Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 157: Letter From The Future No. 8

"Why do you need to know?" asked Bai Liang.

Sun Ping straightened up, looked at Fu Xiaoyu, and said with a self-assured smile:

"Perhaps you're not aware, but Doctor Fu and I have known each other since high school. We took our exams and got into the same university, and then we both joined Sun Eclipse Biotechnology."

Hearing this, a spark of interest lit up in Bai Liang's eyes:

"So, you love her?"

"No, no, no," Sun Ping shook his head. "It's not that I love her; she loves me. For my sake, she enrolled in Langyun University. And when she found out I was hired by Sun Eclipse Biotechnology, she did everything she could to get into the same company."

At this point, he let out a heavy sigh and added:

"I know I'm exceptionally good, and I understand her devotion. That's why I decided to give her a chance."

What absolute nonsense.

Bai Liang finally understood what pure absurdity looked like. This guy was the epitome of a delusionally confident "spare tire" type – a person utterly unaware of their role as a backup option. Though, most likely, he didn't even realize he was one.

The letter mentioned that Fu Xiaoyu had several such "dogs," but Bai Liang hadn't expected the first one to be so bizarre that he could barely suppress his laughter.

"Doctor Bai, what were you talking about with Doctor Fu?" Sun Ping reverted to his original topic.

No, wait. Perhaps he wasn't delusional at all. Maybe he was just trying to subtly dissuade him from getting close to Fu Xiaoyu. What a cunning fellow... Bai Liang understood everything.

Composing himself, Bai Liang said with a smile:

"Doctor Fu invited me to her room tonight to see a cat that can do somersaults."

The smile on Sun Ping's face instantly froze:

"Wh-what?"

Bai Liang shrugged:

"You know I love cats, and it's simply impossible to refuse such an invitation."

"She has a cat? Why don't I know anything about this?" Sun Ping looked utterly bewildered.

"I don't know that. But it's hard to decline such a kind invitation, so I'll have to drop by tonight. You have to believe me, I really just love cats," Bai Liang said, patting Sun Ping on the shoulder.

【Hahaha, Master Bai is too cunning!】

【This is probably the sorrow of a sycophant. Knowing that his goddess is spending the evening with another man, he can't even say anything in response.】

【Why do I feel like I'm looking in a mirror? I was once in Sun Ping's situation too... Damn it, am I a sycophant as well?】

【It seems this Fu Xiaoyu is real trouble. Maybe Master Bai should stay away from her?】

【Above, you must understand that every NPC in a dungeon has their role. Master Bai knows how not to go too far – that's the most correct approach.】

【It seems you're joking, and you have proof!】

"Ha... hahaha," Sun Ping laughed awkwardly, getting up from his seat.

"Well, in that case, I won't bother you any further, Doctor Bai."

"Hm," Bai Liang replied calmly, without even looking at him.

The day quickly drew to a close. After work, Bai Liang gathered the scattered materials and headed for the laboratory exit.

No new surprises arose. After having dinner in the cafeteria, he returned to his room.

That night, there wasn't a cloud in the sky; the stars glittered brightly.

A light breeze rustled the leaves outside the window, making a soft murmur; the snow had stopped, with only occasional faint sounds reaching him.

On this tranquil night, Bai Liang lay on his bed, savoring the moment of quiet and the brief respite.

The next morning, he woke up in his soft bed.

First thing, he got up, went to the table, and picked up the envelope.

As expected, the envelope was sealed again, as if no one had opened it. The letter he had taken out yesterday had vanished.

A new day – a new letter.

Bai Liang opened the envelope, took out the letter, and saw that it was covered in small handwriting.

"【Hello, yesterday's me!】"

The same greeting phrase, the same way of addressing him. It seemed he was truly polite and, apparently, too lazy to come up with new greetings.

Bai Liang rubbed his temples and continued reading.

"【You must have had a wonderful night. It's a shame I didn't remind you to open the window. Then I could have enjoyed another night watching the somersaulting cat fly into your room.

Anyway, I've already experienced it. The cat really knows how to put on a show.】"

After reading this, Bai Liang frowned, his gaze turning a little strange.

"What does that even mean? What 'cat flying into the window, somersaulting'? Is it a hint or just someone's joke?"

Bai Liang's intuition told him that this cat was not ordinary.

"【Now, let's get down to business. Today, you need to go to the second floor of the Scientific Research Building. You can use the elevator or the stairs; it doesn't make much difference to us.】"

Bai Liang wondered what else awaited him in the new day.

On the second floor, there's a laboratory related to Z-cells. Your task is to retrieve the blue test tube, the largest one. Make sure you don't confuse it with others.

After you get the test tube, give it to Professor Zhang. He will give you some hints that will help you complete the task.

Additionally, you can try taking a blank sheet of paper and writing down notes about what was important to know yesterday. Once finished, put the note in the envelope – it will be delivered to yesterday's you.

Unusual things will happen next, although, to be honest, I'm sure you'll figure it out yourself later.

When you get the hints for completing the task, make sure to return to your room before midnight. This is very important. I already missed her, but you shouldn't make the same mistake!

That's all. The rest is up to you to decide.

"A laboratory on the second floor, a blue test tube... Looks like I'll have to ask Professor Zhang for a day off in the morning..."

After reading the letter, Bai Liang closed his eyes and pondered.

According to the letter's contents, he had a lot to do today:

– Go to the laboratory on the second floor and retrieve the test tube.

– Give the test tube to Professor Zhang to get hints for completing the task.

– Return to his room before midnight.

In the room, he was supposed to meet someone.

Who?

"Her? So, it's a woman?"

Opening his eyes, Bai Liang didn't act immediately. Instead, he took out a blank sheet of paper from his desk drawer.

The letter stated that he could write a note for yesterday's self.

What important things happened yesterday?

After thinking, Bai Liang decided to rewrite the content of yesterday's letter.

However, once finished, he added another point:

"Before going to bed, make sure to open the window. After you fall asleep, a cat that will do somersaults will sneak into your room. Just enjoy it – nothing bad will happen."

And also, you can write a letter and put it in the envelope. I'm sure you've already thought of this, but I still want to remind you.

When you wake up tomorrow, something amazing will happen.

After writing the letter, Bai Liang placed it into the envelope and sealed it.

He wasn't sure if it would work, but elements of a paradox were clearly evident in it.
