Xianyu opened the System Inventory and found the sheet of paper bearing the fable and the hint.
The handwriting of the fable was particularly immature, entirely different from the handwriting of the Cats and Dogs hint beneath it.
Judging by the handwriting... Zandar had written the fable, while Xianyu himself had written the hint.
Xianyu sank into thought.
He found it difficult to place his trust in others.
Even though his past self had left hints repeatedly reminding him of his relationship with Zandar, he still found it hard to trust him.
When they first met, Xianyu had taught Zandar a new language.
It was perfectly normal... for the two of them to have the same handwriting.
But why did Zandar's handwriting still match his after so many loops?
Xianyu couldn't help thinking of that Fable. Those words on the title page and in the afterword... had he really written them himself?
He quickly dismissed that suspicion.
Zandar was different from him.
Xianyu had a unique constitution. Aeons couldn't kill him.
But if the Aeons learned of their plan... Zandar really would die.
From that perspective, Zandar was an ally who would never betray him.
As for why their handwriting matched...
Xianyu tried putting himself in Zandar's shoes.
Zandar was responsible for recording the experimental data, so presumably he also kept the records from previous loops.
Then, as a leading scholar, it was perfectly normal for Zandar to learn a new language along the way and practice writing as beautifully as Xianyu, wasn't it?
Xianyu quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Judging by the ugly handwriting, had they reached an agreement to kill those Aeons shortly after meeting?
As for the Emanator of Erudition Zandar had mentioned... whether that person really had violated the latest Star System Law...
Xianyu didn't care
