Qin Manjiang lowered his hand as he listened to the old doctor.
He raised his head in the wind and rain and smiled. "Yes, I'm Qin Manjiang, from Lower River Village. I'm thirty this year."
He understood.
As the person involved, he understood better than anyone.
The Qin Manjiang from thirty years later had died, but in the original timeline, he should not have died. His own arrival had changed all of this.
This faceless corpse was proof.
Some kind of rule and power was correcting the altered reality.
For instance... the twenty-year-old Qin Manjiang had become his thirty-year-old "self," while the real thirty-year-old Qin Manjiang had had his face erased.
Barring any surprises, testing this corpse's DNA would not yield any answers either.
"It's you?" Bai Yang frowned slightly and took a close look at Qin Manjiang.
He had met this doctor when he came to Lower River Village last year, so why had he failed to recognize him just now?
Not only had he failed to recognize him, he had not even connected the Qin Manjiang before him with the Qin Manjiang he knew.
Yet now that Qin Manjiang had admitted it, Bai Yang did think he looked like him.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Lin, take Mr. Qin somewhere out of the rain." Bai Yang still remembered how Qin Manjiang had looked as though the rain was about to make him pass out.
He beckoned, and a young trainee police officer ran over. "Mr. Qin, please come with me."
Qin Manjiang did not resist. He silently followed Lin toward the nearest house.
As he walked, Qin Manjiang carefully felt the changes in his body.
This body of his had grown weaker.
His lung capacity was a little smaller, and his build was a little thinner
