Variety: I Loaded the Dream Game

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi didn't go home right away, but came to the teacher's office, and found Teacher Mafuyu who hadn't had time to get back from get off work. After a while, he successfully got the roster of previous graduates from her.

"no……"

After looking through the roster carefully, searching back and forth several times, even looking through the materials ten years ago twice, Xia Zhi just couldn't find the name he was looking for on it.

"It's time to give up now, right?" Kirisu Mafuyu said while rubbing his arm that was a little sore from being shaken by the boy, looking at him angrily.

"I told you a long time ago that there is no such a person in the past graduates... If she is really as good as you said, it is impossible for me not to be impressed."

"Does Mafuyu-sensei only have an impression of outstanding students?"

Xia Zhi tidied up the roster and closed it, and asked nonchalantly.

"Negative, Xia Zhi, please don't take teacher's words out of context." Tongsu Mafuyu frowned and said.

But...it is undeniable that for students with characteristics, the impression will inevitably be a little deeper.

Looking at the boy in front of her, she thought silently in her heart.

"Anyway, thank you, Mr. Mafuyu, for lending this to me. I'm sorry to trouble you to stay with me until now." Xia Zhi returned the roster to Tongsu Mafuyu, and thanked him by the way.

"It doesn't matter to me..."

Kirisu Mafuyu said nonchalantly.

"On the contrary, Xia Zhi, have you given up?"

"If you can't find something, it's pointless to look for it, right?"

Xia Zhi shrugged, greeted Mafuyu-sensei, then turned and left the office...

On the way home, Xia Zhi fell into deep thought as he watched the classmates who gathered in twos and threes to go home, and listened to the sound of cars passing by on the side of the road from time to time.

After a brief confirmation, he already had a general understanding of the situation.

In this world, at least in the perception of the people around him, there is no such a person as "Yukinoshita Yono", and her name is not even listed in the school's roster of past graduates.

It is impossible for the school to delete the name of a past outstanding graduate for no reason, and it is impossible for Mafuyu-sensei, Yukino, and Kato Megumi to deceive themselves in this matter together.

So, is there something wrong with my memory?

"Has my memory been tampered with?"

Xia Zhi sent a query to the dream game.

Soon, the dream game gave a negative answer.

He was a little relieved, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "So, have 3.2 of Yukino's and the others' memories been tampered with?"

After waiting for a while, Dreamland Game gave the same negative answer.

"..."

This is a bit of a hassle.

Xia Zhi pondered.

It's not my problem, nor is it the problem of Yukino and the others, so the problem can only be this world, right?

"last question."

Xia Zhi raised his head, watched the setting sun slowly falling in the distance, dyeing the clouds in the sky into a blood-red sunset, and asked softly to the dream game in his heart:

"Has the world line of this world ever been changed?"

【……Sure】

This time, Dreamland Games gave a completely different answer in the affirmative.

Chapter 240 An Abnormality That Doesn't Exist

"I am back!"

Back home, Xia Zhi greeted her, changed her shoes and went to the living room, and threw her schoolbag on the sofa.

"Welcome back, Summer Solstice..."

Hubby, who was sitting on the sofa studying the remote control, raised his head and greeted him.

"What are you doing?" Xia Zhi asked curiously.

"Xia Zhi said...the switch button on the remote control is broken...so it's being repaired..." Hubby explained: "By the way... I want to add some new functions..."

"Then you can fix it slowly." Xia Zhi rubbed her little head, looked left and right in the living room, and asked doubtfully, "Where is Xia Zhi?"

Usually that girl should not have returned to her room so early at this time, why didn't she see her?

"Xia Zhi... just went to the toilet..." Hubby blinked and asked, "Should I call her out...?"

"..."

Just forget it and don't bother her.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling, his thoughts gradually diverging.

After some confirmation from the dream game, he can basically confirm two points now

——The world line of this world has been changed, and Yukinoshita Haruno disappeared in the process of changing the world line, and became non-existent from the beginning.

So, when did the world line change? 18

Taking the "last time" I saw Yukinoshita Yoshino as the limit, it should only have happened within the last two weeks...

"Two weeks..."

Xia Zhi murmured, a figure of a blond girl suddenly appeared in his mind.

"...Suwako."

That's right, because of an unknown error that occurred in the dream game, the past Suwako was pulled into the dream dungeon. After the dungeon ended, the girl's consciousness returned to the original timeline, which caused the "future" to change.

So, it was actually because of himself and Suwako that caused the disappearance of Yukinoshita Harino?

If this is the case, it can indeed be explained.

As for why I can still remember the existence of Yukinoshita Yono who has disappeared after the world line changes, Xia Zhi estimates that it is probably because I have gathered myself from all timelines to the "now" and become a certain kind of person. For the sake of being out of the "past" and "future" timelines.

Not only the damage received by "now" will be corrected by "past" and "future", any influence from "past" will also be overwritten by "now".

He who confines all time to the "now" is no longer restricted by fate and karma. In other words, even if someone travels back to the past and kills him, it will not be able to have any impact on the current summer solstice.

Naturally, the change of the world line is even less likely to affect his memory.

But in the current world, there are only three people with the same ability including him.

Among them, Shubi and Suwako did not know Yukinoshita Yono before that.

In other words, Xia Zhi is the only one who still remembers Yukinoshita Yono.

"Is this a good thing...or a bad thing...?"

Xia Zhi sighed slightly, looking at the empty ceiling and muttering to himself.

……and many more.

Seeming to have thought of something suddenly, Xia Zhi sat up straight, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked softly in his heart:

"Let me ask... how many times has the world line of this world been reset?"

After paying the consultation fee of dozens of dream points, the dream game gave an accurate answer——

【twice】

"...That's right."

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

That is to say, apart from the one with Suwako, the world line has been changed once...

Leaving aside which change caused Yukinoshita Yoshino's disappearance, the other change of the world line should also be caused by an abnormal effect if he guessed correctly.

After all, if there are people in this world who can tamper with time, then the number of world line changes should be far more than twice.

But... there's one more problem here.

If the change of the world line is really caused by an abnormal effect, then why can't I and Hubby discover the existence of that abnormality?

Is it because there is an undetectable setting in that anomaly?

Xia Zhi thought about it, and edited a new setting in her heart:

"In this world, there are still abnormalities that Hubby and I haven't discovered yet."

[This modification needs to consume 173 dream points, do you confirm the modification? 】

It can be modified, which means it doesn't actually exist, right?

Xia Zhi thought in his heart.

The setting of the dream game is absolute, unless the priority of the "undetectable" setting on the anomaly is higher than that of the dream game, otherwise it should be impossible to escape the confirmation I just made through the dream game anyway.

However, if this is the case, things seem to have reached a dead end.

Another change in the world line can only be caused by an anomaly, but that anomaly does not actually exist.

An anomaly that doesn't exist...

Xia Zhi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Ah, brother, have you come back yet?"

Xia Zhi who returned to the living room saw the boy on the sofa and greeted him happily.

"By the way, there is an apple I just bought on the table, do you want to eat it?"

Xia Zhi glanced at the bag on the table, and saw some apples that were slightly different in shape from ordinary apples and darker in color.

"It's a snake fruit..."

To be honest, he doesn't like the crispy taste of red snake fruit. If he really wants to say, he still prefers the crisp feeling of ordinary apples, or green apples.

and so……

"I won't eat, can you eat more?"
