Chapter 195 Returning to the Institute Again

"Did you discover something?" Bai Jinli asked Lou Su. His mind was a mess. He had some idea originally, but after confirming that the white ball of light was not his special skill [Floating Life Fantasy] at all, he completely lost his direction.

"Let's go over it all over again." Lou Su sat down on a stone next to the fire.

Seeing that he looked like he was going to do something big, Bai Jinli found a nearby stone to sit on. He also kept his distance deliberately in case Hao Ren misunderstood that he and Lou Su had some shameful relationship.

But this is not conducive to their telling secrets, but even if someone wants to eavesdrop, they probably won't understand.

Lou Su said, "When we entered the dungeon, you used a special skill on Xiao Chou. Didn't I say that I saw something like a light wave rebounding back? Because we went to look for Xihen as soon as we came back, and then we were transported to his twelve-year-old state by a white ball of light, so we mistakenly thought it was your skill."

"But now the illusion that we mistook for [Floating Dream] has been shattered, and we are back to the time when we first entered the dungeon. At this time, we all thought that your special skill had been used up, but when you used the skill again just now, it didn't work, which means that your skill is still in use."

"Think about our current situation again. There is no Xihen, only you and me. This is the original plot that Xiao Chou wanted to see. Combined with your skill description, we are in the illusion of Xiao Chou after you used your skill. The light wave that bounced back should be Xiao Chou forcibly pulling us into his illusion, thus forming a new copy."

After listening to Lou Su's long speech, Bai Jinli understood.

He expressed his understanding, "It's like a nesting doll. I used my special skills to trap Xiao Chou, and Xiao Chou used the trick to pull the two of us into his illusion, forming the current copy."

"So the white ball of light that floated out from Chu Xihen's body the first time we encountered it wasn't [Floating Life and Fantasy] at all?" Bai Jinli said, and then felt something was wrong. "But when we went in, we clearly saw the words [Floating Life and Fantasy] in the sky."

Lou Su nodded, "Yes, we felt that it was in [Floating Life and Fantasy] only when we saw the words, but could it be a hint to us? It's not that there is [Floating Life and Fantasy] in the white ball, but that the copy we are in is Xiao Chou's [Floating Life and Fantasy]?"

"What you said makes sense." Bai Jinli frowned and asked, "But who gave us the hint? Chu Xihen?"

"Not sure yet, but we can go and confirm it." Lou Su said.

"How to confirm?" Bai Jinli could see that Lou Su already had a plan in mind.

But Lou Su was not very confident. "We have encountered three white light balls so far. Only the white light ball on Xihen's body can take us back to the past. The one on Wanming's body has no effect at all. However, the one on Han Chong's body can smash a small hole in the sky."

"I have a very... outrageous guess, but I can't be sure now, nor do I dare to act rashly, so we have to go to Xihen's Twelve Years Old again to have a look." Lou Su hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still didn't say what he really thought.

Bai Jinli was a little annoyed by his half-answer behavior, but he didn't ask how outrageous his guess was. Instead, he asked, "How are we going to get there? You've already killed two people. The white light ball is no longer useful."

"So we have to go back to the time when we first entered the dungeon." Lou Su looked at Bai Jinli with determination in his eyes.

Bai Jinli asked subconsciously: "What should we do...you mean?"

His eyes suddenly lit up and he understood what Lou Su meant.

Because he and Lou Su are the so-called protagonists of this world, no matter who dies, the world will collapse and reshape. They were previously corroded by the black mist in the HBP Research Institute, and they thought that the [Floating Dream of Life] was shattered, so they returned to the time when they entered the dungeon.

In fact, it was not some "floating dream", and it was certainly not the illusion that was broken and brought them back to the beginning. Instead, they were killed by the black mist, which led to the reshaping of this copy world.

"No." Bai Jinli suddenly thought of a question, "If you die in a copy, you are really dead. Then why does our death in this copy not affect the real world? This copy is not in the same dimension as the copy we entered before?"

"You could also say that we only entered this copy in consciousness, and our bodies are somewhere else. Our death here would not affect reality. Besides, Xiao Chou wouldn't dare to really let us die, and he doesn't want to start all over again." This was also the reason why Lou Su wanted to die and reset time to when they had just entered the copy.

He was sure that Xiao Chou would not put their lives in danger.

Just as Bai Jinli said at the beginning, this copy is fake, everything in it is an illusion, even themselves!

"Then just kill me. You are already very good at killing people you know." Bai Jinli said bluntly after sorting out his thoughts.

Lou Su was polite for a moment, "You should just kill me. Although I have no feelings for you, I still can't bring myself to kill you."

"Okay, then have a nice trip." Bai Jinli said and snapped his fingers at Lou Su, and a crystal clear blue butterfly pierced through Lou Su's throat.

Lou Su: "..."

Is this somewhat personal?

As soon as Lou Su fell, the whole space began to shake, and the same situation occurred as when they were invaded by the black mist in the research institute.

After arranging the retreat of the superpowers, Hao Ren hurried over and saw Bai Jinli killing Lou Su.

He was kind of broken down.

With his limited life experience, he really couldn't figure out what kind of perverts Lou Su and Bai Jinli were, and why they killed people for no reason.

Fortunately, the world completely collapsed in the next moment, and Hao Ren’s collapse did not last long.

After a period of darkness, Lou Su and Bai Jinli opened their eyes again, still hugging each other.

The two of them quickly stood up in tacit understanding.

"That's just how it is. Let's go to the airport now. The white ball of light after Xi Hen's death can take us back to the research institute. The purpose of our going to the research institute this time is to find their research data." Lou Su stood up and spoke quickly to Bai Jinli.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions." Bai Jinli said.

Before leaving, Lou Su did not forget to help Hao Ren kill the mutant yellow cow.

This time they didn't hesitate at all, they got up and ran. When Hao Ren came over, he only saw their backs running away.

Hao Ren scratched the back of his head in confusion: "What are these two doing?"

Even though they were much faster than last time, when they arrived outside the airport, they just happened to see Chu Xihen being killed by the alien and falling from the building.

So no matter how fast Lou Su rushed back, he couldn't see the living Chu Xihen in advance.

After seeing Chu Xihen die in his arms again, Lou Su and Bai Jinli successfully used the white light ball to return to the HBP Research Institute.

"After we go in, split up and look for research data related to the black stone egg on the negative tenth floor. It's okay to take direct action when necessary. At worst, we can start over again." Lou Su said this to Bai Jinli before entering the research institute.
