole universe, or even smaller than a dust particle; we are creatures that no one pays attention to.
No alien capable enough to roam freely in the universe would invade a speck of dust like our planet." An astronomy professor was giving a lecture standing on the stage, looking at the young male and female students.
While students were listening patiently, some were whispering lazily, and others were looking around boringly.
There is a quiet girl among them who is listening attentively. She is very different from the other classmates around her; she has an eastern appearance with an oval face, a dark pupil with a dual dark bang hanging around her cheeks, and she wears glasses, which makes her more intellectual and responsible.
Soon the lecture was over, the professor left the class, and some students started packing their bags in order to exit the class, while others stayed in class operating their electronic devices.
"Tang Xin, let's go have lunch with us." A female classmate said she was looking at the eastern girl with glasses, sitting beside her.
Tang Xin was startled, adjusted her glasses, and shook her head. She replied, "Olivia, I am not hungry; you can go eat."
"Well, then give me a little money; I am tight in my pocket right now." Olivia spoke with a begging expression; she is a western female with stylish blonde hair.
Tang Xin was startled upon hearing Olivia's request, thinking of something, then shaking her head and replying appologitically, "I am sorry, Olivia; I can't lend you money anymore; I have to pay a loan."
Olivia, startled by her rejection, turned and glanced at another female classmate standing behind them. She winked and gestured with her eyes playfully. The female classmate behind her understood her gesture.
'Why is she asking for money again? I just gave it to her yesterday, and the day before, I had other expenses. If she is really in need of money, she should do a part-time job like me.' Tang Xin thought to herself,
Instantly, she felt something turn around, looking at another female classmate backed away with a penguin purse in her hand.
Tang Xin's expression became anxious. She hurriedly stood up and said, raising her hand, "Give me my purse back."
"Who wants to keep your lame purse? You have such a weird taste." The female classmate said, strangely, that she threw the purse in Olivia's direction.
Olivia caught it and smiled, playfully opening the purse. "Oh, thank you so much, Tang Xin; you are a lifesaver." She spoke happily, grabbed the cash bills inside, and threw the empty purse back on the table in front of Tang Xin, amidst her confused and disbelieving expression.
"Don't worry, Tang Xin; as always, I will return your money." Olivia spoke with a smug smile and put the cash away after counting.
"He he he, Olivia, she finally realized her mistake of sitting beside a witch like you." Another female classmate said she was standing behind Olivia with a crossed arm, looking at Tang Xin with a playful smile.
"Hey, watch your tongue; if I am a witch, then you are a b**ch." Olivia replied playfully, looking at the female classmate who called her witch, then smirked and walked away amidst her annoyed expression and the laughter of her other female classmates.
Tang Xin gazed at their backs, realized she was targeted by a school bully, and then glanced at other classmates in the classroom, seeing everyone ignoring her and doing their own thing. She glanced at the table silently, picked up her small penguin purse, raised her head, and glanced in the direction of the door.
Tang Xin felt extremely grievous in her heart, then, after a while, her expression became firm, and she walked outside toward the disciplinary office in order to complain about Olivia and other classmates.
...
Soon, Olivia and others were summoned to the disciplinary office.
"I haven't bullied her; you can ask them to testify; she is lying and accusing us. Also, I haven't taken any money from her; you can ask anyone in the class for proof." Olivia justified herself by acting innocent and confused, and other female classmates beside her also nodded and acknowledged her justification.
Tang Xin was startled, looking at them in disbelief. It's just her second week at this new institute and campus. She has been giving them money from the past few days, and they also took her money today forcefully. Now that they are denying it so shamelessly, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
One of the middle-aged discipline committee staff glanced at Olivia, and Tang Xin instantly realized what happened; his expression sank, and anger appeared on his face.
He then turned and glanced at Tang Xin and said solemnly, "Miss Tang Xin, you can go. I assure you, such a thing won't happen again, and you will also receive your payment back, which they took from you."
Everyone around was surprised, and while Olivia's expression sank, gloom and jealousy flashed through her heart.
Tang Xin glanced at the staff, then nodded and left the office, leaving Olivia and others behind.
"Miss Olivia, we know you are a repeat student. We also know about your previous year's misconduct; please refrain from such behavior again and don't spoil your parents and our institute's reputation, or we will take strict measures against you.
Now go and return the amount you took from your classmate, or I will have to call your parents on this matter." The middle-aged disciplinary member said solemnly, while others around him hesitated because of Olivia's background but fell silent and didn't say anything.
After a while,
Olivia left the disciplined office and appeared outside with a gloomy expression. 'Damn b**ch, I just took a few hundred; why cry on such little money? I would have thrown it in her face in the next few days.'
"Well, we have to teach someone a lesson," Olivia said, suppressing her gloom. Her expression became cold and angry, and other classmates around her were startled. She glanced at her, backed away a little, hesitated, and then didn't say anything.
Only one female classmate among them smiled playfully, looking at Olivia's angry expression. 'This witch is annoyed; next someone is going to live in hell,'
...
On the other hand,
Somewhere in the corner of a city, inside an empty building,
A figure materialized inside a room; first it was a virtual afterimage, then blurred and reverted to a real person.
"I have reached." Lin Lee opened his eyes, looking at the his own empty room.
Instantaneously, his face changed, feeling the rejection in the atmosphere, as if the next moment he would be exiled outside the lower world.
The beads in his mind shook.
Decieve the heavens!!!
Instantly, the rejection disappeared. Lin Lee sighed in relief became thoughtful, looking at the empty room. 'It seems that without proper measures, no one can invade other lower worlds or universes; the heavens will reject and exile the invaders, which is fair enough or everyone would invade other universes.'
"There is no heaven and earth aura in this civilization. Well anyway, it doesn't matter; I have nanobots, and this universe is filled with star energy; aura gathering is not a problem for me," Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, looking at the sunlight and plazma falling inside the room through the window.
Also, there are a lot of different types of plazma in the earth that are easily convertible into any kind of energy.
"Why is my room empty? Where is my stuff? It seems, she must have stored it away." Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, looking at the empty room, then walked toward the room door.
'Huh, it's locked.' Lin Lee thought, then rotated the lock and opened the door. He walked outside, looking at the empty apartment without any furniture. His brow furrowed more, and he muttered confused, "Why isn't she living in this apartment? Our parents left us this apartment after their deaths."
