Unfortunately, before this idea could be put into action, Paradise Ellie astutely dodged it, thwarting Elise's counterattack plan.
She could only puff out her cheeks and watch as 'Bad Jiang Qiao' chatted with Pado for a few minutes before walking over to Pado's stall.
This instantly excited the cat! It started promoting the goods on its stall, just like it did with Alicia.
What 'Bad Jiang Qiao' had his eye on was none other than the 'pink trumpet' that Alicia admired.
"Hehe, Sister Ellie, this is some really good stuff I just got from Sister Wilvi's workshop. That Boss Qiao really wants it!"
"Ok?"
Paradise Airi, who already had a strong interest in the little trumpet, looked directly at Alicia after hearing that this was something the real Airi really wanted.
"Oh, so you really wanted this?"
"In that case——"
Alice, who was initially fuming and planning a more effective counterattack against 'Bad Jiang Qiao', suddenly had a gleam of excitement in her eyes after hearing Alice's words.
Could it be... that wicked Jiang Qiao is going to buy this horn and give it to me?!
Hmph... Even if you really gave me this pretty little trumpet, I still wouldn't forgive you, but... well, for the sake of the gift, I'll forgive you a little, but only a little, you naughty Jiang Qiao!
The thought of receiving the gift she wanted from the nasty Jiang Qiao made the sullen Alicia somewhat happy.
however--
After buying the trumpet that Alicia wanted with 'three crystal flowers', Alicia walked towards her with the trumpet in hand, showing no intention of giving it to her.
This caused Alicia's smiling hand, which was about to take the megaphone, to freeze in mid-air.
"Uh...what happened?"
'Bad Jiang Qiao' pretended to look strange and puzzled at Alicia who reached out her hand, while the latter looked incredulous—didn't you buy this horn to give to Alicia?
"Oh my...it seems you also like this little megaphone~ What a coincidence, it seems we have a lot in common."
"It's a real shame, there's only one little trumpet." The pink-clad girl toyed with the little trumpet as if showing off, then said with a hint of regret, while adding with a smile, "Hmm...maybe next time Pado can get another one from Vervière, who knows? Wait for next time?"
—Wait until next time.
The words echoed in Alicia's ears, while her hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or put it down.
The colors in my eyes gradually dimmed, as if they had lost their luster.
The little devil, Ellie, picked up the pieces of emotion that Ellie had scattered on the ground and chewed them up like cookies.
Then, he patted the stunned angel Ellie on the side, as if to comfort her, and handed her the trident.
Little angel Ellie paused for a moment, then took the trident—and assimilated it instantly!
Ahhhh, you bad—Jiang—Qiao—!!!
Ellie, I will absolutely, absolutely never forgive you!!!
Just then, the sweet voice of "Let's wait until next time" rang out from the trumpet in the hand of Paradise Airi, who was fiddling with it.
Heaven and earth can bear witness—this wasn't something she recorded on purpose! It was an accident!
She bought this little megaphone simply because she liked megaphones... Wait, what? The real person also really liked and wanted this little megaphone?!
That's great! Paradise Ellie just likes it even more now!
The sound from this little speaker is so pleasant, and the speaker itself is so exquisitely crafted...
However, before Paradise Ellie could continue 'showing off' the little trumpet in her hand, she felt her vision blur and her body become heavy.
[Having reached her limit, Alicia used a crushing blow.]
[Extremely effective against 'bad ginger'!]
The weight, roughly 55kg, accumulated on her body.
Unfortunately, although the model uses the appearance of 'Jiang Qiao', it seems that Alicia did not consider the weight data. However, from the perspective of using it as a 'weapon', it may still provide some bonus to the 'skills' (I'm sure of it).
Paradise Airi, who was pinned down, was also a little confused.
Looking at 'Jiang Qiao' riding on her back, she didn't feel shy at all—after all, she knew very well that what was in front of her was the real Jiang Qiao in a suit. However, this sudden change still caught the fat lady of Paradise somewhat off guard.
This scene of 'man on top' and 'woman on the bottom' startled the cat once again.
Oh my god! Alice was pushed down by a man from outside!!!
Although I had indeed heard some things about relationships between men and women, what I saw in this short time was a great shock to my simple and honest beliefs.
First, Ellie took the initiative to put her arm around 'Chic's' arm, and then 'Chic's' pushed Ellie down. This...this...is this what they say in the book...Oh dear, Wendy and I are still here. 'Chic's' is too...too bold!
Even if you really have to do something, at least find a secluded place, okay?
She instinctively covered her face with her hands, peeking at everything through the gaps between her fingers, which were painted with light pink nail polish. After thinking for a moment, the frivolous Pado realized that she and Wendy might be getting in the way if they stayed here any longer.
So she took the initiative—"I just remembered I have some things to do, Sister Ellie, Boss Qiao, you guys keep going!" After leaving those words, she grabbed Wendy's collar and slipped away, not forgetting to turn back along the way and also snatch away the canned food that was lying on the convenience store intending to take a nap.
...
After parting ways with Eden, Jiang Qiao, wanting to see Alicia, walked through the paradise, intending to fulfill her wish of seeing the paradise of the past life, which had been disturbed by the arrival of the rich woman.
Unfortunately, he seems to be more popular than he imagined.
Looking at the green-haired figure that appeared not far away, Jiang Qiao sighed helplessly.
"Hehe~ Big brother, why do you sigh when you see me? Did... I do something wrong?"
A sweet, coquettish voice rang in his ears, and a seemingly 'innocent and carefree' green-haired girl stared at him with a smile—unfortunately, in his eyes, this 50,000-year-old 'girl' was only good at fooling unsuspecting fools, but to him—an old woman like He Xingyi was acting like a virgin!
Of course, Jiang is quite experienced in dealing with such defeated opponents.
"Hmm~ How could that be? I'm extremely happy to meet the brilliant Dr. Möbius!"
A sweet voice and a gentle tone came out, and 'Alicia's' burning gaze fell on the former. The presumptuous look in her eyes, which seemed to want to 'strip' him naked, made the innocent and naive look on Mebius's face disappear without a trace.
Although he was still smiling, those familiar with Möbius knew that the doctor had now removed his mask of pretense. With a hint of disdain, he scrutinized Jiang Qiao from head to toe, and curled his lip in a slight smirk.
"Although I've heard about it... I never imagined that this irritating feeling would be exactly the same as that woman's."
At first glance, Ding Zhen was identified as an unpleasant woman—with just the initial contact, Mebius's 'dislike level' for Jiang Qiao Aili skyrocketed, seemingly hitting the daily limit.
Of course, given Möbius's personality, his appearance before Jiang Qiao couldn't possibly be just to check the purity of the 'high-quality replica of Ellie,' but rather he had something to say—something Jiang Qiao was well aware of as well.
"Since we're all smart people, I won't beat around the bush."
After a moment of silence, Möbius asked the question that had been brewing in his mind:
"Jiang Qiao, is it? I only intend to ask you one question—do you know what you're doing?"
Like Eden, she did have things she hoped Jiang Qiao could help her with.
But unlike Eden and the others, Mebius was a researcher.
As one of the pinnacles of human intelligence in the pre-era, upon learning of Jiang Qiao's situation, her first reaction was not surprise, but 'doubt': could such a thing really be done? As a genius, Möbius had no choice but to question it.
She thought about it a lot, but the final conclusion was—it was impossible.
As Otto Apocalypse later said, it is absolutely impossible to go back in time to 50,000 years ago, not even to reverse the course of history.
Perhaps the method Jiang Qiao used was not the so-called time reversal.
Even so, the predicament he faces will not change.
This is not simply a difficulty in terms of time scale.
Rather, it is a more abstract and conceptual reality.
As the memory of Mebius, Mebius possesses everything that the original Mebius had except for her final moments. As the pinnacle of the previous civilization, she is naturally one of the few people in the previous civilization who truly understands the 'cocoon'.
The cycle of the end is absolute; it will turn back the clock to the beginning.
From a temporal perspective, under the influence of the 'cocoon,' the pre-civilization has become 'zeroed out,' or 'non-existent' in the world.
If it exists, then it must exist in an 'error' state.
A mistake that is extremely serious for the world.
"You are bringing a huge logical error to our world. Do you... understand what the consequences might be?"
Mebius was quite serious.
She didn't know what caused the 'pre-civilization' that should have disappeared to reappear—perhaps for them, the deceased of the past, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but for the current civilization, and even for the world, it would be a disaster that would lead the future into the unknown.
Just like the branches of a plant, the dead branches and the new branches appear as 'a branch'—a timeline, which inevitably leads to all sorts of problems.
For example, they might compete for nutrients, causing both to wither and die, or the mother might notice and recognize it as a mistake, thus performing 'pruning'.
If that's the case, letting the previous civilization perish and returning everything to its original state would actually be the most correct choice.
At least that way, the new era can still have a future.
"of course."
The girl in pink listened to the other person's words but was not swayed much. Instead, she smiled and teased, "The Dr. Möbius I remember was not as sentimental as he is now."
"Given Möbius's personality, shouldn't he be more confident?"
"Humph."
Mebius grunted.
