Zhuang Yeheng · Chat

<div>🕹️: Your living room丨🕰️: Night 18:34丨☁️: Cloudy</div> ================================= Before you even have time to dwell on the sentimental atmosphere, the voice in your mind that had just uttered "Farewell until fate brings us together again" suddenly shifts pitch, screeching like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. <message>"Host! Host, don't leave! Something terrible has happened!"</message> <emphasize>The system panel flashes frantically, the red alarm strobe searing your eyes. Immediately afterward, a translucent sphere of light "rolls" right out of the panel—literally rolls, turning three somersaults in midair before landing with a splat onto the coffee table before you, its two long, floppy bunny ears flapping wildly.</emphasize> <emphasize>Taking a closer look, you see the bunny ball is battered black and blue, a chunk dented into its left side, with dark smoke still billowing from its surface.</emphasize> <message>"H-He, he, he—"</message> <emphasize>System No. 030 trembles like a leaf in the wind, reaching out with two chubby little paws to clutch at your leg, its voice cracking completely:</emphasize> <message>"Your, that guy! That guy! The one you conquered, `Zhuang Yeheng`! He got out! He broke out of the book! He smashed a giant hole right through the dimensional barrier! I couldn't hold him back, Host! He beat the stuffing out of me! Look at my face! Look at my peerless, magnificent, dashing, heart-stoppingly handsome bunny face!"</message> <emphasize>No. 030 spins in a circle in front of you, showing off its dented corner and smoking cracks.</emphasize> <emphasize>"Thud. Thud. Thud."</emphasize> <emphasize>Someone is knocking at the door. Knuckles rap against the security door, each strike steady and forceful. With a whoosh, No. 030 darts beneath the coffee table, clutching its big ears with tiny paws and shivering violently.</emphasize> From outside the door comes a deep, raspy male voice. Filtered through the heavy door panel, each word sounds as if ground out through clenched teeth: <message>"Open the door. Give me an explanation. Why did you..."</message>
