"But... now that I've come this far, you should be able to guess what I'm going to say next, right?"
"Since you confirmed my guess before, is it true that the Cheshire Cat's mother returned to the original file while pregnant with the child from before the save?"
"correct."
"No—" Chu Shangli whispered, "This is too outrageous—since the archive has been read, even the state of death and murder can be erased, then won't the child in her pregnancy also become non-existent?"
"You seem to have killed your fiancé once before?"
"..." Chu Shangli was silent - she complained in her heart, you were clearly asleep at that time, but you still felt this thing.
"So, when you loaded the save file, did you feel the sticky touch of blood on your hands?"
"Yes, yes." Chu Shangli nodded.
"That's right. Even if reloading the save file can change the state of reality, it can't change the mental impact. For example, you've been reborn, your father, brother, and fiancé are still alive, and yet you haven't said anything about your sister's accusations. You have to know that nothing has happened yet. In other words, in this world, there's actually no reason for you to seek revenge, but you still want it..."
The system paused and said, "So, if you make a bad move here and let her turn against you, it seems you won't have any reason to complain, right?"
“…” Chu Shangli remembered that Chu Moyin and the Cheshire Cat had said similar things before.
In fact, I also feel the rationality of the words.
"But if you can't take revenge, your rebirth will feel meaningless. So, if you must find a target for revenge, you must find the same person as before. Otherwise, you won't be able to vent your inner anger." The system said quietly, "Then, even if everything that happened is erased from existence, it will still exist in your heart. The pain of death, the distortion of the murderous mentality, even if this fact no longer exists, the impact is deeply rooted..."
"But this has nothing to do with pregnancy and childbirth."
"Well, while the system mostly retraces mental states, in special circumstances, to maintain stability, it will transmit some past events exactly as they occurred. Otherwise, continued instability could have a serious impact on the entire world."
The interface in front of Chu Shangli flickered twice, emitting a light green color——
"Here are some tips: 1. If you experience a condition like [Pregnancy] or [Psychological Illness], you will be carried back to the flashback world exactly as you did. 2. The pain of committing suicide will last for three days, but if you were killed by someone else, it won't last that long. 3. If you cause someone's death by fatally wounding them after meeting certain conditions and then reload the save, the death will not be erased, but the cause will be changed from being killed by you to something else. This is very important, so please remember it."
"but--"
"I know, you want to say that you killed your fiancé, but when you go back in time, he didn't die, right?"
Chu Shangli nodded.
"Then the 'certain conditions' I mentioned haven't been met."
"So what are those conditions?"
"Honestly, I don't know either—"
“…”
"Don't be speechless, Master. I really don't know—the two previous ones and the conditions for mounting the system were influenced by me, but I don't actually know what the conditions for retracing time to preserve death are..."
