Chapter 992 Su Yue's Troubles

Xia Shou thought for a moment: [I've been getting plenty of rest.]

Su Yue: [Then prepare well. I heard the plan from Xiao Gao. It involves using that special sealing artifact to summon my future self from ten years in the future to the present, and then killing the Heart of the Rift King, right?]

Xia Shou: [That's true, but the preparations are quite troublesome, and it will probably take some time before we're ready.]

In fact, Xia Shou didn't know exactly how many days it would take to prepare. Without integrating the skills, the sinking force couldn't be reduced, and integrating the complex skills was undoubtedly a huge project.

While merging things quickly is easy, optimizing and improving them is much more difficult.

Su Yue replied again: 【I'm not in a rush, you can take your time.】

Upon seeing this message, Xia Shou felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He gave a casual reply, saying he had to go to work, and ended the hurried conversation.

Meanwhile, Su Yue, far away in the Möbius Canyon, put down her phone with a heavy heart after seeing Xia Shou's reply.

Su Yue opened her palm and stared at the "Ten Years Later Necklace" in her hand, feeling nervous and flustered.

I'll be summoned ten years from now.

Will I be recognized by Brother Xia Shou then?
Although she always wore paper bags on her dates, she didn't try to disguise her figure, so her body shape could easily be recognized.

Moreover, Brother Xia Shou will definitely discover that Yun Xiao's voice is exactly the same as hers ten years later.

Oh no, I'm sure I'll be recognized!
The thought of this filled Su Yue with despair.

She could almost imagine how she would chat with Xia Shou after she traveled back in time ten years from now. She might even tell Xia Shou about the little tricks she was playing now, just like a middle-aged man reminiscing about his naive student days, about the silly but funny things he did, and how he would talk about skipping classes and having puppy love.

Su Yue held her head in her hands, her eyes fixed on the necklace on the table. The more she tried not to think about this hopeless future, the more it felt like a high wall was rapidly pressing in, suffocating her.

She even began to experience auditory hallucinations out of thin air, the voices being her own voice from ten years in the future, speaking in a mocking tone, saying the things she would say to Xia Shou.

"Brother Xia Shou, I was actually quite clever back then. I used the Ten Years Later Necklace to transform my body into what it looks like ten years from now, and went to that hotel with you under the alias Yun Xiao. It was really hard to pretend back then."

"Huh? You mean we look like completely different people? Don't make fun of me, it's all an act, because you said you like my innocent look."

"Before using my blind eye, I remember being very nervous and apprehensive. She probably thought that the person ten years from now would be the same person and would definitely help her keep it a secret. But actually, I've already been through it all, so it's not a big deal and there's nothing to hide."

"Hmm? You're asking what I was thinking at that time? Hehe, I remember back then all I could think about was how to marry you."

Su Yue's eyes were vacant, and her heart was filled with even more despair. She began to pin her hopes on self-hypnosis, muttering to herself, "I beg you, ten years from now, just pretend I'm a clueless child and grant me this plea. If you don't help me, I will really kill myself in front of Brother Xia Shou."

She tried to convince herself that the person she would be ten years from now was the most likely version of herself, so she forced herself to feel pity for her past self.

She began to recall herself at eight years old, putting herself in that person's shoes. What was her dream at eight? Was it to learn the piano? Was she determined to become a piano master?

Ah, it was indeed a naive idea. Now she no longer thinks about this unrealistic dream. Becoming a piano master is not something that can be done just by wanting to. Everyone's talent has its limits. Right now, her piano skills are just a bonus label for her idol.

So, Su Yue, are you going to try to persuade your eight-year-old self to give up on your dreams? To face reality early on?

No! You can't do that. You need to care for her, respect her naive ideas, and fulfill her wishes and expectations. How you respond to your past self is how you will respond to yourself ten years from now.

Su Yue hypnotized herself in her mind, trying to use this method to obtain the assistance of her future self ten years later.

"Ten years from now, please, during the time you're about to be summoned, please disguise yourself a bit. Use some sealing material to slightly alter your voice so he can't recognize you. Also, bind your chest tightly and wear a suit of armor so no one can see your figure!"
"Please, I'm begging you, I'm kowtowing to you. I am you, I am you when you were young. You will definitely help me, right?" Su Yue actually knelt down in the room and kowtowed to the air.

Before she had even kowtowed a few times, Su Yue felt like she was a complete idiot, not only in her thoughts but also in her actions.

But when she thinks that she thinks this way now, she'll think even more the same way ten years from now, since her current thoughts are what she'll experience ten years from now.

She now disregards these prayers and pleas, and ten years from now she will care even less. She might even despise her current actions, just as someone might despise their dark past.

Right, we should pursue them for their own benefit!

No, that's impossible. The future me will have enjoyed everything I could, so I won't care what the future me thought. Maybe that bitch will even take the opportunity to have sex with Brother Xia Shou in ten minutes, and while she's swaying her hips, she'll tell Brother Xia Shou about how she disguised herself as Yun Xiao ten years ago as a snack!
"You...you filthy bitch!" Su Yue cursed through gritted teeth, momentarily forgetting that it was herself.

Once this thought takes hold, it becomes even more uncontrollable.

The more she tried to put herself in the other person's shoes, the more she felt that the other person might do that, because only she knew herself best, and she knew that she was actually a woman without any bottom line.

However, there are only ten minutes. Ten minutes shouldn't be enough time, right? After all, there are more important matters to attend to, such as killing the Heart of the Rift King.

With this in mind, Su Yue's anxiety immediately lessened considerably.

"Why don't we just swear an oath to the Crescent Moon! Let's make a ten-year confidentiality pledge!" Su Yue's eyes lit up.

There's no need to keep it a secret; all you need to do is make a promise. The Crescent Moon is the god of promises and keeping secrets. As long as you make a promise that you will do this and prepare in this way in the future, you can avoid being exposed this time.

So... the solution was that simple.

"That's all right now. You were just scaring yourself." Su Yue took a deep breath, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

That's right, just find a ritual for a waning moon, let's get started now.

Su Yue tidied her messy hair, sat back down at the computer, logged into the Bureau of Control's website, selected "Ritual" in the file category, and then entered her requirements.
