7. Control

"What's wrong?"

Tong Momo looked at Lin Shuo suspiciously.

She didn't believe that the pervert in front of her didn't have a talent for time.

The agencies responsible for researching the exclusion zone around the world had already determined six or seven years ago that in the 1-01 exclusion zone, a city in a time loop, everything would reset constantly, and it would be impossible for anyone to retain memories.

Life, Spirit, Matter, Space...... Everything changes under time, and it is impossible to escape the restart of time.

This pervert knows her so well, like an unpredictable prophet, and knows that time is in cycles, even if she is not an alien fire stealer, she should have some kind of talent for time.

Otherwise it is simply impossible to explain all this.

“…… You guessed it right. ”

Lin Shuo nodded lightly and said, "I do have a talent for time. ”

"Oooh?" Tong Momo's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Don't tell me yet, let me guess...... I guess your talent for time is predicting the future, right? ”

"You've got a bit of a brain." Lin Shuo deliberately glanced at her in surprise.

The corners of Tong Momo's mouth curled, and said: "You have always been unpredictable about my actions, and you can perceive that time is looping, obviously by predicting the future, you find that every day in the future is the same, although my brain is not very smart, but this can still be deduced." ”

Lin Shuo nodded slightly, with an expression of 'ouch good' on his face, and a secret smile in his heart.

The reason why Tong Momo was able to deduce this was only that he deliberately gave these conditions so that she could guess that he had the talent for 'predicting the future'.

As for the true ability of that mysterious power, he naturally wouldn't say it.

Because, in the time loop, everything resets, and it is impossible to keep the memory, the secret has long been known to him.

The so-called tree is a big move, he wants to leave Subei City and return to the outside world, so he still has to keep a low profile.

It's too unique to be a good thing.

This secret was told by Tong Momo himself in shock when he knew that he could keep his memory.

Of course, she didn't say it in this cycle.

Yes.

It was not the first time Lin Shuo had confronted Tong Momo.

Speaking of which, Tong Momo is trapped in this city, and it is already the eighth time loop, but she herself doesn't know it.

When Lin Shuo first discovered Tong Momo's existence, he was unprecedentedly surprised and excited.

He knows all the millions of people in the city, and he knows their daily movements.

And after Tong Momo, an outsider, came, the impact she caused was like a butterfly effect, causing some people in Subei City to change their past action trajectories, and he was soon aware of it.

After he personally investigated, he found Tong Momo's traces.

With his understanding of millions of people in Subei City, he naturally recognized Tong Momo as an outsider at a glance.

He hadn't seen a fresh face in a long time, and outsiders knew how to get in and out of the mist's secrets, so he was naturally excited.

It's a pity that in the first confrontation, he had a ...... about Tong Momo's personality, hobbies, shortcomings, abilities, and poison I didn't know any of these aspects, and I was directly involved in Tong Momo's mission and died on the spot.

However, Lin Shuo also made preparations before he died, and when he died, the bomb he had set up in advance was also directly detonated.

In this way, Tong Momo can be prevented from leaving Subei City.

As long as time is restarted, she will be reset and resurrected, including memory, she doesn't know that she has experienced a time loop, let alone Lin Shuo's existence.

Then, it was a failure after failure.

For Tong Momo, a difficult character with a variety of poisonous Gu and a talent for time, even if she is arrested, she may be poisoned by her Gu if she is not careful.

Every time, Tong Momo would tell some truth, pretend to be honest to paralyze Lin Shuo, and then find an opportunity to kill him.

For example, a centipede suddenly spits in its mouth.

For example, toxins oozed from her skin.

For example, a certain Gu in her body made her adrenaline soar, and her strength skyrocketed, directly breaking the rope that was not strong enough.

For example, when Lin Shuo approached, she would spray a mouthful of poisonous mist on his face, causing him to be nervous paralyzed.

Every time she fails, she forces out one or two of her hole cards.

And he will prepare in advance every time, even if he dies, he will definitely not let Tong Momo leave Subei City alive.

Especially in the last time loop, Lin Shuo had already successfully caught Tong Momo, and also knew a lot of her secrets and the outside world.

But in the end, when Tong Momo was chatting with him, at the cost of self-injury, he let a leech-like Gu break out of his body, climbed out of the bed in a blind corner that he couldn't see, and after going around in a circle, he sneaked up and bit him.

Even if he reacted quickly, he was bitten on the back of his hand, and after the astonishing toxin entered his body, it quickly caused his organs to fail, as if he had been hollowed out.

But Tong Momo's hole cards were also forced out by him.

Until this time, Lin Shuo came up with a truly perfect plan, and finally got the truth he wanted to know from her mouth.

As for whether what she said was true or false, he could also tell.

Of course –

It's not because he has studied professional psychology, the so-called micro-expression observation is not so godly.

Mainly because most of the information in it, Lin Shuo knew it from her mouth before, and compared some of the information she knew a few times before, and then asked in different ways and sequences, she could naturally judge whether she was lying or not.

What's more, by pretending to know this information for the first time, he could avoid being noticed by her that he was able to keep his memory.

Everything is under his control.

……

"However, since you have a talent for time, can't you leave Subei City yet?"

Tong Momo asked suspiciously, "Haven't you tried to enter the layer of fog on the edge of Subei City?" ”

"Of course I did." Lin Shuo shook his head lightly and said, "But it's useless." ”

"It's not just going out."

Tong Momo explained: "The way to enter and exit the No. 1-01 forbidden area is different, you must enter the deep fog shrouded in the edge of Subei City before the time restarts, and when the time restarts, you will find that you have left the forbidden area." ”

"I don't know, I've ever tried it."

Lin Shuo frowned slightly, and said: "But such a simple idea, I definitely can't miss it, and judging from the future clip I predicted, I should have tried, and I'm still in Subei City, obviously failed." ”

He kept in mind that he couldn't keep his memories in a time reset.

Since he didn't have the memory of the last time, and leaving the forbidden area must be to enter the fog in the last cycle, he shouldn't know if he had tried.

The phrase 'predicting the future' can only be used.

In fact, that mysterious power has broken through the cage of time.

"It's also ......"

Tong Momo also frowned and said: "Such a simple method, you can naturally think of it, then it's strange......"

Lin Shuo asked: "Outside world, are there any cases of fire thieves who can't leave the forbidden area?" ”

"No, only inside the forbidden area can you awaken the talent of time, and only when you come out of the forbidden area can you become a fire thief." Tong Momo shook her head slightly.

She lay on the bed, frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said, "Ah, I have thought of the reason!" ”
