End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Recuperation After the Crisis
Jeremy had a blissful sleep and didn’t wake up until the afternoon of the following day.

“It’s been ages since I had such a peaceful rest.” Jeremy remarked as he stretched lazily and slowly got out of bed.

Immediately, he noticed a bowl of Spaghetti placed on the bedside table.

Clearly, Emma and Claire had prepared it while he was asleep.

To ensure that Jeremy could enjoy the Spaghetti as soon as he woke up, with the flavor and texture remaining impeccable, they had thoughtfully placed a small heater underneath the bowl.

“How considerate of them.” “I suppose I should spend more time with both of them during this period.”

Jeremy mused with a smile.

He realized that he had been spending too much time in the instance and had somewhat neglected Emma and Claire.

As Jeremy was enjoying his Spaghetti , Emma walked into the room.

Seeing that he was awake, she smiled and said.

“You’re finally up. Claire and I were just worried that you might sleep until evening.”

“How could I sleep until evening? If I did, who would take care of the two of you?”

Jeremy replied, causing a slight blush to appear on Emma’s cheeks.

“Is your body in good shape now?” Emma inquired after a moment of silence.

Jeremy nodded, then shook his head.

“My body is fine, but all my skills have been sealed. I need to find a way to break the seal as soon as possible.”

Jeremy chose not to disclose the grim news that he only had a few months left to live.

He knew that revealing such information would surely devastate Emma.

Despite a hint of worry on her face, Emma continued to believe that Jeremy could overcome any obstacle.

“What can I do to help? Just tell me what you need, and I’ll do it.” Emma offered, eager to assist Jeremy in any way she could.

Despite the dangers she had faced while Jeremy was in the instance, she didn’t blame him.

She believed that her own lack of strength was the real issue.

Emma thought that if she had even a fraction of Jeremy’s power, she wouldn’t have been helpless against Kean.

Thus, she was determined to quickly improve her own abilities to better support Jeremy.

Jeremy looked at Emma with a mixture of surprise and admiration.

He could clearly hear the regret and urgency in her voice. He also sensed her deep guilt for not being able to assist him. Trying to ease her feelings, he quickly said.

“There is indeed something I need you to do.”

“Tell me right away. I’ll make sure to complete whatever task you give me.”

Emma responded, her face lighting up with a determined smile.

“I need you to find Bonnie. She should have also returned to the real world by now. I want to know her current situation.” Jeremy requested.

Emma’s expression froze momentarily at the mention of Bonnie’s name.

A suspicion formed in her mind, Jeremy’s concern for Bonnie seemed unusually intense.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Jeremy asked with a hint of concern upon seeing Emma standing still.

Emma shook her head and quickly left the room.

As she walked into the living room, she encountered Claire.

“Jeremy is awake now. If you want to see him, you should go.” Emma said with a touch of disappointment in her voice.

Claire was puzzled by Emma’s expression.

“What happened? Why do you look so down?”

Emma recounted her conversation with Jeremy to Claire. Claire, too, began to form her own suspicions.

“Regardless of the circumstances, Bonnie must have helped Jeremy in the instance. It’s only natural for him to be concerned about her. We shouldn’t overthink it.”

Claire tried to reassure Emma.Emma nodded in agreement and then left the house.

When Claire entered Jeremy’s room, she smiled and scrutinized him closely.

As his psychologist, Claire was more familiar with Jeremy’s condition than anyone else. She could see that he had largely recovered.

“It seems I no longer need to worry. Your physical condition has significantly improved.” Claire remarked. It was only then that Jeremy noticed her presence in the room.

“You’re right. I’ve almost fully recovered.”

Jeremy affirmed casually. They chatted for a while, discussing the events that had transpired in the real world while Jeremy was in the instance.

“It seems Kean had long planned to target me. It was only because I entered the instance that he couldn’t find me and thus aimed at you instead. The dangers you faced were indeed caused by me.” Jeremy remarked with a hint of regret.

Claire quickly interjected, “This isn’t your fault! Only a scum like Kean would do such a thing. No one else would stoop to such actions.

All the blame lies solely with Kean. You mustn’t blame yourself. What we need to focus on now is seeking revenge against Kean, we must ensure he pays the price!”

Claire harbored deep resentment towards Kean.

Unlike Emma, who had a more straightforward way of thinking, Claire had pieced together the insidious nature of Kean’s actions after the events had unfolded.

Jeremy fully agreed with Claire’s sentiment.

But he also recognized that seeking immediate revenge against Kean would involve numerous complications.

“You’re absolutely right, we must avenge ourselves against him someday. However, I’m not yet at my peak condition, and he’s undoubtedly hiding in the capital.

Do you think we can just storm into the Lannisters’ stronghold in the capital and drag him out to face justice?

The risks are far too high.

Moreover, those who have previously assisted us would certainly oppose such a reckless move.” Jeremy reasoned, maintaining his pragmatic approach.

Though Jeremy was a man who believed in retribution, he was also highly rational. In the current situation, he knew that confronting Kean directly would lead to conflicts with other federal forces. Jeremy needed the support of the federation’s powers at this juncture.

Claire sighed, seemingly resigned to accept Jeremy’s perspective.

“So, what do you think we should do next? Are we just going to sit around and do nothing?”

“Of course not! From what I know, several new instances have appeared around Moonlight City. Our next move should be to tackle these instances.” Jeremy declared with a determined look.

While eating his Spaghetti, Jeremy meticulously formulated his next course of action.

Given that all his skills had been sealed, it was imperative for him to devise a plan to acquire new abilities through an instance. Additionally, within the instance, he might even discover a method to extend his lifespan.

This strategy presented several advantages. On the one hand, the risk was relatively low.

Besides him and his friends, there were also other federal forces in the Moonlight City These forces could provide assistance if Jeremy and his team encountered any danger.

On the other hand, this approach would allow him to further solidify his relationship with Benjamin.

Although Jeremy’s own power was formidable, confronting the Lannisters, who backed Kean, required the support of other powerful factions.

The White Family, which controlled the Federal Intelligence Bureau, was certainly a force strong enough to rival the Lannisters.

Moreover, during his time in the instance, Jeremy’s bond with Bonnie had deepened. He believed that Bonnie would be instrumental in facilitating communication with the White Family.

After patiently listening to Jeremy’s comprehensive strategy, Claire concluded that the likelihood of its success was exceedingly high.

“When do you plan to tackle the instances around Moonlight City? I would like to join you, as I see this as a prime opportunity to enhance my own abilities.” she inquired, her eyes filled with determination.

Like Emma, Claire felt that her skills were somewhat lacking.

If she wished to provide more substantial assistance to Jeremy, she needed to significantly elevate her own strength.

Jeremy, having savored the last bite of his Spaghetti, promptly responded, “It’s getting quite late today, and I still need to meet with Bonnie. So, let’s plan to handle the instances around the capital tomorrow.

You can also use the remaining time today to make thorough preparations. Considering that my skills have been sealed, should we encounter any dangers within the instance, you won’t be able to rely entirely on my assistance.” Jeremy warned, his voice imbued with a note of caution.

Claire nodded firmly, her determination clear in her eyes.

“Alright then, I’ll go back right now to get ready.” She declared, choosing to leave without further ado.

Not long after Claire had departed, the phone by Jeremy’s bedside rang abruptly, slicing through the quiet room.

Upon answering, he immediately recognized Bonnie’s voice on the other end, laced with a mix of urgency and concern.

“I hope we can meet as soon as possible. Emma has filled me in on your situation. If your condition allows, I would like to see you at my home this evening.” Bonnie conveyed, her words imbued with a sense of immediacy.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jeremy responded, “Absolutely, no problem at all. I’ll set off right away!” His voice was resolute, reflecting his readiness to spring into action.
