Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 432, 429: Unable to Learn

"."

Before her, Bai Yi stood at the entrance of the huge, almost fully decorated Golden Lion Convention Center, her sparkling eyes revealing a visible hesitation.

"Meow?"

Yan Huan, who had followed her, noticed her mood and was about to offer some words of comfort when she smiled to herself, clenched her fist, and cheered Yan Huan on.

"Well, it's okay! This is only the second to last stop. The most important thing is to see Yan Huan safely after we finish!"

Bai Yi is always like this.

She often had moments of low spirits, but before Yan Huan could even offer comfort, she would lick her wounds herself and bravely put on an optimistic smile to cheer herself up.

Honestly, even disregarding her previous ridiculous behavior, being around her always makes me feel good.

"That's it, meow."

So Yan Huan nodded and responded with that.

"Okay! Let's find a place to have dinner first, and then we'll prepare properly tonight."

But as soon as he finished answering that question, he simultaneously asked Meow-chan a question in his mind.
"By the way, Meow-chan, can the world lines observed by that observer be faked?"

"It's possible, but are you really going to keep lying to her, meow?"

In her mind, Miao Jiang seemed to already know what Yan Huan was going to do, so she asked this question in return.

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan paused slightly in her movements, following Bai Yi's instructions.

Then he sighed.
"I didn't mean to lie to her; this was just to be on the safe side."

After saying that, Yan Huan jumped into Bai Yi's arms with practiced ease, and then said to Miao Jiang in her mind,

"No matter what, even if the last causal bomb is defused, she still has to go back and absolutely cannot repeat the foolish mistake of disappearing."

"But even so, things are still not resolved, meow. The causality bomb will still explode on July 1st. And judging from Index Finger's reaction before, not only you, but the whole world will be in trouble, meow!"

"I know I have a way."

"Meow?!"

Yan Huan kept everyone in suspense, which made Miao Jiang meow loudly in her mind.

At this moment, only Yan Huan himself and the other hosts in the future real-world timeline know what he is thinking.

During this time, he worked to break free from past ties with Bai Yi, and also traversed the IF timeline many times, which gave him a deeper understanding of the causal bomb of the ring finger.

First, the causality bomb seems to appear as soon as Bai Yi begins time travel.

In all the IF storylines where Yan Huan lived past her 19th birthday, Bai Yi did not unlock the second stage ability and begin the time travel.

But now that Bai Yi has already started time travel, even if she goes back, it won't change the fact that she has time traveled.

This creates a paradox.

Therefore, it was destined that the causality bomb would appear in the real world.

The causality bomb parasitized Yan Huan's timeline and detonated on her 19th birthday.

And once it appears, it will definitely explode at the appointed time.

Even if you give up the trainer, it won't help.

In one of the IF storylines, he managed to get all the hosts to give up the modifier before his 19th birthday, completely resolving the issue of the evil god's invasion.

Even so, on his 19th birthday, the causality bomb still exploded, plunging the world into annihilation.

That was the first time Yan Huan and Bai Yi had witnessed the full extent of "annihilation".

If Bai Yi hadn't accelerated time to allow them to escape on the second day, they probably would have been stuck on that IF line forever.

However, this also gave Yan Huan some inspiration.

In another IF scenario, Yan Huan didn't gain the ability to be resurrected and died in the ambulance summoned by her index finger. Even though Bai Yi unlocked the second stage of time travel and returned to the past, the causality bomb still didn't activate.
Because Yan Huan had already died completely before the causality bomb was detonated on July 7st, and the timeline had disappeared.

so.
All I need to do is get Bai Yi back to the present, then trick her and the other hosts into giving up the modifier, and then I can do it before July 7st.
"What's wrong, Yan Ye? Why are you shaking?"

"Meow?"

Yan Huan's golden cat-like eyes narrowed slightly before she raised her head to look at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of her who was looking down at her.

For some reason, when Yan Huan's eyes reflected the girl's image countless times, his involuntary trembling stopped.

"Nothing, meow."

He shook his head, saying this while also trying to comfort himself.

This is only a last resort, in case...
Would untying all the knots be a useful method?

Despite thinking this way, Yan Huan still felt pessimistic.

Because in every IF line, as long as Bai Yi's causal bomb appears, it will definitely explode.

There is absolutely no solution.
Yan Huan lowered her cat-like eyes, looking at the sunset before her, feeling a shadow fall over her heart.

"Hello, may I ask if it's possible to interact with the event guests tomorrow?"

"Huh? Officer, it seems like only a few guests who attended autograph sessions are available for interaction, right?"

"Hmm, does this guest named 'Bai Yi' have an autograph session?"

"Hiss, let me see."

Outside the venue, Golden Lion Entertainment staff were setting up things like test ticket gates, and many vendors were also setting up temporary sales points around the perimeter.

One of the people asking a staff member caught Bai Yi's attention; they mentioned her name, which made Bai Yi jump for joy.
"Huh? At this time, I have other fans besides Yan Huan?"

"Meow?"

Turning around, he saw a stern-faced middle-aged police officer holding a cell phone, asking questions of the staff.

Originally, Bai Yi thought this uncle was quite a contrast.

After all, he looks to be in his forties or fifties with graying temples, yet he surprisingly likes idols and such.
But as she watched, the proud expression on her face, which she had been hiding her mouth and chuckling to herself, faded slightly.

"Hey, Yanye, look."

Following her gaze, Yan Huan easily spotted the insignia on the police officer's uniform.

"Linmen Second Prison"

Ok?
The name of this prison looks familiar.
Yan Huan blinked, the thought just popping into her head, but she immediately remembered something, turned to Bai Yi and said,
"It's the prison where your dad is serving his sentence, meow."

".Um."

Bai Yi blinked, stood still, and stared at the police officer's back.

He straightened up, watched the ticket office staff check the information on the computer, and then spoke to him.

"Sorry, Bai Yi doesn't have any autograph sessions or similar events tomorrow, only a scheduled performance."

"so."

The officer nodded, showing no disappointment whatsoever, but merely pondered for a moment without any emotion, before speaking.

"Buy me a ticket for tomorrow."

"okay."

Bai Yi watched as the police officer scanned the code and bought the ticket, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Yan Huan looked up at her and asked,

"It might have something to do with your dad, meow. Want to go ask him? Maybe we can even see him again, meow."

Bai Yi thought about it for a moment, and seemed somewhat tempted.

But in the end, he shook his head, puffed out his cheeks, and muttered to himself as he looked at Yan Huan.

"Can't it just be that I'm talented and charming? Is that uncle really my fan?! Yan Huan is my fan, okay?!"

"."

As long as you're happy, Baiyi.

Yan Huan didn't reply, but Bai Yi sighed, rubbing his temples as he watched the police officer take the QR code e-ticket and leave.
"Moreover, even if it were true, I have never met my father in my entire life, nor has he ever sent me a single message."
"I always feel that not knowing what to do actually affects my mood."

Seeing her hesitation, Yan Huan didn't press the matter.
"Well, if I don't want to ask, I won't. Whatever makes you happy."

"woo"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi lowered her head and affectionately nuzzled Yan Huan's head, then hugged him tighter.
"Yan Ye, you spoil me the most~"

"."

Yan Huan remained motionless, seemingly enjoying herself.

"Okay, let's go have dinner! Then we'll stay at a big hotel tonight!"

Bai Yi picked up his spare phone, made a familiar announcement, and then turned and walked in the opposite direction with Yan Huan in his arms.

But as she walked, she couldn't help but look back at the police officer's back.
The next day, it was near noon.

Bai Yi changed into her familiar "fully armed outfit," drove Wuxin through the convention's ticket gate ahead of time, and took her gear to the women's restroom.

Having gone through numerous "what if" scenarios and real-world scenarios, Bai Yi is now quite adept at it.

"Same as always, Yan Ye, this time we'll use the second method to combine them!"

"Good meow."

This is a summary Yan Huan made for Bai Yi before, which can minimize the impact and also break the bond between herself and her, which are essentially two ways to tie a knot.

The first option is to do something for Yan Huan that she originally did for Bai Yi, thus directly eliminating the bond.

For example, Bai Yi herself leaked Lemon's negative information. The second type is to eliminate the cause of the bond incident.

For example, Bai Yi stole the sheet music, nipping the plagiarism incident in the bud.

Since Yan Huan is also here today, if Bai Yi does the work for her, she might accidentally witness Yan Huan causing a major mess. Therefore, Bai Yi plans to take the second approach.

"Yan Huan came up with the idea of ​​changing the background music after seeing my state in the lounge. So, as long as I cheer myself up before that and pull myself back from the past, Yan Huan won't do what she did before."
"Then, at a crucial moment, I added fuel to the fire and changed my background music for Yan Huan."

Yan Huan nodded, generally agreeing with her line of thinking.

just
"Specifically, how do you encourage me, meow?"

"That's easy. I'll just disguise myself so that my past self won't recognize me, and then pretend to be her fan, right?"

Bai Yi patted the small bag on her body, and then took out a small pill from it.

That's a disguise-enabled mod item I obtained in an "if" scenario before, and it's coming in handy now.
"But Yan Huan is a real fan, and I'm just a fake one. I'm not sure I can portray Yan Huan's genuine feelings for me. I don't know how it will turn out."

With that, Bai Yi swallowed the pill with some distress.

In an instant, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

To outsiders, her once stunningly beautiful face had become ordinary and unremarkable, blending into the crowd, with only her starry eyes still shining brightly.

"Yan Ye, do you have any suggestions? Or can you teach me something?"

Upon hearing her say that, Yan Huan awkwardly looked away and whispered,

"How can I teach you? I'm not good at lying, meow."

Wow, so easy to fool!

You guy!

Yan Huan hadn't lied to Bai Yi much lately, and it hadn't appeared for a long time, so why did it suddenly reappear?!
"Well, never mind, I'll handle it myself. After all, I know myself best, and I know exactly what my past self wanted to hear."

Having not held out much hope for Yan Huan to begin with, Bai Yi walked out of the cubicle and examined her reflection in the mirror.

Then, she clutched the pocket watch and walked toward the door.

The comic convention outside was incredibly lively.

Bai Yi, clutching her pocket watch, quickly weaved through the crowd, heading straight for the back of the stage.

"My mom and I had been there for a while, around 11:30, when Yan Huan finally came to find me."
"Before that, when we first arrived, my mom was away for a while, and I was alone in the lounge. We took advantage of that time to sneak in and launch our attack!"

As she spoke, she turned her pocket watch, activating the indifference...

“Didi. Ta-da.”

She instantly became invisible, easily slipping backstage unnoticed by everyone.

Yan Huan scouted ahead, while also observing whether her companions noticed her as they passed by.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Before long, Yan Huan and Bai Yi arrived at the bustling backstage area.

Here, Bai Yi first saw agent Ji Lin talking with staff from the Golden Lion Group.

"Miss Bai has arrived and is currently getting ready in the lounge."

"Ok."

Bai Yi passed them by, and then saw Zuo Jiangqin's back at the corner.

Sure enough, my impression was correct!

My mom suddenly received a phone call. I don't know if it was because Uncle Jiang had arrived and she went out to answer it; she wasn't in the break room.
Therefore, at this time, sneaking in by myself is definitely the best option.
"I've already said, his affairs have nothing to do with me. As for seeing Bai Yi, don't even think about it!"

"I don't want to come unless absolutely necessary."

But as Bai Yi walked, she heard something and her body stiffened.

Looking over there, one could see Zuo Jiangqin talking to the plainclothes police officer from yesterday in the corner of the corridor.

"You haven't visited him before, and he's never replied to his letters to you or Bai Yi. Ms. Zuo, I can completely understand why you haven't replied, but what about Bai Yi?"

As he spoke, the police officer looked at Zuo Jiangqin expressionlessly and asked,
"You didn't give his letter to Bai Yi, did you?"

"What's it to you? Why would I give that kind of thing to a child?! I threw it away a long time ago!"

"."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi's expression changed slightly, and she leaned against the wall.

She clutched her chest, watching her mother's retreating figure, and quickly realized what was happening.

Perhaps her father did send her letters, but her mother simply kept them all?

"Besides, if he truly cared about the child, he shouldn't have done these things! A criminal only causes trouble."

The moment "that person" was mentioned, Zuo Jiangqin's expression turned completely cold, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain.

Just like before, whenever she mentioned her father to Bai Yi.

"Let's not dwell on the past, but this time, his health has deteriorated in prison, and he wants to see Bai Yi."

"Alright, were you even listening to me?! I said from the beginning, I'm not seeing you!"

"Ms. Zuo"

Seeing Bai Yi's stunned expression, Yan Huan glanced at the time and promptly reminded her,

"Bai Yi, watch the time, meow."

"Ah! Good!"

Bai Yi snapped out of her reverie, turned around, and started muttering to herself as she walked towards the lounge.
"You guessed right, Yan Ye. He really was sent by my father to find me."

"It's meow."

Yan Huan ran skillfully on all fours, but then asked,
"You didn't know about this before, meow?"

"I don't know. My mom didn't tell me, and she didn't tell Uncle Jiang either."

Bai Yi blinked and said to Yan Huan,
"But I can understand, right? I told you before, because my dad went to jail, my mom and I had a really tough childhood, you can't even imagine. It was almost as tough as Yan Huan's childhood."

"??"

Not
Am I some unit of measurement for suffering?

Yan Huan was speechless, but by then they had already arrived at the door of the lounge and didn't have time to chat anymore.

Bai Yi relaxed, looked around, took a deep breath, and grasped the doorknob.
"Here we go, Yan Ye!"

"Click~"

In an instant, the door opened, revealing a not-so-spacious lounge and a stunningly beautiful girl alone inside.

She had just finished her makeup and sat gracefully in front of the mirror like a princess.

"Oh ho ho, I look so good."

Even Bai Yi herself couldn't help but feel vain and sighed in admiration.

"."

Yan Huan was a little speechless, but she also spoke sincerely.

"Indeed, meow."

Inside the room, seeing the door suddenly pushed open, Bai Yi turned her head with a suspicious expression.

At this moment, she has not yet switched to "confidence mode".

He hasn't launched his singing career, his love life is still largely unconnected with Yan Huan, and his family life is in chaos because of Zuo Jiangqin.
Therefore, her face was full of shadows and dejection, and she looked like a droopy swan.

"You who are you?"

Her words brought Bai Yi back to her senses, and she instantly got into the zone.

Fan
Ah, that's right, fans!
Right now, I lack recognition the most, which is why I was so happy when Yan Huan claimed to be my fan!
So, since I'm going to play the role of a fan, I might as well use Yan Huan as my template!
After all, she remembered very clearly how fast her heart was beating when Yan Huan said he was her fan!
first.
What Yan Huan said when she saw him
"I'm still a fan of hers; she sings beautifully. It's just a pity she rarely comes to school."

"Your songs are really good, I'm really looking forward to you uploading new songs."

"Please keep up the good work this weekend, I'll be there to see you."

Bai Yi still remembers that when Yan Huan introduced himself to Tong Yingying with a big smile, his face seemed to radiate a dazzling light.
Then, the crème brûlée he served later was incredibly sweet.

"Cough cough."

And just like that, Bai Yi instantly found her rhythm!

She coughed lightly, and then, following the template of Yan Huan in her memory, she revealed an excited smile, rushed straight towards Bai Yi, and grabbed her hand.
"Hello, Bai Yi, I'm your fan! I think you sing really well!! I super super like you, and I hope you can..."

"Forehead?"

Bai Yi stared blankly at the ordinary-looking girl who suddenly rushed towards him with eager eyes, and his body stiffened slightly for a moment.

She swallowed hard, then subtly pulled her hand away from Bai Yi's, muttering something under her breath.
"Um, thank you. And how did you get in?"

"??"

Ok?
Why isn't it working properly?
That's not how Yan Huan told me back then!

Is it possible?
Was I someone who judged people by their looks in the past?!
Is it just because Yan Huan is very beautiful that she has a different effect?

"."

Bai Yi, whose hand had been easily slipped away, was still caught in a battle of wits with heaven and earth. Meanwhile, in the shadows behind her, Yan Huan looked in the mirror and saw her ordinary expression reveal a fanatical excitement. Bai Yi's face darkened.

Your acting skills are terrible.
No wonder your career wasn't going well before!
