Chapter 75: Long Time No See
Lou Ling, who had lost her memory, was taken away by Li Nai, and I didn’t follow.
This was partly because Li Nai said I wouldn’t be of much help if I went. On the other hand, I instinctively felt it was better not to be by Lou Ling’s side right now.
Thus, with no place to go, I could only wander around to pass the time. In any case, I wasn’t going home. I definitely wasn’t going home.
Going to the cinema or an arcade alone felt incredibly lonely, and I wasn’t in the mood for either. So, I reverted to an old habit and went to the park bench, bought a can of coffee, and sat down.
“Haaah…”
Although quite a few terrible things had happened here, it seemed to be the place that relaxed me the most.
I half-reclined on the bench like a paralyzed person, contemplating Lou Ling.
Lou Ling, who housed the entire world’s girl, how could she be influenced by the power of a mere Master of Fate? Wait, it’s not necessarily Lou Ling being influenced by Yang Shifan’s power right now.
Then why did she become like this? I had no idea. If I had the ability to backtrack time, I could have figured out the whole story. Unfortunately, only Zihua could do that.
Speaking of which, thinking back now, it’s indeed strange. The world’s plan was to replace the Three Disasters with the Three Defects, and then give me the karma to collect all nine Destinies. So, why was their own Witch of Fate allowed to be snatched away?
Even if it was inconvenient to appear, when necessary, one should show up and make a statement to ensure the plan proceeds smoothly.
If the world had appeared, I wouldn’t have had to painstakingly investigate the Witch of Calamity who abducted Lou Ling. Speaking of which, I still have that horn. Since I have nothing to do now, why not investigate it? “Alright!”
Crushing the coffee can and tossing it into a nearby trash can, I took out the horn I got from Qin Jiu. A string was tied to the horn.
The specific method of use was like a compass. Hold the horn in the air by the string, and the direction its tip points is the “true” location.
I didn’t know the exact distance, so I decided to walk first. If I couldn’t find it before midnight, I would give up. We’d deal with it when it came to that.
“Hmm, let me see.” After spinning several times, the horn pointed at me.
Huh? Me? How could it be me! Could it be that the culprit I’ve been searching for is actually myself? That I have a split personality, and my evil persona acts on its own while I’m asleep? This kind of plot twist is too cliché.
“I don’t think it’s pointing at you, but rather behind you.”
“I see. It’s not pointing at me, but behind me. I was being foolish. Thanks for the reminder.” Behind me?
I immediately realized something was wrong and lunged forward, turning on one foot. However, the other party didn’t attack me, just watched me with amusement.
“Who is it!”
“Don’t you have the horn? You still don’t know who I am?”
He looked very much like Qin Jiu, but his hair was longer, and his overall aura was completely different.
He wore a black suit, white gloves, and stood still, exuding a sense of steadiness.
The moment I saw him, I thought of Miss Shirley. Huh? Why did I think of Miss Shirley? I’m not even sure myself. Perhaps his first impression was similar to my first impression of Miss Shirley.
He is the true Qin Jiu of this world. It’s a strange feeling. I’ve seen many Anomalies – some mad, some twisted, some indifferent – but one as upright as him is a first.
“However, I’ve given my original name to the other him who unexpectedly arrived in this different world, so please call me ‘Qiye’ for now.”
“If you don’t mind, could you please give me the horn in your hand? I have some use for it.”
“Of course, but you have to return everything you took from Lou Ling.”
“Lou Ling? You mean that… (Marionette X)?”
Marionette? With that title, does he also know Lou Ling is the world?
“If you’re referring to Xi’er, she is not his Witch of Fate, so it’s not like I snatched anything from her. In that case, there’s no reason to return anything, right?”
What? Xi’er is not Lou Ling’s Witch of Fate?
Is Lou Ling lying to me? Or is this guy calling himself Qiye lying?
Well, it doesn’t matter which it is. I’ll deal with that “later.”
“But you took her legs, didn’t you?”
“Ah, that’s true. She was rather troublesome, so I deprived her of her mobility.”
“Then that reason is enough. Kneel!”
The sudden order, the other party’s eyes widened. He took a step forward, and the park floor sank three inches, bearing his weight.
“Whoa, you’re quite domineering. You’re going straight for the hard approach?”
“You’re quite skilled. Actually, you’re more skilled than I am.”
Unlike Yang Shifan, who nullified my abilities with Destiny Power, this person didn’t use any abilities.
“Not at all. Compared to you, I am insignificant. You are destined to replace the world; how could a small character like me compare myself to you?”
So he knew. He knew Lou Ling was the world, and even knew the world’s plan.
But the world had no reason to tell him the plan. How did he know about this plan that only the world and I knew?
“But that was in the previous world. Whether you will become ‘God’ in this world remains to be seen.”
This really shocked me!
“I have no conflict with you. Your Witch of Calamity is not what I need, and my Witch of Sin is not what you need.”
“Sin? Are you the Master of Fate of the Seven Deadly Sins?”
Didn’t they say that Masters of Fate and Witches of Fate were super rare, like one in ten thousand times less likely than drawing a five-star in a gacha?
But now they’re popping up like they’re free. How many Masters of Fate and Witches of Fate have gathered in this city?
Is this where a Holy War is going to take place?
“Precisely. And you already possess nine Destinies, so you don’t need to snatch mine. Therefore, we can sit down and talk peacefully, and even help each other, can’t we?”
Qiye extended his hand towards me with a kind smile.
I directly slapped his hand away and said disdainfully.

“It’s too late to take them off now. I won’t join forces with you. Hand over Xi’er, or I’ll kill you.”
“What a pity.”
Qiye’s smile vanished, replaced by pity in his eyes. He snapped his fingers, and a bunch of people appeared from the surrounding bushes with rustling sounds.
Subordinates? Is he going to use a swarm tactic?
But this isn’t the first time I’ve fought against overwhelming odds alone.
Back then, I was surrounded by dozens of killers but still remained composed. Now, you think a few shrimps like you can deal with me? You’re underestimating me too much.
Moreover, back then I had to conserve my Destiny Power. Now, there’s no need for that.
“Fall!”
As soon as I spoke, the assassins rushing towards me tripped on the flat ground as if they had hit an invisible obstacle, falling face-first.
He really underestimated me. If Qiye knows so much about me, he should know my abilities. Using such a useless swarm tactic knowing my abilities? I don’t think he’s that stupid a guy.
This means this is just a diversion, and there are still hidden trump cards not yet revealed!
As expected, Qiye appeared in front of me the next moment, teleporting! He clenched his fingers like audo-strike aiming for my abdomen. It was extremely difficult to dodge. I didn’t even have time to speak. I activated Thought Acceleration, retreating while making Qiye speak to trigger Calamity from the Mouth.
Tsk. Just as I was about to deactivate Thought Acceleration, I saw Qiye’s lips move. I thought he was being an annoying brat speaking under my command, but the upward curve of his lips told me things weren’t that simple.
Damn, I fell for it!
I had already jumped back and couldn’t change my posture. There must be a killing blow waiting behind me. Is this it?
I’ve used all my trump cards, only to be countered so easily. Damn it, he had it all figured out! Precisely because he knew my background, he could counter me with the simplest method. I don’t know what awaits me from behind. A dagger piercing my chest? Or the trigger of a gun? Calamity is unavoidable. I gave up struggling and prepared to take the attack from behind.
However, what awaited me from behind was completely different from what I expected. It wasn’t anything hard.
Instead, it was soft and pleasant to the touch, divided into two parts.
Huh? Is this?
A girl’s breasts—and they felt quite substantial. This size felt familiar. Unfortunately, I can’t identify people by their breasts.
Then I saw a pair of arms wrap around my neck and embrace me. Was this an attempt to strangle me?
Isn’t this giving me an opportunity? If you don’t finish me off at once, I’ll have time to use ventriloquism to trigger Calamity from the Mouth. The other party couldn’t have overlooked this.
Is it possible they just want to hug me?
Uh, no way.
However, the result turned out to be as I suspected. The other party just seemed to want to hug me.
And Qiye, standing before me, under my command, said he “would fall,” and was vertically slammed to the ground.
Thought Acceleration deactivated. My back made contact with a deformed, enlarged, squishy sensation. The other party held me tightly and didn’t let go.
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo…”
Huh? This way of laughing? !
Could it be, could it really be…
“It’s been so long; I was almost arid with loneliness. Good night.”
Before I could even call out her name, I lost consciousness on the spot.
“Then, as agreed, he’s yours, and the horn is mine.”
“Yes, the transaction is complete. You’re an eyesore. Can you disappear quickly?”
“Indeed. I hope I never see you again in this lifetime, you terrifying woman.”
“I don’t want to be told that by someone who wants to become a demon.”
“I want to become a demon, but you are the real demon. I pity the person you’re holding.”
“Hoo hoo hoo, you wouldn’t understand. This is love, right~ Juncheng~”
