"Yan Huan!"

"..."

At this moment, the white cat in the media room lay on the ground, its body full of cracks. Upon closer inspection, its tightly shut eyes and the slight convulsions of its body suggested it was enduring some extreme pain.

Both the past version of the black cat Meow and the one within Yan Huan’s mind expressed concern.

However, the Meow in front of him made no extra movements. The whole cat was uncontrollably dragged up and flown towards a particular direction,

"Meow?"

It turned out that past Yan Huan had run out to chase Bai Yi, and as Meow’s avatar, it could not be more than 15 meters away from him, so it had to leave.

But Yan Huan’s avatar, Yan Ye, was not Bai Yi’s true modifier avatar, so he could ignore this rule.

"Yan Huan, are you okay, meow?"

Right now, he was just in severe discomfort.

A sharp pain, as if from the depths of his soul, made him grit his teeth in agony, as if his memories, along with his body, were about to shatter into pieces.

Moreover, he was horrified to discover:

His original memory of this comic convention suddenly became blurred...

Even though he and Bai Yi had changed things so many times before, it was never like this!

"I told you before, meow, it’s best to let Bai Yi handle changing the past. Don’t do it yourself!"

In his mind, Meow’s anxious voice, accompanied by a piercing ringing in his ears, sounded as if it came from far, far away,

"Moreover, the crucial thing is, this knot is not only important but also directly related to your own past!

"Changing the past brings backlash, and changing your past will have unimaginable repercussions!

"Yan Huan, the effects of changing your past will bypass any resistance, acting one hundred percent directly on you!

"Only someone with Bai Yi’s one-in-a-billion constitution could completely resist this backlash. Besides, even if she alters her past, as long as it doesn’t erase her essential self, it won’t affect her...

"Fortunately, Bai Yi helped bear half of the consequence of this knot, so the outcome wasn’t as severe..."

Listening to Meow’s words, Yan Huan squinted and panted for a while before shakily getting back up.

On the ground, faint bloodstains had already fallen.

"Alright, I understand..."

Yan Huan hung his head, bearing the pain, and limped towards the door once again using virtualization.

He needed to find Bai Yi first, not knowing where she had gone...

Yan Huan jogged all the way, quickly exiting the backstage and entering the main area.

However, as soon as he came out, he didn’t see Bai Yi but instead noticed his past self standing on the stage side with an unpleasant expression.

He clenched his fists, staring at the stage without uttering a word. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan was mildly stunned, only then realizing the atmosphere outside wasn’t great either.

The scene, which should have been bustling with people, was now filled with eerie whispers.

In the audience, Zuo Jiangqin’s face was blue and purple, while Jiang Xiong looked worried.

"Uhm... Miss Bai Yi? Are... are you okay?"

Turning his head again, he saw that past Bai Yi was holding the microphone on stage, her small face pale, her eyes vacant, and her lips trembling.

"I... I..."

Thus, it was only when Yan Huan rushed outside that he realized if he hadn’t played the BGM or encouraged her at that time, Bai Yi would have been in such dire straits.

And now, Bai Yi, who had completely lost hope, stood on stage in a daze, facing countless puzzled and skeptical gazes from the audience below, facing her mother’s cold and angry stare from below, and felt a moment of trance.

More helplessly, the pocket watch she should have relied on was now eerily silent, with no response at all.

Was it that the current Bai Yi had activated Indifference, causing the past Bai Yi to be unable to activate anything at that moment?

Thus, at that moment, the girl on stage was entirely isolated and helpless.

"Haha, it seems Miss Bai Yi is a bit nervous since this is her first time participating in such an event..."

The host, also sweating profusely, was still trying to salvage the situation.

"Aaaah!!"

But in the next moment, Bai Yi on stage screamed out as if collapsing, tossed the microphone aside, and ran back to the backstage in a panic,

"Hey hey hey! Miss Bai Yi!!"

"Is this for real?"

"Huh? Here for comedy, I guess..."

"Made me wait so long for this..."

"When is the next performance?"

Seeing such a major accident on stage, many of the audience below fell into a speechless stupor.

"..."

Below the stage, watching the girl’s despairing back, Yan Ye felt a pang in his heart, lowering his gaze.

"Tsk, the plan failed... It’s all because of you, Useless..."

"Meow?!"

Behind him, past Yan Huan also looked displeased, rubbing his temples.

But after the blame, he relaxed a bit, feeling grateful,

"But it’s not too bad, her modifier does not have any virtualization phenomena. Since that’s the case, it’s fine... However, my phone..."

Mentioning his phone, Yan Huan visibly displayed a pained expression.

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Ye was slightly startled and turned to look at his past self.

And past Yan Huan tapped Meow’s head, shook his head, and planned to find Sakuragi and the others to reunite,

"No problem, we’ll wait for next time... Ow!"

But before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his calf.

He frowned, looked down, and discovered that his calf had been bitten hard.

Raising his eyes again, he saw the "culprit" white cat, after biting him, dashed away into the distance without looking back, vanishing in an instant.

"Seriously..."

Completely unable to catch up with the white cat, Yan Huan, with a bite for nothing, couldn’t help but show a dark expression.
