Chapter 90: Retracement point update

Views:

At night, the luxury cruise ship docked at a pier.

Wang Chong, a well-known second-generation rich man in China, sent invitations to celebrities from all walks of life, inviting them to attend a week-long luxurious dinner and parade at sea.

The luxury cruise ship plans to stay at the dock for three days and will leave immediately after the three days.

No one knew what this rich second-generation was up to, but receiving such an invitation was itself a symbol of status, not to mention that one could meet many bigwigs at the dinner party whom one would never see at other times, so once Wang Chong's invitation was sent out, it caused a stir in society.

That night, the other second-generation rich people in Wang Chong’s social circle were all excited.

One after another, they bombarded Wang Chong with private messages: "Brother Wang, this is so unfair. Why didn't you inform me?"

"Brother Wang, what are you doing?"

"Don't bother with other useless things, just send me an invitation letter!"

Some were even so impatient that they came straight up to us.

Wang Chong welcomed all of his friends. What he needed was a grand banquet, the more people the better.

This was a super high-profile cover move that only he could pull off.

At night, after another exhausting battle, Zhu Shijiu lay on the floor of the room, gasping for breath.

In this life-threatening battle, Zhu Shijiu felt that his strength had been greatly improved. In terms of experience and physical fitness, he had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when he first boarded the cruise ship. In an absolutely rational situation, he had no thoughts of pain or giving up, so he was able to squeeze his abilities to the limit.

While lying on the ground, he did not forget to take out his mobile phone to browse the news on the Internet.

He saw a familiar hot topic bombing campaign on the Internet. The news titled "Wang Chong's Invitation Letter" directly topped the hot news list that night.

Zhu Shijiu panted and asked the two black soldiers beside him: "Won't this be too conspicuous?"

The two black soldiers said in unison, "It has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah… "

Judging from the immediate answers given by the two black soldiers, they really had not thought about this question.

"… So how much do you have that I don't know that you can easily tell me?"

There was silence in the room.

"… "

These two people were like cold machines, completely devoid of humanity. They didn't even think about what purpose and meaning were hidden behind the questions raised by Zhu Shijiu. All they cared about was the mission.

Expecting to get any intelligence from them is nothing short of a fantasy.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Shijiu came up with the answer.

Because the route of a lone ship on the vast ocean is too obvious, if a ship is sailing alone or by other means, if it is attacked, it will die quietly and no one will notice.

Xu Feng's choice to have Wang Chong invite people from all walks of life to cover up the action seems bold, but in fact it was well considered. By then, all the social elites will be present. If people from other factions choose to attack the cruise ship, it will definitely cause violent unrest in society and attract attention from all sides.

Zhu Shijiu still remembered the mysterious conservative faction that appeared once in the eleventh round. They wished that no one knew of their existence and hid like rats in the sewer in front of the Black Soldier Organization. For some reason, they did not appear once in the following rounds. Their timid appearance made it hard to doubt whether they had the courage to stand in the spotlight.

After figuring everything out, Zhu Shijiu's body regained some strength.

He tried a somersault, and with the twisting of his waist and the tightening of his back muscles, his whole body leaped up from the ground like a spring.

The two black soldiers watched his show in silence.

Zhu Shijiu recalled his actions just now. He did what he wanted to do immediately, which meant that his control over his body had reached a higher level. At least he could not do it so easily when he first boarded the cruise ship.

"It's almost time."

Zhu Shijiu murmured.

The two black soldiers remained silent. They didn't understand, but they were not prepared to understand.

He glanced at the two black soldiers, then said, "I'm going to take a shower first. Are you two going to follow me even to take a shower?"

"… "

The black soldiers looked at each other, and then one of them said to Zhu Shijiu: "Ten minutes."

In fact, Zhu Shijiu doesn’t even have a sense of shame now. If the two black soldiers insisted on following him in, he wouldn’t care at all.

He just wanted to know the answer to a question, but if the two black soldiers were present, he would definitely be stopped no matter what he wanted to do.

Zhu Shijiu entered the bathroom and took a look at the environment inside.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large bathtub that can accommodate three or four people lying down. Next to the bathtub is a glass window through which you can see the vast night sky and the ocean. On the left hand side is a very wide washbasin with unopened shower gel and shampoo on it. Clean and tidy bath towels and face towels are stacked on the wall of the bathroom.

There was a storage cabinet under the washbasin. Zhu Shijiu rummaged around inside and found a brand new hair dryer.

In the dead silence of the bathroom, Zhu Shijiu's eyes were dark and unclear.

He slowly unrolled the cord of the hair dryer, then found the socket near the bathtub, plugged the plug into the socket, and then gestured the distance from the hair dryer to the bathtub.

“… not long enough.”

Zhu Shijiu was embarrassed.

Then he shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, let’s just use the simplest and most brutal method.

He pulled a toothbrush out of the cup, walked straight to the bathtub and turned on the water heater, and then in just five minutes, the bathtub was filled with hot water, muttering to himself.

"Goodbye, world."

He pointed the tail of the toothbrush at his neck, and using the powerful force from the injection of the medicine to drive his arm, he thrust the toothbrush accurately into the artery in his neck!

He plunged headfirst into the bathtub, his body and the blood gushing from his neck splashing on the water, exploding into scarlet blood flowers. It looked spectacular and beautiful.

This symbolizes the final decline of life.

After a while, the water in the bathtub turned red.

Act 14. Death.

It was just past five minutes past midnight.

In the empty room, there was a thin report in front of Zhu Shijiu. It had no wrinkles and no signs of being flipped.

But Zhu Shijiu already knew the content.

Because he replayed.

The time of the retracement was not 10 o'clock in the morning on November 6 as expected, but 10 o'clock in the morning on November 7.

This should have been news that shocked Zhu Shijiu greatly, because any mistake in this matter would mean that all his future plans would change, but he felt no emotion at all now.

"My previous plans were all based on being able to go back to 10 a.m. on November 6th, but now I'm back to 10 a.m. on the 7th, which is when the end of the world was successfully postponed. Xu Feng is going to show me the information about the training base... In summary, the conclusion is that as long as it's past midnight, the save point will move forward 24 hours."

If you die on November 7th, you will go back to 10 o'clock in the morning on November 6th. If you die on November 8th, you will go back to 10 o'clock in the morning on November 7th.

This is equivalent to a save point that is constantly updated as the game plot progresses. As long as you can survive November 7th safely, you can save the save point at 10 am on November 7th.

"So what if I want to go back to a save point further ahead? After the save point is updated, can I still go back to the previous save point by continuing to die?"

Zhu Shijiu had no fear of death. He wanted to figure out this problem right now, not to satisfy his curiosity, but to obtain more sufficient intelligence and improve the utilization rate of death rollback.

While Zhu Shijiu was still thinking this, Xu Feng walked into the room.

"How do you think it is?" Xu Feng glanced at the paper report on Zhu Shijiu's desk.

“No.”

Zhu Shijiu answered.

Xu Feng frowned, his tone a little harsh: "We don't have much time, not even a minute or a second can be wasted. After watching this, you must leave for the training base immediately..."

“But I foresaw it.”

Zhu Shijiu stopped Xu Feng from speaking with just one sentence.

While Xu Feng was stunned, Zhu Shijiu said, “You are going to use Wang Chong’s private luxury cruise ship as a cover to take me to the island, right?”

Although it was a question, he did not show any doubt, but instead was extremely confident.

Xu Feng came back to his senses: "Is it because I sent you the information that you predicted the future under this choice? What if I make other choices? Can I predict the future after every choice without doing anything?"

"Your brain is still as fast as ever, but unfortunately, it's not working." Zhu Shijiu shook his head, "I said before, my ability to predict the future is limited. I can only predict a limited future, and I can't be sure how often I can predict the future. So if you use my ability as a tool that you can control at will, you will fail in most cases."

"… But I have no way of judging whether what you said is true or false. I believe that you can predict the future, but if you can predict the future, it means that you can use my trust in you to deceive me. So I have no idea whether your ability is passive or active. I really have to consider imprisoning you now."

A dangerous light flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.

The implication of his words seemed to be that he wanted to put Zhu Shijiu in a small dark room where there would never be light of day.

Zhu Shijiu's ability was simply unreasonable. The originally very rigorous plan became a sieve in his eyes.

Xu Feng found it hard to imagine what the consequences would be if Zhu Shijiu became a member of another faction.

Wouldn't the plan of their organization be clearly visible to Zhu Shijiu

"You don't have to bluff me." Zhu Shijiu said, "You know that locking me up is not good for humanity as a whole."
