Chapter 0074 Choice? The Reborn!
"You just wait here with my benefactor. I'll let you go when I get back."
Fan Datong guided Fan Zhi to the sofa and carefully placed him down.
Liu Bai nodded expressionlessly.
Now he knows all the information and is just waiting to leave.
He was in no hurry.
In the next playthrough, killing this spirit will be a piece of cake for him!
Fan Datong's transparent figure floated towards the gate.
But just as he floated out the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back to warn him:
"You better stay here and behave yourself."
"If you interfere with my plans, your girlfriend will develop depression because of the media and commit suicide!"
"Don't worry, Brother Fan."
Liu Bai gave a friendly smile:
"I'm the most honest person."
Fan Datong said no more and disappeared outside the door.
Seeing Fan Datong disappear through the door, Liu Bai immediately suppressed his smile.
Judging from the current situation, this spirit seems a bit dull.
He gives people the impression of being simple-minded and without any guile, and he genuinely has no intention of killing outsiders like them.
While pondering, Liu Bai carefully avoided the two blood-stained human skins and sat down in front of a chair.
The room was very quiet at the moment.
The boy lay calmly on the sofa, tears still visible at the corners of his eyes.
And his parents...
Liu Bai's expression was somewhat strange.
What would happen if this child knew the truth?
He already knew Fan Datong's plans.
That is to replace the entire town with fake people and then create the town in the boy's mind.
Of course, there are still normal people here, such as the residents of Yunhua Lane.
He didn't kill any of those who had helped Fan Datong.
"Tsk tsk, The Truman Show, huh..."
Liu Bai found it somewhat absurd.
Did Fan Datong do all this just to repay a debt of gratitude?
This person is even more principled than a human being!
"Oh, right! If I want to kill Fan Datong next time, then Fan Zhi will die too..."
Liu Bai suddenly thought of a question.
Fan Datong at that time was embodied in the young boy!
But this boy was just an innocent person...
Did the boy do something wrong?
not at all!
Liu Bai got up and went to the sofa, quietly looking at the boy.
Fan Zhi was short, dark-skinned, plain-looking, and very thin.
Killing the boy would be easy; he just needs to pull the trigger...
But he was a little conflicted.
This is like the trolley problem: killing one person can save many.
But if we don't kill them, many people will die!
Another point is that everyone is innocent, including the boy!
and so…
To kill or not?
Under dim lighting.
The bloodstains and two human skins on the ground were incredibly gruesome.
The food on the table had gone cold, and three pairs of bowls and chopsticks were scattered haphazardly on the table.
The boy lay on the sofa, looking peaceful.
But the tear stains at the corners of her eyes were still wet.
Liu Bai took out his phone to check the time, then turned his gaze back to the boy.
【12:30】
He was silent for a moment, then slowly reached out his hand towards the boy's face...
……
……
"Headquarters! Contact with Ishii Town was lost at 12:00 PM! Number 7 has also lost contact!"
Number 71 spoke anxiously into the tablet:
"Ishii Town has been confirmed as the medium for the barrier, and it is gradually fading from our memories! Please issue instructions from headquarters!"
Sizzle... sizzle...
A steady voice came from the tablet:
"Has Number Seven made any arrangements for you?"
"have!"
Number 71 immediately responded:
"He told us to wait on the perimeter, and once he fired the signal flare, we would surround and attack!"
Did he fire a signal flare?
"without!"
"Then you stay where you are and wait for the signal flare to be launched!"
"Can…"
Number 71 spoke somewhat rapidly:
"But I just activated the Sky Eye surveillance system, and a large number of spies have already been mobilized in Shijing Town!"
"Continue to wait where you are. This is Number One's instruction." The steady voice on the tablet remained unchanged.
"……yes!"
Upon hearing "Number One," Number 71 immediately saluted the tablet in response.
Number One possesses absolute authority, even when facing the same savior...
……
……
"Sir, are you sure we don't need to send someone?"
A young man in military uniform turned off his communication device, his expression slightly hesitant.
"Number Seven only took office a few hours ago; he's just an ordinary person who hasn't grasped the characteristics of the media..."
At this moment, countless light screens floated in mid-air inside the white room.
Military personnel are constantly manipulating the light screen.
At the very front of all the people sat an elderly man.
The old man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, looked sternly at the middle-aged man beside him and said:
"Ignore him, just order the club to strictly implement his ideas."
"Unless he can resolve 10% of the spirits in a day, there is simply no time for him to grow. For now, just let him do whatever he wants."
"Yes, sir."
The middle-aged man nodded, then asked with some confusion:
"Number Seven possesses the same... precognitive abilities as you once did. Why not bring him up with you?"
"If he has this ability, wouldn't it be better for our operation?"
"hehe……"
The old man smiled faintly, stopped the documents he was reviewing, and looked at the light screen with his deep gaze.
There are all the biographical materials about Liu Bai there.
He looked at the documents for a while and said:
"But in the ending I saw, he didn't exist, and the real Number Seven was someone else entirely..."
"Someone else?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening:
"Then why did you still insist on making him seventh...?"
The old man did not answer the question; his aged expression seemed to be lost in memories.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke:
"Xia, if someone is reborn, is the world they live in still the same world they were in before?"
"this……"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:
"That's definitely not it."
"Reversing time would mean the universe would also reverse; how much energy would that require?"
"So at most, rebirth means going to a hypothetical parallel universe."
"What if it's just reversing the flow of one galaxy?" the old man countered.
"Milky Way……"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Theoretically, it's possible."
"The Milky Way is smaller than a grain of sand in the universe. In the eyes of some civilizations, the Milky Way may be as small as an ant."
"Humans cannot even leave the solar system at present... but there are billions of galaxies like the solar system in the Milky Way."
"So if you want to, there's a high probability you can do it!"
"Hehe, you go ahead and get busy. Whether it's precognition or rebirth, it's far beyond our comprehension."
The old man waved his hand, his gaze remaining fixed on the light screen ahead.
"But either way, it's a good thing for us right now!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xia immediately accepted the order and then respectfully withdrew.
He had no questions about why the old man was discussing the topic of rebirth.
Because Number One is a reborn individual!
They publicly claim it's about predicting the future!
After Xia left, the old man waved his hand gently, and the light screen in front of him immediately disappeared.
He slowly rose and walked towards the end of the room.
A minute later, a huge floor-to-ceiling window appeared before him.
Outside the window, silver and darkness mingled.
A giant star appeared in the old man's eyes.
The stars were emitting a bright, silvery light.
Its surface is pitted and uneven, with many natural pits.
However, what is puzzling is that a faint black shadow is attached to part of the star's surface, as if it were some kind of creature.
The old man didn't speak, but simply watched the moon draw ever closer...
