Chapter 1010 Script in Progress (Part 3)
"Sects exist in every era, and although the names of these sects may change over time, their existence is a fact. However, we know very little about your British royal family."

To put it simply, there are only two sources of information about your royal family: one is what our mentor told us personally, and the other is a detailed investigation conducted over the past eleven years.

At other times, investigations into your family are doomed to failure, yielding no results whatsoever. In all the cycles of history over the past ten thousand years, all intelligence investigations into your royal family have been destined to be fruitless.

I imagine you also have similar family precepts, right? Forbidden to contact ancestors from the past, nor to investigate anything related to the family's past.

Carter gasped. "That's right."

This is indeed a royal family precept, and the doubts behind this precept have puzzled Carter for a long time. He has never understood why, if the precept forbids them from investigating the royal family's past, wouldn't others investigate it? Wouldn't their family's past be known to others?
The cyclical history is not the private property of the British royal family. Anyone can go to the past and do anything. Even if their royal family is not a major force in the world, they are still a family. It is very possible that they will be noticed or accidentally learned about by others. Does that mean that other people will not know the secrets of the royal family's past?
In particular, the Control Authority has the capability to conduct the most detailed investigations.

This question had troubled Carter in his youth until he later came up with a logically consistent possibility: that his family’s past had been contaminated by a dangerous anime, making it impossible to know and not worth knowing.

Even this answer cannot explain the Authority's attitude toward the British royal family, because even unknowable anime could lead to indirect intelligence leaks, and the Authority should at least have been aware of the potential danger to their family.

But in reality, the regulatory authorities don't really take them seriously.

Carter was always curious about this strange family precept, but because of the stern warning in it, he dared not try it at all, just like... just like the monkeys in the experiment.

“It is the power of the waning moon that has been hanging over your heads,” Yin Mingzi said.

"Eleven years ago?" Carter's eyes widened as he repeatedly confirmed.

Yin Mingzi nodded: "That's right, what came to mind?"

Eleven years ago, that was exactly the time Alice disappeared!
Thinking back to the strange ritual he experienced in a dreamlike state, he became even more certain that the family's secrecy was related to Alice.

Alice's disappearance also caused the "water spout" that had always hung over the family to disappear, so... they can now go pick that banana.

"Alice disappeared eleven years ago, so why did she become a possessing spirit and appear on Xia Shou's body? What is the relationship between that person and Alice?" Carter glanced at Yin Mingzi.

Yin Mingzi shrugged: "He's a very special person. He's the key figure who made the mentor choose to act as his successor in this era."

Our mentor and the named 'Undead Traveler' of the Forest Horse were born in the same era. You may find it hard to believe, but before becoming named, the Undead Traveler was our mentor's nemesis.

There's not much to say about their lifelong entanglements. In the end, they made a pact with Lin Zhongma and Canyue: one of them would first be promoted to the title of "Named Person" and would impose limited obstacles on the other. If the other could accomplish suitable tasks while hindering the other, they would be able to be directly promoted to the title of "Acting Person".

Therefore, there will always be one person in the world who has the ability to foresee many possibilities in the future, and whose predictions surpass those of other extraordinary individuals who can predict the future.

Because of this person's existence, our sect cannot launch any attention-grabbing actions. Once we do, the other side can use this gifted ability to directly see our action plan and make corresponding adjustments to prevent or interfere with it.

In different eras, this ability manifests itself in different ways; sometimes it appears in books, sometimes in picture albums, and sometimes in divination.

In that person's eyes, the future of the world is almost certain, and the only two kinds of people are not included in the calculation of possibilities. The first kind is himself, who predicts his own future, which leads to a repetitive cycle of possibilities, like comparing two mirrors without seeing an end.

Another type of person is the one protected by the Crescent Moon's extremely strong power of secrecy. Such people will also be excluded from the calculation interference, and the leakage of information will be minimized.

This is the biggest obstacle our mentors face: the prerequisite for achieving great things is to control the chosen one.

If that's not possible, then we'll have to take another path.

If you're lucky, you might encounter someone whose secret is kept by the Crescent Moon. If you use this person as the core of your actions, then the Traveler's retinue will not be able to foresee the future, because his abilities will not include the other person's future.

Although the reason is unknown, the mentor has confirmed that Xia Shou is the person who received special care from Can Yue, which is also an important reason for our cooperation with your leader.

The reason I'm telling you all this is simply to say that this might be your last chance.

"Your Highness Carter, I don't think you're naive enough to believe Alice will remain a possessing spirit forever. If Alice were to regain her human form, what do you think your family would do?"

Carter's heart tightened, and his face immediately darkened.

Without a doubt, he had sent people to use the Spirit Cage on Alice. This act of complete hostility was irreversible. Only one side could gain absolute control, and there was absolutely no possibility of returning to the relationship they once had.

Yin Mingzi then looked at Kanae: "Miss Kanae, there's really no need for us to say much more. You know Mo Yusi, and you know he's a modern-day boatman, but your family doesn't actually know your mother's identity."

"And seeing your mother isn't actually that difficult. What's your mother's name? If the information is correct, it should be Matsumoto Fuuko, right?"

“Yes.” Kanae held her breath.

She had considered many possibilities, including what the other person would say about Mo Yu Si.

After overhearing Yinmingzi's conversation with Carter, Kanae already felt that she would agree to it, believing that Yinmingzi would offer conditions that she couldn't refuse.

However, she never expected that the other party would directly mention her mother.

Yin Mingzi narrowed his eyes like a fox, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a cheerful smile that looked both friendly and cunning.

"Wait a moment." Yin Mingzi reached into his pocket, took out a neatly folded square piece of paper, and spread it out on the coffee table.

There's a mask painted on it.
