"Ding! JEI Item Manager unlocked."
The System's voice rang in Lin Tian's mind, but he didn't have time to pay attention. He was currently facing a serious test.
[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: Xiao Tian, which one is the real me?]
Hearing Shinobu Kocho's private message, Lin Tian looked in annoyance at the two almost identical Shinobu Kochos in front of him. Whether in expression or demeanor, these two Shinobu Kochos were exactly the same. Furthermore, to test Lin Tian, the two Shinobu Kochos kept spinning around, making it even harder for him to tell who was real.
"Xiao Tian, haven't you figured it out yet? I already know which one is the real Shinobu!"
Mitsuri Kanroji leaned in behind Lin Tian and said with a bright smile.
And beside them, Kanae and Kanao clearly also knew who the real person was, both looking at Lin Tian with curiosity to see if he could tell them apart.
"I don't believe this! Stop for a moment!"
Lin Tian, unconvinced, stopped the two who were still spinning.
After the two Shinobu Kochos stopped, Lin Tian moved in front of them and began to slowly test them.
Lin Tian first moved in front of the left Shinobu Kocho, carefully studying her eyes, then slowly cupped her small face and gradually leaned in.
Just one second before he was about to kiss her, Lin Tian abruptly moved away and went in front of the right Shinobu Kocho.
This time, Lin Tian only glanced at this Shinobu Kocho's eyes before backing straight up to his original spot.
"Shinobu, do you want me to expose you?"
Hearing this, the left Shinobu Kocho suddenly smiled sweetly, stepped forward, and asked in confusion, "How did you recognize me? I didn't give anything away just now."
"It was the eyes. I could tell from the eyes."
Lin Tian smiled confidently, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and explained his reasoning with his hands behind his back, "Shinobu, your eyes hold hope. This is the brilliance of hope for the future brought to you because your sister was resurrected. But the other Shinobu's eyes still have that listless feeling, clearly the one from the mod who was still obsessed with killing Doma."
"So, that's how I knew you were the real Shinobu."
"How about it? Aren't I amazing? Am I a genius or what? You admire me, right!"
Seeing Lin Tian's expression begging for praise, Nezuko, who had recovered, asked a very innocent question: "If Brother Lin Tian could tell just by looking at the eyes, then why did he need to hold Sister Shinobu's face just now?"
As soon as Nezuko finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.
After a long moment, Lin Tian coughed twice, "Um, didn't everyone say they wanted to go back? Let's hurry up and pack, we'll head back later."
"Ah? Right, right! We even prepared some gifts! They're in the Butterfly Mansion, let's go get them now."
"Butterfly Mansion? Gifts? But Sister Shinobu, aren't we..."
"It's nothing! Aoi! You go with Shinobu too, we still have a lot to bring!"
"But Sister Kanae! I..."
"Aoi, children shouldn't ask so many questions. Hurry up and go, ah!"
Finally, under Mitsuri's "tyrannical" pressure, Aoi Kanzaki finally stopped asking why they had to go to the Butterfly Mansion to get things and obediently followed Shinobu Kocho to go sort things out.
Only Lin Tian and Nezuko remained on the spot. Clearly, they wanted Lin Tian to solve the problem he himself had caused.
"Nezuko, just now, big brother just wanted to get a closer look, I didn't mean anything else."
Under Nezuko's expectant gaze, Lin Tian could only bite the bullet and explain. 'Heavens! He just wanted to tease Shinobu Kocho a bit to see if she would expose herself, he didn't expect to get himself into this much trouble.'
Nezuko nodded thoughtfully. She didn't say anything, but the strange light in her eyes indicated she didn't seem to believe Lin Tian's explanation.
Seeing Nezuko obediently pretend to be invisible, Lin Tian let out a breath. He had muddled through this time.
But soon, Lin Tian turned his gaze to the Shinobu Kocho in front of him. This Shinobu Kocho was a creature from the Demon Slayer mod. The Demon Slayer mod unlocked by the System didn't generate those demons in the main world. Instead, it had banned the program that naturally spawns demons and gave Lin Tian a few spawn eggs as compensation.
Of course, Lin Tian's reaction to this was: more compensation, please, I love it!
The creatures in this mod were identical to the ones in the original work, just lacking intelligence and emotions, similar to simulation robots.
"System, how do I retrieve this Shinobu Kocho? I can't just let her wander around outside, right?"
"Ding! Capture Sphere unlocked."
"There, happy? Stop bothering me, this System needs to catch up on sleep!"
After unlocking a new mod, the System directly blocked Lin Tian's voice and went back to sleep peacefully.
"Catch up on sleep? What sleep? The MC world is developing steadily right now. This is precisely the time when an MC explorer like me is needed to delve deep and work hard. How can you go catch up on sleep, System! Get up and work!"
"Ding! More Golems unlocked."
"Don't you just want mods? What's all the shouting about! Mind your own business!"
"A-Alrighty then!"
Seeing that he had successfully scammed another mod, Lin Tian's attitude did a 180-degree turn. The speed of that face-change was simply incredible.
"Oh right, it seems a new mod was unlocked just now. And it looks like an old friend."
Lin Tian opened his inventory. As expected, on the right side, where there used to be only the personal display frame and inventory slots, there was now an extra screen. It was precisely the JEI Item Manager, a must-have for MC players.
Seeing this screen, Lin Tian curiously used his mind to scroll up and down, checking the items from the mods unlocked so far. He flipped all the way to the last page before he saw the pattern for the Capture Sphere.
"Let's see, five iron ingots, one button, and three purple wool? How strange. It actually needs wool?"
Seeing the crafting recipe for the Capture Sphere, Lin Tian had a speechless look on his face. Why did it need wool? But he didn't care that much. He directly placed a crafting table nearby and made one in a few simple moves.
Looking at the Capture Sphere in his hand, Lin Tian threw it at the Shinobu Kocho (mod) in front of him.
A white light flashed, and the Shinobu Kocho (mod)'s figure disappeared. The purple Capture Sphere fell to the ground, emitting a strange glow.
"This way, I don't have to worry about where this Shinobu Kocho will go."
Lin Tian picked up the Capture Sphere and put it in his backpack.
"Nezuko, let's go. We're going home."
Hearing this, Nezuko took the initiative to hold Lin Tian's hand, and they walked toward the house.
...
Back on the second floor of the house, Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano had already prepared lunch and were waiting for everyone to come back and eat together.
[Lord of the World: Shinobu, bring everyone over. After we eat, we'll go back to your world.]
[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: Understood.]
