Despite the astonishing results of the divination, the winter day still looks calm.

"The other me, can you continue divination?" She asked.

"Of course, what do you want to divination?"

"Please help me divination again, what will happen if I destroy all the test data at once now, and pretend that I never found 'twilight'?"

"Okay."

The lord dipped his fingertips in "ink" and wrote what Dongbai said on a new white piece of paper, and the divination results soon came out.

"The result is still the same, nothing changes, everyone will die......" At this moment, even she was surprised: "What the hell did you invent?!" ”

"It's just a new material, and it's a bit special, but I can't think of why it's destroying humanity." Dongyang replied, "The other me, can I ...... again?"

"Tell me, what else do you want to divination?"

"What happens if I 'give' my work to my professor and make others think that he is the inventor of 'Twilight'?"

The results of the divination came out soon - still unchanged from the previous two.

"What else do you want to divinate this time?" The city lord took the initiative to ask, "Such a big pot of ink is enough for you to divinate many times." ”

But this time, Dongtian did not rush to say a new hypothesis, she pondered for a while before she said:

"Please help me divination: Will humanity perish in about two years? No other conditions apply. ”

This time, the result of the divination was only a witch character, and the lord of the city took a look at it and told her, "Yes." ”

Winter Day: "That's right! ”

Castle Lord: "Huh? ”

"I mean, I'm afraid that humanity will go extinct in two years for some other reason, and it has little to do with whether or not I invented 'twilight' or what I do next. Well...... Please help me with another divination. ”

"Didn't you say that no matter what you do, humanity will go extinct? What else is there to divination? The city lord asked curiously.

"I don't care if the human race is extinct or not, I only care about my brother." Dongday's tone was still calm, "Please help me divination: what would happen if I told him 'Dusk' right now and let him decide how to use the results?" ”

"Didn't I say you'd die?" The city lord muttered, but still wrote down the content of the divination on paper according to Dongday's request.

The answer quickly emerged, and the city lord glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! ”

"How?" Winter Day asked.

"You will die, and humanity will perish, but ...... Your brother can live. ”

Winter Day didn't seem to be too surprised by this result: "What about time? When will I die? When will humanity perish? ”

“…… You will die in six days, and humanity will perish in about two years. ”

"I see, another me, please give me back control of your body for the time being."

"What are you going to do?"

"Send a message to my brother, and I'll tell him the 'dusk' message tonight."

"But then you'll be dead in six days!"

"Even if I didn't do that, I would have died in two years, and now this will at least keep my brother alive." Winter Day is so calm that it seems to be talking about something that has nothing to do with him.

“……”

Cheng Zhu opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't find a reason to refute it at all, if all irrational factors were abandoned, Dongday's approach was undoubtedly correct, not to mention, this was her body, and she had the right to decide her life and death.

After a long silence, the city lord silently relinquished control.

Dong Tian immediately picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Xia Ye: "Brother, can I go home early tonight, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Barely waiting, she received a reply from Summer Night: "Okay, I'll go back now." ”

……

That night, Dongye returned home with the test data and samples of "Dusk", and told Xia Ye that he had synthesized a special new material.

And the lord of the city never reappeared.

Time passed, the sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, 5 days passed, and the people under the rule of "Asia-Pacific Power" ushered in the new year in a peaceful and festive atmosphere.

On January 1st, my brother worked overtime in the company, stayed at home during the winter day, and rarely did not do those data analysis that seemed to be never finished, if the city lord's premonition and divination were not wrong, he would probably die tomorrow.

The girl looked out the window, and as usual, she couldn't help but wonder what she was going to die for.

Sudden illness? But my body is very healthy. Encountered a burglary by a murderer? This kind of thing rarely happens under the rule of "APC". Could it be that a meteorite fell from the sky and just happened to kill him? Emmm……

The phone vibrated suddenly.

It was an unfamiliar number, and she hesitated for a moment and picked it up.

"Miss Winter Day, we have some interest in your new invention. Ah, before I do that, may I introduce myself, I'm a ...... from Company Z."

A few minutes later, Dongday ended the call with the man who claimed to be a "representative of Company Z."

So, is that what it is......

On the premise of knowing that he will die tomorrow, for this sudden variable, Dong Tian easily thinks that this is most likely the cause of his death.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my head.

"Hey!"

It's the lord of the city.

"Ah, you haven't been showing up for the past few days, I thought you were gone." Winter Day said.

"I'm not going to disappear! At least not until you die! ”

"I see, which means that the other me just doesn't want to pay attention to me."

“……”

Dong Tian guessed correctly, the city lord has indeed been angry these days, although she herself doesn't understand why she is like this, but in any case, she will not admit that she ignored Dong Tian because of her anger.

"Don't talk this nonsense, give me the body to use." The lord of the city said.

"What are you going to do?"

"Divination!"

Dongtian didn't ask the city lord what he wanted to divinate again, and happily handed over control of his body.

As soon as he took control, the lord immediately opened Dongday's backpack and found a thermos flask in it—the bottle contained "ink" that had not been used up a few days ago. Then she found a stack of papers and immediately began divination.

"Do you want to divinate whether I should refuse or promise Company Z?" Although Dongtian couldn't read the crooked witch text on the paper, she could guess the city lord's thoughts.

The city lord hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said "um".

"How did it turn out?"

"If you reject Company Z's offer, you'll die tomorrow." As the castle lord answered, the paper showing the results of the divination was also reduced to ashes in the black flames.

"Where's my brother?"

“…… She won't. In addition, humanity will still perish in two years. ”

"Let's do some more divination, what will happen if I promise Company Z."

Even if winter doesn't say it, the city lord is ready to do it. She quickly completed the divination and soon got the answer:

"If you promise them...... You and your brother will both die in about 1 month. Humanity will perish in two years. ”

"Well, that's probably the end of the betrayal of 'Asia-Pacific Power.'" Winter Day was not surprised by this result, "It seems that no matter what, I will die." ”

"I've only done two divinations, so maybe there's something else! For example, for example, ......" the city lord said unwillingly, but "for example" for a long time he didn't come up with a hypothesis.

"For example, if I pretend to promise Company Z, I will tell 'APAC' about this and ask them to find a way to ensure my safety?"

"Ah, yes! Huh......"

"If it were possible, I certainly wouldn't want to die casually." Dongday knew what the city lord was surprised about, and calmly explained, "Let's do divination. ”

"Oh...... Hmmm......"

The results of the divination soon came out: both siblings would die after about half a year. Humanity will perish in two years.

"......" saw the result, and even the city lord felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

On the contrary, Dong Tian took the initiative to speak: "Let's do divination again." If I ......"

Over the next hour, Dong Tian continued to come up with new countermeasures, and the strategies became more and more complicated, until the city lord could no longer understand her train of thought, so he could only write down what Dong Tian said on paper.

But in all cases, both siblings died, and the longest survival time was less than a year.

"That ......" the city lord said suddenly, interrupting the winter day's musings.

"Huh?"

"When we run out of ink, let's go to the lab and make some more, soon."

"No......" Dongyang seemed to smile lightly, "I can't think of any other hypothesis." ”

“…… Oh. ”

The two fell silent, and the lord felt that he was being overwhelmed by a familiar sense of powerlessness, as if she could not save her sister, and now she could only watch the other self go to the end of her death.

Finally, it was the winter day that broke the silence.

"That...... I remember you telling me that my brother crossed into your world and became your sister, right? ”

"She's not mine...... I—I mean...... I don't know if she's my sister or not, but I thought my sister was dead, but I don't know why she came back to life, and then my sister became her ......"

"Hmm."

Winter Day was silent for a while, and then said:

"The other me, can you grant me a request."

"W-What request?"

"When I die tomorrow, when you and my brother return to the world of that witch, can you replace me and be his sister?"
