Chapter 614 Not This World’s Bai Chen (2)

Bai Chen did not answer Xu Xin Tong right away. He looked at Xu Er Er first. She looked back at him with her sparkling eyes. It seemed like she did not doubt him like Xu Xin Tong did. She must have been certain that it was him.

"Yes." Bai Chen nodded before telling the truth. "I'm the real Bai Chen, but, unfortunately, I'm not of this world. I'm from another parallel world."

"What do you mean, big brother?" Xu Er Er asked. She clenched her fists tightly.

Xu Xin Tong also asked the same thing. Her eyebrows knitted tightly. She was quite worried. "Exactly. What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm not the Bai Chen of this world. There are a great many parallel worlds out there and I'm from one of them. Where I'm from, Er Er is only a 10-year-old girl and you're a police officer in Xing Zhou city."

Bai Chen answered with his calm voice while trying to suppress himself. He really wanted to ask if Lua Er was his and Li Lin's child.

Even though he was quite sure that she was, he still wanted a confirmation from them.

"Is…that sort of thing even possible, big brother?" Xu Er Er stared at Bai Chen. She did not even care about how he was not of this world. In her eyes, he was still Bai Chen, her brother-in-law.

However, that was not the case for Xu Xin Tong. She was clearly alarmed. She muttered softly to herself, "No wonder why you're so young. If you were still alive, you should be around 38 years old now."

However, she was still happy to see Bai Che alive again.

"Absolutely. I'm really from a parallel world," Bai Chen answered Xu Er Er and flicked his hand. He suddenly turned into a 38-year-old-man—both his face and his body.

"This would be better." He did this because he thought that these two must have wanted to see him in this form.

Seeing that, the siblings were surprised. Not so long after that, tears ran down their cheeks.

"If Bai Chen of this world was still here, he would have looked like this…" Xu Xin Tong spoke softly. Her heart ached when she thought about his last words: 'I'll leave the future of the children to you.'

It still rang in her mind. That day, he had come back home with his body soaked with blood and one leg and one arm gone. Then, he'd dissolved into the night sky!

It was obvious that Xu Xin Tong and Xu Er Er had known all along that Bai Chen was a cultivator. That was why they were not surprised that he could change his appearance like this.

"If you don't have any more questions, let me ask you this." Bai Chen's face turned serious.

"Whatever it is, I'll answer," Xu Er Er quickly responded. Her teary eyes were fixed on Bai Chen.

Bai Chen was in slight pain at seeing her crying. He moved closer to her and wiped her tears with his hand.

"Don't cry, Er Er. The Er Er whom I knew was a cute little girl who was always bright, wasn't she?"

"Big brother…" Xu Er Er cried even harder. She buried her face in Bai Chen's lap and sobbed.

Xu Xin Tong wiped her tears. Her voice sounded apologetic. "It's been tough for Er Er to feed all of us all these years..."

Bai Chen stroked Xu Er Er's hair. "Don't worry, Er Er. I'm here now and you won't have to be in this hell again."

"Y… yes. I trust you." Even though Xu Er Er was already 30, she was still a cute little girl in front of Bai Chen. It was like when Bai Chen had met her the first time.

"All right, Xin Tong, please answer this. Where is Xue Ning?"

Hearing that, Xu Xin Tong trembled. Her face filled with sadness. Xu Er Er was the same.

"Xue Ning passed away 7 years ago…" Xu Xin Tong's voice was sad. Tears started to fall again.

"What?!?" Bai Chen was so alarmed that his face changed colour. His heart was in pain as if it had been stabbed with countless sharp knives!

"W… What happened to her?" He asked anxiously and tried to suppress his emotions.

"She got sick. All the changes and new technologies that the Numbers brought here created a strange illness that's caused by a radiation called plasma. There is no way to cure it. Anyone who suffers it dies!" Xu Xin Tong said with a weak voice.

"Not only Xue Ning, but Xu In and Li Lin also succumbed to it!"

"What?!?" Bai Chen shook violently. His face turned extremely pale. His world seemed to have tumbled down.

He could imagine Xu Xue Ning and Long Xu In smiling at him and walking away. Then, Li Lin stared at him for a long time before smiling and walking away as well.

"Why… Why are things like this?" Bai Chen's face went blank. His heart was stabbed even harder.

He thought that he would be the only one who'd died in this parallel world. He did not expect the 3 of them to fall, too. Was this not the same as in the future where his future self had not been able to help anyone?!?

"Bai Chen!" He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists very tightly. His face twisted. His eyes were full of anger. He was angry at the him of this world in that he could not protect them!

"Big brother…" Xu Er Er got up and tried to stop her tears. She wanted to console Bai Chen. She could sense how sad and angry he was.

"Please calm down…" Xu Xin Tong could not help but tell him.

Bai Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. He tried to keep his cool. This was not the time to do this. He had to know what had actually happened here.

Bai Chen looked at Lua Er. "Who is that child?"

Xu Xin Tong and Xu Er Er followed his gaze. They did not say anything for a while before Xu Er Er broke the silence. "Lua Er is Li Lin and your daughter. She didn't even have a chance to see your face before she was born. Poor thing."

"My daughter..." Hearing the confirmation, Bai Chen shook. He really wanted to hug her right now.

However, he shook his head and stopped that urge. Then, he asked more about the things he was curious about.

Xu Xin Tong and Xu Er Er took turns narrating their tale without hiding anything. Bai Chen listened to them quietly with mixed feelings.

Once he was finished listening, he concluded that 20 years ago in this parallel world, after he had become the winner of the war of the system owners, he had not decided to go with Namiana to the far-off future and deal with Infinity Zero.

Instead, he had come back to the present world and lived happily with Li Lin, Long Xu In, and Xu Xue Ning. The children were born after that.

The first one was with Xu Xue Ning, Bai Xue Chen. He had been born in 2022, and was now 15 years old.

The second one was with Long Xu In, Bai In Ye. She had been born in 2024, and was now 13 years old.

The last one, the third one, was with Li Lin, Bai Lua Er. She had been born in 2027, and was now 10 years old.

Also, 2027 was the year Bai Chen had died. It was also the year when a big change had completely transformed the whole world. Of course, the ones who'd brought this change upon everyone was the Numbers!
