Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 422, Chapter 419: Unpredictable Twists and Turns
"Ha ha."

At the northern end of Beihai District, the road connecting to the city is hidden among the greenery. On the gently rolling hills, the deep and vast sea can be seen with just a turn of the head.

As the breeze blew, the sweat on Bai Yi's forehead gradually dried, but her pale face, still showing signs of lingering fear, remained unchanged.

"It's alright, meow."

"call"

Only when he was completely exhausted and didn't see anyone chasing him when he looked back did Bai Yi relax and squat down by the roadside to catch his breath.

Before her lay the turbulent sea.

"."

Yan Huan sat down beside her thoughtfully, her tail swaying back and forth.

He was reflecting on what the index finger had just done.

Causality bomb.
This should be the third stage ability of the ring finger?

It's really strange. Even the little finger, this alter ego, doesn't know anything about the ring finger, but the index finger does.
What's strange is that the index finger can accept other fingers reaching the final stage, but it can't accept the ring finger.
The reason should be easy to guess:
Detonating the causality bomb on the ring finger would be detrimental to the evil god.

Yan Huan didn't think the evil god's own abilities could harm it. So the only possibility was that the bomb from the ring finger would thwart the evil god's goal and render the fingers meaningless.
"Rather than that, let the evil god descend, meow!"

At that moment, a phrase that Miao Jiang had once said suddenly popped into Yan Huan's mind.

This is what Nyan-chan said when describing "the annihilation of world lines".

In other words, the causality bomb not only destroys itself, but also produces an annihilation-like effect.

Whether it's for Fingertips or Meow-chan, this outcome is even more serious than the arrival of an evil god!
"!!"

Thinking of this, Yan Huan's eyes widened, and she glanced at the stunningly beautiful girl beside her in surprise.

"Ha Yan. Yan Ye, quickly check the world line, did it work?!"

Bai Yizhen truly has a strong heart. She just went through a life-or-death situation, and now she can still be excited to see if her actions have been effective.

"."

Yan Huan didn't speak, she just looked at her.

Bai Yi pouted and poked Yan Huan's head with her finger to remind her.

"Don't worry, Ye Shiyu secretly gave me that ring. It will stop working on other mods after 24 hours, so don't worry about that index finger thing!"

I know what that is.
Yan Huan snapped out of her daze, her eyes flashing slightly as she summoned the golden pendulum residing in her eyes.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

The golden world line resembles a vast ocean with waves being whipped up by the wind.

Bai Yi eagerly followed Yan Huan's timeline until she reached July 1st, almost half a month later.

There, Yan Huan's timeline continues to crumble and collapse.

"."

Seeing this, Bai Yi opened her mouth, but her originally excited starry eyes dimmed.

She pursed her lips, sighed, and said...
"You're right, the swallow leaves are completely useless."

Seeing her sad, Yan Huan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately wanted to say something to comfort her.

But at that moment, Bai Yi suddenly thought of something and spoke first.

"That 'causality bomb' that Index Finger mentioned earlier, is it the culprit that caused Yan Huan's accident? It also said it wanted to kill me to disarm the bomb."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes narrowed, and she immediately interrupted him fiercely.
"Don't listen to its nonsense! It's just a program, what does it know?!"

"I was just saying, why are you being so mean?"

This was the first time Bai Yi had seen Yan Ye with such a fierce expression. The blood in her body was activated again, and she timidly spoke in a low voice.

"Then tell me, what should I do? How can I save Yan Huan?"

Seeing that she was frightened, Yan Huan paused for a moment before calming herself down and saying,

"This ability couldn't have appeared out of thin air. July 1st is a crucial point! As long as you don't contact him from the day you got the mod until that day, the problem will be solved, meow!"

"Then does that mean everything I had with Yan Huan is gone?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi looked somewhat lost and dejected. She lowered her eyes and sadly picked up some leaves from the ground, tossing them around.

"His memories of me, becoming my fan, and also... him encouraging me to sing at the anime convention, filming a music video together, him kissing me in Akihabara... and him saying he wanted to confess to me, everything..."

"."

Perhaps Yan Huan hadn't expected that at this moment, all she could remember were these things from the past that were still considered pleasant.
Furthermore, many of these so-called wonderful things are based on their own lies.

Not to mention, there were other experiences that were far from pleasant.

For example, during a club battle, he stood up for Ariya, and Ariya forcibly kissed him while he sang a song with tears in his eyes.

For example, being spun around by Anle in Tokyo, having her dance partner stolen by Hitomi Sakuramiya at a high-table banquet, and spending an entire night running across from Ye Shiyu to find Ye Lan.
Yan Huan, however, seems to have not yet promised to confess her feelings to Bai Yi.

"Well, although these things are nothing compared to Yan Huan's life, shall we do it this way?"

Just as Yan Huan's regret welled up in her heart again, Bai Yi sat by the roadside, threw away several blades of grass and several stones, pouted, and finally made up her mind, saying this.

Meanwhile, Yan Huan, upon hearing this, pondered her previous experiences and made a promise.

"Actually, even if you met after you were nineteen, I have a way to give him all his memories from before, meow."

"Really?!"

Bai Yi's starry eyes sparkled again, and she immediately turned to look at Yan Huan.

Yan Huan looked at Bai Yi and said earnestly,

"Yes, really, meow."

"."

Bai Yi was slightly taken aback, then a beautiful smile appeared on her stunning face.

"That's great!"

Yan Huan stared at her smile for a long time, until she once again wasted her beautiful face by making a silly expression.

"Wait! If I have to cut off all contact with Yan Huan before July 1st, wouldn't I have to travel through time countless times?! After all, Yan Huan and I have actually gotten along quite well every day this semester."

Bai Yi was a little embarrassed, but Yan Huan gave her a deadpan look.

Her "we get along well" probably refers to her sending me random messages on the plane that I don't understand.
In order to solve the problem of the modifier, I kept up a lot of activity and sent a lot of messages back and forth.

"That's not how it works, meow. Remember the 'knot' we saw before, meow?"

"A knot? I don't remember."

"."

Now, Yan Huan could roughly understand why their Class B math teacher, Zhou Bin, had such a problem with this beautiful girl.

Even the most basic knowledge points taught in class can be forgotten after class. How can any teacher keep up with that?

Even Arya, at least she remembers a little bit!
"It's the intersection of your and Yan Huan's timelines. Only these important places represent the bond between you and Yan Huan. Resolving these issues is enough."

"what?"

"Moreover, we cannot solve the problem once and for all by addressing the root cause; we must go back and eliminate them one by one."

The world line has a "reverse butterfly effect." If you only change the source, the subsequent development will still try to develop in the original direction.

It's like Bai Yi only saved Yan Huan's parents, but the timeline still develops in the direction of his childhood, living alone and struggling.

Therefore, the only way to completely prevent the causality bomb from exploding within oneself is to reverse the process and untie all the knots between oneself and Bai Yi.
This is a huge project.

"I understand the logic, but the problem is..."

Bai Yi pinched her chin, glanced at the one or two knots on the rope, and asked questioningly,

"Is this all the bond I have with Yan Huan?"

"...This is only about a month in advance."

"Hey, Yan Ye, look at this before, why does An Le have it every night? And it's so tight and big."

"I don't know either, meow."

Yan Huan guiltily looked away and responded in this way.

As expected, the system responded immediately.

Wow, so easy to fool!

"Well"

Bai Yi looked suspicious and subconsciously reached out to touch the knot of rope between Yan Huan and An Le to see the details, but Yan Huan stopped her.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't touch me! It'll have a negative effect!"

"real or fake."

Bai Yi was full of doubts about this.

"In short, our first priority is to go back to..."

Yan Huan wished she could immediately change the subject and looked at the nearest knot in the rope.

Previously, I went to the Golden Lion Group to help Bai Yi resolve the issue of Lemon falsely accusing her of plagiarism.

"Ugh, that damn lemon!! How dare she scheme against me! If it weren't for Yan Huan, I would have been in big trouble! This time I'll start over and make sure she regrets it!"

Yes, yes, yes.

Yan Huan was already used to this guy's pre-match trash talk; he simply glanced at the time. There was still some time until 4:44 PM, so he could take a short break.

"However, you didn't use the time acceleration display enough times before?"

"Hmm, the numbers on it are red, and I can't move them. By the way, aren't you my cheat code avatar? How come you don't even know this?"

"I'm just its incarnation, I can't use it for you, okay, meow."

Yan Huan lied skillfully, but at the same time realized that it would be difficult to skip the subsequent "if" scenarios using this skill with its extremely long cooldown.

"Hmm, never mind, I'm so hungry, Yanye. How about we go to the city to get something to eat?"

"Sure, but do you have money, meow? You probably didn't bring your phone, did you?"

"It's useless even if I bring it; it disappears as soon as it enters the IF line."

"Then how shall we eat?"

How did you bring those things back last night?

"."

"."

The man and the cat exchanged a glance, but remained silent.

"According to our station, a car accident occurred this morning in the Beihai villa area. The cause of the accident is currently unknown, but fortunately, there were no injuries."

Afternoon, Jinghe District, 4:40 PM.

Bai Yi sat on a chair in the mall, watching the news broadcast on the TVs sold by smart brands, and couldn't help but rub his chin.

Nearby, a shop assistant walked by once again with a professional smile, while simultaneously clearing his throat.

"Cough cough."

Seeing this, Bai Yi rolled her eyes, straightened her clothes, and stood up.

"I'm just enjoying the air conditioning in your shop, why are you rushing me?"

The shopping malls in Linmen don't have as many seats as those in Longguo; usually, you can only find seats in other people's shops.

It takes a lot of shamelessness to sit inside without buying or looking at anything.

Fortunately, Bai Yi was fully armed at the moment and didn't need such a thing.

"Let's go, Swallow Leaf."

"Meow~"

As Bai Yi passed by, he took one last look at the scene captured by the reporter on TV, in which Yan Huan's photo was clearly visible.

She gently reached out and touched Yan Huan's image through the screen.

Immediately afterward, he turned and left, heading towards the women's restroom.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

Then, from one of the cubicles, a faint sound, like a drop of water walking, came from within.

A faint light enveloped Yan Huan and Bai Yi in an instant, and they left the timeline again.

"Wait a minute, Yan Ye, something feels different than before?"

"Me too, meow."

But this time, as soon as they left the timeline, Yan Huan and Bai Yi immediately realized that as the timeline began to stir, its originally dazzling gold color began to become blinding.

Then, the previously bright IF lines around them began to turn crimson.

Yan Huan and Bai Yi were dragged along by a powerful force, rushing towards one of the incomparably crimson "if" lines.

"Boom!!"

"Wow."

The next second, Bai Yi and her body were instantly plunged into a bone-chilling cold.

Yan Huan also rolled in mid-air and fell to the ground.

"Ouch."

Yan Huan gasped and stood up, feeling dizzy.

Looking down, he saw that his paws were stained scarlet by something.

"This is...blood?"

"Yan Yan Ye, I think... Ouch... Help me."

"?"

At that moment, Bai Yi's weak voice came from the side, causing Yan Huan to immediately turn her head to look.

Upon seeing this, he was almost scared back to human form.

"Bai Yi!"

But before him lay Bai Yi, her face pale, in a bathtub filled with warm water.

Her right hand held a knife, while her left hand was submerged in the bathtub, letting wisps of blood, like smoke, float in the warm water.

That is
Suicide by wrist-cutting?!
What kind of IF line is this?!

As her blood drained away, Bai Yi's consciousness began to blur. Her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and she even dropped the dagger she was holding.

"Dangdang!"

"Bai Yi, start the stop mechanism first!! I'll think of a way!"

"Stop from time to time"

Bai Yi's lips had turned a dark purple. She subconsciously called out to her pocket watch, but no matter how she tried to call out to it, there was no response.

"No, I don't think I have a pocket watch anymore."

No more pocket watches?!
So this means that this is the timeline where Bai Yi has already given up on the modifier?!

"You wait! Hold on!"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Yan Huan immediately ran out of the bathroom.

Once he ran out, he realized that he was in what appeared to be a hotel, specifically a presidential suite.

The curtains were drawn and the lights were off, making the room extremely dark.

Yan Huan, her golden eyes shining, ran anxiously around the room and soon spotted the landline phone next to the bed.

"Meow!"

He immediately ran over, unplugged the landline, and after confirming that this was Linmen, he started calling for an ambulance.

"beep"

"beep"

"Hello, this is Linmen Emergency Center. How can I help you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes darted around, gathering information from her surroundings.

麟门
From outside, you can see the Golden Lion Building and the Jinghe District.
The hotel's name, "Amanlinmen," was also written on the hotel's napkins.

Yan Huan quickly relayed the information while simultaneously blurring her way to the doorway to check the house number.

"Right now! Someone's attempted suicide by cutting their wrists! Come quick!!"

"good"

Hearing a child's voice on the other end of the phone, which was indistinguishable between male and female, he was slightly taken aback.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, she didn't dare to delay and said she would arrange an ambulance immediately.

Knowing the relevant information, Yan Huan immediately turned around to find a rope or ribbon, intending to tighten Bai Yi's artery to stop the bleeding.

But as he turned his head, he suddenly saw it on the headboard.
A diary?
Yan Huan was in such a hurry that she naturally didn't have time to read the diary carefully.

Even so, he still caught a glimpse of the few lines written on the open diary.

That one glance struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him momentarily unable to move.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that above, Bai Yi's signature crooked and shaky handwriting read:

"I hope you can see these words, Yan Huan."

"I still love you, even though you've married Areya, I still don't want to give up."

"Over the years, we have left Linmen one after another because it was forced by Aruya's mother, not because we wanted to."

“She threatened us with our families and careers, warning us not to contact you again.”

"But I still secretly came back to see you."

"We really shouldn't have given up on the cheat engine back then, otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation today."

"I really miss you, Yan Huan."

I want to know.

"If you could go back in time and choose again, would you choose me instead of Areya?"
