Chapter 400: Changes that Seem to Have No Impact

[“Do you want to use your cell phone alarm to remind yourself ten years from now?”]

Just when Ojiaou was about to set the alarm for ten years from now, a teasing voice suddenly came from the ceiling.

Li Zheng floated in front of Ojiaou with his left hand holding his face, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Ojiaou's flip phone and said: [“I’m not looking down on you, do you really think this phone can be used for ten years? You should have a smart phone in the future, right?”]

[“…”]Ojiaou looked at Li Zheng speechlessly and said: [“So what? I don’t have anything else that can remind me to do this in ten years.”]

Although Ojiaou herself knew that this flip phone could not be used for ten years and would probably be eliminated soon, she really had no more suitable tools.

At most, she would not change her phone for ten years. The girl felt that she still had this little patience.

[“You have it, and it’s much safer than a cell phone.”]

Saying this, Li Zheng tapped Ojiaou’s forehead, and then a gentle force was injected into her brain.

This power... to be precise, it should be a certain authority. It called up another thing in Ojiaou's body - the Veins interface bound to her soul suddenly appeared in front of Ojiaou.

["Is this... Veins?"]

Ojiaou looked at the Veins interface in front of her in confusion. Li Zheng's authority made her interface move by itself, and a "timed alarm" window suddenly popped up.

Li Zheng thoughtfully set the timed task to today ten years later, and Ojiaou now only needs to click it.

["Compared to a mobile phone that can be lost at any time, isn't it better to have Veins bound to your soul?"] Li Zheng explained: ["What's more, you can't not change your smartphone in the future."]

Ojiaou looked at the Veins alarm clock that started counting, and the expression on her face changed again and again.

【"What's wrong? Your expression seems to be wrong?"】

【"Li Zheng, answer me a question."】Ojiaou took a deep breath, and then carefully asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: 【"Will Veins disappear?"】

【"Look at what you asked."】Li Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled: 【"How could it disappear? I compiled the source code using the connection language, set up on the server built by wandering particles and fusion tachyons, and used the ritual channel to connect the basic dimension... It is based on the basic rules of each world."】

【"Even if..."】The girl asked with a heart: 【"Even if Li Zheng disappears, it will not disappear?!"】

The smile on Li Zheng's face was restrained, and he opened his eyes that were originally squinted.

If a pair of eyes as dark as a black hole were staring at Ojiaou, it made Ojiaou feel like a detailed anatomical diagram in front of Li Zheng at this moment.

No secrets, no escape.

【Wrong question! 】The girl was scared at the first moment. She felt that she might have accidentally touched a certain scale of Li Zheng.

But she did not regret it, because she would need to get the answer to this question sooner or later.

Just when the pressure was about to reach the peak, Li Zheng suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled like a cat teasing a mouse and said: ["See how scared you are, I'm just making sure you are not controlled by something unclean."]

["Huh... is that so?"]

Ojiaou breathed a sigh of relief. The girl who felt stressed just now felt relieved at this moment, as if everything before was just an illusion.

This feeling was strange, but Ojiaou did not hate it, and even felt a little good - just like holding your breath to the limit and taking a long breath of the cleanest air.

Seeing that Ojiaou's heart had been relieved, Li Zheng continued: ["No, it is my creation, but it belongs to this world completely, so even if I disappear, Veins will not disappear."]

["Yes... I'm sorry for asking a difficult question for you."]

Ojiaou lowered his head, and regret finally appeared on his face.

Li Zheng pretended to be serious and said: [“You are just making things difficult for me?”]

[“Ah…”]

A knife hit Ojiaou on the forehead—it was obviously a knife from a spirit, but Ojiaou felt a little pain, [“More importantly, you obviously didn’t think about it when you asked this question—did you see that the program stopped running when the procedural designer switched to selling sweet potatoes? Now that your brain is not sealed, use it well for me.”]

Ojiaou stuck out her tongue. Li Zheng’s words suppressed her anxiety.

【“But I am willing to believe you, Li Zheng.”】Ojiaou pressed the “Start” button of the alarm clock, and time began to tick by second by second. 【“Although I have never been able to figure out your purpose, I believe you will win, and you... will not leave.”】

【“This sentence is redundant.”】A drop of simulated sweat flowed down Li Zheng’s face: 【“Don’t set up flags for me... I will shorten my life if I hear too much of this stuff...”】

After Ojiaou pressed the start button of the alarm clock, she finally raised her head and looked at Fudo Yusei in front of her—the other party was looking at her with a strange expression at this time.

Although he talked a lot with Li Zheng, because the speed of consciousness communication was extremely fast, in the eyes of the onlookers who did not know the truth, Ojiaou suddenly cried and laughed at the phone, and after changing his expression several times, he put the phone away.

Then, Ojiaou looked at Yuxing with a serious face - the expression changed so quickly that Yuxing wondered if the "grandmaster" in front of him had a serious illness.

Even in the near future where Yuxing lived and short videos were popular, it was rare to see someone so nervous about a phone - not to mention that Ojiaou's phone was still a flip phone, and theoretically it should not have the function of watching short videos.

Ojiaou suddenly reached out and touched the lightning scar on Yuxing's forehead; the scar felt like ordinary skin, which should be the technology of the future.

Yuxing was frightened and took a step back. He also subconsciously touched the lightning scar on his forehead, and then looked at Ojiaou with a blank face.

Ojiaou suppressed her excitement and said calmly: "It seems that I may really have the power to change the future."

People here seem to have forgotten that Yuxing's scar was on the right half of his face "before".

The moment Ojiaou pressed the alarm to "start", the future seemed to have really changed a little bit, seemingly without any impact.

"Ms. Shimada, you..." Yuxing was a little surprised, why the Grand Master suddenly said this.

"Nothing." Ojiaou lightly passed the topic, and then she said to Yuxing seriously: "Don't move Yuxing, are you willing to believe me?"

"Believe... what do you mean?"

Yuxing was a little puzzled.

"I will not give up to save my loved ones." Ojiaou said firmly: "But thank you for your reminder, I will fight to the end with the doomsday you mentioned."
