Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Anlan... Anlan..."

"As for you, the one who adds more variables..."

"Originally, I should have killed you! But—how can a king be without attendants?"

"You...you..."

"Be my lowly male servant!"

"..."

More and more of those strangely appearing bubbles were forming in the air.

When a bubble floated up to An Lan's eyes, An Lan could hear... the sound seemed to be coming from inside the bubble!

What are the opponent's abilities?

bubble?

Turning into bubbles?

His thoughts drifted for only a moment before the bubble drifted towards An Lan, expanding rapidly... seemingly trying to envelop him and trap him inside...

As for ginger?

He was cursing as he was held down and stuffed into a bubble, which began to float upwards...

"I******..."

No matter what Jiang said or how much she bumped the bubble, it didn't break.

It seems An Lan is about to be imprisoned as well...

......

[6027] Inside the villa.

Liu Xuan and the others had already crawled in front of the television, their faces pale.

"Holy crap! In the end, we actually failed?"

"Bad news, the vice-captain might not be able to leave the dungeon... Good news, he doesn't seem to be dead, but he'll be the Little Mermaid's male servant for life..."

"How can we fight this? One person can't possibly defeat hundreds of future timelines!"

"..."

The members of the [Zhouchi Team] looked at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Xuan was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice that Long Ao on the other end of the phone didn't react at all...

and...

Meikalin, who should have been closely watching Anlan, suddenly felt a strange palpitation and discomfort.

She pursed her lips, glanced at the TV with concern, then turned on her phone to live stream the event and quickly walked out of the villa.

After walking out of the underground level, I took the elevator to the upper level and left.

until...

The palpitations only began to dissipate when we arrived at the site several kilometers away from the Defense Section of Zhouchi City.

Mekalin stared in the direction of the base, a sudden pang of panic gripping her. She was watching the live stream on her phone when a message popped up: "Mother hospitalized!"

Frowning, Mikarin quickly left the area...

......

"Pop—"

Just as Anlan was about to be enveloped by the bubbles!

He shouted suddenly into the void, "Long Ao! Long Ao! You're watching, aren't you?!"

"tell me!"

"Tell me using the principle of 'reasoning backwards'! What is the only possible way to avoid a hundred future timelines?!"

"What?!"

"What is he saying?!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, all the "Jiang Lai" looked towards An Lan!

This scene...

There really isn't one in the future!

What is Long Ao?

What does that mean?

Is there someone else here?!

No matter how clever the NPCs in the [Instance] are, they can't possibly imagine that An Lan is being watched live right now.

The only way out!

The only possibility is not within the [dungeon]!

And it lies in the first [SSS-level talent - Reversing cause and effect] in the Dragon Kingdom!

Yes!

Your "SS-level connection to the past" is indeed amazing, but using hundreds of sirens together is absolutely incredible! It practically covers all future timelines!

but!

What if I said that by using the "reversal of cause and effect" method of the [SSS-level] level, I could calculate the only possibility that could avoid a hundred future possibilities?!

[Reversing cause and effect!]

It can do it!!!

"Let me see your limits!"

"Dragon Pride!!!"

An Lan's voice was transmitted to Long Ao in the conference room through the screen.

Long Ao is indeed watching!

This is crucial for finding the location of the former site of the "Energy Extraction Society," and he's been looking at it all day!

The instant the sound came from the screen, a panel in front of Long Ao's eyes began to flash rapidly...

[Reversing Cause and Effect: Grand Vision Deduction in Progress...]

[Current Grand Ambition: To safely return An Lan and Jiang Lai to a point in time, avoiding all the future predictions of the sea monsters...]

[Calculating...]

[Calculation complete—]

[The Rebellious Timeline: The only thing the future can't predict is that An Lan absolutely refuses to do is... make An Lan a fake...]

"To turn An Lan into a 'fake'?"

"What does this mean?"

Long Ao blinked, not quite understanding what this meant.

But time waits for no one!

He directly obtained the "off-site assistance" privileges for this live stream, and then shouted loudly at the screen: "An Lan! The only timeline, the only timeline that allows you and Jiang Lai to escape, is to become a 'pseudo-human'!"

"Did you hear that?!"

"To become... [a fake]!!!"

"..."

"Buzz—"

The voice traveled across the screen and across dimensions, resounding in An Lan's ears.

An Lan watched the bubble approach, watching her own face reflected on it...

suddenly!

He laughed!

"Hahaha—hahaha—hahahahaha—"

"I understand... I understand..."

"The timeline I hate the most? That's right! That's right! I absolutely refuse to become a 'fake person'... So, you guys have definitely never seen this timeline before!"

"What—what are you saying?!"

"It's no longer possible for you!"

"you..."

Under the watchful eyes of countless "Jiang Lai" (fans of Jiang Lai), An Lan's heart pounded. "Someone! Put this on me, the [Prince Charming] skin!!!"

"I..."

"He's the Prince Charming!"

"What?!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

A pair of hands reached out from the [Mirror of Corpse Souls] and slowly slipped the human skin that An Lan had previously peeled off and placed in the mirror onto An Lan's body...

【drop! 】

You've donned human skin!

You have left the "Mirror Image" faction and are now... a member of the False Humans! You can wait for the False Humans to arrive and assist them in conquering the world...

Almost the instant the human skin was put on, An Lan heard the notification sound of "[Instance]" in her ear!

The collar around my neck was also vibrating rapidly!

I see! I see!

[Will you become a fake?! Will you wield the power of the Prince Charming?]

You're something else, you pretty boy!

【drop--】

[The goddess and demon's affection for you has increased by 5!]

[Current favorability rating: 70 points!]

An Lan's expression remained neither sad nor happy, as if she hadn't heard these words at all!

On the contrary...

A gasp of surprise came from within the bubble!

"not good!"

"The [Prince Charming]'s ability is!!!"

"The person in the mirror—!!!"

"Buzz—"

No one expected that after putting on the human skin, An Lan suddenly darted into the reflection of the bubble and disappeared inside the bubble!

Almost the instant he disappeared, Jiang Lai, standing inside the bubble, paused in his cursing, then cried out "Mommy!" before also vanishing into the bubble...

"Thump—"

As for the phone that was suspended at the very top and sealed inside the bubble, it was suddenly taken away by a pair of hands that reached out from the bubble's reflection!

"Buzz—"

This change happened far too fast!

So much so that before anyone could react, only three empty bubbles remained on the top floor!

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!!!"

"You...how do you still have that skin?! You—!!!"

A hysterical scream came from inside the bubble. An Lan and Jiang Lai were hidden in the bubble's reflection. An Lan immediately handed her phone to Jiang Lai: "Quick! Rewind the timeline to before we got here!"

"good!"

"good--"

"Beep beep beep—"

I frantically tapped on my phone, and the surrounding screen started to distort.

"No! No!!!"

"Damn Prince Charming!!!"

"Damn lustful body!!!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The three bubbles began to burst; it was clear that the Little Mermaid didn't want to give An Lan any space to hide!

"Boom—"

Just as the bubbles burst, An Lan and Jiang Lai appeared in mid-air, about to fall into the crowd—

"Buzzing—"

The swirling image completely... enveloped everyone...

......

"How so..."

"Should we go see The Little Prince?"

A cool sea breeze blew by. Inside the pumpkin carriage, An Lan glanced at Jiang Lai teasingly. The two were about to crawl into the mirror and head to the beach castle on the other side.

"Buzzing—"

Suddenly!

Jiang Lai's phone vibrated in his pocket.

"Um?"

What great teamwork!

They have such great teamwork!

An Lan immediately removed the collar, and Jiang Lai also opened his phone. The two of them looked at the message on the screen at the same time.

Hello, past me!

[I am you, now in the Evil World - Beach Castle! Do not come here! Do not come here! Most of the sirens here will copy your abilities, then they will travel back in time, organize all the sirens, and ambush you in the castle...]

Anlan seemed to have used her ability to communicate with the outside world to find a way to get my phone back...

The castle was teeming with sirens, and on the castle rooftop, it seemed the Little Prince was appearing...

Oh, and there's the Little Mermaid's song and the bubbles...

It's too late! Come on...

【...】

The information that came in this time was very disorganized!

He spoke in a jumbled mess, as if he were speaking in some kind of crisis.

An Lan and Jiang Lai watched for a while before whispering amongst themselves.

"so..."

"The gist of the future is... we'll enter the castle and be ambushed by a group of sirens? Many of them have acquired my abilities! Then, they'll go back to the past and organize all the sirens to ambush us inside the castle..."

"If all the sirens can replicate my abilities, then... wouldn't that mean hundreds of 'connections to the past'?"

"In that case, what are we going to do..."

"Won't the siren returning from the future see through everything?"

"..."

Jiang Lai scratched his head, his face filled with fear!

He knew his own abilities better than anyone!

If a few hundred people could be contacted...

TMD!

How exactly did An Lan escape?

"Tsk..."

"Looks like I really did make the right choice with this bizarre prop..."

"Without that one and only instance of off-field assistance, without distorting the cause and effect... we would have already failed!"

An Lan frowned, and could roughly figure out how she had escaped.

The only possibility!

There's only Long Ao's "reversing cause and effect," that absurd "omniscient and omnipotent deduction."

"so..."

"What do we do now?"

"Since they've discovered us this time..."

"So, they'll be wary of you from now on, right?"

Jiang Lai broke An Lan's reverie. An Lan nodded, her deep gaze suddenly fixed on the azure sea...
