"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.
Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...
Aren't those tigers, lions, bears, and wolves?
Do you all refer to your pets like that?
"Volga is closest to the Flame Dragon, so we won't get involved. I'm having some trouble here," Agareth said. "Many people won't listen to advice, but those who do are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles, terrified of death. There might be a lot of trouble later."
"If it gets out of control, report it immediately." Shi Yin nodded: "If reasoning doesn't work, we all know a little bit about martial arts."
Everyone: "..."
"A little knowledgeable, huh?"
The people of Yanlong Kingdom remained as humble as ever.
Tyr touched his cold back. He had believed Shi Yin's words "know a little" back then, and had been beaten to a pulp.
[Speaking of unusual events, I did get into a fight in some places I don't remember, and I was bitten by bugs.] Seeing that everyone had prepared their materials so diligently, Tyr felt a little embarrassed.
He hadn't prepared anything and could only speak from memory.
[I remember those insects, weren't they supposed to appear in two months? And they were just the most basic, boring little bugs. We've only been reborn for less than a month.]
“The Flame Dragon has sent an exchange student, who is different from what I remember, and they even found the Ghost Spider in the computer mainframe.” Shi Yin looked at Agarai: “It’s a Milica exchange student.”
"What? My family's? Show me the list of exchange students this time, I'll go and arrest their family." Agareth frowned. "But this progress is unlikely; I remember there were a few exchange students from Wilren."
Exchange students are always selected randomly, and there are many random factors involved. It's hard to say whether they were brought from Milica.
“The probability is quite high. Your exchange student said it was his pet.” Shi Yin shrugged: “The person we sent for the exchange this time was rather special, so he noticed it.”
At least the slight malfunction of that computer host was unknown to Shi Yin and many others, making it difficult for them to think of that possibility.
Moreover, Shi Yin felt that there was another factor in this discovery: Nan Zhu had only been a diplomat for a few months. Although he had completed his mission perfectly, he was still not qualified enough and was young and inconspicuous compared to other famous diplomats.
This factor likely led those people to underestimate their enemy.
At this point, the commander-in-chief seemed to have become an assistant, directly sending over the prepared information. Agareth communicated with his superiors and quickly returned.
[There's something wrong. I'm guessing it's him.] Agareth frowned. [If your resolution is correct, the exchange student's eye color is off, and look at that scar.]
The group glanced at each other and noticed a subtle difference in the pupils of the two people. Both were green, but one leaned towards bluish-green and the other towards green. At first glance, it seemed to be just a difference in exposure.
However, they were using professional equipment, so such errors and differences were almost non-existent.
Moreover, he had a tiny scar at the corner of his eye, which was very inconspicuous, but professionals could see the subtle difference.
"Then I'll begin the interrogation. Don't come back demanding your return." Shi Yin tapped the table lightly with her fingertip. "I'm afraid I won't be able to return you in one piece."
"Go ahead." Agareth remained noncommittal.
"Could it be that someone else has been reborn multiple times like us?" Ishtar asked worriedly. "There seem to be quite a few unexpected situations this time. If there really is a mastermind behind this, they should already know that we have superpowers."
Humans gained superpowers after a meteorite struck.
Only those with superpowers can avoid being infected by the zombie virus.
Clearly, the mastermind behind it all is now certain. Tyr is a person with superpowers, and it's easy for them to guess that they might be reborn or have other factors at play.
"That's unlikely. Theoretically, everyone's rebirth is a first time; multiple rebirths are merely an explanation and generalization of our phenomenon," Helmod denied. "But we only possess the memories of multiple rebirths. In reality, we are still in our first rebirth; only Toki is constantly regressing."
Everyone remained silent, which was indeed the case.
However, the various anomalies that have occurred this time indicate that there are definitely people other than them who have experienced a rebirth, but it is impossible for them to have it hundreds or thousands of times like they have. However, it is definitely not just once.
[Hey Shiyin, how reliable are your memories? Could it be that you've lost control of them? Or maybe someone else has the same ability as you?]
“Impossible.” Shi Yin said decisively: “Let’s not even talk about how the five of us are aware of the uniqueness of our abilities. Even if there were someone with the same abilities as us, people with the same abilities can sense each other.”
Could someone with the ability to block out supernatural powers be interfering with your senses?
"Everyone can be blocked, but I can't." Shi Yin denied: "There are some things I have some guesses in my mind, and I can be 80% sure about them. I'm confident about these things."
"The serious thing is that if something goes wrong, my country might fall quite quickly. You'd better be prepared." Agareth sighed. "Getting them to listen to advice, stay home obediently, and follow orders without question is quite difficult."
“Then let’s give up.” Shi Yin said decisively.
There's not much to say about this. If we had spent the time patiently persuading those who wouldn't listen, we could have saved countless ordinary people who would have listened to our advice.
Moreover, those who don't listen to advice will be the most difficult to manage even if a shelter is established later. They will always have their own ideas and disobey orders.
Rather than causing trouble later, it's better to get rid of the person now.
"What did you say to them?" Shi Yin asked.
[Infectious diseases, viruses, etc.] Agareth had a headache. [They said if you get infected, you can get infected, and it will even boost your immunity.]
Shi Yin: "...Let them die."
"Besides announcing the virus, we also had the observatory announce that meteorites might fall in certain areas, urging everyone to take refuge, but..." Helmod said, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, "...even more people came, and they seem to want to take pictures..."
Shi Yin: "..."
Let's die together.
"Never mind them, I've encountered some unexpected situations on my end." Shi Yin clicked her tongue lightly: "On my way here, I was attacked by a crow."
【Crows? Aren't they usually in flocks?】
“It should be kept in captivity.” Shi Yin shook her head: “If that person really has multiple memories like us, they would be trying every means, whether it’s poisoning or scheming, to get rid of me first, but this is clearly just a test.”
“Instead of that, I suspect he might have obtained something else.” Shi Yin thought for a moment: “Since he can have magical spatial items, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to possess something like a magical notebook.”
"Anyway, as long as I don't have this kind of cheat like you, it's fine." Tyr said indifferently.
Shi Yin: "...This isn't a cheat, it's my ability."
If we insist on calling this a cheat, wouldn't each of the five of them have one?
The problem is that the enemy is in the shadows while everyone else is in the open, making it a very difficult situation no matter what.
