"I don't remember..." Li Yuebai said.

He tried to recall if there was any special person he met when he was 18, but he could only recall some daily study life, without any trace of Ye Qing. If he tried to dig deeper into his memory, he would feel a sharp pain coming from under his skull, as if it was going to split.

"Host, you really should not remember it." The system said, "Because Ye Qing erased your memory when he left your world."

“…”

"Of course." The system added: "In certain specific situations, you may still recall some fragmented fragments. Even if you recall them, you will only think that they are some strange illusions and dreams, and you don't know that they are your personal experiences."

"Dream..." Li Yuebai suddenly remembered the dream that had troubled him for many years.

In the second time travel, when I was exhausted from fighting the vampires in the rental house, I had a dream - the sky was gloomy, dark clouds were hanging low, the horizon was far away, the forest was also far away, a cold wind was blowing, and not far away, there was a teenager looking at me, he looked very handsome and cute, but his expression was very gloomy, he stretched out a hand to me, and said: Brother, come here.

Perhaps this dream was the scene of my first meeting with Ye Qing.

Next, the system's explanation made him more certain of this guess.

"Ye Qing was still very young at that time, and had just been exiled by the Lord God." The system said: "He traveled through time and space to the body of a thirteen-year-old boy."

"Yes," Li Yuebai whispered. Judging from the appearance and figure of the boy in the dream, he was indeed about thirteen years old.

"The original owner died of illness, so Ye Qing was able to travel through time and space to the original owner's body. The original owner's mother had long since run away from home, and his father...his father seemed to be a successful person with a certain status and financial ability, but he was a sadist inside, often torturing his son physically and mentally." The system said, "Ye Qing was at a loss as to what to do with such a family."

"He can totally--" Li Yuebai blurted out.

Ye Qing is another personality of the Lord God. He possesses powerful mental strength. Every time he travels through time, he may have some special plug-ins. Destroying someone who abuses him is just a matter of moving his fingers.

"Unfortunately, Ye Qing had just been exiled by the Lord God at that time. He came to this world alone and had his previous memories stripped away by the Lord God. Under such circumstances, his mind was only equivalent to that of a human baby under one year old. He had no idea that he had powerful powers, let alone that he could use them." The system sighed, "In fact, he knew nothing. He was locked up at home by his father and had no contact with the outside world. He knew nothing about the normal ways of getting along in a normal family."

"Didn't the Lord God think that he was born evil?" Li Yuebai suddenly felt a nameless resentment in his heart: "Maybe the Lord God just made a wrong judgment out of arrogance and self-righteousness. Maybe Ye Qing has no problem at all. Maybe it was the harsh environment he encountered during this time of crossing that turned him into an evil being... The Lord God should be held responsible for this!"

The system had long been accustomed to Li Yuebai's aversion to the Lord God, but it still paused uncomfortably.

"Host, I also do not accept your excessive accusations against the Lord God." After all, the system has reverence and loyalty to the Lord God, and immediately defended: "What a person eventually becomes... has both innate and acquired reasons. I believe in the Lord God's judgment. Ye Qing's innate nature has the seeds of evil in it."

Li Yuebai didn't plan to argue about this issue, because he himself had never reached a definite conclusion. The real world is too complicated, and human nature is diverse. Some people have a good family background, are spoiled by everyone, and have received the best education, but they do many evil things. Some people have experienced countless pains and hardships since childhood and still maintain kindness and integrity. Both innate and acquired factors play a role, and which one is more obvious depends on the person, and it is impossible to generalize.

"Even though he was ignorant, he knew pain. One day, on a rainy day, he quietly escaped from his home." The system said, "But this world was too strange for him. He didn't know where to go, so he just stood on the side of the road in confusion, watching strangers coming and going in the rain." The system said, "Then he met you."

At that time, Li Yuebai had just entered the university campus. In order to raise enough tuition and living expenses, he took part-time jobs outside the school, such as print modeling. In order to facilitate part-time jobs, he did not live in the school dormitory, but rented a small house outside the school.

On a rainy day, Li Yuebai walked out of the subway exit, opened his umbrella, and walked along a sidewalk towards his residence. He saw the boy who was already soaked by the rain on the side of the road.

The boy was very cute, his clothes were exquisite and stylish, but his expression was very gloomy and confused. He just stood there motionless, letting the raindrops hit him.

Li Yuebai would never sit idly by when things like this happened. He was worried that the boy would be kidnapped by bad guys, and that he would catch a cold and get sick, so he naturally went up to him and asked him about it. However, the boy refused to speak, refused to tell his name, and even refused to tell his home address and his parents' phone number.

Li Yuebai was at a loss and had to take the boy back home.

After a few days of being well fed and well fed, the boy finally spoke, but he only called me brother and refused to provide any extra information.

"You really don't want to go home?" Li Yuebai teased him, "Is it because you like your brother too much?"

"Yeah." The boy replied softly.

"That won't work. Your parents and teachers will be worried. Your exams and tutoring classes will all be delayed." Li Yuebai calculated one by one: "And your household registration, your insurance, delicious snacks and fun toys are all in your home."

"I don't want to go back to Dad..." The boy's voice became softer and softer.

"Why not?" Li Yuebai was a little surprised.

"Because my father always beats me." The boy continued intermittently.

It was all Li Yuebai's fault that he had no sense of crisis at that time. He himself had no parents and always had an illusion about his family that was higher than reality. His playmates since childhood were all children in orphanages and classmates in school. He had never come into contact with victims of domestic violence. In his concept, parents love their children the most and will give their children the best. It is impossible for them to abuse their children. Even if they really beat their children, it was because the children were naughty and refused to study hard. It was a slight punishment and it could not be too serious.

In addition, the boy's language ability is very limited, and he speaks incoherently, so it is impossible for him to explain things clearly. The boy's clothes are clean and exquisite, and his hands, arms and calves exposed outside the clothes are all white and clean, without any marks...

All of this made Li Yuebai make a reasonable judgment.

Li Yuebai quickly called the police, and the boy’s father also came to the door soon.

The father was well-dressed, with a serious yet gentle look, and he looked middle class or above. Accompanied by the police, he came to Li Yuebai's residence and took the boy away.

In fact, Li Yuebai was really reluctant to leave.

"Brother..." The boy's voice was already tearful, and he held onto Li Yuebai's clothes and refused to leave.

"Thank you very much, little classmate." The boy's father thanked Li Yuebai amiably and even offered him a monetary reward. Although it was not accepted in the end, it still showed the father's attitude.

No one knew how many crimes he had committed in private, and no one knew how many scars he had left under the boy's clothes.

"Good boy." Li Yuebai bent down with a smile and touched the boy's hair: "You can come to play with me in the future, or write to me."

“……”The young man’s tears fell.

Li Yuebai watched the young man leave with his father, feeling a little melancholy and a little relieved. He didn't realize what a terrible wrong choice he had made.

…

"A year later, something terrible happened." The system retrieved a newspaper from that time: "The boy's father died mysteriously in his home, and the boy disappeared. Soon, multiple murders occurred throughout the city, and no one knew who the murderer was..."

"Did Ye Qing...finally discover his own power?" Li Yuebai couldn't stop shaking.

"Yes, after you abandoned him, he endured his father's abuse for a period of time, and finally exploded." The system said: "After killing his father, he could no longer suppress the urge to kill, and began to target innocent people."

"It's my fault." Li Yuebai said in a daze.

"Later, the Lord God tried to kill him, and he fled to another world." The system said: "Before leaving, he erased your memory."

Before leaving, he did not go back to the rental house to look for Li Yuebai, not even once.

"The system believes that he may be close to you in his heart, but he will never dare to come back to you again." The system said: "At least he didn't kill you or hurt you."

"..." Li Yuebai remembered that at that time, the murder case was a hot topic and everyone was in danger. He also watched the news reports on TV, but until the end, no one found out who the real murderer was.

"So, host, do you understand? Why were you chosen by the Lord God to become a traverser? Why do you always meet Ye Qing again and again?" The system said: "In the beginning, you were the first one to touch him."

"I am also the accomplice who pushed him into the abyss." Li Yuebai's face was as pale as paper.

"Although it's a bit cruel, I have to say that anyone else would do the same." said the system.

Others...

No matter what others do, at least now, this mistake was made by myself, and I should not find any excuse to evade responsibility.

Li Yuebai is willing to pay any price in exchange for a chance to be rescued.

"Host, don't rush to ask." The system saw Li Yuebai's urgency and spoke first: "What you mean now coincides with what the Lord God wants. The Lord God also hopes that you can return to your world, start over, and meet Ye Qing again for the first time..."

Li Yuebai raised his head suddenly.

There is one more chance...

"Really?" He heard his own trembling voice, like a traveler who was about to die in the desert and suddenly saw an oasis.

"Of course." The system said: "The Lord God has his own reasons. The Lord God hopes that you can change him once again. I hope that you... will keep him in your world forever."

After a long and fruitless pursuit, the Lord God began to consider another strategy, which was not to eliminate Ye Qing, but to keep him forever in the world he liked.
