Rebirth Counterattack with Space-Chapter 27 - Who are you
Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Who are you?
Chapter 27 -27 Who are you?
Lady Snail?
Shitou watched Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, who were coaxed until they were dumbfounded, a smile flickering in his eyes. If he hadn’t been paying close attention to her facial expressions, he might have actually been fooled by her.
In fact, he had been suspicious of her from the beginning.
Her behavior didn’t resemble that of a six-year-old child. Even though she sometimes acted childishly on purpose, her eyes and subtle facial expressions betrayed her true feelings.
Moreover, a person’s change couldn’t possibly be so sudden and so drastic. Brother Aiguo and his wife were blinded by familial affection, so they couldn’t see through it.
But if she wasn’t Su Yun, then who could she be? Could it be that ghosts really exist in this world and can possess people? Her actions didn’t carry any malice; instead, she seemed to harbor intense affection for Brother Aiguo and his wife. Could it really be Lady Snail repaying their kindness?
Shitou fiddled with the dagger in his hand. No matter who she was or where these things came from. As long as she didn’t have ill intent, he would tolerate her presence. The original Su Yun was far too irritating. Having someone different wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, if she had any hidden motives that couldn’t withstand scrutiny, then she couldn’t blame him for his resolve to slay gods when encountering them, and slay ghosts when encountering them.
Lu Yun felt the chilling aura emanating from Shitou and the full extent of his malice directed at her. She felt awful and shivered involuntarily.
How could this person suddenly become so terrifying?
Indeed, the potential of his icy demeanor had inadvertently revealed itself early on. He was already frightening in his youth, commanding respect without even fully maturing.
Oh no, had he noticed something?
Lu Yun felt the hair on her entire body stand on end. Her actions were straightforward and crude, incapable of withstanding any scrutiny. It was as obvious as shouting to the world that she had orchestrated these events herself.
Lu Yun stole a glance at Shitou in terror, wishing she could accelerate her racing heart, which thumped so loudly she dared not open her mouth for fear that it might leap right out. The main reason she had taken action in front of him was that he would be living in their home, making it impossible to keep secrets from him.
She had thought her telekinesis would not pose any problem, but it seemed she had overlooked something. Specifically, why did she grab two daggers at once?
Lu Yun hated herself — why couldn’t she just have used a kitchen knife instead? Clenching her teeth, she resolutely decided that even if exposed, she would vehemently deny everything, for as long as she refused to admit it, feigned ignorance and acted foolish, he would have no way to deal with her…
Lu Yun desperately tried to comfort herself to little avail as her unease and agitation continued to grow. Therefore, despite the deliciously grilled fish, the creamy fish soup, and the still-tasty reheated meat buns, nothing could soothe her increasingly restless and irritated heart.
Lu Yun, who thought she had successfully feigned happiness, did not realize that she had completely “given herself away.”
After Lu Yun forced a smile, only took a few sips of the fish soup, didn’t touch the grilled fish at all, and had lost her appetite completely after eating just half a meat bun, unwilling to eat any more…
Xia Yuan’s worry finally showed on her face. She touched Lu Yun’s forehead and asked with concern, “Xiaoyun, can you really be full after eating so little?”
“Mom, I—I just feel too hot, I don’t have an appetite,” Lu Yun looked up and saw the worried expression on her mother’s face, feeling a pang of guilt.
After touching Lu Yun’s forehead and finding her temperature normal, Xia Yuan reluctantly accepted her excuse. She tenderly took away the half-eaten meat bun Lu Yun was holding, “If that’s the case, don’t force yourself to eat. It’s fine if you want to stay here or go play somewhere else. I’ll save two meat buns for you, eat them when you feel like it, okay?”
“Alright.” The only people in the world who could truly care for her without any ulterior motives, aside from her mother, weren’t worth considering. It was so good that her mother was still here in this life.
“Mom, I’m going to play over there.” Lu Yun pointed to a spot by the creek.
“Go ahead, just don’t go far.” Xia Yuan nodded her head. The water in the creek wasn’t deep, only reaching Xiaoyun’s knees, so she wasn’t worried about any danger to the child.
“Got it.”
Sitting by the creek, she took off her shoes and dipped her feet into the cool water, gently kicking. Away from the “iceberg,” Lu Yun finally felt she could breathe a sigh of relief.
For some reason, in her past life she had an involuntary fear of him, feeling it difficult to even breathe whenever she was with him, which was why she had always avoided him, fearing any encounters.
But strangely enough, after not seeing him for a while, she would start to miss him. Then, when she actually saw him, she would try to avoid him at all costs. It was a vicious cycle that never seemed to end. At that time, she almost suspected she had masochistic tendencies.
Later, when she truly could no longer see him, her sadness was not feigned at all. After crying her heart out, for some reason, she felt as if there was a void that could never be filled again yet, oddly, it seemed to have no real effect on her life?
During their first encounter after being reborn, she didn’t know what came over her, but she actually approached him. She had thought she had broken the barriers of her past life and would no longer be afraid of him, but the outcome… heh, proved that she was thinking too much.

Just thinking about living in the same room with him, sharing a bed at night made Lu Yun’s head hurt, it hurt so much. Why didn’t she refuse her mother at that time? How could she have agreed so smoothly? Would it be too late to regret it now?
Lu Yun habitually sent her consciousness into the space. She didn’t pay attention to inspect the space, but simply let her consciousness drift aimlessly.
It was a method she had discovered in her previous life that allowed her to quickly calm her mind.
Initially, her ability to take items into her space required physical touch, but she inadvertently found that by entering the space with her consciousness and completely emptying her mind, she could somehow find peace.
Moreover, after doing that many times, she gradually developed the ability to take objects from a distance. It increased from the original one meter to ten meters over the course of more than a decade.
…
“Is it comfortable?”
“Ah? You, it’s you…” Lu Yun jolted, her consciousness abruptly returned from the space. She wanted to be angry, but seeing that the person in front of her was Shitou, she deflated.
Shitou’s face revealed an enigmatic smile, “Who exactly are you?”
“I’m Xiaoyun, ah? Shitou, don’t you recognize me?”
Indeed, this “seductive demon” was suspicious of her, Lu Yun lamented in her heart, wailing. I need to find Mommy, she pouted.
“Where are Dad and Mom?”
