[Endless Killing: My Fireball Has a Bug! – Chapter 518 The Secret of Preserving Memory!]

At this time, Qu Cheng was in a kneeling position again.

His entire face was so drooped that it was impossible to see his expression.

He couldn’t see it himself, but he suddenly stared at a sharp piece of gravel on the ground with a fierce look.

Ji Li didn’t hesitate at all. In just a moment, he picked up the piece of gravel very quickly.

Then he suddenly exerted force, grabbed the sharp gravel and smashed it on his temple!

That force was really fierce! Ji Xin was really trying to kill him!

Unfortunately, his attributes are low.

Ying Wenxiu was close to him, his eyes narrowed, and he kicked Qu Cheng hard on the hand.

Qu Cheng held the gravel tightly, and the gravel was not kicked away.

But the hand he swung towards his temple had already deviated from its original trajectory.

Fu Ze was also quick-witted and quickly pinned Qu Cheng to the ground.

He put his knees on Qu Cheng, twisted Qu Cheng’s hands behind his back with one hand, and pressed Qu Cheng’s head with the other hand, pressing his entire head to the ground.

䛈䀴……

I thought this was the way to control Qu Cheng.

But suddenly he discovered that Qu Cheng, whose head was being held, had an expression that looked a little strange.

Fu Ze frowned deeply.

Relax the strength in your hands.

Qu Cheng’s hands, which were twisted behind his back, drooped down, and his head felt weak.

Fu Ze pried open his mouth and said helplessly, “He bit his tongue and committed suicide.”

Ying Wenxiu was somewhat surprised by this result, but he didn’t take it too seriously.

He held his chin and thought for a moment, then frowned and said:

“This guy would rather die than reveal the secret, but has he forgotten that we can retain our looping memory?”

“When the next cycle begins, we can quickly control him and torture him to extract a confession.”

Fu Ze thought: “Could he be thinking that when the next cycle starts, he will immediately kill Guan Yu and replace him as the chief commander. After becoming the chief commander, he will have absolute power and can kill all of us with his mind?”

Ying Wenxiu sneered: “Are you kidding? What is his strength? What is my strength?”

“I didn’t even get the commander-in-chief’s head, why does he think he can?”

As he spoke, Ying Wenxiu glanced at Lin Chuan.

The meaning is quite obvious——

It is unlikely that Qu Cheng could snatch Guan Yu’s head from Lin Chuan.

However, Lin Chuan looked at Ying Wenxiu and said with a half-smile: “Vice-Chairman Ying, do you really think that you can’t snatch the position of Chief Commander from me?”

Ying Wenxiu’s eyes darkened.

Indeed…

He had thought of it when Lin Chuan robbed him of the position of chief commander at noon.

In the next cycle, he immediately killed Lin Chuan with his mind.

Afterwards, he killed Guanyu in seconds and replaced him as the commander-in-chief!

After all, he was the chief commander! His rank was higher than Lin Chuan’s instructor!

He didn’t expect that Lin Chuan could think of this.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little dull and depressing.

But Ying Wenxiu was not afraid.

After all, even if Lin Chuan killed him now…

As long as he doesn’t break the loop this time.

As long as the cycle continues, he will be able to survive at the starting point of the next cycle.

At that time, you can still do as you wish and kill Lin Chuan first, then kill Guan Yu!

Lin Chuan guessed what Ying Wenxiu was thinking, but he had no intention of killing him for the time being. He just said calmly, “Whether we take the head or not is a matter for the next cycle. Why don’t we try to guess what secrets Qu Cheng has?”

Fu Ze thought for a moment and analyzed seriously: “Everyone else is still exploring in the sea, but this Qu Cheng has reached the island earlier than us… He should have mastered some secrets related to the evolution game.”

Tons of secrets related to the evolution game!

This is quite important for the four people who are currently trapped in the evolution game loop.

Ying Wenxiu also continued to analyze: “This Qu Cheng, either discovered some secrets through his own observations. Or from the beginning, this evolution game has planted an undercover agent among us!”

“His additional information may have been given to him by his undercover identity.”

Fu Ze nodded: “I prefer undercover. After all, based on his actions on the island, the secrets he holds are likely on the island.”

“But this time, we were suppressed by the fierce and powerful Lin Chuan from the very beginning. All of us stayed on the island for less than half an hour.”

“Besides, Qu Cheng was with us during that half hour, so he had no chance to discover the secret on the island.”

“So I guess he must have obtained an undercover identity, and gained some additional information from the evolution game.”

Ying Wenxiu nodded: “Yes, I think so too.”

Xu Wenjian suddenly asked, “What if he discovered the secret on the island in the last cycle, or even the cycle before that?”

This is the third cycle in all of their memories.

During the first and second cycles, Qu Cheng stayed on the island.

He has little presence, but he is a deputy commander with considerable power.

If he stayed on the island, he would have a chance of discovering some secrets.

However, Fu Ze immediately denied Xu Wenjian’s statement: “Have you forgotten that those who did not go out to sea did not retain the cyclic memory. Even if Qu Cheng discovered the secret ton on the island in the last cycle, he would automatically forget it in this cycle.”

Xu Wenjian shook his head: “Are you sure that Qu Cheng has retained the memory of the previous cycle?”

When these words were spoken, Fu Ze and Ying Wenxiu frowned.

As far as they knew, Qu Cheng had not gone out to sea in the last two cycles, so it was impossible for him to retain any memories.

But what Xu Wenjian meant was…

It is possible that Qu Cheng has retained his looping memory.

“Could it be,” Fu Ze speculated according to Xu Wenjian’s meaning, “that in the last cycle, he actually went out to sea secretly?”

Xu Wenjian shook his head slightly: “You misunderstood what I meant.”

“According to our memory, we who went out to sea retained our circular memory, while others who did not go out to sea did not retain their memory.”

“So we speculate that going out to sea can preserve recurrent memory.”

“But this is just speculation through phenomena. We haven’t seen through the essence of things.”

Xu Wenjian didn’t explain it very clearly.

But Ying Wenxiu and Fu Ze were both smart people and quickly understood what he meant:

“You mean, it wasn’t the sea voyage that directly caused us to retain our memories, but the sea voyage itself triggered a series of events…”

As they talked, their voices became weaker, and it was obvious that they were lost in thought.

Ying Wenxiu, who had been in the position for a long time, said in a deep voice, “According to our previous speculation, midnight is not a loop node.”

“After midnight, we just erased a memory, switched to another mode, and started another journey.”

“If we consider 12 o’clock to 0 o’clock as time zone A, then 0 o’clock to 12 o’clock is time zone B.”

“That is, we in time zone A went out to sea, which caused us in time zone B to do something, which ultimately caused us in time zone A to retain the loop memory.”

When Ying Wenxiu made this guess, he felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Lu Linchuan speculated more accurately: “I was thinking, maybe it’s like this -“

“The real reason why some people have recurring memories may be that those people died in time zone B.”

“That is to say, in the unknown time zone B that we have no memory of, all the players who stayed on the island during the first cycle died.”

“The players who went out to sea survived.”

“So when the cycle starts again, those who survive will retain the memory of the previous cycle.”

“Those who are new to the game think they have just entered the game and everything has just begun.”

“In other words, the price of resurrection is that these people will have recycled memories.”

“People who have not died and do not need to be ‘resurrected’ retain their cyclical memories.”

This speculation about retaining memory is obviously more convincing than simply going out to sea.

But it’s actually hard to understand. How can going to sea help you preserve your memories?

What’s so special about going out to sea?

If I have to say, is it because the magnetic field in the sea is different?

Therefore, it is clear that Lin Chuan’s speculation is more logical.

It is not the act of going to sea that retains their memories.

However, they who went out to sea survived in time zone B.

The reason why they were able to survive might be related to going to sea.

In other words…

In time zone B, all the people on the island are dead!

Of course, according to what Xu Wenjian just said.

He said that Qu Cheng might also retain the memory of the previous cycle.

That is to say, in the last cycle, Qu Cheng in time zone B did not die!

Since he didn’t die, he also retained the memory of the previous cycle.

He had discovered some secrets on the island in the last cycle.

So in this cycle, he, who retained his secret memory, sneaked to the island.

But he didn’t expect that Lin Chuan and others, who had been exploring in the sea after going out to sea in the previous cycle, chose Mi Island in this cycle.

However——

After Ying Wenxiu figured this out, he still had a question: “But if what you said is true, then when I die I will have a recurring memory and think I am starting the game for the first time.”

“If Qu Cheng committed suicide, wouldn’t he himself not be able to remember the secrets he tried so hard to hide?”

Xu Wenjian raised his eyebrows: “I am just offering a guess. It is hard to say what Qu Cheng’s specific situation is.”

“Maybe he has mastered some secret by himself. And he doesn’t want this secret to be discovered by anyone. He would rather not remember it than let others find out.”

“It could also be what you speculated before, that he is a special undercover agent with special secrets granted by the Evolution Game.”

“We may have to wait until the next cycle to find out what it is. Our top priority now is to explore this island.”

Ying Wenxiu and Fu Ze both seconded the motion.

Lin Chuan exchanged glances with Xu Wenjian.

After a while, Lin Chuan looked at the green turtle island.

He did as Ying Wenxiu said before, silently thinking in his heart:

Destroy all green on the island.

As the chief commander, he has the ability to enforce his words.

In the past, whatever I wanted, I could achieve it just by thinking about it in my mind.

To be honest, that feeling is really good. After Lin Chuan experienced it himself, he was not surprised at all that Guan Yu was swollen.

After all, it’s like a virtual game, everything he has is fake.

This ability to make his words come true was given to him by the game.

It didn’t really belong to him.

䀴This feeling also made Lin Chuan feel more deeply——

Just as Xu Wenjian said before when he talked about divinity.

Everything he has is given by the killing game.

It doesn’t really belong to him.

In order to be truly powerful, he must have something that truly belongs to him.

Just as he was thinking this, the evolution game taught him another lesson.

The silent request in his heart was not realized immediately.

Instead, another reminder sounded in my mind!
