Chapter 49: Entangled Return of Disaster Without Days (6)
“But he never expected that Keling would actually become his daughter later.
“Why would Dad do something like this?”
“I don’t know, but the only thing I know is that this is related to Grandpa too. You see, the diary also mentions going to see Grandpa at the end.
“Him again…”
It feels like everything is related to him, giving people the feeling that he is the ultimate Mastermind behind it all.
I only recently found out about his connection to the organization, and that he is a high-ranking member. But that’s all I know; I have no idea about the more detailed information. Originally, such information is classified. The members of the organization’s high-level decision-making body are basically nameless, just like Seele, they don’t appear directly. Perhaps even during meetings, they are in dark rooms, communicating only by voice.
Well, who knows what the true purpose of these mysterious organizations is? Whatever it is, getting together definitely doesn’t mean anything good; they must be plotting something big.
However, the organization currently only operates in the hidden world, so it doesn’t affect ordinary people in the surface world.
“Yes, it seems that to figure everything out, I have to go to Grandpa’s place to investigate.
“Go now?”
“How could I? I just came to confirm this matter. Knowing the reason for this is purely an unexpected gain. The real purpose was to see if I could remember anything after coming home.
“Did you remember anything, Juncheng?”
“Completely nothing.”
As a result, I still didn’t remember anything!
“I had some recollection when Zihua mentioned District 8 before, but after thinking carefully, I can’t remember anything. My mind is completely blank. No matter what, I shouldn’t forget so thoroughly… Ugh, it seems this amnesia isn’t just simple forgetfulness. Perhaps Li Nai directly deleted or damaged this memory with a virus.
“Then we have no idea what will happen next?”
“That’s right. We can only act according to the situation and make some changes within our power. Although I’m not confident I can prevent any zombie crisis. We are not scientists hired by the military, and if we were to concoct a serum, it would probably take decades.
“But the organization, they might be able to stop the zombie crisis. After all, the organization’s creed is to maintain the balance of the world and will not allow such a major anomaly to occur.
I said this with uncertainty.
I could only place my last hope on the organization, which made me feel a little uneasy.
After all, when I learned that the person who designed my and Juncheng’s birth was a high-ranking member of the organization, my sense of belonging to the organization completely disappeared.
There was only unease about the unknown conspiracy and worry for the future.
“The organization… Forget it, we can only take it one step at a time. Let’s go out first.
After re-clipping the paternity test report into the diary and returning it to its original place, I tried my best to restore the room to its original state. Dad is a very observant person, and if I didn’t do this to this extent, he might have found a flaw.
After leaving the study and about to go downstairs, Juncheng suddenly stopped and said.
“Ah, by the way, let me leave a note…”
“A note?”
Juncheng walked towards his room and said to me.
“Just to leave some information for my past self.
“Wait! Doing this will change the worldline! We can’t interfere too much with the past!”
Juncheng should have watched a certain anime called Steins;Gate. A new one came out recently… Ahem, never mind that, leaving information can have a significant impact!
Just sending a text message to the past can completely change the past due to the butterfly effect!
“It’s not that serious. We are in the past now, not sending a message to the past, so it won’t cause too much impact. Besides, I’m not going to write anything, just remind my past self. Here, look.
Juncheng showed me the note he wrote.
It said [Remember to lock the door when sleeping at night].
“To prevent Xinran from sneaking into my room at night, I need to leave a note to remind myself, otherwise, my innocence will be at risk.”
“But will that really work?”
After all, since it’s already proven that Xinran is not your biological sister, shouldn’t there be nothing to worry about anymore…?
I suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Why would I have the thought, ‘If she’s not my sister anymore, then there’s no problem’?
Because Juncheng already has a harem, he subconsciously thinks, ‘What’s one more?’
This habit is too dangerous… If this continues, the harem will continue to expand, and by then, it might turn into a wine pool and meat forest that will be censored 108,000 times!
This can’t go on anymore!
Originally, I thought I should try to avoid affecting the past as much as possible, but now it seems necessary.
“I hope it works… Hmm, even if Xinran has a way to unlock the door, won’t it make a sound when she unlocks it? Maybe I’ll wake up when I hear that sound…”
“This won’t do, it’s too simple. We need to implement more comprehensive protection.
Huh?”
I snatched the pen from Juncheng’s hand and started writing on the back of the note.
First, locking the door is not enough. We also need to lock the windows, and we can’t drink the drinks Xinran prepares, as they might contain sleeping pills.
Also, I can no longer shower with my sister, and of course, I can’t sleep with her. Don’t let your guard down just because she’s a primary school student. Xinran has long treated Juncheng as a man. The first time of self-comfort was at this time. Letting the precocious Xinran and Juncheng be together is too dangerous.
Besides, there’s Keling. If I had to say, Keling is an even more dangerous existence than Xinran. That kind of obsession and infatuation is very similar to Lanhua.
But now that I know Keling is Juncheng’s biological sister, I definitely can’t let this wrong emotion continue.
“Uh, Zi’ai… What else did you write… You said not to interfere too much with the past…”
“This is necessary.”
I won’t say anything about others, but family is family, and we need to draw a clear line.
Both Keling and Xinran, as sisters, treat their brother as a lover, so the boundary between kinship and love becomes ambiguous.
I originally wanted to write something else, but I found that the note was already full. Just as I was about to find another piece of paper to write on, I heard the sound of a lock being opened downstairs.
Did someone come back?
“Oh no, someone’s back!”
“Hmm? Zi’ai, did you hear something?”
“Yes! It’s the sound of a lock being opened, we need to leave quickly!”
We are in Juncheng’s room now, and it’s risky to jump out of his room. It would be better to go down to the second floor.
After putting down the note, as I was about to open the door and quietly go downstairs, I suddenly remembered something.
We’re not wearing shoes!
“Oh no, our shoes! They’re still at the entrance!”
If the family members see them, they’ll definitely find out!
“There’s no other way!”
Juncheng gritted his teeth, hugged me around the waist, turned around, ran to the window, opened it, and leaped out.
I covered my mouth with my hands, holding back the scream.
A giant eye in mid-air caught us, or rather, we jumped into that eye!
Then, in the next second, we landed on our butts and opened our eyes to find ourselves in a room.
This room looked like a hotel guest room, and Juncheng and I both fell onto the bed.
What’s going on? Why did we suddenly end up here…
Right, that eye I saw earlier…
Could it be
“These are your shoes. Please put them on and sit on the chair here before we start talking.”
That calm and elegant voice came from in front of me, and it was indeed her who transferred us here!
Seeing that person, Juncheng couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Shirley!”
! ok6F4C.O
The white-haired Head Maid looked the same, but she was different from the Head Maid we knew. She was less friendly and more serious.
“So, can the two of you please explain ‘what exactly are you’?”
“Uh, you don’t know who we are? I remember Shirley, you can see the future, so you should know who we are.”
Yes, this Head Maid is a demon of Laplace, knowing everything and able to predict the future. Time is meaningless to her.
“I know who you are, but I don’t understand ‘why you are here’.”
Huh?”
“The two of you are not from this era, especially this one. You shouldn’t have a physical body.”
The Head Maid said, looking at me.
Her gaze was very cold, as if she were scrutinizing a criminal, making me shiver involuntarily.
“—I can’t tell you the specifics, and can’t you read minds? Don’t you know what we’re thinking?”
“Indeed, I can see through most people’s thoughts, but it’s ineffective on you.”
Hmm? Why is that?
“Hmm? Why is that?”
Juncheng voiced the question in my heart, but the Head Maid didn’t explain directly and instead deflected.
“Returning to the past is not something anyone can do, and generally, even if you return to the past, you can’t change anything. But your existence is affecting the future. For example, this small note that was just left is enough to cause significant changes in the future.”
The note I had just written appeared in the Head Maid’s hand, and the next second, an eye swallowed the note. Our shoes were probably also teleported over this way.
“I don’t know how the two of you returned to the past, nor how you managed to escape causality and change the fate of the world… If possible, please don’t do anything and just return to your original world.”
It was as if Cai Cui was urging me to tell the truth.
