Chapter 273: The Final Attempt

The coffee shop on the corner has taken down the "Resting" sign, and the clerk inside has already started to clean up.

For Ishikawa, this morning was as calm as ever until the accident happened three minutes ago.

Ishikawa looked at the panting green-haired man in front of her very vigilantly, and took a few steps back:

"Sir, is there something wrong?"

The young man in front of him waved his hand and held on to the telephone pole on the side, as if his physical strength was very serious. It wasn't until a few dozen seconds later that he finally had the strength to speak:

"You don't know...... In order to...... ...... a little earlier On your way to ...... Intercept you...... What the am I ...... How fast you run......"

Hearing this, Ishikawa Xiang's face was even more wrong, as if she had misunderstood the meaning:

"What, you're stalking me?"

Tang Juyi gasped again:

"It's not that I'm following it, after all, you told me the route yourself...... But none of that matters......"

Ishikawa has a tendency to turn around and run away:

"Sir, if you don't make your intentions clear, I'm going to call for help."

Tang Juyi shook his head, and stretched out his hand as he walked towards Ishikawa Xiang:

"Don't talk nonsense, you will understand after holding hands...... I'm still waiting for you to save the world, little sister. ”

Ishikawa Xiang, who originally planned to run away directly, suddenly paused when she saw Tang Juyi's outstretched hand, revealing a suspicious expression:

"Hand in hand? Don't you"

"Yes, I know, and I know exactly what's going to happen."

Tang Juyi didn't mean to waste time at all, seeing that Ishikawa Xiang was still hesitating, he directly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, held it in his hand very rudely, and pinched it by the way.

"Wait......"

As soon as Ishikawa wanted to struggle, her pupils dilated in an instant.

Tang Juyi skillfully stabilized Ishikawa Xiang's almost fallen body, waiting for her to wake up from the reading of memory.

Different from reading other people's memories, the memories of "Takashi Yamazaki" are more immersive to read, so Ishikawa Kao's negative reactions are also more obvious, and although Tang Juyi's memory is only less than half a day, it has been repeated many times, so the amount of reading has also caused a greater load.

In this way, after each new reboot, Ishikawa's negative reaction to reading memories is even stronger.

This time it took almost a minute to read, and Ishikawa Xiang refocused her eyes, and the gaze that looked at Tang Juyi became more and more complicated:

"Twenty-one ...... Have you been through it twenty-one times? ”

Tang Juyi looked indifferent:

"Yes, the twenty-one explosions restarted, strictly speaking, is the seventeenth time we have met and chatted, and it is also the ninth time we have cooperated. Therefore, your mentality can be relaxed a little, after all, they are all old acquaintances. ”

Ishikawa Xiang broke free from Tang Juyi's arms, and her tone was as unkind as before:

"What a terrible experience, it turns out that I've known outlaws like you seventeen times who use superpowers to pick up girls."

Tang Juyi is used to Ishikawa Xiang's run:

"Although you are indeed full of youth, and it fits the description of the word 'girl', I don't think you will be the type that I can't help but talk to."

"What's more, I think it's torture rather than calling this ability a superpower."

Ishikawa Xiang's thoughts were still a little confused, because Tang Juyi's twenty-one reboots were superimposed, which was a huge flow of information, and it also had a great impact on her own will:

"Back to business...... In other words, you've figured out why, where, and when the explosion happened, and now all you need is a teammate who can cooperate with you, right? ”

Tang Juyi tidied up his tie and smiled very confidently:

"Yes, after repeated confirmation, I am 90% sure that it is a time bomb that has been planted in the upper left extension of the tunnel, and it is a bomb that can be easily defused. If someone can delay the next train, give me about ten minutes to defuse the bomb and get back to the station, and then go for my interview. ”

Ishikawa Xiang looked at Tang Juyi, with some jealousy in her eyes:

"You can quickly grasp the knowledge of bomb disposal just by looking up the information, and with an IQ like yours, you won't fall to the point where you need to ask others to recruit you, right?"

Tang Juyi is noncommittal:

"It's not right to say that it's so easy, but I have saved up such valuable experience after trying five times and failing miserably, except for taking the time to look up the information."

…………

In fact, Tang Juyi has also tried before, even if he took the subway in advance and did not encounter an explosion, but he would still be restarted after arriving at the next station.

In other words, as long as the bomb explodes smoothly, no matter what step Tang Juyi's itinerary takes, it will be counted as invalid, and then it will be pulled back to the starting point of the timeline. This also reflects the situation that a little bit of the explosion can be solved to undo the restart.

In the previous observations and attempts, Tang Juyi first took the risk of his own life, rushed into the subway tunnel in front of the staff, forced them to stop the operation of the subway, and then took advantage of the short time to run to the location of the bomb, confirmed the structure and operation principle of the bomb, and then took time to check the relevant knowledge on the Internet, and then practiced several times, and finally came close to defusing the bomb.

Needless to say, the result of the failure of practice is needless to say, as for why people need to cooperate, it is naturally because of time. If no one can take on the task of attracting attention and delaying time, then even if Tang Juyi defuses the bomb, he will not be able to continue with the next interview.

Regarding how to attract attention, Tang Juyi has also thought about it repeatedly.

First of all, you can't create too much turmoil, otherwise the subway will be maintained for a long time, and Tang Juyi will not be able to rush to the interview within the specified time.

Secondly, there must be enough time to delay, otherwise even if Tang Juyi defuses the bomb, he will be directly crushed by the speeding vehicle, and this kind of death will not even trigger the restart event.

In other words, Tang Juyi wanted Ishikawa Xiang to drag down the operation of the subway, which was equivalent to putting his life in her hands. As long as Ishikawa Xiang makes any mistakes, Tang Juyi may die completely because of a mistake in the link.

So far, the trigger condition for the restart can basically be considered to be the occurrence of an explosion, so any other form of death will lead to complete death, which is what the woman in white said, "everything is irreparable".

In fact, when Tang Juyi restarted it last time, he did not completely dismantle the bomb, but deliberately kept its explosion so that he could have a chance to restart after being captured by the subway guards.

He needed someone who could help him gain enough time to take his place as the subject of arrest and interrogation.

Ishikawa Xiang knew this very well, and also understood that she was acting as a role similar to a "scapegoat" in this plan, but she still chose to help Tang Juyi.

The reason is very simple, Tang Juyi's act of defusing the bomb is essentially the same as saving Ishikawa incense.

Even though Ishikawa Xiang had provided Tang Juyi with help nine times during the multiple reboots, she still hadn't changed her mind.

Perhaps, in addition to the factor of life-saving grace, it also stems from the mutual understanding between the two heterogeneous.
