She just stared at him like that, but he couldn't see her face clearly...

He could only see a little glistening on her cheek.

"Yan Huan..."

Vaguely, Yan Huan heard for the first time, a voice as melodious as a nightingale.

Her tone quivered, as if she made a decision.

"I...will save you..."

Save me?

Why save me?

I'm not...

Did nothing happen?

The car accident before, even if something happened, hasn't it passed already?

Ye Shiyu's modifier progress has reset to zero, and she is willing to give up the modifier...

Nothing happened to him...

Why is she crying saying she wants to save me?

"..."

Yan Huan's confusion deepened, but his consciousness grew heavier.

Until the next second, he completely dropped his head, and fainted right there.

This alley was very secluded and quiet, with a person lying down that no one noticed.

Among them, Yan Huan's phone might have lightly chimed, reminding him of a message on plane, but he was completely unconscious, unable to notice.

Until time gradually passed beyond 4:44 PM...

"Beep beep... tap tap..."

...

...

"Beep beep... tap tap..."

In the darkness, Yan Huan suddenly opened his eyes.

He quickly opened his eyes, only to find himself lying in his home bed.

The curtains were closed tightly, vaguely feeling the depth of the night outside.

Yan Huan wiped his face, but found his face clean, with nothing on it.

"Hmm?"

When did he come back?

But just as this thought emerged, Yan Huan couldn't help but feel puzzled again.

He...

Wasn't he going to work normally today, then went to the Golden Lion Group at noon to see An Le and Sakuragi Hitomi...

In the afternoon, he took a ride back with Sister Shiyu, and also checked out the site for An Le's villa in the villa district.

Then, at night, he chatted with Sister Shiyu on the windowsill, freshened up and went to sleep?

Why does he feel mysteriously at home?

Moreover, he always felt he messaged An Le, she also asked him to go to the Golden Lion Group...

"..."

Yan Huan started to have a headache, but couldn't sleep, quickly got up and turned on the bedside lamp.

Picked up the phone, seeing the time was already dawn.

He quickly opened plane, checking the chat history with An Le.

However, today's chat history only had a few villa real photos he sent her...

Other than that, nothing more.

"..."

Was it an illusion...

But Yan Huan wasn't just like this, he also remembered, he had asked Tong Yingying to investigate someone.

And that person was very important.

So, puzzled, he opened Tong Yingying's chat record, sent her a message,

"Sister Tong, do you remember the person I asked you to investigate before? How is it, any news?"

This time, Tong Yingying must not be asleep.

Sure enough, the next second her username turned to "typing...".

"Investigate? No? Maybe you forgot to tell me?"

"..."

No?

"I happen to be in the group now, need any information I send you?"

"..."

Yan Huan subconsciously wanted to type, to inquire, but his mind seemed short-circuited, unable to remember that person's name at all.

No no...

Yan Huan suddenly remembered something, quickly opened the Demon Shop.

In an instant, a silent dark sea appeared.

Together with the previous crab coin task interface also appeared in front of Yan Huan, reminded about the progress.

[The favorability progress of other females towards Ye Shiyu remains unchanged, please keep up the good work]

[The current favorability as follows]

[Sakuragi Hitomi: 31%]

[An Le: -91%]

[Tong Yingying: 3%]

[Aria: 0%]

Yan Huan subconsciously dismissed the interface in front of him, revealing a name he carved himself in the sand behind it.

"Bai Yi"

That's right!

That's the name!

Looking at this name, Yan Huan's memory was awakened a little.

She...

Hmm?

Yan Huan blinked, but at this moment, apart from this name and another called "Zuo Jiangqin"...

He couldn't remember anything at all.

"..."

Yan Huan immediately exited the Demon Shop interface and then sent a message to Tong Yingying.

"Can you help me check on someone named Bai Yi, Sister Tong?"

"OK"

Before long, a message came back,

"Did you remember the name wrong? There's no such person..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He took out his phone in confusion and searched for "Bai Yi" in the search bar...

However, what came up were only a few Dragon Country social media accounts and interfaces with the same name.

"..."

Unconvinced, Yan Huan opened up Plane again and asked Tong Yingying,

"Then can you help me check on someone named 'Zuo Jiangqin'?"

"Alright..."

There was a long silence from the other side, then another message came,

"Found her... She smuggled into Dragon Country over a decade ago, seems to be working at a restaurant in the South District now, low income, single and divorced.

"Her ex-husband's surname is Bai, and now she's married to another local from Linmen, no kids..."

Hmm?

Yan Huan felt increasingly confused, but as he asked more, his memories started coming back. His fingers trembled on the phone for a while before he asked again,

"Does this Zuo Jiangqin... have a daughter?"

This time, Tong Yingying replied without hesitation, firmly,

"No."

"?"

Seeing this, Yan Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sat up.

No...

Earlier today...

Not only did I not go to work, but I should have...

"..."

Yan Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly sat up, put on his slippers, threw on a coat, and rushed out the door.

Outside was silent; his mother was already asleep and didn't notice Yan Huan running out of the house in the middle of the night without sleeping.

Yan Huan ran through the night, booked a ride to the Golden Lion Building on a ride-hailing app, and tirelessly searched for the name "Bai Yi" across various social media, video platforms, and more.

However, across all platforms...

Whether Plane, search engines, video platforms, or the variety show page for "Girl Group Face-off"...

There were no results!

"Beep beep!!"

Until, with eyes wide in shock, the lights of the ride-hailing car shone on his face, the honk waking him up.

"Click!"

Only then did Yan Huan quickly get in the car, heading to the Golden Lion Building.

He didn't enter the Golden Lion Building but followed his memory to its entrance.

Here, earlier this morning, there seemed to be a silhouette wearing a baseball cap standing.

Then...

After getting off the car, Yan Huan, still in pajamas, ran toward somewhere ahead.

Until, in the darkness, there appeared a narrow alley.

"Ha..."

Yan Huan panted heavily, turning around to look toward the alley.

Inside...

There was no one.

Except for a phantom, crystalline jade-like viscous substance quietly lying on the ground.

That was...

A fragment of the modifier.

"!!"

Looking at the fragment, Yan Huan's unease seemed to solidify, about to erupt.

But before the final answer came, his body instinctively moved toward the fragment.

"Crack!!"

As he approached the fragment, it gradually transformed into a faint glow, entering the Fragment Refiner within Yan Huan's body.

[Congratulations, you have successfully repaid the fragment debt]

[Current remaining fragment debt: 0]

[The modifier is now unlocked]

Staring at the illusionary interface that appeared before him, Yan Huan's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

But in the next second, he heard the sound of chains rattling, as if the shackles that once bound him were being released.

He subconsciously touched his body, but felt nothing.

"Buzz..."

Only a faint glow emerged from within him.

The light dissipated bit by bit, but like ink in water, it twisted the colors of the surrounding world.

Tonight in Linmen, the night seemed deeper than any previous night.

Yet in the dimness, a pair of divine emerald eyes slowly opened.

The darkness boiled as those emerald eyes appeared, finally condensing into a fluffy figure...

This is...

"Meow..."

The next second, before Yan Huan appeared a...

Black cat, long unseen.

"Meow..."

"Yan Huan! Big... Big trouble, meow!!"

And right in front of him, the Meow he had always thought of as Useless now opened its mouth, bringing the dawn of the world...

Because it said,

"Bai... Bai Yi did something incredible, meow, Yan Huan!!!"
