Behind that tightly closed grand door, the sounds of clashing and fighting continued to echo.
Listening to it made Yuan Luoyi panic, she couldn't let her brother get hurt anymore!
She ran out, intending to find weapons, sticks, glass bottles, even stones - anything would do.
If she died, she would just return to her original world, she had to go back to help.
"Boom!"
Amid the intense explosion, the ground suddenly started shaking, the rushing heat wave knocked Yuan Luoyi over, and she rolled a couple of times on the ground. Enduring the pain, she crawled up and saw flames raging towards the sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In a series of explosions, glass shattered, dust rose, and the building belonging to the Yuan family began to collapse.
Brother Yuan Ao was still inside!
Debris kept falling near Yuan Luoyi, and a huge piece of reinforced concrete was hurtling towards her, getting closer and faster, leaving no way to dodge...
"Thud!"
Everything went dark.
Inside the Yuan residence, Yuan Luoyi woke up with a start, gasping for air like someone who had nearly drowned returning to land.
She was wearing a white dress, barefoot, sitting on the carpet.
Her head hurt a little, probably from suddenly Time Traveling back and passing out, hitting her head on the floor.
Rubbing the sore spot, she felt her hair was still a bit damp, this Time Travel session must have been interrupted early, not much time had passed.
Looking out the window, it was pitch black outside, the middle of the night.
Yuan Luoyi recalled what had just happened, the assassin must have triggered the explosion in an attempt to kill them both...
But that didn't make sense!
Brother wouldn't have died there!
In that death photo, brother only had blood stains on his chest, he was shot dead by the real killer! Not killed in an explosion!
Calm down, think carefully, straighten out the thoughts...
Brother might have escaped before the explosion, he's strong, he definitely wouldn't lose to that assassin!
Next Time Travel, they would definitely meet again.
Oh right, Time Travel...
More and more doubts surfaced, Yuan Luoyi couldn't figure out what this Time Travel ability was, was that other world really the future?
[Ding! System prompt: Host level requirement met, Time Travel function can be decrypted]
Yuan Luoyi hastily asked: "System, what exactly is Time Travel?"
[Time Travel, tracing back to the source, returning to the previous world line]
Yuan Luoyi was stunned: "Previous world line..."
[According to the time paradox, if a time traveler goes back and kills their own father, then they would never have been born, so they couldn't have killed their father, this is a self-contradiction]
[Therefore, under the force of temporal causality, no matter how many times one travels back, it is impossible to affect the past of the original world line, nor can the future of the original world line be changed]
[Only by causing the world line to split and create a new world line, can there be an entirely new future]
[And to create a split, the host must go back 1800 years, be reborn 99 times, the small ripples accumulating into a wave that triggers a qualitative change, giving birth to a new world line]
[After Time Traveling, temporal causality will automatically remove the host's influence on the original world line, everyone will walk their destined path]
[If the influence caused by the host cannot be automatically removed, it will lead to the basic causalities of the two world lines becoming chaotic, eventually resulting in the annihilation of all world lines]
[Therefore, the system will forcibly stop the host from any excessive behavior that could cause such an outcome]
Yuan Luoyi's mind was blown, her heart pounding.
So when she tried to tell brother Yuan Ao that Ye Min was the real lady of the house, she would pass out!
This was the new world line, while Time Traveling took her to the original world line where her past life unfolded!
That painful, scarred Yuan Ao was her original brother!
Then, Yuan Luoyi became very sad, she couldn't change his destiny...
Knowing the true nature of the Time Travel ability, Yuan Luoyi had even more questions in her mind.
"What exactly is the Wish ability?"
[Host level too low, unauthorized to decrypt this information]
"What is Influence?"
[Host level too low, unauthorized to decrypt this information]
"Who is the real killer?"
[Host level too low, unauthorized to decrypt this information]
This broken system wouldn't answer any of the key questions!
Yuan Luoyi looked at the system stats in her mind and noticed a new option had appeared.
"What is this new Clue function?"
[Ding! Host level requirement met, Clue function can be decrypted]
[The Clue function provides the host with key clues to solve the case]
Yuan Luoyi asked urgently: "How do I activate it?"
[When Influence reaches 270, a key clue about the explosion case will be provided]
Yuan Luoyi's previously dejected mood perked up a little, if she succeeded, that terrible disaster wouldn't happen in this world! Following the lead, she might even find the real killer!
"Knock knock!"
The sudden knocking at the door startled Yuan Luoyi, and she quickly got up from the floor.
"Who is it?"
The voice outside answered: "It's me, can I come in?"
Ah... it was brother Yuan Ao's voice.
Hearing her brother's voice at this moment, Yuan Luoyi felt her eyes redden involuntarily, she adjusted her emotions and said: "You can come in."
The door opened, and brother Yuan Ao walked in, well-dressed, with a cold face but without any shadows or madness in his eyes.
He noticed Yuan Luoyi's messy, damp hair and looked concerned as he walked over and touched it.
"Did you just take a shower? Why didn't you dry your hair? You'll catch a cold like this."
"I forgot."
"Ah, you..."
Yuan Ao found a dry towel and placed it on Yuan Luoyi's head, gently patting it dry, just as tender as the brother from that other world.
Yuan Luoyi asked: "Why did you come looking for me at this hour, brother?"
Yuan Ao said: "I don't know, I just got back from work and suddenly wanted to see you. I've been traveling for business a lot recently, we haven't really talked much. How's school going? Has anyone been bullying you?"
Yuan Luoyi said: "No, it's me bullying others."
Yuan Ao chuckled lightly: "That's good then."
Choking back tears, Yuan Luoyi leaned forward and hugged Yuan Ao, burying her face in his clothes.
Yuan Ao was a little surprised, patting Yuan Luoyi's back gently: "What's wrong? Did someone upset you?"
"No, I just missed you."
"You can come to the office anytime if you want to see me."
"Aren't you worried I'll show up unannounced at the office and discover your unspeakable secrets?"
"Haha, even if you do find out, it's no problem, you've always been a gentle child, you'll understand for sure."
