Chapter 167: One Life for Another



Chapter 167: One Life for Another

He didn't know whether Chu Xihen's use of supernatural powers would affect others, but Bai Jinli never failed to do so. His mental power was 100% exhausted and he fell into a coma.

"Sorry." Chu Xihen didn't know what to say and could only apologize briefly.

Bai Jinli didn't care. "It's not something you can control. Why are you apologizing?"

He also knew that Chu Xihen would not use his supernatural powers unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because their common enemy now is Xiao Chou, Lou Su also told Bai Jinli about their recent discoveries, including the last time Xiao Chou attacked Base 117, and the fact that he might have used time reversal on Chu Xihen to make time go backwards.

Bai Jinli was shocked to hear that Xiao Chou would actively attack the player.

Everyone felt that facing the crises in the dungeon and the alien species and mutated plants and animals in reality was already terrifying enough, and now they had to face Xiao Chou, which made people see no hope at all.

After Lou Su finished speaking, Chu Xihen discovered that Bai Jinli was only surprised about the previous incident, but seemed to accept the fact that Lou Su used time travel?

"Are you not interested at all in the fact that the building has gone back in time?" Chu Xihen asked directly as soon as he thought about it.

Bai Jinli paused, looked at Lou Su subconsciously, and then looked away.

From his behavior, even the most careless Ling Yao could tell that something was wrong.

"What do you mean, Brother Bai? We are all in the same boat now. You are not still hiding something from us, are you?" Ling Yao said with an unhappy look on his face.

Chu Xiqi raised his hand and patted his forehead. "It's a grasshopper on a rope! Although I know what you mean, I don't like your description. You are grasshoppers, and my brother and I are humans!"

The two children's interruption did not divert Chu Xihen's attention from Bai Jinli. Xie Ling was also very curious about what he was hiding.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Jinli sighed and said to Lou Su, "Can we talk alone? You know what I want to say."

Others: “…”

You got the secret code right, right?

Lou Su immediately raised his head and faced everyone, "Then please go out for a while."

The "you guys" he mentioned did not include Chu Xihen.

Bai Jinli's eyes showed a little disapproval, but he didn't say anything. Since Lou Su felt that Chu Xihen could listen, he didn't mind.

Everyone else got up and left. When Xie Ling reached the door, he turned back and said to the three of them, "I hope you won't hide things that shouldn't be hidden."

They were now trapped by an ice wall, getting closer and closer to the next instance. Xie Ling had a bold idea in mind, which required the full cooperation of the three people in the house, otherwise his plan would fail.

After Xie Ling left the room, he closed the door for them.

It just so happened that everyone didn't get enough rest last night, so they took this opportunity to go to their rooms to rest.

But Lou Su and Chu Xihen couldn't rest yet.

"Let me remind you again, you know what I'm going to say next. Aren't you afraid that Chu Xihen will hear it?" Bai Jinli gave Lou Su a final warning.

Lou Su's expression was calm, "He knows everything, just tell him!"

Bai Jinli was slightly startled, but soon felt relieved. There was no need to hide the relationship between Lou Su and Chu Xihen.

"Chu Xihen has used his supernatural power three times so far. My [Foresee the Future] has been activated automatically. I saw you every time I was unconscious." After Bai Jinli figured it out, he stopped hesitating and said it directly.

In fact, Chu Xihen used his supernatural powers four times, the most recent one being against the lion's mane jellyfish last night, but Bai Jinli was in a coma at the time and did not feel it.

"See me?" As Lou Su spoke, he looked at Chu Xihen beside him with a guilty look on his face.

Bai Jinli nodded, "To be precise, I saw your entire life. The first time I told you, what I saw was you and me... us together, and Chu Xihen had already..." when we met.

Bai Jinli did not say the word "dead" because he felt it was a bit disrespectful.

But Chu Xihen himself didn't say anything, "That should be the original plot. I'm just a cannon fodder who died a long time ago. You and Lou Su are true love."

After hearing what he said, Bai Jinli believed that Chu Xihen really knew everything.

After all, he still hadn't thought of using the word "cannon fodder" to describe Chu Xihen, because he never believed that they were in a novel world.

But Chu Xihen seemed to have accepted it calmly?

"Yes, that's what you said, that's why I went to Lou Su and said those stupid things." Bai Jinli said with a hint of disgust in his eyes, which was directed at himself.

When he thought back to when he said he liked Lou Su, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to die. He wanted to go back and tear his mouth apart.

"So every time your mental energy was exhausted and you were in a coma, you watched the original plot as a bystander?" Chu Xihen asked.

He knew that Bai Jinli had confessed her love to Lou Su at that time, so he did not ask any more questions.

Now everyone can see that Bai Jinli, at least on the surface, has no love for Lou Su.

Bai Jinli shook his head, "No, it's not just the original plot. The second time I fainted was in the fourth copy. You used your supernatural power to make me faint..."

He was afraid that Chu Xihen and Lou Su would not remember, so he described it in great detail.

People in love usually only have each other in their hearts and don't remember anything about other people. Moreover, he is a time bomb that may destroy their relationship at any time, so it is normal for them not to remember.

"We all remember, go on." Lou Su interrupted him.

Chu Xihen remembered clearly every time he used his supernatural power to trace the building, and he didn't need Bai Jinli to remind him specifically.

"What I saw that time was exactly your life trajectory. You have been an outstanding person since childhood, the child that your parents always talked about. You had excellent grades and were very popular in school. You started your own business when you just became an adult. When you were in college..."

Chu Xihen interrupted him and said, "Brother Bai, let's get to the point. If you continue to tell him so much about him, I will think you still love him deeply."

Bai Jinli immediately had an expression as if he had swallowed a fly. "I just wanted you to feel more involved. Since you don't want to hear it, I'll skip it. He was just a junior in college, that is, when he was 21 years old, he met you, who were 18 years old. The two of you were attracted to each other as soon as you met, and you fell in love very quickly..."

Chu Xihen and Lou Su: "..."

Why do I feel like I've been retaliated against?

"But you were already very ill at the time, and Lou Su tried every possible way to save you, but failed. When he was in despair, he was dragged into that game..." Bai Jinli was interrupted again when he said this.

Lou Su asked, "Are you remembering correctly? Was it me or Xi Hen who entered the game?"

"Yes, it's you. Stop interrupting me!" Bai Jinli was a little angry. "You redeemed various special medicines in the game to extend his life, but it only took two years. Fortunately, you finished the game at the last moment, and then you made a wish in the game, asking Chu Xihen to live, but making a wish comes at a price, and the price Xiao Chou asked for was your life in exchange for his!"
