Chapter 353: Chapter 288: What’s the Real Reason? (4400 words)_2

Whoosh!

From the perspective of Zhou Guhua and his wife, they saw Zhou Jiajie’s motion of holding Bao Jie abruptly become empty, as if the thing in his arms had vanished into thin air, and Bao Jie’s figure had already disappeared.

The next second, Zhou Jiajie, having lost his balance, plunged onto the bed. He made no other movement but let out a loud wail, crying as if a dam had burst, tears pouring out uncontrollably.

The couple glanced at each other, tears streaming down the face of Zhou Jiajie’s mother as well, and Zhou Guhua had tears running down his cheeks, too.

The other relatives, hearing the commotion, had gathered at the bedroom door, speechless and shocked at the scene.

That day, it seemed like everyone in Zhou Guhua’s family understood something, something hidden deep within their hearts, and it had fundamentally changed.

…

[Shadowing, Anxiety-Inducing (Low), Completed, gained 100 Different Dimension Energy points.]

Yan Junze, lying on his dormitory bed, suddenly blinked, sitting up to look inward at the mission information that had popped up in his mind.

This “Shadowing” mission originated from Bao Jie’s obsession, and now it abruptly appeared, and after Zhou Guhua and his wife left, in that span of time, it seemed they must have done something, and Zhou Jiajie had finally let go and accepted it.

As the mission information in his mind gradually faded, Yan Junze began to recall the last few months of senior year. Even though he was an interloper in this body, he had still developed some degree of affection for these classmates he often interacted with.

It was inevitable.

Nobody would have anticipated that such a drastic change would happen in less than a year.

At that moment, Yan Junze suddenly had a bizarre thought: what if he activated the Great Rewind, went back to high school, interfered with Bao Jie and Zhou Jiajie earlier on, told Zhou Dali that at the Tianmeng Sports Institute, a girl with long legs, 1.8 meters tall, was waiting for him? Maybe everything could have been different.

Of course, things could change, but then he would have to deal with a multitude of ensuing Butterfly Effects that would need correcting.

The thought was just that, a thought. He couldn’t possibly do that again.

Yan Junze lay back down on the bed, and not long after, Zhao Zheng and He Bishou came back to the dormitory, followed shortly by Huahua.

This guy seemed to have become addicted to teaching Xiang Er; even upon returning to the dorm, he looked like he hadn’t had his fill.

After chatting with his roommates for a bit, Yan Junze decided to go to sleep early.

Just as he had gotten comfortable under the covers, his right hand suddenly went numb, a familiar sensation of numbness overtaking him, stronger than the previous times.

He pulled back the bedding with his left hand, feeling as though his right hand no longer belonged to him, and when he looked down, he abruptly did a double-take; for a moment, it seemed he could no longer see where his right hand was.

Blinking hard, he finally saw his right hand was fine, inside the bedding. Perhaps it had just been an optical illusion.

As he was thinking, his right hand again became ethereal, then reappeared solidly. This time, the numb sensation was even stronger. His left index and middle finger had also begun to go numb.

“What’s going on?” Yan Junze was utterly confused, not understanding what was happening.

After about four or five minutes, the numbness gradually subsided, and once his right hand returned to normal, he examined it closely and pinched it hard a few times, finding nothing unusual, as if everything that had just happened was a hallucination.

“Why did it become ethereal? It’s as if my entire hand disappeared.” Yan Junze mumbled to himself.

He knew very well that such a situation must have a cause; it couldn’t have occurred for no reason. Now wide awake, he lay on his bed, meticulously thought back for over an hour, but still came up with nothing.

Every time he encountered a strangeness and dealt with it, Yan Junze clearly remembered that, upon completing each task, if there were any residues of the task left, they would definitely follow him.

Like Fang Ning, Ugly Girl, Lantern Woman, Mirror Spirit. If there were no residues, then why would his hand go numb, why did it briefly disappear?

The deeper he pondered, the more Yan Junze felt a chilling fear, as if something bad had found him. And he thought, could it be related to the “Tricky Silk” mission he had encountered?

After all, he had almost died during that mission, leaving a profound impression on him.

Moreover, no matter how many times he Rewound during that mission, he was infected by Dark Poison, and had Zhenzhen not used her unique abilities to reverse defeat into victory by pulling out all the Tricky Silk at the cave entrance, all the Different Dimension Energy would have been drained there.

Yan Junze, to this day, has not figured out why that situation occurred.

The end of the “Tricky Silk” task felt almost inescapable to him and Zhenzhen, but for some unknown reason, someone who suddenly spoke up blocked the enormous suction force behind them, ultimately allowing them to escape.

Now thinking back, if there were any hidden residues to speak of, they most likely came from the “Tricky Silk” mission, as most other task residues had already surfaced, and for those without residues, he was certain he had cleaned them up.

The only mission Yan Junze wasn’t sure about was “Tricky Silk.”

Of course, this was just speculation, with no evidence to prove it, and Yan Junze also didn’t know how to prove it, nor how to find the reason for the numbness and temporary disappearance of his right hand.

With a restless night and poor sleep, he decided to skip the morning classes the next day, choosing to sleep in the dormitory, only going to class in the afternoon.
