The next second, the instinct for survival erupted like a volcano.

"No! Run! You must run now!" Erya jumped up from the chair like a lit firecracker and began to run around frantically in his luxurious apartment full of treasures.

He rushed to the closet, roughly opened the door, grabbed a few clothes and stuffed them into an open suitcase on the floor.

He rushed to the desk again, trying frantically to put away his precious drawings and pens.

He glanced at the game console and collectible figurines on the bedside table, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to give up.

Honjo Nia even tried to squeeze in a few of her favorite comics from her bedside table...

"Passport! Cash! Bank card!"

The spiritual outfit swayed slightly with her movements, and the ink-black skirt swept across the books and snack packaging bags scattered on the ground, looking particularly funny.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang throughout the apartment like the devil's knock.

Time seems to have frozen.

Erya kept bending over to stuff something in his mouth, and raised his head very slowly, looking towards the closed apartment door.

"Isn't this too fast?!"

The heavy door was violently pushed open, and Ye Zuochen, accompanied by the indifferent Gokawa Kotori, walked in as if he were walking into his own living room.

The scene that came into view was a disaster scene.

Snack bags, crumpled manuscript paper, and a few unpaired socks were scattered on the floor. The mountain of books was crumbling, and a few clothes and painting supplies were dumped randomly in the open suitcase.

Ye Zuochen glanced at the mess without frowning, but just clapped his hands lightly.

The applause fell silently.

White clouds instantly rose up around him.

In the clouds and mist, several figures wearing the same black and white maid outfits quietly emerged.

"Gu Yong, clean up."

Ye Zuochen ordered casually.

"Yes, Master."

Xian Guyong, who was in the lead, bowed slightly without any extra words.

The maids behind him immediately dispersed, picking up debris, putting books away, arranging drawings, and sweeping away dust...

The chaos seemed to be quickly smoothed over by an invisible hand.

Honjo Nia, who was originally sitting on the bed, almost curled up into a ball, strangely relaxed his tense nerves after seeing this surreal scene.

It's a feeling of resignation, "I can't escape anyway, so I might as well give up."

Erya even adjusted her sitting position to make herself more comfortable in the "fortress" of comics. She looked at the busy maids and said in a tone that was a bit like a otaku critic:

"Tsk, your maid uniforms are...very professionally designed. The cut is sharp, the black and white color scheme is classic, and the hem is just the right length, ensuring ease of movement while maintaining elegance. Which master designed these? Or did you design them yourself?"

Ye Zuochen ignored Erya's comments and walked straight to the huge workbench that had just been occupied by Erya.

He pulled out the chair that looked like it had been under countless creative pressures, sat on it, and then naturally patted his thigh and signaled to Kotori Itsuka beside him.

"Sit up."

Itsuka Kotori's dark red eyes widened instantly, a barely perceptible blush spreading across her cheeks, and her venomous instincts immediately took over: "Lolita control."

The voice was quiet, but full of disdain.

But despite her contempt, her little body still leaned over and carefully sat sideways on Ye Zuochen's strong thigh.

The moment she sat down, Kotori Itsuka felt the burning heat of a male body beneath her, as well as the huge outline of a certain part that could not be ignored.

The strange touch made her body stiffen, and her small earlobe quickly turned red. She could only force herself to put on a cold face to hide the turmoil in her heart.

Erya watched this scene with great interest, and she had picked up her "Whispering Volume" in her hands again without knowing when.

"Hey, you guy over there who looks like he's good at running a harem. How on earth did you do that? You were actually controlling my Whispering Confessions?"

Ye Zuochen casually placed one hand on Qin Li's waist while supporting his chin with the other. He said calmly, "It's very simple. After unlocking the third level of the gene lock, I have become an open system. My magic power can not only affect my own energy, but also the energy of the outside world."

“At the same time, you can ‘see’ things that you couldn’t see before, and things that you could only vaguely feel.”

"In short, I can see the 'thread' your Whispering Announcement is running on."

He paused for a moment before saying, "The rest of the story is simple. I just need to use the power of the [Qingming Creation Talisman] to gently 'touch' your 'Whispering Annunciation', making it temporarily 'listen' to me."

Erya closed the Whispering Confessions and placed it on her knees. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes from beneath her gray hair fixed on Ye Zuochen. "Enlightenment angel? Controlling omniscience?"

"Who are you? Or...what are you?"

"The Whispering Confessions cannot find your past, and you don't look like an elf. This is beyond my comprehension."

"I'm from a parallel world," Ye Zuochen replied decisively. "In this universe's [Void Memory], there's no record or information about me, so you can't find any information about me."

"Parallel world..." Honjo Niya chewed on the word in a low voice, the shock in his eyes slowly turning into a solemn look. "I see, that makes sense..."

"Then how do you know about me? And the information about the elves?"

"It can even find me accurately."

Ye Zuochen smiled, but didn't directly answer the key question. "In our world, there exists a group known as 'Descendants of God'. They can project their 'spiritual vision' beyond the world, like standing on a towering mountain overlooking the earth, glimpsing the hazy outlines of the multiverse's destiny. They capture certain crucial information nodes."

He cleverly gave an explanation, but cleverly avoided the key to whether this method could be used to know the elves.

Erya was so smart that he immediately heard the reservation.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Ye Zuochen deeply.

The other party was unwilling to explain, so she stopped asking...

After all, we are now at the mercy of others.

Erya changed the subject and asked a more practical question: "Okay, visitor from the parallel world. You went to so much trouble to find me, and brought Flame Demon with you. What exactly do you want to do? It can't be just to visit my studio, right?"

As he spoke, he spread his hands and gestured to the room that had been tidied up by the maids.

"I know some things," Ye Zuochen said, his smile softening slightly as his fingers unconsciously entwined a strand of Qin Li's dark red hair. "But I don't know enough, not enough."

"So, I want to ask you, ask this elf lady who possesses 'omniscience'."

Erya raised an eyebrow, shook the large book in his hand, and put on a generous look. "Oh? You want to use my "Whispering Chapters"? Sure, considering you helped me tidy up the room, it's not impossible. What do you want to know?"

Ye Zuochen didn't ask his question right away. Instead, he looked down at the silent Kotori in his arms and said to Erya, "Don't worry, let's do some research for her first. Find out about Gokawa Kotori's identity and family situation as a human before she became an elf."

"It's a piece of cake." Niya shrugged, running his fingers quickly across the page. "Itsuka Kotori, an only child."

"My father, Itsuka Ryuo, and my mother, Itsuka Haruko, are both experienced engineers in the field of realizers. They work away from home all year round, so they often live alone."

"About two years ago, a spirit crystal from a neighboring world accidentally merged with her, turning her into an elf."

She paused, glanced at Kotori, and said with a hint of understanding, "Fairies are usually forcibly pulled back to the neighboring realm after their initial manifestation."

"That place felt like just emptiness and darkness."

"When an elf truly manifests in the world for the first time, they often lose their memories of their human lives due to the impact of space shock or some other mechanism."

"It's like... well, a person has lost their memory. They don't remember their name or their relatives, but they still remember how to eat and drink water. They may even remember some of the knowledge they learned, but they don't know where this knowledge came from."

Erya pointed to his head. "As for me, I later relied on this 'Whispering Book' to directly find out my past. You know, using 'Angel' and 'Spiritual Equipment' is like instinct for us elves."

Kotori had been listening quietly. Now she raised her head and spoke with a hint of nervousness that she herself hadn't noticed: "Are they still alive now?"

"Of course." Erya answered affirmatively, "Besides, they have always known about the existence of elves."

"After you disappeared, they used their work convenience to confirm through various channels that you had turned into an elf."

"For the next two years, they ran around almost every area where spacequakes occurred, trying like crazy to find you..."

Erya's voice was tinged with a sigh. "But the problem is, there's more than one elf, and the space tremors may correspond to different targets. They haven't found them yet."

Qin Li's lips were pursed, her eyes dropped with a complicated expression, and she was silent for a few seconds before she spoke again, "Where are they now?"

Erya looked through the pages.

"They just finished an overseas inspection mission and are expected to return to Tiangong City tomorrow afternoon. By the way, your Wuhe family originally lived in Tiangong City, and their house should still be there."

Ye Zuochen felt the slight stiffness of the girl's body in his arms, so he gently stroked Qin Li's dark red hair.

The technique was like soothing a proud but uneasy kitten.

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Don't...don't mess up my hair!"

Kotori felt as if her tail had been stepped on. Her face immediately turned red and she protested in a low voice, trying to turn her head away to get rid of the hand.

Instead of stopping, Ye Zuochen rubbed her hair even harder, making Qinli's neatly combed hair a little fluffy and messy, causing the girl to make an unhappy "hmm" sound and her cheeks turned even redder. Only then did she stop her mischievous hands and turned her gaze to Honjo Nia who was sitting among the pile of comics.

"Okay, it's my turn to ask questions."

Erya also straightened his posture and spread the "Whispering Annunciation" on his lap. "Ask me, little brother from the parallel world. I'm all ears."

The room fell completely silent, with only the faint sounds of the maids finishing up the tidying up. All eyes were focused on Ye Zuochen.

Ye Zuochen stared directly at Erya with his deep black pupils and slowly uttered three names:

"Isaac Westcott."

"Alan Mathers."

"Elliot Baldwin Woodman."

He paused and asked the key question:

"What happened to these three people?"

Unexpectedly, Honjo Nia did not immediately lower his head to search the "Annunciation Volume", but gave the answer directly.

"died."

"Thirty years ago."

"Died at the hands of the third spirit - Tokisaki Kurumi."

119 Doctor: Why don’t you go back thirty years?

When talking about the story of "Date A Live", we have to start from thirty years ago.

Thirty years ago, three of the only four pure wizards in the world gathered at the center of the Eurasian continent and used the "Elf Spell" to summon elves.

Elves are neither life forms born out of thin air nor aliens descended from outer space. Instead, the magician Westcott created magical life by bringing together the natural forces hidden in the earth, sky, and ocean on the surface of the earth, which would take hundreds or even thousands of years for the earth to recover, thus creating magical life.

Further on.

The only remaining wizard bloodline of mankind survived in a village, which was later destroyed, leaving only four survivors.

Westcott is one of them.

He combined mysticism and magic to design the "Elf Spell", and wanted to summon the original elves and cover the earth with a neighboring world to take revenge on humans.

In the original story, they successfully summoned the primordial elves, which triggered a series of events.

However, something unexpected seems to have happened on the current timeline.

"As far as I know, the Time Spirit can use a large amount of spiritual energy to travel through time. Her long-cherished wish has always been to go back thirty years and change the appearance of the spirits and space tremors." Ye Zuochen muttered to himself, feeling a little emotional. "It seems she succeeded this time."

Erya nodded slightly and said leisurely, "To be honest, I don't know if she was successful or not. The information I got from the past is that Tokisaki Kurumi went back thirty years and found Isaac Westcott, Alan Mathers, and Elliot Baldwin Woodman who were about to activate the "Spirit Ritual" at the center of the Eurasian continent, and wiped them out."

Ye Zuochen played with Gokawa Qinli's hair with his fingers, thinking, "But the space quake still happened, and the elves still appeared. Is this a correction force?"

Erya raised the pen in her hand. "I don't know about that either. Even though it's a super high-performance search engine, it can't find the past that has been modified, right? But you seem to know what happened on the timeline before the modification..."

Speaking of this, she became a little curious.

"Speaking of which, how was I in the previous timeline?"

Ye Zuochen said calmly, "He was arrested by the DEM Society."

Erya: “…”

No, wasn't it so embarrassing in my original timeline?

Honjo Nia changed the subject: "Anyway, according to what you said, it's that correction force."

"If the Spirit Ceremony is not activated, the original spirit will not be born, and Miss Tokisaki Kurumi will not be able to obtain the Spirit Crystal and become the Spirit of Time."
