Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 512 - 90: They’ve Time-Traveled and They Care About That?

Li Mumu was completely baffled, "What does the Ma Family’s extinction have to do with me?"

Everything that happened tonight was utterly inexplicable to her.

Being chased without reason, killing someone without reason, and then, without reason, owing Li Lingling a favor.

That sentence did strike a chord with her, though.

After all, in the parallel universe illusions she glimpsed in previous years, it seemed that someone had said just that.

But Li Mumu didn’t understand the specific meaning behind that sentence.

Especially since in the history before she transmigrated, no corresponding historical event could be found.

"No way, you really don’t know anything yet..."

Seeing the clueless expression on Li Mumu’s face, Li Lingling couldn’t help but cover her face and sigh, "I’m sorry, my bad. I almost forgot that at this point in time, big sis, you’re still an innocent fool."

You’re the innocent fool! Your whole family is full of innocent fools!

No, wait, doesn’t that include me too...?

Li Mumu calmed down and said to Li Lingling with a serious face, "This piece of information is worthless to me right now, so don’t blame me for not keeping the promise."

She had realized that Li Lingling had made a common mistake among time travelers.

For example, imagine you time-travel back to the State of Qin and present the First Emperor with a world map—it sounds grand and glorious, but the practical application would face numerous real-world obstacles.

Leaving the technical difficulties of time travel aside, first, you’d have to deal with three problems after you arrive.

First, you have no identity documents, no transport, and no idea where Xianyang is.

Second, you can’t understand the local dialect or ancient script, so you can’t communicate with the people from that time.

Third, the First Emperor wouldn’t understand the world map, considering that the era’s maps didn’t even have a basic representation of Huaxia’s territories, let alone match up to a world map.

Show a game map of Diablo 4 to a greasy middle-aged guy stuck in the 80s playing Diablo 2, and he’ll just be confused.

Typically, these kinds of issues can only be resolved with some system cheat codes.

Making the ancients exclaim in wonder like elementary school kids, "Wow! Our empire is only this small!"

Li Lingling was making this very mistake. She assumed that Li Mumu, at this point in time, already knew or was supposed to know what had happened.

However, Li Mumu thought to herself, what do I know, really?

How does this even relate to the Ma Family, the Fusang People, and feeling regret in their hearts...

I haven’t even figured out who the big brother who saved me tonight is.

"This is troublesome..."

Li Lingling bit her finger, looking troubled. "If I tell you too much, will I end up rewriting history?"

Li Mumu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "You’ve already reversed the timeline, do you still care about that?"

"Alright then, I’ll make a long story short."

Seeing Li Mumu remained unmoved by bribes or threats, Li Lingling bit her lip, stamped her foot, and finally got serious.

"The attack you encountered today was not actually aimed at you. They wanted to kidnap you to threaten the Ma Family into submission."

"What???"

Why?

Li Mumu still didn’t understand.

I’m not the Ma Family’s daughter-in-law, and our relationship isn’t that close, right? Why kidnap me?

"However, they didn’t anticipate you being so formidable, which forced them to change their plans and chop off an innocent girl’s hand, disguise it as yours, and present it to the Ma Family, leading them to a misunderstanding."

Crazy much!

Li Mumu was astounded.

What kind of a madman comes up with such a brilliantly insane plan.

"And then... the Ma Family went all out to rescue your whole family, but in the end, they fell into a trap and were turned into puppets at the mercy of others; afterwards, they caused a great disaster outside."

Ah, what?

It’s not that, I...

Li Mumu felt numb; what kind of situation was this?

How come I suddenly owe someone a huge debt of karma?

"In short, that’s the situation; if you don’t go rescue them now, there may not be another chance!"

Li Lingling said with a playful smile, "Sister, you might be misunderstanding me. Actually, you don’t have to worry, we’re family. How could I possibly harm you? I believe you can verify whether what I’m saying is true or false. Going out to rescue someone shouldn’t take too much time. I can lie here pretending to be you, and no one will notice!"

So after going in big circles, your ultimate goal is still to take over for me, isn’t it!

Li Mumu sat up, squinting her eyes as she stared at Li Lingling.

This one’s face might as well have "I have a guilty conscience" written all over it, but as a person from the future, Li Mumu couldn’t fathom her thoughts.

As for the life and death of the Ma Family, Li Mumu didn’t really care much, but she was very curious about what Li Lingling was up to.

"I’ll step out for a bit; you better stay here and be honest as you said, and don’t cause any trouble for me!"

That sentence was needless, as Li Mumu wasn’t naive enough to think that hospital beds were truly that comfortable.

But if she didn’t give Li Lingling the opportunity to perform, she wouldn’t be able to figure out Li Lingling’s real intentions.

Therefore, she decided to use the strategy of letting her think she had an opening.

......

No one answered the phone, and Wang Yunxiao frowned involuntarily.

As far as he knew, Veronica too was a night owl, staying up at the Military Residence, not sleeping, but rather sharpening knives, polishing guns, and carving bullets in her room. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In short, this was not a time when she should be unreachable.

But the call to the Church rang for a long time with no one picking up.

Could it be that the nuns at the Church, in order to ensure their sleep quality, not only turned off the power but also unplugged the phone line after eight in the evening?

Should I contact the Special Service Bureau?

Wang Yunxiao was somewhat unsure.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to contact them; it was just pointless to make a call. The Special Service Bureau always seemed to be busy; even the big incident at the Nederland Embassy didn’t draw them out.

Now, it was just a half-dead female patient who had a hint of Hell’s aura on her; would the Special Service Bureau bother with such a small matter?

The answer was, without a doubt, no need to think about it.

So now Wang Yunxiao was also a bit perplexed about who to turn to.

Maybe it’s better to wait a few minutes and try calling the Church again.

Thinking this, he turned and walked into the restroom.

Of course, it wasn’t to take a dump but to wash his hands.

Those who often kill people... it doesn’t seem appropriate to phrase it that way.

People who have the experience of washing their hands repeatedly after getting them dirty know that using too much hand sanitizer or soap can make your hands drier with each wash. Though they look clean, they feel uncomfortable enough that you want to wash them again.

Wang Yunxiao turned on the tap and rinsed his hands, then wiped his face, trying to refresh himself.

Just as he was about to step out, he suddenly heard a faint sound from behind him.

It was a woman’s voice.

Wang Yunxiao stopped in his tracks and glanced at the restroom door sign; he was in the men’s room and hadn’t gone into the wrong one.

He definitely wasn’t hearing things.

Keeping his composure, he slowly turned around and tiptoed a few steps further inside.

Passing a partition, he saw Li Mumu huddled in a corner, covering her arm, which was bleeding profusely.
