However...
Ji Chengxuan's face suddenly changed.
Liu Zhihui's reluctance to rescue her own family was indeed puzzling. For a moment, even Ji Chengxuan, with his smart mind, had no idea what she was up to.
But if we consider Ji Chengxuan's previous speculation, it might make sense.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? I've been talking to you for a long time and you ignored me."
Ji Chengxuan came back to his senses and suddenly grabbed Yun Que'er's wrist.
"Actually, I've thought about why Liu Zhihui has come to find us again and again. Do you think it's possible that she's trying to confirm our identities?"
"What?" Yun Que'er was a bit stunned for a moment.
It took her a while to figure out what was going on.
Could it be that Liu Zhihui had seen that they weren't from this world?
Yun Que'er suddenly remembered what Liu Zhihui had said to her when they first met, and she couldn't help shivering.
Shivering, Yun Que'er's first reaction was to look warily into the room.
Fortunately, everyone was having dinner at the moment, and no one was paying attention to them.
"It's... It's not impossible," Yun Que'er said with a gloomy face.
Before, Yun Motan had seen through them.
But Yun Que'er still had doubts in her heart.
Yun Motan had lived with her for a long time. As a family member, it was natural for him to notice something was wrong.
But Liu Zhihui had started to probe her when they first met. Could it be because Yun Que'er had seemed too "smart"?
"It must be possible," Ji Chengxuan said. "Actually, I suspect..."
Ji Chengxuan leaned over to Yun Que'er and what he said made Yun Que'er couldn't help swallowing.
"Do you think she's also a time - traveler?"
Was this world a bit too magical...
Not to mention that in their era, the system technology wasn't very mature yet. Time travel was a fifth - level reward and it was hard to get by chance.
Moreover, it was uncertain which time and place one would travel to.
It was already a small - probability event for her and Ji Chengxuan to end up in the same place. Now, if there was another person, wasn't it too much of a coincidence?
"Are you sure?" Yun Que'er looked at Ji Chengxuan nervously.
Ji Chengxuan couldn't be sure either. It was just his intuition that had been giving him a vague premonition.
"Maybe we should test her?" Ji Chengxuan suggested. "Look, people with systems like us all have some special skills. Liu Zhihui might not dare to recognize us openly because she hasn't seen it with her own eyes. If we show it to her, maybe she won't be so mysterious anymore."
Yun Que'er was so scared by Ji Chengxuan's idea that she almost lost her wits.
"What are you talking nonsense about? How can we let others know about this so easily? What if we're wrong and Liu Zhihui isn't a time - traveler at all? Won't we be the ones who suffer? Aren't you really afraid of being caught as a monster!"
After living a good life for so long, they seemed to have forgotten about the danger.
Sometimes, Yun Que'er herself would have a vague illusion that she was born in this world and even forget that she had a system.
But it didn't mean they could live in peace. They must always remember that they were always outsiders.
Once they were seen through, they would suffer a catastrophic disaster!
Ji Chengxuan came back to his senses and also thought his idea was too reckless.
"You're right," Ji Chengxuan's expression dimmed a bit. "Especially now that we're not alone. We might implicate the whole family."
Both of them were in a difficult situation.
What should they do...
At this moment, Yun Que'er suddenly remembered something.
"Right, I remember our system can upgrade automatically and there's also a customer service. I think we can ask it."
The two looked at each other and hit it off.
They looked around. The people in the room were still having dinner, so they sneaked out of the house.
But they didn't know that Yun Jianzhou, who was full after the meal, came out for some fresh air. Seeing the two kids acting furtively, he thought something was wrong and followed them.
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan went to a deserted corner deep in the alley, and then secretly called out the system customer service.
"Are you there? Are you there?"
【Oh, my dear host, you finally remembered me.】
Yun Que'er:???
Ji Chengxuan:...
"Ahem," Ji Chengxuan coughed awkwardly. "Don't be so surprised. The system customer service belongs to the intelligent AI. They're very similar to humans and they also need to learn on their own often."
A few days ago, Ji Chengxuan wanted to find a traditional Chinese medicine book to read, and he had also experienced such a thing.
Moreover, he guessed that his customer service must have secretly read a lot of funny quotes. Every word was like a thunderbolt, and it took Ji Chengxuan a long time to recover.
"Okay... Okay..."
Yun Que'er reluctantly accepted this fact.
It seemed that her customer service must have secretly watched a lot of early Chinese - dubbed American dramas.
"Um... I want to ask you. Does the system have any function to determine how many time - travelers are near me?"
Beep beep beep -
The system flashed a red alarm light.
【Oh! My dear host, your idea is really too dangerous!】
Listening to that overly exaggerated tone, Yun Que'er impatiently scratched her hair.
"You don't have to be like this... Get to the point!"
【Emmmmm... It's probably because the current time - travelers are all the first - batch users of the system. The distribution of the system is random, and the developer can't guarantee the identity, occupation, family background and character of these people. Therefore, it's not recommended for the host to look for time - travelers other than your fated person. After all, you can't guarantee whether that person is good or bad, right, my dear host?】
Fated person?
What the hell?
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan's systems had some shared parts, so Ji Chengxuan could also hear what Yun Que'er's customer service was saying.
His expression suddenly became a bit unnatural, and he turned his head slightly.
Yun Que'er didn't notice Ji Chengxuan's abnormality and was thinking carefully.
Actually, what the customer service said made a lot of sense.
Even with a system, they were still just ordinary people and could die at any time.
Yun Que'er didn't want to lose her life because of some strange time - travelers.
...
Wait! She was getting off - track!
"What I want to do is not to make friends with this person, but to determine whether she's a time - traveler or not. Do you understand?"
【Oh! My dear host, I advise you not to have such a dangerous idea!】
"Shut up!" Yun Que'er couldn't bear it anymore and scolded. "Why do you talk so much nonsense? I see you haven't denied it for so long, which means there is such a function! Hurry up and tell me."
【My God, why are you so stubborn, host!】
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Yun Que'er was almost about to quarrel with the customer service.
"If you keep stalling, I'll go down with you. We'll die together!"
The customer service silently complained: Women are really a heartless creature...
