If you could do it all over again, what would you do?
With all his memories intact, Lu Mingfei transmigrated back to Cassell College in 2010. Ye Sheng was still alive. Lao Tang was still the goofy online friend who only knew how to play StarCraft. Xia Mi had yet to weep in the depths of the subway, and Erii was still wearing that white dress, waiting for him on a rainy night in Tokyo.
This time, he would no longer be the hapless kid who just took hit after hit.
At Beijing's subway station, he held Xia Mi's hand and told her, "You aren't a monster," keeping the Dragon King sisters from turning against each other.
At Tokyo's Red Well, he severed Wang Jiang's control over their minds, persuading the Genji brothers to lay down their weapons.
In the host club at Takamagahara, he took Erii's hand and said, "I do," with everyone there to witness it.
But fate's price had never gone away.
On another timeline, the future world had already collapsed. Lu Mingze had possessed Lu Mingfei's body and was fleeing alone through the wasteland of Tokyo. The New Secret Party ruled the world, the Black King had awakened, and all his companions were dead. The only thing keeping him going was talking across time to his older brother in the past.
"Brother, hurry. I can't hold on much longer."
When every tragedy of the past had been rewritten, the two timelines would finally converge. In a mental space, Lu Mingfei saw Lu Mingze, covered in wounds. The little devil smiled and said, "Brother, you're finally happy."
Then his figure faded away.
"This time, no one is allowed to die."
The wind stirred, and it was as if someone answered, "Okay, brother."
