Chapter 1107 One Of Those Crazy People
Lux felt something wet touch his cheek, prompting him to open his eyes.
For a brief moment, he was unable to move his body as if he was experiencing sleep paralysis.
Although he couldn’t move, he was able to see the source of the wetness he was feeling on his cheek, and he didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
A little dog, who looked very much like a French Bulldog, was licking his cheeks as if it was made of ice cream.
However, it didn’t take long for Lux to realize that something wasn’t right.
There were no French Bulldogs or any type of dogs in Solais and Elysium.
In fact, one could even say that “man’s best friend” didn’t exist in those two worlds, so the Half-Elf couldn’t help but wonder if he was dreaming or not.
Suddenly, a voice that reminded the Half-Elf of a soft summer breeze reached his ears.
As if a healing spell landed on his body, his paralysis disappeared, allowing him to move.
Freed from his shackles, Lux propped himself up to a seating position and lightly patted the French Bulldog, who had generously lathered his cheeks with its saliva earlier.
However, when he gazed in the direction where the voice came from, his body eased up as he saw a familiar person walking toward him.
“Aina, how did you grow to be so tall?” Lux asked.
The girl approaching him looked at him with a frown before picking up the leash of her pet, who had run away when she wasn’t paying any attention.
“I’m sorry, but my name is not Aina,” the young lady replied. “You might have mistaken me for someone else. Also, did my dog perhaps assault you? Are you hurt somewhere? I’m terribly sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings. Before I knew it, Peanut had already run away.”
Lux blinked once then twice as he carefully observed the young lady in front of him, who seemed to be in her early twenties.
She was wearing a white dress and a white hat, which made her look like an angel that had descended from the heavens to guide his soul to the Cycle of Reincarnation.
At that moment, the Half-Elf recalled his battle against Daniel, making his body break out from his daze.
“Did I die?” Lux asked the young lady in front of him.
“Oh, no! I’m terribly sorry!” The young lady immediately took out her phone and dialed an emergency hotline. “Hello? This is an emergency. Can you please send an Ambulance to Greenbelt Park? My dog crashed into someone, and he seemed to have injured his hea—mphh!”
Lux casually pressed the button to end the call and let go of the young lady as soon as he could.
“I’m sorry,” Lux apologized. “I’m alright. I’m just a bit disoriented.”
After saying those words, he looked around to gain a better understanding of his surroundings.
He heard the young lady, who looked like Aina, say that they were in Greenbelt Park, which sounded familiar and unfamiliar to him at the same time.
The French Bulldog, who was named Peanut, started to bark at Lux as if he wasn’t happy with the way the stranger treated his Master.
Fortunately, his owner calmed him down, allowing Lux to organize his thoughts.
“I’m sorry, I have mistaken you for someone I know,” Lux apologized. “Can you answer some of my questions?”
“Well, I can. But can you answer my question first?” the young lady asked back. “Are you a cosplayer?”
“I’m not,” Lux replied. “Wait, did you just say cosplay? Is this Earth?”
The young lady took a few steps back because she was starting to think that Lux was one of those crazy people that her manager had warned her about.
Seeing her reaction, Lux immediately took a step back in order to not scare her or anything.
“I’m not a suspicious person,” Lux stated.
“That’s what all suspicious people say,” the young lady replied.
Lux scratched his head because he didn’t have a rebuttal for her words. However, there was a nagging question that he had wanted to ask the moment he saw the young lady, who looked like Aina.
“Are you perhaps, Luna?” Lux asked.
“You’ve got the wrong person,” the young lady replied as she immediately walked away, dragging Peanut with her.
The Half-Elf didn’t know what was going on. But, if what he was thinking was right, then he needed to take a leap of faith, and that was what he did.
He ran toward the young lady and grabbed her hand.
“Please wait,” Lux said. “Just answer a few of my questions, and I’ll leave you alone.”
“Let go of me, or I’ll call the cops.” the young lady struggled.
Peanut growled at him, ready to pounce at any time.
“Look, I’m sorry,” Lux released his hold of the young lady and raised both of his hands in surrender. “I’m still disoriented because your pet crashed into me. I think I hit my head hard on the ground.”
After hearing his reply, the young lady looked at him with concern.
She didn’t see everything, but when she finally caught up to Peanut, he saw him licking the body of the young man, who was sprawled on the ground.
Peanut, on the other hand, looked at the Half-Elf as if saying, “Bro, don’t do me dirty.”
The Half-Elf didn’t want to play the victim card, but this was the only thing he could think of in order to make the young lady lower her guard.
“…I think I have amnesia,” Lux said after half a minute. “Can you please tell me what the date is today? Also, what is the name of this city and country?”
This was the only thing that he could think of to make the questions he wanted to ask not sound as crazy as they originally would be.
“Today? It’s December 12, 2023,” the young lady replied. “Where in K-City, in Z Country.”
“2023…,” Lux muttered. “K-City in Z Country.”
All of his doubts earlier had been confirmed by the young lady’s answer. This was the same city and the same country where he lived back on Earth.
Also, if his memory serves him right, it had already been six years since he had died and transmigrated into the world of Solais.
