Morgana!!!
Seeing this name, Hexi and Keisha exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
The two stared at each other for two seconds before Hexi broke the silence.
"So it really is... I never expected to hear her name here."
Keisha turned her eyes toward the diary, her gaze lingering on that familiar name. Her tone carried a trace of coldness and an almost imperceptible complexity.
"Heh, it is somewhat unexpected."
"But since he mentioned this name, it means we can infer more."
A glint flashed through Keisha's eyes.
"Based on the clues currently available, I can think of four possibilities."
"First... this diary originated from an insight into the Ultimate Fear. This person named Su Bai... perhaps even that name is false. In short, all of this was deliberate on his part."
Keisha paused slightly at this point.
"But if that's the case, I can't quite figure out his purpose. After all, apart from allowing us to read it, I haven't noticed any other function this diary has."
"And I don't feel as though my thoughts have been tampered with..."
Hexi nodded thoughtfully.
Keisha continued explaining her conjectures.
"Second... this existence named Su Bai really is a so-called transmigrator, and his circumstances are exactly as he wrote in the diary. But why write a diary? And why distribute it into our hands? What is his purpose?"
"We still have no idea about any of that."
"Third, he really is a transmigrator, but his circumstances aren't as he claimed. All of this may be fabricated—things he merely wants us to 'see' and wants us to know."
"He wants us to form a harmless, or even pitiful, image of him based on this diary, thereby achieving his purpose."
Hexi frowned. Indeed, although diaries were meant for writing one's innermost thoughts, what respectable person actually kept a diary? Wasn't writing one simply a way to let others read it and create an image in their minds?
"Then what about the fourth possibility?"
Hexi looked at Keisha. She had been able to think of the first three possibilities Keisha mentioned—or rather, the two of them could think of even more possibilities.
It was just that, based on the information currently available, these possibilities seemed more likely.
"Fourth... the owner of this diary may be a powerful being who survived from ancient times. He did all this simply because... well..."
Keisha looked at Hexi. Under Hexi's puzzled gaze, the corners of her lips curved upward.
"Like you, he just likes to 'have fun.'"
Hexi rolled her eyes speechlessly. Ignoring Keisha's smug look, she continued reading the diary.
[Xiao Xue said that with my current intelligence, if Morgana sold me, I might even help her count the money.]
[I refuse to believe it. I'm obviously very smart. I even understand that my stomach is growling because I'm hungry, so I'm not stupid at all.]
[She said she didn't want to lower herself to the level of an idiot and said we should handle business first.]
Business!
At this point, all the women reading the diary perked up.
It was finally coming?
The diary owner's true purpose!
[Xiao Xue said she was a Diary System, the kind where writing diaries grants rewards.]
[But she said she had made some adjustments. Originally, it was supposed to be distributed to all the beautiful characters in the original work, whether protagonists, villains, supporting characters, or even characters I had liked in my previous life.]
[Now, she had intentionally selected some of them for temporary distribution. They were all beautiful, kind women with powerful personalities and great charm in the original work.]
[She wants me to find these beautiful women from the original work who are reading the diary before my soul recovers, and have them temporarily serve as an External Brain. In exchange, by following me, they can also learn the future, explore the truth of the universe, and explore the worlds beyond this one.]
[Xiao Xue talks so much. She said that although everyone in the story is beautiful and kind, living beings are complicated. For the sake of benefits or power, they can do anything.]
[So if it really comes to that, she will ask Big Sister for help and directly summon an evil villain to fight in my place.]
[Hmm... I said I was hungry and wanted something to eat, but Xiao Xue said she had no way to buy me food and told me to write this: Qilin, you idiot, hurry to the Jiuyang Restaurant on North-South Street in Juxia City and take him home.]
[Xiao Xue was wrong again. I'm not an idiot.]
The diary abruptly ended there.
But the women reading it could not calm down.
Especially Qilin.
Juxia City Police Station.
Qilin's gaze remained fixed on her own name, her eyes widening.
The Qilin he mentioned is me, right?
North-South Street in Juxia City... Should I go?
Qilin hesitated.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, this matter was far too bizarre.
That was right. Qilin no longer suspected that this was merely a chuuni diary. After all, the automatic opening could perhaps be explained by some small mechanism, but automatic updating...
Qilin could clearly tell that this was an ordinary notebook, just a thin sheet of paper without any advanced technology.
Judging from the diary's description, this Su Bai did seem rather pitiful, but... what if all of it was fake?
Would going there mean throwing herself into a trap?
After thinking for a while, Qilin gritted her teeth, stood up, and headed toward the director's office.
There was no helping it. Who told her, Qilin, to be kindhearted?
She would take leave and go see that idiot.
Merlo Heavenly Court.
Hexi slowly exhaled and looked toward Keisha.
"Old hag, how much of what he wrote do you think is credible?"
Predicting the future, exploring the universe, and discovering that another realm existed beyond the world—
These ideas truly stirred the heart.
Although the Knowledge Vault could deduce the future, it was ultimately only a simulation based on data, and its results were not necessarily accurate.
Just as the diary had said, life itself was full of complexity and variables, and the angels were no exception.
With the slightest deviation, the future could head in an entirely different direction. Therefore, the Vault's calculations could serve only as a reference.
As for exploring the universe... even within the Known Universe, they had not grasped all its secrets. Countless unknowns still awaited discovery.
And "there are worlds beyond this world"—this had originally been merely a concept existing in conjecture.
Now, it seemed that perhaps it was not simply wishful thinking...
"Both true and false, perhaps." Keisha's voice also carried a hint of fluctuation. The contents of the diary truly made it difficult to remain calm, let alone...
"Heh, even the angels who pride themselves on justice have people who don't believe in them~" Hexi raised an eyebrow at Keisha, her tone carrying a trace of teasing.
"Look, you have worked so hard to promote the Justice Order throughout the universe and maintain the balance of the Known Universe, yet the other party doesn't seem to agree."
Keisha shook her head helplessly.
"I think he may know something about us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately sent the diary here—perhaps he was worried about being targeted by a certain Heavenly King who always wants to 'study' other people."
Hexi chuckled at that, neither confirming nor denying it.
"So what do you plan to do next? Try to make contact with him?"
"Of course." Keisha's expression turned serious. "Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, and regardless of whether he harbors justice or has another agenda, we must make contact with him."
"The question is, how do we find him?" Hexi pointed out the key issue. "'Juxia City'... There are probably countless places with that name in the Known Universe."
"But if we add the girl named 'Qilin,' the search area can be narrowed considerably." Keisha pondered.
