Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 953 - 20: But It’s Impossible to Be Mentally Ill

Signal flag?

Oh right, the signal flag.

But isn’t the signal flag something I don’t need to do anything for?

Li Mumu frowned and looked at Shen Qingxi: "What are you trying to say?"

"We discussed the future era before, and our historical timelines are completely consistent."

Shen Qingxi shrugged: "Except for the part of our memories that were erased, there’s only one memory discrepancy between us, and that’s that you don’t know about annihilation."

"What does that mean?"

"There are several possibilities, but according to my understanding, I tend to think that you... transmigrated at an earlier point in time."

"So what?"

"Your starting point is earlier, but you transmigrated here the latest. I transmigrated about half a year earlier than you, and Xia Yubing... do you know how long she’s been here?"

Li Mumu still didn’t understand.

"So what’s the point of discussing this?"

"The point is—based on various signs, I deduced that Xia Yubing arrived earlier than any of us, but her behavior doesn’t resemble a transmigrator at all. Do you understand what I mean? She seems like she has already settled into this era."

Shen Qingxi said seriously, "She is now the chief of the Containment Department of the Special Service Bureau, her abilities have surpassed ours by a significant margin, and she is diligently cultivating, unconcerned with worldly affairs. I have every reason to suspect that she has abandoned her identity as a transmigrator and the responsibilities she should bear, choosing instead to join the new Doomsday Plan developed in this timeline, which is the Twelve Dharma Gate System."

[Of course, you don’t actually need to understand all this information; there are others who will ’use’ you to complete this task. This arrangement is partly due to confidentiality needs, and partly as a precaution against the signal flag itself.]

[Though every signal flag was an outstanding warrior who endured tests of blood and fire in their lifetime, living life anew can inevitably change one’s mindset.]

[If a traitor or someone with weak resolve appears among the current signal flag group, you must do your utmost to independently accomplish the task, standing vigil till the end.]

Li Mumu suddenly recalled the document stored in her mind.

According to the contents introduced by her future self in the document, the Signal Flag Plan indeed requires a team of three.

Moreover, redundancy variables were left in place during the execution of the plan.

The key sentiment is this sentence—living life anew, one’s mindset inevitably changes.

People need food like they need iron; there’s no logic saying that if you eat today, you don’t need to eat tomorrow.

Before transmigrating, influenced by various factors like family and educational environment, I was willing to sacrifice my life for a noble, great ideal.

After transmigrating, I have a new family, a new life, and one day out of the blue, someone jumps out to tell you that your work from the previous life is unfinished, and you have to sacrifice again...

Why should I?

The document left by my future self didn’t force me to do anything because it acknowledges the impracticality of such demands.

Xia Yubing indeed has some issues, but as far as Li Mumu is concerned, it isn’t a matter of whether she chooses or not.

She has never explicitly admitted that she’s a transmigrator like Li Mumu and Shen Qingxi.

Maybe she’s not one at all?

As the esteemed director of the Containment Department, isn’t it possible she might be engaging in entrapment, coaxing Shen Qingxi to expose his secrets?

On the contrary, Shen Qingxi seems a bit obsessed, Li Mumu feels.

"Do you know the specific content of the Signal Flag Plan?"

"I don’t, which is why I’m reasoning it out now."

Shen Qingxi said earnestly: "I can’t be certain about the specifics yet, but as for the result, have you ever considered—once the plan is activated, we three might be used as ’consumables’?"

"Not allowing us to know the specific content reversely indicates that we are sure to find the plan unacceptable. Look at the state we’re in now; what else is there that we can’t accept?"

"Only true death, right?"

"You’re just making baseless assumptions without evidence."

"Evidence is needed in court, whereas science allows for hypotheses."

Shen Qingxi said coldly, "I don’t like putting my life or death in someone else’s hands, so even if it’s just a hypothesis, I have to dig deep and thoroughly investigate this matter."

Li Mumu asked confusedly, "Then what do you plan to do? We don’t have any relevant information or clues right now."

"Well, not exactly none. After advancing in the Righteous Path of Twelve Dharma Gates, I can recover some memories, which is why I want to cultivate Dharma Sect of Righteous Path again."

"Actually..."

Li Mumu hesitated about whether to tell Shen Qingxi the news about the Penglai Immortal Academy’s enrollment.

The Special Service Bureau didn’t strictly require confidentiality, after all, many people attended with friends and family to watch a movie on the day.

They didn’t aim for secrecy; they simply didn’t want those with too low a level of strength to access this information.

After all, it is a prestigious academy, and Shen Qingxi is now starting from scratch.

"Is there really such a good deal?"

She ultimately decided to tell Shen Qingxi, who after listening, had eyes brimming with excitement.

"All you need is to write a paper to apply? The Special Service Bureau’s benefits are a bit too generous!"

"Your skills are too low; they might not even notice you."

"That’s not important, there’s still a full year, isn’t there?"

Shen Qingxi puffed out her chest: "Do you seriously think a genius beauty like me can’t advance in a year?"

Well, that’s hard to say, you’re changing fields a bit too drastically.

"Besides, rather than letting your mind wander, you might as well wait for Sister Bingbing to come out and have a good, open-hearted chat with everyone."

Li Mumu kindly advised: "Maybe you’re overthinking it, or maybe she has her own unavoidable reasons. Though our friendship isn’t that firm, I don’t think there’s any need for suspicions based on groundless reasons."

"You really have a broad perspective."

Shen Qingxi gave her a meaningful look: "We’re facing a doomsday crisis; don’t think that this complacent attitude can bless you and your husband with safety when the apocalypse comes, okay?"

"He’s cultivating the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate. When the Temporal Tide strikes, he’ll surely be on the front lines. If you do nothing, do you think he will survive?"

"That’s something between me and him, no need for you to worry."

"Don’t be so distant... What I mean is, even if your husband dies, you still have me! Isn’t our friendship as lifelong besties better than having a lousy man... A gentleman uses words, not force!"

Li Mumu playfully grabbed Shen Qingxi’s shoulder, leaned close to her face, and whispered, "Who would want to be with you for life, do you even have that function? If you make such jokes again, I’ll make sure you learn your lesson!"
