The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 38 I Just Don’t Believe in Fate (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and follow-up reading!)
"Please note that the league anticipates a three-day stabilization period for the timeline, followed by a one-day rest period."

"Attention, next..."

The broadcast echoed over and over again throughout the entire league area.

The executive team was unusually generous and gave almost all members a day off.

Although it was just a rest, the news still ignited everyone's passion.

"We made it!"

From the research center to the executive office, everyone couldn't help but cheer when they heard this.

In the corridors, workrooms, and even in elevators between floors, people were clapping excitedly or hugging each other.

This victory filled the entire league with an atmosphere of relaxation and joy for the first time.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

In a research room of the Time Series Continuity Department, Min Yu suddenly pushed his chair away and stood up.

This ordinary researcher's eyes were slightly red and his emotions were almost out of control.

"My theory of continuity is confirmed! My theory is confirmed!"

His voice was even hoarse from excitement and he kept repeating it over and over again.

"See! I haven't forgotten! I haven't forgotten all this! Really, really—"

Min Yu took off his TDD with trembling hands and held it high above his head, as if it were some kind of divine miracle.

His body was shaking with excitement, and he couldn't even support himself and fell to the ground, but he was still shouting happily.

"We have successfully maintained the existence of the Post-Cycle Alliance!"

At the same time, in another office area.

Bai Zichen stood by the window. He did not join their revelry, but just stood there quietly and watched.

"That's great," he thought silently, his eyes softening for the first time.

"At least this time, we're off to a good start."

"Hope this is a fresh start for you, Captain."

Lupus said softly.

He was holding a bunch of white chrysanthemums. He had looked up information before coming and thought that Wang Wu, as a Chinese, should also like this.

In fact, he originally planned to give bamboo.

But he was stopped by the base's logistics regulations. He planned in his mind to bring a potted plant when the captain was discharged from the hospital.

Only the medical staff in the logistics area of the underground base did not cheer.

Heavy silence filled every wall and every floor of this corridor——

The rooms on both sides of this corridor are occupied by members of the Alliance who have lost their memories due to "looping".

"Oh my, why are you saying this? As long as the person is okay, that's all."

The cabinet beside the bed was already filled with flowers.

Wang Wu placed the flowers that Lupus handed to him on the ground on the other side of the bed, and then tried hard to recall the past in his mind.

But he still couldn't remember anything.

Those emotions surged in his eyes like ripples on water.

In the end, he suppressed the anger, irritability and anxiety in his eyes.

When he turned around, he had already put on a warm smile.

"At least I still remember something, um... Wu Hao is here too,"

He said lightly, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone, as he instructed.

"Unlike you, I heard that those of you who were able to move immediately participated in another very dangerous operation. You still have to pay attention to safety."

The person who just came is Wu Hao.

But Lupus did not correct the captain's mistake.

He just felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if his throat was blocked by mud, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

He remembered that the captain had never called his name since he entered the room.

Lupus opened his mouth but didn't tell the truth. He just followed the captain's words and responded softly:

"Anyway, I'm very grateful for your help in the previous operation."

"It's my duty, it's my duty. After all, I am that guy," Wang Wu couldn't remember the name of his team again.

"It's called 'out of sight, out of mind,'" Lupus reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah."

Wang Wu's voice sounded very optimistic and he laughed.

"I'm the captain, after all," he said, his expression darkening. "But fortunately, due to this accident, I'll probably be transferred to the logistics department."

He wanted to say something to comfort Lupus, but he just laughed and shook his head.

"Well! Not having to worry about forgetting things again is a good thing, isn't it?"

The two chatted for a while until the TDD on Lupus' wrist started beeping.

"Captain Wang, I'm sorry," Lupus said with an apologetic look on his face, "I got an order from above."

Wang Wu cursed and laughed, waving his hand to tell him not to delay the mission.

"Go do your thing! Get out of here, you little brat! I'm not old enough to need someone to take care of me!"

Lupus forced a smile and turned to leave the ward. As he closed the door, he couldn't help but look back at the captain.

The room fell silent again, empty only with shadows.

After Lupus left the room, Wang Wu took out his left hand which had been hidden in the quilt with a sense of loss. Thinking of the news that he had been told to transfer to the logistics department, he felt bitter in his heart.

Staring at his empty wrist for a long time, he thought of the team member who had just come to visit him but whose name he had forgotten.

He sighed softly. "Ah..."

"Sigh..." Lin Sheng sighed heavily.

Staring at the data handed over by the executive level, his eyes repeatedly lingered on the long number behind the line of "personnel losses".

"Did they lose so many people?"

"Actually," the chairman of the executive council who came to report also sighed, "it's probably more than that. Several bases in Africa have completely lost contact, and we're sending personnel to deal with them."

"It's the same as last time," Lin Sheng rubbed the line of numbers with his fingers, "I'll present the awards to them personally."

"Have you forgotten?"

The Council President reminded Lin Sheng, "The information about you and the core members has been eliminated from the alliance as planned, unless you again—"

Lin Sheng was stunned. He really had forgotten about this matter.

Throughout the past cycle, especially today, he felt like a machine, responsible for receiving information, analyzing it, and then spitting out a cold result.

"Tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing to make them forget me?"

Lin Sheng was speechless. He didn't know if his decision was right. There was a bitterness in his tone. "I just, I just—"

"Yes, we all know."

No one understood Lin Sheng’s sacrifice better than everyone in the executive team. “You just don’t want us to think this is just a game between two ‘gods’.”

Lin Sheng always believed that he was a time traveler and also a human being.

The Speaker of the Parliament was somewhat moved, and she even brought out the suggestion that was not in the report.

"How about you stop the speed control device and let it rest for a day?" Shigenobu Hitomi choked up a little, "After all, a hundred times the flow rate is really..."

"No," Lin Sheng stood up. "The alliance has just been established, not to mention that we just suffered such a serious loss. Well, remember, I will talk to Dr. Agasa, Dr. Bai, and Joyce later..."

Lin Sheng read out a bunch of names, "Have them come over later, I have some arrangements."

Shigenobu Hitomi gave up trying to persuade him.

She knew that the man in front of her had such determination and was worthy of all of them following.

So she said.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

……

When exactly did this shift occur?

Lin Sheng sat back in his chair and his thoughts wandered a little.

Anyway, a hundred times the flow rate will not leave anything unprocessed, so whenever the room becomes empty again, thoughts will wander.

Just like Lin Sheng said, he had selfish motives at the beginning.

It's not just selfish pursuit of boring things like power and wealth.

It also carries the idea of being a superior or even higher-ranking person.

After all, I am different, I am a time traveler.

This was Lin Sheng’s initial thought—

I even got stuck on the time bug of the entire Conan world!

At that time, I felt like a player in a territory-building game.

Trying to play a wise role, trying to make those who know the truth appreciate me, trying...

But gradually, I changed.

When exactly is it?

Now Lin Sheng already knows a lot about "loops" and "dual timelines". He can really live forever and live well as originally envisioned.

Even if that "cycle" may bring harm, how can we not avoid it?
There is always an easy way, isn't there?
Join the protagonists and participate in those cyclical cases, so that you don’t have to worry about the anomalies that may be caused when the timelines merge and overlap, right?
For countless days and nights, even during every dull moment, a voice would echo in Lin Sheng's heart—

Why not just join in on the detective game?
Why not be like the others who traveled to Conan's world.

To gain fame, to play tricks on others, to show off one's abilities, to fall in love, or even to own and occupy those characters that one had fantasized about in the past?

Why should I do such a thing for ordinary people?

Is it when you discover that the subordinate, friend, or relative you once thought was the most loyal is actually preparing to rebel, and finally cry out your fear of the "revolution"?

Did you use the cycle to replace those with ulterior motives with those who trusted you more? Did you see them working so hard on their ideas?

But Lin Sheng refused to believe in fate.

He wouldn't deliberately do the opposite or something else just because he didn't believe it. Regardless of providence, plot, or fate, he, Lin Sheng, would only do what my mind told me was the right thing to do.

If he is asked to lead, he will lead.

If he needs to lie, he will lie.

If his life allows for love, he will definitely love.

Even if some misfortunes happened, even if the "cycle" was already in front of Lin Sheng, he still convinced himself that those were just coincidences, things that could be overcome with perseverance and awareness, and things that could be figured out with wisdom and patience.

Yes.

How could he abandon them when the Alliance cried out to him for help like a baby, tried to understand his worries and doubts like a child, and tried to share his pain?

This trust, this concern...

This concern is such a heavy thing!

When Lin Sheng came to his senses and faced this alliance that he had invested so much effort and energy into, which was like a child—

How could he let them down?!

Two absurd timelines, a "cycle" that fools the world, and this damn thing called fate, this clown-like world...

Lin Sheng had already decided to blow them apart.
