Chapter 98: Transition Chapter (Optional to Purchase)
[Tongtong, can I ask you a question?] There was a hint of confusion in Qi An's voice.
[What is it?] The system answered him immediately.
[Why did you choose me to be a transmigrator back then? Why did you let me enter the Transmigration Bureau?] Qi An thought again about when he had just died. At that time, he had just died and saw the system. He hadn't raised any questions—he had directly agreed to the system's invitation. [I didn't seem to have anything special back then. Tongtong, why did you choose me?]
[Because... what?] Looking at its host, the system immediately tried to recall the situation back then. [The headquarters arranged it. They told me to come invite you to be my host. An'an, is something wrong?]
Qi An didn't answer it. He closed his umbrella and placed it on the ground. While pressing the confirmation button to exit, he looked up at Lian Ruoyu and asked, "You said that in my world, you exist there too, right?"
"Mm." The young man in front of him began to slowly fade into a phantom. Everyone was shocked watching this scene, but Lian Ruoyu, who was closest to Qi An, seemed to have anticipated this. The smile at the corner of his lips didn't diminish even a little.
[An'an, what's wrong?] The system looked at the thin young man and couldn't help but ask again.
[In my world, he exists there. Not just now, but it was the same when I was in the Transmigration Bureau.] During the process of transmigrating, Qi An rubbed his temples.
In every world, there seemed to be someone quietly caring for him.
After arriving at the Transmigration Bureau, he had visited the two previous worlds, and in each world, that person's existence could be found.
Whether it was the general who had become a vengeful ghost waiting for him, or Lian Ruoyu, who couldn't advance in cultivation anymore yet still guarded the entire world for his sake.
This wasn't coincidence, but...
In every world he had been to, there was such a person.
When he was at the Transmigration Bureau, for the sake of higher task evaluation ratings and faster efficiency, he had left every world resolutely. In order to complete the tasks, he had almost... used any means necessary.
But Qi An suddenly realized that perhaps in every world, there was someone who would suffer for a long time because of him.
[Since I died, someone has been accompanying me all along.]
Qi An looked at the familiar transmigration hall and sat in his seat waiting for Zhang Zhaoqi. When he saw that young man come out, Qi An walked over. "Can I enter the Transmigration Bureau because of you?"
Everything was too coincidental.
In every world, he would encounter that person.
And this person was related to his past life.
"Mm." After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhaoqi still nodded. "...I had something happen back then, so I didn't make it in time to get back when you had the car accident. I thought of a compromise—to let you enter here."
"And then?" Qi An lowered his gaze.
"I know you hate me. I shouldn't have appeared in front of you, but I... can't do it. So... I sealed my own memories. That way, I wouldn't recognize you, you wouldn't recognize me, yet I could still accompany you." Zhang Zhaoqi's words came out very, very slowly. "It should have developed like this, but... I was very greedy. I wanted you to see my existence."
He was truly too much. His love was too possessive. He had entered Qi An's world without his knowledge and firmly taken root.
So, what happened after entering the Transmigration Bureau made sense.
The promised vacation worlds all turned into horror worlds, and in every world, there was someone with a very high presence.
"An'an, are you willing to be with me?" Zhang Zhaoqi suddenly said very gently.
He had sealed all his memories, not just those fragments from the various worlds, but including those of this main body.
He had always thought he was just a transmigrator until he saw Qi An. The moment he saw the young man, an emotion stirred in Zhang Zhaoqi's heart. And after completing each world, some of his memories would gradually restore.
Now he understood why he had done all this.
—I want to get to know him again. We'll have a brand new first meeting, get to know each other again, accompany each other... without all those unpleasant things.
It's just a pity that he still couldn't hide his identity.
"Mm." The young man looked at him for a long time before giving a soft agreement.
Zhang Zhaoqi was stunned. His eyes, dark as a deep pool, lit up for the first time, as if there were stars glittering within them.
Fortunately, his young man still agreed to him.
