"Ah, fine, I'll tell you. By the way, don't you angels have that Eye of Insight? Couldn't you just read my memories directly? Why do you have to tease me like this?!"
Long Qian shook his head helplessly and spoke.
He should have thought of it sooner. Angel Yan had always liked teasing people, and she was an expert at it. Wasn't it perfectly normal for her to tease him?
Whether he told her or not, she had already known where he came from.
Still, what reassured him was the system's answer. He couldn't go back anymore, which meant he no longer had to worry about his Earth being invaded by other advanced civilizations like this Earth had been.
"We angels aren't as shameless as you think. I also wouldn't bother using the Eye of Insight to casually pry into someone else's memories."
When Angel Yan said that, there was obvious guilt in her tone, but Long Qian did not notice at all.
"Fine, then I'll be honest with you. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Long Qian—the Qian from 'a dragon lurking in the abyss.' Nice to meet you, Yan!!!"
Long Qian gave a formal introduction and held out both hands.
"Mm, I'm happy to meet you too."
Angel Yan did not seem overly suspicious either. She reached out and shook Long Qian's hands.
"If I said I came from another Earth, would you believe me?"
Long Qian knew that his transmigration was a fact. Fortunately, not many people had noticed it. Angel Yan was one, and then there was Qi Lin, who had been injured last night. But he guessed Qi Lin had not discovered anything and had merely regarded him as an ordinary person.
"Another Earth... It's certainly hard to understand and hard to accept. But the facts are right in front of us. We have no choice but to accept them, no choice but to believe."
Angel Yan nodded. Hearing the news directly from Long Qian truly shocked her somewhat. Parallel-world theory should not have been possible.
Yet this person truly existed before her, so she had no choice but to believe. And that angel—viewed this way, it all made sense. That Angel Sister, like him, had come from a parallel world.
That meant that world also had an Angel Civilization.
But...
After hearing Long Qian's explanation, Angel Yan only had more questions, all right?
She had only had a few doubts before. Now, her doubts had multiplied exponentially.
She had never expected Long Qian's next words to shatter her worldview and leave her utterly unable to accept it.
Seeing Angel Yan nod and believe his answer, he continued.
And Angel Yan had not read his memories after all. She really was kinder than he had imagined.
"Then I'll start with yesterday. After getting off work last night, I was happily playing games at home. I got a pentakill with an angel, I..."
Before Long Qian could finish, Angel Yan interrupted him. "You got a pentakill with an angel? What does that mean???"
She had thought Long Qian meant the sort of virtual game where one could become an angel. After all, there was precedent—the Angel Sister was symbiotic with him.
"Uh... that was a game character. An angel. It's a kind of MOBA tower-pushing game..."
Long Qian immediately started rambling on about the game. After only a few sentences, he realized what he was doing and said, "Sorry, wrong topic. Continuing from before, I heard an explosion. A violent explosion, along with a powerful white light. Then my villa and I came here together. After that, I was attacked by that damn Taotie scout, and my villa was gone too."
"Taotie??? You mean those beast-bodied people from the Styx Galaxy?"
Angel Yan did not understand at first, but then she realized that the term Divine River Body had been used well—very accurately.
"Yeah, Taotie. That's what we call them."
Long Qian nodded seriously. It seemed his story had come to an end.
"Yan, Little Milk Sha... pfft, pfft, pfft, Keisha has a Fourth Generation God Body. Does she have a way to send me home? I want to go home. I don't want to die here."
He was only twenty-five or twenty-six this year. He did not want to die, much less die here, on this Earth. He was just an ordinary person. Dying on another planet was simply impossible for him to accept.
He had even forgotten his original intention—to keep information about Earth from leaking. Right now, all he could think about was going home.
"If other worlds truly exist, it will still take time to research and verify that. Even if I believe you, I can't do it. Traveling through time and space is only a physical theory; it contradicts scientific principles. But I will report this to the Queen."
Seeing Long Qian's genuine emotions, Angel Yan could only feel helpless. She believed what Long Qian said, but it was simply too unscientific.
Then she began asking her questions. "Does your world also have angels?"
"Angels? No. I'm an atheist. Angels are the belief of certain Westerners. Believing in angels is worse than believing in yourself."
Long Qian spoke carelessly, only realizing after he had finished that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
"Um, my world is very special. None of that exists. Of course, maybe we simply haven't discovered it yet. So-called angels, demons, and immortals are all spiritual anchors created by humanity—by our ancestors."
He felt that should have been the best answer.
"Then what about Angel Kayle from yesterday?"
"Ah, Kayle... uh... she isn't from our world. She's from a game... uh... fine, I summoned her."
Long Qian did not know how to explain it to Angel Yan. If he brought up another game world, she would probably become even more confused.
Angel Kayle should have nothing to do with Keisha from this world, right?
He remembered that Super Seminary had been an upgraded version of the old La La La Demacia, but the later settings had become completely different, hadn't they?
Kayle came from the LOL world. No, she should have come from the League of Legends world. One was a game, the other an anime. They should not be connected, right?
It was impossible for Kayle to have ties to this world's Angel Civilization, right?
"Fine, one last question. You know me, you know us. Can you tell me exactly why? Or rather, how did you come to know me? I saw photos of myself on that communication device of yours, including some private photos."
Angel Yan felt this was the real issue. How had he obtained those photos, as well as those unknown clips?
She cared deeply about it. Being so familiar to someone from an unknown world and an unknown civilization made her very uncomfortable.
"Uh... are you sure you want me to tell you?"
Long Qian froze for a moment. He had not expected Angel Yan to have already looked through his phone. But it was only normal that she had, wasn't it? Angel Yan had been following him the whole time.
What worried him was that once he told her, Angel Yan might start doubting her own existence.
"It seems this question is putting you in a difficult position. Go ahead and tell me. Oh, and there's also my voice. I'm certain I never said those things. In exchange, Angel Yan can grant you one request—any request."
Angel Yan felt this was the greatest secret. Everything else was manageable, but this alone was impossible to explain.
After all, the photos on that communication device spanned the past, present, and future. She did not believe the future version of herself, but what about the past? That was tens of thousands of years.
Those photos included not only pictures of her bathing, but also photos of Queen Keisha.
Fortunately, Queen Keisha did not know. If she did, she would probably give Long Qian a Judgment of Justice immediately.
After all, Queen Keisha was not as easygoing as she was. Any unknown factor that posed a threat would be judged.
Angel Yan's voice was filled with teasing and temptation, and Long Qian became a little muddleheaded for a moment.
Any request... How about a hug? He had never truly hugged an angel before.
Pah, if it was any request, wouldn't Angel's Protection be better? Then he could hug her every day.
"Can I really make any request? Then can I ask for Angel's Protection?"
"That one is not allowed!!!"
"Fine, then can I have a hug?"
Long Qian immediately deflated. He had thought too much. He had been indulging in wishful thinking.
"Mm... that one isn't impossible!!!"
