I looked at the watermelon-sized Dijiang, and my heart was like a cat scratching.

It looked at my phone screen with amusement, and the merman's song echoed between the two of us.

A few minutes ago, I had just finished recording from Youzhen, and through the patterns drawn on the paper spirits, I shuttled under the big tree where the Dijiang River was located in the blink of an eye.

"This thing is amazing," said Dijiang, "and you can listen to it again?"

"Yes, you can listen to it as many times as you like. ”

"Have humans created something good, too," it seemed very happy, its meatball-like body swaying from side to side, "what is this thing that can record music called?"

"Cell phone," I said, "but the main function of this thing is not to record music, if you just talk about music, professional equipment will work better, I heard that it can be comparable to the live experience." ”

"Oh, I'm tempted. ”

"If you help me solve the problem at hand, I might be able to let you experience it. ”

"Oh, that's just the time file being deleted," Di Jiang's tone instantly became cold, "I'm not interested." ”

"But you promised me that if I let you hear the merman's song, you would help me solve the problem of the epidemic. I said.

"When did I promise such a thing?" it turned its face and denied it.

"Well," I rubbed my head speechlessly, "but I'm glad I left the evidence at the time." I turned on my mobile phone to record, and what Di Jiang said at the beginning was played out very clearly.

"Why are you so insidious! I can't see its expression because it has no facial features, but the tone can clearly make up for its angry appearance.

"It's important, I still need to keep an eye on it," I said, "and the deletion of the Time File is such a big thing, are you sure you don't plan to care?"

"It's not the first time that the Time Archive has been deleted, so there's nothing to be nervous about. Dijiang said.

"You've always known that youkai's infectious disease has something to do with the Time Archive?"

"I know, Lu Shu also knows, do you think it's just a coincidence that you went to the time gap so hard?" Di Jiang said, "Don't be naïve, young man, Lu Shu's old fellow, but shrewd, cunning." ”

"Then why didn't she just tell me the answer..."

"Now that you know everything, what's the point of life?" Di Jiang said, "And there are too many useless monsters in the world, and it's not a bad thing to delete more files and a few less useless monsters if you delay for a few days." ”

“... It's also a youkai, so stop hurting each other. ”

"Don't compare me with those low-level monsters, just ask, there are a few monsters who don't respect the name of my Emperor Jiang when they hear it. ”

"Lushu...," I muttered.

Di Jiang didn't speak, it seems that I was right.

"If, as you say, it's not the first time that the Time Archive has been deleted, there should be a solution?" I asked.

"It's not a solution, it's just a matter of reducing some losses," Dijiang said, "The deletion of the Time Archive is irreversible, and it's hard to detect, so there will always be people with bad intentions targeting the Archives, and it's strange that there are such convenient and hidden means not to be targeted." ”

"Knowing that such an important place is not there a guardian?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Then how can you still ..."

"What does it have to do with whether there are guards in the archives or not, and what does it have to do with you as a ghostwriter?" Di Jiang said, "Don't you want to solve the problem of infectious diseases? Now that you know the cause, think about some substantive issues, and don't always worry about things that shouldn't be your concern." ”

“... Well, Paper Spirit tells me that you have the power to control time. ”

That's true. ”

"If you activate the hourglass, is it possible to turn back time. ”

"Thirty minutes at most," Dijiang said, "no matter whether it is suspended or regressed, it will only be thirty minutes at most, and after thirty minutes, time will return to the current moment." ”

"When I was in the Plains of Lushu, she told me that I can't change the trajectory of my life casually, if you turn back time and I change some things, is this considered random interference in other lives?"

"These are originally part of fate," Di Jiang said, "the monsters you meet, the monsters you save, including the monsters you want me to turn back time, are all part of our mutual fate, I am not Lushu, just thirty minutes, how to change the trajectory in a word." ”

"So... Would you like to help me?"

"Let's forget it," Di Jiang's tone was still lukewarm, "Although I don't want to meddle in your boring things at all, but after all, it was Lu Shu who asked you to come to me, if I really turn a blind eye, that guy won't let me go easily, and he will definitely nag the old world... What are you laughing at!"

"Haha, no," I said, "I suddenly feel like you're on good terms." ”

"I'm going to make friends with it," said Dijiang, "I'm not going to make friends with that kind of chattering guy, but the wine there is really good." ”

"But you do seem to be on good terms," I smiled, "then please play for me once, thirty minutes." ”

"There's one more thing I think I should remind you," said Dijiang, "that time will go back to the moment the performance started after the performance, but everything that happens in those thirty minutes will affect the events that follow." ”

“... If I had prevented the time file from being deleted, the epidemic would not have continued, and I would not have come to you, nor would I have encountered a time traveler, nor would I have walked into a time gap, nor would I have encountered a paper spirit. ”

"Well, that's the case, so the guys you meet won't remember you anymore," Dijiang said, "Everything you've experienced in the time gap won't happen, and even then, are you going to turn back time?"

"If that's the case," I laughed, "that would be great." ”

"Huh?" Di Jiang didn't seem to expect me to answer like this.

"In this case, there is no need for the paper spirit to fall asleep because of me, and the innocent little monster will not be deleted from the time file because of my involvement," I said, "Although I still feel a little sorry to lose this experience, there is always a feeling that I will return to the gap in time." ”

"You can't be a fool, right?" if Di Jiang had facial features, his current expression would definitely be disgusted, "You are definitely a fool." ”

"I guess," I said, "I don't have a good conscience." ”

"I'm convinced. Di Jiang spread his wings, the feathers suddenly became slender, the outline of the wings gradually extended, emitting a metallic luster, and after a while, the wings that were originally nothing special turned into a huge harp.

"So you've been hiding your instrument all along!" I exclaimed.

"Ready, it's time to play. ”
