Chapter 20: The Worm of Time (5)
As if he had been rescued from the water by a drowning person, and like a suffocating person regaining his breath, Zhao Chensi suddenly sat up from the soft and comfortable bed with his eyes wide, covered with cold sweat, and sat on the bed panting heavily.
The classical interior of the hot spring villa was not unfamiliar, the wall clock was still ticking, and the memories of the previous collapse of consciousness rushed into Zhao Chensi's mind, but it could not help him understand the current situation, and the current situation, which was completely opposite to the memory, made him even more confused.
Is this my room? By the way, why am I here because this is the room in the hot spring mountain resort? In terms of time, I must have died before dinner? No, I'm still alive and still have a heartbeat so this is the world after death? Or was it just a dream? No, even if it's a dream, this dream is too complete, the ins and outs, the details before and after can be remembered without the slightest jump, and even if you wake up, you can't feel a sense of disobedience
Countless thoughts popped out of his mind, and these thoughts and arguments were constantly raised, and the next second they were immediately refuted by himself, and soon they were all gathered by him for the same purpose.
First try to prove it and figure out the status quo
It only took a few seconds for Zhao Chensi to calm down his rapid breathing and heartbeat, turned over and jumped off the bed, pulled out the wooden chair in front of the classical desk and sat on it, and at the same time called to the girl who accompanied him like a muttering to himself: Shi Yu, are you listening? I have something to confirm with you.
The girl who lived with him in the same body let out a sigh, as if she knew the doubts in his heart, and answered in advance before he could ask the question: I also have something to tell you, I just had a very real dream, a dream about us all dead
It seems that it is not a simple dream, there is no need to explain more, Zhao Chensi's situation on Shiyu's side should be similar to his own.
In the incident in Changsheng Village, he was saved by her when he was stabbed by an immortal slash and was dying, and Shi Yuhe, who turned into dust and mist, filled his wounds and merged with him. And Shi Yu, who should have endured the pain of his body being cut into dust particles forever because of the loss of his body, also gained a new body in disguise because of this fusion. However, although the two are symbiotic and co-prosperous, the two sides are not connected on the spiritual level, at most they can only share what they see and hear physically, which is equivalent to two souls being stuffed into one body.
What both parties can witness together can only be what they see and hear through the flesh. This is also the basis for Zhao Chensi to be sure that he is not simply dreaming, he sat at the table and found a pen and paper in his hand: Let's compare what we experienced in the 'dream'.
Good. Shi Yu, who is symbiotic in the body, does not talk nonsense, and says directly and concisely: There is a time thief hiding in this hot spring mountain resort, he seems to have been planning here for a long time, and will steal the time of the travelers in the hot spring mountain resort in the near future, and then hold a promotion ceremony in the hall.
But we found out too late, he stole the travelers' time one by one, and by the time we arrived to stop it, it was too late, his promotion ceremony was successful, and almost all the travelers' time and lives were also sacrificed by him, and you finally fought to the death against the ritual-enhanced time stealer in order to help the only surviving little girl among the travelers escape, and finally your time was also stolen by the time stealer, and I don't know what happened next, because before you turned to ashes and disappeared, my consciousness had already collapsed.
Well, my memory is not much different from what you said, which is enough to prove that we saw the same thing Zhao Chensi said while writing words such as 'Time Stealer', 'Sacrifice Ceremony' and 'Little Girl' on the paper, and then drew circles one by one, comparing what Shi Yu said with his own memory, and finally subconsciously bit the pen cap, fighting to the death, now think about it, in order to protect a little girl who has never known all her life, stand up and challenge a strong enemy who is far stronger than herself, am I mentally retarded? Why do you have to go head-to-head with enemies who are so much stronger than me?..
Hey? Is that so? But if you really want to say it, you should have been killed by someone else at that time, even if you don't hit it hard, you have no chance of winning, just when he sighed like this, Shi Yu didn't have the slightest malice or mockery
Asked choked him back.
It is precisely because it is a word without malice that it seems hurtful.
cough cough Zhao Chensi was choked by Shi Yu's words, and after a while, he relieved himself and changed the topic awkwardly, Okay, let's get back to the topic. As for what we see, I suspect that someone has given us a picture of the future, or rather, some kind of time rewinding phenomenon.
As he spoke, he wrote down his conclusions on paper.
This is a step back in time based on a purpose or mission, or a foresight of the future
But at this time, Shi Yu made a questioning voice: But can foreseeing the future allow the two of us to see the same but slightly different things?
So I'm more inclined to the conclusion of time backtracking, although this conclusion really feels incredible, Shi Yu, have you ever seen the life in the other world that started from o?
Yes! Was it reincarnated in that other world? Every time you get to a new save point, the male protagonist has to die seven or eight times to pass the level?
That's right, but what I'm going to say is that Zhao Chensi gently taps the desktop with the cap of the pen, and the tip of the pen unconsciously draws circles on the conclusions he wrote, I remember that the protagonist has a phenomenon called 'Death Return', once he dies, he will return to the time point of the previous record, as long as he fails to clear the next checkpoint, he has to keep reading the file and repeating it
If it's really something like this time backwinding, then it can explain why we have memories of the same experience, because it's not a dream, it's something we really experienced, you and I can share what we see and hear in this body, so you will know it too, but this also begs the question &ash;&ash;
Zhao Chensi said, and drew a straight line that extended out on this conclusion, and then wrote down two words in a dragon and a phoenix.
Motivation.
Why do we do this to help us return from the dead?
Shi Yu's thoughtful voice sounded in his ears: Well, you say, could it be that you hope we can avoid this ending?
So since he has the ability to go back in time, why doesn't he take it himself?
Maybe he can't defeat the Time Stealer on his own, so he wants to use our power, after all, you have the Undead Slash that can kill the undead.
That makes sense, but is it really that simple? Zhao Chensi frowned, there was a heavier question that he didn't raise, that is, they still had a few chances to reopen, by the way, Shi Yu, do you remember the time when the mutation happened? When might the first victims have appeared?
Well, I think it should be after dinner, right? Shi Yu thought about it and replied halfway, I remember that dinner seems to start at half past six, and it should be almost time.
Zhao Chensi nodded, put the scribbled paper on the table into his pocket, took the coat hanging on the hanger at the door, and walked out of the room with a big backpack on his back.
What are we going to do?
Let's identify and protect the victims, gather some information, and go to the lobby to step on the dots and make some preparations in advance. Although it may be possible to retrace the fight, it should not be regarded as something that is taken for granted, and it is not possible to gather information and intelligence through repeated suicide retracement. Death rollback is just a strategy, to maximize the benefits in each reincarnation as much as possible,
If we had found out who was the time thief in advance, we might have been able to avert the impending tragedy and save the lives of those people.
But he only thought about this sentence in his heart, and didn't say it.
Zhao Chensi's luck was not too bad, and he ran into the first passenger soon after walking out of the room with his bag on his back.
It was a young big sister who had babbled and prayed in the car, as if she had some religious beliefs.
That Zhao Chensi wanted to talk to her, but he didn't have any accosting experience at all, like a social waster, he came to his lips, only to find that he didn't seem to know how to open this mouth.
Obviously, I used to communicate with people, and this kind of thing was obviously done by Wan Qi on my behalf
But when he was still struggling with how to talk, the big sister took the initiative to talk to him: Yes
God bless you
God? Zhao Chensi became vigilant when he heard this, and subconsciously wondered if the big sister in front of him was a time thief or some kind of cultist, his head turned quickly, and while trying to recall his friend's social skills in dealing with people, he put on an interested expression and asked: What kind of thing do you believe?
As soon as he said this, he knew that it was bad, because he saw that the smile on the face of the big sister opposite froze, and there was even a speechless cry in his ears.
Eh, didn't Zhao Chensi, who realized that he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly waved his hand and explained clumsily: I mean, what kind of religion do you believe?
This time, however, the eldest sister did not answer his question, but only smiled at him awkwardly but politely, and then turned away.
Hahahahaha! What kind of chatter are you! Hahahaha laughed at me!
Okay, don't laugh, let's put this big sister on the list of suspects first. People who believe in this kind of god chatter, there is a high probability that they are cultists or believers in some kind of transcendent power, Zhao Chensi can hear Shi Yu who burst into laughter in his consciousness, and his face feels a little unbearable, so he turned his head and walked towards the hall downstairs: Forget it, I'll go to the hall to see the situation
