Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 443, page 440. Fans
"woo woo woo woo."

In the hospital ward, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Seeing that Bai Yi's emotions had completely collapsed, Bai Letian's expression changed slightly.

He knelt on the ground and glanced left and right at the hospital corridor behind him.

When he saw the twilight shimmering with a swampy green, and there was no one else in the entire hospital, his expression changed.

"quack"

So he had no choice but to grit his teeth, quietly move his knees, and move towards Zuo Jiangqin and his baby daughter.

"Kakaka!"

At this moment, with the shift in the world line, the entire world begins to become unstable.

A terrifying aura permeated reality, making Bai Yi, who was crying, feel a chill run down her spine.

That is the terrible consequence called "annihilation".

"."

That's too late
If we don't hurry...
It has to be done before that.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

So, disregarding her grief, Bai Yi suddenly raised the blade and aimed it at the baby in Zuo Jiangqin's arms.

"do not want!"

"Crack!"

In an instant, Bai Letian gritted his teeth, gripped the blade with one hand and Bai Yi's wrist with the other, stopping her from stabbing.

"hiss!"

Blood trickled down Bai Letian's hand, causing him to wince in pain.

"husband!"

Seeing this, Zuo Jiangqin went all out, kicking Bai Yi while holding the child, forcing her back.

But Bai Yi held the blade tightly, allowing it to slip out of Bai Letian's hand.

"How are you? How are you?"

"I'm fine"

Bai Letian held his bleeding hand, originally intending to rush over and subdue Bai Yi while he was off balance.

But at this moment, Bai Yi gritted her teeth and took out her pocket watch.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

A sense of terror welled up in Bai Letian's heart.

At this moment, the entire exterior wall of the hospital was covered with toads, croaking and watching them.

Along the corridor behind them, numerous toads hopped and skipped into the room.

"No, we have to go!"

Bai Letian was quite frightened and even began to suspect that he had just had a nightmare.

Without the slightest hesitation, he simply scooped Zuo Jiangqin up in his arms and ran towards the door.

Zuo Jiangqin was holding a baby in her arms.

"Tap Tap"

"Time.Pause"

But at this moment, inside the door, Bai Yi, who was holding a knife, simply spoke softly.

"boom!!"

An invisible wave erupted like a nuclear explosion, freezing everything in the world.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

How can I pull myself together when my heart is broken?

Full of defense, all I want to do is hide in a corner.

To be honest, I'm really tired.

After going through twists and turns, what did we ultimately gain?

"Um, thank you everyone."

On stage, the little girl named "Baiyi" finished singing and bowed to the audience.

Then, she nervously pursed her lips, glanced at the judges below the stage, and then turned and left the stage.

As she was leaving the stage, her mother's words were still echoing in her mind.
"You absolutely must get first place, you understand?! The resources for first place at Yasaka Company are excellent; no one else can compete with you. You have to work hard and give it your all!"

"."

At that moment, the judges in the audience nodded and glanced at each other.

However, the middle-aged man who was there just now at number 67 is no longer there.

"Not bad. Not bad."

"Um"

At the same time, they gave each other a rating.

The maximum score is 10 points. Of the five judges, three gave it 9 points, one gave it 10 points, and one gave it 8 points.

"This little girl is very talented. Although she was a bit stage-shy, it's truly remarkable that she can sing like this at such a young age."

"Yes, she's a whole level above her peers. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll be number one this year."

However, after one of the judges said that, the other judge, who had been sitting next to the middle-aged man, coughed lightly.
"Hey everyone, don't forget, the club president really likes number 67."

"."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent for a second.

Immediately, they exchanged glances and silently changed Bai Yi's score.

He changed it so that it was a little shorter than the little boy with number 67.

"."

Soon, the last few children finished their performance.

The people from Yasaka Company put all the scores and rankings on an electronic display screen, and then specifically approached the top-ranking children and their parents.

"Congratulations, Mr. Oi, your child is number one."

"."

"Congratulations, Ms. Zuo, your child came in second place."

"Oh, thank you. Thank you."

Zuo Jiangqin accepted the trophy from the staff member with a big smile and waved goodbye as the staff member left.

But once the other person was out of sight, Zuo Jiangqin's face immediately fell.

Her face immediately hardened, and she turned to look at her daughter beside her, who was holding an instrument and had a slightly pale face, and questioned her.

"What happened to you?! You can't even beat that big guy?! I watched his training session before, and he was just average!!"

"Mom, I'm...I'm sorry."

"You're not just letting me down, you're letting yourself down!"

Upon seeing Bai Yi's reddened eyes, Zuo Jiangqin angrily grabbed her ear, causing Bai Yi to whimper in pain.
"I heard that the kid number 68 ahead of you is also very good. He didn't come to the competition this time. If he had come, would you have gotten third place?!"

"Waaah...waaah."

"I told you long ago, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we really need this first place! You know our family situation, yet you're still so lazy and negligent!"

"I'm sorry."

What's the use of just saying sorry? If you already know you're sorry, you might as well...

Before Zuo Jiangqin could finish speaking, an agent from Yasaka Company walked over from a distance.

Seeing the parents scolding their child, he gave an awkward smile, then waved his hand and asked,
"Hello, ma'am, could I borrow your time for a moment?"

"Hey?"

Zuo Jiangqin turned her head, and upon seeing the other person's suit and tie, her expression immediately changed, and she forced a smile.
"Who are you?"

"Ah, I'm Akiyuki Takeda, a professional manager at Yasaka Entertainment. Here's my business card."

"I see. Takeda Akiyuki"

"Well, I think your child is very suitable to be trained as a child star. Her appearance is fantastic. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Upon hearing the word "appearance," Bai Yi, who had initially been somewhat surprised, immediately pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"There are some!"

But before he could finish speaking, Zuo Jiangqin nodded hurriedly, her excitement undisguised.

"Well, let the child wait outside for a bit? Shall we go to the office to talk?"

"well!"

As she agreed, Zuo Jiangqin released Bai Yi's hand, glared at her, and said...

"You wait! I'll deal with you when I get back."

"."

Little Bai Yi stood there, head bowed, bewildered, her starry eyes brimming with tears.

"woooooo"

The next second, she squatted down helplessly, hugged her knees, buried her head, and pitifully sobbed.

Don't hug me too tightly.

Don't comfort me.

Just give up on me.

Let me continue to fall.

What color is love?

It's all blurred now, I've forgotten.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

"Tap tap. tap."

Inside the hospital, time seemed to stand still.

Under the watchful eyes of countless toads, the girl holding the knife limped across the impending annihilation of reality.

With tears in her eyes, she walked out of the ward.

Leaning against the pristine white wall, she looked ahead with red eyes at the man and woman who had stopped in the middle of the road.

The man's hands were covered in blood, but he gritted his teeth and held the weak woman in his arms.

The woman curled up slightly, tightly protecting the swaddled baby in her arms. This, combined with the man's slightly lowered head, formed a barrier to prevent her from being harmed.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

At this moment, although everything was frozen, the baby in their arms continued to cry loudly, completely unaffected by the time stoppage.

"woo"

Before him, Bai Yi held a knife, staring blankly at the infant who was protected and whom he couldn't touch, and bit his lip tightly.

"Waaah! Waaah... Waaah!"

She tried several times to raise the knife and find a suitable spot to stab it, but none of them worked.

But the more she did this, the more her heart ached.

Looking at that child who seemed to be born with the love of the whole world, surrounded by the love of both parents, like a star being revered.
Now, comparing myself to that moment, standing before her with a knife in hand, utterly alone and desolate.
Why is this happening?

"Waaaaah...waaaah..."

After several unsuccessful attempts, in the boundless silence, Bai Yi finally couldn't bear it any longer, her body went limp and she knelt on the ground, crying.

"Why...why?"

As she questioned why, her desires, or rather, her regrets, surged even more intensely within her.

"Buzz!!" Just as her regret reached its peak, a terrifying causal bomb suddenly appeared on the baby's body.

So far
Future, present, past.
They have already formed a loop.

"Why? I have nothing."

However, the next second, as Bai Yi wiped away her tears and prepared to grip the blade again and stand up,
Suddenly, a cat meowed from behind.
That's not how it works, meow.

"!!"

Upon hearing the cat's meow, Bai Yi's eyes narrowed instantly.

Her body trembled, and she could barely grip the blade. A flicker of joy unconsciously appeared on her despairing face.
"Swallow Leaf".

As she turned around, she vaguely saw a very cute, but often smug, golden-eyed white cat appearing in the twilight.

He would look at himself with a helpless expression, wondering why he was doing such a stupid thing again.

But afterwards, a certain doting look appeared in his eyes.

"Meow~"

But at this moment, after that fleeting moment of confusion, what she saw...
It was a black cat with emerald eyes.

It tilted its head, sitting gracefully not far away, watching itself.

"Hey?"

Bai Yi was slightly taken aback when she looked at the black cat.

But for some reason, even though the only difference in appearance was the color, it gave Bai Yi a different feeling.
Great difference.

It is not a swallow leaf.

So, who exactly is it?
【Snapped! 】

At that moment, with a snap of the fingers, little Bai Yi, who was crying while hugging her knees, was immediately startled.

She sniffed and quickly looked up.

But then he noticed that a boy, wrapped up tightly and whose face was obscured, was sitting beside him.

He looked at me, his beautiful, warm eyes curving into crescents, and then he spoke softly.

"Hello, Bai Yi~"

"."

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

The golden pendulum swayed gently, as if connecting the future and the past simultaneously.

Therefore, both the petite Bai Yi and the grown-up Bai Yi spoke at the same time.

"who are you?"

"."

hear the words
The black cat in front of them wagged its tail and responded in a childlike voice, indistinguishable between male and female, just like Yan Ye.

"I am the incarnation of a cheat engine, but I am not yours."

The mysterious young man before him lowered his eyes, then smiled slightly.
I'm your fan!

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

Before her eyes, Bai Yi's starry eyes narrowed slightly.

Modifier
Incarnation?

"But you are not... Yan Ye."

But at that moment, a sentence that Yan Ye had once said suddenly flashed through Bai Yi's mind like lightning.

"Yan Huan also has a cheat device avatar, a cat."

However, if the cat in front of him is not his own incarnation, but looks exactly like Yan Ye, then Yan Ye...
"!!"

Realizing something in an instant, Bai Yi's starry eyes widened suddenly.

Then, tears welled up uncontrollably and streamed down her face.

Each tear seemed to reflect the image of her inseparable companionship with the white cat throughout their journey.

"You stupid cat!"

When he does something stupid, he gets so anxious that he immediately slaps his face with his paw pads.

"Meow?! Wait... wait a minute, meow!"

Then, when he sees himself changing clothes or taking a shower, he will quickly turn his head away.

"Bai Yi?!"

When I collapsed in a crisis, I could still vaguely see his anxious gaze.

"Yan Huan has been lying to you all along!!"

In an attempt to persuade himself to go back, he angrily said many bad things about Yan Huan.

I kept telling him not to say anything bad about Yan Huan.
Little did he know, he was telling him his true feelings all to save him.
And in the end, when he shamelessly insisted on continuing to time travel, he revealed that kind of...
A sorrowful look.
"Yan Ye. Yan. Ye. Yan Ye Yan. Yan Huan?! How could I be so stupid? How could I be so stupid? Waaah!"

When Bai Yi realized that it was Yan Huan, who had traveled back in time, who had done all of this, she couldn't help but laugh at her own foolishness, wiping away her tears.

But as she laughed, the smile on her face was completely swallowed up by sadness.

"Kakaka!"

However, at the same time, because Yan Huan's time travel was exposed, the already fragile timeline could no longer withstand it and completely erupted into annihilation.

"Buzz!"

Everything around them began to turn to dust as if an "if" loop had collapsed, causing Bai Yi's expression to change slightly.

But at this moment, the cat's expression remained unchanged.

Its originally jet-black cat form gradually dissipated like mist, then suddenly spread in all directions, swallowing everything in the world.

"Om!!"

In an instant, her originally petite, cat-like body expanded to an unimaginably large size.
The whole world?

The entire world line!!

Everything was enveloped by its body.

At that very moment, the annihilation that was supposed to destroy everything and act on the timeline shifted its target and bloomed above the black mist.

But those emerald green eyes remained fixed, staring intently at Bai Yi.

"So, do you understand now, Bai Yi? Yan Huan traveled back from the future to save you and prevent you from disappearing."

"!!"

Bai Yi raised her eyes, her face streaked with tears, and looked at the pair of eyes before her.

It looked down from its high vantage point and said softly,
"You are not alone, you are not without anything. There is always someone with you, who is willing to give everything for you."
"So, Bai Yi"
"Don't regret it, don't let yourself disappear."
"Don't let him down."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi's eyes widened, and she raised her eyes through the black mist.

"Yan Huan. Where is Yan Huan?"

Meow-chan didn't speak, but simply said,

"He has something he wants to tell you. Let me pass it on to him."

"."

Bai Yi's eyes widened, and a tear slowly fell.

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

"fan?"

Before that tear could fall from Bai Yi's face, Yan Huan, unable to bear it, gently reached out and caught it.

His face, hidden beneath the mask, was pale, and his eyes were unfocused, so he could only lower his head and offer a faint smile.
"yes."

"But...but I've only just started singing. And I haven't even won first place yet. Mom...Mom..."

Upon hearing that she had fans, Xiao Baiyi was immediately overjoyed.

But that joy lasted less than a second before it was immediately overshadowed by sadness.

Like a child, she waved her hand meaninglessly, wiped away her tears, and poured out her grievances.
"I've tried so hard, but my mom keeps saying I can't sing well, and that even if I sing, no one will like it. I'm so sad."

"It's okay, Bai Yi. Really, it's okay. Look at me, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan shook her head and said,

"You sang really well, Baiyi. Don't listen to your mother, believe in your own talent and hard work. You will definitely become a great singer in the future."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. I'm your first fan. Although I only met you today, and we may never see each other again, but..."

Yan Huan smiled slightly, lowered her head, and murmured,
"Your songs are really good, so good. I will always support you from the sidelines, and I look forward to your songs and your voice."

As she listened, Bai Yi's starry eyes, which had never received encouragement before and only knew how to shed tears, gradually brightened.

Yan Huan, standing before her, tremblingly extended her little finger and softly asked,

So, please promise me.
"Stay confident and persevere."
"Pin it up?"

Upon hearing this, little Bai Yi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Beneath those tears lay her radiant, star-like optimism.

So, she gently extended her little finger and grasped Yan Huan's little finger.
"it is good!"

"It would be great"

Seeing her smile, Yan Huan laughed and lowered her head.

"Sniff."

But the next second, Xiao Baiyi vaguely smelled a fishy smell, which made her search for the source of the smell.

But as she began her search, Yan Huan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly spoke.
"Um, I... I have something I want to tell you."

"Hey? What is it?"

"I"

Children's attention shifts quickly, so they immediately looked up at what was in front of them again.

Unbeknownst to them, beneath and behind Yan Huan, a gruesome stream of blood was already flowing.

His clothes, which were wrapped tightly around his body, were completely soaked with sweat, clinging to his skin and causing him constant, excruciating pain.

His eyes grew increasingly dim and unfocused, and his consciousness and memory began to decay.
Even so, his voice, though lowered, remained gentle and sincere.
"yes.
"I
What was I going to say?
"These are very important words I'll only say to you."

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

"Bai Yi."

In the black mist, Miao Jiang's voice gradually became distorted, turning into the exact same tone as Yan Huan's.

Upon hearing Yan Huan's voice, Bai Yi could no longer hold back her tears, which began to fall drop by drop.
"Yan Huan. Waaah."

He continued speaking,
"To be honest, I promised you so many things and said so many things to you before, but very few of them were true, and very few were kept."
"The fans' affairs, the high table dinner affairs"
"I feel very guilty and regretful."

"But at least there's one thing I promised you, one thing I owe you, and I truly want to fulfill that promise no matter what."

As Miao Jiang spoke softly on behalf of Yan Huan, the thick black mist seemed to drain all of Miao Jiang's strength, which she then used to restore the disappearing world line.

Between the two points, everything that should have been changed was restored.

The world was about to fall silent, and the pocket watch in Bai Yi's hand was slowly coming to a stop, signaling the end of her journey.
Those painful things, those things to remember, those things to regret.
All of them have become eternity.

But all of that is in the past.
Thankfully, it's alright now.
At the moment the long journey came to an end, Yan Huan's voice gently reached Bai Yi's ears.

Those were his sincere, earnest, and heartfelt words to Bai Yi; they were also his enduring, important, and belated promise.

Just as Bai Yi's starry eyes began to light up, before the world line returned to its timeless tranquility once again.
He whispered to Bai Yi, his beloved,
"I really, really, really like you, Bai Yi."
