Chapter 5 Such Reincarnation. Much Wow. 2

Hel Halja? What the fuck is that? Latin?

"Why don't you know?" Mei looked at her strangely again, like she can't understand why Inna doesn't know such a simple thing.

"Well, I never visited here. It's my first time. So, you can't blame me for not knowing." Inna shrugged.

Mei furrowed her brows.

"It would be strange if you visited twice." She muttered low enough for Inna not to hear.

"Sorry, I don't know much about this world. You might not believe me but...." Inna contemplated, before deciding to just let the truth out.

"I'm actually from a different world."

"I'm from this planet we call Earth. And I was sent here through a reincarnation portal."

Inna whispered, looking very serious.

But the child tried very hard not to laugh. She looked at Inna like she was stupid but kept her mouth sealed.

"Help me out here, I feel like I've been reincarnated to this world for a purpose." Inna kept her serious expression, looking at the child with utmost sincerity.

Mei can't keep it any longer. She laughed and laughed until she can't even breathe right.

"Hey! I'm telling you the truth!" Inna felt greatly insulted. She just told the kid her biggest secret but she actually laughed!

Mei took a few more seconds before she composed herself. She continued facing forwards, following the motion of the queue.

"Haaaaaaaahh...."

She exhaled, ending her laughter.

"If you reincarnated, then I did too." She chuckled.

"Inna, let me ask you. What do I look like?"

"Uhm, a kid?" Inna was confused of her question.

"Okay, and what do you think my age is?"

"11? Or maybe 12?"

"Well, actually, if you combine those numbers, that's my real age."

Inna took a few moments before her eyes bulged.

"Holy shit, 23? That's another level of baby-face! And you're short as fuck."

Mei shook her head, "I didn't say add them together. I said 'combine'."

Huh? Isn't that the same shit?

"My real age is 1112."

BOOM! Her mind stopped working.

Dafuq is 1112? She's kidding right?

"People in my country live longer the stronger they are. And for those who were one of the strongest, they will stop physically growing depending on their strength. My limit is 1112 and I stayed in this appearance all my life." Mei smiled at Inna like how a wise elderly woman would.

Inna took a longer time digesting this. Until she pinpointed on one detail.

"You said your limit is 1112?"

"Yes."

"So you're saying..." Inna didn't want to finish the thought.

"Yes." She smiled dimly.

"Inna, you didn't reincarnate."

The child said slowly while looking back at her.

"You died."
