What's the point of playing a game if there's no Teleport Anchor?

Seeing that Irena was still heartbroken, Chen Luo opened the bar.

Yes, the bar doors opened in mid-air.

As Chen Luo looked at the gate opening in the air, he found it increasingly strange.

When Chen Luo returned to the bar, he didn't see anyone else. After all, an hour had passed, and Elysia and the others should have already gone home.

"Sigh, I'm all alone again." Chen Luo sighed as he walked back behind the bar.

"Bang!" The door to the next bar was kicked open.

"Chen Luo, you actually left me alone in that wretched place!" Herrscher of Knowledge said angrily.

"... Uh, let me explain." Chen Luo opened his mouth, trying to argue.

"I won't listen. Open the gate to the Elysian Realm right now, I'm going to the Elysian Realm to play, I'm not going to keep you company. I'm so angry!" The Herrscher of Knowledge said to Chen Luo unhappily.

"..."

After resetting the Bar Door opening position for the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo watched the Herrscher of Knowledge leave, confirming that he was now alone.

"Great, I can finally calm down and study the dolls!" After the Herrscher of Knowledge left, Chen Luo showed no sadness whatsoever.

What woman finds a doll fun?

The more Chen Luo studied puppets, the more he realized that there were no limits to puppetry.

Even the Fate Threads can be considered a line; it's getting more and more absurd the more you think about it.

"Ding-a-ling!" Just as Chen Luo took out the Soul Tear Drop that his future self had left him to study, the wind chimes rang.

"Oh, Irena, what's wrong? Not sad anymore? And didn't you only have one hat?" Chen Luo took a special look at the hat on Irena's head as she walked in from outside the bar.

If Chen Luo remembers correctly, his mother-in-law... cough cough, Irena's mother only gave the other party two identical hats, right?

It seems that Irena's other hat was given to Saya.

So why does Irena have a third hat?

"Hmm?" Irena stopped looking around the bar and turned to Chen Luo.

"What's wrong? Oh, remember to take this hat with you." Chen Luo said as he placed Irena's hat on the bar.

"Who... are you?" Irena looked at the boy with a strange expression. He called her name as soon as they met, pretending to be very familiar with her, and even took out a hat that was exactly the same as hers.

"???"

Chapter 295 Irena: rnm, stranger!

"Senior Irena, what's wrong? Senior Irena, you haven't lost your memory because of excessive grief, have you?" After being confused for a moment, Chen Luo was even more confused.

Chen Luo quickly walked out from behind the bar and stood in front of Irena, looking Irena up and down.

"Uh... can you stay away from me? Thank you, I really don't know you. Are you sure you're not mistaken... emmm..." Irena was startled by Chen Luo's concern and took a half step back.

But Irena also felt that Chen Luo didn't seem to have any ill intentions and was genuinely concerned.

But I really don't know the other person.

Although Irena really wanted to ask if you had mistaken me for someone else, seeing that the other person could call her by name and that the other person had taken out her hat, Irena felt that something was wrong.

What's going on?

Didn't I give my other hat to Saya?

How did it end up in their hands?

That's not right either.

Although her two hats used to look exactly the same to outsiders, Irena could tell the subtle differences. But the other person's hat was different; the hat in the other person's hand seemed to be hers after all.

So the question is, what kind of hat is on your head?

"Emmm, okay, I mistook you for someone else." Chen Luo stared at Irena carefully, and after realizing that there was no Fate Threads between them, he realized he had mistaken her for someone else. He then turned around and went back to the bar.

Of course, we have it now.

Since the two had met, their fates were naturally intertwined.

With the Destiny Ability, it becomes quite easy to tell who is who.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't be so dismissive." This time it was Irena's turn to stop Chen Luo.

This situation clearly indicates that something is wrong.

"I'm sorry, I really mistook you for someone else." Chen Luo quietly put the big hat into his backpack and walked back to the bar.

"So, sir, is there anything you need?" Chen Luo asked Irena, adopting the demeanor of a bar owner.

"I need you to explain what just happened clearly now." Irena took two steps forward, walked to the bar seat, thought for a moment, and then sat down.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Explanation]: To explain clearly the series of events that just happened.

Reward: 50 Primogem

Difficulty: One star

"An explanation? The explanation is that I really mistook you for someone else just now," Chen Luo said sincerely. To be precise, Chen Luo mistook Irena for someone else.

Although the two Irena looked exactly alike, fate answered Chen Luo's doubts; Chen Luo had made a mistake, and that was that.

"What kind of explanation is that? Why do you have my hat? And why do you know me? I don't remember ever seeing you before, and I've never heard of such a strange bar appearing in the wilderness," Irena said, recalling the bar's appearance.

"..."

Chen Luo glanced at his assigned task and found that there was no response at all, so he knew that he couldn't fool anyone like this anymore.

I clearly explained to her that I had mistaken her for someone else, so why doesn't that count as completing the task?

Ugh, this is so troublesome.

"The truth is, you might not believe it, but just now, I saw another Irena. Don't be afraid, I'm not saying there's another you in the world, but that I saw you in another timeline." Chen Luo thought about it carefully and decided it was better to tell Irena the truth.

Chen Luo suddenly realized that he could have the current Irena comfort the Irena from before.

Although Irena is greedy, narcissistic, and sharp-tongued, Irena is indeed a good girl with a kind heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have felt sad and helpless because of the situation between Estelle and Serena.

In the world of Wandering Witch, the existence of different timelines is not particularly strange, just as Estelle was able to explain the specifics of time constraints.

So perhaps Irena will be able to accept this theory soon.

Furthermore, if you think about it carefully, is it possible that the Irena who just arrived at the bar is the same Irena from the timeline that Chen Luo and his team created, the one without Serena?

Although it may be small, it is not non-existent.

To be honest, this bar is a bit too amazing.

"What you're saying is even more bizarre than the idea that there's another me in the world," Irena retorted.

"But the problem is that I did just go on a trip with you from another timeline, and you, as a senior Traveler, gave me three pieces of advice," Professor Chen Luo replied.

"Oh, three pieces of advice?" Irena's heart skipped a beat.

If the other party has their own hat, it's possible they copied it using a copying ability. But if the other party truly knows those three pieces of advice, it means they have indeed met you in person.

After all, no one else knew those three pieces of advice except for himself and his parents.

"First, if you encounter danger, you must escape."

"Second, do not consider yourself special, and do not forget that you are just like everyone else."

"Third, don't forget to go home and see your parents after your trip."

"Although these three points are completely useless to me."

After giving those three pieces of advice, Chen Luo added one more sentence.

"How could that be? My three pieces of advice are quite sound," Irena retorted immediately.

Although Irena knew from those three sentences that the other person might have actually seen her in another timeline, she felt it necessary to prove the accuracy and authority of her three pieces of advice.

"Because although we are both Traveler, our purposes for traveling are different. Your travel is about gradually appreciating the scenery along the way. My travel is about going to countless worlds to fulfill the wishes of others, and traveling along the way. So in a sense, it's about rushing to the rescue when trouble comes my way," Chen Luo said helplessly.

Chen Luo felt like he was being taken advantage of, but the problem was that without conflicts there would be no commissions, and without commissions, Chen Luo couldn't earn Primogem.

In short, Chen Luo's life was destined to be one of hard work.

What reassured Chen Luo was that although Chen Luo was bound to get into all sorts of trouble, Chen Luo had plenty of ways to survive.

Both the resurrection ability from Mobius and the Fried Egg bound to his backpack can ensure that Chen Luo will not die instantly.

As long as Chen Luo doesn't die instantly, he can use the Teleport Anchor to escape.

This at least gave Chen Luo a strong sense of security.

This allows Chen Luo to participate in various events with peace of mind.

Moreover, Chen Luo also possesses the skill that There's Always a Way Out ...

The two five-star items I drew from the gacha interface are a bar and Teleport Anchor, which is fantastic.

"Your trip... seems quite difficult."

It's truly a miracle that you're still alive.

Irena wanted to say that, but felt it wouldn't be polite.

But Irena really thought it was remarkable that the other person had lived to be so old.

"Thank you for being so tactful." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Irena.

You could have been more direct.

"So, what happened between you and me from another timeline? It doesn't seem like a pleasant thing, does it?" Irena asked curiously.

"..."

Why isn't this task finished yet? Do I really have to explain everything to the other party?

While mentally complaining about the harshness of the one-star mission, Chen Luo said, "To correct you, it's not something unpleasant, but something that can severely damage Herrscher of the Heart. If you're judging by the timeline, the other person is probably still crying on the bench right now. Do you want to go check on them?"

Chen Luo had only been back at the bar for a few minutes, so if Irena had been crying for a long time, he might still see her crying when he went back now.

"Something that could make me cry?" This genuinely surprised Irena.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Hearing this voice, Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crying isn't important. If crying can calm you down, then it's worth it. But I'm afraid that another version of you will change drastically," Chen Luo said.

"A drastic change in temperament? Is it that serious?"

"It's very serious." Chen Luo nodded solemnly.

"So... Miss Irena, can I ask you for a favor?" Chen Luo said, looking at the perfectly normal Irena in front of him.

After watching episode 9 of Irena's Wandering Witch, Chen Luo continued watching the rest of the series.

I at least saw the end of season 1, the episode where multiple Irena appeared at the same time.

Although the comments say that some parts of the plot have been cut, that doesn't matter.

The important thing is not to let Irena, the first person Chen Luo meets, become an autistic Irena.

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, the first Irena Chen Luo meets might turn out to be the irritable Irena.

But being irritable isn't a good thing either.

"What is it?" Irena was taken aback.

"Could you please comfort the other person? I'm worried that if things continue like this, they'll either become withdrawn or irritable and easily angered."

At least before this incident, the first Irena Chen Luo knew was quite normal. She was exactly the same as the Irena before him, but things might change after this experience.

Or rather, all Irena are basically the same before they set off on their journeys, but gradually become different after they embark on their travels due to different choices they make.

The first and second Irena seem Irena have made roughly the same choices before the events were rewound.

"While gaining different experiences during the trip is indeed the main purpose, I'm still a little worried because the other person can't get over this unresolved issue," Chen Luo continued.

"Well... that's possible, but I don't know how to persuade her," Irena said, somewhat embarrassed.
