After familiarizing himself with his new abilities, Chris saw that it was almost dinner time, so he went downstairs.
However, upon arriving in the living room on the first floor, Chris realized that Louise wasn't making dinner.
This made Chris realize something was wrong. He then glanced at the calendar and was surprised to find that it was already April 15th.
"fuck! I should have thought of it sooner!"
Realizing the time issue, Chris rushed upstairs, burst into Dumpling's bedroom, and demanded, "Stewie, what did you do? Why is the time in both worlds synchronized?"
Dumpling, who was comforting himself while holding rupert, was startled by Chris. He then calmly said, "I created a time synchronization device. As long as you wear the watch, no matter how long you spend in a Time travelworld, the main world's time will also synchronize."
"Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if I couldn't see you get flustered!"
After hearing Dumpling's explanation, Chris laughed in exasperation, "You really are something!"
But now wasn't the time to argue with Dumpling. He had spent seven or eight days in the Death God World, and the time in both worlds was synchronized.
This meant that from Louise's perspective, he had been missing for that long.
No wonder the house felt so quiet; Louise and the others must have gone out to look for him.
After such a long time without finding him, Louise was probably frantic.
"You must know where Louise and the others went to look for me, right?"
"Oh, that's what you're focused on!" Dumpling was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected this cheap older brother to actually develop feelings for these family members, even more so than the original Chris had.
But Dumpling didn't care, since Louise and Peter came back every night. He casually replied, "I don't know, maybe they're at the police station waiting for clues? Or maybe they went to a few surrounding cities to look for you. You know, I've been watching you get flustered all these days, I didn't have time to care what they were doing!"
Hearing Dumpling say this, Chris hurried over to Old Joe's house next door, and sure enough, Old Joe wasn't home.
Fortunately, there was a pregnant, beautiful woman in the house, who should be Old Joe's wife, Bonnie.
"Hey, Mrs. Swanson, is Mr. Joe working overtime at the police station?"
Bonnie, who was clearing the dinner table, heard someone call her. She turned to look out the window and then saw that it was Chris calling her.
"Oh my god! Chris, where have you been all these days? Do you know how worried Louise has been about you?"
Bonnie stepped out of the door and softly asked Chris about his whereabouts during those days.
"Ah... oh... this!" Chris tried to explain repeatedly, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse and could only stare at Bonnie, speechless.
Seeing the difficulty on Chris's face, Bonnie stopped pressing and went inside to make a call, "Never mind, I'll call Joe first and tell them you've come back on your own. Louise is also at the police station, so don't run around for now."
While Bonnie was on the phone, Chris started making up an excuse to deal with Louise and the others' inquiries.
As Chris lowered his head in thought, he could still hear Bonnie's phone call and Louise's sharp voice on the other end.
"Yes, he's fine, he doesn't seem to be hurt."
"Bonnie, watch him, don't let him run around! I suspect it's a sequela from Chris's head injury last time, making him a bit delirious."
"Don't worry, Louise. He's at my doorstep right now and looks perfectly normal."
"Okay, we're coming back now."
Bonnie then hung up the phone and waved to Chris, saying, "Louise will be back soon, why don't you come in and sit for a while! Would you like some tea?"
"No, Mrs. Swanson. Stewie is still home, and I'm afraid something might happen to him, so I'll go back and wait."
"This..." Bonnie remembered Louise's instructions, then looked at Chris's normal expression, and nodded, saying, "Alright then, you can go back."
"Mm, thank you, Mrs. Swanson!"
After thanking her, Chris turned and went back inside. Bonnie watched Chris enter the Griffin Family house, but didn't follow him back in. Instead, she just stood there watching the Griffin Family's front door.
Clearly, she still had Louise's words in mind, afraid that Chris would have another episode and disappear again.
"Oh, oh, oh, Old Joe isn't home, and you and Mrs. Bonnie were alone, a man and a woman, didn't you take the opportunity to do something?"
As soon as Chris entered the house, he saw Dumpling with a mischievous smile, making a suggestive remark.
"What do you take me for? A pervert? And Bonnie is Joe's wife, how could I have such thoughts? I didn't even enter her house!"
Faced with Chris's explanation, Dumpling became even more excited. He laughed loudly and accused, "You still dare to say you didn't have any thoughts! If you really didn't, you wouldn't even pay attention to the boundaries between men and women.
The fact that you care so much about whether you entered the house or not precisely proves that you indeed had such thoughts, but etiquette and morals restrained you, making you deliberately avoid such things from happening."
"Uh..." Chris looked at Dumpling speechlessly. If he weren't sure that he really hadn't had any reaction just now, he would have been convinced by Dumpling that he was indeed as the other party said, only held back by morals from making a move.
But little Chris told him that, having just returned from the Death God World, he had no such thoughts at all.
So, regarding Dumpling's twisted logic, Chris chuckled, "Whatever makes you happy, I don't want to argue about this with you."
Seeing Chris's attitude, Dumpling's expression changed, and he loudly exclaimed, "You are not allowed to use that bad luck ability to mess with me again, or I will really get angry!"
Chris raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the previous small lesson had really scared this child.
However, he truly had no intention of using the bad luck ability on his family members again, Peter excluded.
For Dumpling causing Louise and the others to worry for so long, Chris had a better way to deal with him.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't use the bad luck ability on you again. But I'm warning you now, eat your fill of whatever you want to eat. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything later."
Dumpling completely disregarded Chris's warning. As long as Chris didn't use that bad luck ability, he wasn't afraid of anything now.
In fact, once his anti-bad luck device was ready, even if the other party went back on their word and used the bad luck ability, he still wouldn't be afraid of anything.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Louise hugged Chris on the sofa, crying, "Chris, you made me so worried!"
"It's alright, Mom. It's my fault, I left too hastily, only leaving you a note before I went."
Chris embraced the weary Louise, comforting her while digging a pit for Dumpling.
"A note? What note?"
Confirming Chris was alright, Louise wiped away her tears and looked at Chris in confusion.
"Huh? I gave it to Stewie! Didn't he give it to you?" Chris looked blankly at Dumpling next to him, his expression as if it were true.
Dumpling, on the other hand, looked at Chris with a bewildered expression, not understanding what this guy was up to. Had he received any note?
Just as Dumpling was wondering, Chris slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh no, that note couldn't have been accidentally eaten by Stewie, could it? Will this cause harm to his digestive system!"
"Ah?!" Hearing Chris say this, Louise, who had just relaxed, quickly said, "I've been busy looking for you all these days, I don't know if Stewie had an accident, what should we do now?"
"Wow, I know, I know!" At this moment, Peter excitedly stepped forward. Like a swordsman whose long-practiced skill finally had a chance to be displayed, he swiftly revealed his move.
"It's stomach pumping! Stewie needs stomach pumping in this situation!"
Looking at Peter's divine assist, Chris looked at him with approval. The look from Chris made Peter even more excited. He picked up Dumpling and turned to walk out the door.
"I'm taking Stewie to get his stomach pumped right now, Louise, you just rest well!"
Chris waved at the struggling Dumpling and said with a mischievous smile, "Stewie, just follow Peter's arrangements obediently, this is all for your health!"
Unfortunately, Dumpling cursed, "fuck you! Chris, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
Listening to Dumpling's words, Brian felt that things were not as simple as Chris said. However, he turned his head and saw Chris staring at him with cold eyes, so he feigned a yawn and said, "Ah, I'm so tired! I'm going to rest."
Megan didn't clearly hear what Dumpling specifically said, but she also didn't bother to pay much attention, turning to go upstairs to rest.
Seeing things develop as he expected, Chris comforted Louise, then also went upstairs to his room.
