Lin Yunfei never expected that she would lose so completely.
She looked at Chien Chih-chen on the stage, who was facing the audience and the camera, smiling so brightly.
She then looked down at "Lin Yi" in the audience.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at Jian Zhizhen with tender and loving eyes.
The brother and sister walked hand in hand toward higher places, and would continue to live such bright days in the future.
And what about myself?
Her father said that in a few days he would find a way to smuggle her out of the country to a place without extradition treaties, change her name, and hide away so she wouldn't have to go back to jail.
But is that kind of life really better than being in prison?
Lin Yunfei gripped her arm tightly to keep herself from collapsing on the spot.
She got up and left the dark corner without attracting anyone's attention, as if she had never been there.
She went to the parking lot, got into her car, and drove aimlessly through the dark, starless night.
As she crossed a high bridge, she suddenly experienced intense nerve pain in her fingers.
[Return to Nothingness: Due to prolonged detachment, the device is unable to provide assistance to its owner and has no further purpose; it will soon self-destruct.]
Lin Yunfei belatedly realized what was happening, took her hands off the steering wheel, and tried to pull off the ring.
However, when it was removed, it emitted a strong electric current, and Lin Yunfei was numb from her fingers to her whole body, unable to exert any strength and unable to step on the brake!
Autonomous driving is not allowed on this section of the road, and her car, unable to be controlled, crashed straight into the edge of the bridge!
Thump—
A loud bang.
The car crashed straight into the guardrail, plunged into the lake, and slowly sank.
Water slowly seeped into the car.
Lin Yunfei tried to knock on the window to save herself, but she was completely powerless at the moment.
The icy lake water washed over her body, and as the air in her nasal cavity gradually decreased, her consciousness quickly drifted into a detached state.
Scenes from her life flashed through her mind one by one.
But surprisingly, she didn't experience much happiness or joy; most of her life was filled with regret.
She regretted her greed and wanted the person she loved to love her more, so she made that "small change".
She regretted that she had to do countless bad things to cover up one mistake.
She regretted that she had focused on the wrong thing from the beginning.
She regretted not seeking out Chien Chih-chen in the final episode to ask her to help remove the electric shock device from the ring.
In a daze, she saw the time displayed on the electronic screen in front of the car.
November 21, 2223.
Oh, right.
In my previous life, I think I was also in a car accident on this day.
It turns out that even after being reborn, nothing can be changed.
...
In a secret sanatorium on the outskirts of Beijing.
Lin Yunfei, who was pulled from the water, is now lying in a sterile ward, her body covered with tubes and electrodes.
Outside the sealed glass window, Lin Zong's expression was cold and his face was deep, shrouded in a murderous aura.
Standing next to him was a woman whose appearance was extremely similar to Lin Yunfei's, with skin as smooth as a young girl's.
His eyes were just more cloudy, like those of an old man in his twilight years, who knows how many years he has lived.
The combination of those aged eyes and the girl's face conveyed an indescribable eeriness and terror.
"Now there are only two steps left to take," the woman said.
There was no trace of sadness on her face, and her words were calm and indifferent.
"The first step is to capture Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai and force them to hand over the near-perfect big data technology they brought back. The second step is to lock them up and force them to build a time machine as soon as possible. Then we can restart the machine just like we did fifteen years ago and go back to the past with our memories. That way, our daughter will still have a chance to live."
"Save your daughter's life?" Lin Zong seemed to find it laughable. "Or for your own benefit?"
The woman gently tugged at the corner of her lips: "There's no difference."
Lin Zong could no longer control himself and shouted hoarsely, "Before the last time we went back in time, you deliberately arranged for that investor to target your daughter, making her a tool for you to collect scandals about high-ranking figures in the entertainment industry. She thought she was a pimp until her death, completely unaware that these were all bargaining chips for your pursuit of fame and fortune!"
...
There is no such thing as rebirth.
Last time, after Lin Yunfei died, her family traveled back fifteen years using the time travel machine developed by Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai's team.
At that time, Lin Yunfei's mother was the head of the country of K.
She visited G as a foreign leader and learned about the working principle of the reflux machine.
That machine can import the user's memories into the machine in advance, and then make time flow backward.
After Lin Yunfei's accident, she used the excuse of cooperating with G to secretly use the machine, input the information of her family of three into the machine, and returned to fifteen years ago.
After that, she was no longer content to remain the head of a small country.
She began to use her original memories and the information she had access to to build "Giant Planet," an organization dedicated to investigating scandals involving important figures.
She wanted a higher position and greater power.
Lin Zong felt that this was beyond his capabilities, and that he was dealing with people of the highest power; a slight misstep could cost him his life.
Therefore, he requested that his daughter's memories of her mother be erased through hypnosis, so that she would not be involved.
Aside from Lin Zong continuing to work for the giant planet, she had almost completely severed all contact with Lin Zong and his father.
Lin Zong also kept the fact that he also carried memories hidden, in order to prevent his daughter from getting involved in what they were doing.
