Chapter 225: The Protagonist

Calming his mind, Luo Jie took a deep breath and prepared to try the spacetime traversal function.

But he didn’t rush to activate it; instead, he first used the Celestial Computer to analyze the spacetime traversal function.

The Celestial Computer’s processing speed was astonishing, delivering a complete answer in less than a second.

Of course, this also had to do with the minimal amount of data involved.

The spacetime traversal function was indeed related to spacetime technology, but it heavily depended on spacetime tunnels.

This function didn’t allow direct spacetime travel—it required entering a spacetime tunnel first, then using the tunnel to traverse.

After analyzing it, Luo Jie found he could still enter the spacetime tunnel using a wormhole.

But in a world without a spacetime tunnel, the function was useless.

The result matched what Luo Jie had guessed, but hearing the exact answer still left him with a small sense of disappointment.

Luo Jie turned to the girl in front of him and said, “Silly Girl, stay here and watch the house.”

The Silly Girl responded dumbly, “Alright, Brother Luo Jie.”

Before the words had even faded, a wormhole appeared before Luo Jie.

He stepped into it and emerged above the city.

“Activate surveillance mode.”

Luo Jie gave the order.

Instantly, several high-definition screens unfolded, scanning the city in all directions.

Luo Jie planned to test the spacetime traversal function.

But before playing around, he needed to take care of Bull Demon King first.

This guy was the source of all evil in the Magic Phone world.

The mastermind had to be dealt with first.

Soon, Luo Jie located his target.

A black Mercedes caught his attention.

Just as in the original story, after following Silly Girl and Huang Mei into the modern world, Bull Demon King had become the emblem on Fan Zong’s Mercedes.

Luo Jie immediately summoned a wormhole and passed straight through.

The next moment, he appeared in front of the Mercedes.

The driver inside screamed in terror, frantically jerking the steering wheel to avoid this sudden apparition.

Luo Jie reached out and grabbed for the emblem.

The emblem, as if coming alive, detached from the car and tried to flee.

Luo Jie sneered.

Try to run?

A wormhole appeared directly in the emblem’s escape path.

The emblem fell straight into it.

Luo Jie stepped into it and vanished.

The driver and Fan Zong stared at the scene before them, eyes wide, mouths agape as if they could swallow an egg, utterly stunned.

The next moment, Luo Jie appeared high above.

The fleeing emblem began to reshape, quickly transforming into the bulky, muscular form of Bull Demon King.

“Who are Itachi, daring to seize your Bull Grandpa?”

Luo Jie stared coldly at him and activated the restraint function.

Instantly, Bull Demon King realized in horror that all his magical power had been completely suppressed.

“What did Itachi do to me? Release me, Great King!”

He thrashed wildly, but to no avail.

Luo Jie ignored his shouting and directly activated the memory erase program, swiftly wiping his memories.

Since he possessed all of Silly Girl’s data, rather than using a function transfer,

Luo Jie didn’t have to worry about restrictions from illegal operations.

After dealing with Bull Demon King, Luo Jie grabbed him and activated the spacetime traversal function.

The next moment, Luo Jie and Bull Demon King plunged into the spacetime tunnel.

Along both sides of this tunnel, countless light points flowed through, each seemingly representing a spacetime node.

“Interesting.”

Luo Jie looked around.

“Naturally formed spacetime tunnel?”

“This world’s structure is truly bizarre.”

Luo Jie immediately called up the Celestial Computer and fully analyzed the surrounding data.

If he could crack the formation principle of the spacetime tunnel, perhaps he could artificially create similar passages.

Then, his counterparts from other worlds could also perform spacetime traversal.

Not long after, Luo Jie grew discouraged.

His attempt had failed.

With his current Celestial Computer’s processing power, he couldn’t decipher the spacetime tunnel’s structure.

He’d have to wait until his counterpart from the Super God world upgraded the Celestial Computer.

But at least one thing was confirmed.

The spacetime tunnel was indeed natural—not made by some bored idiot.

Then, Luo Jie slung the unconscious Bull Demon King over his shoulder and teleported him back to his original spacetime node.

After handling Bull Demon King, Luo Jie activated spacetime traversal again and returned to the modern era.

The next second, he appeared in a dim alley.

A girl’s cry for help came from nearby.

“Robbery! Help!”

“Does anyone have any mercy?”

A strange sense of déjà vu washed over him.

Luo Jie stopped and browsed his memories.

Oh, his counterpart from the Urban Dragon King world kept encountering this exact situation.

Was the protagonist aura kicking in?

Or was this just an ordinary robbery?

Thinking of this, Luo Jie stepped out of the alley.

A short distance away, three hooligans surrounded a girl, who clutched her handbag tightly, face pale with fear.

Luo Jie recognized the unlucky victim.

“Akatsuki Chuchu.”

In the original story, Akatsuki Chuchu was robbed by three hooligans the moment she appeared; Lu Xiaoqian rushed to help and got beaten to a pulp, making him the most pathetic protagonist ever.

And now…

Was he taking over Lu Xiaoqian’s protagonist role?

Thinking of this, Luo Jie glanced around.

Lu Xiaoqian wasn’t anywhere nearby.

It seemed the protagonist aura was truly active.

Luo Jie sauntered lazily toward the three hooligans.

“Kid, Itachi looking for death?”

The scar-faced ringleader flicked open a switchblade.

Luo Jie acted as if he hadn’t heard, suddenly appearing behind him and delivering a precise knife-hand strike to his neck.

The scarred man didn’t even have time to scream before collapsing.

“Huh?”

The other two hooligans were frozen in shock by this sudden turn.

Luo Jie had no patience for them—he lunged toward the hooligan on the left.

The hooligan snapped out of it and swung his fist at Luo Jie.

Luo Jie sidestepped, seized his wrist with five fingers like claws, and twisted slightly.

The sound of cracking bones was unmistakable.

The hooligan let out a pig-like shriek, collapsed to his knees clutching his wrist, tears and snot streaming down his face.

The last hooligan, seeing things turn bad, turned to flee.

Luo Jie snorted and appeared instantly before him, driving his knee hard into the man’s abdomen.

With a dull thud, the hooligan curled into a ball, vomiting blood-tinged bile from his mouth.

The entire process was clean, efficient—under five seconds.

Akatsuki Chuchu stood frozen, staring at the sudden stranger before her, eyes wide with shock.

“Th-thank Itachi…”

She stammered out.

Rojie waved his hand, stacking the three fallen thugs to one side and clapping his hands: “All set. Next time Itachi run into something like this, call the police.”

With that, he turned to walk away, ready to leave.

“Wait!”

Akatsuki Chuchu suddenly called out to him loudly, hesitated for a long moment, as if summoning immense courage, then whispered: “Um… could I have your phone number?”

“I… I want to thank Itachi.”

Her face was flushed bright red.

Rojie suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

Isn’t this just the daily life of the Nascent Soul Rojie?

So this is the power of the protagonist’s aura?

How terrifying!
