Point of difference doom

Chapter 142 Reversing the future and returning to the past

Transfer station, a few days ago.

Linxiang City has undergone tremendous changes. After considering the feasibility of a certain method, Zhou Baiyu went to the transfer station.

"That's it?" Sister Lin frowned after hearing Zhou Baiyu's question.

Zhou Baiyu came up with the idea of ​​going back to the past, wondering if he could use his own privileges to solve the problem before everything fermented.

Sister Lin replied seriously:

"Indeed, versions are calculated based on major event nodes. The current version 1.0, which is your world, has two major events."

"The first big event was the first round of defensive mode. Then it was the second round."

"Regardless, if you choose to go to version 1.0, you will be assigned to one of two events."

"This is indeed feasible. But do you really want to do it?"

Sister Lin looked at Zhou Baiyu with an extremely serious expression:

"This may be your chance to change the world."

Zhou Baiyu said:

"If I have a choice, I won't use my trump card. I'm very stingy."

"Especially when I saw a lot of atrocities, I didn't even know if it was worth it."

"But this is the place where I have lived since I was a child. There are countless people I know in this place. If it were in other places, I would be more selfish and treat them as NPCs from the Advance World game..."

"But not in Linxiang City. To be honest, when I heard Sister Lin say that this method is feasible, I felt confident."

Zhou Baiyu showed a happy smile.

His intuition has always been as accurate as cheating. This time he could foresee that the guy in the second round of defensive mode might even further torment Linxiang City.

The atrocities committed against Linxiang City by other regions have also made Linxiang City destined to never return to its previous appearance.

Zhou Baiyu couldn't accept such a mess.

"Then I hope you won't need it, or... I hope the gods will favor you this time."

Sister Lin left her blessings.

…

A few days later, the two met again.

After a grand death ceremony took place in Times Square, Zhou Baiyu disappeared under the gaze of the crowd.

He came to the transit station again.

This time, although Zhou Baiyu looked calm, Sister Lin could feel that there seemed to be some kind of shackles in Zhou Baiyu's heart.

"In the past, when you defeated the enemy and came back to me, you would always smile. What happened this time? Such a heavy gesture."

Sister Lin mixed a glass of wine.

Zhou Baiyu shook his head and recalled the scene not long ago:

"Although I know that everything can be traced back and everything can be reversed... when that scene happened, I still felt that the world I lived in had been changed beyond recognition by those gods!"

It's one thing to be able to face the trolley problem, but it's another thing to make a choice in the trolley problem.

Just like falling in a dream, in fact, as long as you open your eyes, the fall will stop abruptly.

But when I look back on everything, I still feel scared.

Zhou Baiyu was a little scared.

There is no doubt that he killed Ryan, the level boss in the second round of defensive mode.

He won, but the gods' actions to disrupt Linxiang City and plant the seeds of human nature's evil nature in people's hearts had already been accomplished.

Pollution and corruption, in the final analysis, are all caused by powerful obsessions hidden in the heart.

In a peaceful world, it may be difficult for these obsessions to break out, but in a violent and twisted world, these obsessions can easily become bait to attract worms.

Humanity can never return to the state before the emergence of the "Sincerity Virus".

Those days of "carnival" have already sown all the evil consequences.

"It's time to open your eyes and stop falling, isn't it?" Sister Lin raised her wine glass.

Zhou Baiyu quickly adjusted his mentality:

"Yes. I have determined the target's appearance and name. I will kill him completely before he becomes a threat."

Only after it was truly confirmed that Lane was the source of the pollution, could Zhou Baiyu safely go back to the past and ensure that he had not killed the wrong person.

Now, everything is ready.

Sister Lin said:

"I have to remind you something. If...you go back to the story point in the first round of the 1.0 version of the defense mode."

"You'd better not let your presence be known."

"In the past, when you went to the advance world, there was no such person as you in the advance world. After all, you already know that the advance world and your world are two different worlds."

"There is no real you in that world."

"But there is another world in which you live. In this world, you exist."

"Before you purify the source of pollution... please do not meet yourself. Going to the advance world will use the advance body, which is your identity as Jiang Xianwu."

"But when you go to version 1.0, you will still use your own body. Only the retrograde ones are qualified to come to your world as a pioneer."

"Please try your best not to change history, otherwise it may trigger an unimaginable butterfly effect, causing you to make up for one mistake but make more mistakes. Remember, never be arrogant and think that you can

Take control, you only have one chance."

"But after purifying the source of pollution, it is possible. You even have to meet once."

"Remember? This is advice."

Sister Lin was very serious and spoke every word slowly and clearly, just to make Zhou Baiyu understand.

Zhou Baiyu nodded.

There are many temptations to go back to the past. For example... he can directly prevent Zhang Haoyun from becoming a demon king.

He can meet his colleague Li Ping and even save her.

He can also leave messages to his past self, and then make his past self act like a cheater.

Just like in the novel, I got the protagonist of Future Diary and cheated me all the way.

But it's a pity.

When you really go back to the past, I'm afraid what you have to do is, in addition to changing the things you want to change, try your best to live as if you "didn't exist".

"You have to know the interval between the first round of defense mode and the second round. Little brother, if you go back to the earliest point in time, you may have to wait for a long time. After all, you have been in the Land of Light for more than half a year.

"

Of course Zhou Baiyu also thought about this possibility.

Just hearing Sister Lin say this made him suddenly a little nervous.

If you really return to the node of the first defensive mode, will you really endure it and wait until the second round of defensive mode is activated?

"In addition, you will need to make a choice in the end. You don't need to make such a choice when going to the advance world, but you will need to make such a choice when going to the real world."

Zhou Baiyu was a little curious:

"What choice?"

"You will know when you get there, I can't tell you here. Now, answer my question, Forerunner Zhou Baiyu, are you sure you want to use your Forerunner privileges to go to the world of version 1.0?"

Sister Lin stared straight at Zhou Baiyu. In fact, in Sister Lin's opinion, Zhou Baiyu's choice... was irrational.

He has saved Linxiang City and solved the second round of defensive mode.

There is no need to waste your privileges anymore.

After all, she is someone who has experienced the destruction of the world.

Zhou Baiyu couldn't let go of the tens of thousands of dead people in Linxiang City, but in Sister Lin's view, what Zhou Baiyu experienced was nothing compared to the real apocalypse.

Zhou Baiyu could also feel Sister Lin's thoughts, but he still made his own choice.

Because he discovered one thing——

The defensive mode has not been concluded yet.

But the source of the pollution was indeed dead, and the pollution was purified. He always felt that this was a hint.

Maybe all the actions and choices you make will eventually be counted as an evaluation of the defensive mode.

So Zhou Baiyu was also thinking...perhaps this was also a big gamble. What he lost, he might get back twice as much.

Of course, he wasn't sure.

"Yes, I definitely want to use this privilege."

"As you wish, my disciple."

Sister Lin shook her head.

After all, this child is still not ruthless enough, but maybe... this is not bad?

A countdown suddenly appeared in Zhou Baiyu's eyes, and the countdown was only three minutes.

At the same time, a version update announcement appeared, just like the usual recruitment.

However, the contents of the announcement are all contents of the first round of defensive mode.

"It seems that my luck...is not very good."

"Yes."

Sister Lin is in a bad mood.

Zhou Baiyu was going to solve the goal of the second round of defensive mode, but he returned to the time point of the first round of defensive mode.

This means that Zhou Baiyu has to wait a long time.

The longer the time goes by, the more things Zhou Baiyu may affect.

Sister Lin said:

"Remember, only after completing the mission can you go find the other you in that world, and you must find the other you in that world. That is the way to get back here."

"In addition, the time you meet the other you cannot be later than the time you travel from now to the past. Do you understand what I mean?"

This sentence was a little difficult to pronounce, but Zhou Baiyu understood it.

I am going to the past at this very moment, and I must also meet myself in Linxiang City before this time...

After understanding all this, Zhou Baiyu realized that the rules seemed a bit complicated, and there was obviously something that Sister Lin didn't tell him.

But considering that Sister Lin would not harm herself, Zhou Baiyu was not worried.

The countdown will be cleared soon.

Zhou Baiyu's figure disappeared instantly.

After Zhou Baiyu left, Sister Lin said:

"The price for going back to the past is yourself, my disciple. I wish you all the best."

…

…

The third day of the second round of defense mode.

On this day Zhou Baiyu suddenly received a call.

When he saw the cheating couple playing the classic scene that the husband is currently committing...

Zhou Baiyu's mobile phone was crowded with all kinds of information, and all kinds of shocking news came out one after another.

At this time, Zhou Baiyu realized one thing——

"Oops, could it be that this crisis...is related to 'sincerity'?"

Zhou Baiyu was ready to go back.

But at this time, the phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Use your characteristics, let the Sixth Sense player guess?"

The voice on the other end of the phone felt very familiar to Zhou Baiyu, and the other party seemed to have deliberately changed his tone.

But even so, he still felt it sounded familiar.

The most outrageous thing is that there are only a few people who know their own characteristics. Who is this person?

"Who are you anyway?"

"Okay, it doesn't matter who I am, but what I'm going to say next is important. I can predict the future."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will hang up."

"I know you, you won't hang up the phone, you will pay more attention to all kinds of strange things, now you call Wu Xin and ask Wu Xin if he drinks too much water and does he burp. etc.

After you verify this matter, I will tell you the rest of the matter, um, bye, see you later."

The other person hung up the phone.

Zhou Baiyu didn't delay. He didn't doubt the call at all, because at this moment, he felt it was very interesting.

He quickly dialed Wu Xin's phone number.

"Wuxin? Haha, I'm Jiang Xianwu. How are you? How about Linxiang City? Okay, I'll take you around slowly later. By the way, let me ask you something. If you drink too much water, will you get a phlegm?

Wine burp?"

Wu Xin's answer stunned Zhou Baiyu.

"Okay, it's okay. Come meet us as soon as possible. Xingmeng Wichang will pick you up."

Zhou Baiyu hung up the phone and called back immediately:

"What's going on? Who are you? Why does Wu Xin think that drinking too much water will cause hiccups?"

The other person replied:

"It's very simple, because this is something Wu Xin mentioned to me. You have already realized that this defensive incident is related to sincerity."

"The target pollution sources will distort people's ability to identify lies, and the concept of lies will be erased."

"The goal this time is that the level boss in the second round of defense mode must not be regarded as an ordinary polluted species. I have discovered that as long as it is marked as a level boss, their corruption growth value, or pollution

The diffusion speed is much faster than the normal pollution species and corrupt species. This is why Zhang Haoyun was able to suddenly mutate to the devil level."

Zhou Baiyu was shocked.

This person even knew that Zhang Haoyun was a demon king-level existence. This was a core secret that only members of his team knew.

He suddenly guessed it.

"Are you...from the future..."

"Shh. We will meet each other eventually. I don't know how to convince you that my existence is not a conspiracy but a help, so... Zhou Baiyu, trust your intuition."

The reply from the other party convinced Zhou Baiyu of his inner thoughts.

"I have already investigated the target's location. I don't dare to act too quickly because I'm worried that killing him too early will lead to a temporary change in the boss of the second round of defense mode."

"So I have no choice but to wait until he has some impact."

"Now, go to that place and kill the target."

Zhou Baiyu asked a question:

"Why don't you just kill him?"

"Because I need you to witness with your own eyes. I have already killed him once, but it was too late and the loss was too heavy. I will wait for you there, Zhou Baiyu, we must meet. When you kill him, I

Will see you again."

After saying this, the other party hung up the phone.

Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought of a possibility.

"It seems... the pollution source this time has really had a terrible impact, right? Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have used that thing."

No one in this world knows you best? Of course it is yourself.

The moment the other person hung up the phone, Zhou Baiyu guessed what the other person had experienced.

This is really a... very magical feeling.

As soon as I realized the seriousness of the matter, someone immediately told me the answer, just go and harvest.

This feels great.

But he also understood that the other self must have carried a heavy burden forward to allow the current self to complete the task so easily.

…

…

Times Square.

Ryan could never have imagined that when he was using lies to prepare everything, when he was already imagining that half a month later, he would start giving a speech in Times Square like a god...

Someone will suddenly come to kill you.

How is this possible?

He didn't even have time to prepare the "moat".

Of course he knows that there are people in this world who have extraordinary power, and he also knows that there are forerunners and pure practitioners in this world.

So he is afraid of death, and what those heroes like most is to protect the weak.

Therefore, Ryan is even ready to let tens of thousands of weak people become his moat.

But he ran out of time.

The moment the red crystal armor penetrated Ryan... Ryan was very unwilling.

"That sincere...beautiful...country..."

He didn't finish his last words, and with great reluctance, Ryan died.

Zhou Baiyu in front of him actually didn't feel much.

He just felt that Ryan seemed to die easily.

But at this moment, another Zhou Baiyu, who had been lurking for more than half a year, truly realized the horror of "time retrograde".

The boss who almost caused the whole world to fall into evil...

In his own hands, which had mastered retrograde time, he died quietly.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This is the power of time.

At this moment, he also ushered in the moment of decision.

Zhou Baiyu, who has never experienced time travel, said:

"I can feel your breath...come out."

Footsteps sounded soon.

Even though he had already guessed in his heart, Zhou Baiyu was still shocked when he saw his other self.

Two "Zhou Baiyu" appeared.

The other Zhou Baiyu obviously had some vicissitudes of life. He had experienced the death of tens of thousands of people and had been dormant for more than half a year. He actually had a messy beard.

Realizing that his beard could obscure his appearance, he never trimmed his beard.

He just smiled.

It was a smile of relief.

"So this is what Sister Lin means by choice. Hello, my other self in the world."

Old Zhou Baiyu looked at new Zhou Baiyu and said.

Xinzhou Baiyu was surprised for a long time before he slowly said:

"How much time do we have?"

"Hahaha, talking to yourself is so worry-free."

Obviously, Sister Lin said that only when the task is completed can the two of them meet, which means that only by meeting can the timeline be covered and oneself... return to the right track.

So Xinzhou Baiyu also wanted to understand this, so he asked this question.

Old Zhou Baiyu shook his head and said:

"I don't know either. Just treat this as our last conversation. In fact, it is indeed the case, isn't it?"

Xinzhou Baiyu suddenly said:

"Of the two of us, can we really only keep one?"

"Yes, there can only be one Zhou Baiyu in this world. This is also the choice Sister Lin said."

Old Zhou Baiyu sighed and said:

"It's a pity that when we merge, even if you are still you and I have disappeared, your privileges will also disappear."

"Sorry, my abilities are limited. There is no way to deal with Ryan before he grows up. I used up one of your major trump cards to change the world of advancers."

Xinzhou Baiyu didn't speak.

He looked at this vicissitudes of life and wondered how long this version of himself had been lurking.

What on earth has he experienced?

Xinzhou Baiyu didn't blame anything, because this was all his "own" choice.

He only hoped that the conversation between the two could last longer.

"Thank you, my other self. Thank you for your decisiveness, which prevented me from seeing that cruel scene. Thank you."

"Now...let us finish explaining each other's last words and then make a choice."

(I will accompany my girl tomorrow, yes, I caught up! So suddenly I had to update it in advance, so the chapter at 12 o'clock in the evening was gone, so it was published in advance. I planned this chapter to lead to a new copy, but suddenly I found a

A very suitable break point, hahaha)
