"The source of all this should have started with a writer." Sawada Tsunayoshi pointed out the name of the author of the book to Hinata Sou, "It's her."

Hinata Hajime looked down and saw that the name of the book was "The Unchanged Future" and the author was: Nuo.

"This is a pen name. Her real name is no longer known, and everyone prefers to call her by her pen name." Tsunayoshi Sawada brought Hinata Hajime inside. This seemed to be the headquarters of the Vongola. When people saw Tsunayoshi Sawada, they would stop and salute politely, and they were also a little curious about Hinata Hajime.

Sawada Tsunayoshi responded mildly, but did not stop the conversation with Hinata Hajime.

"Hibari and Rokudo Mukuro worked together to investigate this woman. Although they did not find out how she caused such a large number of terrible incidents, they did find out some unknown things."

Walking into the office, Hinata Hajime saw a large screen hanging in front of them. The image on the transparent screen was a little shaky, and there were some strange currents that indicated the difficulty of this surveillance camera. But because of this, what appeared in front of Hinata Hajime was a picture that made him feel almost familiar.

Each of those people who were in despair was holding a book. The picture was too blurry for Hinata Hajime to see their expressions clearly, but he could feel the overwhelming depressing atmosphere.

Not far away, people were crying. They were sitting in the ruins with the same book beside them.

More people seemed to be venting their anger. Fights were happening everywhere. There were no cars on the road and no shops were open. It was like the end of the world.

It's like the world after the biggest, worst, most desperate event ever happened.

War and the struggle between people seem to be an endless game.

"So what happened to this author?" Hinata Hajime forced himself to look away.

"For a creator, the most important thing should be her writing." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, "She is an author with a strong sense of self-esteem. She has written several novels and contributed to a publishing house. She spent two years writing a novel called "The Unchanged Future" and believed that this novel would be a big hit."

Hinata nodded, "And then?"

"Then, she did not receive any publication notice from the publishing house, nor did she receive any compensation. She felt something was wrong, and just when she was about to go out and inquire, she found that her novel had been published, but the author's name was not hers, but another star writer of the publishing house."

"The publisher gave her work to someone else?"

"Yes, that's right." Sawada Tsunayoshi asked Hinata Hajime to sit down and brought him a cup of tea. "This is a matter of the literary world, and novels are not popular among the mafia. This also led to the first place where the changes occurred being far away from us. By the time we discovered it, it had already exploded."

"This is not your fault." Hinata Sou sighed, "What else did you find out?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head. "It's been too long since this happened. All we found out is the news that still exists. We only know that she didn't produce any evidence to prove that this was her novel. She was labeled as a shameless person who only cared about fame, and she never wrote a book again."

"How do you know for sure it's her work?"

"Although she didn't have evidence, the publisher did." At this point, Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, "Rokudo Mukuro broke into the editorial department that had become a ruin and found No's manuscript inside. The manuscript had her handwriting and signature, but it was too late."

Things have long been a foregone conclusion, and no one can save the present from the past.

No one knew exactly when this started, but by the time people noticed it, the signature on the popular novel "The Unchanged Future" had changed from the star author to Nuo. All the people who bought the novel were affected and became extremely sensitive and emotional.

"Should we say despair?" Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned. "It becomes very easy for those people to fall into despair and cannot get out of it. Some even choose to go to extremes, and there are many cases of murder and suicide."

"Then this uneasy feeling spread very quickly, and even now it is difficult to control it, because the mafia are also human beings."

"As long as we are human, there will be times of despair." Hinata Hajime continued Sawada Tsunayoshi's words, his voice was cautious, "Right?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Hinata Hajime and nodded, his voice still calm, "Yes, despair is a very normal emotion for people. It exists in everyone's heart. It is not something special, which means that everyone will be infected."

"Three days ago I came to ten years later and saw a girl. Is that Nuo?"

"That's right." Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, "That was the first time we found her, but no one, including me, could get close to her. Even if Rokudo Mukuro tried to get close to her with illusion, he would be affected. That person has the strongest hatred for humans."

Therefore, Sawada Tsunayoshi did not let Rokudo Mukuro continue to approach. If Rokudo Mukuro lost control as a result, that would be the worst thing that could happen.

If an illusionist, especially Rokudo Mukuro, gets angry, Sawada Tsunayoshi will get a stomachache on the spot.

"Then the girl disappeared and everyone was looking for her whereabouts."

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had become quite mature since meeting Hinata Hajime, sighed while pressing his temple. He lay on the table with a decadent look, and low pressure rose from his head. Sawada Tsunayoshi's tired voice came from under his arm, "We must find her as soon as possible."

Hinata stood up, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just find it difficult." Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his head, "Vongola is now competing with Millefiore, we must not let them find No in advance."

"Why?"

"Because we are not on the same page." Sawada Tsunayoshi murmured, "We want to protect the world, but Millufiore wants to destroy it. If Byakuran finds No faster than us, he will use the current situation to push the world into further destruction."

"After all, that guy never cares about the death of his men."

…

On the other side, Bai Lan was eating marshmallows while looking at the big screen. On the screen, those people in despair were doing things that were incomprehensible.

"So, have you found that woman, Xiaozheng?" Bai Lan turned her head and looked to the side. Irie Masaichi was standing there, his eyes also fixed on the screen.

"No, she hid herself very well. Neither we nor the Vongola could find her." Irie Masakazu turned to look at Byakuran. "Besides that girl, we should deal with the internal situation first. There is friction between the White Curse and the Black Curse, and it has almost escalated to the point of accidental discharge."

"Everyone is really energetic." Bai Lan Jesuo laughed. "Don't worry, let them fight. It won't be a big problem."

Irie looked at Byakuran Jesso for a moment before he spoke, "Don't you care if they get hurt?"

"Really?" Bai Lan Jesuo said, "I really think it's okay. Xiao Zheng, don't think too much. The current task is to find that woman. Moreover, since this incident was caused by that woman, it doesn't mean that we can stop it from happening just by finding her."

Irie pushed up his glasses and said, "I hope what you said is true."

However, the current situation is still too strange.

Masakazu Irie turned his head and looked at the screen. Just then, a man holding a stick was standing in front of the surveillance camera. He stared at the camera in front of him closely and smashed it hard with the stick in his hand. Masakazu Irie could only see the moment when the stick touched the camera. The next moment, the whole screen was covered with snowflakes.

The camera was broken, but the sound recording equipment was still intact. Irie Masaichi could hear the man's desperate roar just by standing where he was.

When did the world become what it is today?

"Xiao Zheng, do you remember? I told you about a friend of mine when we were in college." Bai Lan suddenly spoke up, "My friend was really weird. We met on the Internet. He was Japanese, but for some reason he lost his arm and had to have a robotic arm installed to replace it."

Irie Masaaki nodded, "I still remember that, although we have never met, you once called him the White Devil."

"Haha, really? So I called him that?" Bai Lan Jesuo laughed. "But in fact, he is not that scary. He is a very gentle person to get along with. It's just that after meeting me, he occasionally says some strange things."

"Um?"

"For example: hope and despair."

Irie Masami looked at him, "What is this? The definition of a thing?"

"Who knows? I don't understand his thoughts." Bai Lan Jesuo held his chin with one hand and ate marshmallows. "He once told me that his arm was taken away by despair, and the mechanical arm he connected now is condensed by hope. He also told me that it would be terrible if despair spread."

"Xiao Zheng, does it look like despair is spreading out there?"

Irie Masakazu frowned slightly, "Can we still contact that friend?"

"Of course I can't contact him anymore." Bai Lan Jesuo said as a matter of course: "He came to Italy to see me, and we spent about a month together before he returned to Japan. Since then, we have lost contact, and I have never found him again."

“How interesting.”

Irie Masaichi sighed, "Rather than thinking about a friend you've lost contact with for a long time, you should be a little more serious. As a leader, how can you just watch your own family fight and do nothing about it!"

"Eh? No, that's too troublesome."

Finally, Shoichi Irie left. He went out in disgust. Although he covered his abdomen and looked like he had a stomachache, Byron Jessop knew that he would still go to mediate the conflict between the White Curse and the Black Curse out of concern, at least to prevent them from fighting to the death.

But that wouldn't be fun.

Bai Lan Jesuo turned on the screen again, and a new picture appeared on the screen, showing the confrontation between White Magic and Black Magic.

Just as they were about to start fighting, Irie Shoichi appeared.

"Xiao Zheng, you are always so kind. This should be a good thing for you, but you are sympathizing with unnecessary lives."

As he spoke, Bai Lan Jesuo ate another marshmallow.

So far, Bran Jess has destroyed all parallel worlds. Yes, he is the owner of the Marel Ring and has the ability to communicate with parallel worlds. After realizing this, he began to travel to other parallel worlds, and finally destroyed all the worlds because of boredom.

He assembled a powerful army, each of whom was selected from different parallel worlds.

Until I came to this world, everything changed.

He discovered a person in his own body in this world whom he did not know in the parallel world, a strange man named Nagito Komaeda whom he met on the Internet. But that was not all. The moment he came to this world, he suffered a great loss. An unknown virus infected all the vanguard troops he sent out, and by the time he found them, most of them were already dead.

And the way they died was by killing each other.

Then the troops that were sent in advance all ran into problems, and many were completely wiped out.

The armies formed from various parallel worlds are more fragile than ordinary people because they are people who have emerged from despair in the beginning, so they are more likely to be dragged back into despair.

There's a strange force at work here, and of course a set of magical animal boxes.

"How interesting." Bai Lan Jesuo smiled, "Is there anything more wonderful?"

“I’m so looking forward to it.”
