"Something related to the planet, you say?" Grey asked calmly.
"Oh yeah," Lin Fang chimed in quickly. "The system mentioned something like that before."
He stopped himself there and let the system speak instead.
[That is correct.]
[The future is not fixed.]
[It is constantly changing.]
[Someone, or something, is deliberately altering future outcomes.]
The system paused briefly before continuing.
[All missions I assigned to Lin Fang were calculated based on probabilities and possible future trajectories.]
[Including the missions related to the protagonist.]
[However…]
[A variable keeps appearing.]
[I did not know who or what this variable is.]
[But this variable was severely disrupting future outcomes.]
[And more importantly, the variable itself does not seem aware of what it is doing.]
[…]
The system fell silent for a moment.
When it spoke again, its tone was noticeably more serious.
