Chapter 1454: Chapter 428: Pincer Offensive (Part 2)

Sakuragi Hitomi opened her mouth, momentarily stunned.

Tong Yingying looked left and right, feeling as if she were listening to a celestial script.

Thankfully, besides the deep in thought Sakuragi and Ye Shiyu, An Le seemed to be frowning too, not understanding.

So, she decided to go over and ask An Le if she had figured it out,

"Hey, An Le you..."

But just as she was about to lean over, An Le suddenly understood, quickly looking at Aria,

"Ugh... if that’s the case, then our memory confusion and the disappearance of the modifier are because we’re in this state...

"But, since Aria can overcome all of this, doesn’t that mean she’s completely unaffected by Bai Yi’s modifier?"

?!

No, how do you understand too?!

What on earth are you all talking about?!

Hello?

Request to enter the non-modifier channel!

Tong Yingying blinked, her face full of shock.

But when the others’ gazes turned towards her, her expression turned serious, as if she had understood, looking at Aria.

Upon hearing An Le’s words, Sakuragi Hitomi looked towards Aria as if grasping a life-saving straw,

"Yes! If the time-crossing Bai Yi and President are within the phone, then Aria is like the divine perspective outside watching the phone undergo changes...

"If her modifier hasn’t been affected by Bai Yi’s modifier and is still there, then given the power of the Big Thumb, maybe it could even affect the past in reverse!"

Saying this, she grabbed Aria’s hand urgently,

"Aria, try summoning your modifier, see if your ability can affect the President and the others?"

Aria subconsciously nodded, intending to start operating.

But the next second, she froze in place, staring blankly at Sakuragi Hitomi, and asked back,

"Uh... but my modifier ability... what exactly is it, huh?"

"..."

Tong Yingying chuckled in exasperation, pointing at herself,

"You’re asking us?"

"Oh."

"..."

Seeing Tong Yingying slightly flustered, Sakuragi Hitomi shot her a glance.

Then, adjusting her skirt, she sat next to Aria, patiently saying,

"Didn’t you use it before in the club battle? Recall it carefully, you can definitely do it..."

"Uh..."

Listening to Sakuragi Hitomi’s patient and firm words, Aria glanced at her from the side.

Yet for some reason, although she looked small, sitting beside her gave a sense of reassurance.

Strangely enough, although she found her annoying before, after getting familiar, she felt like a sister or a similar elder.

"Alright!"

So she nodded, closed her eyes, and recalled the situation back then.

Back then she still remembered, she was trying to win, so she went to snatch things from others.

And every time she thought about snatching something, she got excited, as if something was awakened within her.

So now it’s the same, right?

If the thing to snatch is Yan Huan, what would happen?

"Crack crack crack!!"

In the instant Aria’s thought emerged, the entire river of time fell silent.

In that moment, a mighty force transcended everything, dyeing Aria’s ordinarily "destined to disappear" golden hair with a dazzling glow.

That was...

The so-called "Divine Finger" of the Big Thumb.

"It worked!"

"Uh..."

Seeing this, the group burst with excitement.

Soon after, on top of Aria’s head, a pair of golden phantom horns appeared.

The golden horns, as usual, emitted invisible ripples affecting everything around.

But this time, possibly because the target’s world line was elsewhere, the invisible ripples seemed to break through the timelines’ barriers, dispersing upwards.

The scene presented itself as:

Above Aria’s head, a bubble-like entity was forming.

The dispersing invisible ripples were the "gas" within the bubble, while the surrounding timelines as a "barrier" emitted radiant colors, faintly revealing Aria’s thoughts...

So, everyone looked up and saw Aria’s thoughts within the bubble:

Inside, influenced by the Big Thumb, Aria’s innocent thoughts turned strange.

Ye Shiyu appeared inside.

She was seen holding a phone, anxiously watching the screen.

Above, there were countless messages sent to Yan Huan, but none had replies.

"Xiao Huan, why haven’t you replied yet..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

But, in the dead of night, suddenly Yan Huan called with a voice message.

"Hello, Sister Shiyu..."

On the other end, Yan Huan’s voice was deep, with a magnetic allure.

And just as Ye Shiyu’s eyes lit up, thinking that Xiao Huan finally replied and still liked her...

Yan Huan suddenly said,

"Sister Shiyu, from now on don’t contact me, I’m afraid Aria might misunderstand..."

"Crack!"

"..."

The bubble slowly dissipated, spreading to the void.

Yet in reality, Ye Shiyu wasn’t used to such stimulation.

She immediately turned cold-eyed, fists clenched, instinctively heading towards Aria.

"Ye Shiyu!"

"Hey, hey, calm down calm down! This is her Big Thumb’s ability, not her true thoughts!"

"Yes, yes, it’s all for Xiao Huan!"

An Le and Tong Yingying, seeing Ye Shiyu suffer due to the Big Thumb’s ability, felt a bit gloating, naturally persuading her at this moment.

But soon, their smiles faded away.

"An Le... honestly, at night, I never really felt happy with you... only when I’m with Aria do I feel alive..."
