Doomsday Jigsaw Game

When time is closed, it is difficult to tell which period of time is at the starting point and which period of time is at the end.

I am his past and my future.

This is the relationship between Lao K and Lin Rui.

Time backtracking allows you to go back to a specific point in time.

In essence, Lao K and Lin Rui are actually the same body.

So when Lin Rui looked at Old K with no mask and only body spots in shock, his face was full of confusion.

The first generation smiled and put on the mask and began to solve his own puzzle:

"To make two eras and two completely different versions of me appear at the same time, I have only seen Xiao Yugan's body be able to do this. Her huge mental power can distort reality at any time and create people with different personalities, but Split bodies with similar abilities.”

"I can't, that's not my area of ​​expertise."

Lin Rui already recognized that person.

"I don't know exactly when you are now, or when I am."

"But, one thing I am sure of is that you and I are each other's past or future, which makes time close the loop and become a circle, so as long as time keeps looking back, I believe there will eventually be a point in time when you …”

"I'll be you!"

"It is very difficult to go back in time and space to a state that you don't remember, so I was thinking... whether to use the fusion disease."

The first generation said a lot in one breath, but now Lin Rui is just too... at a loss.

"Teacher...Master?"

Lin Rui, who didn't know everything yet, naturally regarded the first generation as his teacher.

At this time, he always believed that the masked hero was a person who had nothing to do with him but had the fate of master and apprentice.

He didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he would see his master.

"Master? Hahahahahahaha..."

The first generation let out his signature exaggerated laugh, which made Lin Rui look confused.

After laughing for a long time, he suddenly remembered the conversation they had when they first met.

"Although we have gone through a tiring journey, fortunately... we meet again!"

Lin Rui patted his face gently and said in a daze:

"What the hell is going on? I remember that I seemed to have fallen asleep...I saw my former classmates...I remembered, I died..."

The first generation touched his chin and said proudly:

"Really? It seems that in the state of fusion disease, my retracement of time is quite accurate. It seems that I have completely achieved the accuracy of the sequence through the source power."

Lin Rui was still puzzled.

The first generation began to slowly explain:

"Fusion disease allows me to break through to the next level, but it is also dangerous because once fusion disease strikes, it can spiral out of control."

"It's just that I still want to try... If you are me and I am you, then theoretically, Shi Hui can bring me back to the state of 'you'."

Lin Rui didn't understand yet.

Naturally, I didn't realize that the first generation had actually shown an amazingly powerful talent.

Not long ago, he was not even as accurate as Xu Wei, far from being as accurate as Xu Wei.

But at this moment, I am afraid that even Xu Wei may not be able to do this.

Especially the moment when a large number of emotions overwhelm you, before your reason is destroyed, at the moment when the fusion disease occurs... let yourself and the Dharma body go back to a specific state...

What this requires is simply the most accurate grasp of the power of space and time.

Even...beyond Shi Hui.

It's like what is taught in the books is a certain formula, but what is tested on the test paper is the variant application of this formula.

Obviously, the first generation perfectly drew inferences from one instance to another and delivered an astonishing answer.

"First of all, there have to be two me... Do you understand that?"

You know what the hell! Lin Rui said this in his heart, but still nodded.

"But I can't split it, so I can only think of the Ten Thousand Appearance Dharmakaya. Do you understand?"

You understand! Lin Rui still nodded.

"This is very troublesome. In order for those two guys to decide to grant a ritual to a twisted half-evil fallen, they must be in awe of me. Fortunately... I seem to be a very likable person. Hahahahahaha... Do you understand?"

Forget it, it doesn't matter, just nod. Lin Rui pretended to understand and kept nodding.

"After doing all this, I have to practice time retrieval so that I can return to the state of 'you'."

"I have learned this, and my Dharmakaya has naturally learned this too. Do you understand?"

Master, just be happy, don't ask me if I understand... Lin Rui hasn't heard the key yet.

I just remembered these contents subconsciously, while the first generation was still explaining:

"But I'm not sure whether I can break through the limit and return to a state that is not in my memory, so I tried to put myself into a state of fusion disease, which is a state of severe mood swings."

"This is a very dangerous thing. I'm really not sure. After all, no one has ever done this kind of thing. You and I...are also extremely special."

"But..."

"Aha! I didn't expect it to come to my soul! Hahahahaha... everything is just like what Lao Bai said, we have to use absurd imagination for the future. Do I have a rich imagination? My execution ability is quite strong. ?”

The first generation smiled exaggeratedly, looking quite proud. He is indeed entitled to be proud because he did something almost crazy.

Lin Rui's exaggerated smile was what he imitated from Old K. Looking at the old K who he thought he would never see again, Lin Rui's eyes were filled with tears.

Maybe this is all a dream? But if possible...can I wake up from this dream later?

The first generation seemed to know what Lin Rui was thinking, but he didn't care because Lin Rui was still confused at this time.

And Lin Rui... hasn't noticed the most critical point yet.

So the first generation continued:

"I don't know if my behavior counts as double overtime? If we die next, does it count as dying twice? Does the process of dealing with the big devil count as the future and the past fighting together?"

"Anyway, kid... you did a good job. I didn't live up to your wishes, and you didn't live up to my inheritance!"

"But we still have unfinished business. Now, I am no longer the future, and you are no longer the past. The present us...we only have the present."

The first generation patted Lin Rui's shoulder. The words were a bit difficult to pronounce, but Lin Rui's mind was moving quickly.

Because it was fast, he connected the words that kept making him nod.

One of the key meanings he finally captured:

"Wait...I suddenly realized that you seemed to have mentioned something before..."

Lin Rui raised his head and looked at the first generation with wide eyes:

"Your past...was me?"

The smile on the smiley mask did not change at all, but the eyes of the first generation shone sharply:

"It's hard to say. My past may be you, or my future may be you. It's hard to tell... but the origin of our birth is indeed you."

Lin Rui was shocked.

An extremely huge amount of information exploded in his mind.

When he learned that Bai Wu was not the real masked hero, Lin Rui thought in his heart that maybe one day, Brother Bai would meet the real masked hero.

Maybe one day... after taking over the mask inheritance, I will also meet it.

But he never thought -

The source of everything is actually yourself.

The first generation also revealed the answer at this time:

"When you die, the negative emotions and the crisis of death make you go back to your baby state, and at the same time... it also transcends time and space."

"I don't know why I showed up at the farm, but after learning from Jing Si that you fought against him, I guessed that it might not be a coincidence."

"I am you and you are me."

Lin Rui was shocked. Although he had guessed a few things just now, he was still shocked when he heard this sentence with his own ears.

So I am the person I admire the most?

"I'm...the masked hero?"

"A mask hero? Well... you have always been one." The first generation meant something.

Lin Rui trembled with excitement.

Not long ago, he couldn't find an exit in a maze called death... Now, he finally got out of the maze, but he experienced an extremely dreamy scene.

Is this my meritorious benefit for saving Baichuan City?

What kind of paradise is this?

The twisted world is not a paradise, it is even a hell for many people, but Lin Rui's current mood... can be said to be very exciting.

The person he dreams of inheriting his style is actually himself in another timeline!

This is really...

"This is really great! Master!"

Just as the first generation was preparing to analyze various causes and effects, analyze why he appeared on the farm, whether Jing Liu was pushing it, and when he killed Lin Rui, whether Jing Si intended to save all these factors...

Lin Rui suddenly grabbed the first generation's shoulders, as excited as a child who had lived for seven hundred years:

"That's great! That's great! This couldn't be more awesome! It turns out that death...can really bring about a new journey!"

Suddenly he heard the words of an old friend, which made the first generation stunned for a moment:

"Hahahaha, this is indeed great. Next, I will slowly tell you everything that happened these days."

Lin Rui was very excited.

The first generation looked at Lin Rui's overflowing youthful spirit and suddenly realized...

It turns out that growing up in different environments is really completely different.

Although they are the same person, they have two different growth experiences. Completely different personalities.

One was born in the food city at the beginning of the distortion, before the arrival of the tower era.

Lin Rui's past is the longing for passionate comics, the obedience to ordinary life, the unrequited love and humility that he likes but cannot love.

The first generation was much crueler. Whether it was "father" Jing Yi, his friend Bai Yuan, or even himself, they were all full of distortions.

One of them went from order to distortion, and the other was born from distortion to pursue order.

Such two people are actually one body.

The first generation laughed:

"I am the hero you admire, but you also have the experiences I have never dreamed of. It's great that we are the same person."

He said this with a smile, but it made Lin Rui feel a little sore.

"A lot of things happened after you died. I will tell you slowly."

The first generation began to tell the past events word for word.

In preparation for this day, he also made many inquiries with Jiang Yimi in Baichuan City.

Bai Wu drinks the well water, Jiang Yimi's obsession breaks out, Jing Si listens to his last words, and finally saves Baichuan City...

Later, the tower changed, the area outside the fog appeared, the tower came again, and the Lord of Distortion released the seal...

And the bald man who had been rescued by Bai Wu and Lin Rui had the most glorious moment in his life...

The first generation carefully told all the stories to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui was moved and regretful, and occasionally marveled at the changes in things.

"That bald head... is he so powerful? The closed loop of time and space can actually be broken..."

"Yes, he is very powerful. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here, and we wouldn't be able to meet."

"But it's such a pity... that he died like this."

"It is indeed a pity, maybe... the Lord of Distortion may not have exhausted his energy."

Recalling Qian Yixin, although he was banned by Qian Yixin for seven hundred years, the first generation did not complain at all.

"Later, I showed up, and I retrieved the memory about the revelation that was hidden in Xiaoyugan. I originally wanted to leave it to the future generations to do, but since I am still alive, I naturally have to do it myself. .”

"So then I gathered these people, and we will soon go to the final battlefield."

The first generation's tone became solemn. After telling everything, he looked at Lin Rui calmly and seriously, and then said something very abrupt.

"Boy, from today on, you are you and I am me."

Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of this sentence. He nodded seriously:

"Okay...from now on, you are you and I am me."

The two people who once closed the loop like ouroboros have now become two different individuals.

Those who play with time and space have also paid the price in seven hundred years, in the boundless closed loop.

As of today...

The "ring" breaks into two halves.

"I try to do these things, except that I think you shouldn't die, and more importantly, for the upcoming decisive battle, I need more people with the power of time and space."

Lin Rui, who finally accepted everything, also came to his senses.

The joy of "I am you" quickly dissipated. In Lin Rui's heart, the "first generation mask hero" was not himself after all.

He is grateful for his past, or his future as a true hero, but he does not think that all those honors belong to him.

"I have already died once... Death is no longer that scary to me. If I can, I am willing to die again for this world."

"Hahahahahahaha... you are worthy of being my... disciple!"

The first generation let out a hearty laugh.

In a while, it will all come to an end.

Either the long-awaited world will come, or he will die again.

Now that I have seen "myself" in another timeline, I have finally fulfilled my wish.

But life is always full of regrets.

The possibility of defeating Alpha is not high, but the first generation still dreamed of a world without distortion...

When that day comes, Xiao Yugan can walk out of the memory palace, but what about Bai Yuan?

Bai Yuan should never be seen again.

Thinking of this, Chudai suddenly felt sad.

Lin Rui also thought of Bai Wu at this moment. Just like in the last era, everyone had Bai Yuan in their hearts, and in this era, everyone also has Bai Wu in their hearts.

"Master, senior...how is he doing now?"
