2: Underneath A Thousand Skies

242 This Psychopathic Demon Is Psychic (64)

He wondered what Jia would look like in an office skirt. If that skirt was also paired with black stockings...

Xu Jinhai coughed and focused on his most important task. He asked, "What do you think of Jia?"

Nova didn't know where this interrogation was going. Are these questions the most important things that the male god could think of?

But Nova still maintained his vigilance.

"I'm not sure. I don't think of her much."

That question wasn't as simple as it looked. If he said too many good things about Song Jia, Xu Jinhai would drink vinegar and kill him. If he said too many bad things, his fate would also end in death.

It wasn't easy to be the proxy boss of 886.

"You don't think of her much? Is Jia's presence something you can simply ignore?"

Along with the coldness in Xu Jinhai's tone, the temperature in their surroundings also dropped a few degrees lower.

Nova, "..."

Great ancestor, there's no right answer!

"You've harmed Jia before."

"I haven't!" Nova was startled and blurted out the answer without thinking.

Although he withheld some of her salary, in terms of safety, he always made sure all the necessary precautions were taken during her transmigration missions.

"I definitely don't have any ill intentions towards her."

"It's good if that's the case."

Xu Jinhai stood up and walked over to him. His eyes, the color of grayish blue, had always appeared frosty to anyone who was unfortunate to meet his gaze. But now, they seemed to have condensed below freezing point.

"How far apart is Jia from me in the real world? How much is the gap of time between us?"

Nova's heart stopped a little. He had always known that the male god was smart, far smarter than he showed himself to be.

"She isn't far from you, and the time gap isn't big. It's just a few years. When you wake up, I advise you not to look for her. Otherwise, you might change her destiny and the two of you will never meet at all. Our world would cease to exist."

Xu Jinhai fell silent, digesting the meaning of these words.

"The day that I lost my memories. Something happened, but Jia wouldn't tell me. Did I get possessed by something?"

Nova paused, and chose his words carefully.

No way, if he slipped out even a quarter of the truth, the butterfly effect would be disastrously huge.

"I think you'll know the answer to that question once you go back to the real world. It'll be less confusing than if I try to explain your condition right now."

"My condition?" Xu Jinhai frowned. He clenched his fists. "During that gap in my memories, did I harm her? Is that why she wouldn't tell me about it?"

Nova shook his head. "You'll never...you're the last person that would ever harm her."

Xu Jinhai looked at him. Finally, he said what he had been thinking about for quite a while.

"Her job...it's something related to the soul and going back in time."

It wasn't a question.

Nova was stunned. He looked at Xu Jinhai with shock.

"Ever since I recovered my memories, I have already been certain of a few things. First, Jia's job is directly related to me. Second, she is in the future, while I'm still in the past. Third, her soul can inhabit other bodies. Fourth, you have the same ability as her."
