Chapter 1484: Chapter 437: Not Worth It (4)
"... Now Yan Huan has forgotten everything. What he said about me being important to him, is it false?"
"..."
Yan Ye wanted to immediately reply "no," but for some reason, in front of her, the lie seemed increasingly difficult to utter.
It was as if it was stuck in his throat, pulled back and unable to be spoken.
Thus, he could only say,
"It truly isn’t worth it..."
"Even if it’s not worth it, I still want to do it..."
Yan Ye raised his eyes in disbelief to look ahead.
But what he witnessed was her looking up, with an apologetic smile.
She seemed to understand that everything was for her...
So, even though she made such a selfish decision, she spoke as if she was apologizing to Yan Ye, saying,
"Because... I really still... still love Yan Huan... so..."
"You..."
The rest of the words, Yan Ye couldn’t say.
Perhaps it was the blame of being disappointed in her, or maybe it’s the despair of being unable to save her regardless...
But those words, Yan Ye also couldn’t say to her.
Because the person she liked was none other than himself.
"Yan Ye... I’m not joking, and I’m not being reckless, even though... I know I’m foolish, but... but..."
And Bai Yi sniffed, wiping away tears while analyzing,
"Yan Huan, dad, and mom, it’s all because of me that they’ve become like this...
"If it weren’t for me, Yan Huan wouldn’t have died on his 19th birthday.
"If it weren’t for me, my mom could have lived the life she wanted, isn’t she regretful?
"If it weren’t for me, my dad wouldn’t have gone to prison. Given his character, he could’ve been with someone else...
"And you... Yan Ye, I can actually tell, that golden light wanted to take you away, not harm you...
"With that kind of power protection, even if I disappear, you would definitely be safe..."
All this time, she had really been so unremarkable.
Just like now, even after going through so much, she turned from a clown into a girl who could analyze matters clearly...
But why, why couldn’t she be a bit more remarkable and consider herself?
"..."
Seemingly understanding Yan Ye’s thoughts, Bai Yi lowered her eyes, but then softly said,
"Although reluctantly, do you know, Yan Ye... I might really be very similar to my mom..."
"?"
"Only, we regret different things..."
She suddenly said such a meaningful sentence.
"..."
Feeling her determination, Yan Ye realized that mere persuasion wouldn’t work.
He had to do something...
He had to find a way...
He lowered his head, bloodshot eyes murmuring,
"It shouldn’t be like this... There must be a perfect way... There must be... Just give me a little more time, Bai Yi... Give me time to think..."
There must be...
The ability of the ring finger still has doubts...
How is the Causal Law Bomb triggered...
There must be a way...
Ring finger...
Ring finger...
"..."
Seeing this, Bai Yi wiped away her tears.
She didn’t disturb, but looked back at Yan Huan, checked the time...
Then silently took out the pocket watch.
"Yan Ye..."
"Ah?"
Yan Ye...
Or Yan Huan, bloodshot eyes lifted.
Yet he saw her standing up, taking several steps back, raising the pocket watch with a slight smile.
Above, the time was precisely 4:44.
Not good!!
Upon seeing this, Yan Huan felt a chill down his spine.
He watched the distance Bai Yi put between them, instantly realizing what she was about to do.
"Bai Yi!!"
Seeing this, he immediately activated virtualization, rushing towards Bai Yi.
In an instant, the surrounding space-time tunnel opened again, swallowing them into it...
Outside, Big Thumb’s great power had been waiting for a long time.
But this time, Bai Yi intentionally kept a distance from him.
So, the brilliant golden light instantly entangled Yan Huan, keeping him in place.
As for Bai Yi, Big Thumb didn’t care about her, so she disappeared in front of Yan Huan, stepping into an unknown "if" line, continuing to traverse.
It’s over...
"!!"
Watching Bai Yi separate from him, Yan Huan instantly realized:
He couldn’t possibly catch up with her!
Every time traversed into an "if" line is unique, and Yan Huan doesn’t even know which day she’s going back to.
And just a minute later, at 4:45, reality will span across time and bring the result...
A result he already knew:
Bai Yi, completely gone!
"Buzz!!"
And that golden light dragged Yan Huan’s body, pulling him fiercely towards the future.
Among them, his human form and cat form began to gradually separate.
"Meow?!"
The cat form bestowed by Meow started to fall down, while Yan Huan’s original body, under the protection of the golden light, rose upwards.
"..."
But at this moment, wrapped in the golden light, Yan Huan’s face was like fury, gazing into the dark deep space, gritting his teeth, suddenly grabbing the golden light around him.
He still couldn’t go back...
He must save Bai Yi...
Even if it’s a cycle, even if it’s unchangeable, even if there are consequences...
He absolutely must find a way!!
"Aria!! Stop!!!"
In the black deep space, he gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, in the future, Aria, who was casting spells under the embrace of several young girls, hesitated,
"Ow?"
She blinked, her golden hair instantly fading under her conscious manipulation.
"Crack!"
In the deep space independent of the world line, the golden light wrapping Yan Huan also suddenly dispersed, letting Yan Huan plummet back.
[44:44:05]
Now, it’s five seconds past 4:44 p.m.
Yan Huan fell downward, plunging back into a shattered "if" line.
It’s the "if" line previously destroyed when Big Thumb’s power stormed in to chase Bai Yi...
Now, the dream of the world is shattered, leaving only darkness like a quagmire.
Yan Huan fell heavily into it, then lifted his eyes.
Only to suddenly pause...
Because in front of the darkness, everywhere are abandoned...
White cat corpses.
Among them, perhaps one is the one that dropped when he fell just now.
"Bang!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
And in the sky above, more and more white cat corpses without Yan Huan continue to fall down, like raining.
On the ground, the blood of the white cat corpses also starts to converge into a river.
It’s the shell of the destroyed "if" line, still mechanically recreating what just happened.
But to Yan Huan:
It also seemed like, one desperate Yan Huan after another unable to prevent tragedy, reaching the end of the cycle, taken away by Aria, then watching Bai Yi disappear in front of him...
"Ha... Ha..."
In the immense darkness, Yan Huan kneeled alone among countless white cat corpses, covered in blood.
"Drip... Drop..."
[44:44:09]
Now, it’s nine seconds past 4:44 p.m.
And by 5 p.m. sharp...
Bai Yi will disappear once again.
