Does this work too?

Liuli was taken aback. "Huh? What do you mean?"

Homura Akemi said, "Well, how do you explain this? That guy has always been like this, just planning to mess with you, like playing a prank or something. But a small problem went wrong and caused a big one. Now he can't clean up the mess, so he can only play the villain and throw caution to the wind."

Liuli's eyes widened: "Huh!? Really?"

Akemi Homura retorted confidently, "Do you understand Amo, or do I? You're just a newcomer, don't overthink it. You'll understand in time."

Xiao Yuan, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, "That's right, you understand A Mo."

Finally, Leng Mo, who was dressed in an incredibly stylish outfit, suddenly felt a little guilty and asked, "Should I still pretend?"

Altair smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Stop pretending, you've already given yourself away. Now you should think about how to clean this up. By the way, what are you planning to do about the situation with Liuli?"

Leng Mo coughed lightly, "This isn't a big problem, I already have a solution. The only problem now is..." As he spoke, he looked at the smug Yakumo Yukari beside him, pointed at her and cursed, "You shameless old woman!"

Yukari Yakumo was taken aback. "What's wrong with me?!"

Leng Mo said, "How old are you! Why are you going to complain to someone younger than you! Have you no shame at all!"

Not only was Yukari Yakumo stunned, but everyone else was also dumbfounded. They all realized what was going on. It was subtly comical to think about: Yukari Yakumo, a powerful youkai whose age was unknown, at least in the four figures, had actually gone to Homura Akemi, who was many years younger than her, to complain.

Everyone was overjoyed and looked at Yakumo Yukari with a subtle smile.

Upon seeing this, Yukari Yakumo immediately became shameless. "So what if I tattled on you! So what if I'm shameless! If I weren't outmatched by you, do you think I would have done this! This is all your fault!" She raised her fist, wishing she could punch Leng Mo in the face, but at this moment, no matter how powerful her words were, they couldn't dispel the truth of her shamelessness.

That's explosive.

Leng Mo immediately covered her mouth and whispered to the senior Xiao Yuan next to her.

"Shameless, you're so old."

"Exactly, exactly, I'm quite old."

Senior Xiaoyuan chuckled in perfect unison, simultaneously glancing over at Leng Mo with a sharp look, delivering a merciless blow to the other party.

Yukari Yakumo jumped up in anger, "I heard you! You two bastards! You just love to wreak havoc on other people's wounds!"

Leng Mo chuckled upon hearing this, "See! She admitted it!"

Senior Xiaoyuan quipped comically, "She admitted it! She admitted it! How shameless!"

Leng Mo said, "That's right!"

Yukari Yakumo was so angry that she wanted to roll around on the ground. She couldn't win the game, she couldn't beat them, and she couldn't win the argument, so she could only roll around to vent her inner turmoil.

Seeing this, Liuli finally understood. These guys had an incredibly good relationship, and she was the only one who didn't know it from the beginning. They were completely treating her like a fool.

The clown was actually myself!

Liuli's heart was filled with turmoil. If she could, she would want to unleash a shockwave on everyone in front of her.

At this moment, Homura Akemi interrupted their conversation, "Stop messing around, tell me what to do next? Don't tell me you have no idea how to handle such a big mess you've made." As she spoke, she looked at Madoka-senpai with an annoyed expression.

Senior Xiaoyuan was taken aback. "Why are you looking at me like that? It was Amo who caused the trouble. What does it have to do with me, Senior Xiaoyuan?" She put her hands behind her head, looked up at the sky, and whistled, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this, Liuli frowned, sensing something was wrong. "Huh? What's going on?"

Leng Mo immediately puffed out his chest proudly, "That's right! It's me!"

Ruri was speechless, completely baffled as to what was so special about this. Akemi Homura, however, seemed to understand, looking thoughtfully at Leng Mo, her heart filled with emotion.

You're taking the blame because you have a good relationship with the newcomer, aren't you, so that the newcomer won't have any negative feelings towards Madoka-senpai later?

It seems you don't only have this kind of idea in your head.

Just then, Liuli suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wait! If Leng Mo is the culprit... then the brother and sister I killed..." She vaguely remembered Sakuragi Shu and Mana, whom she had beaten to a pulp, and her face was filled with astonishment.

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo said dismissively, "It doesn't matter, it's not like it's the first time they've been beaten up anyway."

Liuli said, "But... I sank them..."

Leng Mo was startled, his eyes widening as he stared at Liu Li. "Huh?!"

Senior Xiaoyuan was also shocked, "You're so cruel, you sank them!!"

Altair also looked puzzled. "What's going on? You wouldn't really be that ruthless, would you?"

Liuli quickly explained, "No, no, I was very angry at the time, so I punched them and sent them flying far away into the sea."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

Leng Mo said, "I was terrified. I thought you really sank him into Tokyo Bay. Turns out he just flew into the sea. It's alright then."

Liuli asked worriedly, "Are you really alright?"

Leng Mo said, "It's definitely fine. I'll make a call and ask if you don't believe me."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Ouma Shu's number, which was immediately answered.

Phone call: "What's up?"

Leng Mo said, "It's nothing, it's just that Liu Li was worried about you, afraid something might happen to you. How are you feeling?"

Phone call: "How do I feel? I feel terrible! Do you know how damn cold Tokyo Bay is?!"

Leng Mo said, "Huh? Hmm? What did you say? The signal is bad, I'm hanging up."

Beep.

He hung up the phone instantly, then looked at Liuli with a knowing look on his face, "See, everything's fine, isn't it?"

Liuli was at a loss for words, especially after the phone was abruptly hung up; words simply couldn't describe the feeling.

Homura Akemi, standing to the side, urged, "Stop fooling around, what do we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo thought for a moment and revealed an evil smile, "Hehehe, since this is Lobotomy Corporation, then there must be that thing here, right?"

Everyone looked at Leng Mo with confusion, wondering what that thing was that could make him laugh so evilly.

Leng Mo explained happily, "Of course it's the TT2 protocol—!"

Upon hearing this, Senior Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up. "Oh! This thing! I see, I see."

Liuli looked at the two of them in confusion, "What exactly is that?"

Leng Mo said, "Small-scale time rewind is the TT2 protocol that will be activated once something irreversible happens within the company, turning back time to one day ago. However, this rewind only applies to the internal time of Lobotomy Corporation. Simply put, it means that the internal time of Lobotomy Corporation is rewound to one day ago, while events outside Lobotomy Corporation are already the next day."

Upon hearing this, Liuli's eyes widened in utter shock. "Time reversal! There's actually such a thing! But didn't you say it only existed within Lobotomy Corporation? No matter how you try to rewind, you can't possibly rewind time outside, right?"

She understood Leng Mo's meaning: rewind time so she could return to a peaceful period of her life and end her karmic ties with Lobotomy Corporation! However, the TT2 agreement Leng Mo mentioned was only limited to a small scale and couldn't possibly reach the entire world…

Leng Mo naturally understood Liu Li's question, maintained his smile, and stood next to Senior Xiao Yuan, striking an exaggerated pose, "Ta-da! Let me introduce you to our most, most, most terrifying scientist—Senior Xiao Yuan, who possesses my power of thought! Ta-yo!"

Upon seeing this, Senior Xiaoyuan immediately puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips, becoming quite proud.

Ruri looked at Homura Akemi with a puzzled expression, "So?"

Homura Akemi explained, "Once this girl thinks of a solution to a problem, she can solve it. As long as she puts her mind to it, she can succeed at anything, no matter how unscientific."

Ruri looked at Madoka in astonishment, "So amazing?"

Senior Madoka proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "That's right! Changing the world in a mere area is no challenge for Senior Madoka!"

Liuli immediately showed surprise and delight, "Then let's hurry!"

With a target in mind, Leng Mo didn't hesitate. He waved his hand and shouted, "All troops, attack!"

The next second, everyone rushed out of the room and headed towards the director's office.

……

Meanwhile, in the director's office, he silently stared at the monitor in front of him. He watched as Leng Mo and the others casually waved their hands in front of the troops he had dispatched, and all the soldiers and staff immediately fell unconscious. This situation made him feel powerless.

Angela, standing beside him, paid no attention whatsoever, as if this were just a routine matter, respectfully standing to the side with her eyes closed, awaiting the director's orders.

However, the director was helpless in the face of this. From the other party's words, he understood that Leng Mo and the others' goal was the TT2 protocol. The activation button for this protocol was right in front of him, which meant that the other party's target was his office.

The director paused for a moment before asking, "Angela, what are our chances of winning?"

Angela said, "0%, Director. We don't have any conditions to bind them at all. Even if we use TT2, it won't work. They've already realized this problem, and they'll be heading here as soon as we use it."

The director fell silent, his hand on the table slowly clenching. He wanted to do something, but realized that in the current situation, there was nothing he could do but wait for the other party to arrive.

Our side's fighting strength is simply no match for the enemy's; the only option is to wait and see.

However, he wasn't entirely without a chance. He looked at the red button on the table, filled with hesitation. He raised his hand and placed it above the button. As soon as his finger touched it, the entire company would rewind to a previous state, and Leng Mo and the others would instantly return to their rooms.

Even so, this only buys time and doesn't solve anything.

He sighed, lowered his hand from the air, and placed both hands on the table, waiting for Leng Mo and the others to arrive.

Bang!

A loud crash came from the gate, the heavy gate bulged out like a deflated soccer ball, and then collapsed. Leng Mo appeared at the gate with his foot raised, the sole of his foot clearly visible.

The director, sitting at his desk, sighed upon seeing Leng Mo and the others, "I will fully cooperate with whatever you need to do."

Leng Mo, who had just entered, was somewhat surprised to see the director so pragmatic. He glanced sideways at Angela, who had her eyes closed. The director wasn't dangerous; the real danger was Angela.

Leng Mo walked to the desk, placed one hand on it, and said, "We need the TT2 protocol."

The director said, "No problem, please use it." He then pointed to the red button next to him.

Upon seeing this, Leng Mo immediately greeted Senior Xiao Yuan, "Senior Xiao Yuan is in your care now."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyuan, the senior, looked amused and rummaged through her pink bag with both hands, looking just like Doraemon. She said in a low voice, "I really can't do anything with you, Amo."

The next second, she pulled out a hammer, a pink one, and held it up in front of her eyes. "Ta-da! The modification hammer! As long as I hit it once, any prop will be transformed into the shape I want."

The director couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the hammer in Xiaoyuan's hand. "You don't actually think you can modify the TT2 protocol with just a hammer, do you? Putting aside the question of whether it can be modified at all, the energy consumed by the TT2 protocol is no simple matter."

Senior Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Hehehe, you are questioning my abilities, Senior Xiaoyuan. But it doesn't matter, I won't blame you for not having witnessed them."

The director frowned, sensing something was wrong, but remained silent.

Senior Xiaoyuan raised the hammer and slammed it into the button.

boom--!

A loud knocking sound echoed around, and the buttons on the desk turned pink, emitting a different kind of light.

She smiled and pressed the button with her finger.

Beep.

"Everyone get ready! Time is about to rewind!"

Instantly, pink light illuminated the entire office, spreading from the Lobotomy Corporation below, to the entire city, the entire country, and then the entire planet!

For a moment, time on the planet seemed to stand still, and then it began to move in the opposite direction. Everyone unconsciously began to rewind to four days ago, and the memories of the past few days were fading, as if nothing had ever happened.

During this process, Leng Mo turned to look at Liu Li beside him, his eyes filled with the sadness of parting and a hint of tears.

"Liuli, you're all alone now. So no matter what happens in your life from now on, you have to keep going strong. As long as the road continues, don't stop."

Liuli's pupils contracted as she stared at Leng Mo in astonishment. "What? Could it be... you're leaving?"

Leng Mo grinned and said with emotion, "Yes, we won't stay in one world for too long, because there are countless worlds waiting for us to explore. Like a spiral that can't stop, we won't stop either. So, we must protect ourselves."

Liuli didn't know why, but seeing this scene of parting filled her with reluctance. Although Leng Mo had lied to her, they had unknowingly become friends, and she could feel everyone's concern.

It was a touching moment when everyone offered help when one was in trouble.

But now, she suddenly didn't want to part. Looking at Leng Mo with teary eyes, she asked, "You... no, it's nothing..."

She didn't say it aloud, but she understood that she wasn't the same person Leng Mo and the others wanted in their daily lives. They had finally ended everything and were returning to their normal routines, and if she refused now, all their efforts would be in vain.

Although it was all the other person's fault, she felt a strange unease and was reluctant to let go.

The next moment, Leng Mo and the others watched with smiles as Liu Li's body disappeared from the spot, like stars scattered in the sky, and could no longer be seen.

"Thank you...and goodbye."

She looked in the direction where Leng Mo and the others had disappeared, a look of reluctance on her face. Then, her vision was enveloped by a bright pink light, and she could no longer see her surroundings.

-----------------

Four days earlier, Angela, standing in the director's office, slowly opened her eyes. Her golden eyes flashed with a fierce look, filled with disgust for her surroundings.

-----------------

On the other side, at Gokyo's house.

When Liuli came to her senses, she found herself standing at her front door, wearing her familiar school uniform and carrying vegetables and a schoolbag. Suddenly, her pupils contracted, and a look of astonishment crossed her face. She remembered her current situation—this was four days ago, after she returned home from school.

"I'm back? Time really went backward?!"
