Without Mentor Hong's detailed explanation, it's hard to imagine how tortuous and bizarre the course of this story is.

So...... Let's go back to the beginning and take a different perspective on the flow of this whole event.

In 2001, the Celestial Empire superhero, codenamed "Ghost", was sent to the Furry Bear Country by her superior, the Red Mechanic, on a special secret mission: to bring an existing supernatural ability back to the Celestial Empire from the Furry Bear Nation's supernatural ability database.

During this mission, she ran into a strange guy - this guy had a special ability, and she felt an inexplicable familiarity from this ability.

Because of this, she became interested in him and came into contact with him, and the two reached a cooperation agreement, and with the help of this guy, he successfully stole the extraordinary ability codenamed "Sea Emperor", and then assisted him to monitor the movements of three supposedly "suspicious" characters.

Out of unnecessary curiosity, she had unwanted contact with the most vigilant of the three, and, through this contact, she unexpectedly discovered a startling truth.

These three people...... Including the "partner" who asked her to spy on the three men, in essence, returning to the future to this time, trying to change ...... Or to maintain the existence of a piece of history.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely a new experience that no superhero has ever experienced in his life, and at first, the ghost herself seems to feel the same way, until she realizes that the guy who should have been in touch with her has suddenly disappeared without a trace, and ...... On his body, he also carried the key props he needed for this mission.

Her mission...... Failed.

As a brilliant field officer, she knew that such a failure was absolutely unforgivable, and she was also well aware that even if she explained the reasons for her failure to her superiors, she would never get the trust she deserved—after all, it was an almost unbelievable thing in itself.

And that means...... After the implementation of the Savior's plan, she will no longer be able to become a savior, but will completely lose her memories of the past and live a chaotic life as an ordinary person.

Even though in this era, the vast majority of superheroes prefer to choose this kind of life, but for the "ghost", the reason why she chose to carry out this task is precisely to avoid this situation.

So, when she noticed that her "future self" had attacked her other two companions and entered the rift, she made a desperate decision.

When the captive of the Furry Bear Kingdom threw the male of the trio into the temporal rift, the ghost attacked her and entered the temporal rift in her place.

Her purpose is actually very simple, that is, to find a way to change this period of history, or to make it worse...... Find that guy and get what you want back from him.

However, it is clear that she seems to have come to the wrong time through the rift, which leads to the fact that when she finds her goal, she realizes that this guy may not know anything about that past history.

"Be careful here."

While everyone was listening intently, Mentor Red interrupted his statement slightly with a light cough.

"If we call the correct time when everything has not yet happened as the 'main timeline', then the ghost from the main world enters at this time is 'timeline A'."

"Timeline A?"

As the person concerned, Yi Cheng quickly understood what Mentor Red meant.

"That's ...... The timeline when I lost my memory? ”

"Bingo!"

Mentor Red snapped his fingers, and then continued into storytelling mode without a beak before Yi Cheng could ask questions.

"We don't know exactly what happened during this time, but, according to my speculation, after realizing that he was unable to achieve his goal, and even because he had no way to return to the timeline he belonged to, the ghost chose to give up for a while, and had his own life in this timeline......"

Although this may sound like a half-thing, it is not too bad for the ghost to stay in the timeline of the superhero's legitimate existence, but unfortunately, her peaceful life here did not last long.

Because...... The collapse of the timeline.

There is no doubt that no one knows the reason for the collapse of the timeline better than the ghost himself, who is in this world, and she has apparently studied theories such as time travel in depth, and because of this, when someone notices the precursor of the collapse of the time flow in this timeline, the ghost himself even notices it before him.

Because of this, when Isei finds this time machine of the time stream and chooses to go back in time, the ghost also makes a second big decision without hesitation.

She wants ...... Save the world.

It's not the responsibility of being a superhero, it's because ...... In this world, she already has people and things that she cherishes.

The ghost who returned to 2001 was to find the three "future visitors" who had just come to this world, and she soon discovered that the "self" at this time was not the ontology but only the state of "projection", so, after finding an appropriate opportunity, the ghost attacked "herself" and replaced it, and became the "mediator" of this time.

This is done for one purpose, and that is to ...... She tried to find a way to remind her of what might happen next when her "past self" tried to make contact with her, but it was clearly in vain.

After realizing that what they have done does not change the past, the mediator ...... It was the ghost of this time that attacked the two protagonists at the last moment, and re-entered the rift in space-time.

"And this time, the timeline she arrived at, we call it ...... World Line B. ”

At this point, Mentor Red finally had a chance to breathe a long sigh of relief, and then looked around at the stunned crowd.

"So...... So far, I think I've probably made it clear what happened before. ”

“……”

No one interjected, because everyone knew that the Red Mentor's narration began from here to really get to the final point.

The ghost of coming to this future...... Or the "mediator", soon discovered something that surprised her - the evil villain "Brooch" of this era was actually left in the "past" because she was attacked.

There is no doubt that this is an unexpected result of the "Savior Plan", a major event that happened at that time, but it also happened to give her another identity that she could use to return to the past, so this time, she returned to that past time for the third time as a "brooch", along with the evil villains.

"I see......"

Yi Cheng had related doubts before, that is, "why can a brooch with only paper-level strength resist the impact of the space-time rift", and now, all this has finally been answered.

Phantom...... Mediator ...... Brooch......

With a triple identity, he shuttles repeatedly in the triple timeline, with seemingly unrelated deeds, but he supports the context of this triple timeline.

It is undeniable that no matter what the original goal was, at this point, even Yi Cheng has to admit that this woman definitely lives up to her name as a "former superhero", even if her actions have had a significant impact on the whole world, but ......

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Yi Cheng suddenly remembered something terrible.

That's the "math problem" that Mentor Red proposed at the beginning - from beginning to end, how many ghosts, how many brooches, how many mediators?

According to the context of the events derived from the analysis and summary of Mentor Hong, from beginning to end, all the "three people" that Yi Cheng came into contact with assumed that all of them were just "illusions" and "illusions" created by the same person when he frequently traveled through time and space, then ...... Today, this conclusion has produced an extremely significant contradiction.

"The ...... we're in right now Which timeline is it? ”

"Oops, oops, ......"

Hearing Yi Cheng's question, Mentor Hong covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Now that everything has been settled, then, theoretically, this timeline should certainly be...... The main timeline is up. ”

"In that case......"

Yi Cheng looked at Mentor Hong with a calm face.

"So, can you tell me something?"

He pointed to the side, the "mediator" who seemed to know nothing about everything, and stepped on the floor under his feet again.

"If everything is settled, then ...... The 'mediator' in front of me, and ...... The 'brooch' that was kept in the underground warehouse, two instances that existed at the same time...... What's going on?! ”
