95: Chapter 95 Displacent of History and Loss of mory 95: Chapter 95 Displacent of History and Loss of mory “…The governnt forces of Ming Country have effectively controlled 95% of the territory of New Carthage (Parrot Island), and have submitted a note to various countries, declaring the establishnt of the Second Overseas Province.
The Whitehall spokesperson expressed regret over this matter, while severely condemning the latest round of military operations conducted by the governnt of the Ming Country in the New Continent.
The presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, O’Brien, delivered a speech, accusing the current governnt of an appeasent attitude toward the Far East Empire…”
Li Mumu put down the newspaper, rubbing her sore eyes.
“What exactly are you looking for?”
Sitting beside her, bored, having just folded her one hundredth paper airplane, Wendy couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“How do I put this…
it’s sowhat different from the history I rember.”
“Are you really a transmigrator from a future era?”
“I’m not so sure now…”
Li Mumu picked up a newspaper dated a year ago, rubbing her temples and sighed, “In my mory, the first island chain war in the Far East region occurred in the year 1900, with the Eastern Ming Empire and the Federal Governnt as the belligerents.
But in our world, the first island chain war just ended the year before last, that is, in the year 1368, and the aggressor changed from the Federal Governnt to the Frank Empire from Europe.”
“The Era Calendar is off by more than five hundred years, yet the era is still the sa one.
Do you understand what I an?”
“I don’t.”
Wendy shook her head, “I also don’t understand why you suddenly beca interested in such boring stuff.
History is just history.
What significance does it have for us living in the present?
Or are you planning to run for President?”
“You’re right, it’s aningless now.”
Li Mumu felt very conflicted.
This wasn’t the world she was familiar with, or to be more precise, not the tiline she knew.
The birth of Jesus was delayed by more than five hundred years, demons and angels walked the earth side by side, the future notorious Palace of Ten Thousand Demons had already beco the publicly known Yellowstone Throne.
There was sothing important that should have existed at this point in ti, but she completely forgot it, no matter how hard she tried to rember.
In its place, was a New Continent she had never heard of before.
The New Continent, sothing that could still be wild, was it just discovered by explorers in this era?
It seed to be quite substantial in size.
The inaugural President of the new governnt of Ming Country was still that familiar woman.
However, on the West Coast of the Federal Governnt, the rise in power and scale of the Chinese communities far exceeded the history she knew.
The Four Seas Comrce Guild, which she had never heard of in her previous life, either in history textbooks or in video gas, had already developed into an overwhelming giant here.
Not just in Saifu City, but the entire autonomous state, and almost the entire West Coast of the Federation, was under the control of the Four Seas Comrce Guild.
They even had their own fleet and national defense force, possessing exclusive banks and military-industrial enterprises.
Her father in this life, Mu Yuming, was a middle manager in a trading company under the Four Seas Comrce Guild.
If she were to take her father’s surna, would she be called Mumu Mu?
That really sounds terrific…
The historical developnt of this tiline was completely different from what she rembered, which ant she had no advantages as a transmigrator.
In this era, almost everything a transmigrator could co up with had already been invented by others.
Unable to create anything, the ‘I reckon a quick Baidu search’ style of enlightening a tech tree couldn’t necessarily make money or beco powerful.
The waters of this world were too deep, beyond the grasp of the average person.
All Li Mumu wanted now was to return to her country as soon as possible and find an organization to cling to.
The Special Affairs Bureau in this era, it seems, had not yet changed its na, and should be called the Special Service Bureau?
Its full na was the Bureau of Special Affairs Response.
I have a job within the system, damn it…
even if it’s just temporary, I just submitted my application for regular employnt, and haven’t even received my heatstroke prevention and cooling subsidy yet!
“I heard my dad was assigned to Tiann City…”
Li Mumu was talking, and when she suddenly looked up, she couldn’t see Wendy’s figure.
Wendy had disappeared.
In the vast library, only she remained, utterly alone.
The dim light from the kerosene lamp could only illuminate the imdiate three feet of her surroundings; beyond that was an impenetrable darkness.
The towering bookshelves vanished into the dark, like stacked mountains trapping her in this confined space.
“Anchoring successful!”
[Your na is Li Mumu]
[This is not the world you are familiar with]
[You realize sothing has changed, but you can’t rember what it was.]
[You sense an unknown danger]
[Go find Wendy]
Li Mumu set down the newspaper without a sound, picked up the kerosene lamp, and walked toward the nearest window.
It was pitch-black outside as well, with no moon in the sky.
The streets were shrouded in a thick fog, which did not seem like the smog produced by industrial manufacturing, but rather sothing more moist, sticky, and bone-chillingly cold.
An ice flower silently ford on the glass window.
The frail light from the window seed to have attracted the attention of sothing in the darkness.
Li Mumu acutely felt those malevolent gazes cast upon her and imdiately extinguished the lamp.
Now everyone was shrouded in darkness, no one could see anyone else.
[For a professional ga reviewer and strear, morizing ga maps to find shortcuts for future speedrun videos is part of your job.]
[You realize you need to find a useful weapon for defense]
[You recall the layout of the library]
The blueprint of the entire library was quickly constructed in Li Mumu’s mind.
Without the obstructions designed by nefarious ga planners, any normal building wouldn’t be constructed as a confusing labyrinth.
Li Mumu held the kerosene lamp in her hand and silently moved along the walls.
She did not rashly call out for Wendy.
That fellow, as a native, had a stronger will to survive than herself.
And the current situation had a strong sense of déjà vu—it was almost identical to yesterday.
[You gradually start to rember so common knowledge about this world]
[This world is plagued by a natural disaster known as “temporal tides.”]
[On nights of the full moon, the gates to the Otherworld silently open, and the ignorant who step through may never return.]
[When the moon is hidden, monsters from the Otherworld will descend upon this world, and ordinary people discovered by the monsters will beco their prey.]
[The good news is, you are not among the ordinary; even the spokespersons for demons must address you respectfully as ‘Madam’.
You and Wendy have spent years roaming the streets and alleys of Safo City, leaving your footprints in almost every corner.]
[The bad news is, this is not one of those worlds you and Wendy used to enter and exit as if they were your backyard, worlds that were not dangerous.
You feel alien here.]
Thump, thump, thump—
Soone was knocking on the door of the library.
