To Arrange Without Care

Chapter 12

The toilet was so dark that she couldn't even see her fingers in front of her. Because the light was broken, no one wanted to come in and fix it. The faucet in the corner was not turned on properly, and water was dripping down.

Tonight, the moon outside the window was covered by dark clouds, and everything seemed to be filled with the atmosphere of horror stories.

However, Gamma Ceti was not only unmoved, but also wanted to solve her personal hygiene problem as soon as possible.

You know, she used to be a person who had seen countless horror movies, so this small case was nothing to her!

She sighed and wanted to open the first toilet, but unexpectedly, it was locked from the inside.

Gamma Ceti:???

Helplessly, she walked to the door of the second toilet and found that the floor inside was dirty, with dust and footprints. It looked like it was shouting, "Don't step on me, bastard!"

As for the last toilet, it was full of junk, mop, toilet cleaner, and so on. Not to mention going to the toilet, it was difficult to even squeeze in.

"Okay, okay."

Gamma Ceti muttered to herself and walked into the third toilet, which was relatively clean and looked like it could still be used.

She went in and locked the door, then tested the flush switch. After confirming that it could be used normally, she began to go to the toilet.

Some people would always be whimsical when they go to the toilet. For example, a certain writer called Ah Tian liked to think about new plots in the toilet. His ideas were overflowing, but he couldn't think of a word in front of the computer. He was simply a waste.

Gamma Ceti was similar. While she was busy taking out tissues, she thought, "Speaking of which, why is there such a dirty toilet in Aomori?

You know, the whole of Japan believes that "tidiness and cleanliness is beauty"!

Any public toilet on the road will not be as dirty as this one. It looks like no one took care of it for a long time … Wait, take care of it?

No one came for a long time?

For a second, the fearless brat felt that the surrounding air seemed to have changed, as if it had become sticky and cold — as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

Hey, hey, hey, it can't be!

Did I, who don't believe in ghosts, encounter a ghost?

Why does it have to be me!

If you have any grievances, you can go to Sophora Japonica. She can even communicate with you spirits and gossip!

Unfortunately, no matter how much Gamma Ceti cursed in her heart, the gaze from behind her became more and more obvious and cold.

She pulled up her pants with trembling hands and looked down at her arms. Oh my god!

It was already covered with white frost!

This must be a ghost!

As expected, it was the work of ghosts!

Sorry, Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Maxwell, Planck, Gauss … these scientific sages!

Wuwuwu, from today onwards, I'm no longer a pure believer of historical materialism. I might have to change my belief to idealism QAQ!

Now, there was a new problem: Should I flush the toilet after using it?

But that ghost was staring at him from behind … Perhaps it was even sitting on the switch of the water tank, watching his every move!

But if he didn't flush the toilet, his morals and conscience would condemn him for the whole night!

Gamma Ceti thought for a few seconds and finally came up with a perfect plan between civic morality and escape. She would first activate her personality to delay time, and then flush the toilet before the ghost could react. Finally, she would still use the delayed time to escape!

Wow, she was really a little smart girl with civic morality.

Unfortunately, the reality was a little cruel. Just as Gamma Ceti activated her "personality", she felt that the ceiling of the toilet was instantly distorted in front of her eyes!

Wait a minute, the scene after time was slowed down was not like this in the past!

She didn't have time to struggle as the inexplicable cold air whizzed past her and brought her to another world.

The moment her whole body was swept up by the wind, Gamma Ceti suddenly felt that there was a hard, cold circular object in her hand.

She was full of question marks, but no one could answer her.

*

"Bang!"

A black portal suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the bathroom and threw the girl who was about to vomit into the bathtub. Full marks for action!

"Cough, cough, cough …" Gamma Ceti struggled to get up from the slippery bathtub. Fortunately, her head was not bleeding or anything.

Last time when she went back with her face covered in dirt after a fight, she was thrown into a small dark room to reflect on herself as a punishment. If she went back with blood this time, they might think that she was involved in a large-scale fight.

For a moment, the child felt that her life was very bitter. She just wanted to use the toilet, why did she encounter a ghost?

Furthermore, she was brought to someone else's bathroom. She didn't know where it was.

The reason why she thought it was "someone else's" place was mainly because there were more than half a bottle of hand sanitizer, various cosmetics, and whitening facial cleansers on the sink. A few bottles of men's hair extensions were miserably squeezed in the corner, and the rest were women's toiletries.

Oh, the owner of this room seemed to be a girl who loved to look beautiful.

She shook her head to sober herself up, hoping that her sudden appearance would not scare the owner.

At this time, the person finally noticed the thing in his hand. He could not help but raise it up to examine it, and found that it was a palm-sized silver pocket watch. The pocket watch's style was ancient, with a touch of the vicissitudes of history. The back of the dial was inlaid with three huge gems of different colors, forming a triangle.

Wow, did I hit the jackpot?

Gamma Ceti blinked curiously. At this time, she also guessed that her being brought to this place most likely had something to do with this pocket watch.

She tried to press the switch on the side of the watch. With a light click, the pocket watch gently popped open.

The naughty child waited for dozens of seconds as if she was facing a formidable enemy. Fortunately, there were no demons or ghosts rushing out to scare her.

However, Gamma Ceti was soon slapped in the face by a voice.

[You picked up this pocket watch, and then you opened it out of curiosity.]

"Huh?" Gamma Ceti looked around the bathroom and said in shock, "Who's talking?"

The voice ignored her and continued to speak. [This was once the most precious thing to a human, because it was a love token given to her by her lover.]

[However, that was not an ordinary woman. She had the ability to control time, space, and magnetic fields.

In that era where superpowers were not widespread, she was a genius, and she became a time traveler with her own strength.]

"Even if this is an era where individuality is common, this kind of person is still a genius …" Gamma Ceti complained softly.

"I have never heard of anyone who could become a time traveler."

[But … no matter how powerful a human is, there will be a day when they die. After personally sending off her lover, this powerful magician felt that life had become boring.]

"She became a magician again?"

[So she thought, ah, when I die, will there still be people like me who can play in different time and space?

If the younger generation does not live up to her expectations and can't do it, this world will be too lonely.]

[So this great magician tried to make some magic items that even ordinary people without superpowers can use.

Unfortunately, she failed … because she realized that the price of this kind of behavior may be the destruction of the original appearance of the item, so she gave up the idea of making it.

Now, the only half-finished product is the pocket watch in your hand. Only the younger generation who has part of the same ability as her has the opportunity to find and obtain it!]

[So work hard, young one, this sad little gift is for you!

If you want to use it to do bad things or change the world, it all depends on your mood!

Bye bye!]

Then, the sweet commentary really disappeared.

"…"

Gamma Ceti did not know what to say. She looked surprised and turned the item in her hand over to examine it. "So I am European?"

The surface was turned over, and the inside cover was engraved with beautiful cursive words.

[My heart is held by you, only time can prove its love.]

The girl's gaze moved down, and the name signed was …

"Sakamoto — Sakamoto?" Gamma Ceti read it out subconsciously. "Such an ordinary name."

She did not know if it was an illusion, but when she read the name, it seemed that a gust of wind blew past her, causing the curtains to sway slightly.

At this time, she suddenly heard the sound of the doorknob turning. Without thinking much, she closed the pocket watch and slid it into her sleeve. Just as she hid the item, someone came in.

It was a little girl about the same age as her, with short brown hair and a yawning expression, she looked a little cute.

"Eh?" The other party saw Gamma Ceti lying on the edge of the bathtub, like an innocent painting, and was stunned.

The painting student waved and greeted with a forced smile. "Hi."

"En."

The child nodded calmly. "Good morning, it seems that I have disturbed you. Sorry, I will go out now."

After saying that, the other party really turned around and left!

She completely ignored the question of how Gamma Ceti came in!

What a well-mannered child... What the devil!

Are you people from another world so calm?!

While the other party left, Gamma Ceti hurriedly took out the pocket watch to see how to find the way back. If she remembered correctly, Sophora Japonica said that the girl who disappeared previously appeared three days later … Gamma Ceti was a little regretful that she did not inquire about the personality of the previous unlucky girl. It might be time, space, or magnetic field that triggered this crazy inheritance ceremony.

But what she didn't know was that the girl who walked out of the bathroom was trying her best to remain calm as she locked the bathroom door from the outside. Then, she ran upstairs into a room and desperately shook the middle-aged fat man who was sleeping on the bed.

The man was shaken awake early in the morning, groggily reaching for the glasses on the bedside table. "What, what's wrong?"
