Chapter 263 Confession...

"Don't try to get away with this." Xin Nian pulled out a baseball bat and poked Xiao Jinzhi's shoulder. "Let's start from the beginning."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her innocently, "How about... you give me a little reminder?"

Xin Nian chuckled. The brat was trying to act cute.

Unfortunately, she wasn't buying it!
Xin Nian pounced on him and started punching him without saying a word, "You've got guts, haven't you, Fatty! You're putting on an act right in front of me, aren't you?"

"I knew your superpower looked familiar."

If Little Fatty lived in modern times, his superpower would be very practical, similar to a shadow ability, which allows him to create countless phantoms to fight together.

This kid was lying to them from beginning to end, saying what this was.

"You have the ability to create clones, huh? I'll show you how to fool me!" Xin Nian punched Xiao Jinzhi's head through the blanket.

The crucial point is that their entire squad actually believed it!

I particularly admired his ability to create clones; it seemed quite useful.

What do-cloning ability? It's just time projection!
Xiao Jinzhi covered his head and begged for mercy, "I really don't remember. Niannian, let me explain."

"Go on," Xin Nian said, pulling him out from under the thin blanket, her eyes shining brightly.

Xiao Jinzhi said with a wronged expression, "I don't know what that clone... projection is all about."

"Look me in the eyes and say that again!"

"I swear!" Xiao Jinzhi looked at her pitifully, "I also think it's very strange. You saw that projection too, right? It looks completely different from me."

Xin Nian glanced at him suspiciously, pointed at him with her little finger, and squinted, "You mean, you don't know what's going on with this projection either?"

Xiao Jinzhi, both amused and exasperated, grasped her finger and answered honestly and sincerely, "Actually, time travel has its drawbacks. Sometimes the memories aren't very coherent... you know what I mean?"

Xin Nian tilted her head to look at him, her face expressionless. "You don't have even a single memory of modern times?"

"Yes... I guess so!" Xiao Jinzhi replied weakly.

"What do you mean by 'yes'?" Yes means yes, no means no. This brat isn't going to fool her anymore!
"It's some novel things that Nian Nian brought out. I... I think I remember them. I should be able to use them."

Xin Nian glanced at him sideways, then suddenly pulled out her phone and tossed it to him.

Xiao Jinzhi hurriedly grabbed it, swiped his face for a while, and looked weakly at Xin Nian, "This... why can't I get in?"

Xin Nian suddenly punched him, "Why can't I get in? Do you look the same as before? How can you look the same? Can you even get in by facial recognition?"

Xiao Jinzhi obediently entered the password, and then... entered the main interface. He then secretly glanced up at Xin Nian, and didn't dare to say anything.

Great, this kid can even operate his own phone.

Xin Nian grinned her little steel teeth and chuckled mischievously, "Little Fatty, I haven't welcomed you back to the team yet!"

"No, no need to welcome me." Xiao Jinzhi waved his hand weakly, glancing at her with a slightly uncertain look in his eyes. "Niannian, we used to be teammates."

Seeing the girl's sharp eyes sweep over him, Xiao Jinzhi quickly added, "I... I knew we were destined to be together! That's why I always felt an instant connection with you, right?"

Xin Nian chuckled, and Xiao Jinzhi immediately fell silent.

"When exactly did you meet me? Tell me yourself."

Xiao Jinzhi said softly, "Well, as I mentioned before. When you were ten years old, we were..."

"You're making this up again!" How is this making things up? It's a complete statement of fact!
Xiao Jinzhi looked at her pitifully, then suddenly a thought struck him, "You mean in your hometown? How old were we back then? Twenty... in our early twenties?"

Xin Nian's hands itched to punch this guy again, "Don't play dumb with me. I mean when you were four or five years old, five! Do you remember? In the Northern Yan royal court, who taught you strange arts back then?"

Xiao Jinzhi's phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, as if raging flames were burning within them.

"It's you?" He looked as if he had just realized something. It was as if decades of mystery had suddenly been dispelled by her guidance.

"Niannian, have we known each other for so long?"

Looking at him, Xin Nian thought he didn't seem to be faking it...

"You don't remember?"

"Ah... I remember. It's just vague, I can't quite recall the fairy sister's face. Niannian, you're that fairy sister, aren't you?"

Xin Nian threw his hand away, stared intently at him, and suddenly grabbed his face, asking, "Are you wearing some kind of human skin mask?"

Xiao Jinzhi reached out and pulled her close, smiling as he said, "I... I'll tell you the truth."

"So all that you said before was just nonsense, not a single word was true?" Xin Nian's fist hardened.

"No. I was just speculating. My special ability... well, it's not very stable, as you've seen."

"It's quite normal for a shape to change occasionally when traversing through multiple dimensions of time and space."

What's normal about it?

So many projections are exactly the same, what's wrong, did they just mutate from wearing modern clothes?

But then again... previous projections might never have crossed parallel universes. This is equivalent to rapid travel between dimensions; blurred memories and changes in form are also possible, right?
Furthermore, after he went to a parallel universe, he did indeed materialize.

Therefore, for the modern Xiao Jinzhi, that was not actually his projection, but rather he truly used a time loophole to cross dimensions.

"Didn't you lie to me?"

Xiao Jinzhi quickly raised three fingers, "I swear! Every word I said is absolutely true."

Xin Nian rubbed his face like a dough ball, "How can someone make such a big mistake? You're a quiet guy who's always been quiet, but when you do speak up, you're amazing."

"We were worried about you these past few days, wondering where you'd gone. Turns out you're really something, living the high life in our ranks without letting a word slip!"

"I truly don't remember," the latter said helplessly. "I swear! If I remembered you, wouldn't I have recognized you long ago?"

Xin Nian couldn't help but slap him, "Recognize me? How can you recognize me like this! Look at yourself, and then look at Little Fatty, are you even yourself? How can my parents believe that you are Little Fatty?"

"That's easy! Just tell them that something went wrong when I was trying to comprehend my superpower this time, the original owner of this body died, and Little Fatty transmigrated here!"

Xin Nian opened her mouth, stared at him for a long time, and then asked, "What if they ask why we all died at the same time, and everyone else arrived at about the same time, but you... were so far apart?"

"That's even simpler! Just tell them that Little Fatty has been waiting in line for someone whose magnetic field matches his, and now that he's finally found someone, he'll rush over to join everyone!"

Xin Nian punched him in the chest, "You can just spout lies like that!"

Believe him!
This doesn't seem very reliable at all.

"Once you start lying, you'll have to use countless lies to cover it up!"

Xin Nian jumped down from the ground. "I think it would be better to tell them the actual situation."
