The woman's voice said, "I haven't been able to contact you these past few days. You've been avoiding me, haven't you, Atu!"

Upon hearing the name 'A-Tu', Yu was even more surprised.

"You... call me Atu?"

"Don't you dislike it when people call you 'Lin Yu'?"

Yu was filled with mixed feelings; he really didn't know how to respond next.

The girl continued, "I know the car accident must have been a huge blow to you, but running away from society like this isn't a solution. We all have to face it eventually..."

So it really was a car accident?

Yu gripped her phone tightly.

"What does this have to do with you?"

The girl on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before saying something that left Yu speechless: "You, you know perfectly well, yet you still say it. So, you really hate my father, you hate our whole family, right? Yes, my father was drunk that day and didn't get away from you in time, causing you to lose your legs. I, at first, did take care of you that way to atone for my father's sins, but, but, I really, really, sob sob sob..."

By the end, the girl was sobbing uncontrollably, and the call ended.

She... is the perpetrator's daughter?

It seems she developed romantic feelings for me, the person Obito transformed into, but then Obito harbored resentment, refusing to accept her care and even avoiding her? How melodramatic! Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!

However... perhaps we can learn something about Obito through this girl.

Yu wanted to call back, but discovered that... the phone had a screen saver password!

The more reclusive a person is, the more they love to engage in these kinds of tricks!

What password would Obito set?

Yu closed his eyes and put himself in Obito's shoes, then tried typing in a string of numbers, and the screensaver turned on.

"As expected... it's Lin's birthday."

On his phone, there were only a few pre-installed apps. He even kept his phone on a table far away from his bed while sleeping, which shows that... Obito really had no interest in his phone.

There are only a handful of contacts on my phone.

False father.

False mother.

False Lin.

False self.

Real landlord.

The Second Dimensional Spirit Summoning Association's Flower Roll [Cannot be reached].

Go through the call logs.

Contact with the landlord was regular and punctual. The last time he contacted his parents was six months ago, and the call was extremely short. His contact with the girl earlier was just one-sided missed calls. All of this made sense. But what puzzled Yu the most was that the so-called "Hanamaki from the Anime and Manga Summoning Association" kept trying to call him, even though he had clearly marked him as unreachable. It was as if he was desperate and clinging to a last straw.

Forget it, let's take a step by step!

Just as Yu was about to call the girl, a message popped up on WeChat.

Obito's WeChat name is 'A Lonely Soul in a Foreign Land'.

False Lin.

Atu, I know you don't want to see me right now, but I really want to see you one more time. That night, you said you tried to open your heart to me, but you couldn't. Do you know how happy I was? At least to you, I'm not someone you can do without. Your eyes tell me that you must have a past that no one knows about.

I know you like quiet places, so I specially chose a spot. I'll wait for you, I'll keep waiting for you!

Immediately afterwards, a location was sent over.

"..." Yu gripped her phone tightly.

If... there was ever someone who treated me like that, I would gladly exchange it for losing both my legs. How ironic that we found a bond in each other's once desperate worlds.

Looking at the photo of Lin Yu pasted on the wall, pierced with a knife!

"However... you seem to be blinded by hatred, or perhaps your obsession with Lin is too deep."

In short, now that I'm back, I will face all of this!

Yu, leaning on her cane, stepped out of her house. The sunlight was blinding, and cars were streaming by. Yu walked listlessly across the street, the incessant honking of car horns filling the air...

Chapter 1182 Life and Death Shattered by Illusion, Only the Person Knows the True Feelings

In a quiet little teahouse in Dongshan City, Yu and Obito's phone contacts showed that the fake Rin was face to face. Unlike the passionate and unrestrained impression she had during their phone call, the girl was clean-looking, quiet, and had a ponytail.

That being said, Yu ultimately has no friends in real life. His invincible aura in the two-dimensional world did not carry over into the three-dimensional world. Facing a stranger who exudes warmth, he felt an indescribable nervousness.

However, he was still good at keeping his emotions hidden. Even when he was extremely nervous, he would lower his head and drink water expressionlessly. In the girl's preconceived notions, this was no different from being aloof.

The girl broke the ice first: "I'm so glad you came. No matter what others say about you, in my eyes you are a kind, gentle, and considerate person."

Yu hadn't forgotten that he had kept the appointment to learn about Obito's life in reality through the girl in front of him.

Setting down her teacup, Yu composed herself and said meaningfully, "How much do you really know about me..."

The girl's expression was complicated, thinking to herself: Are you testing me, or are you just being stubborn with me?

She showed great patience and tolerance: "If I were to talk about how well I know you, it would take me a whole day and night to finish."

Yu said calmly, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

After a moment of hesitation, the girl said, "Your father, Lin Haiyuan, is the general manager of the Dongshan Lin Group, and your mother, Yuan Meng, is a famous actress at the Dongshan Song and Dance Theater. Both of them are workaholics who are obsessed with their careers and have little time to take care of their families, but they are extremely demanding of their children. Therefore, your lack of outstanding performance since childhood has greatly disappointed them."

"It's hard for two strong-willed people like this to maintain their marriage. When you were in junior high school, they divorced and each started new families. You became the biggest victim of that family."

"It was around this time that you became addicted to games and anime."

Yu: "It's true that I'm addicted to anime, but I don't play games."

The girl with the ponytail smiled and said, "In a girl's eyes, games and anime are the same thing, so don't worry about these details."

Yu lowered her head and took a sip of water: "Go on."

The girl with the ponytail's eyes darkened: "You were bullied a lot at school. Those bad kids hit you, cursed you, and gave you all sorts of nasty nicknames. You just accepted it all, and they only got worse. Everyone thought you were a coward. But the real reason you didn't fight back was because... you no longer cared about anything in reality. You couldn't see any hope in life. You have depression."

Yu never told anyone about this.

Yu Ningmou: "How did you know that?"

The woman with the ponytail smiled faintly: "When you're interested in someone, there are naturally a million ways to get to know them."

alright, you win.

The ponytail said, "But suddenly one day, you were like a different person. You started talking nonsense, saying that you came from another world. When I learned about this later, in order to understand you more fully, I specifically watched that anime called 'Naruto'."

Yu asked in surprise, "You've finished watching Naruto?"

The girl with the ponytail nodded: "Yes, 711 volumes of the manga, 720 episodes of the anime, including that still unfinished spin-off with terrible reviews..."

Yu: "That's really impressive."

A girl who confuses anime and games actually went to great lengths to learn about a boy's past by binge-watching Naruto, an anime whose worldview is clearly biased towards male preferences!

"After reading it, I roughly understand your thought process in saying that you are Obito Uchiha. You probably felt that your inner world overlapped with Obito's experiences, which created a strong empathy, to the point that you blurred the line between reality and fantasy. Hmm... it's similar to Izanagi!"

Wow, you're amazing...

Although the guess was wrong, this has already exceeded the limits of someone with a god's-eye view! After all, the kind of melodramatic plot of soul transmigration only happens in novels. Who would have thought that it would actually happen, and right before our eyes!

Ponytail: "Perhaps it was Obito who showed you courage and hope, and you began to fight back against those who bullied you. You practiced throwing shurikens, right? Like how ninjas throw kunai."

Indeed, in this world without chakra, the only skill that ninjas still have a place in is probably 'shurikenjutsu'. However, the prerequisite for accurate shuriken is 'wrist strength'. I wonder if Yu's hand speed of eighteen years of single life is enough.

Ponytail: "Your fighting skills are very strong; it's the result of you going to the gym and lifting weights like crazy."

Is that so? No wonder, this body feels stronger than before.

The girl with the ponytail's expression darkened: "Your resistance angered the leader of those bad kids. In the subsequent school violence, they gathered a group of thugs to attack you. In your resistance, you gouged out one of the bad kids' leader's eyes..."

"The other party's family also has connections. Things escalated, and you were arrested. But your behavior was strange, and after evaluation, you were diagnosed with schizophrenia..."

So that's how it is.

"In the mental hospital, you lived a life that was neither human nor ghost for several years. You learned to stop talking nonsense. You thought that only in this way could you be released and reintegrate into society. But the mental hospital is like that. No matter what you do, you will be treated as mentally ill. Moreover, the bad kid's family is the reason why you are in the mental hospital."

"Finally, you realized there was no end in sight, so you ran away. And then, on your escape, I, I..."

The girl bit her lip and asked, "Do you still need to tell me what happened after that?"

Yu nodded.

The girl mustered her courage and said, "You were hit by my father's car. My father was criminally detained for suspected drunk driving. When I heard about this, I came to the hospital to see you, hoping to atone for my sins. I was prepared to be scolded and beaten by you and your parents."

"But the reality was far beyond my expectations."

"Your parents never came back after paying the initial hospital bills. The cold look in their eyes when they looked at you was unbelievable; it was hard to believe that parents should act like that. And you, having lost both legs, showed no excitement or sadness in the face of this life-altering event. At first, I thought you were just experiencing a sudden tragedy and were not yet fully aware of it, and that you would eventually break down. But you really didn't care... That's when my curiosity about you began. I started using every means possible to learn about your past..."

Yu said with a complicated expression, "That only proves that I'm a cold-blooded person without feelings, right?"

"No, you're not..."

The girl with the ponytail shook her head and revealed a fact that surprised Yu: "A year ago, there was a fire in Dongshan City. An unnamed firefighter rescued an elderly woman with mobility issues and then quietly left the scene."

The girl with the ponytail stared intently at Yu's face and slowly said, "The eyewitness only saw the boy's face, which was almost disfigured by rubble. That person... was it you?"

Chapter 1183 Life and Death Break Through Illusions, What is Love and Hate?

Yu stroked the scars on his face, the pain long since gone, his heart filled with mixed emotions: "So, he got these scars to save someone, not because he hated the face of the person who took his life, and deliberately disfigured himself..."

Obito fell into darkness because he lost love, but the love in his heart never disappeared. Obito's act of saving people gave Yu hope. Perhaps, Obito really has hope and can fall in love with this world!

On another note, my soul returned to reality because of the tribulation, but where did Obito's soul go? Did it also return to the world of Naruto?

Or……

"Heh..." Suddenly, a cold laugh echoed in Yu's mind without warning!

Yu was startled and hurriedly looked around.

Just as the girl with the ponytail was about to ask, "How's it going? I think I understand you pretty well," she suddenly noticed that Yu's face was pale and uncertain, with large beads of sweat constantly seeping out!

She asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
