41: Chapter 41 A Bold Guess

"Be a real mental patient for a few days? What does that mean?" Chen Moxuan asked, puzzled.

Even though he was definitely not a real mental patient, could someone only be a mental patient for a few days?

Song Xin seemed to see through Chen Moxuan's confusion and explained:

"I'm talking about those who genuinely suffer from mental illness, not those with a high level of mental contamination.

Mental hospitals only admit people with high mental contamination. If it's just an adult with a mental illness, they are only sent to a mental health prevention center for treatment."

"But if it's a student who hasn't yet taken the college entrance exam, they are first sent to a special middle school that accommodates various types of problematic students to study until the exam is over." Song Xin paused slightly before continuing,

"And in City C, there is a Second Hope Middle School, which is exactly that kind of institution."

Song Xin stared at Chen Moxuan, her tone growing serious:

"In the next couple of days, I'll find a way to have your mental contamination flagged as a false report, but keep your mental illness diagnosis. After that, you will enter Second Hope Middle School as a mental patient with post-traumatic stress disorder.

"I need you to find someone there for me and deliver something to him."

Chen Moxuan frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you go yourself? With your abilities, it shouldn't be hard to sneak in, right?"

"After the last incident where I was exposed for no reason, I suspect there is a perception-type Transcendent in the city who can see through my illusion disguises."

Song Xin sighed helplessly, shaking her head slightly as she said,

"Until I figure out who this perception-type Transcendent is and how their ability works, I really don't dare to sneak into the city and hide there recklessly again.

"After all, my face is currently on the Hero Association's wanted list."

As she spoke, Song Xin added, "Of course, it's fine here. This is the suburbs. If that perception-type Transcendent had such a wide range of perception, I probably would have been exposed long ago."

Chen Moxuan nodded slightly. "I see."

Song Xin then took out a delicate little box from her pocket and handed it to Chen Moxuan. "Don't open it under any circumstances before you deliver it."

Chen Moxuan nodded and took the box. "What's the person's name?"

"His name is..."

Suddenly, Song Xin's expression became extremely complicated, and she hesitated before speaking:

"Although this feels awkward coming from someone as naturally outgoing as me, I really can't hold it back anymore.

"Don't you think you agreed a bit too quickly?"

"You need to understand, I belong to an anti-Transcendent organization. Helping us is undeniably opposing the Superpower Association openly.

Even if you don't hesitate repeatedly, you should at least ask a few more questions, like setting conditions or asking for some benefits, right?"

"Why would I hesitate?" Chen Moxuan replied with a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Being brought here, if I don't rely on you, returning to society through normal channels would be a huge hassle."

Chen Moxuan's gaze slowly lowered, falling on Yang Shan lying on the ground.

"Besides, I've already done something to oppose Transcendents, and I'll only do more in the future.

"The fact that I was brought here is probably the Hero Association's doing behind the scenes. They and I have long been at odds." Chen Moxuan paused,

"Also, didn't you save me?"

Hearing this, a brilliant smile bloomed on Song Xin's face. She quickly stepped forward, raised her hand, and patted Chen Moxuan's back repeatedly, laughing heartily:

"Hahahaha, I knew I wasn't wrong about you, sis! I'm really growing more and more fond of you!"

Chen Moxuan only felt his back being slapped painfully, as if his lungs were about to be knocked out. He hastily sidestepped and retreated, saying:

"So, what's the person's name?"

"Zhang Qing. He's a student there, about eighteen years old." Song Xin replied.

"Zhang Qing?" Upon hearing the name, Chen Moxuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Could it be that people he encountered in the Martial Arts World also had corresponding existences in this world?

"Huh? You know him?"

Chen Moxuan shook his head and explained, "Not exactly. But I've heard that name in the Martial Arts World... the other world your ability transported me to."

"That's probably just someone with the same name. It's almost impossible to encounter people similar to those in the main world in an alternate world."

"Is the probability that small? I've already met several people over there who look and even have the same names."

"How is that possible?" Hearing this, Song Xin's eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment.

"My ability uses you yourself as an anchor point, with the time of the alternate world Fusion phenomenon and the era of myriad races flourishing as the starting point, to sift through the vast number of parallel alternate worlds and select one for travel.

These parallel alternate worlds are vastly different from each other, let alone encountering people similar to the main world."

"The probability of encountering even one is infinitesimally close to zero, let alone many!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Yes! Take the alternate world I was in, for example. The technological level of the Human Race had severely regressed, even reverting to ancient times.

If not for the fortunate divine revelation that allowed us to master the path of cultivation, the Human Race would likely have gone extinct long ago." Song Xin said with a grave expression.

"Even so, only a small portion of people possessing Spiritual Roots can embark on the path of cultivation.

Those ordinary people who cannot cultivate refer to the alien races as demons and can only pin their hopes on Spell Cultivators to quell the demonic chaos.

But the number of Spell Cultivators is far too small. Every day, a large number of ordinary people die in the demonic chaos."

"Even the most basic worldviews are so different. How could you encounter similar people?"

After listening, Chen Moxuan couldn't help but look puzzled.

He not only frequently ran into familiar faces, but over there, his relationships with Ma Jingyuan and Peng Jie were exactly the same as in this world.

Moreover, the Lin Muhan he met over there also shared a face with Song Xin here, though the names were different. But Lin Muhan might not be the vampire's real name either.

Thinking about it carefully, it truly was incredible.

"Let me tell you about it... what kind of world I was in."

...

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Chen Moxuan roughly described the Martial Arts World he understood to Song Xin.

As Song Xin listened, her expression of surprise grew increasingly grave. Finally, she murmured to herself:

"There could actually be a parallel alternate world so similar to the main world... I've used my Special Ability on many people and have never encountered this situation before.

"The alternate worlds they traveled to were completely different from the main world; things like martial arts didn't even exist.

But the alternate world you described has a highly consistent historical development. Apart from the emergence of Transcendents, it's almost no different from the main world."

Suddenly, a thought struck Chen Moxuan, and a bold guess emerged:

"You said your Special Ability uses the time of the alternate world Fusion phenomenon as the starting point. Can I understand that no matter which alternate world, the one traveled to through your ability must have the myriad races existing?"

Watching Song Xin nod, Chen Moxuan continued:

"From that time as the starting point, countless parallel alternate worlds have branched out.

"Then... among these parallel alternate worlds, could there be one that is identical to the current world,

with the only difference being that at the node of the year 2061 in the Nie Wu Era, the 'Son of God' was not born, and there are no more Transcendents.

"And I just happened to go to such an alternate world."
