Chapter 1277: Chapter 2 Can Talk (Asking for Monthly Tickets~)_2

But now, he fully understood!

“[Only after the Millennium Stakes are driven, can history be locked, using Forced Evasion to protect the established history from being altered by Space-Time Travelers! This action to maintain the stability of the world line, and even directly locking the world line… is called History Lock.]”

“So to speak, even if one uses ordinary Space-Time Particles to travel back to the present time of 1952, it is the same as the Entangled State of Time-Space Particles, it wouldn’t trigger Forced Evasion, not constrained by the Space-time Law, thus allowing history and the timeline to be altered, until… the first Millennium Stake is driven in.”

He took a deep breath.

How ingenious.

So… it really was just like he had suspected before, everything started because of the Millennium Stakes! The Millennium Stake is the beginning of it all!

Then.

In 1952, this first stake nailed into the river of time, locking history, on what day was it driven in?

Lin Xian looked serious, swiftly walking towards CC in the corridor.

“You, what are you doing?”

CC looked warily at this self-talking, erratic man, sometimes shocked, sometimes serious:

“Is there something wrong with your brain?”

“CC, I want to ask you something, something very important.”

Lin Xian said solemnly:

“How old are you now.”

“19 years old.”

“Isn’t your 20th birthday soon? In the next month or two.”

?

CC blinked, somewhat confused:

“How did you know that? Hey… you really are quite odd, knowing my childhood name CC, knowing my birthday… don’t tell me, the girl you know who looks like me also has her birthday on December 24th.”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“That’s not it, your birthdays are definitely different. Oh oh, so you were born on December 24th, Christmas Eve, a nice day.”

“No.”

CC also shook her head:

“I actually don’t know my real birthday at all, as I just told you, I was abandoned by my biological parents, left at the doorstep of the old lady’s welfare home.”

“The note they left only had my name, but no birth date, so the old lady just took the day she found me as my birthday… The old lady was very kind, even though funding for the welfare home was always tight, she still insisted on celebrating every child’s birthday.”

“So, December 24th isn’t my real birthday. But what does it matter? A birthday is just a date, doesn’t matter which day it’s on, as long as it’s celebrated once a year, age grows by one year, it’s the same.”

…

Listening to CC’s nonchalant reasoning.

Lin Xian sighed inwardly.

It’s different.

Completely different.

For anyone else, CC’s reasoning would indeed make sense, it wouldn’t matter what day the birthday falls on, whether celebrated earlier or later, it wouldn’t really matter to anyone.

However.

The fate of the girls of the Millennium Stakes means they will not see the sun on their 20th birthday.

Now this is troubling.

Lin Xian thought to himself.

CC doesn’t know her real birthday, which obviously means it’s impossible to estimate when she will turn into Blue Stardust and disappear.

This is far too passive.

The scope has to be narrowed down.

“CC, did the old lady ever mention what month she found you?”

“How could anyone determine that.”

CC recalled:

“The lady just said I was very small at the time, but didn’t look newborn, should not have been a month old, or maybe I was already a month old… Every child’s height and weight at birth varies, just by appearance can’t determine.”

“That’s true.”

Lin Xian said:

“That means from today, October 28th, until December 24th, every day in the next two months could be your real birthday.”

“You’re so boring.”

CC snorted lightly:

“Is it necessary to dwell on this matter?”

“And as I just said, the lady did find me on December 24th alright, but at that time I had already been born for a while, about a month I think.”

“So theoretically, if you calculate as if I was already a month old back then, my real birthday should be in November.”

“But enough, let’s stop discussing this, you really are strange… Why do you ask about my birthday? What do you really want?”

Lin Xian didn’t say anything.

Because…

For this CC, turning into Blue Stardust and dissipating, is something that will inevitably happen, and within the coming month, he didn’t want to add to her worries by telling her.

Moreover.

Even if he truthfully told CC about the Millennium Stakes, this CC wouldn’t believe him.

From the look in her eyes now, he sensed wariness, suspicion, a desire to distance… she’s an orphan herself, wandering the slums of Brooklyn, with high vigilance; now encountering a person like him, with strange words and unusual behavior, she would naturally have no sense of trust.

Therefore, on this matter, he decided not to say much more to CC.

To avoid saying too much, really making her suspicious, or consider him a bad guy, turning away and leaving… he would really fail and lose track of the Millennium Stake.

The current situation is–

From today onwards, every day holds the possibility for CC to turn into Blue Stardust and dissipate.

Every day could be the day.

So.

Must not leave her side.

In this era without any portable communication devices, once she leaves his sight, she might be gone forever.

If he misses the initial event of the Millennium Stake being driven, all truths and secrets might just slip through his fingers, forever shrouded in mystery, missing the final chance to save everything.
