I'll give my daughter one more second.

The guy attracted by his physique went completely mad and was tortured for about half a day before his mother and Zi rescued him.

It has to be said that while yandere characters may seem appealing, experiencing them firsthand reveals that it's not like that at all.

People who actually have younger sisters are not necessarily siscon (brother complex), well... except for German orthopedic surgeons, you know there are always a few exceptions in the world.

"I always felt that my dad had a tough childhood."

"Pretty much, anyway, I'm basically in the middle of being abducted or about to be abducted." Wu Shen shrugged.

If it weren't for the protection of his family and Zi, it's uncertain whether he would have survived to adulthood.

While other people's childhoods are filled with youth, games, and happiness, Wu Shen's childhood can be summarized as a super-horror fusion of "Outlast," "Silent Hill," "Junji Ito," "Ring," "Ju-on," and many other similar works.

For this reason, Wu Shen has always been extremely cautious about anything involving his physical condition.

"You can really rest assured, Dad. After all, I'm a high-class time traveler. I've tested this kind of thing many times in other futures. You'll feel as safe as if you were sitting on a big ship!"

"What you're saying sounds like a boat is about to capsize."

"Let's use another analogy: it's like an experienced driver navigating a series of hairpin bends with perfect stability!"

"Won't this still lead to a crash?"

"By the way, speaking of which, Miling, won't my constitution interfere with your health?"

Wu Shen glanced at Wei Ling, who was floating in mid-air. She seemed to possess some rather peculiar abilities, which, as far as he knew, were not within the control of the Wu family.

"There's no need to worry about that. Unlike Yunying, who is a half-demon, although her mother is a living god, her race and genes are genuine human."

People mistakenly believed that the miracles performed by the shrine maiden through the power of the gods were due to the shrine maiden's own power, and thus developed faith in the shrine maiden, a state known as the "manifestation of a god."

"However, judging from Grandpa's research progress, I feel that Mom won't be a living god for much longer. When that happens, I'll just have to learn Grandpa's new programming language step by step. Waaah, I hate learning QWQ."

"Can't be a god in the present world anymore? Why?" Wu Shen frowned slightly.

"Because I feel that Grandpa is almost completely mastering a theoretical system and has explored the corresponding principles. Once the principles are understood, the mystery is dispelled, and naturally there will be no more faith. This is what is called removing the fuel from under the fire," Wei Ling muttered to herself as she floated in mid-air.

"In ancient times there was a sun god, but Dad, have you ever seen a god of nuclear fusion? In ancient times there were wind gods and thunder gods, but Dad, have you ever seen a god of aerodynamics or a god of electromagnetism?"

"Hmm...that does seem to be the case."

The arrival of a new era always excites everyone, but only the remnants of the old era show a smile that gradually fades away.

Yukari must have sensed this trend, which is why she established Gensokyo in an attempt to survive.

After a heated debate, and after much persuasion and numerous safety precautions, Wu Shen finally reluctantly agreed to her plan.

Meanwhile, while Wu Shen and Wei Ling were arguing, Sanae had calmed down and came over after seeing Wei Ling and Wu Shen finish discussing their plan.

"Mirin told me the whole plan last night. I'll cooperate with it too, and I'll wait for you on the rooftop tonight," Sanae said calmly.

Wu Shen finally understood why Sanae had invited him to the rooftop that evening; it turned out she had this ulterior motive.

"Sanae, are you really sure it's okay? Accepting confessions from three people at the same time..." Wu Shen seemed a little guilty.

"What other problem could there be? You've done it so many times in real life. If I really wanted to back down and give up, why would I be so persistent in real life? There's a limit to how stubborn you can be, okay?" Sanae complained, blushing.

Wu Shen scratched his head, wondering what kind of reply he should give to appear gentlemanly without feeling awkward.

I'm so sorry, I owe you so much.

No, no, that feels a bit pretentious.

I want them all! You are all my wings!

No, no, this feels too scumbag.

After a brief silence, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward and ambiguous.

"Anyway, see you on the rooftop tonight!" Before Wu Shen could think of what to say, Sanae had already said goodbye hastily, pushed open the rooftop door, and hurriedly fled the scene in a flustered and disheveled manner.

"Dad, good luck tonight! I believe in you!" Wei Ling said, waving her little hand as she floated towards the door.

"Wait! Can't we discuss this again? Do all three of us have to go together? Can't we do it one at a time?"

“No, that won’t work. Yunying is very wary now. If we come one by one, she won’t show herself at all. And if the three of us split up, I won’t be able to track all three of us at the same time. Only a large enough bait like this can catch Yunying, this big fish.”

After Mirin and Sanae left, only Wu Shen remained on the rooftop, enjoying the cool breeze.

To be honest, Wu Shen is completely panicked right now. Although he's quite skilled at it, he used to handle things one by one. Now, he's recklessly confessing to three people at the same time, and Wu Shen feels like he could easily mess things up.

[Sorry, something unexpected happened yesterday, I just got home at 7 pm. I'll write this chapter and post it right away, now I'm going to sleep.orz]

Chapter 996 A Defeater Leaps Over the Dragon Gate

"Does it end when school ends in the evening? If so, I'll have a whole day to think of a solution."

Wu Shen leaned against the entrance to the rooftop and fell into deep thought.

Future loser, light sphere, Yun Ying, new daughter, three time loops... Wu Shen sorted through the information Wei Ling had told him before, and reorganized this huge amount of information in his mind.

"If Yunying is the sphere of light, then why did she have to sacrifice herself?"

Sacrificing oneself is never something that can be done easily.

Yun Ying must have had some reason for doing this.

According to Wu Shen's deduction, it's probably because there's some irreconcilable conflict between Yun Ying and the other daughters' futures, to the point where it's either you or me, or me or her.

The key question now is what exactly this contradiction is. This is something Wu Shen and his team still don't know.

Could it be because of Yukari Yakumo? Wu Shen originally thought this was very likely, but ever since he learned that Mirin had been born in his and Yukari's future, he understood that the problem probably did not lie with Yukari.

Although Zi's personality and temperament are somewhat unpredictable, she hasn't gone so far as to want to kill off her other daughters.

Since Yunying chose to sacrifice herself, it proves that, from her perspective, there is no other way to resolve this conflict.

"This is really a headache. After thinking about it, I've come full circle back to the very beginning. Just as Wei Ling said, the quickest way to find out what the contradiction is is to ask Yun Ying directly."

"There's no other way. Although it's a bit of a stretch to fight against three, I have to bite the bullet and go for it in order to lure Yunying away."

No, no, how can a father disciplining his daughter be called abduction?

If you don't scratch an itch for three days, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. If we can capture Yunying this time, we must pry all her secrets out of her little mouth.

Otherwise, if we know nothing like this, we won't even be able to come up with a decent strategy to deal with the unknown future.

I never heard from Wei Ling that in the last reincarnation, everyone did their best to stop Yun Ying from sacrificing herself. Although they succeeded in saving her, all the other daughters disappeared without a trace, resulting in a total wipeout.

Only Wei Ling survived because of her special circumstances, gathering strength to start over next time.

"Phew, I have a day to think carefully about how to proceed."

After thinking it over, Wu Shen turned to leave the rooftop, but as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Sanae and her daughter Misuzu.

"Huh? Didn't you already go back? Why are you back again?" Wu Shen looked at the mother and daughter at the door, puzzled.

"Dad, this is a dream created by Yunying. She set it up so that time would flow faster when class starts. At this rate, there will be only one or two minutes left before school ends."

Wei Ling pointed to the sky, and Wu Shen looked up and saw that the sun was indeed moving at a visible speed. In an instant, time jumped from noon to afternoon.

The time Wu Shen spent thinking earlier happened to be during those few breaks between classes when the flow of time was normal.

"What kind of weird setting is this?!"

"After all, the original purpose of this dream was to develop a romantic relationship. How can you have a romantic relationship if you're always in class and studying? What if Dad gets so engrossed in studying that he can't break free? Isn't that the purpose of many anime and novels that skip the class and homework sessions?" Miling explained patiently.

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

"So, in just a few minutes, we'll be meeting on the rooftop tonight!?" Wu Shen looked frantic.

I was originally planning to think things through carefully, even if it meant cramming at the last minute. But now it looks like I'll have to improvise again.

"To be precise, there are still 1 minute and 34 seconds left. By the way, Yui and Yumiko have already started going up to the 12th step on the second floor."

"Oh, if that's the case, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Yueyin said that after having Dad practice so many times before, he is now very experienced and skilled at handling this kind of situation. Rather than being told in advance, improvisation is more likely to bring out Dad's acting skills."

"Can Yueyin even cause trouble in her dreams?" Wu Shen was on the verge of tears.

Just as Wu Shen and Wei Ling were talking, the sound of two people's footsteps became clearer and clearer as they approached the doorway outside the rooftop.

What to do? Feeling the hellish scene closing in on him, Wu Shen looked around at his helpless surroundings and cold sweat poured down his face.

"Tonight is the final choice." Yui's voice could be faintly heard from outside the door.

"Yes, today is the last day," Miura said calmly, completely lacking his usual carefree demeanor.

"Yumiko, do you think it's too cunning of us to just throw all the difficult problems and the most agonizing choices at Wu Shen, while we ourselves run away and choose the easiest way out?"

"Hmph, so what if we dump him on him? Have you forgotten how many girls he was juggling last time? If we let him continue like this, who knows how many more girls he'll ruin."

"You mean it's okay if I cause trouble for you guys?" Wu Shen couldn't help but think to himself from inside the door.

"I really don't understand. Wu Shen is such a devoted person, so why was he so monstrous last time?" Yui said, puzzled.

“Yes…” Miura nodded.

Yui and Miura, both having experienced the "loser" phase of life, deeply understand this. If Wu Shen had been as shameless as before, how could they have ended up as "losers" in the first place?

Yui's situation is probably a bit better, because before the nearly broken Yui could even begin her operation, Wu Shen and Yukino eloped back to their country. Meanwhile, on the other side, after learning of Utaha's success, Miura was unwilling to give up and continued his operation, which basically involved stripping her naked and seducing her, but Wu Shen remained calm and refused him.

The contrast is too great; it doesn't make any sense at all. What factors caused Wu Shen to suddenly unleash his inner demons and transform into a lewd monster?

This is something that the "losers" can't understand at all. Only the winners of the initial path in life know the real reason.

"Yumiko, after today, no matter who Wu Shen chooses, will we still be friends?" Halfway down the stairs, Yui suddenly stopped, lowered her head and asked softly.

"..." Miura also stopped, turning his body to the side so his expression couldn't be seen.

She wanted to nod in agreement, but who could say for sure? Humans are not entirely rational beings and cannot control all their emotions. And jealousy most easily exposes the ugliness deep within a person's heart.

When you see your best friend and the person you like getting close, can you really look at them the same way you used to?

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Some things, once taken, can never be reversed.

Is there really no way to solve this problem? Miura felt very heavy-hearted.
