Chapter 169 Stargazing to Change Destiny

"What are you thinking about?" Chu Xihen raised his hand and waved it in front of Lou Su who was in a daze.

Ever since Bai Jinli said that it was Xiao Chou who went backwards in time, Lou Su looked like he was deep in thought.

Lou Su came back to his senses and hugged Chu Xihen, "Don't you think this is unreasonable? If it was Xiao Chou who turned time back to when you were eighteen, then why did it call me a time thief?"

"So you must have used time travel." Chu Xihen sat on Lou Su's legs, leaning his head back while speaking, resting comfortably on Lou Su's shoulder.

"Do you think so too?" Lou Su looked down at him and couldn't help but kiss him on the corner of his mouth.

Chu Xihen held Lou Su's head with his backhand and gave him a long kiss before continuing, "If you put yourself in his shoes, you will know that your time reversal ability only reached the maximum level when you cleared the level. Because your first wish was rejected, you became defensive against Xiao Chou. You deliberately asked Xiao Chou to rewind time when you had the ability to do so. You were testing him."

Lou Su nodded and whispered in Chu Xihen's ear: "I want it to think that I haven't seen the full effect of time reversal, but Xiao Chou has already agreed to rewind time to when you were eighteen years old, so what's the point of me using time reversal?"

He was sure that he had used time to go back, but he just couldn't figure out why he did that.

"Don't forget the conditions Xiao Chou set. It asked you to accept the plot arrangement and I would disappear from your life. But now the facts are in front of us and we met anyway. I think this is the key to your use of time travel. You changed the plot set by Xiao Chou." Chu Xihen reminded Lou Su.

Bai Jinli left Chu Xihen and his room in an irritable mood, because he and his teammates arrived at Base 117 relatively late, and their room was arranged at the very edge of the second floor, separated by Gu Xingxie and Xie Ling's rooms.

Gu Xingxie was standing in the corridor, holding a compass in his hand, staring at the stars in the snowy night in a daze.

"Can you calculate whether it will be a good or bad time for everyone to enter the dungeon next time?" Bai Jinli walked to stand next to him and looked up at the stars in the sky together.

Gu Xingxie was a little surprised to hear his voice, and even felt that he was a little too familiar. It seemed that they didn't know each other yet?

But the tone in which Bai Jinli spoke to him made it seem as if they were not strangers?

"Sorry, I forgot you didn't know me." Bai Jinli only reacted when he saw the strangeness in Gu Xingxie's eyes.

His words made Gu Xingxie even more confused.

Bai Jinli touched his nose and explained, "When I was unconscious, I saw you and Lou Su clearing many dungeons together, and I subconsciously thought that we knew each other."

The more he explained, the more confusing it became. Bai Jinli gave up and said, "Forget it. Just treat it as nonsense. I'm going back to my room first."

"No, wait a moment." Gu Xingxie saw him about to leave and grabbed his wrist in panic.

The moment their hands touched, their respective special skills were activated simultaneously.

Then they all withdrew their hands quickly as if they had been electrocuted.

"What did you see?" they both asked in unison.

Neither of them knew each other's skills, and had no idea that the other had the skill of foresight. The reason they asked in such a tacit understanding was entirely based on their intuition as colleagues.

"You speak first." Bai Jinli looked at Gu Xingxie with a strange expression.

Gu Xingxie's handsome eyebrows were knitted together. "I have never cleared a dungeon with Brother Lou. I have only entered a dungeon once, which was the last one. Brother Lou happened to be in a brain-dead state due to excessive mental exhaustion, so he was unable to enter the dungeon."

"What? Aren't you a survivor of the game?" Bai Jinli wasn't originally asking about this, but once Gu Xingxie mentioned it, it successfully aroused his interest.

Gu Xingxie shook his head, "Not really."

"That's not right. Could you please come with me to find them?" Bai Jinli asked.

Gu Xingxie did not object.

When he entered Chu Xihen and their room again, Bai Jinli saw that the chair he had kicked over was still lying on the ground, and he picked it up himself.

"Have you made any new discoveries? Is it related to Master Gu?" Chu Xihen asked Bai Jinli.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Lou Su and said, "The key to your changing the plot is not only to go back in time, but you may also have used Master Gu."

Gu Xingxie: “?”

Bai Jinli also spoke up at this time: "In the images I saw when I was unconscious, this Gu Dashi was always your regular teammate. You have been working side by side since the first dungeon. When you made a wish, you only gave your qualification to enter the game to Chu Xihen, but your teammate should not be affected. But he just told me that he is not a survivor of the game at all?"

Lou Su's mind raced, and he immediately asked Gu Xingxie, "What is the name of your special ability?"

When he asked this, Chu Xihen remembered that they had known Gu Xingxie for some time and knew that he could seek good fortune and avoid danger, but they had never asked him what his skill was called.

"It's called [Observe the Stars to Change Your Destiny]." Gu Xingxie said honestly.

"Change fate!" Lou Su only grasped the key point and said: "So it was you who changed the fate of the three of us, otherwise I would definitely follow the original plot under Xiao Chou's arrangement."

But it is still impossible to fully guess what he did at that time.

When Bai Jinli heard what he said, he turned to look at Gu Xingxie and said with great relief, "Thank you, Master Gu!"

Gu Xingxie: “???”

Ever since he entered the room, he felt like he couldn't understand what people were saying. What was going on?

Bai Jinli thanked him and then thought of another thing, "Just now I touched his hand and saw the scene of his death."

Gu Xingxie: “???”

What? He didn't understand a single word I said, and he's almost dead?

"Was he killed by me using [Spirit Absorption]?" Chu Xihen asked.

Because Bai Jinli just said that he killed everyone present except Lou Su. Gu Xingxie, as his regular teammate, must have been there.

"Yes, but he just fell down and stood up again." This is why Bai Jinli had a strange expression just now, "My [Future Forecasting] only showed other people's death scenes, but I actually saw a scene where he died and came back to life!"

Chu Xihen looked at Gu Xingxie as if he were a national treasure, "So he is the only survivor among our group."

Gu Xingxie finally found an opportunity to speak, "I forgot to tell you that if I am not fatally injured, I can still live for ten years. But if I am fatally injured during this period, one year of life reduction can resist one fatal injury."

Bai Jinli was shocked: "Is this one of your special abilities?"

I have to say, it's pretty strong.

After all, in today's environment, living for ten years is considered a long life, and using a few more years to prevent fatal injuries is completely fine.

"This is not a special skill, it's considered my passive skill?" Gu Xingxie joked.

These ten years were earned after he had spent several decades.

"This is what I saw when I met you just now. What about you? Did you see me as dead or alive?" Bai Jinli asked Gu Xingxie.
