"Maybe one day, you’ll bring Little Tree back."
In a world completely devoid of the supernatural, a purely realistic world, Wen Chaohua could say these words only because of his trust in his younger brother.
He believed in everything his brother wove together, such an absurd conversation, he earnestly thought about it, responded to it, rather than choosing to think his brother had lost his mind, which made Wen Xishu once again feel that having such a brother was truly great.
He could negate his original world for his brother.
And it was precisely because of this that Wen Chaohua helped Wen Xishu walk out of a brief confusion.
"I understand now."
"I must firmly believe that the world I live in is the only real world."
Wen Chaohua smiled:
"So, the Otherworldly Little Tree is a great adventurer. But it seems you’ll be leaving soon, right?"
Wen Xishu was also quite reluctant.
The time was almost up, and he had to leave as well.
There were still the third round, the fourth round... who knows how many rounds of challenges ahead.
He had to face other various versions of "me" as well.
"At least... at least I know now, what kind of world I should strive for. Big brother, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The brothers bid farewell to each other.
Wen Xishu’s figure soon began to disappear.
Much later, Wen Chaohua stood in place.
His team members arrived one after another.
"Captain Wen, all the robbers have been transported into the car. This group was not easy to deal with; they could be described as pure evil."
"Some of them were even from the army before. Top-tier skills... your brother is really strong."
"By the way, where’s Little Tree?"
Wen Chaohua turned his back to his team, his gaze somewhat vacant. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses:
"He’s gone to do greater things."
...
...
Deceit Tower, the rest area.
Wen Xishu had returned to that familiar room. The chaotic scenery outside the window remained the same; he gazed outside and fell into thought.
The 045 Blue Star Wen Xishu had not yet returned.
Wen Xishu suddenly thought of Capricorn.
This time, it seemed to involve smuggling. He had unexpectedly gone to another world.
Could it be related to Capricorn this time?
Or perhaps, with so many "me" gathered together, it transcended the power of constellations?
He wanted to inquire with the Heart Inquiry or the guide. But clearly, his journey had not yet ended.
Then, he heard a rather unexpected voice.
"Ah! I’m back! My gosh, I’m back!"
The somewhat blustering voice of the 045 Blue Star version of Wen Xishu reached his ears.
Wen Xishu even thought he might have misheard.
He turned his head and found that Blue Star Wen Xishu had already appeared.
The otherworldly me’s reappearance surprised Wen Xishu internally, but also brought him some joy.
"I didn’t expect you to survive in my world?"
This was a compliment; Wen Xishu truly hadn’t expected that the otherworldly me, someone without superpowers or supernatural experience...
Could survive what he considered the most challenging journey.
Blue Star Wen Xishu patted his face to assure himself it wasn’t a dream, nor was it a spiritual invasion manufactured by some outsider being...
He squatted down on the ground, somewhat exhausted:
"Gosh, I really came back. I stayed there for an entire day, you must have waited a long time?"
Wen Xishu shook his head.
He was not surprised; obviously, with such special tasks, the flow of time was different for everyone.
He spent a few hours in the 045 universe.
While the 045 Wen Xishu spent about a day in his own universe.
But the two returned to the mission area almost simultaneously.
"Remarkable, honestly, the fact that you survived and came back really surprised me, very impressive, not typical of the otherworldly me."
Wen Xishu truly admired him.
The 046 Blue Star version of Wen Xishu was quite excited at this moment:
"Hehehe, to be honest, your world this time was very similar to the content of a novel I read, so I just copied it."
"And, you were right. Although that night was terrifying, if you befriend the supernatural, fool the supernatural... it seems you won’t be scared by them."
"It was a lot of fun, but truthfully, I don’t dare to experience it a second time. I want to return to my original world."
Though Blue Star Wen Xishu wore a smile, it was evident that he was still quite shaken.
He kept searching for topics to discuss:
"By the way, you went to my world, it must have been roughly like a vacation, right?"
Wen Xishu did not deny:
"Yes, your world is beautiful..."
Blue Star Wen Xishu said:
"It was probably during that kidnapping, right? My family was so worried at the time; those people were actually aiming to seek revenge on my brother."
"I also regret not performing well back then..."
"But for you, there should have been no problem, right? Tell me about it?"
Wen Xishu did not hide anything and recounted his experience of being a battle wolf truthfully.
Blue Star Wen Xishu listened with great excitement:
"How is this any different from cheating? Too bad... I didn’t get to see my brother’s expression back then."
Wen Xishu said:
"Your brother was calm, calmer than I imagined; he recognized me at a glance... not as you."
This was indeed surprising to Blue Star Wen Xishu.
"My brother... was actually calm?"
"Yes, he believed in the things you said; he thought the world you longed for truly existed."
When he first saw Wen Chaohua’s reaction, Wen Xishu was surprised.
Now, Blue Star Wen Xishu was equally surprised.
"So... my brother actually believed me. I always thought he was just playing along with me out of high emotional intelligence."
Wen Xishu said:
"You have a very good brother."
At this moment, a strong desire surged within Blue Star Wen Xishu to return home.
