The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Quality Difference

The car raced down the road. To be honest, Yu Yi had no idea where to go. The Timehound could only bring non-game items with it, so he couldn’t bring Lilice along with him.

“Wahhh, I’m so hungry…”

Lying on the back seat of the car, Lilice hugged her stomach and rolled around without restraint.

She just ate loads for dinner! Now, she was hungry again…

“Put up with it for a while, there’s nowhere for us to eat here. Hm, let’s go there.”

Yu Yi looked at the couple’s hotel before them. Meantime, he would leave Lilice there.

“Wow! What do you want to do?! I’m telling you. Although it’s my first time out, I know what that place is!”

You… aren’t you one to flatter yourself…

“You’re going in to hide. I’ll dispose of the car. Hmph, what trouble! Why am I even helping you in the first place?”

That said, Yu Yi knew that Lilice was probably the only NPC who was able to trigger the plot. He would’ve lost all control over his actions if he hadn’t helped her.

He used his ID card to check-in and left the room under Lilice’s watchful gaze.

“KP, Inspect.”

[. rd = 60/60. Success]

[There are no followers. You are lucky.]

Okay, no followers. They were safe for the moment. He got back into the taxi and stepped hard on the accelerator. Although there were no followers, he still needed to be careful. It was probably best to dispose of the car. Yu Yi was quite clear that the car was under the surveillance of the police.

However, since the timeline was 2055, he didn’t have to worry about the power source of the car. They had used the car for the entire day, but the car had only lost one bar of energy.

Just as Yu Yi was looking for a suitable place to dispose of the car, sirens blared behind him. All of a sudden, a few police cars had appeared.

“Hmm? Have you come to chase me again? Goodbye!”

He clasped his left hand. Together with the taxi, Yu Yi disappeared from the police’s view into thin air, without a single trace. The police cars made an emergency stop on the spot. The stunned policemen got off their cars to inspect the place where Yu Yi vanished and reported the event to their superiors.

Yu Yi didn’t return to the modern era. Instead, he moved back along the previous timeline. On a night two years ago, Yu Yi appeared on the streets. He drove towards the riverside.

[. rd = 100/75, Luck check, Massive Failure]

“????”

Yu Yi felt a strange gaze as he leaped out of the car. He couldn’t breathe, as though something heavy was crushing him. It was almost like an irresistible force had been imposed onto his body.

[Willpower check! Pass..]

The heavy pressure on Yu Yi’s body didn’t disappear even though his willpower check had passed. It could have been due to the Massive Failure. The enormous pressure caused Yu Yi to lose control of his hands and feet. The car crashed through the barriers and plunged into the river. The huge impact made Yu Yi dizzy. However, the feeling of chaos and fear did not disappear. As Yu Yi sank into the icy river, a strangely malicious feeling crept up his spine.

After a while, the feeling of being gazed by evil disappeared. As the car sank downwards, Yu Yi gasped. “Yogg… What a swine… You just had to choose this timing to appear, didn’t you?.”

Suddenly, all of the screens on Yu Yi’s car displayed [?????].

[You… Please take care…]

The KP’s tone was filled with malice and schadenfreude.

All of a sudden, the KP’s hidden dice rattled. The shitty KP’s hidden dice roll had stressed Yu Yi even more.

“Boss, are you trying to kill me?”

He pushed the door open and swam towards the riverbank. The pressure finally diminished as Yu Yi clambered onto land. Oh my, he was almost frightened to death!

[Oh? Yogg didn’t show his hand? I see that’s why.]

Seeing that Yu Yi hadn’t been destroyed by the soap bubble, the KP looked considerably disappointed. In all the plots Yu Yi had played, he came closest to tearing his card at this moment.

“Are you not going to explain why there was a luck check?”

Clambering up the riverbank, Yu Yi looked at the shitty KP as he walked ashore.

[Hm… Wasn’t this in the item description for the Timehound? Every time you use it, there is a 10% chance of triggering a negative effect. You could either be caught by the Hound or you could be seen by Yogg. The longer the jump in the timeline, the higher the chance. It’s just like a lucky draw. There’s a 10% chance of getting an SR! As for the luck check, a pass is equivalent to a standard ‘SR’ where the enemy only passes by and looks at you. As for a failed luck check… Congratulations, that would be ‘SSR’! Simply put, the enemies are interested in you to a certain extent. A Massive Failure on the other hand would be a ‘UR’. You should be thankful that Yogg was triggered instead of the Hound. Otherwise, you would be chased.]

So I should be thankful for something like this!

[I finally know why that KP gave this item to you. After all, the first kill reward of the Hound is pretty high, so he gave the most interesting item to you.]

Indeed, it was the most interesting… Its effect was powerful, but the negative effects were equally troublesome. If he was looked at by Yogg in battle, he would surely die a painful death.

While the Timehound effect was still active, Yu Yi got back on the streets and hailed down a car. He pointed his Lover at the driver’s head and forced him out of the car. Yu Yi then extorted the driver for his wallet. After doing all these, he knocked the driver out and left him on the sidewalk. Yu Yi drove to a 24-hour convenience store and bought a bunch of stuff.

“KP, can I buy clothes here?”

[It’s nighttime… Never mind, here are some casual clothes for you as a gift.]

After buying a set of clean clothes, he returned to the car and changed. He stuffed the dirty clothes into the trunk and started the car.

“I’ve used up a bit of magic after all.” Yu Yi had lost three magic points after doing everything. However, for half an hour of work, he had certainly done a lot. 13 out of 16 points of magic left. However, since he had the Tai Sword with him, he didn’t have to worry about running out of magic. He could always use a few innocent sacrificial offerings to restore his magic. Of course. Normal people would die after a single slash. Hopefully, he would meet some mythical creatures before he exhausted his magic.

He started the Timehound and jumped back onto the timeline he had left. He sped to the couple’s hotel. He was lucky. Lilice was sitting obediently in the room, awaiting Yu Yi’s return.

“Everything’s done. Let’s go, we’ll have a meal.”

Although Yu Yi had changed his clothes, Lilice remained trustful of Yu Yi.

“Yu Xing, you aren’t a normal person, are you?”

She looked at Yu Yi curiously as she followed Yu Yi onto the car.

“Once again, let me introduce myself. I come from the mysterious east and possess mysterious eastern powers. I’m a detective,” said Yu Yi, smiling as he drove. “Also, you aren’t a normal person either, are you?”

Although he had passed neither anthropology nor psychology, Yu Yi was sure that the girl sitting behind him was no ordinary person. After all, no ordinary person could be under the pursuit of two different powers, with both being afraid to harm her. Obviously, she came from a substantial background.
