Chapter 13 — The day I registered my marriage, I discovered that my husband had two lives

Lam Trach, wearing a vest, spoke coldly. I laughed.

“You guys tore a human being into pieces, yet you still say I'm doing something wrong?”

Lam Trach, dressed in casual clothes, stared at me.

“If you stop now, there's still time.”

I looked at him. Suddenly it felt so funny.

“You know what?”

“If it was before today, maybe I would really believe that statement.”

“But now…”

I shook my head slightly.

“Even whether you are a complete Lam Trach or not…”

“I'm not sure either.”

Su Uyen suddenly spoke up.

“I will help you.”

I turned to look at her. Her eyes were red. But extremely steadfast.

“He sees me as data.”

“Then I don't need to consider him human anymore.”

I nodded.

“The third version of me” walked between us.

“The plan is very simple.”

"Taking advantage of the current 'out of phase' state to forcefully create more overlapping points."

“Causing the system to no longer distinguish between the main timeline.”

“Finally…”

She looked towards Lam Trach.

“Lock him up in all timelines.”

“You will fall together.”

Lam Trach said wearing a suit.

“Then it all falls apart.”

When I said that... I didn't hesitate at all. Because I understood very well. If this system is not destroyed... Then we will forever be just components inside it.

“Let's get started.”

What happened next... became extremely strange. Even... It's a bit unreal. We don't have any high-tech equipment. There are also no complicated operations. The only thing we do... Is disrupt "order". I called him from the past. Send a message to your future self. Use all of his communication methods at different times. Repeatedly. Constantly messing things up. To Uyen also deliberately changed the trajectory of her actions. She should have stayed at home... Then she went out. She should have gone to the hospital... But she refused to go. As for the "third version of me"... Continuously creating interference. She knows clearly which point in time is the most fragile. Like someone who has gone through this system countless times. Every step... Steps right on the key point. The most obvious change is... More and more "Lam Trach" appears. Initially there were two people. Then it became three. They begin to overlap in the same space. Some people only appear in the blink of an eye. Some people last a few seconds. Some people can even talk. The whole room... It was like it was being ripped apart. Time is no longer a straight line. Which turned into... A mess.

"Stop!"

An Lam Trach shouted.

“You will destroy everything!”

Another Lam Trach shouted. The sounds began to overlap. The image also begins to deviate. I saw Lam Trach standing in front of me. The next second... He appeared again at the door. Then disappeared again. Like an image with unstable signal. Standing in the middle of it all. I didn't move. Suddenly I was unusually calm. Even too alert.

“Is this the ‘many lives’ you wanted?”

I looked at him.

“It doesn't seem very easy to use.”

An Lam Trach rushed towards me, trying to grab me. But his hand... The moment it touched me, it pierced again straight through. It's like the two of you are no longer on the same "timeline". He was stunned. I was also stunned. Then I understood. He's starting to lose his "positioning".

“It's still not enough.”

“The third version of me” spoke up.

“One more floor.”

I nodded. I did something that even I didn't expect. I walked in front of the mirror. Stare at yourself. Then say something to the mirror.

“If there are other me…”

“Then show up.”

The air was silent in the blink of an eye. Just then... The mirror's surface began to ripple. Like water. The next second... Another me walked out. Then comes the second person. Third person. They look exactly the same. But the eyes are different. Some people are confused. Some people are angry. There are people... Calm like me. Lam Trach was completely panicked.

“You can't do that!”

His voice began to distort.

“The system will collapse!”

“Then let it fall.”

The entire space began to shake. Not vibration in the physical sense. Time is shaking. I saw countless images overlapping each other. The first time I met him. The first time we argued. The day we registered our marriage. To Uyen is pregnant. The other woman smiled at him. All happened at the same time. They all exist at the same time. Lam Trach stood in the middle. Every version of him. They all appeared at the same time. Speak up at the same time. Collapsed at the same time. He began to no longer know who he was. I also don't know what time period we are in now.

“Stop…”

he said.

“Please…”

That was the first time I heard him speak in such a tone. It's too late.

“Don't you really like controlling time?”

I walked in front of him.

“Then this time…”

I looked at him and spoke softly.

“You just stay in there alone.”

That moment... Everything suddenly went quiet. It's like someone hit the pause button. Right after that... All the “Lin Trach” started to pile up on each other. Blend together. In the end... Only a shadow remained. The light returns. The room also returned to its original state. Quiet as if nothing had ever happened. I still stood in place. My hands were still shaking slightly. I slowly turned my head. To Uyen is still there. The baby in her womb is still there. But she looked at me. It's like looking at a stranger.

“My third version”...

Has disappeared. The other "me"... Also disappeared. I walked in front of the mirror. Look at yourself. Everything is very normal. There aren't any changes. But in my heart I understand very clearly... There are some things... They are no longer the same. A few days later. Everything seems to be back to normal. Lam Trach... No longer exists. No one remembers him. The company does not have any records. Can't find it in the system either. It's like... He never appeared in this world. To Uyen gave birth to a child. Is a boy. She doesn't contact me anymore. I didn't go looking for her either. We are like two straight lines. Only intersect once. Then go in two different directions. I moved house. Change jobs. Start living alone. Very normal. Very quiet. One morning. While brushing my teeth, I looked in the mirror. Suddenly stopped. I have a feeling... The person in the mirror seems to be a beat slower than me. I blinked. She also blink. Not completely synchronized. I stared at her. She also stared at me. A few seconds later... She smiled slightly. That's not the smile I just smiled. Her own smile. The toothbrush in my hand fell to the floor. At that moment, I finally understood something. It's true that we destroyed that system. But the problem is... We cannot be sure... That in this world... There is really only one "me" left.
