The Righteous Group’s Pet Suddenly Realizes: The Villain is Actually Me

Mo Tu walked back to his temporary residence, contemplating something in his mind.

Ye Lan and the silver-haired loli—these two individuals.

Although their hair and eye colors were different, Mo Tu was certain that this Night Watcher from the future was the little girl he had encountered this morning.

“Are they two people? Or… two bodies?”

Of course, they could also be identical twin sisters who looked very similar. Before obtaining an accurate answer, any guess was possible.

One could even speculate that the silver-haired loli was the black-haired loli’s elderly mother. Who knows if it’s true?

So these were just speculations.

Mo Tu directly assumed that this girl had one soul in two bodies, and suddenly his train of thought opened up.

“Assuming that silver-haired loli is a Night Watcher from the future, it’s not impossible for her to know me. No, if that were the case, her expression at that time shouldn’t have been like that. Perhaps she knows me in another identity and doesn’t know I’m a Night Watcher.”

Mo Tu’s observation and analytical skills had always been strong, and he quickly noticed the problem.

“Given my personality, if I discovered a holder of an exceptional Star, I probably wouldn’t approach them as a Night Watcher. How did my future self make that loli know me?”

First, he ruled out the Night Watcher channel. It must be an extremely ordinary identity.

This was Mo Tu’s analysis based on his own personality.

He naturally knew how peculiar his personality was.

No, not peculiar—interesting.

Only oneself knows oneself best.

“Let’s assume further. On the day the exceptional Star awakened, I was the first to notice the anomaly and learned the loli’s address through the Star. I tried to approach her in the simplest way without arousing any suspicion.”

He would indeed do this, unless his future self’s personality had changed.

But that shouldn’t be possible.

“If it were me, I would establish a certain connection with her using an ordinary identity, neither too intimate nor too unfamiliar, and be able to know her movements and situation at any time… The condition that fits this… should only be a neighbor, right?”

Mo Tu gradually traced the key information, regaining his confident smile.

“I see. Then I know what attitude to take when communicating with her.”

It wouldn’t be impossible to reveal his true identity to her, but it was unnecessary and not needed.

This kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation was his style.

Or you could say he had some sort of mental issue.

Just thinking about it was hilarious.

……

Ye Xing filled her stomach, bought a few things, and then went home.

“I’m full. Now I just need to go back, lie down, and slack off. I’ll just wait until 3 PM to watch Lian Hua’s puppet show~”

Compared to other Night Watchers, Ye Xing was completely unburdened.

After all, she couldn’t do much, so rather than being anxious with her eyes wide open, it was better to make herself happy.

Work pressure and anxiety didn’t exist for her at all!

Slacking off was more enjoyable~

Ye Xing believed those big shots would surely resolve the Star Eclipse easily.

At this moment, as Ye Xing was about to return home, she saw a familiar figure again.

It was that black-haired young man with a mysterious smile—Mo Tu.

He seemed to notice her too and walked over.

“What a coincidence, we meet again. I bought some desserts on the way, would you like some?”

Mo Tu naturally handed over a small bag.

“Oh… thank you.”

Ye Xing instinctively took it, then quickly realized something was off.

Wait, in this timeline, they weren’t familiar yet!

Ye Xing hurriedly pushed it back.

“Um… how could I…”

Seeing her reaction, Mo Tu immediately had an “as expected” expression.

It seemed that his future self, when being a neighbor, often fed this loli.

These habitual actions.

Tsk tsk tsk~

Hilarious.

Mo Tu really wanted to know how mischievous his future self must be to do this. Wasn’t he afraid of forming a habit and feeding her into a pig?

Wait, turning a cute little loli into a pig seemed quite rewarding too. He suddenly understood.

“Don’t be polite, just have a few.”

“Umm… alright then.”

Ye Xing casually took out a few small snacks and chewed them.

Hmm, the taste was okay.

Ye Xing wasn’t worried about Mo Tu drugging her or anything, after all, she still had the trust brought back from the future.

His future self was so kind-hearted, so he should be kind-hearted now too, right?

Mo Tu also tasted the snacks bought from the roadside, frowning slightly after a bite.

“The cooking time and texture are a bit off. It’s not as good as what I make. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll try to make some desserts for you to taste.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Ye Xing had eaten desserts made by Mo Tu several times, and the taste was indeed great, so it was worth looking forward to.

Unconsciously, she had begun to ignore the differences between the future and the present.

Now her attitude towards Mo Tu was not like that towards a stranger, but rather like a friend who had had quite a few interactions.

Correction, a neighbor.

Perhaps it was because Mo Tu’s current attitude towards her was no different from the future—the same gentle smile, mild temperament—which caused Ye Xing to have a significant misconception.

“I live nearby. If you need any help, you can come find me.”

“Umm…”

Ye Xing’s mind was a bit confused, almost ceasing to think.

The current Mo Tu was so enthusiastic, feeling no different from the future one.

Could it be that he, like her, had traveled from the future?

“By the way, what’s your name?” Mo Tu asked.

“Ye Xing…”

Well, that ruled out this guess.

Then was there a possibility that Mo Tu was a lolicon?

Hmm…

Ye Xing’s gaze suddenly became sharp, staring at Mo Tu somewhat vigilantly.

Mo Tu: “…”

What kind of look was that?

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m going back now. See you another time, maybe.”

“Well… alright, goodbye.”

Watching Ye Xing’s departing silver figure, Mo Tu stood in place, deep in thought.

Discovering such an interesting anomaly had made his heart a bit excited.

So much so that he lost his usual calmness and acted without organizing his thoughts properly.

From the observations just now, Ye Xing’s gaze had become quite vigilant.

Could it be that his over-enthusiasm had aroused this loli’s suspicion?

“Very sensitive to people’s emotions, I should note that down.”

Since he had already aroused her suspicion, he could only take it slow.

Mo Tu wasn’t discouraged. At worst, he just needed to break down Ye Xing’s inner vigilance.

This was something he excelled at.

However, Mo Tu didn’t know that Ye Xing just thought he might be a dangerous lolicon, so she was only a little scared.

If he knew the truth, he might cough up blood.

“Her name is Ye Xing… the one at the base is called Ye Lan. There’s definitely a connection, just don’t know exactly what kind… Well, it’s not a big deal, ignore it.”

Mo Tu only knew that the potentially erupting Supernova Star Eclipse had some connection with Ye Xing.

Now he just needed to quietly observe in the nearby area.

That’s it.

This should be fine.
