Once again, Luo En snapped out of his daze.
"What was I supposed to do?"
"Oh, right, I need to drink the Beyonder Potion." The moment Luo En picked up the Beyonder Potion again, he fell into a daze.
"What was I supposed to do?"
"Oh, right, the Beyonder Potion."
… …
… …
"What was I supposed to do?"
"Knock, knock, knock."
Just as Luo En picked up the Beyonder Potion, he heard a knock at the Door.
Luo En was startled back to his senses. He looked at the Orange Cat by his leg and quickly shoved the Orange Cat under the table.
Straightening his expression, Luo En walked to the room Door.
The Door opened fifteen centimeters, revealing half of Luo En's side profile. He saw Mrs. Griffin with a serious expression.
"Mrs. Griffin, I believe I've already paid this month's rent," Luo En spoke first.
"Am I only here to collect rent, little Luo En?"
"Hehe~" Luo En chuckled.
"Of course not. If you want to chat, you're always welcome."
"Have you been going out at night recently? I keep hearing strange noises in the middle of the night."
"Uh, yes, did I disturb you?" Luo En didn't deny it.
At the same time, Luo En also mused to himself that Mrs. Griffin's hearing was too good. Although the soundproofing of this era wasn't great, he swore he had been as quiet as possible when he returned in the early hours of the morning.
Are all elderly people in this world so sharp?
"You know, the public order outside isn't great right now. If something happens to you going out so late, I'll be very troubled."
"I also have a duty to ensure the safety of my tenants, it's written in the rental contract."
'Is that clause really in there?' Luo En scratched his head.
"You go out in the middle of the night…" Mrs. Griffin suddenly thought of something and said in an experienced tone, "Oh~ that's right, you're at that age. It's normal to have those thoughts, but the streets at night are too dangerous. There are many gang members out there. You, a single…"
Luo En's mouth twitched upon hearing this.
What exactly do you think I'm doing out at night?!
"Uh, that, I…" Luo En tried to explain, but Mrs. Griffin gave him no chance.
"I know you're a bit impulsive at this age, but for your own health, you need to exercise restraint. When I was young, I saw many people who couldn't control their lower bodies and ended up dying miserably in bed, their bodies rotting away."
"The Goddess teaches us to… Oh, right, I forgot you're a follower of the God of Steam and Machinery."
It doesn't matter, I'm just a fake believer anyway.
Of course, if the Evernight Goddess's Church offers more benefits to its followers, then I can negotiate. I can also believe in the Evernight Goddess.
Luo En thought to himself.
"In any case, don't go out in the middle of the night. Even if you don't care about yourself, don't disturb my sleep."
"Oh, right, you're a bit strange today."
She glanced at the room blocked by Luo En, looked at Luo En, and left with a light chuckle.
'Strange, she shouldn't have noticed anything, right?'
'She's just an old lady, she shouldn't be that sharp, should she?'
Luo En wasn't too confident in his acting skills.
"Oh, right, what was I going to do just now?"
"Oh, right, the Assassin Beyonder Potion."
"Meow~"
Hearing the cat's meow, Luo En's heart suddenly sank.
"No!" His voice suddenly rose, and he rushed over in two strides.
"Don't drink it!"
His words had no effect. He watched helplessly as the cat's pink tongue lapped up the shimmering silver liquid in the bottle.
"No!"
As Luo En stumbled towards the desk, his knee hit the chair, causing him to lose his balance and fall onto the table, followed by the sound of glass shattering.
When Luo En came back to his senses, what he saw was the shattered glass bottle and the Orange Cat licking the Beyonder Potion on the floor.
"No!"
… … …
… …
"You've caused big trouble, do you know that?" Luo En picked up the Orange Cat and said 'fiercely'.
"Meow?"
"Sigh, why did I suddenly act so foolish? Throughout history, I'm probably the only one who accidentally let an animal drink a Beyonder Potion."
"Such a stupid act, even those rich second-generation heirs who are foolish and have too much money wouldn't do it. It's over, I feel like I'm going to become the shame of all Transmigrators." Luo En muttered to himself, his face full of regret.
"Damn it, go away! Go back to being a stray cat." After saying that, Luo En had an urge to throw the Orange Cat directly out the window.
But as soon as he lifted the Orange Cat, Luo En dismissed the idea, "No, if I throw you away, I'll suffer a complete loss."
"But what about the Beyonder Potion? This should be considered an advance payment from that organization!"
"How about you go join that organization?" Luo En stared at the cat in front of him and said.
The Orange Cat made no move, only stared at Luo En with innocent eyes.
"Sigh!" Luo En slumped into the chair, looking somewhat at a loss.
First, the Assassin Beyonder Potion was gone. If the other party demanded compensation, he couldn't afford that much money right now.
'Perhaps I could sell the Monster Beyonder Potion.'
Luo En thought that he still had a Monster Beyonder Potion, but then he reconsidered. It would be impossible to sell the Beyonder Potion within a day unless the price was far below market value. But in that case, the price difference would definitely be several hundred pounds, and he couldn't make up the difference at all.
From this perspective, selling the Monster Beyonder Potion to fill the hole was simply unrealistic.
Otherwise, he could just tell the Silver-haired Lady the truth. She seemed quite easy to talk to. At worst, he could just compensate her with the Monster Beyonder Potion.
In fact, Luo En had also considered simply hiding and not looking for the Silver-haired Lady. But after careful thought, he found it somewhat unrealistic. Firstly, such behavior itself was a bit dishonest. Secondly, that lady seemed very unusual, most likely a Beyonder. Hiding might not prevent her from finding him, and if it came to that, he would be completely unable to explain himself.
Looking at it this way, actively admitting his mistake became Luo En's most reasonable option now.
"This is the only way." After much deliberation, Luo En decided to proactively find the Silver-haired Lady tomorrow and admit his mistake. At worst, he would compensate her with the Monster Beyonder Potion, and perhaps the matter would pass.
"Phew." With a plan in mind, Luo En suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as he stood up, he felt a familiar sense of daze wash over him, only this time it was clearer, so clear that it seemed etched into his soul.
At the same time, he also felt an boundless fear engulfing him. He saw a scene where he was lying in a pool of blood, and beside him was the Silver-haired Lady. Luo En could even see her sneer.
What is this? A prophecy?
'Fate'
This word suddenly appeared in Luo En's mind.
'Fate? Does that mean if I go to her, I'll die?'
'And what exactly is this scene? A cheat? Or my special ability?'
Luo En paced back and forth in the room, pondering the scene he had just witnessed.
He was somewhat puzzled. Neither he nor his original body had ever encountered such a situation, but subconsciously, he strongly believed in the authenticity of the scene he saw.
After all, as a Transmigrator, it was quite reasonable to have some special abilities.
If the scene was a truly possible future, then the possible scenario was that he would go to apologize to her, and she would simply kill him. As for the Monster Beyonder Potion, if he died, the Monster Beyonder Potion would still be hers.
Upon careful thought, Luo En did indeed recall some unsettling things about the Silver-haired Lady.
Her behavior had a very obvious element of inducement, and he had also felt a strange abnormality before, which might have been a warning from fate.
At the same time, his previous abnormal loss of composure also indirectly confirmed this possibility.
If the Silver-haired Lady wasn't a good person, everything would make sense.
But now, Luo En was in a dilemma: actively seeking her out meant death, and if he ran away and she found him, it would definitely still mean death.
'How about a gamble.' Luo En thought of his Monster Beyonder Potion.
Although 'Monster' doesn't sound pleasant, it sounds quite intimidating. Perhaps it's a very powerful Beyonder Potion.
