Doomsday Club

She was wearing a light brown trench coat, the cuffs slightly open, revealing a pure white turtleneck sweater and light blue straight-leg jeans underneath.

The proportions are harmonious, and the waistline is very high.

Her already long legs became even more eye-catching after wearing jeans.

Lin Xiaoxiao reached up and tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear. Her gaze swept around the restaurant, and she soon spotted Wu Tian waving at her.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave a beautiful smile.

"Sorry I'm late." Lin Xiaoxiao walked towards them with a "tap tap" sound.

Her voice was gentle, and her tone was pleasant.

She looked like a female protagonist who had stepped out of an urban novel. The moment she walked into the store, countless eyes naturally gathered around her.

Just ...

That's so strange!

The sense of disconnect was so intense that Xu Nuo almost cried it out.

It is definitely the same person.

Twenty years later, Lin Xiaoxiao, with a scar on her face, always says "Mom."

The difference between her and the gentle beauty in front of him was so great that they seemed like two completely different people.

This inexplicable sense of disconnect is even stronger when promises are made first.

"It's alright, we just arrived not long ago."

Wu Tian gestured for Lin Xiaoxiao to sit down, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that his good brother had been staring at the girl's sister in a daze ever since he entered the room.

"What are you thinking about?" He quickly nudged Xu Nuo with his elbow: "Xiao Xiao is greeting us."

"Oh, sorry." Xu Nuo snapped out of her daze.

Realizing just how abstract his performance had been, he stood up, shook hands with Lin Xiaoxiao, and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Xu Nuo."

The recent high-intensity hiking trips have left him mentally exhausted.

"We're doomed."

"An inauspicious start."

He secretly complained to himself.

Lin Xiaoxiao's importance is self-evident.

Twenty years later, he will be the best ally to capture the Doomsday Lord, and twenty years ago, he was also a key clue related to the truth of the apocalypse.

But it seems I've already ruined the first impression since we just met.

He turned to Wu Tian for help, then promised to look for outside assistance.

"Haha, our Xiaoxiao is so beautiful, even my buddies are mesmerized." Wu Tian gave Xu Nuo a reassuring look.

"We're just meeting today to make friends and get to know each other."

He turned to Xu Nuo and said, "Don't be too nervous."

"Oh, this is my problem." Xu Nuo readily agreed: "When I saw Xiao Xiao come in, I thought she was a star from some film crew. I was completely stunned when she walked over."

"Haha, Brother Xu, what you're saying is really exaggerated."

There was no intention of blaming; they naturally joined the conversation.

The meal was a success, with both host and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Politely declining Wu Tian's invitation to go out for a walk, Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the Maybach by the roadside with a somewhat dejected expression.

"understand."

Xu Nuo nodded and made an excuse to get Lin Xiaoxiao into the car.

Before leaving, I "casually" glanced at the driver's seat.

—Damn it, privacy screen protectors!

……

After parting ways with Lin Xiaoxiao, Xu Nuo also declined Wu Tian's invitation to continue to the second round.

"Hey Xu! You're really something!"

"Prioritizing romance over friendship!"

"Dude, you finally got a day off, and you just went home like this?"

And so, with no qualms about it, I went home amidst my good friend's resentful gaze.

Things are different now than before.

Since learning that the "enemy" might be nearby, Xu Nuo's pressure has increased dramatically.

This is the real world; if you die, you're really dead.

He must proceed with caution before investigating and eliminating the company.

He couldn't even be sure what role Wu Tian, ​​who also worked at that mysterious company, played in this world-destroying plan.

Xu Nuo rubbed her face vigorously, feeling that she was being a little too suspicious.

For some inexplicable reason, I felt like I was surrounded by werewolves.

The only person I could trust was Lin Xiaoxiao, whom I had only met once today.

"The Destroyer of Worlds..."

As if hallucinating, he heard the Doomsday Lord's deep voice again.

In a daze, he even gradually overlapped with Wu Tian.

But how could that be! Wu Tian would never kill him!

Whether now or twenty years from now!

Even if he were to participate in the destruction of the world, he would never kill himself.

That's the only thing he absolutely believes.

"Splash..."

Hot water sprayed from the showerhead.

Xu Nuo stood there with her eyes closed, reviewing her interactions with Lin Xiaoxiao that day.

Although her personality is vastly different from what it is twenty years later, she is essentially just an ordinary girl with no airs.

He doesn't show any airs of a rich kid at all; in fact, he gives off a kind of adorable, goofy vibe.

The only thing that bothered him was the car that picked her up.

Who could be sitting in the car? The driver? Or perhaps her father was there too?

It's understandable that I'd be worried about my precious daughter going on her first date with a strange man and would come along to pick her up and drop her off.

"Damn privacy screen protectors!"

I lay in bed after taking a shower.

Xu Nuo even began to look forward to this time travel.

I have already met Lin Xiaoxiao in the real timeline.

Based on his guess about the rules of time, Lin Xiaoxiao should recognize him twenty years from now.

Immersion in consciousness.

The numbers on the watch have reset to zero.

……

"Thanks."

As they worked together to take down the last doomsday rat, Lin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly as she looked at Xu Nuo: "We seem to have met before?"

She was somewhat uncertain.

This memory is from so long ago.

About twenty years ago?

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Nuo in front of her with curiosity, her expression somewhat confused.

Twenty years have passed, how could the person in front of me not have changed at all?

"That's right! We met twenty years ago!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's puzzled expression, Xu Nuo said with a sigh of relief, "I am Xu Nuo."

Although I still felt a little disappointed, judging from the other person's reaction, their impression of me was limited to that of an ordinary stranger they had only met once.

He didn't even manage to make any friends.

Is there anything more disheartening than going on a blind date with a beautiful woman and being treated like a complete stranger?

That's enough.

At least this time, Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction proved that her guess about the [rules of time] was correct.

Only when you, this "time bug," personally experience time will it become the "real future."

"A promise?"

Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be recalling the name, and soon her eyes lit up.

She looked at the familiar figure before her and exclaimed in surprise, "You're still alive?!"

Xu Nuo: "..."

I don't know why, but it sounds weird.

They followed the other person back to the basement.

There was no catching up, since we had just met.

He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in front of him and asked eagerly:

"Where's Wu Tian? Where did he go? Is he dead or alive?"
