Plot Correction System (15)
"Kill him."
Shang Li said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Siyuan's eyes widened suddenly.
Lin Sirong was completely unaware and thought it was his words that shocked his brother.
"Let go, I will try my best to make your death less painful." He lowered his eyelids, and the hand holding his chin slid to the boy's neck.
“…You are my brother.”
Lin Siyuan speaks slowly.
"But you will only destroy me." Lin Sirong remained unmoved.
"Xiao Lin, he is not your brother. He is another person pretending to be your brother."
Shang Li whispered in Lin Siyuan's ear, "I think you should know what the superpowers of Lin Sirong's five subordinates are."
Where Lin Sirong couldn't see, he stretched out his hand from the ice and snow, and touched the boy's back, which was already covered with a layer of frost.
[Second-level ability of the Information Ghost: Designate a piece of information from itself as a "source file", and be able to know and locate all objects that have "received" the "source file" and "connect to the network". ]
“…”
Lin Siyuan rolled his eyes dully, looking past him at the mirror-smooth ice surface.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but he saw Ye Bai standing in the middle of it, like an illusory reflection.
Ye Bai in the mirror also obviously saw Lin Siyuan and made an "ok" gesture to him.
Then he changed his finger movements and made another "Yeah."
No, this should be the countdown.
"Then, say goodbye to this world."
Lin Sirong gradually increased his strength, the ice spikes slowly pierced into the skin, oozing out bright red spots, "Then there will be a more obedient and excellent 'Lin Siyuan' to replace you."
Once we get this kid's special power, won't it be easy to deal with Shang Li?
“…”
Lin Siyuan finally closed his eyes.
The next moment, warm yellow light burst out from his body, and the entire space suddenly began to rewind like a movie.
"!"
The ice spikes that pierced his flesh were retracted, and the frost slid down from the top, revealing the frosted glass hidden at the bottom. Lin Siyuan's wounds were healed in an instant.
Everything that happened before seemed to have never happened, except that Ye Bai, who looked like a reflection in the glass, was still standing there, telling him that it was not an illusion.
[Superpower: Backtracking]
Ye Bai's newly born supernatural power passed through Shang Li's "network" and, with Cui Lan's blessing, passed through the many spaces that were cut into small pieces, and finally exerted its due power.
Before Lin Sirong could fully react, powerful lightning had already appeared in Lin Siyuan's hands.
"It's you who should say goodbye!!"
Lin Siyuan grabbed Lin Sirong by the collar and pressed him against the glass wall.
The highest level of supernatural energy condensed to form a high-voltage electric current. Ye Bai's retroactive supernatural energy constantly refreshed its state, allowing it to flow into Lin Sirong's body almost continuously.
"Damn it!"
The young master yelled, "Do you know how to use my supernatural power?!"
"BOOM!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sirong's body turned into black ashes in an instant.
However, before Lin Siyuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the old enemy that had been shattered into pieces visible to the naked eye reunite as before.
"Do you think you can kill me like this?"
Lin Sirong smiled slyly.
He kept dispersing and reorganizing in the lightning, his body like a dancing monster. Relying on his twisted body, he suppressed Lin Siyuan with just a few light moves.
"What about me?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and Cui Lan walked out of the corridor with a knife in hand, over the layers of shattered glass.
He seemed to be isolated from the lightning that seemed to make no distinction between enemy and me, and he stood steadily on the ground.
"Although I'm very angry now, I think it's better to give the opportunity to your brother." Cui Lan put the knife back into the sheath.
And the supernatural power connected by Shangli was attached to the electric current at this moment.
[Superpower: Heavenly Punishment]
The blue-purple lightning flashed more violently, and the tremendous energy accompanied by murderous intent instantly broke through the shackles of the space wall, shattering the layers of stacked glass, and overflowed unhindered into the entire space created by Lin Sirong.
“Bang!!”
Shang Li, who was originally watching the show through the glass, turned around and ran away when he saw this, "Oh my, he's here to kill me as well!"
Before the electric current caught up with him, he broke away from the glass in time and stagnated in the void, thus avoiding the fate of being directly overloaded by the electric current as data.
Even so, Shang Li still felt as if the huge energy was overflowing and the information in his body was becoming confused.
This ability really restrains me.
He reached out and wiped away the nonexistent sweat.
Fortunately, the secret room carefully crafted by Master Lin was eventually destroyed before me.
“Zheng——”
Along with the crisp sound of a knife, the entire space was finally shattered by lightning, turning into fragments that dissipated into the void. Lin Sirong, who was closest to the power source, was also completely annihilated.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The people trapped in the supernatural space returned to the realm one by one, and the landing place was exactly the meeting room where Shang Li stayed for the last time.
The empty head below the neck fell from mid-air and was steadily caught by a headless body and put back in place.
The connected incisions solidified into a thin red line, attracting the curious gaze of the nearby phantoms.
After entering Lin Sirong's space, he stayed in the closed office waiting from beginning to end, until the space was broken just now, and then he returned to the realm with them.
Therefore, he naturally saw the people who fell out with Shang Li.
Lin Siyuan sat paralyzed on the ground, gasping for breath, with Xiao Chen lying on top of him, who had also lost all his strength.
Ye Bai touched them one by one, and the two people who were still a little sad immediately returned to their original smooth and slippery appearance.
"Fuck, Old Ye."
Lin Siyuan suddenly came to life, "Your superpowers are awesome."
Hearing the compliment, Ye Bai smiled with a bit of embarrassment.
【Ding Dong.】
Shang Li had just let 568 out of the small dark room when he heard the system's mechanical prompt sound.
[Task 2 has been completed, points have been credited, please continue to work hard.] 568 said reluctantly.
[The content of Mission 3 has been released: Help the protagonist upgrade his abilities in the second round of trials.]
【Points earned: 300 points】
Upgrade?
Shang Li thought, this is not easy.
When the superpowers awaken, they are divided into five levels according to their strength: "S, A, B, C, D", and each superpower can be upgraded by upgrading.
The higher the level of the ability when it is first awakened, the more difficult it is to upgrade. Ye Bai's level of retrospective ability cannot be lower than level A. The second round of trials... will take less than a year.
“Tick, tick.”
The sound of approaching footsteps behind him immediately brought him back to his senses.
Shang Li sighed and patted the shoulder of Huanxiang beside him, "The job of taking care of the child from now on depends on you."
phantom:"?"
Before he could say anything, he saw the original body quickly step back, take out a small black cube from his pocket, and press the button on the top.
"Now that the kid's issue is resolved, the next thing to do is our personal matters, Cui Lan."
Shang Li turned around, stretched out two fingers and firmly grasped the thin blade that was swinging towards his head, and his smiling eyes followed the hand holding the handle of the knife to the man's delicate features.
After saying this, the two of them began to twist and change at the same time.
By the time the two children remembered to look for the teacher, they had already disappeared from the spot.
“…”
Seeing that the original body had thrown the responsibility on itself, the illusion could only rub its brows helplessly and said to the teenagers: "Although Lin Sirong has been resolved, your mission is not yet completed."
"The clues in the middle are also an important criterion for scoring. After such a long time, I believe other students must have surpassed you by a large margin." He put on black-framed glasses and showed a standard smile.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
"ah--"
Ye Bai and Lin Siyuan howled miserably at the same time.
——
At the same time, Shang Li used his authority to take Cui Lan to another copy deep in the realm.
The darkness was pushed away, and bright light appeared again. Shang Li opened his eyes and still saw a wide road and two buildings standing opposite each other.
Sure enough, Cui Lan's attack four years ago was also recorded here.
He didn't know where he had landed, but he wouldn't be able to be caught up for a while, so it was a good time to investigate.
Shang Li used the glass door of a nearby shop to adjust his hair and collar, then walked into Ximing Building with a calm demeanor.
"Hello, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"
When the front desk lady saw a strange man with superior appearance entering the company, she immediately asked in a sweet voice.
This dungeon is not open to the public, so unlike the previous dungeons, only important NPCs are left to reduce the difficulty of student investigation.
"Ability Bureau Operations Department, Shang Li."
Shang Li took out the palm-sized ID he carried with him and said, "I need to enter the company to conduct some...secret investigations."
He narrowed his eyes and put his index finger in front of his lips. "Please don't stretch it."
Hearing this, the receptionist tensed up for a moment. She then looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the hall was empty.
"Sorry, sir, please enter from this way." She lowered her head and opened the access door.
"Well, sorry for the trouble."
Shang Li responded warmly.
He successfully entered Ximing Company and took the elevator that he had just left.
"bite."
The elevator quickly reached the target floor.
Shang Li stepped out of the elevator and walked to the door of the conference room where Xu Ge said the injury accident occurred.
As he expected, two voices were faintly heard in the conference room.
"Xiao Jiang, what do you think of this script?"
This is the capable voice of a middle-aged woman.
"Director Wang said that this is a movie he intends to make specifically with you as the protagonist."
There is no doubt that she is the agent.
"It's OK, but I'm not interested."
Another slightly lazy voice answered.
Shang Li, who was leaning against the wall and eavesdropping, touched his forehead subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed.
He could recognize that the voice belonged to Jiang Mingyu, but the person speaking was obviously not the Jiang he knew.
No matter how much Jiang Mingyu liked to act coquettishly, she had never used this tone in front of him.
Well, how should I put it, three parts frivolity, three parts charm, three parts coquettishness and one part... uh, the aura of a king.
He folded his arms and leaned back, trying to organize the adjectives in his mind for a while, and finally found that the fan-shaped metaphor was the most appropriate one.
...He is indeed a time traveler.
"By the way, the young master of the Cheng family invites you to attend tomorrow night's..." The agent continued in the conference room.
The time traveler: “No.”
"He is a major investor in this play," the agent said earnestly.
"But he plans to support me. Should I agree to it?" The time traveler casually threw out an information bomb.
"What?!"
The agent was stunned and quickly gave up the idea of agreeing.
"Then we should definitely attend the dinner hosted by President Lu," she suggested again.
"We can't refuse an invitation from our big boss."
"Oh."
The time traveler snorted in a noble and cold manner.
“Boom boom boom.”
Just at this moment, Shang Li knocked on the closed door of the conference room and waited leisurely.
After a while, the door opened from the inside. The agent stood at the door to block the view of the inside. He asked the tall, thin man with red eyes in front of him suspiciously, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"A surprise investigation by the Supernatural Bureau." Shang Li took out his ID and smiled. "Don't be nervous. I'm just asking some questions."
“…”
After checking the ID, the agent dispelled his doubts and stepped aside to make way for you. "Please come in."
"Um."
Shang Li happily entered the conference room and finally met Jiang Mingyu, who was controlled by the time traveler as Xu Ge had mentioned before.
The time traveler was sitting lazily on a chair in the conference room.
His hair was dyed a sweet light pink, and he wore a loose pink and white sweater on his upper body. His white fingers were half exposed from his cuffs, holding a cup of coffee.
To be fair, he is indeed very different from the previous Xiao Jiang.
Shang Li thought.
He tried to recall what Jiang Mingyu looked like as an adult, but found that what he remembered was still the appearance of the 14 or 15-year-old girl who had just entered junior high school before he traveled through time.
Tsk, forget it.
"Who are you?"
The time traveler noticed that the man in red who entered the room had his eyes fixed on him, so he looked up and asked in confusion.
"?"
Shang Li's lips remained curved, but his eyebrows slightly raised, "You don't know me?"
Jiang Mingyu has been raised by him and Cui Lan since he was seven years old. Even the data in the field should not be forgotten.
Wouldn't traveling through time allow one to obtain the original body's memory?
"I really don't know you." The time traveler from four years ago answered.
He glanced at the agent standing at the door, and after getting the hint, he finally sat a little more seriously.
"So, what do you from the Supernatural Bureau want me to do?"
