Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 919 The Prophecy of Sharo
"Find me?"

“Yes, I saw the impending catastrophe, so I came to tell you everything I saw, hoping that perhaps it could still be stopped,” Sharo said.

The Control Bureau has not yet made the current state of the Heart of the Rending King public, but Sharo has already foreseen it, which gives Xia Shou even more confidence in Sharo's divination skills.

"However... this time I'm not entirely sure about the conclusion of my divination, because there are some things I can't understand. The state of the sand table indicates that the key figure who can stop this destruction will appear fifty years from now."

However, the divination indicated that this destruction should occur within a year, and would happen very soon, which is contradictory.

After saying that, even Sharo himself felt that it was a bit absurd, and explained embarrassedly: "I know that the result of this divination is strange, but this time my feeling is particularly strong."

I have never touched upon those specific concepts so clearly before.

Destruction, fifty years, prevention... Information that I used to have to understand and speculate about was presented to me with absolute certainty, as real as an illusion.

This divination is so unusual that I rushed here. I want to confirm whether a crisis worthy of being described as destructive has already occurred.

"The situation is indeed not good. It doesn't make sense for someone from fifty years in the future to stop a disaster that will happen a year from now." Xia Shou stroked his chin, lost in thought.

However, the keyword "fifty years" reminded Xia Shou of the story "The Withered Eyes of the Centipede".

Using the eyes of the story centipede, you can replace the present with what you see ten years from now, for a period of ten minutes.

However, this sealed item can only be used once on the same target, so it is impossible to exchange it for things from fifty years in the future.

Unless... the damaged eye undergoes some evolution and completion, making its extraordinary power even stronger, it might be possible to replace things from the more distant future with things from the present.

This is not entirely baseless speculation, after all, the name of this sealed item is "Broken Eye". Since it is in a broken state, it must also have a complete state.

Just as Xia Shou was pondering this possibility, Bai He, who was busy nearby, suddenly interjected:

"Could it be a cyclical history? For example, the world we live in now might really be a cyclical history, and the real present world is fifty years from now. The crisis we are facing this time needs to be stopped by people in the future."

"Is that possible? Things that have already happened in history shouldn't change without external interference, right? Even if we really are in a cycle of history, Shaluo couldn't possibly have derived such a hexagram, because when that hexagram was created, we certainly hadn't become part of the cycle of history yet," Xia Shou retorted.

Baihe nodded: "That's right, but that's on the premise that Miss Sara is a person in our cycle of history. But what if she isn't?"

Xia Shou cast a questioning glance at her, and Sha Luo tilted her head toward Bai He's location, asking in confusion, "Why do you say that? Do you doubt me?"

"No, even if the era we live in is truly the past, and Miss Sara is indeed from the future, it's impossible for her to expose herself."

What I mean is that there is another, more extreme possibility.

Xia, do you still remember Zhang Heping?

"remember."

"Zhang Heping was a semi-old historical resident born in that era, but because he grew up in the Scar Era, he has a stronger sense of belonging to that era."

What if Miss Sara was the child of two modern people from the future? But Miss Sara grew up in this era and therefore was unaware of the existence of the future.

If that's the case, then even if we're living in a time loop, Miss Sara's divination was still just made, and all the clues were based on Miss Sara's self-perception. That's why the outcome is that people fifty years in the future will avert the catastrophe a year later.

Baihe paused for a moment, then pulled down his mask. "Of course, I was just giving a very extreme guess. I also think it's unlikely." "There's such a possibility? I never thought of that... Hmm? Xiao Gao, do you have any thoughts?" Xia Shou suddenly noticed Jiang Wengao's shocked expression.

He opened his mouth wide as if he had been greatly shocked, with an expression that was both enlightened and bewildered.

"Ah! No, no, I was just startled by Brother Bai's wild imagination." Jiang Wengao shook his head with an awkward laugh, then glanced at the ear embedded in the wall... that was his delusional hallucination.

To others, Sal's divination may seem mysterious and difficult to understand.

But for him, it was very clear, practically a direct instruction.

People fifty years from now!

Isn't this just implying that the player in this game is from fifty years in the future and has traveled to the present?

So, the person who can stop this disaster is himself?
Holy crap, don't joke like that!
Jiang Wengao rubbed his forehead and leaned against his desk, having lost all interest in going to work. His mind was filled with the prophecy that Shaluo had just spoken.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem if he were to become a savior, but the problem is that he currently has absolutely no clue or lead to stop this disaster.

Until now, he has always been Shou Ge's assistant, always obeying orders and following commands without ever using his own brain. Now, suddenly he is asked to come up with a plan to stop the world from being destroyed. How could he possibly come up with such a plan?

But if Sharo's prophecy is accurate and he really is the key to preventing the world's destruction, then the most crucial element must be the game "Kyoto Sinks," since fifty years have passed in the game and Earth is still a Möbius strip.

But there's absolutely no information about the Scar Age in the game.

Jiang Wengao's brows furrowed more and more; he didn't hear what the others behind him were saying.

After that, until noon, his mind was in a daze. A large amount of game information from his previous life kept sliding around on his cerebral cortex, but with such a massive amount of information, he couldn't find a single thread to save him.

Perhaps, if I go back to that room tonight, I'll get some inspiration.

……

……

At night, Jiang Wengao lay in bed and drifted off to sleep, entering a room exactly like his old study.

He sat down at his computer desk, opened the familiar game icon, and checked his various save files, looking at the collected images and CGs.

There's no clue, not a single clue.

He stared at it for a very long time, until his brain was exhausted, before finally exiting and returning to the main menu.

Just as he was about to quit the game, he caught sight of the closed beta test option again.

He held his breath and opened the closed beta test notification. The eerie, twisted, worm-like font trembled before his eyes. He read it line by line, and finally his gaze fell on the second agreement.

[II. This update is a targeted closed beta test. The main updates involve the test integration of player mods into the core game content. If selected players agree to participate in this closed beta test, it will be considered as their automatic consent to the game operator collecting their gameplay data.]
