Alvin sighed. He didn’t expect his girlfriend to almost find out something wrong on her first check on him.
In order to further reassure Aurelia, Alvin felt that it was necessary to say something more convincing and logical.
“How could I have an affair with Camilla? Think about it, I’m just a poor office worker. I’m not handsome, and she’s the daughter of a noble family. There’s no way she would take a fancy to me.”
Alvin felt that what he said was very reasonable.
Well, at least it sounded very reasonable.
As for the actual situation…
When the system had started to calculate Camilla’s favorability, the truth had been very obvious. He had gotten Camilla’s secret favor by accident.
However, this matter could not be revealed to Aurelia even if he was beaten to death.
Therefore, Alvin paused for a moment before adding, “Not many people would like an ordinary person like me. Don’t worry.”
“No.”
On the other end of the phone, Aurelia’s tone was firm. “Alvin, you’re not as bad as you have said.”
“In my opinion, you’re at least a very smart man. You might be a little carefree in front of your friends, but when you’re alone, you actually have a very mature mind. All of this comes from your work experience and education. Your way of thinking is different from ordinary people’s. This may be a bad thing, but it can also be a good thing…”
Alvin was stunned while listening. He felt as if he had heard this before. At the same time, he felt as if he had also said something similar previously.
After a long while, Alvin came to his senses. Wasn’t this what he had said to Camilla just now?
How did Aurelia learn it as well?
“Alright, I know that comforting you this way is useless to you.”
On the other end of the phone, Aurelia lowered her voice. “But this is what you told me. When you meet someone who is self-deprecating, you lavish praise and compliments on him. You praise a man for being smart and a woman beautiful. It definitely won’t go wrong.”
Alvin was speechless. He had almost fallen into his own trap.
However, Alvin knew that this was not a good topic and there was no need to delve into it. Thus he directly asked, “Did you know that there was an industrial accident at your place?”
Aurelia was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone. She was silent for a second and then replied in an exaggerated tone as if she was gossiping about something.
“Yes, I know.”
“Not only did I know, I even went to the scene to take a look!”
“Boy, I really can’t describe the spectacle of that scene. It’s completely different from what you saw on the news!”
“It seems to be a fire.”
“The fire department had closed down the area, so I could only stand in the distance and watch.”
“I could even see people running out covered in the fire!”
“The smoke directly reached the sky! A fire burned down their building, starting from the second floor. In the end, it spread to the entire building…”
When Alvin heard this, he interrupted.
“The news said that they still haven’t found out where the source of the fire was.”
What Alvin meant was very simple. The news said that they were still investigating the location of the source of the fire so that they could plan and segregate their responsibilities.
However, from Aurelia’s description, she directly said that the source of the fire was from the second floor.
Therefore, Alvin once again confirmed that Aurelia was most likely the instigator of this incident.
“You did it, didn’t you?”
Alvin asked.
It was silent on the other end until Aurelia said, “They deserved it.”
Alvin stopped talking. He slowly listened to Aurelia telling the truth.
“There are still five years before the ancient civilization awakens. At this point in time, this factory is still ordinary, doing ordinary jobs and making ordinary money…”
“But after the ancient civilization awakens, the two civilizations will fall into a long tug-of-war.”
“This factory will bring along their equipment to the enemy and produce military supplies for the enemy.”
“I was reborn in this life. Apart from catching up with my good friends, I naturally have to eliminate the enemy in advance.”
After hearing Aurelia’s explanation, Alvin fell into deep thought.
According to this explanation, the war between the two civilizations back then definitely should have reached a large scale.
There must have been many factories that defected to the enemy.
But why did Aurelia care so much about this factory? She had even gone so far and rushed over just to get rid of them in advance?
This was not the style of a normal person. If Aurelia was determined to get rid of all the traitors in advance, then Aurelia would have a lot of work to do and would not have time to catch up.
If Aurelia had not planned to make a move at this time, then she would not have left in such a hurry today.
The only explanation was that Aurelia had a personal grudge against that factory.
As for what this personal grudge was, Alvin would know even without thinking.
Alvin continued to ask, “Let me guess. The weapons produced by this factory killed Camilla, your other friends, or me, right?”
Aurelia fell into a long silence. And Alvin said lightly, “It’s okay, just tell me.”
Actually, until now, Alvin still did not fully understand Aurelia. As for why she had reincarnated, they tacitly did not mention it.
Alvin’s train of thought was very simple.
He knew that Aurelia loved him very much.
If his previous self was still alive, then Aurelia would have no reason to return to the past.
The only explanation that could make Aurelia let go of her obsession and return to the present was that his previous self was already dead.
“It’s the white phosphorous bomb.”
Aurelia seemed to have made a great mental struggle and finally said as if she heaved a sigh of relief. “The one who died was you, Alvin. You were burned to death by the white phosphorous bomb produced by their factory.”
“You didn’t die in the hands of the hostile civilization, but by the betrayal of your own people.”
“When I returned to the scene… it was ridiculous.”
“I couldn’t even recognize that it was your body. That was my Alvin, my true love.”

Alvin listened to all of this quietly, listening to his own death.
He had originally thought that his death would be similar to what happened in all the heroic movies. He would die in a pool of blood like a warrior, tragically ending his life. If it could be accompanied by a piece of tragic background music, that would be the best…
However, it seemed that at that time, he did not even have the chance to make a glorious sacrifice. He died in the most painful way. The flames that could not be chased away stuck to his skin and burned him alive.
Aurelia’s voice came from the other end of the phone again.
“They have yet to commit any substantial acts of betrayal now. This is a blood debt that cannot be settled, but I will definitely take revenge..”
