Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 307 Time and Space Intersection

Song Yufeng sat in his office chair, twirling the pen in his hand as he pondered something, or more precisely, processed the information Hai Mao had provided.

What Song Yufeng cares about most is undoubtedly the Sea Cat from that world—the Sea Cat who created the game Arknights. What exactly is he trying to do? Why is he hiding so many things from the Sea Cat of that world? And what is his purpose in creating Arknights? The world of Terra truly exists, and the game's plot aligns with the events of that world. How did the Sea Cat in that world know about Terra? And why did he turn the events of that world into a game?

Also, why did Umineko send her daughter into this world?

There are too many mysteries, whether it's the current Umineko or the Umineko from that world.

Also, where did the sea cat come from? He didn't have a past, so he couldn't have just sprung from a rock, could he be a product of a previous civilization like Kal'tsit?

And Umineko was a god before? What's going on...? I never sensed that aura that I loathe, how did Umineko manage that? Could it be that the aura naturally disappeared after she relinquished her divine status?

"Lord Song Yufeng, here you go." Just as Song Yufeng was getting more and more annoyed, Lilina came over and handed him a teacup.

"Ah, Lilina, thank you." Song Yufeng took the teacup, took a small sip of tea, and then said, "Why has your way of addressing me changed? You used to call me by my full name, but now you call me 'Sir'?"

"Really? I remember always addressing you as Lord Song Yufeng," Lilina asked, puzzled.

?Really?

Song Yufeng thought about it carefully, but the more he thought about it, the more blurred it became. His memory of how Lilina addressed him had completely faded.

Is it because I've had too much going on lately? My brain isn't working properly...

"Oh, sorry, I've probably been too busy lately and forgot. I'd like to go for a walk."

"Shall I come with you?" Lilina said with a smile.

"Okay." Song Yufeng nodded in agreement.

It was already October in Victoria, and the weather was starting to cool down, but only compared to summer. Even in winter, Victoria was relatively mild, at least warmer than winters in Yan and Ursus.

The two walked quietly like that. Song Yufeng's mind was a little blank. As they walked, they headed towards the outskirts of Victoria. Song Yufeng suddenly wanted to go to that village again, the village where the King's Staff had been stationed before. If possible, Song Yufeng wanted to visit that old woman again, the old woman with eyes like an eagle.

The village was still the same, but the terrifying aura of the King's Staff was gone. I wonder how those people are doing now.

Song Yufeng had only walked a few steps when he saw the old woman. Those eyes were unmistakable. Song Yufeng quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's been a long time."

However, the old woman simply turned her head in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

Song Yufeng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You don't remember me? When I came to find the members of the King's Staff, you were the one who told me not to cause them any trouble."

The old woman's eagle-like eyes swept over Song Yufeng again, and then she said, "I don't remember... and you said the King's Staff? What's that? There are almost no outsiders in our village."

Song Yufeng was completely stunned. He stood there, trying to retrieve his original memories, but to his surprise, they were blurred. He remembered the appearance and voice of each member of the King's Staff clearly, but the things he had met and talked to them in this village were extremely vague, as if they had never existed at all...

What a joke!

"But judging from the looks of it, something must have gone wrong?" the old woman asked. "It's also possible that I'm remembering it wrong. You can ask a few more people."

After the old woman left, Song Yufeng and Lilina asked a few more people, only to find that they had no recollection of the King's Staff.

What the hell? Song Yufeng looked at Lilina, feeling exactly the same way he couldn't remember how Lilina used to address him.

In the end what happened?

“Lord Song Yufeng… I have a vague feeling that something is not right.” Lilina was very smart; she noticed it immediately.

"Lord Song Yufeng, there is a discrepancy between your memories and reality... Either someone has tampered with your memories, or someone has altered reality..."

Song Yufeng felt a chill run down his spine. No matter which one it was, it was terrifying for him, which meant that everything in his memory might no longer be reliable.

Altering memories, rewriting reality? Even gods couldn't do that! Song Yufeng was deeply shocked.

"Lord Song Yufeng, I suggest we consult Master Zhong about this matter. This ability to tamper with memories and alter reality is far too terrifying..."

Song Yufeng nodded. This was indeed no small matter. He quickly returned to the agency and found Hai Mao on the second floor.

“This…” Hai Mao paused, then said, “How about this, let’s compare everything that happened after you came to this world, and see if it matches your memories.”

After comparing their memories, the two realized that they were completely identical. However, Hai Mao clearly remembered that Lilina had indeed called Song Yufeng by the name Song Yufeng, and he also remembered the matter of the King's Staff.

So, does that mean it might involve memory manipulation?

"Don't worry, let me ask if the King's Staff remembers that village." After saying that, Sea Cat dialed the number.

“So it doesn’t seem like memory manipulation. The Staff of Kings said they remember that village and everything else perfectly. If it really was memory manipulation, then the members of the Staff of Kings should have been modified. It’s impossible that they only targeted you and Lilina. That would be pointless and too easy to detect,” Sea Cat said.

"What happened?"

Hai Mao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, his voice trembling slightly, "Song Yufeng, have you ever experienced something that feels very familiar, like you've done it before, something like déjà vu, or when you're doing something and an idea suddenly pops into your head about how to do it?"

"Yes, several times."

"That's right, that's right..." Hai Mao exclaimed excitedly. Song Yufeng had never seen Hai Mao so excited before.

"I've suddenly gotten a lead, and it's related to my previous research. If I can confirm it, I can unravel your mystery, and even the secrets about my origins!"

"What is it?"

"Time and space intertwine."
