Distinguishing between True and False Sentences

Rui Hang poured a glass of water for Yu Zhi, motioned her to sit down, and he treated her wound.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

In front of Rui Hang, no matter how noble a goddess is, she will always show her gentle side.

Yu Zhi obediently stretched out her arm and let Rui Hang clean the wound, disinfect and bandage it. While she was thinking about how to explain the whole story to Rui Hang, Lin Yuan spoke first, "Teacher Rui, what's the situation with my brother?"

"The principal is handling it." Rui Hang said, "Lin Lang and Rong Yu have already gone to gather intelligence for us."

When it comes to Lin Shen, the principal didn't dare to relax at all. The fat old man ran around all afternoon and looked tired and thinner.

"There is not much news yet. We only know that the man is a paparazzi, but he sneaked into the school yesterday. He spoke in a crazy and illogical way, as if he was mentally ill."

As the two best assassins of Parnaki, Lin Yuan was very confident in their abilities, so he put aside his worries for the time being and left the space for Rui Hang and Yu Zhi to handle the problem.

While Lin Yuan was interrupting, Yu Zhi finished organizing what she wanted to say.

She took a sip of tea to moisten her lips and said, "A few days ago, some images kept flashing through my mind, especially today. I followed these images to the rooftop, only to see Bao Xiaoyuan being bullied and on the verge of death. At this moment, I suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu - the person standing on the rooftop should have been me. Bao Xiaoyuan replaced my fate, and I think the images in my mind should have been my original 'future'."

"Is it related to fate?" Bai Luo touched his chin. On this topic, he was the expert of Class 9: "Your guess is not unreasonable. Well, how should I put it..."

Bai Luo thought for a moment, picked up a pen and drew a few intersecting lines on the draft paper, while explaining to everyone: "Isn't there a term on Earth called 'parallel space'? When we make a choice, the world will derive a new world line, leading to the result of another choice. If we look forward from the time point after we made ten decisions, the world is not a branch, but a complete straight line. Although the future is diverse and complex. But as long as we look at it from a more macro perspective, the future is actually predetermined."

“But on this straight line, if someone suddenly does something that affects the course of history and breaks the original world line, then it will be like the ‘Grandmother Paradox’, and this world line will no longer exist, which is the so-called ‘world destruction’. In order to ensure that the ending of total destruction is avoided, the world itself has the ability to correct itself. This is why many stories involving reincarnation, after a long period of effort, everything returns to the starting point.”

"Just like you said, because your fate has been deviated, the original life process has disappeared. In order to fill the gap, the world may indeed allow another person to integrate and fill this gap. But all this has a crucial premise - normally, the fate of an individual does not mean much to the entire world, just like a speck of dust in a torrent. Only when countless "individual destinies" merge together can they form a huge force that shakes fate. There is only one possibility for an individual to want the world to correct history for him - this person is closely related to the turning point of the world's fate."

"At the same time, you may have underestimated the world's ability to correct history. The Earth was born in billions of years, not to mention the universe. As long as the scale is large enough, even what we think of as 'breaking fate' is just a part of destiny."

Bai Luo paused here, pointed at Yu Zhi, Lin Yuan, and Rui Hang in turn, then pointed at himself: "As a time traveler who can affect two worlds at the same time, our fate is indeed crucial, but it has nothing to do with our past selves. What's important is that we have completed the journey and have the power to change the world, not our past selves. There is no need for the world to deliberately involve another person for our past selves and let her fill the gap in your fate."

"So my guess is - it's not that Bao Xiaoyuan replaced your fate, but that you 'occupied' Bao Xiaoyuan's original fate. Maybe it's not just you, but us, the twenty-four students in Class Nine, and Teacher Rui as well. We have all 'occupied' someone's fate."

Faced with Bai Luo's unexpected answer, Rui Hang and the other two were not shocked.

As early as the beginning of their journey through time, they had spent a long time investigating and thinking about: what exactly caused them to travel through time; and if there really was an existence that allowed them to travel through time, what was the purpose of this existence.

Unfortunately, even after five hundred years, they were getting closer and closer to the positions of the legendary twenty-four gods, but they still could not answer this question.

However, although he couldn't answer, he vaguely sensed something.

——The 25 students in Class 9 have different personalities, different experiences, and even different birthplaces. They don’t seem to have any common characteristics, just like the protagonist class in the movie “Battle Royale” that was chosen only by drawing lots.

But even such an "ordinary" class was able to complete the journey and still retain the memory and personality of Earth after reincarnation. Even for the Parnaki, who have countless powerful races, it is still almost impossible to reincarnate with memories after death.

How on earth could a group of humans who had never come into contact with magic be able to do this?

This question alone was enough to make them think deeply for a long time.

If time travel really has some meaning, then for this word which is very common in novels and comics, the touch and fusion of different cultures and knowledge systems in two worlds is the greatest meaning of time travel.

"Traveling through the Earth and Parnaki, the cracked barrier..."

Rui Hang suddenly recalled a scene he had dreamed of a long time ago. Dark clouds covered the sky, and amid the thunder, "monsters" from another world appeared in the streets and alleys, and buildings collapsed with a wave of their hands. Artillery fire and magic intertwined, and desperate cries resounded through the sky.

It's like the scenes in special effects films, which are less exciting and gorgeous than the piling up of costumes and special effects, and more helpless and sad.

Perhaps their crossing was intended to merge the two worlds from the very beginning.

...

As the school sports meeting was being held, the parents of the three bullied girls were quickly taken to the Dean's office. Accompanying them were the class teacher of the student and Yu Zhi's mother Tao Xiaochun. The parents of Bao Xiaoyuan, the biggest victim, were not present at the scene.

Perhaps because they felt that Bao Xiaoyuan, as a victim of bullying, was not taken seriously by her parents and had lost her voice, the parents of the three bullying students were only hesitant for a short moment, and soon spoke in unison. They wiped their tears and continued to express their apologies to Bao Xiaoyuan and Yu Zhi, repeatedly assuring that they would strictly discipline the students in the future, and said bitterly that their children had become like this because of family reasons.

"The child's father and I were not around her since she was a child because of our business. The child has been brought up by her grandmother, so she has been spoiled and lawless. We really didn't expect her to do such a thing. Please accept our family's apology. I will give you this... No, this amount!"

The parent of the girl who was the leader of the bullying trio was very wealthy. She immediately held up two fingers and reported five zeros: "After all, it's just that the children don't know better. Let's make a big deal out of a small matter and settle it privately. Do you think it's a good idea?"

The other party took advantage of the fact that Bao Xiaoyuan was young and could not make decisions on her own. Seeing that she was surrounded by three parents and was stammering and unable to speak in panic, Tao Xiaochun pulled Bao Xiaoyuan behind him and showed rare toughness.

"I'm sorry, we don't accept apologies." She said coldly, "A crime is a crime. There is no such thing as a child or not. I have no interest in your child's past or the way you educate your child. I only know that my daughter almost lost her life trying to save someone, and this child was bullied to the point of almost jumping off a building. This is clearly a crime! Since it's against the law, please let the police and the court make the decision."

After saying that, Tao Xiaochun looked at the dean who was frantically wiping his sweat, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say you had called the police? Where are the police? Why haven't I seen them yet?"

The Dean of Studies also had a hard time. He had not just said that he would call the police, but he had indeed called the police. However, the traffic outside was too congested, and it would take some time for the police to arrive, so he thought of resolving part of the problem before the police arrived.

However, they did not expect that because there were no police, the parents of the bullied students mistakenly believed that the school just wanted to smooth things over and make a big deal out of a small matter, and did not want to make a big deal out of it, so they became more justified.

Seeing Tao Xiaochun's question, the Dean of Studies hurriedly wanted to explain, but just as he opened his mouth, the other parent's voice rang out with a bit of sarcasm: "Our daughter is just a child! We are all students, why do you have to make such a big fuss? It will be embarrassing for the school if it gets out!"

As he said this, as if he understood everything, he blatantly gave the dean a look that said "look at me".

Dean of Studies: “…”

With the support of their parents, the three bullies suddenly became excited.

"No, Dad/Mom, they are the ones who slandered us!"

"That's right. We even filmed a video of us saving people, but we were afraid they would blame us!"

"If you really don't believe me, go check the surveillance. It was clearly Bao Xiaoyuan who walked to the rooftop by herself! We only followed her upstairs because we were concerned about her mental state!"

"yes!"

The three of them became more and more excited as they talked. One of them took out his mobile phone and played the "rescue video", one of them shouted his innocence, and the other one clamored to watch the surveillance video.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better at this time. The dean was stunned for a moment, then he came over to carefully check the video they had taken.

When Tao Xiaochun suddenly saw the video of Yu Zhi with half of her body hanging in the air outside the building and calling for help, his pupils were filled with hatred as he looked at the three people.

"My daughter is like this, and you still have the mood to take a video?!"

"Auntie, please be more responsible in what you say. We took the photos to avoid being blamed. And didn't you hear that your daughter asked us to 'help'?"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes. Although she was just mumbling, the sound was clear enough for everyone in the office to hear.

"What an ungrateful person! He just got rescued by us, but he turned around and slandered us. Luckily, we took a video. I don't know how to explain it."

"Some people's hearts are filled with evil!"

Tao Xiaochun was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Her rationality, which she had suppressed for a long time, was on the verge of collapse. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to rush over and slap the three people. But before she could move, Yu Zhi grabbed Tao Xiaochun's wrist first, and gently tapped the back of her hand with her fingers in a soothing manner, and turned to look at the dean of teaching: "Can I see the surveillance video?"

Although the dean felt that the three were not in the right, compared with the glaring video, Yu Zhi and the other three, who only had testimony, seemed a bit pretentious.

Hearing Yu Zhi's question, the dean of studies did not hesitate and immediately agreed to her request.

As the mouse pointer continued to drag, several familiar figures soon appeared on the screen. They were Bao Xiaoyuan and the three bullies who followed her.

The school had used sponsorship funds to update a number of surveillance cameras some time ago, so the footage was very clear. As the camera switched positions, Bao Xiaoyuan's face appeared in everyone's sight.

——The girl's thin body was wrapped in a loose school uniform, looking empty. There was no expression on her face, and she was as dull as a wooden man. She walked a little unsteadily, but her steps and purpose were quite firm. Without any pause, she walked straight towards the rooftop.

The bullying trio then appeared on the screen. They seemed to have followed Bao Xiaoyuan for a long time, and were very curious and mocking of her strange mental state. They followed Bao Xiaoyuan to the rooftop while laughing.

After a while, Yu Zhi, who had changed into sportswear, entered the surveillance screen. She lowered her head, crossed her arms, and seemed to be thinking about something. She sometimes stopped and sometimes quickened her pace, but she never changed her direction towards the rooftop.

All this seemed to confirm the bullying trio's statement. Although their expressions were very different from the "concern" they expressed, it still could not be used as evidence to prove that they wanted to hurt Bao Xiaoyuan.

The successive "evidences" made the bullying trio jubilant. Their families put down their hands in negotiations and no longer looked at Yu Zhi and the others with apologetic eyes.

They held their chins high and looked disdainfully in the direction of Yu Zhi and the others, with an expression as if they had suffered a great injustice, but a scornful smile in their eyes.

Obviously, they believed that the outcome was already determined and Yu Zhi and others were powerless to change it.

Yu Zhi ignored these people. From the moment she seduced the bullying trio to record the video, her goal was to see the surveillance video.

Yu Zhi wanted to know what mental state Bao Xiaoyuan was in when she went to the rooftop. Did she, like herself, unconsciously choose the rooftop as her destination, or was she coerced by others and unknowingly walked the same path as her past?

Or as Bai Luo said, she embarked on the path that was once occupied by Yu Zhi and was Bao Xiaoyuan's true "destiny".

The video clearly answered most of her questions.

Rather than saying that Bao Xiaoyuan was "confused", it would be more appropriate to say that she was "sleepwalking".

She had no independent consciousness at all, and her subconscious mind controlled her body, leading her to an "ending" that Bao Xiaoyuan could not escape.

What exactly happened to Bao Xiaoyuan?

Yu Zhi thought secretly in her heart. The mocking voice coming from her ears made Yu Zhi's thinking a little confused. She took out her mobile phone with disgust and threw it in front of the dean.

"It's just a video. I have one too."

The noisy sounds in the office suddenly stopped.

Yu Zhi sneered and said impatiently, "Don't you think that the time when your precious daughter and I went to the rooftop was very close? Do you really think that I would just stand outside the door and watch stupidly without doing anything?"

In the video, the three girls looked at Bao Xiaoyuan standing on the edge of the rooftop, laughing and making noises, occasionally making gestures of pushing someone. Not long after, one of them said something in Bao Xiaoyuan's direction, and Bao Xiaoyuan walked a few steps towards the edge of the rooftop in a daze, as if she was instigated by them.

At the end of the video, Bao Xiaoyuan showed a look as if she had just woken up from a dream, and the three girls looked flustered, as if they were discussing how to deal with Bao Xiaoyuan.

Then, the picture suddenly reversed, and it looked like the phone fell to the ground. It was not until someone picked it up dozens of seconds later and pressed the "end button".

Compared to the bullying trio's more "staged" video, Yu Zhi's video was obviously much more credible. Coupled with the way the three of them just yelled at their parents, their lies seemed quite ridiculous at this moment.

"As my mother said, we do not accept any mediation. We respect the law and everything is based on the law."

After that, Yu Zhi handed the phone to Rui Hang, who had been silent since entering the room, and just stood behind to support Yu Zhi and the others: "Teacher Rui, as victims, we don't want to be in the same room with the perpetrators. Can I trouble you with the rest?"

Rui Hang took Yu Zhi's phone with a smile and nodded, "Of course."

Yu Zhi thanked them, pulled Bao Xiaoyuan, who was still a little dazed, and her mother, who was both angry and relieved, over, and took them out of the office directly, leaving the mess behind the closed office door.

The three of them walked through the long corridor and found a quiet place. Yu Zhi finally let go of her hand and said gently, "Classmate, are you okay?"

Bao Xiaoyuan didn't expect that she would be rescued by the same person twice in a row when she was most helpless. She looked at Yu Zhi with eyes full of trust and admiration. She took a deep breath and shook her head: "I'm fine."

"Don't be angry at those scumbags." Tao Xiaochun said, "We grew up in a new society. There's nothing to be afraid of! The police and the school will take care of it for us!"

Bao Xiaoyuan had only experienced the comfort and care from her elders a few times in her life. Her eyes were red again, and she lowered her head so that Yu Zhi and Tao Xiaochun would not see her sad expression.

"Thank you..."

"Why should I be so polite? My daughter is also a victim. We are on the same front. Besides, I am the parent, so of course I have to take care of you."

When it comes to parents, Tao Xiaochun's eyes darkened. Thinking about how no one was willing to come when Bao Xiaoyuan got into such a big trouble, he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Yu Zhi patted Bao Xiaoyuan on the shoulder to calm her down. When she calmed down, she casually brought the topic to the point: "Although it's a bit inappropriate to say this now, you look a little strange in the surveillance..."

"...I don't know what happened either." The person asking was the one Bao Xiaoyuan trusted the most at the moment, and she had no intention of hiding anything: "I don't remember anything before I went to the rooftop. I seemed to...slept for a while, and when I opened my eyes, I was standing at the edge of the rooftop."

"Do you still remember what happened before you went to bed?" Yu Zhi coaxed.

Bao Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, suppressing her fear of the rooftop. She frowned and tried to recall for a long time before she said uncertainly: "I seem to have met an uncle. He was wearing a black vest with a camera hanging on his chest. He suddenly asked me for directions, and I thought he was a student's parent, so I answered him, and then..."

Bao Xiaoyuan's eyes became empty again as she recalled the past, and she seemed to have returned to the state she was in before she stepped onto the rooftop.

Yu Zhi's eyes flashed, and she pressed the acupoint on Bao Xiaoyuan's shoulder with a soothing gesture, and emphasized her tone: "You are just tired, don't think too much, I will take you to the infirmary, and have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

The gentle voice and the trust engraved in their bones made Bao Xiaoyuan murmur. She nodded, and let Yuzhi support her as she staggered towards the infirmary.
