Chapter 287 New Suggestions
Ivy thought that the head of the family would immediately ask what her legitimate reason was, but he didn't.
On the contrary, the head of the family retracted his sharp gaze and took a sip of tea leisurely.
Ivy looked at the head of the family calmly.
Her intuition told her that she could now breathe a sigh of relief.
"You are very honest." The head of the family praised her. "If you chose to lie just now, I would not believe your next words."
"Thank you?" Ivy thought for a moment and asked, "Can you detect lies?"
Perhaps because she had gained some initial trust, the head of the family also told her honestly: "I am used to engraving important things in my blood, so I can feel that some of the extra information does not belong to this world."
This was equivalent to telling Ivy in disguise that even though it was something that happened last week, the bargaining chips that had been negotiated would not change.
As expected of the Toki family, could Tokieda Yume be able to do the same? Engrave important things in her blood...
Ivy recalled Tokieda's final outcome, and a gloomy expression appeared on her face.
A cup of tea was pushed towards me, steam rising slowly.
"So, what is your legitimate reason?" The head of the family finally asked the question she had been waiting for for a long time.
Ivy sorted out her confused thoughts.
Her current situation is probably what Shizhi Meng once said: memory overwrite.
She only has memories of the second round. If you ask her what happened yesterday, she can still recall some details of the decisive battle.
As for the new world in the third round, she had no relevant memories in her mind.
Logically speaking, this world should not have many branches and changes. Those who have disappeared in the long river of time will be corrected and reconciled by the world, and the vacancies will be filled in the form of "decentralized puppets".
She needs to find time to check the enemy's status...
No, don’t think about these for now.
Otherwise her brain would explode.
Ivy forced herself to focus on the conversation.
"Where do I begin?"
She remembered that this was her first meeting with the head of the family, Shi Wenye, and the head of the family did not know her details and background.
The head of the family only remembered the chips from the second round, and he probably couldn't imagine a complete story.
"Don't worry about them waking up. Just take your time." The head of the family tactfully asked her to start from the beginning.
This will be a long story.
Ivy rubbed his brow.
She took a sip of hot tea and started telling the story from episode one.
Being in the world of the third round, talking about the events of the first round feels like talking about other people's experiences.
She has told this story many times, but when she tells it now, it feels different.
Maybe she has a little more understanding and recognition of the seniors a week ago.
'She' has probably disappeared forever.
This time, there was no time magic in Ivy's mind, and she could no longer summon a more powerful version of herself.
Did she say thank you to 'her'?
She couldn't remember some of it.
Until the end, until she stepped into the long river of time, she was accepting her help.
Did she say thank you?
…She really couldn’t remember.
The storytelling voice paused.
The head of the family was listening intently when suddenly there was no sound from the other side. He looked up and saw Ivy covering his eyes.
He didn't interrupt, as he said, there was plenty of time and the story could be told slowly.
After a moment, Ivy raised her head again and took a sip of warm tea.
"Then, she secretly followed that person... and jumped into the time vortex."
"The Sage's Heart sets the time three years ago."
Next is the story of the second week.
A story that has never been told, a story of her own.
The awakened time magic summoned a senior of the past.
A small action changed Ying's fate of dying from poison.
They enrolled in school, made plans, collected clues, and fought openly and secretly with the enemy. During this period, Tokieda Yume joined in, and the partners learned the truth one after another. They worked together to detoxify and seek revenge.
In the end, the uncurable poison was finally broken, but the backlash that had accumulated until then also devoured her.
The enemy waited for the right moment and began to act.
The result was that Ying died again.
From then on, everything seemed to go wrong.
They were forced to steal the Sage's Heart, and she sacrificed her own memories.
Chu Yu betrayed me, left, and never showed up again until the end.
She was also captured by the enemy. In order to save her, her remaining companions died one by one, first Wan Yexi, then Ye Jiyan, and finally...
……
In the end, in order to obliterate the enemy's soul, even the seniors of the previous week disappeared.
She almost lost everything, but at least... everyone's efforts were not in vain.
The toughest enemy has been eliminated.
Unfortunately, Ivy couldn't remember what kind of person that person was. She only had a vague impression in her mind, and she could feel that this impression would slowly disappear with time.
Evie stopped telling her story. She was done.
The story is not long, in fact it only takes one and a half years.
Although she slightly modified the part about Yume Tokieda, attributing the cause of Tokieda's death to the final enemy.
"In short, he is a very difficult enemy to defeat. Your followers couldn't even last two moves against him. In order to make him disappear forever, this is the only way I can think of."
Ivy expressed her helplessness.
She has worked so hard, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a reward from her to restart the world while destroying the enemies, right?
"I already understand the situation. I can sense that your plan is very careful and thorough, but the enemy's methods are always hard to guard against. You have tried very hard."
"Moreover, you have been trying to find ways to defeat the enemy. No matter how many changes you have experienced, you have remained rational and strong. It is really amazing. More importantly, you succeeded in the end."
"As a beneficiary of the new world, I cannot say words of blame, nor can I end your life."
After saying that, the owner took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Fortunately, the owner of the house was a reasonable and kind man, and he listened to the story very attentively.
“You’re not going to kill me?” Ivy asked again, just in case.
"No, if I kill you now, what's the difference between me and those bad guys?" The head of the family waved his hands, looking like he couldn't bear to listen to a tear-jerking story.
"Thank you."
Ivy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The first hurdle has been overcome.
But before she could relax, she heard the head of the family change the subject.
"But the bargaining chips that have been negotiated will not change. You must end your life before graduating from the third grade."
The patriarch's eyes glowed with silver light, and he spoke meaningfully: "But, even if I don't say it, you seem to..."
"I know. I promised you."
Ivy looked dejected.
This time of going back in time still consumed a part of her lifespan.
Although the time-bomb stealth machine helped her avoid most of the attacks, the time she returned exceeded the preset range, and she had to bear the excess herself.
But one thing is certain.
If it weren't for the time-stamp cloaking device, she might have died in the river of time.
"There is another thing." The head of the family added, "It has nothing to do with chips. It is a new suggestion."
"Yeah." Ivy waited for the next words.
"You have used the Sage's Heart twice in a row to enter the long river of time. I'm afraid you will have a strong resonance with the Sage's Heart now." As the maintainer of the time order, the head of the family expressed his concerns, "I'm worried that you might inadvertently awaken the Sage's Heart buried deep underground."
"You are no longer suitable to stay in the academy."
