Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

"First of all, your father... is a fake."

Himeko.exe is not responding.

"What did you say?"

Danheng decided to confess and stated directly, "He said that your fake father mistook him for God during the phone call, and he was afraid of being attacked by a certain religion, so he killed your fake father."

"Your real father is in the conference room on the second floor of the Hui Shi Academy."

Himeko fell into deep thought. What did it mean that her father was fake? And then her real father was in the conference room on the second floor of the Eishi Academy?

Did he mention when my father was switched?

Himeko's question was clearly too advanced for Dan Heng.

“I don’t know. What I just said is basically his exact words. The only difference is that I’ve forgotten the name of the religion he mentioned. Or rather, I can’t say I’ve forgotten it; it’s just that I can’t seem to remember the name at all.”

Dan Heng was also puzzled. With his memory, there was no way he couldn't remember those two words. But he just couldn't recall them.

"I need to verify... if my father was a fake before, then who became my father?"

Himeko stepped off the train, ready to search for the answer.

Fish and chips section —

"Senior brother?"

"Junior brother?"

"What a coincidence..." *2

Qiong successfully arrived at the fish-exploding zone, but the first human opponent he encountered after entering this universe was Yan Qing.

"Hiss... This place isn't right, is it?"

At this moment, Yanqing's face was covered in blood, and his whole body was covered in black, dried blood, which was obviously not his.

"Junior brother, did you just arrive? It's a little dangerous here, but it should be considered good for us. Yesterday, the Alliance issued a warning that all the Alliance's generals lost the power of the Imperial Bow in an instant."

"Fortunately, the power of Luofu has not disappeared."

Qiong: ?

"Didn't my senior master say that Wei Ling is long gone?"

"Yes, that's the old one. I'm talking about the new one. And... that Weiling is right in front of you now."

"Didn't you see it?"

Yanqing pointed helplessly at himself. He had just been about to go to sleep last night when he discovered a strange box in front of him.

The box read, "Sufficient energy detected. Ascend to the fish-blasting zone?"

The two options below are "No" and "No". At the very bottom, there is a line of small print that says "If you do not select anything after 30 seconds, you will agree by default".

So he clicked it out of curiosity.

Then....

"I am Wei Ling. Last night, a selection box suddenly appeared in front of me, asking if I wanted to ascend to a higher level of the Fishing Zone. I decided to test the waters and came here."

"As a result... this place is teeming with monstrous creatures and countless ancient beasts. I've been fighting since last night, and I still haven't found a way back."

"I didn't expect my junior brother to be like this... Sigh, ascension is a trap."

At this point, Yanqing wore an expression as if her mother had died.

"Senior brother, didn't you know? The combat power of those who can enter this area all surpasses that of the Doomsday Beasts. I searched for a long time yesterday but couldn't figure out how to do it. In my frustration, I accidentally smashed the table. Suddenly, a selection box appeared in front of me, so here I am."

"As for how to exit... it doesn't seem to say. I think there should be an anti-addiction system, right? Or will you be kicked out if you spam fish to a certain extent?"

"But, senior brother, are you alive or dead now? Why do you call yourself Weiling?"

Upon hearing this question, Yanqing was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "I am alive, but because of the former general, I am currently both a general and a Weiling."

Qiong looked at Yanqing's blood-stained body and said, "I see. So... all the fish here have been fried up?"

Yan Qing shook his head. He had spent the whole night killing and had plowed up the entire star field. "I don't know. There are quite a few ancient beasts and insects here, and occasionally there are also abundant monstrous creatures."

"Hey..."

Yanqing sighed, until that familiar frame reappeared before his eyes.

"You haven't entered combat for three hours. Do you want to end the fishing? If you don't choose in 30 seconds, you will be considered to have automatically forfeited."

Yanqing's eyes widened immediately. "Yes!"

Qiong: ?

"What's wrong? What is it?"

"That's all for now, junior brother. See you later. You can leave as long as you don't fight for three hours!"

Yan Qing disappeared from Qiong's sight. Qiong chuckled, "Three hours without fighting? I've already entered this place, and I'm not going to fight for three hours? What was I even doing here?"

Hui Shi Academy — Second Floor Conference Room

"Hey kid, remember to call when you come in..."

"dad?"

Ryusuke stared in disbelief at Himeko before him, and for a moment, he vaguely recalled his rebirth yesterday.

Thirty years ago, the murderer with the dice on his head refused to answer his dying question.

Yesterday, when he opened his eyes, he was in the conference room of Hui Shi Academy. He wandered around the school for a long time, even though the school was empty.

"It seems so..." He could almost sense who the person in front of him was, but he was afraid of the so-called truth.

The person in front of him looked a lot like his deceased wife, but it couldn't be; based on his observations of the school yesterday, it was clear that this place was 30 years in the future.

There is only one possibility for the red-haired woman in front of us.

This is his daughter, a daughter who grew up without him.

He needs time to accept the world 30 years from now.

"I'm sorry, ma'am... I'm not giving interviews right now."

"You...don't recognize me? I see sadness in your eyes. If you are the real father...when did that so-called fake father take your place?"

Upon hearing this, Ryusuke silently got up, locked the door, and leaned against the doorknob, bursting into tears.

"Aaaaaah—!"

The words "fake father" completely shattered his feigned composure. That damned dice man not only killed him but also stole his daughter's childhood from him.

He was an incompetent husband and an even more incompetent father.

He couldn't save his wife, and he couldn't even protect his daughter's childhood.

Epilogue 1 (Bonus Chapter)

"He's gone? So suddenly? When did this happen?"

“Yesterday. Just yesterday. He said... he ran away.”

Danheng sat on the sofa, his hands supporting his forehead.

"Danheng, why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

"I'm just a little...maybe I'm not used to saying goodbye."

March 7th looked indignant, "What the hell? Getting on the bus was sudden, and leaving was sudden too."

"Given his past habits, did he understand the meaning of 'pioneering'? After all, he's the kind of person who likes to follow one path, but when he reaches the end of it, he'll switch to another."

"Don't be upset, Danheng. At least he learned the meaning of pioneering here, right?"

"But, have Qiong and Xing left too? I don't think I saw them."

"No, Qiong seems to be looking for a way to enter the fish-frying area. As for Xing... I saw her go out this morning."

"Ding--"

"Danheng, your phone seems to be ringing."

"Ding--"

"Mine went off too?"

March 7th took out his phone and scrolled through it. "Starry Sky Peace Company Talent Incentive Department? Dear March 7th Supervisor... Huh? What supervisor? Hey, why is there a new app on my phone? What is Starry Sky Peace Company?"

Dan Heng felt a sense of foreboding. He took out his constantly vibrating phone, and the words "Technology R&D Department" were prominently displayed on the notification bar.

On March 7th, looking at Dan Heng's frozen expression, she craned her neck and saw only four words in the dense text messages: "Supervisor Dan Heng".

"Danheng, you have one too? Respected Manager Danheng... this isn't some kind of scam text message, is it?"

After reading the message, Dan Heng didn't find any information about money transfers, account details, or order boosting. "This message doesn't contain any account details. It could be real, or it could be a prank."

Pigeon River Ward —

Xing, wearing sunglasses and a hood, walked along the Pigeon River with one hand in her pocket.

The illusory moon in the sky has long since disappeared, and the riverbank has become a refuge for fools.

With the moon gone from the sky, the underwater moon and the tavern also disappeared.

She walked absentmindedly and bumped into Fei Ying, who was also absentminded.

"A sword immortal...? Is it a pursuit?"

Fei Ying was under immense pressure. She could vaguely recall that her willpower had been drained by some unrecognizable being, and whenever she thought of that person, her mind would inexplicably go blank.

She looked at Xing. She clearly remembered that this woman was like a mad dog. After she broke through the waves with her sword, she immediately launched a powerful attack that dealt massive damage.

Just give her the Resurrection Points.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Strolling through Pigeon River in the early morning, it is quiet and silent, except for Fools.
