Chapter 1651: Chapter 1652: Accidents Abound
“What are you doing?”
Veronia tiptoed into Feng Yuan’s study and couldn’t help but curiously ask when she saw him searching for information on the computer. Turning around and seeing it was Veronia, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
“Looking at the news from Chongshan Town over the past two years. I don’t know why, but I always feel the matter of those small mineral drills isn’t that simple.”
“Are you suspecting something else?”
Narrowing her eyes, Veronia glanced outside. At this moment, Agunas was busy helping Xiao Yan Wolf prepare a medicinal bath and wasn’t paying attention to the situation here. Otherwise, he would certainly start investigating secretly. Just recalling the previously strange feeling, she couldn’t help but look at Feng Yuan, hoping to get an accurate answer from him.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan pointed to the news page on the screen and said,
“The migration phenomenon of the small mineral drill wasn’t very common in the past; in fact, even before, it wasn’t as frequent. It’s only recently that there’s been an occasional occurrence of small mineral drill group migrations.”
“Unrelated to the depletion of Earth Energy Circulation?”
“Look at the timing. The problem with the Earth Energy Circulation happened roughly when we went to Omeilia. However, during this time, the migration of the small mineral drill did not show an abnormal increase. Of course, it might not be reported, but internal data also indicates no migration phenomenon was discovered or recorded during this time.
The frequent migrations really started just from last month. This time is already close to the school opening time, and even if an anomaly occurred with the Soul of Gem, this situation shouldn’t arise, especially since shortly after, we remedied the energy circulation issue.”
With furrowed brows, Veronia knew that what Feng Yuan was saying wasn’t false. In this light, there really seems to be a problem there, but what exactly happened?
“What do you think might be the unusual event occurring there?”
“Hard to say. It’s just rather unnatural. I’m not confident there’s definitely a problem, but… perhaps letting Agunas investigate might be feasible.”
After contemplating, Feng Yuan said. Anyway, he just felt something was off, but whether or not to investigate? Forget it. The place is too far, and without concrete evidence, missions from the academy and the Special Duty Team wouldn’t include that area. Well, even if they did, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yufeng Academy and Yufeng City’s Special Duty Team.
“It’s busy with treatment matters now, it might not be able to make time. After all, it’s not easy to divert attention there either.”
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said, sighing. Feng Yuan said helplessly,
“Then there’s nothing we can do, but I’ll still send these materials over there. If there really is a problem, the Jingming Divine Monkey should be able to investigate.”
Primarily, Chongshan Town is not under Maomu City’s jurisdiction, he really doesn’t want to go, and after careful thought, it seems the Jingming Divine Monkey might have the time to investigate this matter. Thinking this, Feng Yuan immediately asked Liao Yu for the contact information of Yufeng City’s Special Duty Team and sent all the gathered materials.
Agunas, who was watching over the medicinal bath of Xiao Yan Wolf, glanced around suspiciously. It always felt like something had happened, but at this moment, Veronia came over to help, so it didn’t think much more.
The Xiao Yan Wolf soaking in the medicinal bath had obviously improved its spirits significant over the past few days of treatment, even starting to swim slowly in the bath. Xiao Ji stood at the bathroom door waiting for Feng Yuan to come out.
“Why are you still waiting here? Aren’t you sleepy?”
Having just finished showering and drying his hair, Feng Yuan saw Xiao Ji sitting in front of him and asked with curiosity. Although Xiao Ji often did this usually, today, even he felt a bit tired. Wasn’t Xiao Ji sleepy?
Feng Yuan reached out to pat Xiao Ji on the head, but seeing water droplets on his hand, he withdrew it, watching Xiao Ji stand up and follow him, Feng Yuan said helplessly,
“What are you doing now.”
Spreading its wings and making a sound, Xiao Ji seemed to want to say something, but at this moment Agunas and Veronia were both guarding beside Xiao Yan Wolf, so there was no one to assist with the translation. Nonetheless, Feng Yuan roughly understood Xiao Ji’s intent.
“Are you saying you’re worried I might suddenly abandon you? That’s impossible, and I was just taking a shower… Did you have a nightmare?”
Feng Yuan said amusedly, spreading its wings, Xiao Ji kept calling. However, seeing Xiao Ji gesturing, Feng Yuan frowned and said,
“Not a dream but a vision of the future? That’s unlikely; predicting the future is not a capability you possess.”
Even Veronia had a hard time using abilities like predicting the future. After all, Space-Time is a superior attribute that, even for Divine Beasts, is not easily utilized, let alone Xiao Ji of the single Death-series Divine Beasts. Even if it used its own series for indirect interference, it’s not something Xiao Ji could do now.
Calling anxiously, Xiao Ji’s gesturing speed increased, making it difficult for Feng Yuan to recognize what it was saying. After a while, Feng Yuan held his head and said,
“Wait, I’ll handle the dirty clothes and such, then go find Agunas for help with translation.”
Though he thought Xiao Ji might be having a nightmare, it was also possible something else was happening. Regarding temporal matters, having Agunas do the translation was the best choice; if there was trouble, Agunas would also actively handle it.
Agunas, checking on Xiao Yan Wolf, hadn’t noticed Feng Yuan’s ulterior motives. After confirming Xiao Yan Wolf’s good condition, it took it to wash off the medicinal liquid.
When it brought Xiao Yan Wolf out, it saw the somewhat impatient Xiao Ji and Feng Yuan looking at his phone. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas asked suspiciously,
“What are you up to?”
“Nothing much, Xiao Ji seems to have a discovery and wants to ask you for translation, since mere empathy isn’t accurate enough.”
Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said helplessly, Xiao Ji immediately called to share its discovery, and upon hearing Xiao Ji’s words, Agunas shook its tail and said doubtfully,
“According to what you say, it should be foreseeing the future, but you likely don’t have this capability, and moreover, how could that guy up and disappear without saying anything, not saying whether something happened, he wouldn’t do that either.”
“What do you mean not saying a word? Do you think I’m that cruel?”
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said, annoyed. Not to mention, this world doesn’t have the capability for him to encounter something urgent enough that he’d leave without even saying goodbye to Xiao Ji, much less where Xiao Ji got a prophecy ability.
“Wait, tell me in detail what you saw.”
Thinking of something, Agunas looked at Xiao Ji and asked, continually inquiring about some details along the way. It guessed something and said,
“Ah, I see. It’s not foreseeing the future; it’s seeing an abandoned time point, meaning a world without your existence.”
With Agunas’ explanation, Feng Yuan realized this possibility. Due to the special nature of his identity, even while in the timeline everything connected to him would automatically fill in, but this is only limited to the main timeline. If those abandoned time points lack his presence, it’s entirely normal, and even if there’s his existence, it’s instead unusual.
But those abandoned time points are of no use to the world and would normally naturally perish. How could Xiao Ji see them?
“Wait! Could it be a rare time line collision?!”
Thinking of something, Feng Yuan exclaimed in surprise. Agunas furrowed its brow, it always felt like it heard of this before, but after trying hard to recall, its face changed. Timeline collision, a very rare natural phenomenon, in a normal river of time, the time is connected by an orderly sequence of timelines, and abandoned time points are errors evolving due to various reasons.
These errors couldn’t connect to the preceding and following segments of the timeline, thus being thrown out of the river of time. Losing the support from the world’s origin, these erroneous time points would naturally perish, but there remains a very rare situation where rejected time points unexpectedly move back to the river of time, causing timeline collisions.
Surface appearances seem akin to two similar worlds colliding together, this matter…
“I’ll go check it out!”
Without waiting for Feng Yuan to say anything, Agunas immediately vanished before him. If it truly was this cause, then it indeed was a major issue. Feng Yuan petted Xiao Ji’s head and said curiously,
“Why can you sense the timeline collision? You shouldn’t have the Time Attribute.”
Rubbing its head against Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji felt very happy after knowing what it saw wasn’t the future. As for timeline collision? Xiao Ji didn’t understand, and naturally didn’t think much about it.
