His eyes were fixed on the waves crashing before him, and Alice's voice came to his ears:
"Detective."
Su Mingan raised his head stiffly, as if he was controlling a vegetative patient. He felt everything around him was extremely cold, as if ants were gnawing at his heart.
He was shocked by Chao Yan's final move - she deliberately placed her head on his abdomen, which was closest to the bomb.
So much so that when the bomb exploded, she died a second faster than him.
That was the second - due to the mechanism of "Killing a person will gain the person's memory", Su Mingan gained all her memories in that second. Although it was a cursory glance, with only one second of browsing time, he already knew what had happened in the past.
——She walks between the circles, retaining her memories.
——When his memory was repeatedly flushed, she became his memory storage. When she was killed by him, he could take over all her memories.
But if this move was really effective, why didn't Su Ming'an succeed once in the previous nine rounds? Didn't he do something similar before?
"Detective, we've been lying on the beach for a long time. Is it time to leave?" Alice lay on the beach with her hair dripping with water.
Su Ming'an moved his eyes. His movements were slow but careful. The angle of his field of vision turned little by little, for fear that if he moved too quickly, he would suddenly see a god that would cause his heart to stop.
Finally, he slowly checked his surroundings - there were no gods around.
——Is it your own rollback that is triggered?
--Yeah?
He almost had PTSD. Whenever he saw the god's fluttering white hair, his cold eyes, or heard his calm voice, he would subconsciously feel fear in his heart, even if his rationality allowed him to suppress this fear.
The sea breeze blew by, and the current time point was the time when he and Alice were washed onto the beach by the waves and had not yet gone to the country of Huomulier to ask Hei Que for the bomb.
The waves kept caressing his stiff body, and he closed his eyes slightly - suddenly a shadow was cast on his head.
"......!" His heart skipped a beat, his fingers subconsciously gripped the sand, and he heard a familiar voice.
"…How many times has this happened?" asked the owner of the shadow.
Su Mingan slowly loosened his hand, and he remembered that this was Su Wensheng. Su Wensheng should indeed appear at this time.
"...The first time." Su Mingan answered again.
He knew what Su Wensheng would say next. Su Wensheng would provide news about the Huo Muli country, persuade Su Ming'an to seek help from Hei Que, and then walk to the prophecy stone wall.
Su Wensheng touched his chin.
Su Mingan closed his eyes. Next, he needed to avoid walking to the prophecy stone wall. At the same time, he had to find Chao Yan... He finally knew everything she had done, and he wanted to be her companion. As long as they kept going together, they would succeed.
"Really? The first time?" Su Wensheng pinched his chin.
Su Wensheng's words were no different from the previous rounds. This made Su Mingan feel relieved, it seemed that it was not Xiao Su's return that was triggered.
Su Mingan stood up slowly. He knew that Su Wensheng would mention the matter of Huo Mulier Kingdom next.
…
[“Really? Is it the first time?” Su Wensheng pinched his chin: “I will indeed keep your memories of going back, but these memories will not be very clear. I will only vaguely know that you have gone back. Now I do feel that you have not gone back, but... you look very tired. But you said, is it the first time?”]
…
Come on, tell me.
Su Mingan already knew what Su Wensheng was about to say. He wiped the seawater off his body and planned what to do next.
"But..." Su Wensheng touched his chin and paused for a moment. He looked around and blinked:
"Why do I have a vague feeling that this isn't the first time...Su Ming'an, have you really never triggered Xiao Su's replay?"
A fine drizzle began to fall from the sky, tapping on Su Mingan's eyelids.
Su Mingan's expression froze.
He felt that everything around him seemed to be caught in a summer night storm, shaking endlessly, and his vision also began to shake and tilt.
……What.
Su Wensheng's confused expression was reflected in his eyes. He knew that Su Wensheng shouldn't say such a thing. If he said such a thing, it would mean...
The fear in his heart was instantly magnified. He held his rapid breath and slowly turned back. He saw——
"Detective..." Alice shook Su Ming'an's hand: "Are you okay? Are you too cold..."
——A cluster of white shadows in the distance.
The next second, the white shadow was very close to him.
A cold voice, a faint smile, and a frightening look.
"I'm sorry I blocked you, Su Mingan."
The sound of the wind, the rain, the waves, Alice's screams, and his own breathing that filled his ears.
Sound after sound, dull, cold, and silent.
His hair swayed softly and danced playfully in the sea breeze, but he was like a stone rooted in the beach, stiff and cold.
He suddenly noticed that the light in the sky was very dim, as if it was late. If he triggered his own death rollback, the time would not be so late, because he remembered that the key time point was when he was just washed up on the beach. But Alice said that they had been lying on the beach for a long time.
The details were slowly pulled back into his brain, and he finally and inevitably realized that he had triggered Xiao Su's flashback again.
