188: Chapter 189 Justice? The Scissorhands Transform into a Maid in a Bottle, Jiang Chen Becomes a Father

“Th-this... what is this?!”

For Taiwan novels, look to Taiwan Novel Website, it's super awesome.

Scissor Hand looked down at its lace-trimmed outfit and let out a sharp, ear-piercing shriek.

“According to the laws of the 2D world.” Jiang Chen put away his pen and stroked his chin like a connoisseur, “Any villain with off-the-charts combat power, once they put on a maid outfit, will automatically transform into... a cute mascot.”

“This is the—【Cute is Justice】 strike!”

“I don't believe it! I am a Five Dimensions executioner! I am invincible!”

Scissor Hand (Maid Version) roared and raised the pink scissors in its hands, trying to counterattack.

But when it swung the scissors, there was no killing intent; instead, a few... little flowers floated out?

“Meow?” Scissor Hand wanted to shout “Go to hell,” but when it opened its mouth, a soft, sweet cat meow came out instead.

The whole room fell into dead silence.

Xihe, who had turned into an origami crane: “...” (Although she couldn't move, she was deeply shocked.)

Change, who had almost turned into a rose: “...” (This fetish system is a bit ahead of its time.)

Gu Liuli: “Wow! So cute! Husband, your drawing skills are amazing!”

“It's over... I'm not pure anymore...” Scissor Hand covered its face (covering the two drawn-on blushes), knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly (spewing out text bubble tears).

As a genderless conceptual entity, for the first time, it felt what “social death” meant.

“What are you crying for? It's not over yet.” Jiang Chen walked up to it, looking down at this “cute creature.”

“Since you've become a maid, you need to look like one.”

Jiang Chen casually grabbed a glass bottle from the side (from inside a drawing)—it was a cola bottle he had just sketched.

“Get in here.”

Jiang Chen, like rolling up a bedroll, rolled Scissor Hand (Maid Version) into an egg roll and then forcefully stuffed it into the glass bottle.

“Let me out! I am a Five Dimensions civil servant! I have tenure! You can't treat me like this!”

Inside the bottle, the chibi figure pressed against the glass wall, its face squashed, emitting strings of angry text bubbles: 【Let me out!】 【I want to file a complaint!】 【Give me back my dignity!】

“Complaint invalid.”

Jiang Chen took his pen, drew a seal on the bottle cap, and wrote a big “SEALED” character on it.

“From today on, you are our family's ‘robot vacuum’ responsible for dealing with trash.”

“You'll be responsible for dimensionally reducing the dust and trash in the house. Do a good job and you'll get charged; do a bad job... and I'll draw a bald head on you!”

“No bald head! I was wrong! I'll do it! Won't I do it!” The little figure in the bottle instantly caved in.

With Scissor Hand sealed, the oppressive 2D force field in the room began to rapidly dissipate.

“Pop—” A soft sound. Just like a balloon inflating. The originally flat furniture became three-dimensional again, the walls regained their thickness, and the sunlight regained its warmth.

“Ouch!” Xihe sprang up from the ground, regaining her hot, mature woman figure.

“My back! My poor old back!”

She held her waist, looking fearful, “I almost really turned into a paper crane! If this got out, where would I put the face of the Xihe?”

Change also returned to her original state. She immediately rushed to the mirror to check her face: “Thank goodness, no wrinkles, my collagen is still there.”

Ji Linglong and Ling also recovered one after another. Finally, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Chen.

With the lifting of the dimensional reduction strike, the severed “concept of charm” floated out from Scissor Hand's scissors and returned to Jiang Chen.

At that moment. Light shone upon the earth once again.

Jiang Chen's plain, average face began to Change. His flat nose bridge straightened, his squinting eyes turned into peach blossom eyes, and his hairline returned to its perfect position. That “soft rice king aura” that made all female creatures in the universe weak in the knees at a single glance returned once more.

“Phew...” Jiang Chen touched his handsome face again and let out a long breath. “Scared the hell out of me. I thought I'd have to live the rest of my life with that NPC face.”

He turned around, struck what he thought was his most handsome pose, and winked at his five Wives: “How about it? Wives, don't you think this face is much easier on the eyes?”

However. The expected screams and hugs did not appear. Looking at the handsome Jiang Chen, the five women instead... sighed in unison.

“Sigh...” Xihe shook her head with regret, “What a pity. That ugly face from just now, although it looked hideous, was... really very reassuring.”

“That's right.” Change also felt a bit disappointed, “That sense of security that ‘no one would ever steal him if I took him out’ is gone. Now this face... tsk, I have to start guarding against thieves again.”

“Logic judgment: Risk factor has soared back to 99%.” Ling silently restarted the whole-house monitoring system, “I suggest buying a mask for Husband, or putting a burlap sack over him when he goes out.”

Gu Liuli was the most direct. She held the pen, eager to try: “Husband, how about... I draw it back for you? Or I could draw a pig nose on you? That would also be quite cute.”

Jiang Chen: “...” He looked at this group of women with such strange thought processes and suddenly felt that being too handsome was sometimes an original sin.

“Stop messing around!” Jiang Chen quickly confiscated the pen, “This is a strategic weapon! It cannot be used recklessly!”

He shook the glass bottle in his hand containing “Maid Scissor Hand”. “The crisis hasn't been completely resolved yet.”

“Although this guy has been caught, the Five Dimensions administration behind it definitely won't let it go.”

“And besides...” Jiang Chen glanced at the balcony, where, somehow, a package had appeared. A delivery package that emitted strange starlight and looked as if it had traveled from the future.

“What is that?” Xihe frowned, “Whose delivery is it this time? It's not another microwave, is it?”

“There seems to be writing on it...” Jiang Chen walked over and picked up the card on the package. The handwriting on the card was very messy, revealing a sense of haste: 【Jiang Chen, this is your child. It's inconvenient for me to raise it, so I'm giving it to you. —Someone from the future.】

“A child?!” Jiang Chen's hand shook, and the package almost fell to the ground. Before he could react. “Waaaah—!!!” A loud, full-throated baby's cry, even carrying a hint of infrasonic attack, came from the package.

At this moment. The air in Guanghan Palace (Earth Office for Temporary Residence) completely froze.

The teacup in Change's hand shattered. The flames in Xihe's hand set the curtains on fire. Ji Linglong drew the newly repaired taichu divine sword. Gu Liuli and Ling simultaneously locked onto Jiang Chen's vital parts.

Five killing intents, like tangible objects, pressed down on Jiang Chen.

“Jiang! Chen!” Change gritted her teeth, every word sounding like it was fished out of an ice cellar, “Is this what you meant by ‘day and night shifts’? When did you go behind our backs... and have an illegitimate child in the future?!”

Jiang Chen held the still-crying package, looking at the five pairs of man-eating eyes around him. He felt that. Turning into a paper person earlier might have been too happy. Now, he might be about to turn into... a shredded person.

“I'm innocent! I've never even been to the future! Where would I get a child from!!!”
