Chapter 932: Chapter 588 Butterfly Effect

Li Changhe indifferently watched the group of girls enter Yanyun Middle School, then turned to enter a narrow alley.

Now that it was clear, the person who had attacked Yun Ting was not limited to those four girls.

He would wait until Luo Qiao and that so-called ’Alon’ made contact, and then he would nab them all in one go without leaving any traces.

Otherwise, if a case involving multiple deaths were to occur,

the police of Yanyun in this era would instead become a hindrance.

"It seems that Brother Ting back then didn’t discover the existence of Alon..." Li Changhe hummed softly, "But this time, he won’t be able to escape."

The case at that time was defined as a suicide, and the records were not detailed. There was no mention of ’Alon’ at all.

From the expressions of those girls, it seemed that Alon was probably a notorious character.

Since he was also involved in this incident, he couldn’t blame Li Changhe for being ruthless.

Li Changhe waited in the alley, avoiding the eyes of pedestrians and students, for about an hour.

A girl wearing a school uniform and with a ponytail then appeared at the entrance of the alley.

That was Qiu Wentian, short in stature and youthful looking.

Wearing the Yanyun school uniform, she looked even more like a junior high student.

It was unknown whether the people in the school harbored suspicions about her. After all, she was quite conspicuous.

At the moment, she was holding an ice pop in her mouth and another in her hand, which she handed over to Li Changhe, saying, "Here, I’ve tested it. The currency provided by the officials can indeed be used in this era. So, we won’t have any problems with food and accommodation during the task."

Due to the [Player Backpack] being locked and food inside being inaccessible, the officials had prepared some money for everyone.

Otherwise... they would have needed the assistance of the Working Emperor.

"Thank you." Li Changhe took the ice pop and tore open the wrapper, asking, "How’s your investigation going?"

"That art room you mentioned has been abandoned for some time. However, I found that the door lock was indeed newly replaced," Qiu Wentian said, eating her ice pop, "So, I’m guessing that someone entered the room recently. To prevent them from leaving marks on the lock, I took a peek through the window. That creepy painting you talked about has been dealt with. A lifelike stone sculpture mannequin was ’staring’ at the picture album. Yet, whoever placed it wasn’t careful enough. They left many loopholes. Even I, with little investigative skills, could see footprints and even cigarette butts in the room."

"It looks like it was arranged by an amateur. At least that Transcendent didn’t show up for some reason," Li Changhe pondered, then asked, "Cigarette butts... Can you tell which brand they are?"

"I just confirmed it in a store. It should be Peony brand. It’s a common cigarette, so it’ll be hard to find useful clues," Qiu Wentian replied, "What about you? Have you seen your sister already?"

"Yeah. And I’ve also seen those few main culprits. I even heard them mention a person named ’Alon’," Li Changhe said, "Next, I plan to follow them and find that Alon. If nothing unexpected happens, by getting rid of them, my sister will be safe. By the way, when the time comes, pool the money you have on you and use it to improve Old Man Yun’s life a bit. Everyone has a couple thousand yuan on them, which isn’t a small sum in this era."

Everyone was equipped with several thousand yuan in soft currency, which really wasn’t a small amount in the nineties. Though it wasn’t enough to buy a house or a car, it would at least make life easier for Old Man Yun.

This was what one might call a cross-time pension plan, huh? Hehehe.

"It would be quite nice to have a younger brother like you," Qiu Wentian didn’t mind the suggestion, but thinking of something else, she asked, "But by doing this, your life trajectory in this world might change."

From the perspective of causality, Old Man Yun had completely broken down after the incident with Yun Ting.

He had come to the welfare home with the help of kind-hearted friends.

Later at the doorstep of the welfare home, Old Man Yun found Li Changhe, who was only a few months old and wrapped in clothes.

As a result, Li Changhe met He Feng in the welfare home, encountered Xiao Nan in elementary school, and then expanded his circle of friends to what it is today.

If Yun Ting avoided death and Old Man Yun didn’t enter the welfare home,

The life of this world’s Li Changhe could undergo a radical change.

He may never meet his current friends, and of course, there’s a high probability that he would have just frozen to death on the welfare home doorstep.

That’s the so-called butterfly effect.

"Changing the plot doesn’t affect reality. Otherwise, we would all be living under Emperor Qin or Li Er by now," Li Changhe spread his hands, "And besides, I can’t just watch my sister be killed, right? We’re players now, we’ve got to be clear about that. Otherwise, Mr. All-known wouldn’t have come to this task. For him, changing this event is tantamount to pulling out a new outcome. Who knows, the him in this world might not have been born at all."

"Right, I was just thinking aloud," Qiu Wentian thought for a moment and then asked, "By the way, Archer, how old are you?"

"Based on when I was found, I should be nineteen years old."

"Then there’s still more than a year until you were found. So, calculating the time, haven’t your parents even conceived you yet?"

"Hard to say, actually I was already several months old by the time my old man found me," Li Changhe spread his hands, "So my actual birthday is probably at least half a year earlier."

"More than a year later, that’s about half a year... doesn’t that mean it coincides with our current time point?" Qiu Wentian calculated and asked, "Why don’t we check out the pregnant women in Yanyun who just got pregnant? We might be able to find your parents. We’re not short on money now... if we look for a husband with the surname Li, the probability is much higher."

At Qiu Wentian’s words, Li Changhe’s expression flickered, then he slowly shook his head and said, "It’s not worth caring about, I already have Old Man Yun. I don’t need any... Anyway, let’s drop this depressing talk. Now, we just wait for them to get out of school, follow them to find this so-called Alon, and capture them all in one fell swoop. Then we can participate in the task. Mr. All-known and his group are probably already starting on their tasks, we can’t keep them waiting... and I’ve already figured out a way to do it without being traced by anyone. Of course, if there is a Transcendent involved, just to be safe, I’ll need your help."

Compared to abandoning his own parents, what Li Changhe cared more about was the current task.

He wasn’t going to underestimate the enemy. Although his attributes were high and he often overpowered his opponents,

facing a Transcendent whose depth was unknown, for safety’s sake, he would go with Qiu Wentian.

Two players with immense close combat prowess should be able to hammer the opponent to death one way or another.

"Sure thing, no big deal," Qiu Wentian boasted like a gang leader, hands on her hips and nodding, "Watch me punch him out!"

Li Changhe clapped his hands and laughed, "Powerful!"
