Chapter 144

Lu Yanli at this moment was unaware of the suspicion that had arisen in Chu Xian’s heart. Nor did Lu Yanli, hidden in another spirit medium town, know that Lin Chu had the chance to say that sentence, causing Chu Xian’s attitude to begin to shift.

He had also experienced all of that. At that time, he was crushed by the building, and after escaping, he met Chu Xian again, from a past timeline, who had not yet died.

At that time, Chu Xian was still immersed in the grief of Lin Chu’s death and did not notice his strangeness. She thought he was just an unfortunate passerby caught in a bizarre incident. Therefore, Chu Xian also concealed her origins, only saying that she was just passing by.

But now, the established trajectory of fate had a slight deviation.

Lu Yanli was silent for a second.

“Space-time tunnel?” he asked softly.

“I’m not kidding. Believe me, what I’m saying is true.” Chu Xian pointed to the distance. “Look, a deserted city, a strange sky, a building collapsing suddenly, this is not normal.”

She didn’t raise her head, afraid that the eye was still in the sky. And she didn’t want the other person to know about it, so she simply didn’t mention it.

“I have.”

Lu Yanli had already determined that the other person was probably a Chu Xian from another timeline who hadn’t become a “task-doer” yet. He thought for a while, and to prevent the other person from treating him as a resident of this world, he simply said, “Actually, I also entered through a time tunnel, so I’m also unfamiliar with this world.”

Suddenly, his gaze paused.

It appeared again.

This ubiquitous thing.

Soon, Chu Xian’s gaze began to blur. Lu Yanli was a little puzzled.

In the past, his psychological suggestion wasn’t… this fast? If it was because Chu Xian’s mind wasn’t firm, that reason didn’t hold up.

This kind of rapid completion of psychological suggestion generally appeared in cases where he had planted a seed in the other person before. For example, he had done with An Xingyu and He Lou. The former would trust him subconsciously, and the latter would obey him out of fear.

But he was absolutely certain that he had never met Chu Xian.

No, sometimes memories weren’t necessarily reliable.

Lu Yanli buried the question in his heart, while asking questions, he did a psychological check on himself and found no abnormalities.

Then, the problem might be with Chu Xian.

Hearing this, Lu Yanli’s brow jumped.

So Lin Chu had gone to that world? Clearly, they had entered the tunnel at the same time, so why did she go to a different place?

Before Lu Yanli could figure it out, he heard even more astonishing information.

The horror novel she wrote came true?

Chu Xian was in a daze. She vaguely had a sense of familiarity, and this person in front of her made her feel very safe. Subconsciously, she felt that this person would not harm her.

“Of course, but… I’ve written many books, which one do you want to hear about?”

Chu Xian thought for a while and started talking about the story of a village.

Wasn’t this story exactly what he had experienced?

He didn’t show anything on his face. After she finished speaking, he asked casually, “Why are you so impressed with this story?”

Chu Xian smiled a little embarrassedly: “Actually, strictly speaking, this story isn’t entirely mine. It’s my… a friend. He sent me many, many paintings and also liked to exchange horror novel creation ideas with me.”

“What impressed me the most was what he said to me after he finished telling this story.” Chu Xian repeated the sentence, “There are no two identical leaves in the world, no two identical rivers, and no two identical people.”

“There won’t be the same people?” Lu Yanli suddenly asked, “What if the future self comes to the past? Wouldn’t there be two identical people in the same space-time?”

Chu Xian shook her head: “I also raised this question, but he told me that this was a mistake, and when the order was restored to normal, it would automatically fix the error. Time is like a long river, and people are like leaves, falling into the river and can only move forward with the flow.”

Lu Yanli closed his eyes and then opened them again.

Error correction, doesn’t that mean eliminating one of them?

Chu Xian shook her head: “He’s an online friend. I don’t know his information, but he did provide me with a lot of help.”

“I took a few, of course.” Chu Xian reached out to take out her mobile phone, only to find her pocket empty. “Where’s my phone? I took a lot of pictures.”

She didn’t know where she had lost her phone and said apologetically: “I’m really sorry, my phone is gone, and the pictures are all in it.”

“It doesn’t matter, you don’t need to apologize.” Lu Yanli took out a picture album from his arms.

This was the picture album he and two other investigators had swapped from the desktop when they infiltrated Chu Xian’s house: “Have you seen this one?”

He could naturally recognize his own paintings, Lu Yanli was absolutely certain that the picture album came from his own handwriting, but he never imagined that someone would send it to Chu Xian. He reached out and took the picture album back from Chu Xian: “Because, I also have an identical one.”

So, which timeline’s self gave Chu Xian this picture album?

Also, his psychological suggestion to her was too smooth, also because the other party had planted a seed, right?

Lu Yanli knew that it was his future self, but that didn’t mean he would believe his future self. He had put himself in his shoes and assumed that he would be willing to pay the price for his past self in exchange for the success of his past self?

The answer was no.

Lu Yanli decided to give it a try.

Those dark eyes seemed deeper, and the voice was gentler, like a soft steel wire, prying open the sealed memories little by little.

“Tell me… tell me everything…”

That huge eye was still in the night sky, Lu Yanli didn’t care about the gaze from above. He put all his energy into this matter, staring at Chu Xian’s heart without blinking.

“He told me a lot of stories… a lot… and paintings.”

“He painted a lot, there are…”

As Chu Xian narrated, Lu Yanli’s heart sank little by little.

And because the novel became reality, his future self could tell Chu Xian.

The cause and effect between this and the relationship between the Erdai Kingdom and the strange object is generally difficult to say who is the cause and who is the effect.

Now there is only one question.

What kind of seed did his future self plant in Chu Xian’s heart?

Want to try to solve it?

In just an instant, Lu Yanli had made a decision.

Chu Xian’s senses were very subtle. She knew that her situation was not normal, but she couldn’t resist, and her subconscious didn’t want to resist. When facing this person, she subconsciously opened her heart and told him little by little.

Sweat had already oozed from Lu Yanli’s forehead.

So, he told her the stories that happened in the future, sent her paintings, but didn’t plant a seed of psychological suggestion in her?

Lu Yanli didn’t believe it.

“Don’t hide anything, tell me everything… tell me…”

No, still not.

Then why could he invade Chu Xian’s heart defense so smoothly? Even at this point, Chu Xian still didn’t have the intention to resist?

Unless…

Lu Yanli suddenly had a terrible guess.

Unless, he had planted a seed in her in childhood and made her forget.

This guess made his breathing stagnate for a moment, and the hand holding the other person’s shoulder trembled slightly uncontrollably. He had a hunch that the things he learned next might bring earth-shattering changes to his future path.

Should he learn about it?

This question almost didn’t need to be hesitated, Lu Yanli had already made up his mind.

*

The real spirit medium town.

Now, less than one-tenth of the town’s population remained.

There was almost no way to survive.

If all the people in the town died, the culture festival would not be held, which meant – the mission failed.

In the copied future spirit medium town, Lu Yanli was sitting in the house, with a picture album and a piece of white paper in front of him.
