Doomsday Club

What pure white flower?

Whether now or twenty years from now.

They're clearly all cunning little foxes!

Xu Nuo stood on the road, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

For the first time, he felt the drawback of not being able to restart the real timeline.

He has always used information asymmetry to achieve his various goals, but this is the first time he has been "tricked" by someone else using information asymmetry.

He carefully recalled all his actions that night.

Fortunately, he only took Lin Xiaoxiao home and did not take any further action.

Thanks for the surveillance...

Even if Lin Xiaoxiao reports it to the police afterward, at most she can only say that she stalked him.

As long as the core objective is not exposed, there is still a possibility of salvage.

It's still so frustrating!

Xu Nuo was starting to lose her temper.

He thought the operation was going smoothly, but he never expected that even his underwear would be exposed.

He had prepared for Lin's father to discover him long before he took action, after all, this was the real world, and he couldn't keep starting over until he could perform the action perfectly like he would twenty years later.

But he never expected that he would fall into Lin Xiaoxiao's hands before he even met Lin's father.

They're such liars!

If I hadn't called Mingyue just now, I probably would still be in the dark.

"As expected of the teammate I chose." Xu Nuo sighed, even sounding a little smug.

I can only say that I'm still used to being reckless in the apocalyptic timeline, so much so that I didn't change my mindset for my first action in the real timeline.

I was too eager to succeed, which is why I couldn't wait to explore Lin's father's basement before I had gathered enough information.

Now we can only try to salvage the situation.

Are you asleep?

"Not yet, Brother Xu Nuo."

"Waiting for me?"

"..."

Lin Xiaoxiao clearly didn't expect Xu Nuo to find out so quickly.

My fingers, gripping the phone, turned pale with nervousness.

To be fair, Lin Xiaoxiao had a very good impression of Xu Nuo.

Whether it's because I like his work or because I like him as a person.

But what happened today...

As a wealthy heiress, Lin Xiaoxiao was used to all kinds of flattery and was accustomed to being surrounded by people with all sorts of ulterior motives.

But she just didn't want that person to be Xu Nuo—neither for appreciating his work nor for the feeling she had when they spent time together in private.

Just as she was lost in thought, the phone rang.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't replied for a while, Xu Nuo immediately made a phone call.

You can't type at this time.

Because typing lacks intonation, many words conveyed through text can be misinterpreted as originally intended.

This is often the reason why couples argue.

We get along fine when chatting, but we easily start arguing when typing.

The main reason is that the text lacks tone.

At a time like this, how could Xu Nuo possibly make such a minor mistake?

At this point, there is only one solution.

That is to firmly bind Lin Xiaoxiao from the real world to their own team.

……

"You must be wondering how I know this address."

"All I can say is that everything we said on the day we met was true, and I didn't meet you for research for my novel."

He had already told Lin Xiaoxiao about dreams and time travel last time.

However, he simply laughed it off when Lin Xiaoxiao misunderstood him that time.

After all, his goal last time was Lin Xiaoxiao twenty years in the future, as seen in his dream.

But things have come to this point, and there's no way to avoid a confrontation.

"I know you'll definitely have doubts, but I can vouch for what I'm saying."

Xu Nuo carefully spoke, "You can ask me a question that I absolutely cannot answer. I'll ask you, twenty years from now, for the answer, and I'll tell you first thing tomorrow morning."

Verifying all of this is actually quite simple.

After all, he wasn't lying; he really could time travel, and he and Lin Xiaoxiao from twenty years in the future trusted each other and got along well.

If Lin Xiaoxiao raises a question now, he will ask her in the future for the answer tonight.

"..."

Lin Xiaoxiao remained silent on the phone.

In the villa.

She was lying on the bed with a blank expression, exhausted from using her brain too much.

There's just too much information.

What does it mean that your dreams are all real, that the world is about to end, and that you and Xu Nuo will save the world in the future?

What does it mean that you are a time traveler?

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiao finally sorted out her thoughts.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then you should ask her what my first love's name was."

……

……

……

"What first love?"

On the wasteland.

Lin Xiaoxiao stared blankly at Xu Nuo in front of her and blurted out, "I've never been in a relationship before!"

"Are you deliberately teasing me?"

Looking at the bristling old maid in front of him, Xu Nuo sighed helplessly.

This time I'm truly convinced.

Even this question is a trap.

"Isn't this the problem you created for me!"

Xu Nuo was also a little angry and yelled back.

"Oh, I think so."

Lin Xiaoxiao coughed awkwardly, her voice immediately lowering.

Even Lin Xiaoxiao herself was speechless about what happened during the day.

There's really no other way.

Is there anything wrong with making this promise? There's really nothing wrong with it.

We seized all the opportunities we could and exercised caution where necessary.

Upon seeing the camera, all subsequent actions were cancelled to prevent the plan from being exposed and discovered by the enemy.

Despite all the planning, I never expected that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't live here at all twenty years ago.

I didn't know that wealthy families have nannies who serve them around the clock.

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.

Fortunately, everything can still be salvaged, otherwise it would have truly been a case of "dying before even starting the mission."

"Oh, right."

Xu Nuo seemed to remember something, turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao and asked, "You even dreamed about our future actions back then, so why were you still completely unprepared for the apocalypse?"

When Lin Xiaoxiao first mentioned dreaming about him, he thought it was just a dream caused by occasional time distortion.

But when we met today, she said she had a dream about it, which means she really can dream about the future.

But then a problem arose.

If Lin Xiaoxiao already knew about the apocalypse through her dreams, even if she didn't take it seriously, she should have been prepared when the apocalypse actually arrived.

"What kind of dream?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in return, completely unaware of what Xu Nuo was talking about.

"Twenty years ago, didn't you dream of what's happening to us now?"

"Of course not, how could I possibly dream about that..." Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly widened her eyes: "You mean, the person you're in contact with right now is dreaming about things after the apocalypse?!"

"Um……"

Xu Nuo nodded, her mind a bit of a mess.

He needs to pay even more attention to Lin Xiaoxiao in the real timeline.

The past is the past; the future is yet to come.

In fact, each time he travels through time, it is a possible future in a different timeline.

With his death in that timeline, that future collapsed and was destroyed.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiao's dream is essentially the last lingering image projected from that destroyed timeline.

In the form of...dreams.

According to the [Time Rules].

Her memories need to be based on a linear timeline of her personal experiences that have "collapsed" into reality.

The future fragments that Lin Xiaoxiao "dreamed" in the past were information received by "her" in 2026 in a superposition of timelines. This information was not directly written into "her" linear memory in 2046.

The dream was not Lin Xiaoxiao's personal experience in the apocalyptic timeline, but a projection that appeared after the destruction of this timeline.

Just like now, the timeline has not been destroyed, the dream projection has not started, so Lin Xiaoxiao in front of her naturally has no memory of things that have not yet happened.
