Chapter 12 — The day I registered my marriage, I discovered that my husband had two lives

No regrets at all. It just seems natural, as if it were common sense.

“That is the requirement of the experiment.”

he said. That moment, I finally understood. He was never just “cheating.” Using all of us as experimental materials. I took a deep breath. Force yourself to be completely calm.

“Does this system have a control center?”

He looked at me. He replied. He was silent for a second.

“You two don't need to know.”

I nodded.

“So I changed the question.”

“Is this system... stable?”

He didn't answer right away. But his silence... Said it all. Not at all stable. I turned to look at “the third version of me”.

“Why did you appear here?”

She smiled softly.

“Because there was a problem with the system.”

My heart twitched slightly.

“What's the problem?”

“Timelines overlap.”

She pointed towards the two Lam Trach.

“They shouldn't have appeared at the same time.”

“But now they appear together.”

“That proves…”

She paused for a moment.

“The system started to lose control.”

My mind immediately moved at lightning speed. A thought gradually formed.

“If the system completely loses control, what will happen?”

She looked at me. Deep eyes.

“All the passages of time...”

“It will overlap at the same time.”

My heart was pounding.

“What about him?”

I pointed towards Lam Trach.

“He will be trapped in all the time streams.”

I was stunned. The next second... I burst out laughing. It's a real smile that comes from the bottom of the heart.

“That doesn't sound bad.”

Two Lam Trach looked at me at the same time.

“What are you thinking?”

Lam Trach, wearing a suit, frowned. I don't answer. Just slowly stand up. Look at them. Then speak.

“If this system is that sophisticated…”

“So what if we intentionally make it error?”

The atmosphere immediately fell into silence.

“The third version of me” looked at me.

His eyes brightened little by little.

“You finally thought of this step.”

“Are you crazy?”

Lam Trach, dressed in casual clothes, spoke coldly.

“Maybe so.”

I smiled softly.

“But have you ever thought about something…”

I looked straight at him, slowly emphasizing each word.

“The reason why you can freely manipulate everything like that…”

“It's because we've always cooperated with you.”

“So what if…”

“What if we don't cooperate anymore?”

The room was eerily quiet. To Uyen looked at me. Her eyes gradually changed from fear... To a kind of determination.

“What are you going to do?”

I looked towards “the third version of me”.

“You know how to make timelines overlap, right?”

She laughed.

"Of course."

“I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.”

I nodded. Then turned to look at Lam Trach. For the first time... I looked at him with a completely different look. No longer a wife. No longer a victim.

“Lin Trach.”

He stared at me. Say nothing. I slowly spoke up.

“Don't you love to shred a life into pieces?”

“Then this time…”

I smiled softly.

“Let us help you put it together.”

The atmosphere in the room... Has completely changed. And I know... The game... Has just begun.

“Let us help you put it together.”

After I finished saying that sentence... The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard Breathing also becomes harsh. Lam Trach looked at me. That moment... Finally, he was no longer the person who held everything in the palm of his hand. He started really looking at me. It's like re-evaluating a person.

“You can't do it.”

he said. The tone is extremely certain. I smiled softly.

“If so, why are you starting to get nervous?”

He didn't answer. But I can see... He's really nervous.

“Overlapping timelines is not as simple as you think.”

Lam Trach, wearing a suit, spoke up.

“It needs absolutely precisely controlled nodes.”

“Need authority.”

“Need you, right?”

I interrupted him. He stopped. I nodded.

“Then it's even simpler.”

“As long as you're here, that's enough.”

“What do you mean?”

Lam Trach, dressed in casual clothes, frowned. I didn't answer right away. But turned to look at "the third version of me".

“You said it just now.”

I spoke up.

“The system has begun to become unstable.”

She nodded.

“So now… is there just one more ‘trigger point’ missing?”

She laughed.

“You are very smart.”

“It's true that there's only one point left.”

I took a deep breath. The heartbeat began to sound clearly. One beat at a time. It's like a countdown.

“So that trigger point…”

I said slowly.

“It's him.”

I pointed towards Lam Trach. The two Lam Trach's faces changed at the same time.

“Don't do anything wrong.”
