Chapter 96 Huang Tao Hates Riddlers

Dude, is this breakfast time?

Do you think I'd still be in the mood for breakfast right now?

At this moment, Huang Tao really wanted to firmly tell the child in front of him that he didn't want to eat breakfast, he just wanted to go home as soon as possible and end all this awful mess.

But looking at the shockingly ugly doll in front of him, which was full of terrifying aesthetics, even though he guessed that the doll would not hurt him, Huang Tao still forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I am indeed a little hungry."

After saying that, Huang Tao regretted it a little because he suddenly thought of a very important question: were the things these two strange things were eating normal food?

Could it be some kind of weird or strange thing?

At that moment, Huang Tao's mind flashed through scenes of characters from various horror movies eating rice, and he instantly felt a strong aversion to the breakfast that was about to begin.

But to Huang Tao's surprise, ten minutes later, when he sat down at the table, what was placed in front of him was a takeout box that hadn't even been unpacked.

It's hard to say what Huang Tao was feeling at that moment. He looked at the takeout box in front of him, then at the steaming buns in Zhou Mingrui's already opened takeout box, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Are we just going to eat this?"

"What, do you have a problem with this?" Rosen sat at the dining table. As a doll, he naturally didn't need to eat, so he just watched the two of them eat.

"No, I just think the master is quite down-to-earth!" Huang Tao immediately shook his head sincerely, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, while ordering takeout is down-to-earth, it always gives people peace of mind.

And to be honest, Huang Tao was really hungry. After all, he had experienced so many frights last night and had run all the way from home to here, which had taken a toll on his energy.

After Huang Tao finished his breakfast, the feeling of fullness gave him a sense of security. He couldn't help but glance at the doll opposite him again, his expression a mixture of wanting to say something and hesitating to speak.

"Stop looking, just ask whatever you want!" Rosen said with a smile.

"Um, you—no, who exactly are you?" Huang Tao asked hesitantly. "And what did you mean by what you said earlier?"

"Who am I? Hmm, I think I already introduced myself. I'm Rosen." Rosen raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "As for what I said, it's not important!"

Huang Tao swallowed hard. He stared at the doll in front of him, clearly struggling with the decision, before finally saying in a self-deprecating tone, "You should know what I mean. What...where exactly did I offend you, Your Excellency?"

"Hahaha!" Rosen finally couldn't help but laugh. He continued, "Actually, you didn't offend me in any way. I already said, I just came to say hello."

At that moment, Huang Tao felt his brain had never been working so fast. He instantly recalled Rosen's earlier words and asked, "You said you made a promise with my future self to visit me. Are you some kind of time traveler?"

"You can think that way," Rosen said with a smile, without denying it.

Encouraged by this, Huang Tao asked, "Now that you've visited me, is there anything else you wish to do?"

"To be honest, no." Rosen shook his head, looking at Huang Tao with a half-smile, and said slowly, "But you seem to have something you want to ask me. What, are you curious about what your future self will be like?"

Huang Tao immediately chuckled awkwardly. He was genuinely curious about what his future self would be like, and what the name "Rossel" was all about.

Does this mean he's going to develop his career abroad?

Huang Tao wondered what was going on in his mind. Looking at the doll in front of him, he mustered up his courage and asked, "Can you answer my question?"

""

"Of course—" Rosen deliberately dragged out his words, making a secret gesture under Huang Tao's expectant gaze, and said with a grin, "No."

Huang Tao couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

Rosen smiled and said, "Knowing the future in advance isn't necessarily a good thing, Huang Tao. Cherish your life now and don't overthink the future."

Are you some new breed of riddle teller?

Huang Tao mentally scoffed. He glanced at Rosen, then at the youthful-looking Zhou Mingrui beside him, and his mind suddenly started racing.

After the initial shock, Huang Tao, who is now gradually calming down, suddenly realized that all of this might also be an opportunity for him.

Recalling his experience yesterday, Huang Tao looked at Zhou Mingrui with a fawning smile and asked, "Master, if I may ask, what exactly happened yesterday? Was it due to your special abilities?"

Regardless of what was going on with these two guys, Huang Tao was certain of one thing: they must possess some kind of special ability.

This alone was enough to excite Huang Tao. After all, as a guy who could become a protagonist after "time travel" in the future, Huang Tao still had a bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) in him. Naturally, he had fantasized about "his peaceful life being disrupted one day, him coming into contact with some mysterious organization, gaining special abilities, and thus reaching the pinnacle of life".

While it's hard to say whether he can reach the pinnacle of his life right now, Huang Tao is genuinely curious about special abilities.

"Just call me Zhou Mingrui!" Zhou Mingrui felt a little embarrassed by Huang Tao's constant use of "master," and then he remembered helping Rosen scare people yesterday. He coughed and said, "That was my extraordinary ability."

Rosen's abilities in his doll form are severely limited, so most of the actions that scared Huang Tao yesterday were actually accomplished by Zhou Mingrui using his abilities. After all, he now shares the Mysterious Servant ability of the Future Fool, so performing these frightening actions is just a matter of course for him.

So it was you, kid!

It looked quite clear, but I never expected it—you really can't judge a book by its cover!

Huang Tao naturally understood the meaning behind Zhou Mingrui's words. He gritted his teeth, then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, may I inquire about this extraordinary ability? I'm not coveting your ability, I'm just really curious. After all, I've been an ordinary person for so many years, and I always thought this world was uneventful. I never expected that extraordinary people would actually exist."

The title "Extraordinary Person" was deduced by Huang Tao based on the title "Extraordinary Ability".

"I bet you really want to beat up Zhou right now," Rosen's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Huang Tao was immediately startled. He quickly explained, "No, no, I absolutely didn't think that—okay, maybe a little bit, but I swear, I would never actually do that, and I don't have the ability to do it!"

Huang Tao, who had intended to deny it to the end, finally confessed honestly when faced with Rosen's ambiguous smile.
