It's still inside Sakuragi Yuri's Barrier!

If she overheard your careless words and you ended up with another modifier incarnation, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"Uh..."

Bai Yi covered his mouth, but looked at Yan Huan with a bit of resentment.

Obviously, because he could only speak in his own mind and couldn't respond...

This made Bai Yi, who had strong communication needs, feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"...Don't worry, Meow, I've been researching how to receive her heart's voice during this period.

"We should have results by tomorrow, and you'll be able to communicate like a true host and modifier, Meow!"

At this moment, Meow brought good news to Yan Huan's mind, which left him a little surprised.

This guy actually...

Became useful?

Wait, could it be that Meow merged its representative "Useless" spirit root with mine?

So it became useful, and I inherited its uselessness?

Why does it feel like cleansing the spirit root?

It even seemed to see the device in front of Yan Huan through his eyes and made a surprised sound.

"This device is the complete version I gave you, Meow... How did she manage to create it in this world line?"

"An evolved version?"

Meow sounded excited, clearly indicating the value of this tool, and we don't know how Bai Yi in this if line created it.

"Yes, Meow, this observer looks more complex, but we don't know what extra features it has...

"Let her start it quickly, so I can plagiarize... oh no, emulate it into your modifier, Meow!"

Meow said it without a change of facial expression.

"..."

Yan Huan was speechless but turned to Bai Yi to try to start it,

"This tool is amazing, Meow, try to start it..."

"But I don't know how to use it, or how to find Yan Huan?"

Do you really want to help them find Yan Huan in the if line?

The reason that Yan Huan in this if line disappeared is because I came and couldn't replace her, so she vanished.

But come to think of it, this if line version of myself is already untouchable, and enjoying the replacement isn't bad, better to stay by Bai Yi's side.

"No need to help them look now, it's already late at night. Just find an excuse to say you'll give them news tomorrow night; we have to leave tomorrow afternoon anyway..."

Yan Huan virtualized and came onto Bai Yi's shoulder, struggled to stand, and said,

"The main thing is this tool, activate it, I might be able to absorb its ability and use it afterward."

"...Is that so?"

Bai Yi blinked and obediently reached out to touch the loom before him.

As her fingers touched the device, the pocket watch in her arms started spinning furiously.

Simultaneously, a golden river of silk appeared beneath the loom.

That river wasn't the world line of an if line but a real world line.

It seems Bai Yi, even in an if line, can cross the river of time and see the truest time and space.

"Tick-tock..."

But what makes this different from what Meow provided?

"Meow, this..."

"It's different, Meow, just wait, and have Bai Yi think about Yan Huan!"

"..."

Yan Huan conveyed Meow's intentions as Bai Yi closed her eyes, and upon following the instructions...

The golden river before them instantly became restless.

Next, like Moses parting the sea, countless threads in the golden river slowly opened up.

Until, deep within, appeared...

The thickest and brightest world line.

"Buzz!"

That represents the world line of the Child of Fate, Yan Huan.

"Look, with this thing, Bai Yi and you can see the world line operation of anyone within a month, Meow!"

Following Meow's pointing, Yan Huan also noticed.

They were in the middle of this thread, with each side extending 15 days.

Among them, one could faintly see countless other differently colored threads making contact and intertwining with Yan Huan's thick world line.

Most were just touching, meaning the events could be easily unentangled, at most looping around, easily separated.

But there were a few contacts presented in the form of knots. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"These are the occurrences during this period others intersecting your world line, things happening to you, Meow!

"If it's just touching, it means changing it is simple, maybe easily done in one go.

"If it's a knot, changing it is difficult, requiring multiple world line traversals to gradually modify.

"For example, the purple line entangled with yours these days is Bai Yi, showing three purple knots.

"Namely: Ye Shiyu imprisoning you, you getting hit by an ambulance, and the biggest one, preventing her modifier's complete eruption... "

Yan Huan roughly understood Meow's meaning:

Just use this as a tool to foresee and review the chain of causality in the next 15 days from a god-like perspective.

Some causes can be easily changed, while some are hard to alter, appearing as "knots."

"So actually, no need to take Bai Yi to the future, just let her see the next 15 days of her world line remain intact!"

Yan Huan suddenly had an idea, looked at Bai Yi nearby.

Not only conveyed Meow's message to her but also directed her attention to the final purple knot,

"Look at this spot, it's where Yan Huan is hit by a car in front of you, Meow... touch it."
