【Chaoyan Notes:】

[Number of game days: fourth day, night. 】

[Internal note: Tonight, I will pick up his clone. That clone seems to be called "Shadow". 】

…

The roulette wheel fell to the ground, and the shadow fell unconscious at the edge of the village.

Chao Yan approached him calmly.

"Demon Hunting Order..." Chaoyan said to himself: "Did the fine-tuning made by the gods this week include the addition of the 'Demon Hunting Order' policy? Then, Su Ming'an will send his avatar to rescue Yamada Machichi, and the avatar will be subject to If he dies after being seriously injured, the clone will not join the Urban Guardian Department, and it will be difficult for Su Mingan to get in touch with the Ark Project. It turns out that this is the guidance."

She felt as if she was playing a game called "The Butterfly Effect." Whenever the god makes a slight adjustment, she needs to try her best to reverse the plot to its original position.

"So - in order for Su Ming'an to come into contact with the Ark Project, I must rescue Ying."

She knelt down and brushed Ying's hair away. Shadow was seriously injured, with sharp sword wounds all over his body.

"She looks exactly like Su Ming'an..." She narrowed her eyes: "But none of the causal lines on her body are related to Su Ming'an..."

She picked up Shadow and put him in the room to heal. Afterwards, she went to the City Guardian Department to spread the news that "The First Dream Patroller is here".

Soon, people from the City Protection Department heard the news and came, and she hid behind the house and watched Ying being picked up by them.

In this way——Su Mingan will be able to access the Ark Project.

The girl's face was hidden in the shadows, and she smiled quietly.

【Chaoyan Notes:】

[Game days: Fifth day, early morning. 】

[Inner Note: In the early hours of this morning, Su Ming'an will be exposed as a heterogeneous species due to the college entrance examination. He will escape into the black mist with Xia Jiawen and join the old Holy See. This was also the first time he and Xiao Jingsan met. I've watched this scene ten times. 】

[No...it cannot be called Xiao Jingsan. Xiao Jingsan at night should be called "Xiao Ying". Xiao Jingsan is two people during the day and night. 】

…

Chao Yan traveled all night and arrived at the old Holy See in the early morning.

"Looking for me?" Xiao Jingsan was still teasing the children. When he saw Chao Yan, he immediately stood up: "Is something wrong?"

"Your place is still as cold as ever. Just staying here for a while makes me feel very depressed." Chaoyan looked around and looked at the black fog everywhere. Here are people who cannot be tolerated by society.

Jamel Xiao smiled lightly: "You have objections to the 'paradise' I built? We are not familiar with it."

Chaoyan's face was expressionless.

Yes - in fact, she was not familiar with Jamel Xiao, they had not even met a few times. She was a free person, and he was the Vicar of the Old Church.

"It's true that I'm not familiar with you, but I'm very familiar with your night person." Chaoyan said, "Can you call him out now? I want to talk to him."

Jamel Xiao's expression changed instantly.

"Why?"

"Because he is your 'karma'." Chaoyan said.

She can see the lines of cause and effect, and she can also see many things in the world - everyone has a faint overlapping shadow. To explain it in a popular way: everyone has their "past life" stored in them.

But it’s not accurate to say it’s a past life. If everyone is compared to a computer host, they all have a "USB disk" from the past stored in them. It is not yet known who put this "USB disk" in it.

When the "USB flash drive" is inserted, people will be like "ghosts", thinking of the memories and emotions in the "USB flash drive", as if they have become their own past lives. When the "USB disk" is unplugged, people will return to themselves.

Just like Xiao Jingsan, he is Xiao Jingsan during the day, an extreme idealist who longs to build heaven. But at night, he will automatically "insert the USB disk" and become a completely different person. That person calls himself "Xiao Ying".

Chaoyan had communicated with Xiao Ying once and knew that he came from a long time ago, even a thousand years ago. The reason why the gods are so eager to erase history - probably a large part of it is also to completely obliterate these "USB disks".

These "USB disks" are like the memory images left behind by people who fought to the death thousands of years ago, or the personality preservation of people thousands of years ago. Maybe this is the last spark they left behind when they fought so hard, maybe this is just the last electronic tombstone they built when they died.

——To this day, Chaoyan still doesn’t know what kind of era it was a thousand years ago.

Is it steampunk like the Alice era three hundred years ago, or is it like the Louyue Kingdom era further back, or...

All she knew was that it was an era when people desperately tried to keep the old gods, but the gods obliterated everything. Perhaps there were countless revolutionaries at that time, but in the end even their names were obliterated. The modern era only has a history of more than ten years.

"I was asleep when Xiao Ying appeared." Xiao Jingsan said calmly.

Although his expression looked very calm, Chaoyan saw the jealousy in his eyes - such clear jealousy, like dark fire burning in his pupils. The emotion amused her.

Xiao Jingsan has always been resistant to Xiao Ying.

There is no other reason. Along the way, Xiao Ying was helping Xiao Jingsan. Otherwise, how could Xiao Jingsan, an orphan who came out of the slums, establish such a huge old church?

——It was all done for him by Xiao Ying from a thousand years ago. Even though their names are very similar and their temperaments are almost the same, you can't feel the difference. They are really like the past life and the future life.

But Xiao Jingsan didn't want such a person to dominate his body. He would rather do it all by himself slowly. He was disgusted by many of Xiao Ying's methods, but he couldn't stop them.

…

[Xiao Jingsan said: "The sins of the old Holy See were not committed by me.\
