In the movie, the protagonists travel back and forth between the modern and past through dreams, but now......

"Did we really go back to the past?"

Sitting on the tatami, Sakurajima Mai looked speechless, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin beside her was also at a loss for words.

Just now, they had a conversation with Chao Yun Changpu, and as a result, discovered...... this is not their era. It’s unclear, but it’s obvious that this should be some period in ancient times.

"If it’s according to legend, then it should be the Edo period...? "

Hei Chuan Chi Yin pondered as she voiced her guess.

"It truly feels like a dream...... By the way, Xiao Ai, your explanation is too exaggerated."

Sakurajima Mai complained, shooting a glare at Duanmu Huai.

"You actually said we’re Heavenly Maidens, what if we get found out?"

That’s right, when the three of them sent the girl named Chao Yun Changpu back to the Shrine, she naturally asked about their identities. Originally, both Sakurajima Mai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin were hesitating on how to explain, and then without a second thought, Duanmu Huai bluntly said, "We are Heavenly Maidens," which left the other two completely speechless.

"Get found out? How could we get found out?"

Duanmu Huai rolled her eyes as she sat beside them.

"To them, we really are like Immortals, aren’t we?"

"We’re just ordinary girls...... Well, maybe Xiao Ai is different, but neither Chi Yin nor I have any strange strength."

"Just act divine, don’t you guys have phones or something? At the very least, even if you take a picture with your phone, these people might just kneel down and proclaim a miracle."

"This......"

"Moreover, this is necessary for us to resolve the current situation."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai suddenly became interested, while Duanmu Huai raised a finger.

"It’s simple. Suppose we’re here to solve some problem, then we need to take action. Also, our clothing is obviously different from the people of this era, isn’t it? Pretending to be people of this era would only make the others suspicious. Ancient times were full of backward superstition, and if you insist on hiding your identity, you might end up being seen as some mountain ghost or Demon incarnation. You wouldn’t want to be tied up and burned, would you?"

For a Judge like Duanmu Huai, going to unfamiliar areas to investigate is nothing new. Generally, there are two ways to conduct an investigation: either by stealthily infiltrating or by charging in with fanfare. Most players prefer the first approach at first, but eventually find that the second approach is the most effective for quickly solving a task.

The reason is simple. You could disguise yourself as an ordinary person to investigate, but to the people here, you are ultimately an outsider. For an outsider to blend into a local village takes a lot of time. Even if you manage to dig up some dirt, it’s really just a waste of time.

It’s better to reveal your identity directly. Even if you don’t make a move, those who don’t want you there will try to eliminate you. As long as a Judge is skilled enough, the ensuing problems become non-issues.

"Uh......"

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, the two were momentarily speechless.

"But didn’t Miss Changpu say the villagers will come later and she’ll let them meet us? What should we do......"

"Performance, use your brains, where are your acting skills?"

Seeing the two at a loss, Duanmu Huai looked at them with disdain for their incompetence. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Come on, you two are supposed to be known actresses! Can’t you perform? Just act like a Fairy, isn’t this your specialty?"

"Uh...... Can we really do this?"

"The founding figures of those ancient sham religions were basically just ordinary people good at acting. If we stay here long enough, we might even start something like a Heavenly Maiden Sect."

"Is that really possible......"

Sakurajima Mai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin are not foolish, but any ordinary person suddenly dealing with a situation like time travel would naturally be at a loss. Not everyone is as experienced as Duanmu Huai, having traveled through time so often that it becomes routine. For two girls only about sixteen years old, suddenly stepping into an ancient world, their minds probably haven’t had the chance to adjust yet.

If it were just Sakurajima Mai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin, they might have fallen into panic by now. It’s precisely because Duanmu Huai displayed such composure that the two began to slowly calm down.

"Wait, what if they insist that we are some sort of Demons or monsters?"

"Then we just kill them all."

Duanmu Huai’s response was calm and composed. However, Sakurajima Mai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin were taken aback.

"Xiao Ai?!"

"Wait, you can’t just say things like that!"

"What’s the problem with that?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the two of them.

"If someone wants to kill us, it’s only natural for them to be killed. Besides, this is ancient times. Did you expect to call the police? On another note, even if this was the present, do you think the police would believe the locals over a stranger with no identification?"
