Chapter 679: What exactly triggered the

What exactly triggered the "discrepancy" of 【Time】?

The road to the mine warehouse was short, but in this limited time of being alone, the content of Cheng Shi's thinking was unusually large.

Every step he took, he was combing through what he had seen and heard in the whole trial. The various details he had ignored before became clear again under his efforts to recall.

When did Li Wu start to change?

If all the small differences are regarded as signals of the appearance of "discrepancies," then undoubtedly, before the first concentrated discussion, the trial should have already appeared abnormal.

And the "abnormality" he first "witnessed" wasn't the investigator Li Wu, but that believer of 【Truth】, Dr. Assassination Wang Weijin!

Wang Mou deliberately concealed his identity at the beginning, but exposed himself without care when the Extinguisher created the disaster of annihilation, and even frankly stated his name after this.

Originally, this change in attitude before and after seemed suspicious to Cheng Shi, but it could also be explained as a change in the other party's mentality. But now it seems that things don't seem to be that simple.

Perhaps, before that disaster of annihilation, Wang Mou had already stepped into the trap of 【Time】 and became another "Wang Mou" who didn't belong to this timeline.

Li Wu is also the same. At the beginning of the trial, he was still seeking the guidance of 【Fate】 from the blind woman, but in the first concentrated discussion, he said things like "I don't believe in fate." This clearly is no longer the same person.

Judging only from the abnormalities of the two of them, the first abnormality of 【Time】 seems to have appeared in the first few hours of the trial.

Not bad, the first time!

Because Cheng Shi remembers that Qin Xin's change only appeared after exploring the shantytown, so the "discrepancy" of 【Time】 is very likely to have appeared twice, or even more than twice!

After all, he is now not sure how many "discrepancies" the teammates he saw were spawned after. And for this point, the most powerful evidence is Li Wu's change in attitude. Cheng Shi confirmed that he had encountered at least three "different" versions of Li Wu.

And this means that once a player steps into the trap of 【Time】, he may be constantly affected by "discrepancies" and constantly change his identity.

So what exactly affected them, and how did they crash into the trap? This is the most critical question. Only by finding this reason can we clarify all the truths that happened in this trial of 【Time】.

Also, Qin Xin...... is he really no longer the original Qin Xin?

Then the blind woman he wants to find—who dares to assert that she has never changed?

Cheng Shi's brow furrowed tighter and tighter. He wasn't simply worried about the safety of the fire-spreaders; he was considering himself more.

If the trap of 【Time】 had already been laid, and the "discrepancies" of the trial had already begun to happen to the players, then...... what about himself?

Is it possible that he has also been hit?

Even if Cheng Shi knows he is the favorite of 【Void】, he is not the favorite of 【Existence】. Since 【Time】 is increasing the difficulty, is it possible that this difficulty has been added to his own head?

Clearly, Li Wu, who became a "discrepancy," didn't realize at all that he or his teammates had problems. As an investigator known for his keen observation, if even he didn't realize the problem, it meant that the changes of 【Time】 almost wouldn't be noticed by players. All discrepancies appeared silently. So, who can guarantee that Cheng Shi hasn't changed?

No one can guarantee, and Cheng Shi can't either.

He can only guarantee that his consciousness and memory are coherent, and everything he experienced today has no gaps. However, once a "discrepancy" appears, the time and space of different timelines are disturbed and chaotic. As the one affected, apart from being able to guarantee that his external feelings haven't changed, he can't control anything else.

For example, if he really became a "discrepancy," it means the original him has been replaced, and the current self appears in another time and space as the one "abandoned by the original timeline."

In other words, Cheng Shi doesn't know if he is still on the timeline he should exist on, nor does he know whether the teammates he faces are because the "discrepancy" of 【Time】 "invaded" his timeline, or...... they exist on the current timeline, and he is the outsider!

And all of this needs to figure out where the trap of 【Time】 is and why the "discrepancy" of the trial happened before making inferences. And this is also what Cheng Shi fears most at the moment.

However, no matter how fear breeds and spreads in his heart, at least under the protection of the Gate Key, Cheng Shi can still restrain it.

Next, it depends on whether the blind woman is the straw he wants to find.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, his expression changed instantly, and he pushed open the warehouse door and walked in with a smile.

And in the warehouse where the two 【Foolish】 believers were experimenting, Qin Xin had long sensed Cheng Shi's approach. Why did he walk back slowly after clearly leaving not long ago?

Did he discover something? Or did he discover him?

The founder of this fire-spreader hooked a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He didn't make a sound, but continued to sit opposite the blind woman.

An Mingyu had a faint sorrow on her face at this time, her brow slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. The reason she made such an expression was naturally because just now, just after Cheng Shi left, she and Qin Xin had an "exchange of memories" unique to the fire-spreaders.

Time went back a little. The moment Cheng Shi and Li Wu closed the warehouse door, "watching" Wang Mou, who was seriously observing the experiment, the blind woman turned slightly to the side, turning toward Qin Xin beside her.

Her tightly closed eyes clearly couldn't see anything, but they seemed to radiate some kind of mysterious brilliance, making Qin Xin feel uncomfortable.

However, Qin Xin didn't respond. He just stood with his arms crossed, extremely quiet.

After a long time, the blind woman sighed and said softly: "Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Qin Xin shook his head with a smile: "Should I have?"

"Hmm, I know." The blind woman also laughed, "Xinxin told me that the best way to break the silence is to force people to submit. I don't know if our teammates can hear what I'm saying now, but I have to remind you, if you don't want to tell me something, then the next sentence, I will tell our identities."

Qin Xin was stunned, and smiled with a confused expression: "Are you serious?"

"Fire-spreader, you and I, are both fire-spreaders."

"......"

When the blind woman's words fell, she looked down at Qin Xin's hand, and at some point, that strong hand was already holding a white jawbone that had been rubbed smooth.

"You...... are more lively than I expected."

"You are more silent than I imagined." ===== CHAPTER 680 =====
