Chapter 2389: The World Thousands of Years Ago
Was this a joke?! Wasn’t this the same as having a surveillance camera that followed him everywhere he went? They'd see everything Zu An did, even when he was passionate with his lovers…
Strong killing intent suddenly filled Zu An's eyes when he realized that.
The Time Scribe panicked a bit when he sensed the look in Zu An's eyes. He quickly explained, “Your distinguished self, please do not misunderstand! Even though I can hide and record events away from view, after being noticed by a powerful being, they will also sense my presence when I am near. It is not what your respected self is thinking!
“Really?” Zu An’s tone was still a bit dark.
“Of course it’s true!” The Time Scribe realized that he could end up in trouble if he didn’t explain clearly. “We Time Scribes record all kinds of things that happen in the world, but there are many worlds that are very special. For example, they might be extremely closed off and not permit anyone entering, or the world’s source may be special, not permitting any beings of flesh to enter. That is why we Time Scribes had no choice but to change our own morphology.” As he spoke, his entire body became intangible. “See? We are not physical entities, and only exist by borrowing some invisible forces of the universe.”
“Invisible force?” Zu An was a bit puzzled.
“Explaining this is a bit complicated…” The Time Scribe thought to himself for a bit before saying, “If we want to continue existing, we need to fabricate a reasonable and fair character that can participate in this world. However, the issue with this is that someone particularly intelligent could realize that we should not exist. At that point, we would disappear.
“That is why we usually use an easier method, which is to take the place of someone who used to exist. That way, our existence becomes more harmonious with the world, just like when I impersonated the first miss’ subordinate.”
Salamay’s teeth ached as she listened.
