After taking several steps, her body slowly collapsed, and she sat on the ground.

She couldn’t hold back any longer and covered her face, crying, her mind constantly replaying the scene at that time...

Yan Huan, in order to save her, was hit by a car right in front of her...

Blood splattered all over her face, and even now, that metallic smell lingered on.

"Ugh..."

Her stomach uncontrollably cramped and twitched, bringing about a feeling of nausea and vomiting, but during this time she hadn’t eaten anything, so naturally, nothing came out.

Yet, amidst this tormenting pain, she gasped for breath, looking up again...

In her eyes, tiny points of starlight shimmered.

"There... there must be a way... there must be some way!"

Yesterday, in the hospital, she saw...

those strange visions.

She saw, as if other worlds, or as if the past or future Yan Huan!

He was still alive!

Through the pocket watch in her hand, she could feel it, those worlds were real, seemingly waiting eagerly for her to enter.

At this moment, faced with that image of a world like the aurora, something within Bai Yi, akin to a Talent, rejoiced...

It was an even more distinct feeling than the first time she sang...

If only, she could enter it...

Maybe, she could save Yan Huan!

"Tick... tock..."

At this moment, as Bai Yi pondered, time drew closer and closer to 4:44 PM.

When that moment arrived, the surrounding space twisted once more, and an extraordinary scene appeared, seemingly visible only to Bai Yi...

Countless visions, like wide open doors, were welcoming Bai Yi’s arrival.

The pocket watch in her hand spun rapidly, as if for the first time having an extremely intense reaction to the opened "doors of time and space."

"Buzz!!"

"Crack, crack, crack!!!"

And as Bai Yi, inexperienced and timid, looked at the "doors" around her with faintly emerging different sceneries...

One of the doors suddenly appeared with ripples, like water waves...

As if something was about to come out.

"Tick... tock..."

The pocket watch in Bai Yi’s hand spun wildly, and subsequently, the ripples became more pronounced.

"Pop!!"

The next second, under Bai Yi’s surprised gaze, the ripples turned bit by bit into substance, condensing into a flickering white phantom that burst out and slowly landed in front of Bai Yi.

"Meow~"

Bai Yi stared blankly as that halo descended bit by bit, then gradually became clear...

Until, finally, it became a long-haired cat, pure white all over and surrounded by fluorescence.

"A cat?"

Bai Yi’s hoarse voice rang out, catching the attention of the still closed-eyed white cat.

Immediately, the white cat slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of dazzling golden pupils.

"Bai Yi..."

The white cat looked at Bai Yi, then spoke with a childlike voice indistinguishable as male or female.

"Hey, hey, hey, the cat... the cat talked!!"

This startled Bai Yi, causing her to back away all of a sudden.

But seeing Bai Yi constantly retreating, the white cat shook its body, which seemed both illusory and real.

It showed an expression of speechlessness, glanced at the constantly turning pocket watch in Bai Yi’s hand, and explained,

"I am the modifier you possess... that is, the embodiment of the pocket watch in your hand, meow!"

"Em... bodiment?"

"That’s right, you can call me [Yan Ye]..."

"..."

Hearing this, Bai Yi then looked blankly at the white cat in front of her that called itself "Yan Ye."

Then, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her eyes lifted to gaze toward the myriad worlds blooming like flowers behind the white cat...

In her eyes, a faint light flickered, gradually transforming into a resolute color.

"...Then tell me, what exactly are these things behind you?"

"Meow?"

Hearing this, the white long-haired cat turned its head to glance at the flow of light behind it. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Then, it turned its head back to look at Bai Yi, its golden feline pupils staring straight at the girl in front of it,

"Bai Yi, do you... want to change what happened in the past, meow?"

Hearing the words of the cat in front of her, Bai Yi widened her eyes.

She seemed somewhat skeptical, but...

Thinking of the tragic scene of Yan Huan’s death before her, and thinking of his lifeless, pale corpse in the morgue, Bai Yi couldn’t help but want to cry...

The intense emotion not only made the pocket watch in her hand spin swiftly but also caused the color deep in her eyes to gradually become resolute.

"Change... the past?"

And the white cat in front of her blinked at that, subconsciously licking its paw pad, then spoke smoothly,

"That’s right, and coincidentally...

"I can help you～"
