Chapter 915

Oh? How exactly did this woman manage it? The simulated universe is made of virtual data; unless she could hack into the simulated universe…… but how could she possibly bypass Luo Si Gu Mu and Stephen?

Yi Xuan lowered her gaze; this was the first time she felt such a strange sensation…… as if a pair of eyes in some higher dimension were fixed on them, and whenever they tried to touch a certain 'secret,' Bolka Kakamu's scalpel would unhesitatingly slash at their necks.

Hei Ta and Xing, who were probing the past's secrets, have already been sought out by Bolka Kakamu; what about those who observed all this through the heavenly curtain? Can the disciples of Yun Gui Shan remain uninvolved?

Thinking of this, a chill instantly spread from Yi Xuan's heart.

"Master...?" Ling beside her also noticed Yi Xuan's off complexion and softly asked.

"No… nothing." Yi Xuan gently shook her head, turning her gaze toward the window. At that moment, a half crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky; moonlight poured down like silver, plating the stone steps inside the observatory with a layer of silvery white.

"It's getting late; hurry back to your rooms to rest. Remember, regarding the simulated universe…… this time you are not allowed to delve deeper into it."

"Why?" Fu Fu leaned her head in.

Yi Xuan gently rubbed her head: "Following Ms. Hei Ta to continue uncovering the universe's hidden past, the more you know, the more entangled you become. This woman named Bolka Kakamu possesses truly uncanny abilities; I, as your master, worry——"

Upon mentioning Bolka, Fu Fu instinctively shrank her neck: "I, I understand…… Master."

""Detected……""

"Communication interrupted, the simulated universe's backtracking process suddenly collapsed."

""I sense someone probing my footsteps." The woman drew out a scalpel, held it in her hand and carefully polished it, "So I have prepared a return gift for them—a game of cat and mouse.""

""Identity verification complete, Genius Club #4……""

""Identity verification complete, Genius Club #4……""

"Accompanying the intermittent electrical sounds of the simulated universe, there was also Hei Ta's shout: 'What are you standing there for, Xing? Run!'"

"The woman seemed to be smiling."

"She slowly opened her arms, a passionate, almost welcoming gesture: 'Welcome to the 【Omniscience Domain】, my meticulously crafted experimental ground.'"

——

JOJO Gospel.

"Just by having someone probe one's past footsteps, it can be automatically sensed……" Kang Sui murmured to herself, fingers unconsciously tightening her skirt hem, "This ability is practically like the dean's… no, like Tu Long's Stand ability……"

"Well, his Stand ability is 'Miracle on You.' As soon as one has the thought of investigating him, calamity clings to the investigator like a bone‑deep parasite, forcing them either to abandon the search for truth or to die in endless disaster." Ding Zhu lowered his voice, "This woman named Bolka Kakamu also possesses a similar ability—it's like an automatic‑trigger Stand whose range spans the entire universe; merely probing her past will automatically activate it."

"Then doesn't this count as 'probing her past'?" Kang Sui's heart gave a sudden thump, an ominous feeling welling up. Although she and Ding Zhu were observing Bolka Kakamu's footsteps through the heavenly curtain, they were still in the same universe; given Bolka's elusive ability, she could easily appear behind them in the next second and press her scalpel to their necks.

"No, we should be fine……" Ding Zhu lifted his gaze to the woman's blurred face on the heavenly curtain, "Logically, Bolka does have the ability to back‑track us, but given our status, she probably wouldn't bother making a special trip just for us."

He is merely an ordinary person of the Dongfang family, and Kang Sui is just a university student living in Duwang Town; if even they were worth Bolka personally silencing, then wouldn't everyone on Earth who has seen the heavenly curtain have to die?

"Exactly." Dongfang Changxiu smiled, leaning toward Kang Sui, "Suppose 2 billion people on Earth had probed Bolka Kakamu's footsteps; if they all had to be silenced by her, wielding her scalpel without eating or drinking, killing nonstop 24 hours a day at a rate of one person per minute, she would need roughly…… 3,805 years."

Having said that, Changxiu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly slapped her thigh: "……This would be tantamount to reverse‑sealing Bolka on Earth for over three thousand years! For those meddlesome geniuses in the universe, this might actually be a good thing!"

"Changxiu……" Kang Sui moved a few steps away from the sofa with a look of disgust, one hand linking Ding Zhu's arm, "Your train of thought really…… you should go see a doctor."

——

"Imagine a butterfly, a tiny, insignificant butterfly flapping its wings."

"In a match of the Isis Federation, it was struck by an athlete's swing. The dust on its wings triggered a respiratory allergy, and the sneezing athlete passed the insignificant cold virus to the president he was meeting."

"The headache and fever from the cold boldly shifted the decision tree two percent toward the aggressive quadrant, ultimately leading the president to sign an order declaring war on a neighboring country, causing countless deaths."

"Upon hearing that her loved one had perished on the battlefield, the president's private physician used a scalpel to slit the president's now‑unharmed respiratory tract, desperately hurling the weapon from a height."

"A passing assassin picked up the falling weapon—the specimen pin capable of pinning the butterfly that stirred the storm—and gripped it tightly."

"This assassin targets geniuses; her scalpel is about to close in on Xing and Hei Ta's necks. Before them appear three shelters; to evade pursuit, they must choose one."

"Xing and Hei Ta fled to the Crystal Inn."

"A butterfly flapped its wings; the particles on its wing scales reacted just right. Its drifting trajectory perfectly matched gravity, as more and more gray‑white feathers enveloped it, until a rolling stone crushed the inn flat."

""In the Omniscience Domain, probability and coincidence hold meaning." Bolka calmly prophesied, "You will first encounter a farce, then a tragedy.""

"Garbled data blocked the simulated universe's calculation of the scepter system; they can no longer connect to the scepter."

"There was once a creed that regarded the world as a precision clockwork watch; if one mastered the information of every particle, one could predict the trajectory of all motion. In other words, the future is already determined by the past. Although this idea is mere daydreaming, beyond it the universe possesses a more intuitive reference frame—the 【Moment】 calculated by the Learned Venerable."
