Chapter 197: Mountain of Corpses

Silence inside the car.

Yun Lin's heavy breathing sounded somewhat disordered.

"I didn't see anything..."

A clumsy lie.

Lin An pinched her head with one hand, his tone calm, as if narrating:

"My patience is limited."

"You've already wasted a lot of my time."

The piercing pain at the top of her head made Yun Lin let out a muffled groan.

For some reason, she was somewhat resistant to displaying information about her talent.

Lin An let out a light sigh upon seeing that.

"I know you're not afraid of death."

"But, think about your brother Yun Tian."

"Don't get him killed by your own stupidity; that would be meaningless."

"You saw it, so tell me."

Although A-rank talent users are rare, if they don't grow up, they're just like that.

If Yun Lin and Yun Tian don't cooperate, Lin An doesn't mind killing them.

It's better to turn someone who can't be used by oneself and harbors potential hatred into a corpse.

"A fearless holy mother—who knows what trouble she'll bring."

"Threatening her is useless; the only option is to use Yun Tian's life."

"The two characters 'Yun Tian' tugged at the girl's heartstrings; her expression wavered, but she ultimately displayed her talent."

"Time Reversal B-rank: You can consume mental power to view the target's past experiences, or the future."

"1. Reversal: Consume a small amount of mental power to observe the target's past, prioritizing key scenes or vivid images during observation. (Cannot specify a time period)"

"2. Premonition: Observe the target's future, consuming a large amount of mental power per second during observation. The image fragments are random. (Cannot specify a time period)"

The talent is brief and easy to understand.

After Lin An quickly glanced at it, his heart trembled slightly.

Although it's only B-rank, it has no attribute bonuses, no damage, no skills.

Just based on the time attribute, it's enough to make this talent precious.

To view the past and future?

Such a rare talent never appeared in the chat channel in my past life.

But that's normal to think about.

A talent with causality and time attributes, no one would reveal it.

"What power could be stronger than foreseeing the future?"

The talent's rating as B-rank is largely limited by several major conditions.

"First, mental power consumption; second, when premonitioning the future, one cannot choose specific times or images."

Furthermore, the talent offers no improvement to combat or personal strength.

"Even in a slaughter, one cannot observe the future and make a perfect response."

"After all, even if one luckily sees a crucial scene, if physical quality can't keep up, it's still the same death."

"Seeing in advance the scene of one's own death or serious injury, those with slightly weaker mentality will instead be affected."

"If one could freely observe a certain moment in the future, or specify a time when reversing."

"Even without damage skills, this talent could absolutely reach S-rank, rivaling Lin An's own talent."

Yun Lin took a deep breath, her expression wooden:

"I originally just wanted to see what would happen after joining you."

"So I used the premonition ability."

"You don't look like good people, so I'm not stupid enough to just want to join you without thinking."

"The future I see will change with my decisions."

"So I will directly agree to join, even saying I'll protect everyone with you."

"Once I make a decision, I can use the skill to see what you'll actually do."

"Although the images are random, they are still things that will happen in the future."

"Random images can also be used to infer many things."

"For example, if I see nothing and the screen is pitch black, that means I'm already dead in the future."

"If the image shows a military region and soldiers, that means we're very likely safe."

"Because I've repeatedly mentioned wanting to go to the Wangjiang Military Region."

"But none of the scenes I imagined have appeared."

Yun Lin paused for a moment, her body trembling, as if recalling the scene she had seen before:

"You examined my talent; you also know premonition cannot specify time, so I only saw some fragments."

"And I also don't know what..."

Lin An directly spoke up to interrupt:

"Get to the point, tell me what you saw."

Somewhat unexpected.

The young policewoman before him isn't too stupid either.

What sounded nonsensical before was actually a probe, increasing the effectiveness of skill use.

Lin An originally thought the young policewoman had seen his past, and he even once thought Yun Lin was using retrocognition.

He had just been thinking...

If he saw himself killing at the academy, or the scene of him killing at the hotel, it wouldn't matter much.

What's important is that Lin An has always felt that his memory is missing a piece.

Since returning from discharge, he often has flashbacks of some scenes.

The fragments are dim and yellow, like old-era footage.

The scenes are filled with gun smoke and ruined walls.

Human corpses fill the land.

Whenever the flashback ends, countless voices sound, both male and female.

They keep repeating, shouting a phrase:

"He is a demon!"

Lin An has thought about the meaning of this sentence, but he has never had a clue.

The only useful clue is 'demon'.

The word 'demon' is not commonly used by Huaxia people; rather, it is used in the West and Southeast Asia.

So when Yun Lin said the same words, Lin An felt as if pierced by icy cold.

After the Apocalypse of his Past Life broke out, he lacked the ability to investigate the secret behind it, but in this life, since a clue has appeared, he naturally will not let it go.

After being interrupted by him, Yun Lin seemed to reorganize her words, trying to depict what she had seen.

"I saw..."

"A black mountain."

"A mountain piled with human corpses."

"You stand on the summit, as if searching for something."

"In the vision, you keep repeating two phrases:"

"Not this..."

"This..."

"Not this either!"
