Chapter 56: Unowned territory will eventually become a cancer for land occupation...
"That's not right, then how do you know me?"
Li Ming was almost confused by the words, but soon he discovered a misunderstanding in Cui Yinyin's words with his sharp mind.
But Cui Yinyin just looked at him calmly.
"Okay..." Li Ming suddenly returned to normal after seeing this. He said angrily: "You didn't see me as an individual who could be recorded, but as part of the rainy night incident."
"Yes." Cui Yinyin nodded in response.
Could this be the so-called "limit is stuck"? Li Ming suddenly fell silent. He seemed to understand how he was treated in Cui Yinyin's eyes. It was very likely that...
Someone whose name does not even appear in the news reports.
"Now I understand why you hesitated..."
Li Ming, whose face turned as pale as a paper man, laughed at himself: letting the person involved know about this would really make him become autistic, and he would be very likely to do something extreme.
"Not everyone can accept it, but there are other possibilities..."
Cui Yinyin suddenly frowned and said, "Because there are more things that humans as a whole don't know than we can imagine. We can't completely trust prophecies, because prophecies are always one-sided."
Li Ming suddenly came to his senses after hearing this.
The reason why Cui Yinyin did not have her "memory restored" is simple: because the human race as a whole does not know. She cannot see stories that cannot be recorded by the human race as a whole.
"if……"
Li Ming considered his words carefully and said, "If I assume that there will be a memory loss event that affects everyone in the future, what do you think will happen?"
Cui Yinyin looked at Li Ming quietly.
She has always been calm and composed beyond her age, so much so that many people would easily mistake her for an adult.
"Your conditions should be more specific." Cui Yinyin shook her head and pointed out: "I can't tell what will happen in this situation."
"Oh well……"
Li Ming shrugged in dismay. He heard his heart beating irregularly, he felt his voice trembling, and he realized that he was getting closer to the correct answer:
"Let's just say it's a time rewind, just like in the game."
"The world once went back in time."
"In this case, how will your foresight change as a prophet? How will it change as a person affected by the time rewind?"
Cui Yinyin blinked immediately after hearing this.
The look she gave Li Ming suddenly became subtle, but Li Ming looked back at her indifferently. Then Cui Yinyin's expression returned to normal.
“That’s a very good question,” she commented.
"I won't find out, but Huoyan can." Cui Yinyin stated calmly, "His fate will be folded back, but the folded fate is still his fate."
"Unless that fate is worthless to him."
In other words——
Unless humanity as a whole can detect the existence of the rollback, Cui Yinyin will not be able to predict it.
He guessed it was because of the reference object! Li Ming was impressed by his current discovery, but he still didn't know what happened last week.
"As for the other people affected..."
Cui Yinyin pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on what caused the rollback event. But no matter what, it won't affect me..."
Cui Yinyin's last sentence sounded extremely melancholy.
She is the key to preventing the destruction of humanity and continuing civilization. Whoever caused this reality cannot be detected by her. Her prophecy is based on the current fate of mankind.
The past is already the past, and the present is still unknown.
No matter how much you want to change your fate, you won't be able to completely drag the helmsman of the cruise ship called "human civilization" into it. Whether it is a disaster or humanity, it needs a stable stage that will not collapse.
Cui Yinyin sighed softly at this.
She looked up at Li Ming and said, "You should understand now, right?"
"I understand!" Li Ming's eyes sparkled. "It's like rebuilding the building blocks in a limited time. No matter what, I would never think of involving the foundation."
Cui Yinyin was silent: "...It's a very appropriate metaphor."
It just made her a little numb.
The current development is still good for humanity. Li Ming pondered to himself: The reason why the Lost One knew about last week's episode is because he is a prophet, not because of his identity as a disaster.
As for 'memory return', the problem lies with JAC.
What did the S-class apocalypse 'Tyrant', who witnessed the destruction of civilization and the death of his family and friends, see in the end that made him want to restart the world?
He didn't want to notice it, but he wanted to notice the difference.
Why?
Li Ming guessed: If he really remembered it, it would most likely awaken some existence. It was like a chain reaction, the awakening of one existence's memory would lead to the awakening of another existence's memory.
"No wonder it's like this." Li Ming suddenly realized.
He finally understood the situation he was in. There would be no reborn people in the world at present, and even if someone realized that something was wrong, they would only be at the level of Xiao Yiyan or Jiang Huai.
The exception is the group of prophets.
Li Ming still felt a lingering fear when he thought about this incident. He was really scared to death by the Lost Ones at that time.
"Are you guys awake?"
Just as Li Ming was lost in thought, a familiar, gentle male voice came from the door. Xiao Yiyan held a flashlight and looked at the two people sitting opposite each other on the sofa with a troubled look.
"We are exchanging information." Cui Yinyin answered first.
"Exchange of information?"
Xiao Yiyan repeated in a low voice as he walked towards the two of them. His footsteps stepped on the wooden floor, which made a dull cracking sound. Combined with the gray fog outside the window, the dim room was even more eerie.
Li Ming was so scared that his eyelids twitched.
Just as he sat there stiffly, a cold right hand suddenly covered his shoulder. Li Ming turned his head mechanically, only to see the owner of the hand——
Xiao Yiyan smirked: "I guessed that you knew Jiang Huai."
"I...I can explain..."
Li Ming raised his hands in panic and tried to defend himself: "Who would have thought you were brothers? You don't look alike at all!"
"Most importantly—"
"You said it yourself: If Jiang Huai's classmates knew about you, he must be a fake classmate."
Xiao Yiyan: “…Hehe.”
But after saying this, he finally returned to his usual gentle demeanor. Xiao Yiyan covered his face helplessly and said as if giving up: "I didn't expect Ah Huai to really make friends in college who share family situations with him."
Xiao Yiyan's tone was indescribably surprised.
"Actually, he told me that the day before yesterday." Li Ming retorted in a low voice.
"…As if I didn't say anything."
After hearing this, Xiao Yiyan immediately raised a stiff smile. Deep in his eyes was a trace of disgust, but he concealed it very well.
Obviously, Xiao Yiyan was very troubled by Jiang Huai's actions.
"Aren't you going to sleep again?" Li Ming said, staring at the creases on Xiao Yiyan's clothes.
"I didn't sleep well."
Xiao Yiyan answered vaguely. He pulled over a chair and sat next to Li Ming. But even though he was sitting next to Li Ming, his eyes were on Cui Yinyin.
Li Ming was lost in thought and thought: The little witch is very busy today.
"If you have anything to ask, please just say it." Cui Yinyin gestured to the other party with one hand with a calm look.
"Do you know how to leave the ownerless area?"
"It's me."
"..." Xiao Yiyan fell silent after hearing this. His eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then he asked in a gentle tone: "Then do you know how to eliminate the ownerless area?"
Li Ming blinked after hearing this.
This was also a question he had been curious about, although he felt it was not good when he thought about it at the time. A domain with an owner can be eliminated by killing the master of the domain, but what about an unowned domain?
Cui Yinyin frowned.
She sighed deeply and murmured in a somewhat predictable manner: "I knew this would be a problem. The Disaster is an enemy that existed before the Cataclysm, and the Disaster Realm also existed before the Cataclysm."
"At that time, we could have reduced the size of the domain by blocking the affected area and reducing the number of derivatives, and eventually eliminated the domain. This process might have taken several months, but..."
Xiao Yiyan interrupted coldly: "It can't be done now."
They cannot afford to waste time, let alone achieve the mobilization efficiency before the disaster.
"So what do you want to ask me?"
Cui Wanwan looked at Xiao Yiyan with sadness in her eyes: "You already know the second way to eliminate the ownerless area."
"Ah?" Li Ming was caught off guard after hearing this.
His eyes flickered between the two people beside him, and he was utterly shocked: So this is the prophet?
"Don't look at me like that."
Xiao Yiyan smiled bitterly and waved his hands after meeting Li Ming's gaze: "I am just like you, I have a question that I want to know the answer to no matter what."
I just didn't expect it to be true.
Xiao Yiyan looked down at his palm. He covered his eyes with one hand and sighed tiredly. The worst nightmare had become a reality at this moment, or a possible future.
Cui Yinyin's eyes suddenly reflected the figure of Li Ming, who was confused about the current situation.
Seeing this, she explained: "It's simple, but also cruel. Just turn the unowned area into an owned area, and then let humans conquer it."
"But this doesn't explain..." Xiao Yiyan's reaction.
Li Ming was at a loss for words:
So where did you capture the Domain Lord? How could it be so easy in this world?
However, Cui Yinyin's glass-like eyes suddenly became misty. She tried to speak calmly: "Li Ming, people can fall into disaster."
"And disasters of similar sequence will spontaneously become the kings of their unowned areas after they are born."
Li Ming suddenly froze in place.
The inexplicable, biting cold suddenly permeated his bones. He felt like a frozen dead fish that had been fished out of the polar regions, and he suddenly couldn't control his words and actions.
"But what does this mean?" he asked, pulling his lips.
Cui Yinyin looked out the window speechlessly. The fog was still thick outside, and no sunlight could be seen. Their compatriots who were born after the disaster would know the fog before they knew the sky.
Just as many people will be "sacrificed" by this rule.
"What this means is..." Cui Yinyin murmured sadly, "The struggle among the future domain masters will be more serious and more cruel than you can imagine..."
"The High Sequences never accept losers in their territory."
"Those domains that lose their masters will eventually become cancerous tumors that occupy the land until the abyss swallows them up."
Li Ming suddenly froze in place.
He felt inexplicably cold, a colder feeling than he had ever felt before.
He saw a picture: a brother went alone into the depths of the fog, determined to die, and headed for a desolate land. The brother opened the wooden box given by the elders that could bring victory, but he saw the body of his sister who had died a few months ago in the small wooden box.
Pain, anger, wailing.
Complex and dry emotions invaded his heart, and he, she, he, it, him, he, he——
He can only watch everything happen unchanged for thousands of years.
The first death comes from forced "sacrifice"; the second death comes from oppressed "killing".
"Why is this happening?" Li Ming asked.
Cui Yinyin replied: "This is the rule of the Abyss. The Abyss never interferes with the fights between the Domain Lords, so the aftermath of their fight will only be a aftermath."
"Why did Abyss do this?" Li Ming was extremely angry.
Cui Yinyin just stared at Li Ming in silence: "No one can answer for the abyss. Only the gods who created the abyss are qualified to answer this question."
Yes--
No one can answer for the abyss.
Just as Li Ming was lost in thought, Xiao Yiyan beside him suddenly stood up. He seemed to have finally sorted out his emotions, and returned to his gentle shell, with a complicated look in his eyes:
"Please don't tell Jiang Huai about this."
Li Ming was suddenly stunned:
He thought he understood why Xiao Yiyan came to find Jiang Huai.
