Liu Ke did not pause again because of the system's prompt, because he realized that he was also being targeted.

This road is one of the optional roads from the dormitory building to the bathhouse. It is narrow and small, and there are few people.

There were red plastic ground with several-meter-high evergreen trees planted on both sides, but the two people walking in front of them seemed to have more vitality than the evergreen trees.

In the scans of the artificial eyes, their muscle activity is completely inconsistent with their handsome body shape, and is no less than that of a muscular man.

One of them was a woman with long straight black hair and a baseball cap. Her eyes were clear and pure, and her skin was very white, but her body was slovenly, stained with unknown dirt and smelled like vegetable soup.

The other was an old man. Although he looked tired and sick, his steps were as vigorous as pine and cypress.

And these two people are paying attention to themselves.

Is it because of Zhang Chulan just now?

Liu Ke's eyeballs have been artificially modified, allowing him to manipulate his gaze. Without regard for accuracy, he can even disguise his gaze by looking left while actually looking right.

In order to avoid trouble, Liu Ke kept stealing glances at them and passed by them.

"What's wrong, Wu?"

Xu Xiang looked at Feng Baobao who suddenly turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, I just felt like that kid was staring at me."

After listening to this, Xu Xiang turned around and looked. The male college student, who was about 1.8 meters tall and wearing slippers, was carrying a bath bag and looked like he was going to take a shower. There was nothing special about him.

I stared for a while, but didn't find anything unusual.

“He’s just an ordinary guy.”

"Well, this kid has never practiced Qi."

After a pause, Feng Baobao continued, "There's something wrong with my head and eyes."

Hearing this, Xu Xiang turned around and looked at the student a few more times, but finally shook his head and said, "Awu, time is tight this time, so let's go observe Zhang Chulan first."

Feng Baobao turned around and nodded.

The two continued walking forward.

"Baby Zhang, Baby Wang, Baby Li."

At this time, Liu Ke was looking at the results collected by AI in his mind.

He had just scanned the faces of the two people, and the results of the analysis were very unusual.

The old man was the manager of a courier company I had never heard of, so he was quite normal.

That woman was very strange.

After hacking into the relevant department's network, Blackwall conducted a precise search using the woman's appearance, only to find over a dozen people. All of these individuals had ID cards with the woman's identical profile pictures on the department's network.

What’s even more ridiculous is that these people’s names are all in the format of “X Baby”.

Liu Ke raised the corner of his mouth and searched the accommodation records of each "baby" again, but found none.

I searched the travel records again and found something this time.

"Sichuan.Shandong"

Several of the identities had flight records showing travel in these two provinces, but these travel records alone could not explain anything and no useful information could be extracted.

The only thing we know is that this woman has an unusually large number of fake identities and is also able to cause "world changes."

When Liu Ke arrived at the bathhouse, he sat in the tub, thinking as he showered. This shower took over half an hour and cost him dozens of yuan. After he dried himself, he bought a popsicle and put it in his mouth.

The cause and effect points that had not changed in three years had increased so much just because of meeting these three people.

And that baby and the old man were obviously following Zhang Chulan secretly.

Zhang Chulan? Why does it sound so familiar?

Liu Ke thought for a long time, leaving so many popsicle sticks scattered all over the floor, but he still couldn't remember who this person was. He had no choice but to pat his butt and wander back to the dormitory along the way he came.

When he entered the dormitory, he found that several of his roommates were busy.

One was on the balcony, crying, probably breaking up with his girlfriend again. The remaining two were sitting cross-legged on the bed, discussing the anime world.

"Why don't you understand? Wang Kang, that Chinese comic is shit!"

"Tian Zuo, you should wake up! Japanese anime is about to decay!"

"So what? Just look at this year's adaptations of 'The Retreating Dwarf' and 'Hokkaido Ghoul', which one wasn't well-made? Not to mention nationally-rated manga like 'Death of Fire and Sea'!"

"Japanese anime are all about bloodlines, you know? What's the point of the protagonist being born aristocrat? If you ask me, you might as well watch Fox Spirit Matchmaker and Soul Land. Those two are going to be adapted into anime soon, and they suit the physique of Chinese babies. My destiny is in my own hands!"

"Stop talking nonsense! You're still expecting domestic production? In the end, they'll just make Boonie Bears!"

Actually, the quality of the Boonie Bears movie is quite good, Liu Ke thought to himself.

But the discussion between these two crazy roommates could easily erase the great truth, so he was not prepared to participate.

But contrary to expectations, when two people quarrel, they often like to find a third party to judge.

"Liu Ke, please tell me which one has a bright future, Japanese or Chinese animation?" asked the fat boy with glasses, Wang Kang.

Liu Ke curled his lips and said perfunctorily, "Guomai, please."

"Look, what did I say? The people have sharp eyes!" Wang Kang shouted loudly, and excitedly shouted down all the water bottles on the table.

Li Tianzuo was incredulous, and tremblingly pointed at the jacket that Liu Ke was wearing, the same style as Shirou Emiya's, and said, "You, don't you also read Japanese anime? Don't you read Fate? Where are your beliefs?"

Liu Ke leaned over to pick up the bottle, put it back on the table, and said, "Fate is actually a novel. And I pay more attention to the plot. The quality of Japanese comics has really declined."

In the past few years, the adaptations have been all about other world-style and dungeon-style novels, which are not even as good as the fifth-rate domestic online novels. It can only be said that the quality of the comics is so bad that the investors feel there is no need to animate them.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Besides, movies like 'The Little Matchmaker' and 'Soul Land' are quite interesting to watch."

"And that more famous one, what's it called? Oh, right! One for each!"

After Liu Ke finished speaking, the three other people, including himself, fell into confusion. For a moment, only his roommate on the balcony was still sobbing.

Wang Kang frowned, thinking for a long time but still couldn't remember. He couldn't help but ask for advice: "Liu Ke, is this "One Person, One Second" you're talking about a Chinese comic? How is it? Is it good?"

Liu Ke, like Bao Zheng finding inspiration, muttered to himself, "'One Man Under One'. No, it should be 'Under One Person', right? The protagonist of this comic is called Zhang Chulan, right?"

Zhang Chulan? Zhang Chulan! Yes, that's his name!

The protagonist of the popular anime "Under One Person" in the previous life!

Liu Ke has not watched "Under One Person", but he saw it when the work was at its peak.

He didn't remember many plots, only those he had seen in videos such as "Don't Be Bilian", "One for Each", and "Old Man Pushing a Cart".

He pinched his chin and thought for a while, and seemed to remember something.

The "old man pushing the cart" seemed to be the one used by a guy called 'Sister Bao' and Zhang Chulan when they practiced martial arts.

So this "Sister Baoer" is the baby with a bunch of fake identities that I met when I went to the bathhouse just now?

Thinking of this, Liu Ke's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Li Tianzuo was shocked when he saw his expression: "Lao Ke, why are you still angry?"

Liu Ke shook his head, bit his tongue, and said, "Nothing."

He wasn't angry, he just felt a little uncomfortable. He had always believed that he was a reborn script, still carrying the system. Although the good life had not yet arrived, it was not too far away.

But the Zhang Chulan and the baby I met today brought a different direction to the world. He might not be reborn, but traveled through time.

If it were just the same name, it would be nothing, perhaps a coincidence. However, the increase in causal points suggests that these people can influence "world change." In other words, they may be the protagonists, indirectly confirming the theory of time travel.

Seeing that Liu Ke was silent, his two roommates started discussing among themselves.

Until the balcony door opened, their other roommate Kong Xin came out from the small balcony, his face covered with tears and trembling like a sieve.

This Kong Xin was usually a cheerful, two-meter-tall kid. What was wrong with him now? He looked timid and frightened, his face pale.

"what happened?"

Liu Ke couldn't help but ask. His worldview had collapsed today, but even so, he didn't look as miserable as Kong Xin.

"nothing."

Kong Xin shuddered and mumbled a reply. Then, with a creaking sound, the large figure climbed onto the bed and lay down. In a flash, he turned again, facing the wall, and covered himself with the quilt.

Liu Ke and the other two looked at each other, all of them feeling something was wrong. The way she was crying and the expression on her face just now definitely couldn't be caused by a simple 'breakup'.

Even a three-year-old child could see that Kong Xin was afraid.

Liu Ke raised an eyebrow at Wang Kang, who understood. He then stood by Kong Xin's bed, nudged him, and said, "Hey, hey! We're roommates. We'll be together for four years. We're all buddies. If you have anything to say, just tell us. Why are you hiding in Bikini Bottom? Three heads can do more than one. We three brothers will figure it out for you."

".It's okay, thank you, it's really okay."

Liu Ke narrowed his eyes as he looked at Kong Xin lying on the bed. His roommate was clearly terrified by a phone call. He could hack into the network and figure out who had just called him, but...

Unlike Zhang Chulan and others who can provide causal points, Kong Xin is just an ordinary person.

It's not very moral to 'steal' secrets from such people.

Seeing Kong Xin's obviously bad mood, the people in the dormitory turned off the lights early, hoping that the darkness would comfort him.

Late at night, Liu Ke's two anime-geek roommates soon dreamed of the two-dimensional goddess, while Liu Ke relied on the hot dance of the anchor in the borderline video to reshape his worldview until he felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep.

Then I heard a WeChat notification sound.

The sound came from Kong Xin's bed. Then, a choking sound of someone unable to breathe came, and then he started crying again.

Scratching his head, Liu Ke closed his eyes and checked the time through the network in his mind. It was already 2 a.m. and he was a little annoyed at being woken up.

So what if it's immoral? Thinking this, he gave orders to the AI.

"Black Wall, I want his call and WeChat records."

"Okay, master."

Two breaths later, Black Wall projected the content he needed into his brain. After a quick look, his expression became serious.

Kong Xin didn't have many WeChat chats, and only a few today. Just now, he received a WeChat message from someone he'd labeled "mother."

"You're playing tricks on me, right? Now your father, your mother, your sister, your whole family is in our hands!"

"If you don't want them to die, come here tomorrow at 10 o'clock."
