"My silence does not mean ignorance."

Bai Ziming knows the truth behind the X District Incident but chooses to conceal crucial information to prevent the balance of temporal anomalies from being disturbed too soon.

His silence stems from a sense of duty to protect the future, even when faced with the deaths of Li Anqing and Zhang Huan'an's disappearance, he remains steadfast in his choice not to interfere with the natural progression of the anomalies.

He knows far more than he lets on, yet chooses to observe quietly as the anomaly cycle unfolds.
