Chapter 92: The Difference Between Humans and Animals

Uesugi Masayo looked back at his wife and the son on the wall, then turned around, displaying a smile that was both tearful and awkward.

"Did everyone hear that?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded and explained, "It was Miss Hoshimi who noticed the problem and then looked up the relevant information."

Hoshimi Rie, with a frosty expression, sneered, "Don’t you know? This villa is bugged inside and out because it’s frequented by spies!"

"..I can explain." Uesugi Masayo nervously said after swallowing hard.

Uesugi Kiyoshi made a welcoming gesture.

"Please!"

"..Kiyoshi, how about treating me as your father? I can offer you fatherly love… If you’re not ready for that, you can call me uncle, that’s fine with me!"

While Uesugi Masayo was still trying to sell himself, his wife couldn’t bear it anymore, and their son on the wall was left with only his bare arms showing.

Uesugi Kiyoka cried out, still holding on, but her efforts were in vain, as her remaining arm was slowly slipping away.

"Honey, come and help me quick!"

"Jiehua, let go fast, or else you will…"

Before Uesugi Masayo could finish speaking, he saw his wife and son’s hands had already merged together, with no gaps between their fingers as if they were one, unable to be separated.

"Ah, my hand!"

Just as Uesugi Kiyoka was about to be sucked in, a member of the action group who had been authorized stepped forward quickly, swung a sharp knife in his hand, and cut off the son’s hand.

Watching his son disappear completely, the freed Uesugi Kiyoka couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, crying uncontrollably, and Uesugi Masayo quickly helped her up, also nodding with gratitude towards Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Thank you, rest assured, Kiyoshi, we will surely become excellent parents in the future!"

"…"

Such shameless behavior made even Uesugi Kiyoshi speechless for a moment.

He calmed down a bit and said. Let’s not talk about that for now. Please explain how this all happened!

…………

Half a year ago, Uesugi Masayo from another dimension was heartlessly fired by the company. As he was about to sell his villa after losing his job, he accidentally discovered a note left by his ancestors while clearing clutter.

Only then did Uesugi Masayo realize that the family villa was actually an entrance to another dimension, and it would automatically open every late night.

With courage, he entered the other dimension and encountered a family who looked exactly like him and had the same job. The only difference was that here, he had not been fired but was about to be promoted to the European branch.

Driven by greed, Uesugi Masayo brought his wife and together they killed his other self in the other dimension, then disposed of the body in their own world. However, as they were dealing with Uesugi Kiyoshi’s body, the minister came knocking and urged him to depart quickly.

Since it was a detached villa with no neighbors or relatives nearby, Uesugi Masayo decided to leave the body in the house. He made a deal with his counterpart’s son over there to wait patiently until things settled here, then he would come get him.

Little did they expect that Uesugi Kiyoshi was not dead and had been rising since the Head Balloon incident. They lived in fear in Europe, worried about each other’s revenge. Even when their son risked coming over illegally, he tried to convince him to go back over the phone, setting another time for a reunion.

Half a year passed, but there was no sign of revenge or contact. Uesugi Masayo speculated that the previous attack may not have killed Uesugi Kiyoshi but caused him to lose his memory. Gathering his courage, he returned to Japan, preparing for another attempt at deceiving the authorities.

"If I dash towards the outer wall of the mansion with determination, can I reach another dimension?", Uesugi Kiyoshi asked, getting to the point.

"Yes," Uesugi Masayo nodded, smiling ingratiatingly, "But our ancestors mentioned that unexpected events may occur in this process, just like mine, that fake Uesugi Kiyoshi guy, he got assimilated by the wall!"

Just then, a chilling sound like insects crawling on the wall was heard, Uesugi Kiyoshi looked up at the mansion and saw his own face up there.

Not only Uesugi Kiyoshi from the other world, but all over the walls of the mansion were bulging human figures, writhing within the walls, their faces of despair clearly visible, their mournful cries echoing continuously, yet unable to break free no matter what.

"It’s sort of gross…"

"You could totally demolish this house, Kiyoshi, or maybe give it to me, I’ll take care of it!" Uesugi Masayo volunteered.

"Thanks, but you guys better stay put in prison!"

After escorting Uesugi Masayo and his wife to the Special Event Research Institute, Uesugi Kiyoshi also got into the returning sedan.

It’s said that good fortune comes when least expected, and with no effort at all, he had been desperately searching for the entrance to another dimension, never realizing it was right at his home!

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn’t worry about the risks of traveling to a different dimension.

The way Uesugi Masayo acted was too rough. It’s important to know that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can invent and use tools.

If a sharp and fast knife is used to cut off the connected part while a person is stuck in a wall after a failed attempt to travel through dimensions, then the person can naturally escape.

Similarly, if a protective device is placed outside a person and it is eroded, the device can quickly detach from the person, and the so-called danger is just a failure.

Uesugi Kiyoshi envisioned a shell similar to a meat ganoderma, filled with enough lubricant and equipped with a spring device on top.

The meat ganoderma hits the wall with an external ejection device. If the path is clear, it will naturally reach a different dimension. However, if the meat ganoderma is constrained or the passage is not open, the passengers inside will experience a reaction force and slide back into this world.

This allows for unlimited trial and error.

Thinking about this, Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn’t help but feel excited, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Are you very sad, Mr. Uesugi?"

Placing his hand on the seat, Uesugi Kiyoshi was surprised as another delicate hand grabbed his, he lifted his head and met Hoshimi Rie’s concerned gaze.

"I can understand how it feels to lose parents."

"Ah, um, no, listen to me…"

"You don’t have to pretend to be strong anymore!" Hoshimi Rie gently held Uesugi Kiyoshi’s head, letting him lean on her, "If you feel like crying, just cry your heart out!"

"Hoshimi Miss!"

Hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi’s muffled cries as his face buried in her chest, she softly patted his back, feeling a surge of affection in her heart.

Mr. Uesugi is, after all, just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child!
