The candy fell out of the mouth of Fireworks, and she exclaimed, "What... what is going on?"
Color Ribbon frowned, "This is really strange."
Yan Qing, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, became confused again. "What... what happened to this alley? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The three turned back, their heavy gazes resting on Yan Qing.
At the N City Experimental Base, it was ten in the morning.
"Alright, let's analyze this again. The only difference between us and you is that you walked through that mysterious alley, which allowed you to enter the Ability User's Mindset. However, when we came out, that alley disappeared. So, our preliminary judgment is that this alley might be concealed by the Ability User during the day and only reveals itself at night. This means if we go back tomorrow and walk through the path that Yan Qing took, we should also be able to enter the Ability User's Mindset."
Fireworks tilted her head, her twin ponytails swaying to one side. "Sister Color Ribbon, I still don't quite understand. If that's the case, then why doesn't this Ability User conceal it at night as well? Why leave this loophole?"
"That's because..."
Box interrupted, "It's because maintaining the Mindset's Psychic Ability consumes a lot of energy and can easily lead to the collapse of one's illusion."
"I see, but how does that relate to the alley in front of Tao Residence? Why isn't the loophole inside Tao Residence?"
Blinking her eyes, Fireworks continued to press for answers.
"Um, that's because..."
Yan Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Regardless of what it is, something that happened decades ago is why this Ability User is unwilling to leave here. We just need to explore this Ability User's past."
Color Ribbon, Box, and Fireworks turned to Yan Qing and asked in unison, "How do we find out?"
Decades-old events—how were they supposed to uncover them?
The group exchanged glances; together they barely surpassed a century in age. How could they possibly know about a story that took place nearly a hundred years ago?
N City First Hospital, 3 PM.
“Hello, are you Tao Zhe?”
Tao Zhe slowly propped himself up, reached for the glasses beside him, and once the blurred figures in front of him became clear, he said, “I am. May I ask who you are?”
Yan Qing took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. Tao Zhe raised his hand to take it and saw the inscription on the card.
“A District Ability Research Institute, Yan Qing, contact number: 167****6754.”
Tao Zhe adjusted his glasses and asked, “What brings you to me? I don’t recall knowing anyone from a Psychic Ability research institute.”
Yan Qing replied calmly, “Mr. Tao Zhe, the report you filed earlier has been fully handed over to us for handling. Although this may come as a surprise to you, we must inform you that the person who appeared in your ancestral home is an Ability User. We need to investigate why she hasn’t left this place, so we ask for your cooperation in our investigation.”
Tao Zhe seemed quite astonished. “An Ability User? Shouldn’t she be a ghost?”
“Yes, we are not deceiving you. If you wish to resolve this issue quickly, please cooperate with us actively, Mr. Tao Zhe.”
Yanhua stood beside Yan Qing with a lollipop in her mouth and her hands in her pockets. Her youthful face made Tao Zhe skeptical.
Tao Zhe glanced at Yanhua and then turned to Yan Qing, asking, “Is she also with you...?”
“Yes. Now, Mr. Tao Zhe, do you know anything about your ancestor Tao Yiran? This would greatly aid our investigation.”
Yan Qing interrupted Tao Zhe’s words; it was crucial to gather information about Tao Yiran and Jiang Wenyu from him.
Tao Zhe sat up straight, his voice rising involuntarily. “How do you know my grandfather? What does he have to do with this?”
Yan Qing replied, “The Ability User residing in your ancestral home is named Jiang Wenyu. Do you know her?”
“Jiang Wenyu? I don’t know her. What does this have to do with my grandfather?”
"Do you not recognize him?"
"I truly do not know him. You haven't told me how this relates to my grandfather."
Tao Zhe's expression showed no signs of pretense, and his frantic movements were very genuine. But if that were the case, then what about the invitation he had seen earlier?
The wedding of Tao Yiran and Jiang Wenyu appeared in the Ability User's Mindset, which could only mean it was something the Ability User either cherished or feared the most. Therefore, the events occurring in that Mindset must have happened in reality. However, based on Tao Zhe's reaction, he did not recognize anyone named Jiang Wenyu. So what was the deal with the wedding invitation that appeared in the Mindset?
As everyone fell into contemplation, a voice came from behind the box. It was quiet but just loud enough for Tao Zhe to hear.
"Did your grandfather ever get divorced?"
Tao Zhe looked past Yan Qing at the person behind him, his face filled with disbelief. His voice trembled with anxiety, "How... how do you know that? Have you been investigating me?"
The box's calm face showed no signs of emotional fluctuation. "If that's the case, could you tell us what happened before your grandfather got divorced?"
Seeing they had finally found a breakthrough, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The box felt a bit relieved as well, but when it turned to look, it saw the colorful ribbons wearing an inscrutable smile. Leaning closer, they whispered, "You really understand this."
The box responded with confusion: "???"
