Chapter 137

The girl with the woman’s hairstyle didn’t understand the meaning of those words. Touching her bulging stomach, her beautiful face wore the gentle smile of a mother.

He saw an expression of utter devastation on his father’s face.

“I won’t forget.” Lu Yanli took one last look at her stomach, then turned and left. Lan Zhiyu quickly followed.

“You don’t need to know.”

“What did you promise him?” the young man asked, ignoring his father’s words. He clutched his sister’s hand tightly, his eyes involuntarily turning red as he glared at his father, his voice rising, “What did you promise him?!”

“It’s nothing.” The middle-aged man’s gaze flickered over the hands of the brother and sister clasped together, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. A thousand words were reduced to one sentence: “Take good care of your sister.”

“What am I going there for?” the young man was a little resistant.

Their family had been studying Taoist arts for generations, but only he, because he had not been allowed to leave the house for eighteen years, had never had the chance to see the master who was supposed to teach him.

Who knew that his father would not answer at all, going straight to the inner room. The young man was confused for a while, but still let go of his sister’s hand and followed.

The sister watched the figures of her father and brother from where she stood, her heart filled with worry. Touching her stomach, she turned and went back to the room with her mother.

Lan Zhiyu.

Her name was so beautiful.

She didn’t understand what her role in going there was. She seemed to have done nothing, just watched him say a few words?

Was there something about her that made him unhappy?

Lu Yanli, however, felt relieved.

He was just trying to make the eldest son of the Lin family fall in love with Lan Zhiyu. Lan Zhiyu didn’t have to do anything. It was enough for that person to see her and fall in love with her.

Judging from the current experimental results, no matter when or where, the eldest son of the Lin family would definitely fall in love with Lan Zhiyu and be willing to pay any price for her resurrection.

“I should go.” After returning, Lu Yanli said.

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lan Zhiyu staring at his back, that figure quickly disappearing into the crowd, never to be seen again.

Really?

She looked at the luxurious decorations in the room, her heart filled with fear and unease.

Lan Zhiyu didn’t know that in the near future, she would know that her premonition at this moment was correct.

Lu Yanli ignored her. He took the statue and went to another time and space.

He had to ensure that everything developed according to the established future, such as that Taoist priest, who would inevitably fall in love with Lan Zhiyu, and thus would not hesitate to kill the people of the whole city for her.

And also, the birth of Lin Chu…

*

Another time and space in another world.

“Now we can enter.”

Zhuang Ci waved away the crows. They had seen life and death so often, so they were sad for a while, but still buried the person on the spot. After patting the soil off their hands, everyone prepared themselves and approached the tunnel entrance little by little.

This was the otherworld passage from the outside world to the spiritual medium town. What would happen if they went the other way?

After standing at the entrance of the cave, they finally understood what Xiao Gao meant when he said he didn’t dare to enter.

They also sensed the extremely terrifying aura inside the cave, as if there was an unknown beast lurking inside, waiting to devour people, and they were the prey.

It was dark.

Dark and cold. He heard the fine, fragmented voices of people, unable to make out what they were saying, but felt inexplicably irritable.

Unlike the others, he was more interested in what Xiao Gao had hit. After calculating the position, Lu Yanli slowly pushed his position forward, intending to find the crushed object.

Outside the tunnel, in the forest.

Her hair… was completely wet, draped behind her, dripping water.

Lin Chu, who was walking in the tunnel, suddenly stopped.

She inexplicably felt a huge sense of unease rising from her toes to the top of her head. This strong sense of unease made her want to turn back and rush out. She didn’t know what this feeling was specifically for, but Lin Chu knew very well that some extremely terrifying and irreversible change must have occurred.

She stopped.

Even if this might temporarily separate her from her teammates and Lu Yanli, she had to do so.

Lu Yanli walked for a long, long time, so long that he almost forgot the time, when he suddenly tripped over something, and the bloody and rotten smell belatedly came into his nose.

Sure enough, the car hit someone, or, a corpse.

He squatted down and slowly touched the corpse.

It was already cold, soft, and a little swollen. After being crushed, part of the flesh was stuck to the ground, and the bones were broken, piercing through the surface of the skin. He followed the tip of the shoe to touch the clothes, and roughly distinguished what the material and style were, and even imagined the color. Then, he slowly touched the person’s face, wanting to know what the other person looked like.

This was another skill he had mastered after experiencing life and death for a long time. As long as he touched it, Lu Yanli could draw the touched object.

However, this time… his fingertips touched a blank space. He incredulously groped again, but the place where the eyes and nose should have been was smooth, with nothing.

This corpse had no facial features.

Lu Yanli stood up abruptly, subconsciously taking two steps back.

No facial features meant that his death was by no means as simple as being crushed by a car.

Lu Yanli stood there for a while, thinking about something. In the moment before he was about to get lost, he decided to continue moving forward.

Escaping from another dimension is by no means as simple as going backwards. For example, he had experienced the strange blood fog space connecting the subway station, which required breaking the weirdness of that space to leave. If he simply walked forward along the rails, he didn’t know where he would go. And this time…

He didn’t know which space he would go to either.

In the dark, there were others who were silently moving forward with him.

What they didn’t know was that Lin Chu had already changed direction and planned to return to the spiritual medium town. Unfortunately, her wish may not be fulfilled.

Gradually, light appeared in front of him, and Lu Yanli knew that he was about to reach the exit. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

Like him, there were two other investigators who quickened their pace.

For safety’s sake, Lin Chu chose to let only three people enter the tunnel, and the others would respond outside. But now, the number of investigators had become two.

Lu Yanli quickly walked towards the light. In the moment before he was about to step out, he saw the outside world…

*

Another world.

Lu Yanli carried a red statue in his arms. He went to another time and space.

To be precise, he went to three years later in this world.

In these three years, many, many things happened. For example, the eldest son of the Lin family finally formally joined his master’s school to study. He was extremely intelligent, and in just a few years, he showed amazing talent.

For example, Lan Zhiyu, a once-popular female star, suddenly died suddenly, her death unclear. After her death, many people quickly forgot her.

And also, the eldest daughter of the Lin family successfully gave birth to a baby girl.

She couldn’t understand why.

The brother was unwilling to say what had happened to him. Gradually, the sister lowered her head and wiped away her tears, complaining about her grievances. After listening, the brother was furious.

The sister’s face was full of sorrow: “Then… then what should we do? She can’t always be like this without a name or status. That person didn’t say a time either, what if…”

The sister chuckled. She suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Their mother knocked on the door and walked straight in.

“Quick, there are distinguished guests visiting today, Xiao Yuan, bring Chu Chu.”

The mother ignored him, only telling him not to be rude. Lin Yuan looked back at her brother and turned to leave with her mother. The brother stood there feeling sullen for a while and followed them.

The thing he least wanted to see happened.

Damn it, why did this guy come again?

He peeked through the window, his mind a little dazed.

Why did he always feel that there should be a girl beside that man…

Strange, did he bring a woman when he came last time?

The young man fell into confusion, constantly knocking his head.

In the hall, the atmosphere was not very good.

“Long time no see.” The man nodded to them indifferently, his gaze falling on the child in Lin Yuan’s arms.

He stretched out his hand directly to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan looked at her father in a loss. The father nodded, and the girl with the woman’s hairstyle handed the child over a little uneasily.

At the unavoidable moment of touching, she felt the coldness on the other party’s body, which shocked her all over. The other party steadily caught the sleeping girl, held her skillfully in his arms, and gently patted the swaddling clothes, his movements gentle.

“Then, I’ll take the child away.” He nodded to the middle-aged man.

Lin’s father felt bitter in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and nodded.

What?!

Lin Yuan widened her eyes in disbelief, and suddenly turned her head to look at her father, and then at the man wearing the ghost mask, thinking she had heard wrong, but found that it was not a mistake, it was true! She opened her mouth, her voice dry: “You…what are you taking the child away for? Where are you going to take her?”

“Yes.” Lu Yanli didn’t shy away at all, “Only in this way can everything get on the right track.”

Lu Yanli took a half step back, just dodging Lin Yuan who wanted to pounce over and grab the child, and nodded to everyone again: “Goodbye.” After saying that, he turned and left with the child in his arms.

“Give me back the child!!!”

The tip of the sword stopped at the other party’s face, shaking a little, but the man didn’t react at all. Instead, he reduced the hand holding the child from two to one, and took out something from his arms and handed it to him.

“This is for you.”

“What is it?” The young man subconsciously took it. In the instant that the sword was deflected, the man had brushed past him.

He hesitated for a while, but still chose to open the picture album. Then, the whole person froze in place.

“Don’t go!! Stop him! Brother, stop him!!”

“My child…”

The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

He… he finally remembered.

She died.

She died! Everyone had forgotten her, even he had forgotten her.

Hahahaha…

The young man stood there, crying and laughing, his crying mournful, his laughter shrill.

The Lin family’s pair of children went crazy on the same day.

Lu Yanli didn’t care, or rather, this was exactly what he wanted to see. He wanted to set the origin of everything on the right track, and then, find loopholes in cycle after cycle. Only in this way could he transcend.

The child in his arms slept sweetly, not knowing what had happened. In her ignorance, she was taken to another time and space.

“If you don’t finish running a hundred laps in three hours, you won’t have anything to eat.”

After the man wearing the ghost mask finished speaking, he closed the room, leaving the little girl who was only a few years old standing in the room wiping her tears. After wiping away her tears, she started running around in circles with her short legs.

Lin Chu was very, very smart, so smart that she didn’t seem like a two or three-year-old child. She knew that she was taken away from her home, and also knew that the man in front of her would never be soft-hearted just because she was a child. If she didn’t obey, she might really die.

After Lu Yanli left, he went to the next room to monitor her.

There was more than one child on the monitor screen.

Lin Chu, Chu Xiu, Chu Xian, Zhuang Ci…

Lu Yanli silently recited their names, his eyes cold.

Again and again, could he succeed this time?

He didn’t know either, but he still had to do it. The time loop had been formed, either break it, or… die.

“Very good.” The man wearing the ghost mask appeared again, simply praised her, massaged her limbs, and then injected her with an unknown medicine.

Lin Chu didn’t cry.

It was said that this medicine was to enhance her physique. Lin Chu was not sure, but she did feel that her strength had increased a lot, and her running speed was also much faster.

After eating, she was required to complete training such as assembling guns, speed memorization, and imitation writing. After everything was qualified, Lu Yanli took her to a new room.

There was a dying person there, his mouth gagged, his limbs not tied.

Lin Chu remembered this person. He had looked at her with very disgusting eyes. On the way the man took her out to ask her to remember the journey and return by herself, the man talked to her and wanted to do something else, but fortunately, he was soon stopped.

“Five minutes.” Lu Yanli handed her a knife, “Either you live, or he lives.” He touched the girl’s soft hair, his voice equally soft, but the cruelty in his words terrified the man on the ground who couldn’t even crawl.

“Mmm… mmm!” The man on the ground struggled desperately like a fish on a chopping board, his eyes full of pleading.

Lin Chu looked at the knife, reached out and took it, and slowly walked towards the man.

Without the slightest hesitation, she killed him with one knife, blood splattering all over her face.

“Well done.”

Lu Yanli made her forget everything, forgot his teachings, forgot the Lin family. Then, he hugged the sleeping child and entered the ancient tomb, and through the statue and the time-space tunnel, he came to a new world.

He came to a city that had almost become a wasteland and waited quietly.

“Who’s there?”

Someone was coming.

Lu Yanli stood up, made sure the arriving investigator could see him, and turned to leave.

The girl lay on the spot, sleeping soundly.

“…disappeared… there is only a little girl… yes, she doesn’t remember anything…”

Lin Chu listened to the few people communicating in low voices, and waited quietly with her eyes open.

“…Lin…Chu…” The girl who kept shaking her head nodded and said these two words.

She didn’t remember anything except her name.
