"I don't recognize him. The causal connection didn't exist in the past. Then this must be reality." Lu Yin smiled. Blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth, yet his smile was so relaxed. He had made it out.
Bu Ya didn't understand what he was smiling about. What causality? What reality? He couldn't make sense of it.
