Chapter 55 References An unexpected question
The five of them met late at night.
Although the straight-line distance between them seemed very close, in order to avoid being trapped again, everyone chose to move away from Chuncheng first, which resulted in some people having to wait exceptionally long.
"Let's find a place to rest first."
Cui Yinyin said calmly, "I believe that everyone present should not have had a good rest due to what happened in the field."
"It's safe outside the realm for now."
When Li Ming arrived late, he just happened to hear Cui Yinyin's last words. Li Ming looked around the foggy surroundings, feeling inexplicably sarcastic:
I didn’t expect that fog could also be a symbol of safety.
"Because I have a lot to say." Cui Yinyin looked at everyone equally and said sincerely and seriously: "I'm worried that you will die suddenly."
Xiao Yiyan, who had been forced to stay up late for a long time, said: "It seems so."
Jiang Huai, who had been stabbed in the back repeatedly throughout the night, said: "..."
Cui Wanwan, who had been up all night for three days, looked away silently. Although she knew her sister was not talking to her, her chance of sudden death was the highest among all the people present.
Drinking, staying up late, fighting.
After she awakened her talent and became an apocalypse, Cui Wanwan did everything she wanted to do and didn't want to do several times. But there was no way, the work of the military was so unexpected.
Except for alcoholism.
"There's a resort nearby..." Cui Wanwan coughed and said as coldly as possible, "I can lead you there."
She walked straight behind Cui Yinyin and stood tall like a bodyguard.
Cui Wanwan checked her sister's safety with her eyes before finally turning her gaze to the other people present. A hint of approval could not help but hide in her eyes.
If it were peacetime, she would be happy to introduce them.
But now the situation has changed drastically, and the previous social system is no longer applicable to the current world. She can already foresee the chaos and disorder in the future.
And Cui Wanwan soon received a response.
"That's it for now then."
Xiao Yiyan sighed after hearing this. It would have been fine if he hadn't pointed it out, but once he did, he immediately realized how exhausted he was physically and mentally. The current situation was really not suitable for continuing the conversation.
He looked up and asked Cui Wanwan: "Shall we follow you?"
Cui Wanwan nodded: "We'll talk about the details later."
"good."
The communication between the two went smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, Li Ming saw the two people who were talking had walked towards the car one after another. He looked back at Jiang Huai blankly, only to see that Jiang Huai was consciously and silently following their steps.

"Um……"
Li Ming felt a little strange about this. Although Jiang Huai didn't say it, he could feel that the reunion of these two people would definitely not be smooth. Maybe he would be caught between them later...
"Li Ming?" Jiang Huai suddenly called him strangely.
Li Ming suddenly came back to his senses. He ran to Jiang Huai and asked in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "Did anything happen after you and I separated?"
Jiang Huai was stunned after hearing this.
He asked back with an awkward expression: "Which you are you referring to?"
"..." Li Ming fell silent.
Damn, a path that had never been imagined. It turned out that before they met in the communication field, their first priority was to distinguish who among the people they met was their compatriot.
"You... have you met me these days?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows instinctively.
"It's not just you." Jiang Huai responded in a hollow tone, "Except for the little girl who came with you, everyone else here today has encountered this problem over and over again."
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming said with difficulty: "Then you are quite amazing."
There are definitely not thousands of Jiang Huai, but there might be thousands of faceless people. Li Ming was really glad that he did not participate in their final melee.
But it's more like catching up on sleep than resting.
Li Ming originally wanted to explore the resort first, search for supplies, and then rest until the next day. However, the result was that the other people all skipped the first two steps.
Li Ming and Cui Yinyin were left standing there staring at each other.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Cui Yinyin asked calmly. As she spoke, she raised the flashlight her sister gave her and waved it towards the fog outside.
The outside world was dark and without any light, with only tiny sounds surrounding my ears.
Several mice hiding in the dark were stimulated by Cui Yinyin's sudden exposure and fled in all directions. At the same time, similar panicked squeaking sounds came from the walls of the house where they were.
The atmosphere now is even weirder than in the field.
"I'm not sleepy." Li Ming replied in a low voice.
Of course he wasn't sleepy. The reason was to thank Xiao Yiyan for his consideration. If Xiao Yiyan hadn't "forced" him to sleep a little longer, he might have been among those who fell asleep right now.
"Yeah." Cui Yinyin nodded after hearing this, "That's great, we can continue chatting."
"But there are some things you need to keep secret. If these things were known too early, it would not be good for our world." Cui Yinyin said as she walked towards the living room.
Li Ming subconsciously asked: "What are you referring to?"
"The question you asked me before we met." Cui Yinyin's eyes suddenly flashed with worry, "As for the rest... I haven't figured out whether to tell you..."
"I think it's better to exclude me from 'you guys'."
When Li Ming recalled the existence of the forum, he smiled helplessly. If he was blocked from information by the pure white space for this reason, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
"I'm thinking about that."
Cui Yinyin answered in the same tone, but soon she stood in front of the sofa in the living room, turned around to look at Li Ming, and said stubbornly: "But there is no existence of you in my future."
"Why can't you appear in the future of mankind, Li Ming?"
This question is a bit complicated...
After hearing this, Li Ming scratched his head with one hand. He saw his own shadow in Cui Yinyin's glass-like gray eyes, the existence named "Li Ming".
And 'Li Ming' is a dead person.
Li Ming finally chose to bend down and tried to comfort Cui Yinyin gently: "I think you also know that I don't know about this."
"Yes I know."
Cui Yinyin murmured with some regret: "I'm just curious about what Huoyan saw. Our predictions can complement each other. If I can successfully interpret his predictions, it means..."
One step closer to avoiding the end of 'destruction of civilization'.
The unfinished words lingered between Cui Yinyin's teeth. In less than a moment, Cui Yinyin returned to her usual expressionless look.
"Take a seat, this is going to be a long conversation."
Cui Yinyin said calmly: "I believe that you have many misunderstandings about reference objects and our talents."
Li Ming sat down calmly opposite Cui Yinyin.
The French window in the living room was still filled with fog, and he could only make out some mottled black shadows of tree branches. Cui Yinyin placed a lantern on the low table.
Obviously she just picked it up when she passed by.
"Have you ever thought about what I can see?" Cui Yinyin asked as calmly as possible.
"Some...some future related to humanity as a whole." Li Ming smiled awkwardly after hearing this. He really didn't understand how big the difference caused by different reference objects was.
Cui Yinyin felt helpless after hearing this.
She smiled and said, "Let's say it's the first day of the year, and three bad things will happen this year: one is an earthquake, one is a serial murder case, and one is the disqualification of an actor."
"What do you think I can predict?"
An unexpected question.
Li Ming immediately pulled the corners of his stiff mouth. But after Cui Yinyin's reminder, he suddenly understood the role of "omniscience".
Li Ming pondered for a moment and replied, "I think there is another premise, that is, whether these events can be recorded in human history. All events that will be recorded by mankind as a whole will become part of your prophecy."
"Including those individuals." Li Ming added softly.
This is an obvious fact.
If Cui Yinyin couldn't see the individual, she wouldn't have come to find Jiang Huai on purpose. Jiang Huai is an individual worthy of being recorded by the human race as a whole, so Cui Yinyin, as a prophet, can find him.
"When did you gain 'omniscience'?" Li Ming asked subconsciously.
But when the question was really asked, his face was immediately filled with regret: The timing of Cui Yinyin's awakening of her talent was obvious... so obvious that the two of them didn't even need to communicate...
"After the catastrophe." Cui Yinyin replied softly: "S-level Apocalypse will only appear after the catastrophe."
"Is that so?" Li Ming was surprised. Although he thought of the former, he did not expect that the path to becoming an S-level Apocalypse was blocked by the catastrophe.
Cui Yinyin nodded: "The Talent Sequence is an existence that appeared in our world along with the disaster. People often mistake it for a gift from the gods, but in fact it comes from the abyss."
"And the cataclysm allowed the Abyss to come into contact with the planet."
Li Ming suddenly frowned after hearing this: "According to what you said... Could it be that..."
Could it be that there are signs of disaster?
"Yes." Cui Yinyin stared at Li Ming calmly and said, "I believe that people at that time should have taken action, but they did not expect the disaster to come so quickly and so seriously..."
Their struggle was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and became a scribbled line on a dirty piece of paper.
So inconspicuous that it is not even worth recording in history.
Li Ming remained silent.
He inexplicably recalled that Wei Zhehan once complained about his father wanting him to take leave and go home quickly. At that point in time, suddenly asking his only child to go home quickly...
I really can't say it's definitely irrelevant.
"Let's continue." Cui Yinyin said calmly, "You should understand the personal destiny now. The talent of 'Huo Yan' is--"
"Everything and everyone who steps into their destiny will become part of their foreknowledge."
Li Ming swallowed unconsciously.
Although he had been prepared, when the facts were laid before Li Ming, he still felt sad in his heart.
"Now let's go back to the beginning."
Cui Yinyin looked at Li Ming as gently as possible and said, "Why can he see things that I can't see? The answer is simple, because the people or things he saw were not recorded in human history."
"Li Ming, I can't see you."
"Because you don't exist in the human history I'm currently seeing."
Li Ming's eyes suddenly widened:
Wait, could it be that the little witch is referring to this week's episode?
