Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1210 - 17: Did I Return to the Past or the Future (Part 2)
"So according to you, you traveled out and then traveled back, and later we all joined that Signal Flag plan, handing over our brains and names?"
Codename 101 turned angrily to the Top Student: "Look at what you’ve done! Haven’t I told you before, after I die, I want my ashes forged into a great sword and thrown into the deep mountains to await a fated person? Is this how you treat my last wish?"
"I’m sorry!"
The Top Student in this era is just a meek bespectacled girl, only capable of apologizing repeatedly.
Apart from personal emotion experiences, Li Mumu summarized all her experiences and recounted them to the two.
"Alright then, considering our many years of friendship, let’s re-introduce ourselves, my name is Li Yufei."
"My name is Wen Ya."
The Top Student shyly reached out her hand in greeting.
"What about me?"
Li Mumu was genuinely curious about what her name was before she traveled through time.
"You’re called Li Gou Dan."
"You’re the freaking Li Gou Dan!"
"It’s true."
Li Yufei suppressed her laughter and took out a photo from her phone, showing the three of them in school uniforms in front of Daylily Academy.
It had the signature watermark of all three.
——Li Yufei, Wen Ya, and Li Gou Dan will always be good friends.
I don’t freaking believe it!
Li Mumu gritted her teeth.
Shen Qingxi would do such boring things as latte art with pee and fart to blow out candles.
Outdoor missions don’t allow personal electronic items; the phones are all temporarily assigned. Where did you get the photo?
"You wouldn’t understand because you lost your memory; photos can’t be photoshopped."
"I don’t believe you for a second!"
Wen Ya said softly on the side: "She’s teasing you, your Chinese name is Ai Xi."
Li Mumu was puzzled: "What do you mean by Chinese name, do I have an English name too?"
"Yes, your mother is from Germany, and she named you Alice. You thought it didn’t sound good, so you changed your ID card name to Ai Xi."
Ai Xi, also known as Ace, Old A, the Ace.
This sounds more like her style.
Li Mumu nodded with satisfaction, then asked: "So what’s the deal now? Do you think this is Dreamland or something else?"
"It’s definitely not Dreamland."
Wen Ya shook her head: "We all just took the Freud test, proving we are very lucid and have the ability to think independently. This at least shows we’re not hallucinations imagined by you."
"But it’s also not completely the Real World."
Li Yufei said seriously: "I tried to contact the rear, their attitude was strange, saying nothing, only insisting we continue the mission, it felt like they were possessed."
The so-called soldiers at the outside, the command must not be obeyed.
Realizing something was wrong, Li Yufei decisively chose to go solo.
"First, we can rule out the possibility of you traveling back."
"Why?"
"It doesn’t make sense, you traveled back because you died, you didn’t die there, you even started Immortal Cultivation, right?"
"The problem isn’t on our side."
Li Yufei, as an outsider, said something that enlightened Li Mumu: "Do you think, at this point in time, are we really the most important?"
"At most, we’re just playing a supporting role; the real significant change at this juncture is annihilation."
For the three of them, today is just a relatively risky field mission.
But for annihilation, today she will obtain the "Blood of Defiance" within Li Mumu, completely freeing herself from the slave contract imposed by the Federation Consortium, gaining true freedom.
"From the outcome, if we cancel this mission, annihilation will not gain freedom—thinking backward from this result, isn’t there a possibility that someone deliberately pulled you back to this point in time, specifically targeting annihilation?"
Mad people have vast thoughts.
No matter past or present, Shen Qingxi among the three always had the most erratic thinking.
She never thinks in a conventional way but you have to admit her thoughts make sense.
"So now the question becomes... should I follow the original fate trajectory?"
Li Mumu didn’t question Li Yufei’s hypothetical conjecture; though absurd, at least it’s a direction, better than running around like a headless chicken.
"If I don’t go in today, will I not die?"
"Possibly! If we go back now, although we will definitely be punished, we can at least escape the inevitable death flag."
Li Yufei threw the fries in her hand to the seagulls in the air.
"Let’s go home! Just consider it as having a dream."
"There’s another possibility."
Wen Ya, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "The timeline is not so easily altered. If you truly traveled back from the past, it shouldn’t just be us three here chatting."
"So much time has passed, why hasn’t Lucia come to have tea with you yet?"
"Therefore, we are not on that true timeline."
"Little Ai, this isn’t the Real World. You’ve probably been dragged into the tidal wave brought by Shiyan."
"Tsk."
Li Yufei pouted; she thought of this too but didn’t say it out loud.
Li Mumu sucked the last of her ice-cold cola, tossed the paper cup into the nearby trash can, and softly asked: "If I don’t release annihilation today, will annihilation not appear on this timeline?"
"No."
Wen Ya shook her head: "If my guess is true, with annihilation’s capability, she surely would’ve prepared a backup plan. Whether you are present or not is the same. The Blood of Defiance isn’t exclusive to you; she’d merely spend more effort to find another key."
"But if you don’t return, staying here won’t benefit you."
"How is there no benefit?"
Li Yufei immediately countered: "Isn’t it good to happily live out the rest of your life? Life is short, seize the day, let’s accomplish our things, why be so serious?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"But our world no longer has a future."
Wen Ya said seriously: "Clearly, we are already in Shiyan. Today someone can arrange for Little Ai to return and alter the origin of annihilation. Tomorrow who knows what might happen. Eventually, our timeline will just be torn asunder."
"So, Little Ai, go back, this is not your home."
Li Yufei rolled her eyes; she clearly didn’t agree with Wen Ya’s pessimistic view.
But she would still respect Li Mumu’s decision.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Li Mumu stretched lazily, smiled, and said: "Do you have anything you want me to bring back for you? At the time point I’m at, you two also have amnesia, although your personalities haven’t really changed."
Li Yufei shrugged: "No need, I’m not as sentimental as you."
Wen Ya also shook her head lightly.
Watching Li Mumu turn to leave, Wen Ya bit her lip, holding back the tears at the corners of her eyes.
"You’re the kind of person who... just like this..."
Li Yufei snorted coldly: "For her, it’s something that already happened, but for us, it’s the first experience, isn’t it just standing idly by as she goes to her death?"
"If destiny develops in the direction she says, I won’t live long either."
"Afterwards, there will be no one to look after you anymore."
"Top Student, you have to learn to be strong."
Wen Ya finally couldn’t hold back, squatting down to hug her legs, silently sobbing.
Li Yufei walked over, patted her on the head, and laughed: "Don’t move from here, I’ll go buy some oranges for you to eat."
Wen Ya suddenly raised her head: "Where are you going?"
"What else? Little Ai is a fool, Little Ya is an intellectual, without me, this family would fall apart."
Li Yufei put away her smile, seriously saying: "You know I never resign myself to fate, I want to see just how powerful that annihilation is. Something the Principal could explode with one arrow, I doubt it’s anything remarkable."
