"Actually, Xiao Huan, you don't need to be so cautious. You can go back at 4:44 tomorrow afternoon."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Huan's eyes immediately narrowed, looking at Ye Shiyu in disbelief,

"You..."

Seeing the obvious mistrust on Yan Huan's face, Ye Shiyu was not surprised at all.

She just adjusted her towel and continued,

"Although I don't know where the current Xiao Huan came from, I know that in your impression, the modifier hasn't been resolved yet, so you will doubt me...

"But it's okay. Didn't you ask about the ability of the ring finger? I'll tell you everything I know.

"As for the truth of the information and what you plan to do afterward, it's up to you to decide. I won't interfere."

Yan Huan was slightly taken aback, but seeing Ye Shiyu's straightforward demeanor, he pondered for a moment and nodded,

"...Okay."

"Hmm... the ability of the ring finger, generally speaking, is 'modifying space-time.'

Ye Shiyu reached for a tablet on the bedside table, unlocked it, and its screensaver displayed a picture of her wedding with Yan Huan.

Then she opened a writing app and took out a digital pen,

"Starting with the basics, the first phase of the ring finger's 'modifying space-time' manifests in two aspects: indifference, time acceleration, and stopping."

However, as soon as he heard this, Yan Huan frowned.

Though he didn't speak, Ye Shiyu noticed his expression and asked,

"Is there a problem?"

"...Uh."

Yan Huan hesitated for a moment but still pointed to the first phase ability she wrote down,

"I know about indifference and time stopping, but I'm unfamiliar with time acceleration."

"This... should be Bai Yi's issue."

Seeing this, Ye Shiyu nodded, expressionless,

"The essence of this ability is the same as time stopping; both are fundamentally 'manipulating time.'

"Bai Yi, when turning the clock hands clockwise, initiates time stopping, which essentially slows time to an 'infinitely small' rate.

"Conversely, turning the clock hands counterclockwise... initiates time acceleration.

"But Bai Yi is a complete fool; initially, she instinctively only turned clockwise; plus, the ability wasn't very useful, so she only discovered it much later.

As she spoke, a reminiscent expression appeared in Ye Shiyu's eyes,

"I remember she only used this ability once; it was when she was binge-watching a series, and the finale was airing the next day. She couldn't bear it, so she accelerated time by a day to see the finale..."

"..."

"But unlike time stopping, time acceleration affects her. So, she accelerated an entire day instantly. She didn't get to see the finale and nearly passed out from hunger."

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan's expression morphed into an abstract form.

But when he thought about it being Bai Yi...

It seemed reasonable.

"And the reason you, Xiao Huan, are here might be related to the second phase ability of the ring finger."

Facing him, Ye Shiyu seemed unfazed by Bai Yi's antics and simply continued,

"I don't know much about the second phase either. Bai Yi herself perhaps only partially understands it.

"Anyway, according to her, she gained some ability to traverse space-time. She can travel through space-time using a pocket watch at 4:44 in the afternoon.

"I don't know the specific method or principle, nor do I know where she's been to...

"However, she seems to have traveled back in time. She mentioned changing something in the past, with effective results."

The past?

If one can travel back to the past, is it possible to travel to the future?

So, is this really the future?

Every time this thought occurred, Yan Huan still found it hard to believe,

But in front of him, Ye Shiyu continued speaking,

"Bai Yi said she could only stay in the traveling time period for 24 hours each time.

"In other words, by 4:44 the next day, if no extra actions are taken, you will immediately return to 4:44 p.m. when you traveled."

So basically...

At 4:44 tomorrow, you'll return to that... moment?

The time flow rates of the two periods are different.

Hiss...

Thinking about it, Yan Huan's head started to ache.

How to put it, knowing he'll return tomorrow is undoubtedly good news.

But going back doesn't solve the problem; he still has to wait seven days for resurrection.

After these seven days, who knows what the situation inside Linmen is?

What if he revives to find Linmen submerged, and the others have fought till everything's wiped out? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Wouldn't he immediately die again?

That would indeed be a turning point...

But amid the headache, a sudden flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he raised his head, meeting Ye Shiyu's gaze.

"..."

The atmosphere was slightly silent, so Yan Huan decided to continue questioning,

"Then, what about the third phase?"

Yan Huan remembered that the modifier seemed to have four phases,

similar to An Le's modifier, from manipulating pleasure at the start, growing tentacles, bombarding Tokyo, to the final arrival of the Evil God.

Ye Shiyu shook her head and said softly,

"I don't know."

"Why?"

"Because Bai Yi didn't persist to the third phase; her modifier got resolved by you."

"..."

Yan Huan blinked and remained silent for quite a while.

How to put it?

This should be good news, right?

"...Thank you, this was a tremendous help."

After learning so much, Yan Huan took a deep breath, his mind rapidly turning.

He...

seemed to have come up with an idea.
