Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1574 Qiao Yuan Temple

...After the words died down, Yingshui Bank hadn't moved for a long time.

He was lying on the edge of the bathtub, with one arm hanging down in the bathtub, his head crookedly resting on his arm.That messy black hair, at this moment, I found that it was originally stained with blood, and under the incandescent lamp, there were strands of wet and curly dark light.

Qiao Yuansi stared blankly at his drooping eyelashes, waiting for the next twitch.While waiting, his narration was replayed over and over again in her mind—she was still subconsciously trying to digest the content.

It's hard to imagine that Yingshui'an only left for a short ten days, but did so many things and traveled to so many places—but when he told it, it was like telling someone else's story, with a steady and calm tone. He speaks clearly, and if he closes his eyes and ignores the smell of blood, it sounds almost unharmed.

On the contrary, it was his sinking body.

His body felt like a piece of solid ice, falling towards the dark and deep seabed, gradually becoming heavy, silent, and hard, and less and less like a living person.Only the occasional flutter of eyelashes can remind people that this is not a white plaster statue.

"...It's ridiculous for me to be like this. I lost my life and didn't save you." After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and said, "Even if I know you're not here, I still have to crawl back to die."

Before falling into complete silence, he finally laughed hoarsely: "I don't know if many years later...you will still think of me."

After this sentence, Qiao Yuansi waited for a full 10 minutes, but never waited for a word or a trembling of his eyelashes.

She raised her hand, hesitated a few times, and finally landed on Yingshui'an's cheek.It's very cold, I don't know if it's because of the temperature lost by the night and the tiles, or - or some other reason.

The corners of his lips were slightly blue and white, and they rustled slightly when his fingers stroked them. If there is still tomorrow, there should be stubble here.

Qiao Yuansi called out in a low voice: "Sakura... Sakura water bank?"

As soon as the name was uttered, it was hung in the dead and frozen air, pressing on the nerves of people's ears for a long time.She lowered her head and ears to wait for his response, but there was no sound of breath.

Even the outside was eerily silent.Maybe something went wrong with Ying Shui An's actions, and she was the only one left in this world.

"Are you still alive?" she asked.

"Can you hear me?"

"I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat at home?"

"Hey?"

Passed out.

Qiao Yuansi supported the other side of the bathtub and slowly climbed out of it.She was physically weak, and she had to be careful not to touch the shore of the cherry water lying on the bathtub, so a simple movement of climbing over the bathtub made her gasp heavily for a while.

She leaned on the wall and wanted to walk out of the bathroom step by step, but she stepped on the cold and slippery blood-red tiles with her bare feet. In a pool of blood.

Qiao Yuansi wiped his face with his blood-stained hands, and when he got up again, a blood-stained face was reflected in the bathroom mirror, as if he had been infected again.The pain is not very painful, but I haven't eaten and I feel a little cold.

The door of the living room was kept open, and the cold night wind made the house feel like an ice cellar.The blood on the floor outside was nearly dry, deep purple and black soaking through the wood grain.

She managed to move into the kitchen.There was half a box of expired biscuits in the cabinet, and she ate all the crumbs.He hadn't eaten for several days, and as soon as his stomach came into contact with food, he felt a heavy cramping pain; Qiao Yuansi sat silently on the ground for a while, and stood up again when the pain passed and his strength recovered a little.

...It's ridiculous.

She walked into the living room barefoot and thought numbly.From the beginning to the end, Yingshui'an was alone in his head, talking to himself to save her, even if she didn't need to be rescued at all.He left alone, and then came back before he died, thinking to himself that he had failed-this is too ridiculous.

In his narration, he returned to the small town of Gide and spent seven or eight days finding out "Patient Zero".That was the first person in the world to complete the whole process of transformation, and he is still alive and well.Then, following the clues he got, he traded his life for something he didn't need at all.

When passing the bathroom, Qiao Yuansi stopped, thought for a while, and went in again.

She knew that she should call the police right now, ask someone to drag Ying Shui An away, and then call the school to find a way to keep her job...

However, those things can be done later.

Just treat it as coaxing him, and do as he wants...Anyway, she has nothing to lose.

Qiao Yuansi approached the bank of Yingshui, and gently raised his hand that was hanging in the bathtub.That hand was frighteningly white, and the knuckles were so cold that it was starting to stiffen; she tried a few times before finally taking the silver ring off his index finger.

After she walked into the living room, she glanced back at the bathroom.

Amidst the "humming" of the incandescent lamp, the bathroom was washed pale with snow, except for a black-clothed, black-haired, motionless man lying heavily on the bathtub.The skin exposed from his neckline and under his black hair was so white that it almost merged with the bathtub and the white walls; Colors: snow white, pitch black, and blood red.

Qiao Yuansi had that unexplainable feeling again.

She feels that she wants to do three things at the same time: one is to call the police and return to normal life; the other is to go into the kitchen and stab the knife into her belly; silver ring.

The first option was in no rush, and the second option confused her so much that she ended up doing only the third.

After all, she was not an evolutionary, and she hadn't mastered the details of use. A bunch of various things fell from Qiao Yuansi's hands in a "crash", hitting the ground with ping-pong-pong, and almost hurt her toes.There was a gun inside, luckily it didn't go off when it fell.

She stuck the gun in her back waist, knelt on the floor, and searched for it according to Ying Shui'an's description.

[Time Back] It looks like a digital roulette removed from an old-fashioned telephone, and it also comes with an instruction manual written by someone who doesn't know. Judging from the yellowed piece of paper, it seems to have existed for a long time.

"...can it be used by calling 888-9242-000?"

It seems that there is no need to turn the numbers one by one, but Qiao Yuansi was afraid of making a mistake, so he read the instructions twice, and decided to turn the string of numbers one by one later.

Using this item, can you really go back to any point in time in the past?

Amazing.

Qiao Yuansi walked to the front of the car, only then remembered that he was not wearing shoes.She didn't intend to go back to put on her shoes either, she stepped on the concrete floor barefoot, bent down and glanced into the back seat of the car.

As of this moment, Patient Zero is still alive—alive, but bound tightly from top to bottom, lying in the backseat of her car with her eyes closed, temporarily unconscious.

Qiao Yuansi opened the car door, dragged the man out, and let him fall to the ground with a "gudong"; the head of "Patient Zero" bounced on the ground a few times, just like the effect of a cartoon.

There was a light in a nearby room, and a shadow came up from behind the curtain, looking in her direction quietly - Qiao Yuansi knew that it was a neighbor, and didn't take it to heart at all.

"The user can pick a target person (it can be someone else or himself), and use the person's timeline as a benchmark to go back to a certain point in time in the past. The duration is only 1 minute."

In the instructions for use, it is written like this: "It should be noted that if the time baseline belongs to someone else, the user must grasp the target person in order to return to his past time point with him. This also requires that the user At that time, the props must be at least in the same world as the target character to make them effective. Otherwise, the user will return to the world he was in at that time during that 1 minute, wasting this precious 1 minute."

That's why.

She already knew what Yingshui'an wanted to do. If she killed patient zero, everything would return to the original state.But Sakura Mizugan couldn't go back to the time before the end of the world to make changes - because he wasn't in this world at all at that time.

He said that he had risked his life to get the item, but because of a small discrepancy, he couldn't use it, and he apologized to her for "being teased by fate"... Yingshui An is so stupid.

He was indeed not in this world at that time, but she was.

Isn't it too ridiculous to dig her out like that.

Before dialing the number, Qiao Yuansi looked at the face of "Patient Zero".It turned out that the source of everything was an ordinary middle-aged man who looked like this.

She grabbed the shoulder of "Patient Zero" and dialed the numbers one by one.There was a fluttering sound in the night sky, but she didn't look up; the bird was very annoying, and she was used to it coming every now and then.

[Time Backtracking] It really worked.Night recedes into day, day recedes into night, the scenery turns and changes, the world is like a wheel that has been dialed back, Qiao Yuansi realizes almost numbly that his vision has soon become blurred.

She imagined that in her own home, Ying Shui'an stood up again, the blood returned to his body, and he returned to another world, where he didn't know who Qiao Yuansi was.

After the world returns to its original state, the end will become as if it never happened.All the evolutionaries who came here because of the doomsday will naturally not come; the living and will continue to live Yingshui An, and the one in the bathroom, have since become two reality and memory of parallel lines.

And she and Patient Zero are like hamsters in a spinning wheel who stay put no matter how much they run. When the wheel stops, they are still together.

The selected time point was before patient No. [-] was deformed, so [Time Backtracking] brought Qiao Yuansi to the place where he was a year ago—the rope on the man’s body disappeared, and his consciousness recovered. Hanging up the phone by the table, he raised his head.This appears to be his office, with a world map on the wall.

Only one minute, she thought.

"Who are you?" The man was taken aback, and asked loudly, his face twisted slightly.

Really, I really don't know why I would do such a thing.

Qiao Yuansi raised the muzzle of his gun and sent the bullet into his forehead.

　It seems that you are all worried that I will continue to dolls, right... In fact, the opposite is true, the bottom layer of nesting dolls is over.In addition, back in time, this item appeared before, in Chapter 11** (I forgot the specific number), and the title is "This Man ***" (I also forgot the specific text).

The goldfish brain is also a day when the scales are shining.
