"I just want to know—" Chu Shangli paused: "I just want to know, is it someone I know?"
"Who knows? Since time can be modified and history can be overwritten, then doesn't knowing each other become meaningless? If it were a single line, hatred would be indelible and love would not disappear. But when time is no longer a single line, and the world is no longer a single line, then doesn't all the love and hate in this world become meaningless?"
The Cheshire Cat made this declaration.
Chu Shangli was silent for a moment——
"Come to think of it, a certain type of story seems quite popular—one about going back in time and taking revenge on a former enemy. I understand that sentiment, but will it really go so smoothly? If it were the Man of the Sea in Marseille, his revenge would be applauded—because he'd been hurt, he was the victim, so people would naturally cheer him on. But if, instead of climbing out of the hell at the Chateau d'If, he returned to the beginning of time, would his revenge really have any meaning? Wouldn't it trigger another chain reaction? Then he'd truly go from victim to pure perpetrator."
“…”
"If Miss Chu Moyin wasn't your real enemy—no, I don't know how she feels, maybe she is—if I were to assert this, I might want to change your mindset, but I'm not that arrogant. How could I say that—"
The voice on the other side of the Cheshire Cat paused for a moment, as if thinking.
For a full minute, Chu Shangli said nothing and thought nothing—
Keep silent, hold your breath, and wait quietly——
"Ah, I know what to say now—"
I can't see the Cheshire Cat's face, but I can hear her laughter——
Of course, I couldn't see her mouth, but I seemed to see the corners of her mouth turned up - could it be that the name "Cheshire Cat" affected her thinking?
"Have you ever considered that if Miss Chu Moyin wanted to target you this time, it would be even easier than in your previous life? In your previous life, even if the empire had laws, you would most likely win the case if you killed Miss Chu Moyin—I mean, if you survived in that world."
Chu Shangli's mind quickly emerged with the legal provisions of the empire, and he nodded.
"Probably."
"So—if you hadn't met me, if you hadn't woken up in time, and instead let the fog continue to expand in your heart, you might have chosen the wrong path. Miss Chu Moyin occupies the moral high ground. Of course, she did a lot of things that wronged you in her last life—but what about this life? If you explain to others that you only wanted revenge after your rebirth, will you be regarded as a lunatic?"
"This has nothing to do with what I asked you originally—"
"No, it matters a lot. Because you've been reborn, even if everyone else has forgotten those nightmares, they're still haunting you. Your eyes are always filled with a strange glimmer of hatred, even if you don't realize it—"
“…”
"So, regarding your question just now, whether we knew each other or not—I really can't answer that. As long as we've met once, we've been acquainted, right? But for someone who doesn't remember, that acquaintance has no meaning."
