Chapter 1307: then translation of title

One hundred meters..

Seventy meters...

Frantically dodging the attacks from behind, as the distance grew closer, Lin An couldn't help but become somewhat solemn.

He had never tried using the Causal Sequence to reverse a specific bodily tissue back to the past on its own, and he had hardly ever used the Causal Sequence on anything other than himself.

After all, using reversal on a target other than oneself consumes far too much.

With his strength restricted, he could only get as close to Zhang Tie as possible to reduce consumption.

"Should be fine.."

"Reversing the brain's structure is essentially the same as removing brain tissue.."

"In the real world, ordinary people don't die even if part of their brain is removed, let alone my merely reversing neurons back to their previous state."

"I just don't know whether memory will also disappear."

When it comes to the most mysterious organ, the brain, aside from being certain this is the breakthrough idea, Lin An also isn't sure what will happen after the reversal.

Biologically speaking, memory resides in the brain's neural synapses. For each added memory, the neural tissue in the brain grows new synapses and stores it via bioelectric signals.

Once reversed, it equals excision!

Will the Second Will be affected?

Will he also forget this matter?

After all, the two share one body...

If that's the case...

Then...

Wait!!

Lin An's heart jumped violently; in an instant, he suddenly understood the true reason why the Second Will had abruptly surfaced at this moment.

It wasn't what he had thought before; the Second Will was merely trying to stop him!

No! The Second Will has no other option! It can only come out and take a gamble, betting that by deliberately giving misleading information, Lin An won't think to use the Causal Sequence! The Second Will doesn't want to lose the memory of this instance!

"If the Second Will's memory also disappears, that means he will forget everything that happened in this instance!"

"That is to say, after being schemed against by Chu An, he doesn't even know how he was schemed against! Moreover, he doesn't know what changes have happened to me!"

"With the same trick, he'll keep falling for it! Because he simply doesn't remember this matter!"

"This is an outright open scheme!"

"Coming out is useless, not coming out is also useless! Coming out will make him forget, not coming out will also make him forget!"

"But if he comes out, at least he can still gamble! Yet if he comes out, it will also speed up my figuring out a breakthrough!"

"Damn it..."

Even though Lin An is as calm as possible now, after he fully works out the logic of the whole matter, he still can't help but curse quietly in his heart.

Too disgusting...

If he were the Second Will, given being schemed against by Chu An like this, his mindset would probably collapse.

"I was able to think of using the Causal Sequence to break through so quickly, essentially I have to \"thank\" the Second Will for being forced to give the misleading information.."

"He could actually help me become immune to rule attacks while hiding himself, so I wouldn't think of the real reason..."

"But... he also knows he might not be able to keep it hidden for long; I will eventually think of this."

"So, his first goal isn't to stop me from leaving, but to make me unable to think of using the Causal Sequence to erase his memory!?"

"But if we reverse-engineer this logic..."

"Actually, there might be a second way to break through? Could one exit without using the Causal Sequence? Under the Second Will's misdirection, I might actually think of another approach? To exit while retaining memory?"

"If it didn't succeed, is it because the Second Will was greedy? Or perhaps he couldn't find the optimal solution in a short time, so he could only first give misdirection and then speak?"

The logic is very convoluted, with many problems.

With the logics of three people coexisting, the possibilities are truly too many...

Lin An lightly exhaled a breath, and no longer bothered to think about what exactly was going on.

It doesn't matter anymore; as long as he can get out, at least he can be certain that using the Causal Sequence is the correct choice.

In fact, he was able to think of this purely because the Second Will's intention to mislead him was too obvious.

"The Second Will suddenly popped up, directly telling me that if I don't hide now I'll die, implying I must let him control my body to flee."

"So it's obvious that the means to break through must necessarily be something I will definitely use while continuing to control my body."

"I will get injured, I will discover that my Eternal Body will be drained dry. To survive, I will inevitably think of using the Causal Sequence to reverse my state, trying to hold on a bit longer."

"In that case, even if I think of nothing at all, even if I haven't figured out the rules, I will instantly leave the instance..."

"Solving the deadlock, even if I were swapped with Zhang Tie, the effect would be the same..."

"So.... Chu An will say this instance is simple to the point of being unable to be simpler..."

"Precisely for this reason, the Second Will can only choose to \"explicitly\" tell me the rules, making me focus all my thoughts on the rules rather than on what I can use."

"This is his only way to mislead me..."

"If I keep fleeing, I naturally won't use the Causal Sequence either, and my thinking will go wrong.... Dragging it out until the end, if I can hold out until the moment Long An encounters trouble, perhaps my faith will waver and the Second Will will seize the opportunity to swallow me whole..."

Looking back at the whole affair, Lin An finds that actually all the logic is clear and distinct.

But to think it all through clearly, he needs to simultaneously put himself into the mindsets of the three people, enumerating every possibility...

The only thing that still leaves him somewhat doubtful is...

Why didn't Chu An, before entering, ask him to hand over the Causal Sequence to Xiong Hanzi?

He couldn't have known about the Causal Sequence in advance, but Zhang Tie could.

Just like that letter before, in the Amoeba Worm instance, Chu An had handed the key to breaking through to Zhang Tie, although that clueless bear never figured out what actually happened in the end...

However, the result is the same.

Just look at Xiong Hanzi's current state and you'll know. This guy directly relies on having died once to become immune to rule attacks; after dragging it out a bit longer, he estimates he'll be able to come over panting to find him, then activate Causal Sequence to end all this.

"Is it because Chu An also doesn't know the specifics of the instance, and merely made some arrangements?"

"Or is it that that guy has been hiding inside Xiong Hanzi's body and will jump out himself later?"

Lin An instinctively looked at Zhang Tie's eyes, which were about to go mad at this moment; in those panicked eyes, he always felt as if there were another pair of eyes.

"Lin Dui! Danger!!"

"Don't come over!!"

Unable to understand why Lin An had rushed over, Xiong Hanzi, who was being dragged and unable to move at this moment, turned deathly pale.

"Lin Dui doesn't have two lives!"

Especially when Lin An is obviously about to collapse, coming over is just waiting to die!?

However, before he could desperately struggle, roaring to try to shake off the monster pressing on him,

In an instant, a clear, cold low shout that had accompanied him all his life, along with a burst of silver light, suddenly exploded before his eyes.

"Causal Sequence!"

"Reversal!"

A few seconds later, with the sound of a cold mechanical tone, tens of thousands of 'infected' intelligences instantly stopped, motionless.

At the same time, the girl who had been closely chasing behind Lin An now stood there like a machine that had lost power, dazed.

She slightly opened her mouth, mouth full of blood, just like a broken doll, tilting her head to look at the place where Lin An had disappeared.

That open yet empty embrace was as lonely as having lost a beloved toy.

"Beep, the instance ends; this session's collected data will be stored in the file, awaiting the next opening..."
