"That's what the researchers added. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, that's right—this is a function that's been there from the beginning. I once accidentally killed someone, and even after that, no matter how paranoid I was, I always lived in inexplicable self-blame. So, if you value your own wings, you can use this method on people you hate, and let them die accidentally when reloading the file—but before you figure out the reason, it's best not to act rashly. Because once a death is locked by my system, no matter how many times you reload the file, it will not change—"
Chu Shangli always felt that he had heard a very heavy reality.
However, what is even more terrifying is what would happen if the owner of this system is not me, but someone else——
Then isn't there a possibility that I might die suddenly in an accident?
"That's right—but it doesn't matter. If you encounter that situation, Master, I can help you reload the save file no matter how many times, because it's an unexpected situation."
"Why would researchers add this functionality?"
"I don't know—didn't I tell you before that I'm not a genius myself? So, do I need to connect my cranial nerves to understand what a genius actually thinks? But those people can't let my cranial nerves connect to theirs, so—I don't know the specific reason for adding that thing. But if I had to guess, it's probably because of the stability of the [world] and their control. However, it can be said that they added this extra ability, and they eventually died because of this peculiarity. I wonder if this can be considered as getting what they wanted, or should we call it shooting themselves in the foot?"
“It’s you…?”
"Of course it wasn't me. I don't have a weapon and I don't know how to use it—and they certainly wouldn't give me something so dangerous—so you can pretty much guess it, right? It was my predecessor who dared to kill herself repeatedly. Afterwards, she read the gears several times to ensure the stability of this state."

What kind of person is the Cheshire Cat's mother?
The Cheshire Cat claims that although his mother is dead, she might still be alive somewhere.
If this is the kind of person, maybe he actually has a way to keep himself alive...
"Well, speaking of the Cheshire Cat's child—that child is actually the child of the Cheshire Cat's father, whom I met in the original world. And then, back to square one, although the two are still lovers, the Cheshire Cat's father has gone from being a father to a dad on the Siberian steppes—"
Chu Shangli originally wanted to say that it was her own child and there was no difference - but after thinking about it carefully, she found that things were indeed not that simple.
The two people's experiences are different, so whether they can still be viewed as a single person is something that needs to be considered separately. For the Cheshire Cat's father, even if this child is his future self, he is actually with a woman who already has a child.
"That's not the point, actually—the Cheshire Cat's father obviously doesn't care about this. But what's more interesting is that this situation is locked in—because the Cheshire Cat's mother can only have one child. In other words, she can only have this child with the future Cheshire Cat's father, but she can't have another child of her own with the current Cheshire Cat's father—"
“…”
Chu Shangli asked in confusion: "Is this also part of her experiment on herself?!"
"Rather than using itself for experiments..." The system is now a cyber elf whose face cannot be seen, but Chu Shangli seemed to see it smiling slightly.
