Stop hypnotizing me, villain princess!

Chapter 49 Lake Water and the Ripples of Fate Theory

[Plot deviation: 0.00%]

Lynn was in a trance for a moment.

He looked at the numbers on the system panel in disbelief.

The resolution of the Creation School incident happened just yesterday, and the scene is still vivid in my mind.

It was obvious that he had changed the fate of more than 300 people who were supposed to die, and as a result, the future trajectory of Ivester's life had changed drastically.

Even leaving this aside.

I still remember clearly the moment when I took off her mask when we first met.

Otherwise, where did the Lie Swallower come from?

If it weren't for the system points he got from Yvessite, he would never have been able to draw this magical skill, and he would never have been able to survive the hypnosis experiment!
As the saying goes, cause and effect, there is a cause for every effect.

So Lin En was very sure that the number should not be 0.

But the truth came into his eyes, and he fell into unprecedented silence.

After a while, Lin En seemed to have thought of something.

parallel world?

No, it's impossible.

In just a moment, Lynn ruled out this possibility in his mind.

Not to mention that he himself scoffed at this theory, let's take another point.

This is the world of novels.

The original plot has only one line from beginning to end, and everything is written down long ago.

And Lin En didn't even remember that a similar setting was mentioned in the novel.

In his view, this is more like the axial time theory.

The entire story starts from the moment the hero appears on the stage and develops in a predetermined direction, without deviation, until the end.

If that’s the case, then what’s the point of talking about infinite possibilities?
In Lin En's opinion, the parallel world is a completely false proposition.

For example, in some novels I read in my previous life, the male protagonist traveled to another world line and saved the female protagonist who originally had a tragic fate, and the ending was happy.

This sounds like a win-win situation.

But once the setting of infinite world lines is taken into consideration, there will always be countless world lines where the heroines still live miserably.

The so-called salvation is nothing more than the complacency and laziness that arises after solving the problems of the current world line.

So Lynn doesn't believe in parallel worlds at all.

But apart from this, what else can explain this phenomenon?

Could it be that this is a case of cause and effect being reversed and destiny being predestined?
For example, if a person is destined to die in poverty in the future, even if he gets a windfall, he will spend it in various ways instead of getting rich again.

Yvesette was the destitute person, and she was the windfall.

Although I have been here before, I was ultimately unable to resist the world's will to modify the plot.

But this doesn't make sense either.

If this is true, at least the poor person should remember the wealth she once had.

Instead of being ignorant as she just showed.

Feeling the gaze of the Witch of the End, Lin En was silent for a moment.

Then he asked again: "Your Highness, do you still remember Morris, Afia and Ms. Milani?"

His eyes remained on the other person's face from beginning to end.

This time, things seem to be different.

After hearing these names, unlike the expressionless face just now, the expression of the Witch of the End froze for a moment, and then returned to its original coldness.

Lynn clearly saw a hint of reminiscence on her face.

However, that expression was not a fond memory.

"Calculating the time, it should be soon."

After a moment, she said calmly.

Lin En looked at her: "What do you mean?"

"These people should still be living in the era you are in." The End Demon Goddess said calmly, "But they are about to die." Hearing this, Lin En took a deep breath.

Of course he would not doubt the truthfulness of what the Witch of the End said.

Because there is not much description of the villain princess in the original work, and even fewer subordinates around her.

At least Lin En didn't remember that these people were mentioned in the original book.

Then there is only one possibility.

They died long before the plot developed.

Or maybe, these people never existed in the first place, but after I traveled through time, the will of the world supplemented the narrative with parts not mentioned in the original work in order to satisfy basic logic.

Of course, for Lin En now, these are not the key points.

He secretly kept this information in mind and then turned his attention back to his previous questions.

For the Witch of the End, she had forgotten the existence of Lin En, but still remembered her former subordinates.

So, what is the difference between me and Afiya and the others?
A flash of enlightenment arose in Lynn's mind.

Perhaps, because he doesn't belong to this world.

To the native people here, he is like an alien who is incompatible with any plot.

A. Impurities.

Thinking of this, Lin En suddenly looked at the Witch of the End: "Your Highness, I have another question."

"Have you ever heard the name 'Lynn Bartlett' anywhere else in your long life?"

The Witch of the End said calmly: "No."

Lin En was completely relieved: "That's good."

Hearing this, the Witch of the End glanced at him and said softly, "What do you mean?"

"It means that for you, the era I live in is history." Lin En looked at her with bright eyes, "But only I know that if I really existed in the past, it would be impossible for me to remain unknown."

"The name Lynn Bartlett is destined to be known around the world."

The previous theory of the poor can now be overturned.

Perhaps everything that happens in this world is destined.

But this is not the case for Lynn.

Judging from the term "plot deviation", combined with the memory of death in his previous life, he was most likely thrown into this world in order to change the plot of the original work.

There are no parallel worlds or additional timelines here.

There is only one axis of time.

Princess Ivester and the Witch of the End in front of her were the same person from beginning to end.

It's just that one is in the past and the other is in the future.

Of course, this may not be a very vivid description.

Lynn immediately thought of another vivid example.

Now he was like standing by a lake, and the Witch of the End in front of him was on the other side of the lake. Neither of them could directly interfere with the other.

Only by throwing a stone into the lake can the ripples and waves it creates truly affect the other side of the lake.

The act of throwing stones, when mapped into reality, is an action that changes the plot.

The lake that separates Lin En and the Witch of the End represents the corrective power of the world's will and a full 100,000 years of time.

Although some ripples of fate have been created at the moment, they will only be gradually wiped out by the resistance of the lake water and will not be able to reach the other side.

So she didn't remember anything about Lynn at all, and the plot deviation was reset to zero.

Because to everyone in this world, Lynn does not exist in the past or the future, but only in the present.

But this does not mean that all the previous work was in vain.

After all, he had only thrown a small stone into the lake.

What if one day, he carries a mountain?

As long as the ripples generated can evolve into wind and waves, sooner or later they will cross the 100,000 years and reach the other side.
