Who could refuse a prophetic treasure of a boy from a higher dimension—one with low combat power but a clear understanding of the world’s future?
Especially for two angels whose divinity already outweighed their humanity.
They would only study Ren inside and out, from his mind to his body, and if necessary, they could each take half of him.
Falling into the hands of ancient-level angels, Ren would find it hard even to die.
Of course, living like a human would also be unlikely.
Transmigrating was something he had to keep secret.
It was Ren’s greatest secret, and he couldn’t reveal everything just to win Milia’s trust.
The timing of Milia’s awakening was simply too fast, too coincidental.
Ren had no time to think of a countermeasure.
One had to remember, he had only transmigrated last night.
To this point, not even one day had passed!
In less than one day, he had experienced two life-or-death races against time and two identity interrogations.
He even had to find time to recall the game’s content, and before he had contracted Kaka, those memories were still a blurry mess…
To be able to patch the original owner’s motives with a logical explanation in such a short time was already an extraordinary performance by Ren.
And now you want me to explain that “I” am not “me”?
Am I even qualified to explain such a philosophical question?
In my past life, I was just a gamer, not some genius with a peak IQ.
As the saying goes, ‘Human strength has its limits.’
Ren really wanted to give up.
Suddenly, a quote came to mind—
‘When you tell one lie, you often need more lies to cover it up.’
But how should one respond when the person sitting opposite can accurately judge whether every sentence you speak is a lie?
Answer: Sincerity is the ultimate trump card!
Ren tucked away the fake smile on his face and met Milia’s deep blue eyes.
“I am not Ren. I don’t know why I became Ren, but I never intended to hurt any of you.”
This sincere answer moved Milia slightly.
She could feel that the person across from her was not lying.
“Why are you here? What is your purpose?”
Milia remained very vigilant.
If the opponent made any suspicious move, she would signal immediately, and Butler Soss, who was constantly watching this area, would arrive in an instant.
Ren opened his mouth.
Good question, I want to know too.
“I don’t know. I just want to live.”
“When did you replace Brother Ren?”
“Last night, right when he was preparing to attack you.”
Milia was stunned, her gaze filled with a hint of disbelief.
She could tell that this statement was still the truth.
She thought back to the moment Ren attacked her last night.
His attitude had indeed changed somewhat stiffly, but at the time, Milia thought it was because Ren was acting well.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand everything.
So, it wasn’t an act last night?
It was just that he happened to become Ren at that moment and saved me in the process?
“So, at that time… was Ren really preparing to attack me?”
“Based on the memories I received, yes.”
“You received all of Ren’s memories?”
“That should be correct.”
“Then, do you know how the original Ren viewed Lita and me?”
This was perhaps the point Milia had always wanted to clarify in her heart.
Ren fell silent for a moment before speaking with some difficulty.
“An important sister and a childhood friend.”
The moment the word “important” was spoken, the smell of a lie immediately began to spread.
Milia pursed her lips, as if something beautiful from the past had suddenly shattered.
The title “Brother Ren” that she had used for many years might never be spoken again.
“It wasn’t that important, was it?”
Milia stared intently into Ren’s eyes, as if forcing him to speak.
“Yeah.”
Since Milia had noticed, there was no point in continuing to take the blame.
Ren was happy to be rid of the burden.
The past was the past, and the present was the present.
If he didn’t sever ties at light speed now, he was afraid he wouldn’t get a chance to use a Resurrection Armor later.
“What was the reason you had to make up such a lie?”
As if she didn’t want to continue that topic, Milia changed the subject.
Here it comes!
Ren immediately sat up straight.
“I’ve said it before. I didn’t intend to hurt any of you; I just didn’t want to make things more complicated. Since I am Ren now, I have a responsibility to clean up his mess. Consider it the last thing I can do for him.”
“The fact that he attacked you is a settled conclusion. It is also a fact that Lita awakened her magic source because of it. Fortunately, you weren’t actually harmed, so everything can still be salvaged.”
“I just wanted to give you all a good ending that everyone could accept.”
Every word Ren spoke came from the bottom of his heart.
Milia couldn’t smell the slightest hint of a lie.
This meant the other person really thought that way!
It felt as if something in her heart had been deeply touched.
“But that good ending didn’t include you. Why would you do so much for us?”
Milia had heard from Claude that Ren didn’t have much longer to live, and that was one of the only two things she hadn’t smelled a lie in.
Ren was caught off guard by the question.
Why?
You didn’t see Lita’s attitude back then; she looked like she wanted to eat me alive.
If I didn’t find a reason to save my life, she really would have dared to “slay her kin” for the sake of justice in the future.
However, since the game of Truth or Dare had come this far, Ren had no reason to back down.
“Actually, I like you and Lita very much. I also hope you can live happy lives.”
“If the alternative is an unacceptable, tragic truth, I would rather carefully weave a happy lie for you.”
“To be honest, I have always seen you as good friends.”
As soon as these words came out, Milia grew even more bewildered.
She found it inconceivable.
How is he not lying?
Is there something wrong with my ability?
“But you’ve only known us for such a short time.”
Ren smiled slightly.
“For me, it hasn’t been short.”
It really wasn’t short, especially if he added the time he spent playing the game in his past life.
He added that last part silently in his heart.
Incredible!
The bewilderment on Milia’s face turned into confusion.
She didn’t understand why the other person’s favorability toward her and Lita was so high.
Thinking about Ren’s cold attitude in the past and looking at his sincere eyes now…
Milia was somewhat dazed.
Could ten years of companionship not even compare to a single meeting with a stranger?
Unable to figure it out, she decided to end the conversation for now.
She needed time to think properly and organize her heart.
Therefore, at the end, Milia wanted to confirm the attitude of the person before her.
“Will you do anything to disadvantage Lita, Uncle Claude, or me? I mean, will you commit any act of malicious harm against us in any sense?”
Hearing Milia’s repeated confirmation, Ren finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It seemed he had passed for now.
“Of course not.”
Ren felt a surge of pride in his heart.
He knew that after today, the good days were coming.
“From now on, as long as I am alive, I will always be on your side.”
