Chapter 584

Ning Chen nodded, very satisfied with this clean and decisive answer.

That was it.

Ning Chen did not reply to Tang Xin's message again, and Tang Xin, knowing the situation, said nothing.

After achieving the goal he wanted to achieve.

Ning Chen turned off his phone.

Then, he thought of the next target.

If one were to analyze the second important message.

What conclusion would be drawn?

Ning Chen thought carefully, then looked at that passage in the system.

【From the moment the Death Bell rings, look back into the past.】

【Before the gates of the Diyuzhi Sect close, seize everything.】

"What information is hidden in here, exactly?" Ning Chen looked at the passage, then quickly found paper and pen in the vehicle and copied the passage down.

"My intuition tells me that something important regarding Si Shiya is definitely hidden in here!"

Ning Chen picked up the entire sheet of paper.

He looked at the paper through the sunlight.

Every character on it revealed abnormal information.

"Why does this feel like reading a novel?"

Ning Chen placed the paper back on the table, then prepared to piece it together and analyze it carefully.

"First, let's analyze step by step, starting with this Death Bell!"

Ning Chen looked at the information above, and his mind raced with thought.

"Since it relates to Si Shiya, this death must be Si Shiya's death, and this Death Bell must refer to the moment of Si Shiya's death; the moment the bell rings is the moment Si Shiya dies."

"Hmm, this deduction should have no problems; if it referred to someone else, the possibility is too small to count." Ning Chen stroked his chin and analyzed.

"Then, what does 'look back into the past' refer to?"

This question.

Ning Chen thought for a long time but could never arrive at an answer.

If he followed his own thoughts to make wild deductions or force a fit, the information obtained would be completely useless.

Bubbles of thought rose one by one in Ning Chen's mind, then were shattered by collision just before touching the massive stone named "Truth."

He began to feel a bit anxious, stood up, and paced back and forth inside the motorhome.

Every idea he imagined was then constantly overturned.

Just as.

Every step he took was wrong, rather than moving toward the true direction.

"Look back into the past, look back into the past, look back into the past." Ning Chen kept muttering this sentence, as if he had gone mad.

Quickly.

He shook his head.

"Maybe I should just let Zhao Mengmeng reason it out; she found the clue about the urn last time, so she must have some talent."

Ning Chen had this thought, but quickly cast it aside.

Suddenly.

A bubble of thought rose from his mind, then climbed rapidly and continuously; it watched every bubble companion crash into that massive stone of thought-truth and then shatter with a "Bang."

It seemed like joy, it seemed like crying.

This miraculous bubble of thought bypassed the massive stone of Truth and flew toward another direction.

In the end, it did not explode, but instead seemed to merge into water.

It became gentle, and clear and translucent.

An idea instantly arose in Ning Chen's mind.

Like lightning, it pierced through his entire mind.

"Look back into the past!" Ning Chen suddenly shouted, then immediately began analyzing rapidly, "If we speak from the perspective of the world, it would be about space-time, but that sounds utterly absurd; even the system should not be able to do such a thing."

"In that case, wouldn't it become a time-travel drama? No matter how I think about it, it's impossible."

"But what if we imagine it from a different angle?"

"For example, what if 'look back into the past' actually refers to some details that occurred at that time?"

"Did something happen at the instant of Si Shiya's death that triggered this 'look back into the past'?" Ning Chen's train of thought suddenly broadened greatly.

He stopped pacing back and forth, quickly sat on the sofa, looked at the information above, and murmured in a voice only he could hear, "'Look back into the past' must refer to something else; it could also mean returning to the crime scene of Si Shiya; in that case, we might very well find something useful."

"In that case, what the Death Bell refers to must be the gunshot; at the place where Si Shiya died, firing a gun—what kind of thing would happen?"

Ning Chen suddenly thought of this possibility.

Although he still felt a bit confused, at this stage, he could only make such a deduction.

"Good, the first sentence has now reached a conclusion."

Ning Chen turned his gaze to the passage below.

【Before the gates of the Diyuzhi Sect close, seize everything.】

"This sentence is much easier to explain than the one above!" Ning Chen quickly revealed an expression of sudden realization.

"This 'gates of the Diyuzhi Sect' must refer to a period of time after Si Shiya's death; 'before the gates close' indicates urgency and the need to handle Si Shiya's affairs as soon as possible; moreover, if these gates close, irreversible consequences might occur." Ning Chen nodded repeatedly.

"'Seize everything' is even simpler and clearer; before the gates close, many important things can be obtained; among these, if we dare to speculate, it very likely includes Si Shiya."

"Otherwise, the 'rebirth' in the first important message would be unknown in what it indicates."

Ning Chen let out a long sigh. "Regardless, it can almost be confirmed now that Si Shiya is still alive, and she is currently in a dangerous situation. At the very least, I must rush to save her."

"The first clue now is to return to the place where Si Shiya met her misfortune, and I already possess the Death Bell." As he spoke, Ning Chen turned his gaze to the mercenary's black weapon bag.

Inside lay a sniper rifle.

This deduction is reasonable; there is no problem with it.

"Although the time limit is a bit tight, I will definitely go and kill Kang Luo." Ning Chen's gaze gradually turned cold again. "The Gulf family must not be let off."

Ning Chen tore up the paper on which he had just written the information and casually tossed it into the trash can.

Since the clue has been obtained, it is enough to handle the matter as soon as possible.

Rather than wandering around aimlessly as before.

Time is tight, and the task is heavy.

431. The Intermediary

Ning Chen must seize the time.

Otherwise...

If it reaches the final step.

And some matters are delayed, in that case...

By then, it will very likely be too late to regret.

Miracles will not appear again.

Just like the content on the important message the system just gave.

Rewind to the past.

That is impossible to achieve.

Ning Chen turned his gaze again to the system in his mind.

Why exactly did this system trigger the matter concerning Si Shiya?

After all.

When Ning Chen transmigrated to this world and obtained the system.

He did not yet know Si Shiya.

If that is the case.

Could it be that Si Shiya's death caused his spirit and emotions to reach a new peak, which subsequently created the possibility for the system to change?

Regarding this point, Ning Chen does not have a very clear understanding.

It is as if.

It naturally became this way.
