Chapter 75: The Flaw of Seeking Death

"Is our operation over?"

When Su Weiyu rushed back to the Control Bureau, Xia Shou was writing down the clues on the whiteboard in the office.

"The preliminary investigation is over. Doesn't it feel unreal?" Xia Shou joked.

"Well, it feels like I didn't do anything. Did I succeed in sneaking into the Blood Mother Cult's headquarters?"

"No, you tried the secret code and spell you peeked at, but failed to trigger the sarcophagus ritual. I guess there are other means of identification in this ritual. The secret code and spell alone are not enough."

Su Weiyu sighed regretfully and said, "There's no way to do it with conventional means. We can only follow them in when they open the passage."

Xia Shou pondered, "But after you go in, your contact with me will most likely be cut off, and after you go back, you will forget everything, so this is a completely meaningless act."

"Or... I'll just go in directly? You don't want to commit suicide." Su Weiyu suggested.

Xia Shou waved his hand and refused decisively: "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Not all the people in the Blood Mother Cult are human. A cult like theirs might raise some monsters. We still have to investigate first."

"What should I do?"

"Hmm... let me think... let's check the forbidden items file of the Ettingburg Control Bureau later to see if there is any forbidden item that can connect the lives of two people together, so that if you die, I will die too.

As long as the time of death is the same, at least the worst case scenario can be avoided.

Then we can look for any forbidden objects that can be used for ultra-long-distance communication, preferably something that can be used to communicate with each other across different spaces." Xia Shou said.

Su Weiyu's eyes lit up, and she was shocked: "That makes sense! Why didn't I think of such a simple method? I'll go to the self-service archive machine to check it now."

She stood up to leave, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and then asked: "By the way, Xia Shou, how is the situation over there? Have you encountered the most troublesome enemy?"

"Well...it's a little tricky." Xia Shou felt a headache when he thought of the black jacket.

It’s not that he couldn’t do anything with the black jacket. If he really wanted to kill those three people, once the Peak was opened, those three people would be dead.

Even a super-dangerous anomaly like the Blood Demon was killed by Xia Shou under pressure within a minute. The three people in the bar were not even qualified to be his opponents.

But the problem is, the price of reaching the pinnacle is too high. Even if he kills those three people, he still has to deal with the real big boss upstairs. Does he have to reach the pinnacle twice in a row?
His current depth is already very dangerous. Even if he reaches the peak once, he may sink to 1300 meters, let alone twice.

"Since we're just testing it next time, how about just telling the Control Bureau about [Self-Destruction]? Then when we come back, they won't remember anything.

If you don't want this, maybe you can find a way to let Baihe help you." Su Weiyu suggested.

Xia Shou frowned, weighed the options for a long time, and finally shook his head.

“I thought about the strategy you mentioned at the beginning, but I didn’t adopt it in the end.

Because seeking one's own death is not a time reversal in the absolute sense, at least it has no effect on my state in the Sea of ​​Origin. The diving value used up during the exploration will not be restored after the reversal.

In the final analysis, Seeking Death is a skill that was only acquired by devouring a special sealed creature. It can reverse the time and memory of the entire world at the physical level, which is already amazing. It is impossible to interfere with the extraordinary source of the Sea of ​​Origin.

Although Seeking Death is useful, it is not strong enough to surpass all supernatural powers.

In addition, if I am not mistaken, the depth of other patients with Abyss Syndrome should not be affected by the retrospective of self-destruction. "

"What do you mean?" Su Weiyu asked in confusion.

“That is to say, for other people who can enter the Sea of ​​Origin like me, although their reality and memories will be affected by their own death, their status in the Sea of ​​Origin will not change.

So in the eyes of other patients with abyssal dysphoria, their depth will suddenly sink a certain distance for no reason.

This could be considered a self-destructive flaw. Although no one would guess that it was related to 'time reversal', if they knew about it, they might find a way to leave a message in the Sea of ​​Origin.

For the sake of caution, it is best to keep this skill secret, and only you and I know about it."

Su Weiyu nodded as if she understood something. "This skill is similar to my physique. My physique of 'cannot be seen' is the same. For some reason, its priority is ridiculously high, even though my own abnormal level is very low."

"But it's not a big problem now! Even without the help of the Control Bureau, I can rely on you to steal the forbidden objects to improve my combat effectiveness. It won't be too difficult to kill that guy. Now, we should go look through the forbidden object files and see if there is anything we can use."

"Well, let's start right away!" Su Weiyu nodded and clenched her fists.

Although I don’t know the reason, my previously anxious mood has slowly calmed down.

As long as Xia is here, and just take one step at a time, Mom and Dad and A Yue will be fine!
……

……

In the country of Fuso, in Tongzi County, there is the first-class Taoist temple of Tianxin God.

Today is Sunday, the day when Tianxinshenyilu is closed, and the nearly 100-square-meter dojo is empty.

Kanae Angang was wearing a Noh mask and sitting next to an open paper sliding door. In front of her was a dry landscape garden made up of dead trees, rockery stones and white gravel.

The neatly stacked stones form a miniature garden landscape, and the lines drawn on the white sand replace the ripples of water. Monks and ascetics in Fuso generally believe that this kind of desolate and unchanging landscape is conducive to inner meditation.

Kanae slowly opened her eyes behind the mask, then took off the mask, turned and walked into the dojo, opened a side door, and walked into the dark room.

She walked along the long, narrow path and came to a door blocked by a wooden grille. She knelt down, lowered her body, and put her forehead close to the ground.

"Grandpa, I dreamed again that I suddenly sank in the sea. It was only for a moment that I went one meter deeper."

Behind the wooden grille door, there were layers of fluttering white gauze. Through the gauze, one could see a huge figure sitting cross-legged on a low platform. Then a hoarse and low old voice floated through the white gauze and into Kanae's ears.

"How many times has this happened?"

"It seems... it's the second time."

"It was the owner of the Black Jade Division who was boating on the River of Time, and the wheel started spinning again... After ten years, does the Black Jade Division have a new owner?"

"Grandpa, I don't understand what you mean."

"Kanae, what meter are you at now?"

"About two hundred meters."

"Then you don't have to pay attention to these changes, just like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, it is the common sense of the world.

Kanae, don't worry about the good and bad of this. You have to climb through the canyon of Thirst's Teeth, sink into the sea of ​​endless bleeding, pass through the mysterious door, and then you can see the gate of Moyusi in the sea that is one thousand five hundred feet deep.

If you arrive there and are fortunate enough to meet the master of the Black Jade Division, you will be able to see your mother."

Kanae frowned secretly. He didn't know whether his grandfather was sane now.

When grandpa was meditating, it was hard to tell whether he was awake or not.

When he was meditating, he always repeated the obscure descriptions in the secret scrolls and books. Sometimes what he said was contradictory, and he would forget it after waking up, which made Kanae feel very scared.

But on the other hand, Kanae had to admit that her grandfather was the guardian of this family.

For a family like An Gang's that is cursed with the Qianyuan genetic disease, if it weren't for Grandpa, the family would certainly not have been able to continue to this day.

Kanae kept bowing and waited for a while. Finally, she decided to leave and tell the story again at another time.

"Grandpa, Kanae is leaving now." Kanae bowed again.

The huge figure behind the wooden fence and white gauze did not respond at all, and the silent and motionless outline was like a ghostly Buddha.

Kanae hunched her body and slowly backed away, then she turned around and quickly disappeared into the dim narrow passage.
