"If it were so easy to time travel, the world would have been in chaos long ago, Meow!"

"Only a divine being like me can pass through the gaps in the if-line to a specified point in time without a scratch..."

"Even as the Child of Fate, you'd turn to dust the moment you travel, Meow!"

Yan Huan opened his mouth, inevitably asking,

"That shouldn't be the case, how can Bai Yi do it? Is it because of the ability of the ring finger? You sewed the ring finger into the Puzzle Solver. Shouldn't I be able to do it too?"

"The ring finger doesn't have that ability at all, Meow... Most likely, it's because of Bai Yi!"

"Because of Bai Yi?"

Yan Huan was slightly stunned and heard Meow continue,

"Yes, Meow, her constitution seems very special, comparable to a Divine in this regard, allowing her to traverse time and space unaffected...

"No wonder, there are many people with more fate than Bai Yi, yet the ring finger chose Bai Yi, whose fate is only slightly more than An Le, as its host..."

Bai Yi's constitution...

Comparable to a divine being?

Yan Huan was greatly shocked, swallowing hard, yet he still caught the core issue, his face darkened as he asked,

"Wait... So according to what you're saying, does that mean I still won't be able to travel back to the past to save Bai Yi?"

"Meow..."

Meow blinked and shook its head,

"I do have a way, it should help you... I need a few hours to do some tuning, Meow..."

A few hours...

Yan Huan glanced at the time; it was just past noon, around twelve.

Before 4:44, there should be enough time.

This is even more urgent than catching a flight...

"Alright, just right, I'll... go tell them."

"Okay, Meow."

Upon hearing this, Meow nodded, stood up, and wiggled its body, turning into dust right in front of Yan Huan.

This was completely different from its previous method of disappearing instantly, so Yan Huan speculated that it was going to a different place.

"..."

Meanwhile, Yan Huan wasn't idle. When people go far away, they have to inform their families, let alone...

This time he's going really far away.

To prevent what happened last time when the world fell into chaos after he died, he still needed to give some heads-up to several hosts.

However, he only wanted to change the matter of Bai Yi's disappearance, nothing else he would alter.

Nothing would change now, except...

Bai Yi will come back.

With this in mind, Yan Huan took out his phone and first sent a message to An Le,

"An Le, where are you? I'll come help you move."

"..."

No reply from the other side.

Moving house?

Yan Huan blinked, not thinking much.

After all, he knew where the house An Le chose was located, he'll just go find her there.

"Click～"

Yan Huan stepped out, looked at the villa in front of him, and shouted,

"Sister Shiyu!!"

"..."

On the third floor, the curtains of Ye Shiyu's room were drawn with no response.

Hmm?

"Sister Shiyu?!"

Yan Huan shouted again, but next second, the first-floor door opened, and it was Aunt Wang.

"Xiao Huan..."

"Hey, Aunt Wang, where's Sister Shiyu?"

"She went out this morning, she's not home."

Went out?

"Okay, thanks, Aunt Wang."

"No problem."

Yan Huan looked down and opened his phone, sending a message to Ye Shiyu,

"Sister Shiyu, where are you?"

"..."

Again, no reply.

Hmm...

Two people in a row didn't respond, Yan Huan raised an eyebrow.

Could it be they went to help An Le move?

That doesn't seem right...

With An Le's negative 91 favourability towards Ye Shiyu, it's a wonder if they didn't fight without someone mediating between them.

Never mind, might as well check, An Le's new place isn't far from here anyway.

"..."

Almost a kilometre in a straight line, just a ten-minute walk or so, Yan Huan soon saw the house Ye Shiyu chose.

A little villa of about a hundred square meters, quite suitable for An Le living alone.

However, at this moment, Yan Huan peered through the fence and couldn't hear any noise...

"Hoo..."

And the next second, after pondering for a moment, Yan Huan jumped to the second floor, sweeping a look from the balcony inside.

Graphics tablet, computer desk, some cardboard boxes...

Everything has been moved in.

But where are the people?

"Knock, knock, knock～"

He knocked a few times, but still no response from inside.

Weird, really weird.

"..."

Helplessly, Yan Huan opened his phone again and sent a message to Sakuragi Hitomi.

Yet, after sending a cat emoji, there was no response from the other side either.

Three people in a row hadn't responded, and Yan Huan's heart sank.

Especially after Bai Yi's disappearance, he immediately felt an ominous premonition.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Frowning, in the end, he sent a message to Aria.

This time...

Even Aria didn't reply.

How is this possible?!

Refusing to believe it, Yan Huan waited for half an hour at the villa area entrance.

But still, not a single message.

Seeing this, Yan Huan's face turned pale.

At this moment, looking at the incredibly quiet neighborhood atmosphere around him, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Could it be...

The ring finger?!

The complete disappearance of the ring finger as Meow mentioned might be a false proposition...

Yan Huan knew, the ring finger wasn't that simple.

But no matter how complex, it shouldn't have such a power!

Without a sound, all four hosts disappeared?!

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Feeling a bit panicked, Yan Huan called them one by one.

But all his calls went unanswered, making Yan Huan break out in a cold sweat.

Eventually, he opened Tong Yingying's page and sent the situation to her,

"Sister Tong, something's wrong, I can't reach Hitomi and the others!"
