[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Neil looked at the photos and the information collected by Will next to him.

"Daisy", the only child of the Brown couple, slept forever in the dirt in the backyard of the pastor James's house in the neighboring town more than ten years ago.

But now, another woman with the same DNA has lived as "Daisy" for two years, and even perfectly replaced everything in "Daisy", no matter family or friendship.

Accident?Maybe a little, more, or calm.

Doubts have long existed, and Neil's feeling at this moment is more like the answer he has been waiting for has finally arrived.

In just a few seconds, many images and sounds suddenly flashed in his mind.

The pretty blond girl spoke of her past with a wistful expression on her face.

"When I was about seven or eight years old, I was abducted from my parents. I have no memory of many things in my childhood."

"The sudden tsunami swept through the town, and most of the residents in the town died in that terrible disaster, and my adoptive parents were not spared."

Back in the town where Daisy grew up, Elsa, who survived the tsunami, looked at Daisy with strange eyes.

"I haven't seen you much since your family moved to the West Side. I remember you were a skinny little girl at that time, and now you have become so beautiful."

Andrew next door had pretended to be mysterious.

"I saw Pastor James again today at the coffee shop opposite the clothing store. He was sitting by the window looking into the clothing store just like last time."

"I've seen it twice, and I'm sure he's spying on Daisy."

On that night of lightning, thunder and storm, the home phone rang suddenly.

"The devil is in your shadow..."

There seemed to be hints about this incident very early on, but the hints that were difficult to connect before could not bring an answer, and could only be turned into nourishment for growth and watered the seeds of doubt.

Neil and James had only met once when he first arrived in the town, but he had heard James' voice more than once. He was no stranger to the nagging voice on the phone back then, and that was also his voice today. The reason for coming to Wilyo.

It's just that before the thing he wanted to ask could be said, Will had already brought him the answer.

How familiar is this method of tampering with identities, so familiar that Neil does not feel the slightest surprise, and even inexplicably feels a little bored and disappointed.

Neil returned to the hotel with the folders that Will had sorted out.

Daisy seemed to have been waiting for him.

"Have you had your breakfast?"

Seeing Neil shaking his head, Daisy smiled and called the hotel for food delivery.

No need to ask more, she has always understood Neil's taste habits.

Neil nestled into the soft sofa, and he casually placed the folder on the coffee table in front of him.

Daisy sat down on the seat opposite Neil,

"What do you want Will to do?"

Neil shook his head without answering.

This forced a smile on Daisy's face.

She's been convincing herself that things are getting better again, and Neal is not indifferent to the changes behind her frankness, but she's been contradicting her inner voice.

If Neil didn't love her anymore, how could he care about her feelings.

If Neil no longer cared about her feelings, how could he choose to be honest with her.

She used it over and over to convince herself that their relationship was indeed getting better.

But in front of Neil's calm to cold eyes, this kind of self-persuasion began to become very difficult. She couldn't help but look away, looking at the folder on the coffee table,

"This is?"

She glanced at Neil questioningly, and seeing that Neil didn't object, she brought the folder in front of her.

Neil looked at the folder that was transferred to Daisy, quietly waiting for the answer he was about to get.

In this brief moment, more things began to emerge in his mind.

Daisy's incomprehensible and even frightening, bottomless tolerance and love.

And the sudden and unignorable throbbing when seeing Daisy for the first time under the dim streetlight.

Before that, both Daisy's appearance and personality were the most ideal appearance of Neil before time travel, which made him almost never doubt the sudden throbbing.

But at this moment, everything becomes self-evident.

The thin folder was gently opened by Daisy. She was stunned for a moment, and as her eyes scanned the documents, the relaxed expression on her face gradually turned into fear, as if it was not a simple matter in front of her. A few pages of paper and photos, but a broken world.

"This..." Her voice trembled uncontrollably, "What is this..."

She looked up at Neil, as if she was in a falling apart world, looking at her final redemption,

"Tell me it's a joke..."

Neil's silence made her more and more desperate and frightened,

"Neil..."

As soon as the name was blurted out, her body began to flicker as if distorted and collapsed data. Her lips opened and closed, and the moment she called out "Neil" was silently and quickly replayed.

It's like a machine that's programmed to crash.

Neil suddenly recalled what Daisy said emotionally that night.

【"Cheating will make all relationships false, cheating is betrayal."】

He looked at Daisy who was gradually "dying" in front of him, and couldn't help repeating what he said in response to her back then,

"You are right."

After the words fell, Daisy's body disappeared in front of Neil's eyes in an instant with a sudden accelerated flicker, and the opposite side was empty, as if she had never existed.

At the same time, the familiar mechanical sound began to occupy his brain again,

"Congratulations," it called Neil with an unfamiliar title, "Raider No. [-]."

Neil's heart is really difficult to make waves, the return of the system brings him feelings, probably only a plain sigh in his heart,

"Ah, so."

The system did not quiet down,

"That's your ideal 'perfect girl'." In the voice of the system's mechanical tablet, one could hear the doubts inside, "In my calculations, such a woman has a very high probability for you. Attraction, even if it takes time, you have a great chance of falling in love with her."

"What are you going to say?" Neil suddenly discovered that the system after his return seemed to be a little different.

"This is a test and your final mission." The system said to Neil, "I need to know whether you will fall into the trap of love when you are captured, like the mission target you once were."

Neil believes that this is not an illusion brought about by time. It seems that after the return, the system has become more talkative than before.

"What I didn't calculate is that when you married Daisy, your feelings for Daisy were in a family relationship, which made me unable to make a judgment on the outcome of the mission."

The system was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked,

"Have you ever loved Daisy?"

Neil sensed hesitation from this sentence, as if the system could react emotionally like a human.

It's ridiculous and ironic.

"Do you care?"

The system seems to have become a rigid program, asking mechanically,

"Have you ever loved Daisy?"

Neil finally couldn't help laughing,

"You know me better than me, don't you?"

"Have I ever loved Daisy?" He repeated the systematic question, as if he had discovered something particularly interesting, "Didn't you already have the answer to this question?"

"Or," the smile on his face gradually faded, "did you, who are asking about this kind of thing, really regard yourself as the template you set named Daisy?"

The system was completely silent.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, it was the food delivery service that Daisy had called before.

After seeing off the waiter, Neil calmly finished the breakfast that was prepared for him.

It wasn't until shortly after the meal was over that various noises suddenly came from outside the hotel that attracted him to go to the window and draw the curtains.

After a strange creature that seemed to be an alien flew through the air not far in front of him, the chaotic streets of New York came into his eyes.

The system that had been silent before suddenly spoke at this moment,

"No, it's not just templates."

But Neil could no longer connect this voice with obvious emotional fluctuations with the rigid mechanical sound before.

"I'm sorry I've been misleading you, Neil."

"The system is not me, I am number six," the voice called itself, "number six, the attacker, is also your guide."
