Chapter 722
Change
Yes, the current An Mingyu does not belong to this world.
But this answer was not discovered by herself, but... told to her by Zhen Xin.
She didn't know when Zhen Xin discovered her identity, perhaps at the very beginning, perhaps in the middle of the conversation, but in any case, it must have been after she stated the cause and effect of that 【Time】 trial that the other party recognized she was not the An Mingyu of this world, and used the probe of dried tangerine peel water to... gently inform her of this answer.
As for why it is said so, it is because Zhen Xin would never probe An Mingyu; only An Mingyu would probe Zhen Xin, because she needed to confirm whether the other party was Zhen Yi.
But today, this inexplicable, sudden probe directly stunned An Mingyu on the spot!
Think about it, under what circumstances would Zhen Xin launch a probe against a best friend who entered the museum with playing cards and came to ask for help?
Before this 【Time】 trial, An Mingyu couldn't think of any answer.
But as it happened, the previous trial was a trial related to identity, which forced her to lean her suspicions in this direction!
Zhen Xin definitely sensed the difference between her and the original An Mingyu, which is why she reminded her in disguise.
At that moment, An Mingyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, almost collapsing, but she still stabilized her mindset, tried her best to control her expression, and then continued to act out this drama that they both tacitly didn't want to expose.
She knew the other party was Zhen Xin, definitely Zhen Xin, but she still forcibly misidentified her as Zhen Yi in front of her.
And Zhen Xin also admitted it; she even played her younger sister, all so that the step An Mingyu offered could play a role and provide her with a trace of comfort.
Because whether it was An Mingyu or Zhen Xin, neither of them wanted to break this friendship that should have been complete. Even if An Mingyu was no longer the An Mingyu of this world, at least for now, at a time when Zhen Xin couldn't confirm if there was still a chance to find the original An Mingyu, neither she nor she wanted to end this friendship that was better than kinship in such a muddled way.
But for An Mingyu, the blow was too great.
Everything was clearly correct, the color of the original rainbow orchid was clearly no problem, how could it...
Wait!
Rainbow orchid color!
When did she see the red rainbow orchid?
Obviously, it was when she first separated to explore and walked out of the inn with Cheng Shi.
Indeed, the first look after they left the inn confirmed the anchor point of the current world.
But... what if someone had already changed before confirming the color of this rainbow orchid!?
An Mingyu remembered that at the beginning of that trial, there had been a whole point, and it was right after they had just descended!
But what puzzled her was that at that time, she clearly "saw" the Doctor, why would...
It's broken.
Thinking of this, the dice in An Mingyu's hand fell.
Because she suddenly realized one thing, and that was that her so-called "seeing" seemed to be different from others!!
At the beginning of the trial, she did indeed "see" the Doctor, but the problem was she remembered that the Doctor was facing away from her at the time, so, there was the Doctor in her "field of vision," but she was not in the Doctor's field of vision!
If the rules of 【Time】 were so strict that it must be a true "line of sight," then at that whole point, the moment she stared at the Doctor, the two players in that room perhaps had already become the discrepancy of 【Time】.
Therefore, not only her, but even the Doctor was not a person of this world!
The Blind One was stunned. She recalled the Doctor's final performance and remembered the other party's firm confirmation of his own identity. Thinking about it now, did this Doctor use a truth to tell a lie?
Did he not know that the discrepancy had already occurred in him, or did he have a premeditated plan to leave the original world?
But what for?
Yes, Cheng Shi said the other party was a slice, he was a slice of 0221!
So that Doctor who fell into the discrepancy with her had long known his identity as a slice, and thus used this trial to come to another world?
A world favorable to his identity or one that escaped the predicament of his original identity!?
What a believer of 【Truth】, what an assassin shuttling in the shadows.
This shadow of 【Time】 that covered the sky and sun really let you find a loophole.
But why hadn't she changed later?
Actually, the answer is simple, because she had been with Cheng Shi later, and it was that cautious Fate Weaver who had used his gaze, never leaving her side at the whole point, to anchor her existence.
"..."
After figuring all this out, An Mingyu fell silent. She had to consider her own situation, and while thinking, she took out that tube of Remembrance and Mourning again.
Before Old Deng was resolved, this thing couldn't be used, but now...
That Fate Weaver who had once walked side by side with her in the trial seemed to have become the only person she could trust in this world.
Then, should this prop used to forget him... still be used?
Besides, if the other party knew her identity, would he... still trust her?
An Mingyu lay on the table, falling into deep thought with a solemn face.
On the other side, in the museum.
The moment the Blind One left, "Zhen Yi," who had been laughing and baring fangs to scare the Blind One, withdrew all the smiles on her face, retracted her chasing gesture, stood blankly in place, lowered her head, and bit her lip hard.
She was using so much force that blood began to seep from the corners of her lips.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
Tears and blood dripped down, hitting the ground and turning into water droplets and blood balls that didn't mix, rolling in all directions.
They rolled further and further away, just like the distance between Zhen Xin and An Mingyu, never able to get close again.
Zhen Xin cried. This was the second time in her life she had cried, but soon she calmed down just like the Blind One, wiped away her tears, wiped away the bloodstains, and took a rag to clean the stains on the ground completely.
But she was different from the current Blind One, because the moment she saw through the other party's identity, this clever former 【Deception】 Chosen One guessed why the An Mingyu of this world hadn't returned!
She threw the rag aside, squatted on the ground hugging her legs, her posture skilled to the point of being heartbreaking.
She looked at the blurry other self reflected on the reflective ground, and murmured in a low voice like the Blind One:
"Who are you?
Are you also me?
Then your luck is really good.
Oh sorry, I know you are having a hard time now, but I mean, at least Mingyu knows too, so that's why she chose to help you.
Right, Mingyu, only when you see another me suffering will you put down the me here and go help her..."
Zhen Xin bit her lip again, reached out to the ground, and stroked the face of that cold other self.
"So cold.
She is very good, I don't know if you sent her back to comfort me, but she is really good, better than I imagined.
Have you seen her? Probably not.
The story she told didn't have you, but I know her now, let me tell you about her, Mingyu.
She... is very warm, much warmer than you, this cold guy..."
