1TWITF[C Chapter 145

Chapter 145

The tabletop was piled with papers, and if the words written on them were seen by others, they would surely cause a sensation.

Because, they were all filled with prophecies.

That way, they could never be restored.

Afterward, Lu Yanli got up and went out. After walking for a while, the light gradually returned to his eyes.

Lu Yanli, hiding in the Spirit Medium Town ten years later, had experienced everything. In his past, he had also been schemed against by his future self, and suffered greatly.

In the end, he successfully killed his future self, but he ultimately became his future self, needing to constantly scheme against Lu Yanli in this timeline.

He always felt a sense of panic in his heart, worried that he would die at the hands of his past self, just like the future self he had killed. So he could only constantly return to the past, making changes before everything happened.

He had succeeded several times before, but…

Lu Yanli thought of those eyes.

The first time he killed his future self, his future self seemed to have foreseen this ending. He calmly accepted death, but… his eyes were very complex, so complex that even he, who believed he could see through people’s hearts, could not decipher them. He seemed to want to tell him something, but… until his heart stopped beating, he still said nothing.

At that time, what did he want to tell his past self?

He had killed his future self, and then killed his past self through repeated reincarnations. He had already felt the yoke around his neck. He admitted that the future self he had killed was correct in his approach.

Repeated reincarnations, allowing the past him to kill the future him, formed a closed time loop. Even if he only lived in a cyclical period of time, the identity of “Lu Yanli” could still survive.

But… he was unwilling.

He didn’t want to become a stepping stone, not even for his past self. But he was afraid that doing too much would easily cause a butterfly effect, so he only needed to change things little by little.

He chose those who were destined to stand against him in the future, and planted seeds in their hearts, so that they could not resist him. But after he had done all this, he suddenly realized that the future him he had killed had also done this before; otherwise, Lin Chu and the others would not have appeared in the research institute.

It was as if, no matter what he did, he was destined to form part of the time loop.

No, I definitely can, Lu Yanli silently chanted in his heart.

He longed to find a suitable opportunity to break this loop and then reach a new world.

And now…

Lu Yanli looked at the gray smog in the sky, silently calculating in his heart.

Lu Yanli stared at the gray fog, calculating the time.

And he only needed to wait here for everything to pass. Because he had enough bargaining chips to trade with “God” in his hands.

*

In another world, Lu Yanli, who had reunited with Chu Xian, was still exploring her secrets.

She pushed open that door—

In an instant, Chu Xian gasped for breath, her face covered in sweat.

At that time, the world they were in had become a wasteland. Because of nuclear experiments, large numbers of organisms had died or mutated. The remaining healthy people moved into underground residences.

Various countries began to study how to allow humans to better adapt to harsh environments. Some proposed improving genes, some tried to mechanize humans, and some believed that aliens existed in the universe and wanted to communicate with alien civilizations…

There was scientific research in every direction, and the final result was the creation of batches of strange creatures. Those things were all secretly executed and discharged into the sea. Anyway, there were enough strange creatures in the sea, so it didn’t matter to add a batch of dead things.

Chu Xian still remembered the craziest professor in the research institute. He had always wanted to save the world, and for this reason, he proposed the conjecture of time-space travel.

According to legend, as long as the speed could exceed the speed of light, time could be reversed.

He studied it for almost his entire life, but in the end, there were still no results. All experiments failed, and he turned his attention to cosmic matter. He discussed with another department that specialized in exploring the universe, hoping that they could bring back a black hole or a little black hole matter.

It was said that black holes could devour everything. There was also another conjecture that the end of a black hole was another world.

Obviously, this crazy proposal was rejected, and the professor finally only got some strange cosmic matter.

A worse world started with that professor. He studied it for a lifetime, and the field of research had long exceeded the scope that ordinary experts could understand. In the end, he didn’t know what thoughts he had. He seemed to be desperate for science and turned to theology.

Images that she thought she should have forgotten long ago floated into Chu Xian’s mind.

“Hahahaha—no wonder, no wonder I have no results in my entire life. Because… the end of science is theology!”

“How can humans set foot in the realm of God?”

That professor turned his head, his face full of madness: “But, I did it! Do you believe it? I did it!”

“Professor, what did you do?” Chu Xian asked.

“I created—God!”

He took out a statue from his suitcase, which was no bigger than his elbow. The statue was made of an unknown material, bizarre, twisted, and scarlet. He threw the statue into the sea, and the sound of laughter was scattered by the sea breeze, and the waves could not cover his roar.

“He’s gone to another world! He can travel through time and space!”

“What about the realm of God? I will definitely…”

Before he could finish speaking, a big wave swept over and swept him into the high-pitched vortex.

Hearing this, Lu Yanli asked, “Did the research institute throw those who failed in the experiments into the sea?”

“Yes, because they were contagious.”

There was another silence.

“Other worlds? You found a way?”

“Yes, after the professor’s death, we found a vortex in the sea. This vortex seemed to lead to another world, so we discharged all the things that could not be solved into the vortex. At present, no items can return, except…” Chu Xian’s face was slightly distorted, as if in pain, but she still said it, “Except for a statue.”

“The statue that was thrown into the sea by the professor, it appeared again! Its material is unknown, its purpose is unknown, it cannot be destroyed, and it will make people fall into illusions. We stored it well according to the highest level of storage methods, but no matter where it is placed, it will affect other items and affect the people around it.”

“It’s just… before we could banish it, it disappeared.”

In the early stage, Chu Xian was an investigator trained by the research institute. In the later stage, because of the professor’s death, she concealed the news that Chu Xiu was present and was regarded as the only person who witnessed the professor’s death. Other senior executives of the research institute unanimously believed that she might know something and secretly promoted her to the chief person in charge.

Therefore, only she knew this secret.

Lu Yanli only felt like laughing.

Is this the source of everything? It’s really… too ridiculous.

Everyone is so ridiculous, the truth he has been pursuing has turned out to be just because of another world’s madness?

He really laughed out loud, and the laughter grew louder and louder, floating over the isolated city.

His hand was still on Chu Xian’s shoulder, unknowingly slowly sliding towards her neck, and then, his fingertips stopped at the other person’s throat, he seemed to be able to feel the trembling of each breath.

Human life is really fragile, as long as you press hard, it will die in just a few tens of seconds.

“What does your world’s collapse have to do with other people?”

Then, it brought the king of Erdai Kingdom to his world.

Lu Yanli asked again: “Why does your research have to interfere with other worlds?”

“Because, we are looking for a new world… all mankind… is going to move over.”

Chu Xian’s face had been distorted to the extreme by pain, and she could clearly see the undisguised killing intent and madness in Lu Yanli’s eyes.

Lu Yanli was still laughing, and the hand pinching her throat tightened little by little.

He didn’t want to know whether he had planted seeds in Chu Xian’s heart in the past.

Deeper memories were finally unlocked.

She raised her hand, not knowing whether to resist, or to put her arm around the other person’s arm like she did every time when she made progress when she was a child and those hands stroked her head.

Teacher?

Lu Yanli’s hand immediately let go.

“Teacher… I will be obedient.”

Before she died, she saw Lu Yanli’s face of disbelief for a moment.

Lu Yanli only felt incredible.

The title of teacher was clearly calling himself, but…

When did I become her teacher?

Lu Yanli stretched out his hand to explore her neck pulse, which had stopped beating. He didn’t want to believe it, but no matter how he looked at it, the other person had no vital signs.

What exactly did the future him do?

Besides Chu Xian, are there other people?

Lin Chu is dead, Chu Xian is also dead, and Chu Xiu in this world doesn’t know where he is… Lu Yanli carefully calculated, but found that there was no one left who could continue to investigate for him.

No, there is still one, Zhuang Ci is still there.

Lu Yanli suddenly stood up, he needed to find Zhuang Ci.

There is no doubt that the future self must have returned to the past through some means, perhaps the idol, and planted seeds of irresistible resistance in these people’s hearts, made them forget, and set them a command to commit suicide once they recalled it.

The future self’s psychological manipulation ability will only be stronger. He is not sure whether he can unlock the command, but he needs to do so.
