"It's just a broken version of me—that's what you mean."

"No, to be more precise, it's the incomplete you in your cognition—to me, you are actually the equivalent of a guardian... Doesn't Murphy's Law say that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen, no matter how small the probability is? So, in the final analysis, Sister Chu Moyin is in that same situation."

Chu Shangli paused and sneered: "No, perhaps the actual situation is a little different - you think you are afraid on the surface, but what you think you are afraid of is what you are really pursuing..."

“…”

As far as the eye could see, Chu Yutu's expression was a little stiff.

That actually means that Chu Moyin's delusion is correct in a sense -

"That's right. This is probably why I didn't chase you after you left." Chu Yutu sighed. "I know how much impact this kind of cowardice will have, but in the end I still didn't have the courage to stop you. So, the future I thought I could change is doomed like this."

When Chu Shangli saw the bloodstains on the ground and the huge piece of glass, he actually had a vague premonition.

However, she did not dare to confirm it easily——

Confirmation would mean she would have to acknowledge certain fears.

Also, the next actions will be fixed with her admission.

"That is to say - if you or I jump off the building and commit suicide now -"

"You won't die, but you will stand in my place. However, because your choice is not exactly the same as mine, there are actually some changes - in this sense, my previous accumulation has actually played a role."

"The bloodstains on the ground are actually..."

"Hmm, yes, if it were just one person's blood, it would be easy to clean up—the reason it's still on the ground is because it's accumulated so many times. Although most people think it was just a single occurrence, that's not the case."

“…”

Once Chu Yutu jumps out of the window, he will see the moment when he lost his memory.

Chu Shangli opened the terminal and looked at the time displayed on it——

Just as I expected, it was ten years ago.

However, it is not that I have returned to ten years ago, but that in the place occupied by Chu Yutu, there will be no change in time.

This was a lockdown back then – before we had a system.

All of this is to allow myself to wait here for the next beginning.

"Everything I've forgotten, besides the elopement and the development, there's also the pregnancy and stuff—have I abandoned everything?"

"Actually, I really want to humiliate you—humiliate you, or even curse you—but I don't have that right, because in the later stages, I basically gave up everything and fell into a state of madness. Originally, Chu Yutu's death was not necessary, and the situation could have been avoided. However, from a certain moment on, it became 'something that was bound to happen.' Just like Wei Shengfan's death, although I developed the system, I only understand its structure. I haven't yet analyzed the entire world—and therefore, I don't know the laws of the world..."

"You still don't know now?"

"It's meaningless even if I know." Chu Yutu pressed her finger between her eyebrows: "Because my wait is over - whether you or I jump down from here, I can't come back here to share my thoughts with you..."
