Chapter 1045: Some People Are Just More Advanced, What Can You Do?
"Lowering the room price won't work! I've already said I don't have any salmon, achoo!"
Bohemia had been in countless fights throughout her life and had escaped at the critical moments many times. But the way she was escaping now was a first for her. She had to close her eyes and stumble around like a headless fly in the same spot, not to mention the fact that she had sneezed dozens of times and her face was now covered in snot and tears.
Meowie Hu sat behind a vertical white hotel sign, not feeling very happy.
"Why are you so poor? Three steps to the right, that's it!" It pointed out the objects that Bohemia should avoid, such as guardrails and cliffs, and tried to keep her running in circles on the wide road. "Why are you still sneezing? I've never encountered anyone like you before!"
"It's impossible for me to be allergic to your beautiful fur, ahh," Bohemia didn't finish her sentence before another loud sneeze erupted, causing her to sob with tears and mucus. "Where is that thing?"
Dr. Hu scanned the surroundings, alert with its whiskers standing on end. "I don't know, it's gone. Can't see it."
The places covered by the dirty colors of the chaos would simultaneously experience violent and subtle tremors. However, once it realized that Bohemia had regained her cognitive abilities and immediately closed her eyes, it changed its strategy.
A few minutes ago, it had simply dived into the road surface, and all the tremors ceased. The moonlight, shadows, and cliffs stabilized once again.
Both the human and the cat were on guard, thinking that the thing had given up, when Bohemia suddenly let out a low cry and quickly took two steps back. She lifted her foot and opened her eyes to look. On the sole of her sandal-clad foot, skin and toenails were all rippling intensely, like the surface of a lake during an earthquake. It gradually returned to normal only after she lifted her foot from the ground. She gasped and quickly closed her eyes again, her voice filled with a sob, "It's shaking my skin! I can't feel my left foot anymore!"
Dr. Hu had long darted back into the hotel. It hadn't even had a chance to speak when the voice of that thing struck their nerves again. "Using vision to split your cognition is the most convenient and quickest way, but it's also highly likely to be discovered... My backup plan is to use your sense of touch... It's slower, but the benefits are obvious. Even if you fly into the air, you still have to touch the air."
"Look at it, even though it doesn't have a mouth, it sure talks a lot," the little cat muttered and shouted to Bohemia, "Don't stand in the same place! Run!"
It was impossible for that dirty thing to predict where Bohemia would step next. Even if it wanted to influence her through contact, it would have to wait until she landed her foot. In theory, as long as Bohemia kept changing directions without stopping, the thing wouldn't have time to shake her sense of touch.
"I-I also want to go inside the hotel!"
Bohemia couldn't open her eyes, couldn't run far, couldn't hit anything to avoid wasting time, and had to maintain speed while constantly changing direction. After running unsteadily for a while, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Who told you we don't have salmon."
"You... Can't you change the room price to something else, like a colorful shoelace? I have plenty of those..."
"I can't change it. It's not up to me." Dr. Hu's tail tip swayed back and forth. "As the nominal owner of this hotel, the hotel automatically reads what I want and need as the room price. At most, I can adjust the price to the cheapest tier, reducing the requirements. But it's useless for you. Among the things I want, you don't have a single one, not even a dead person's fingernail!"

At this moment, this "Report to the Board of Directors" was being pressed under the cat's paw. Meowie Hu could read the text clearly without the need for a flashlight. It flipped through the pages while shouting, "Hold on a little longer, let me see if there's another way out."
The answer was no.
Bohemia became increasingly frustrated as she ran in circles. Several times, she almost forgot she was talking to Dr. Hu and let out a few "moms." Running in circles was indeed keeping her away from that mass of chaos for the time being, but it wasn't a long-term solution. Unfortunately, she and Dr. Hu couldn't separate.
After all, one was a headless fly running with closed eyes, and the other was trapped within the encirclement, unable to run for a long time. If they separated, it wouldn't be long before they fell into that mass of chaos.
"If we call Lin Sanjiu, can we use her to cover the room fee?" contemporary romance
"Well, even if that's the case, she won't be able to come in at that time. Do you have any other way? You have a life-saving trick, don't you?" Dr. Hu began to panic and spun around. "Why were you more capable when your cognition was split than after it recovered?"
"That trick was something I had set before I met Lin Sanjiu!" Bohemia closed her eyes and accidentally stepped on a piece of scrap metal, grimacing in pain. "That insurance company charges too much. I could only afford one life-saving trick in the past, let alone now... Ever since I met her, even Higher Consciousness—"
She paused for a moment and slowly opened her eyes. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"What are you doing?" Dr. Hu grew anxious and stood up on its hind legs behind the signboard. "Hurry, walk!"
Bohemia hesitated for a moment and looked around.
"I have a method... maybe it can allow me to see it without being affected." Her voice was soft, and the anxiety and restlessness on her face gradually faded away, as if she was slowly sinking into a dream. "In the garden of the intersecting paths, the appearances of all things in the world are suppressed, and my gaze only exists on the layer where the essence resides. I can look out through the garden..."
Dr. Hu didn't understand a single word; it just stared at her as she closed her eyes again. She stood on the road in the moonlight, like a shadow formed by an accidental stroke of darkness. Aside from the sound of the wind rustling the leaves, clouds, and her own long hair, it felt as if the world had been forgotten for a moment.
Just as it began to suspect whether Bohemia's cognition had split once again, the shadow suddenly moved—
With her eyes still tightly shut, Bohemia leaped into the air like a graceful swallow, twisting and turning. It was as if an invisible force had emerged from somewhere in the void behind the night sky, tearing open this world and causing a gust of wind. Almost at the same time, Dr. Hu heard a cry of surprise coming from the mass of chaos.
