Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: My Jiyai

Huh?

Su Jiyai blinked.

She wanted to ensure that she wasn’t hearing things.

Did…did the black robe man say…my Jiyai?

My Jiyai…

My Jiyai…

The two words echoed in her mind.

Suddenly Su Jiyai had a bold guess.

What if…what if the Qin Feng she had seen before wasn’t the real Qin Feng…and the Qin Feng she was seeing now was the true Qin Feng?

“Meow!” Su Jiyai nodded her head frantically. She hurriedly leaped toward the black robe man.

With her sharp eyes, she was able to glance at the photo frame and her heart skipped a beat.

In the photo, a young lady about 18 years old was smiling widely. Her beautiful blueberry pie color hair was left open and her closed eyes showed how happy she was.

Brother Qin!

The only person who could have her photo was Brother Qin!

[Ding! Danger Detected! The host’s identity may be exposed! Necessary measures have been initiated! The host will be teleported back to the base.]

‘No!’ Su Jiyai shouted.

The next second she found herself back in her base’s underground area.

“System! System teleport me back! That was my Brother Qin! He was alive! Please! Please teleport me back! You haven’t seen how poorly he was living!

Even his skin was charred! Please! Please teleport back!” Su Jiyai shouted.

Remembering the look of disappointment, Su Jiyai felt a lump in her throat.

Her Brother Qin never gave up on her…he still remembers her…he still

But…how did he end up like that?

The charred skin…the hoarse voice.

Su Jiyai only felt her heart aching.

“System teleport me now!”

[Sorry host I can’t-]

However Su Jiyai wasn’t going to listen to the system’s words at all, she said in a cold tone,

“It’s up to you. Either you teleport me back to that place or I will give up on everything.”

[Warning! Warning! Host emotional fluctuation reaching dangerous levels! Please calm down host.]

“No! I am doing everything for my Brother Qin! If you can’t bring me back to my Brother Qin I will leave everything behind!” Su Jiyai truly wasn’t able to think properly.

Her mind was filled with the pitiful image of her Brother Qin.

[Host I am only trying to ensure you don’t fall in any trap. Host your identity…]

“I know! I know! My identity can’t be exposed! My identity as a landlord can’t be exposed, right? But my other identity can be used, right? I am still Su Jiyai!

If I use my Su Jiyai’s identity, everything will be fine, right? System, I promise not to disclose any details! I will not tell him about my landlord’s identity.

Please! Please teleport me back!”

The system hesitated for a moment, weighing the risks, before responding:

[Host, your current emotional state is unstable, but I will allow a brief teleportation under strict monitoring. However, I must remind you that exposing too much, even as Su Jiyai, could lead to unforeseen consequences.]

Su Jiyai barely registered the warning, her mind solely focused on her charred and disheartened Brother Qin.

“Do it now!”

With a blinding flash, Su Jiyai found herself back in the dingy room where the black-robed man—her Brother Qin—sat, staring blankly at the photo frame.

For a moment, she froze.

But to confirm her guess, Su Jiyai tapped the black robe man’s leg again, this time a bit urgently.

The black robe man looked at Su Jiyai and showed a surprised expression,

“Huh? You are back? Do you have teleportation power? How did you vanish suddenly?”

Su Jiyai didn’t answer and jumped on his knees. With her paws, she tapped the photo frame.

“You want to know about her?” The black robe man asked in surprise.

Su Jiyai nodded.

The black robe man paused for a few seconds before smiling,

“She is Su Jiyai. My lover.”

Just these two sentences were enough to moisten Su Jiyai’s eyes.

The black robe man was busy staring at the photo and hence didn’t see Su Jiyai’s moistened eyes.

“I am her home. She proposed to me at our last meeting. But maybe I took too long to answer, she left.

But don’t worry I will find her. I promised to give her an answer.”

Su Jiyai asked the system,

“System can you check who the person in front of me is…”

[Just give me a few minutes host…

Detecting…

Result Found!]

[Name: Qin Feng

Identity: Ex-captain of the Willow Base. ??.

Superpower Level: 10

Superpower Grade: SSS]

Su Jiyai ignored all the details. The only detail that mattered to her was…Qin Feng.

To make Qin Feng realize, she was still alive, Su Jiyai decided to give some hints to Qin Feng.

She hurriedly tapped on the photo with her and then tapped herself.

Qin Feng stared at Su Jiyai’s persistent tapping. He furrowed his brow, confused but intrigued by the cat’s odd behavior.

The way she pointed to the photo and then to herself was almost human-like in its urgency.

For a moment, his heart raced with a thought he dared not fully embrace.

“You…what are you trying to say?” Qin Feng muttered, his voice low and hesitant, as if afraid of the answer he might get.

Su Jiyai continued tapping her chest with her paw, her eyes wide with hope, trying to communicate the impossible.

Qin Feng studied the cat, then glanced back at the photo frame in his hand.

“It can’t be…” he whispered, almost to himself. His hand trembled slightly as he set the photo frame down. “You…know her? Or…was she…your…master?”

Su Jiyai:”…” Brother Qin…on normal days you are so smart but why can’t you understand me now?

Su Jiyai, growing increasingly frustrated, let out a loud meow and tapped the photo again, more forcefully this time.

She pointed to herself with more force, trying to make Qin Feng connect the dots.

Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed as he watched the cat’s actions, his confusion deepening.

“Wait… you’re saying… you’re connected to her? But how? She’s gone, she—”

Su Jiyai couldn’t take it anymore.

With a determined meow, she jumped onto the photo frame and used her paw to mimic the motion of a person pointing at themselves.

She then stood up tall on her hind legs, imitating the stance of a human as best as her small cat form could allow.

Qin Feng blinked in astonishment.

“No…” he whispered, stepping back slightly. “That can’t be… You’re… Jiyai?”

Su Jiyai meowed loudly in response, nodding as much as a cat could, her eyes locking onto his, pleading for him to finally understand.

Qin Feng’s breath hitched.

His beautiful blue eyes shone brightly.

The regret, the pain, the longing, the loneliness, and the sadness which he had suppressed with a lot of difficulty suddenly emerged.

“Jiyai?”

Su Jiyai nodded.

“You are truly Jiyai! My Jiyai!” Qin Feng’s eyes turned teary.

The countless nights which he had spent sitting under the starry sky and tears in his eyes started to flash.

For a moment, he felt all the suffering he had endured till now was worth it.

His hands trembled as he reached out toward her, still unable to fully grasp what he was witnessing.

“But how…? How is this possible? Jiyai, if that’s really you… how… did this happen?”

Su Jiyai gave a small, soft meow, looking up at him with eyes filled with emotion.

She wished she could explain, tell him everything—about the system, about the transformation, about the unimaginable journey she had been on—but she was trapped in this form, her words lost to her.

[Host, remember you can’t tell him about your identity.]

“Yeah! I know!” Su Jiyai ignored the system.

Qin Feng knelt down, his face pale with shock. “Jiyai… I…”

He felt a lump in his throat and couldn’t explain how he was feeling.

“I thought I lost you forever. I… looked for you. Everywhere.”

Su Jiyai’s blinked. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t cry! Jiyai! My Jiyai! Don’t cry please!” Qin Feng begged and hurriedly her.

Su Jiyai sobbed even more.

She could tell Qin Feng how much she missed him. How heartbroken she was when Qin Feng’s duplicate or whatever it was…told everyone that he would never accept her even if she returned.

She thought…she had lost her happiness.

She thought she was too late again!

God knows how much grateful she was when she knew that, that duplicate wasn’t her real Qin Feng.

Maybe..maybe the life wasn’t as bad as it seems…maybe she wasn’t late this time.

Thinking so Su Jiyai snuggled closer toward Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was thrilled.

However…

The soft touch of Su Jiyai’s fur against his charred skin, made Qi Feng feel a bit unconscious.

He couldn’t help but look at his black charred skin and feel he wasn’t worth Su Jiyai anymore…

He was disfigured and can never recover…

How could Su Jiyai live with a disfigured person like him?
