Gu Luoxin's heart almost leaped out of his mouth as he gaped at the man before him, utterly flabbergasted. "Y–You… what?! Which team did you just say you're from?!"
Beside him, Noir remained frozen in place, his pupils dilating in sheer shock.
Jin Jiuchi's gaze bounced between them back and forth, before he promptly burst out into mirthful laughter. "Hahaha, you should see the looks on your faces! They're priceless!"
"Da Shen, how can you joke around at a time like this?!" Gu Luoxin exclaimed in frustration.
In case you're still confused about 'Echo of the Past' and why SN doesn't meet his other selves until the last day, just imagine it like this. Originally, all Shen Nianzus are one person, and it's only when they make different choices that an alternate self will be created, much like a singular line that's split into a few, depending on how many times he has died. And these lines, which had split and gone off their own way, must never meet each other because it will trigger the paradox as explained in the previous chapters. Hope you can imagine it easier this way ^^
