[4:44:09]
"Touch!"
"Boom!"
Above the endless darkness, the white cat corpses with their limp bodies fell one after another, leaving irregular blood stains on the ground.
Thick blood gathered into a stream, carrying a thick fishy smell and flowing together with the cat's scattered hair, dyeing the atmosphere here as depressing as a slaughterhouse.
"Yan Huan!!"
With eyes wide open, he knelt down next to the bloody Yan Huan. A cat's emerald-like eyes suddenly opened, revealing its plump black body. It looked at Yan Huan with a worried look on its face.
"We can't stay here too long, meow. This if line is about to collapse! If you don't leave by 4:45, you might disappear with this place, meow!!"
"At 4:45, Bai Yi will completely disappear again."
Yan Huan tremblingly lowered his head and covered his face.
"Meow"
Meow-chan blinked and looked at the back of Yan Huan in front of him, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Yan Huan, with red eyes and lowered head, was unwilling to leave. His breath kept smelling fishy, and he mobilized all his thoughts to think.
There must be a way
There must be a way
"."
At this moment, after experiencing so much, this idea came to his mind again.
However, the meaning was completely different from when I first reunited with Bai Yi.
At the beginning, when he didn't understand how much trouble Bai Yi and himself were getting into, he might just be confident.
He is confident that he can solve the problem of Bai Yi just like he solved the problem of Modifier before.
After all, she was so sensible before.
I don't use Modifier very much. Even if I get angry, I just digest it like a child, and the next day I smile optimistically.
Yes.
The longer he stayed with Bai Yi and the more he experienced, the more he realized.
Not only the seriousness of her Modifier problem, but also the value she places on her own feelings.
The despair that could not change the outcome no matter what, the guilt for having deceived Bai Yi before and underestimating her feelings for him, made Yan Huan eager to repay her.
Even if it means exchanging myself for her.
But at this moment, he was only filled with reluctance.
I can't bear to see her disappear, I can't bear to disappear and never see her again
But having finally reached this point, Yan Huan once again experienced unprecedented regret.
Regret for deceiving her, regret for always ignoring her, whether it is her feelings or problems
And until now, it has completely resulted in negative consequences.
"Haha."
That kind of heartbreaking regret drilled all the way up from his intestines until it seemed to drill through his heart.
"Didi. dip"
But at this moment, when Meow-chan saw this, his eyes flashed slightly and he summoned a golden pendulum clock.
That is a tool used to observe the world line.
[4:44:15]
The golden light and the sound of the pendulum clock shaking attracted Yan Huan's attention, causing him to raise his eyes blankly.
On the side, Meow-chan looked at the pendulum clock with a serious expression and reminded softly,
"There are 45 seconds left, Yan Huan."
"!!"
Hearing Meow-chan's voice, Yan Huan's expression changed slightly and he raised his eyes.
"Didi. dip"
Looking at the clock swinging back and forth, Yan Huan bit his lip and forced himself to calm down.
You must consider the method. There is no use in feeling sorry for yourself and regretting yourself.
So, he simply closed his eyes and reorganized his thoughts.
calm
calm
First, what is the premise?
The premise is:
The law of cause and effect bomb will explode on July 1st, which will not only kill you, but may also cause the entire world to enter annihilation.
This ability can only be activated in the third stage of Ring Finger, and it is speculated that Ring Finger activated it through the "knot" where the two people come into contact on the world line.
According to the evil god's prompts, Ring Finger had the third-stage ability when he was born, so the solution is to remove all the ties between the two after Bai Yi obtains Ring Finger, so that Ring Finger cannot activate the bomb.
But the problem now is:
Even though all the knots between the two of them after the spring semester have been untied, the causality bomb still exists.
So, what is the problem?
Is there something wrong with the principle of the causal law bomb that I analyzed?
no, wrong
There should be no problem with this inference, because there are many clues in the if line to support it.
There are many if lines in which the causal law bomb is not activated, and they all have one or two aspects that are different from reality.
Or, Bai Yi has never traveled through time at all, that is, it has not even unlocked the second stage ability.
Or, he met her after he was 19 years old.
The latter can support one's own point of view, while the former point of view.
Huh?
Thinking of this, Yan Huan suddenly discovered one.
Contradiction?
"Didi. dip"
[4:44:25]
The pendulum clock in front shook slightly, illuminating Yan Huan's stunned expression.
Meow-chan originally wanted to remind him that there were still "35 seconds" left, but when he saw his enlightened expression, he couldn't bear to interrupt.
"."
Do you still remember, the evil god once said:
The third stage ability of Ring Finger has been present since birth.
But if this is the case, then even if Ring Finger has not unlocked the second stage of time travel, the law of causality bomb should still exist!
Then counter-evidence: The stages of Ring Finger are the same as other fingers, and they are also gradual!
But why does this extremely contradictory situation occur?
because
Time travel!!
"Where did Meow-chan. Meow-chan, Bai Yi go?"
"Meow? I don't know meow"
Yan Huan's eyes widened, and he murmured with sweat all over his head, which shocked Meow-chan.
It quickly looked at the pendulum clock in front of it and pulled it up with a meat pad.
"But people can only travel back to after they are born, and if she wants to disappear, the only way is to travel back to the day she was born and kill herself."
"Turn to the time of her birth!! I want to see the time!!"
Yan Huan didn't seem to want to hear what Meow-chan said next. He just looked at the pendulum clock with a pale face, asking Meow-chan to take action quickly.
"Good meow."
Meow-chan was puzzled and just followed the instructions.
But even so, it still reminded Yan Huan,
"Bai Yi was born half a year earlier than you. It's impossible for you to time travel to the day she was born at the same time, meow."
And with a slight movement of its fingers, it immediately switched to Qidian of the Bai Yi world line.
That is the time of her birth, yes.
"4:44 pm on December 25th?!"
When he saw that time, Meow-chan was also confused.
It couldn't even believe what it saw.
Why is it such a coincidence?
The time when Bai Yi was born happened to be the time when reality opened the time rift and time travel was possible!!
"!!"
As soon as he saw that time, Yan Huan's eyes instantly turned red.
His breathing almost stopped, he gritted his teeth and punched the ground in the blood.
"Bang!"
"I know, I know Ring Finger's trick"
"Meow?!"
Yan Huan spoke tremblingly, and the voice sounded faintly in the darkness, with extremely complicated emotions.
At this moment, it is afternoon.
[4:44:32]
At this moment, everything is connected in Yan Huan's mind.
Why, at the same point in time, the future Bai Yi and the past Bai Yi seem to share the same Modifier.
Why, even though all the knots in the spring semester have been untied, the law of causality bomb is still not untied.
This is all because.
"The time when Bai Yi got Modifier was not at the beginning of the spring semester, nor when Meow-chan came to me."
"Meow?!"
Yan Huan's eyes were red, and he slowly raised his eyes,
"Ring Finger fooled everyone
"There is no timeline between the world line and the if line, and Bai Yi is the only host it can choose. Therefore, the time when it really came to Bai Yi was when Bai Yi was born!
"Ring Finger, who was just born into Bai Yi, only has the first stage of abilities, and is absolutely unable to launch the law of cause and effect bomb unless"
As soon as he heard Yan Huan's words, Meow-chan also understood something instantly and shouted in shock,
"But because the past and future Bai Yi share Ring Finger!
"As long as the future Bai Yi, with extremely strong desire, takes Ring Finger, which has entered the third stage, to return to the moment of his birth.
"Then, it has the third stage of ability from the moment it is born, meow!!"
Yan Huan had red eyes, looking at the pendulum clock swinging back and forth in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice,
"The ability of its third stage is not just a causal bomb, but more importantly, it creates a time loop that reverses cause and effect!
"Just like now, I have clearly not coaxed others to give up Modifier, but the future Aria has noticed my behavior and tried to stop it with Thumb.
"On the contrary, her obstruction, which was originally the 'result', became part of the 'cause'
"And once Bai Yi starts traveling for me.
"You will find that the law of cause and effect bomb cannot be dispelled no matter what, and you will find out that the nasty things her mother did made her regret being born, so she went back to the past and tried to kill herself.
"As everyone knows, it was precisely because she returned to the day of her birth that the cause and effect bomb was generated, and she could not disarm the cause and effect bomb no matter what."
But now, having understood the principle, Meow-chan is still anxious.
"But if that's the case, isn't it already too late?
"Bai Yi goes back in time and tries to kill himself, either succeeding or failing.
"If it succeeds, she will disappear; if it fails, the law of cause and effect bomb will be born.
"But now it seems that these two 'results' exist at the same time and have become 'causes'!
"It is precisely because Bai Yi disappeared that you started to travel; and it is precisely because the law of cause and effect bomb was born that you were unable to stop it, so Bai Yi had to go back.
"If only I could have realized Ring Finger earlier"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Meow-chan opened his mouth, Yan Huan's eyes turned red and he suddenly raised his head.
"We can't follow its train of thought! Ring Finger just wants us to think that this is a closed loop that cannot be changed no matter what!"
"."
His words made Meow-chan slightly startled.
But Yan Huan's shoulders were shaking and he lowered his head.
"People can only look back at the past and realize all the things they did wrong in the past, but they can only have regrets.
"When will we realize it?
"Regret is futile?"
As he spoke, burning anger suddenly appeared in his eyes,
"The only regret medicine in the world is now. There are only things that must be done now, immediately, and immediately."
[4:44:44]
Saying that, Yan Huan suddenly stretched out his hand to fiddle with the pendulum clock that monitors time.
"If the bomb of the law of causation was born on the day she was born, then it can be explained that even though all the knots were untied before, the bomb of the law of causation still could not be removed."
"Why meow? You didn't meet Bai Yi from that day, meow."
"No it's not"
Yan Huan quickly moved the time point and his eyes flashed slightly.
He suddenly recalled everything.
I recalled that even though I had not met Bai Yi in the spring semester, I still had the impression in my mind.
"When I was young, I once went to Yasaka Company to participate in a child star talent show, and I won first place there."
"Meow?!"
When Yan Huan spoke like this, Meow-chan was also instantly shocked.
"Bai Yi also met me for the first time at that time. Since then, Zuo Jiangqin used me to stimulate her every day, so at the beginning of the spring semester, she would use Modifier on me.
"So.
"That was the first knot between us!!"
Yan Huan suddenly moved the time point to that point, and then
The golden pendulum clock instantly turned into a terrifying dark green.
Looking at the terrifying green that appeared, Yan Huan's expression showed no fear at all. Instead, he showed sadness that he had finally found the answer.
The world line can only be observed for 15 days before and after, for a total of 30 days.
And they, after searching for so long, never found this lonely "knot" standing in the past of the two of them.
However, in the darkness, the two people's originally parallel world lines were suddenly entangled here and now.
Gradually, the entanglement became a huge knot.
The knot is tangled back and forth and looks extremely complicated.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a thick ink-colored mist above, which looks as terrifying as a sarcoma on the world line.
That is, the law of causality bomb!!
[4:44:51]
Looking at the knot, Yan Huan without hesitation summoned the 20 crab coins he had obtained before and opened Demon Shop.
[Master Key*1:10 Crab Coins]
But when he saw the price, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Didn't a key cost 5 crab coins before, but 10 coins for a round trip?
Why has the price increased now?!
"Wait, Yan Huan!"
This was not over yet. Meow-chan on the side suddenly changed his expression when he saw this. He pushed his hand with a flesh pad and quickly spoke to remind him,
"Don't forget, Bai Yi is not with you this time, meow! It's just you! Even if I can help you travel back in time, once you start to change, you have to do it yourself!!
"You don't have the physique of Bai Yi. Changing the past, especially your own past, will have unimaginable consequences! You should have known this before!!"
Hearing this, Yan Huan couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Yes, I still remember that when he was at Comic Convention, he just touched the key a little and he was covered in injuries.
As long as the matter is important and related to oneself, without Bai Yi's physique, the consequences will be unpredictable.
"Your body and your memory, you don't know what will happen, meow!"
"."
Hearing this, Yan Huan was slightly startled, but looked at the magnificent and obviously extremely unstable world line in front of him and asked,
"Compared to this, the world line is now in danger. If I change the past at the same time as Bai Yi, I'm afraid it will cause annihilation, right?"
Seeing that Yan Huan didn't answer his question, Meow-chan opened his mouth, and then his eyes became firm.
"You can leave this to me, meow. I will do my best to maintain the stability of the world line, but Yan Huan, I can only maintain stability by constantly repairing the world line. This means that the world line between you can only change back to its original state, meow."
"What do you mean?"
"Yan Huan, don't forget, the incident of your parents' accident happened during this time. Once the cat chooses to do this, your resurrected parents will also return to the original ending."
"."
Hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes trembled slightly.
Immediately, he turned his head blankly and looked at Clock, who was still swinging in front of him.
"Didi. dip"
There are only a few seconds left before the final moment.
"Yan Huan."
"I will definitely save Yan Huan"
"I just don't live up to expectations, I just do it for Yan Huan."
"Even if it's not worth it, I will do it."
But at this moment, along with the sound of Clock walking like water drops, the sweet voice of the girl like a lark suddenly echoed in his ears.
Listening to her voice, Yan Huan's slightly trembling shoulders and rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
Immediately, he didn't look back and just said,
"Then, please, Meow-chan."
"Meow?"
After hearing this, Meow-chan wanted to persuade him again, because Yan Huan didn't seem to understand the cost.
But when he ran forward and saw Yan Huan's expression, he was slightly startled.
"Yan Huan."
In the end, it could only sigh softly.
"Didi. dip"
But in front of him, Yan Huan said nothing, just looked forward silently.
His own safety, the love of his parents that he had only enjoyed for a few days, his greed.
At this moment, they were all sacrificed by him.
What he got in exchange was the increasingly rapid shaking sound of Clock in front of him, and the space door that was about to open.
"Didi. dip"
[4:44:58]
[4:44:59]
"Kakakaka!!"
Before my eyes, the door to the past has opened.
From it, a dazzling light emerged, illuminating the blood-colored Yan Huan.
Of course, it also illuminated his red eyes and the determination within them.
Why here?
The reason for this is hard to explain.
Is it because of guilt? Is it because of regret?
Or because
Love both?
Yan Huan cannot answer.
However, in front of the wide-open door, he crushed all the crab coins in his hand bit by bit and responded softly to his past self,
"I said
"I will be responsible for Bai Yi."
The moment he opened his mouth, the dazzling light immediately swallowed him up.
"Kakakaka!!"
[4:45:00]
