Chapter 3: Past Lives, Present Lives, and Causality (1)
Ling Xin felt increasingly perplexed about the origin of this torn piece of newspaper and its various contents. At that moment, he suddenly had the urge to find Chen Haotao and Wei Shishi and inform them about this torn newspaper. Just then, the original text on the newspaper began to fade away gradually. Following that, the current location of Chen Haotao and Wei Shishi, as well as what they were doing, was displayed. Moreover, the number of causality points, which was originally over 12,700, changed to over 12,500, with the integer count decreasing by two hundred.
... ... Is that so? I have lost ... ... What is love ... ...?
Is that so? I have lost... What is love...?
Ling Xin heard this passage in his dream, intermittently, and many parts were not completely clear. However, when the words reached this point, they vanished entirely. Then the scene shifted, and Ling Xin suddenly saw himself with a blank expression, emanating a chilling aura that repelled others. In each of his hands, he held a uniquely designed handgun. Before him lay his two companions, Chen Haotao and Wei Shishi, sprawled on the ground, each with a bloody hole in their foreheads, their faces filled with astonishment and fear. Behind them was an endless sea of blood, a hell where countless people and skeletons were submerged, the sky and earth transformed into a crimson hue. In this entire world, he stood alone, cold and still, as if he were a god, or perhaps a demon.
Ling Xin twisted his sore shoulders, and his mind involuntarily recalled the events of yesterday. In a moment of impulse, he had saved that little girl. He had initially planned to leave right after, but unexpectedly, he was obstructed by the surrounding crowd. It wasn't until the television crew arrived that he was subjected to interviews, and the police said they wanted to award him for his bravery. All of this left him quite exhausted yesterday. Not only did he find himself on television, but it seemed to have stirred things up at school as well, culminating in a request for him to give a report in front of all the teachers and students. In short, when he returned home last night, he didn't even have time to change his clothes before collapsing onto the bed and falling into a deep sleep.
Do not ! ''
Is this the causal point...?
Ling Xin suddenly sat up in bed, his mind filled with confusion. For a moment, he could not understand why he had awakened so abruptly and why he had shouted in panic. He only felt that he seemed to have seen something in the previous dream, and it appeared to be related to the *illustration* of the Buddha and his past life.
Zhang Xiaoxue, use the Fengshen Bang to divide my soul into two parts. One part will be entrusted to your new body, while the other will seek one of the individuals involved in the Longhou Project for entrustment. It is essential to merge the consciousness of the other soul with my awareness and the original host's consciousness. Then, when that soul reaches the age of ten, use the Fengshen Bang to reverse the causality and bring him... After that, begin this plan. At that time, the other half of the Fengshen Bang will be disseminated until then. After that, begin this plan. At that time, the other half of the Fengshen Bang will be disseminated until then. He will possess emotions and beliefs, and I will absorb him... If there is danger, you can awaken me. Although there is nothing or no one worth looking forward to, he will certainly not allow my plan to proceed perfectly, so at that time... If there is danger, you can awaken me. Although there is nothing or no one worth looking forward to, he will certainly not allow my plan to proceed perfectly, so at that time...
Causal points? There are more than 12,700 causal points in total, what does this mean?
Yet, this very man failed, defeated by another self that was identical to him, except that this other self possessed emotions
Lingxin's first reaction was to rush towards the door. He then pulled the doorknob, but the door was clearly shut tight. Moreover, when he returned home yesterday, he had forcefully closed the door as well. To add to this, a sense of caution and insecurity that he had since birth made him develop a habit over the years: every time he opened or closed the door, he would insert a small piece of paper into the gap of the door, no larger than half a fingernail. Who would pay attention to such a thing? Furthermore, he would lightly scratch the spot where he inserted the paper with his fingernail, leaving a faint white mark, thinner than a hair. Even if someone were to insert a piece of paper into the gap, they would absolutely not notice this white mark.
Ling Xin once again took out the newspaper and examined it closely. In addition to the changes in content, the date displayed on the newspaper had also changed to today. Moreover, there was a numerical figure following the date, which had definitely not been there yesterday, yet it appeared abruptly today. Additionally, there were three words preceding the number: "Causal Point"
When Lingxin opened the door, the piece of paper indeed fell from the white mark. It can be reasonably concluded that after he fell asleep yesterday, no one entered this room... unless that person was incredibly bold and meticulous, able to see even the slightest piece of paper and white mark clearly in the dark. But can such a person still be called human
"Previous life? What a nonsensical dream it was, and upon waking, I forgot it immediately. It is better not to have such dreams at all"
Upon thinking of the books, Ling Xindong immediately became excited. In fact, since childhood, his greatest aspiration was not to become a lawyer; that was merely a form of consolation he sought after his ideals could not be realized. His true aspiration was to be a chivalrous hero who could sever heads from a thousand miles away, not the kind of great hero who fights for the country and the people, but rather a narrow-minded, bloodthirsty warrior who cannot tolerate injustice. This was his mindset. If the mastermind behind the car crash incident were to provoke him first by sending information through the newspaper, then he would certainly use that information to uncover the mastermind behind it.
This is a wondrous, extraordinary, and infinitely vast world. In this incredibly marvelous world, there are various horror films and opportunities, where you can strengthen yourself to become a superhuman, but you may also inadvertently be torn apart by a zombie. Numerous crises and challenges abound, and this world is known as the Cycle World
In fact, regarding the multi-vehicle collision incident yesterday, he still harbored more doubts that he wished to have answered. First of all, why did the newspaper provide an advance notice of the collision incident? Was it that the mastermind behind the collision had given him the information ahead of time, as a provocation? Or was it that the mortal needed to seek stimulation?
A man struggles helplessly, yet ultimately cannot escape the fate of being reduced to ashes. For reasons unknown, his consciousness remains preserved.
Ling Xin is a remarkably powerful individual in that world, known as Chu Xuan. He observes the experiences of this person named Chu Xuan with utmost clarity. Each mysterious strategy, each breathtaking battle seems to be imprinted in his soul, deeply remembered. Is this man truly human? Such wisdom defies description, far surpassing the limits of ordinary mortals, evoking only fear, instilling terror in those around him. It feels as if this fear is also etched in his soul, deeply remembered. Is this man truly human? Such wisdom defies description, far surpassing the limits of ordinary mortals, evoking only fear, instilling terror in those around him.
Ling Xin thought of this and immediately took out the newspaper from his wallet. However, when he saw the newspaper, he felt a chill run through him, for the newspaper no longer reported the car accident. Instead, it displayed a chaotic array of trivial information, all concerning people or events in his vicinity. For instance, there was a report about an elderly woman receiving counterfeit money while buying groceries, or a student who was likely to fall on their way to school. This newspaper was no longer the same as the one from yesterday.
In other words, it is impossible for someone to have swapped this torn newspaper while I was asleep, so why has its content changed? If it changed without external influence... could it be a problem with the newspaper itself?
