Chapter 239 Who was I at 18?

She was so good at asking questions and so good at grasping the crux of the matter that Ye Si couldn't help but look at her with a smile.

"...What are you laughing at?"

Fang Ke said irritably, but he was still a little nervous inside.

She knew she had asked a tricky question and was a little nervous about the answer she was about to hear.

For some reason, she became a little uneasy after asking the question.

Actually, she personally thinks the best answer is that Yes told her that it was too difficult for him to do the mission alone, so God said He would send him a helper, so He teleported her over. Then Yes probably waited for too long, and when he saw that she had finally been replaced, he was so excited that his favorability towards her skyrocketed!

Only after considering the complete closed-loop logic can one proceed: ...

Little B: ……

Little B often doubts himself because he can read some of her thoughts.

"Host, you... are quite thoughtful."

Fang Ke realized her guess was incredibly stupid, and feeling a little embarrassed, she rubbed her forehead and said, "Just pretend you didn't hear me, okay?"

Yes was clearly also considering this issue. He thought for a long time before slowly and deeply speaking.

"Why do you say you're not yourself, Fang Ke? Have you ever thought that you've always been yourself?"

Fang Ke's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Ye Si's smile remained steady, his gaze unwavering. He had a face that couldn't lie, which made Fang Ke even more flustered, and she couldn't help but look away.

"...What kind of tongue twister are you talking about? You know, I said it two months ago..."

"Fang Ke, think about it carefully. Since you came back, all the people you've met, their reactions, their changes, and every word they've said—aren't they all reminding you of something?"

"..."

The man's voice seemed to possess a certain bewitching power, making one feel cold sweat seeping through their vest.

Without Ye Si gently guiding her to recall, the sense of unease that had existed for a very long time finally couldn't be suppressed any longer and began to surface.

I'm looking for my sister...

Can you play the piano?

[Fang Ke, can you swim?]

Who is Ryuichi Sakamoto...?

Sister, thank goodness you were there to pull brother out of the sea, otherwise he would have been shark food long ago...

That year you went back to China, and shortly after returning to school you got into a car accident... You seemed to have changed a lot in personality... Ever since then you've completely lost interest in me...

...

Fang Ke's mind was filled with countless fragments, and she seemed to hear many voices at the same time. Tormented, she looked up uncomfortably, her face full of disbelief, unable to utter the answer that was so obvious.

Fang Ke was speechless. "...But I also have my own life. I have my family and friends. Before I came here, I lived a very comfortable, happy and fulfilling life. If it weren't for an accident, I wouldn't be here...If your assumption is true, then who is 'that me'?"

Upon hearing her words, Yes finally couldn't help but feel a touch of melancholy.

He knew that for at least five years, he had not been a part of her life.

He had long known that Fang Ke didn't need anyone's company; she could live comfortably on her own, even in a completely new world, even after losing all her memories, she could start from scratch a thousand times, ten thousand times.

In some respects, he was far inferior to Fang Ke, a fact he had known for a long time.

He was also very fortunate that if he hadn't formed a bond with Fang Ke so early on, he would have just been a passerby in Fang Ke's life.

A person like Fang Ke, unless she herself is interested in you, no matter how much emotion you pour into her, you will ultimately not get any reciprocation.

Yes couldn't help but lower his eyes and said only, "I'm sorry, the answer to this question may only be known to you."

Fang Ke: "..."

After his emotions churned, Fang Ke gradually calmed down.

She pursed her lips and said, "Assuming what you said is true, then that means I probably left this world in a car accident when I was studying at university abroad. Until recently, I don't know why, I came back, but I lost all my original memories, right?"

Yes looked at her and nodded.

Fang Ke then fell silent again. If that was the case, then who was the original Fang Ke, the one who lived and suffered for five years in her place?

After she came back, where did Fang Ke go?

Is this really the case? Why is it becoming increasingly unbelievable?

Moreover, wasn't she questioning Yes's identity? Why did it end up with her proving her own identity?

Seeing that Fang Ke was getting impatient again, Little B suddenly said, "Host, if what Yes said is true, then there is indeed a way to accomplish all the things you are wondering about."

“.

Before Fang Ke could speak, Little B gave the answer directly: "Do you remember the concepts of 'time displacement' and 'time replication' that I mentioned to you before?"

Fang Ke was stunned. She remembered that day in the mall when she first felt that Ye Si was not right. It was also the first time she experienced spatial displacement and time reversal. So she discussed with Xiao B the rules and skills that broke away from the logic of the three-dimensional physical world.

Little B emphasized two terms to her at the time: "time displacement" and "time replication".

[Time substitution, simply put, is the substitution of two things at different points in time or in different times and spaces.]

[Time replication is even simpler; it allows you to directly replicate scenes or behaviors within a specific timeframe.]

Fang Ke felt a chill run down his spine. "You mean..."

"Let's say you, at 18, possess both of these rule-based skills. First, you choose a suitable time and space, and a suitable subject, and swap your soul with the other person's soul. This gives you two experimental subjects: you in the other person's time and space, and the other person in that time and space."

"..."

"Next, to prevent your souls from rejecting each other, and to help you better integrate into your respective worlds after exchanging identities, use the 'Time Copy' skill to copy each other's memories of growth and overwrite them onto each other. Of course, to increase the success rate, it would be better to perform these two operations simultaneously..."

"So, theoretically, if it succeeds, you will get two completely new people."

As Xiao B finished speaking, Fang Ke truly got goosebumps.

She opened her mouth several times and then closed it again, thinking back to when she first transmigrated, she complained a lot about how the original owner's upbringing and life trajectory were very similar to hers.

They all went abroad to study at a young age, all came from wealthy business families, all were once famous socialites and beauties, all returned to China with great fanfare, all had many inexplicable suitors, and all eventually went bankrupt...

Too many coincidences made her feel so much sympathy for this character at the time.

But if that's really the case...

Fang Ke suddenly laughed, a strange laugh, as if he had found the biggest flaw in this hypothesis.

"Your speculation is brilliant. Now, I'd like to ask, if I possess two such heaven-defying rule-based skills at the age of 18, capable of manipulating the exchange of souls across different timelines... then who am I at 18, and how could I possess such immense power?"

"If I'm so incredibly powerful and awesome, why would I want to abandon everything and go to another world to be an ordinary person?"

There are indeed many doubts and inconsistencies.

Just when it seemed that some doubts had been resolved, even more mysteries were looming over us.

Little B also burned out the CPU. "...I don't know either. Maybe you knew before you 'lost your memory.' Host, why don't you ask Yes again and see if he can help you recover your memory?"

Fang Ke chuckled speechlessly: "So you've decided that I'm that 18-year-old girl with crazy, godlike skills who suffers from amnesia?"

Little B chuckled, "How cool is that! Host, don't underestimate yourself. Trust our intuition. We've already deduced this far, and I believe that eliminating all impossibilities, this is the most correct answer."

"My god, if I had two rule-based skills when I was 18, I'd probably slap every dog ​​that passed by. I'd walk sideways all the time, and what's wrong with casually testing out two souls? I'd be happy!"

Fang Ke said, "...Brother B, when you're being arrogant, don't drag me into it."

Fang Ke's internal struggle with Xiao B was all happening in her mind; outwardly, she fell silent and looked very conflicted.

Ye Si's warm, dry hand touched her face, and Fang Ke came to her senses. When she looked up, she saw that Ye Si had gotten up and come to her side at some point.

The man's eyes held a hint of concern and heartache. "Are you alright?"

Fang Ke suddenly reflexively grabbed his hand and called out, "Yes."

"Yeah, I'm here."

Fang Ke pursed her lips and asked him, "...What was 'me' like before I turned 18?"
