Did the world end today?

Chapter 184 Heart-killing
Across from him, Zhou Yue stared in disbelief.

He looked at Lin Xu blankly, then turned to look at Qin Feng.

The latter took out a cigarette from his pocket, shook it, and asked:
Still want to smoke?

"I might not have the chance to draw again in the future."

A hint of fear flashed in Zhou Yue's eyes.

"You can't treat me like this! Don't you have any conscience?!"

"My plan has taken effect!"

"If I die, all the mines I planted will be detonated!"

"Do you want to destroy this world?"

"At that time, you will be the biggest sinner in the world!"

"They won't blame me; they'll only blame your ignorance and incompetence!"

Zhou Yue's eyes held a hint of ferocity.

His words were also full of threats.

Sometimes, Lin Xu really had to admire Zhou Yue's grasp of human nature.

In particular, the grasp of the dark side of human nature.

He's absolutely right. If the so-called "lockdown plan" really succeeds, then in the end, the biggest culprit won't be him, but rather himself and the decision-making group behind him.

Because most of the time, the "human" group is blind.

They tend not to blame the instigator for a bad outcome, but rather to blame those who failed to prevent it from happening.

Their logic is very simple.

"What's the point of blaming the person who started it all when it's already happened?"

"You clearly had the opportunity to stop it, but you didn't. Isn't that your responsibility?"

Such ideas have occurred countless times throughout history—and we don’t even need to look back at history; in reality, right now, such things are still happening all the time.

but.
"I do not care."

Lin Xu looked directly into Zhou Yue's eyes.

“I don’t care what they think of me at all.”

"I'm just trying to save the world."

"It doesn't matter whether they call me a good person, a bad person, an evil person, or a thug."

"As long as I achieve the result I want, history will clear my name of all wrongdoing."

"Only merits and demerits will be remembered."

"But you won't have the chance to see history!"

Zhou Yue's voice suddenly became shrill.

"I told you, you have no chance at all. No chance to see history!"

"Once my plan is launched, this world will lose all hope before the end of the world!"

"It is destined to perish! And human history will come to an end with it!"

"Because this is the only world with hope! This is the world where the Destiny Stone resides!"

"Do you want to destroy it?!"

Zhou Yue had entered a state of complete hysteria, but Lin Xu's emotions became increasingly calm.

He had already achieved his goal, and now every "extra" piece of information Zhou Yue mentioned was a gain for him.

The more frantic Zhou Yue became, the more confident Zhou Yue felt about victory.

After a slight pause, Lin Xu asked:
"So, your idea is actually to lock down a certain technology or distort a certain trend by 'hunting down' key figures, right?"

"I don't know which world you saw this route from."

"But I think you've missed the most crucial point."

"Conspiracies targeting 'people' can never truly work."

"This is the limitation of you Western-thinking people."

"History is not created by heroes, but by the people."

What's the point of killing so many people?

"Once we figure out what trend you're trying to distort or curb, your so-called plan becomes a joke, doesn't it?"

"To be honest, before this 'massacre' happened, I still had some expectations for you."

"I thought your trump card would be something more sophisticated."

"But now it seems you're still really too rudimentary."

Lin Xu's words revealed obvious contempt, and almost instantly, Zhou Yue's emotions were completely ignited.

His eyes were wide with rage as he struggled to stand up from the interrogation chair, but the cold handcuffs restricted his movements, leaving him only able to bark like a mad dog chained to a corner.

"I'm low-level!?"

"I am the closest person to God! I can descend into any world at will!"

"Even you can't compare to me!"

"I am the only savior, I am the common master of all mankind!"

"I'm only one step away from becoming a god! How dare you question me?!"

"Let me tell you, even if you kill me now, new killer bees will keep being born!"

"I have countless incarnations, and those incarnations will find you again!"

"I will kill you next time. I will never give you another chance!"

Incarnation?

Now we've finally gotten to the key point.

Just as Lin Xu had guessed, there was indeed more than one killer bee.
-
No, that's not actually the right way to put it.

There is only one "killer bee".

But when the killer bee dies, more "Zhou Yue" will occupy the vacated ecological niche and slowly grow into a killer bee.

But this is not important.

The butterfly and the killer bee will never meet again.

Because no Zhou Yue could create a killer bee's "body" in this Destiny Stone world.

And those Zhou Yue from other worlds
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Lin Xu's mind.

"Do you know that I have a way to completely wipe out killer bees from all over the world?"

"impossible!"

Zhou Yue said angrily, yet with unwavering confidence, even arrogance:
"You can only move forward, not backward."

"You discovered me in 2025, but I entered the higher-dimensional channel much earlier than you!"

"You cannot change history, and since you cannot change history, you can never completely destroy my incarnation!" "I don't need to change history."

Lin Xu shook his head and said:
"All I need to do is change the future."

"Have you forgotten? Time is just a flat plane for you."

"Therefore, it is meaningless to talk about history or the future."

I will tailor a plan for you.

"From now on, every world in the future will destroy you the moment they see you."

"Therefore, killer bees can never grow up."

"Because your 'time travel' is random."

"If you're even slightly unlucky and end up traveling to a world after July 2025, you'll be caught and killed immediately."

"And if you're really lucky enough to travel back to before 2025, bro, with a 5-year information gap, the human world doesn't even know what the end of the world is yet."

"Then you can play by yourself. Anyway, one day you'll enter the world after 2025."

"Your fate is sealed."

Lin Xu paused at this point.

Then, as if he had figured something out, he suddenly laughed.

"Oh dear, I'm overthinking it."

"In fact, this trend has been developing unstoppably ever since I learned about your logic of existence."

Therefore, theoretically

"You are already dead."

"Not just you, Zhou Yue in countless worlds has also died."

"It's just that it hasn't been buried yet."

"The logic isn't complicated; I think you should be able to figure it out, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yue trembled all over.

An overwhelming sense of fear overwhelmed him almost instantly.

The killer bees are dead?

Time is a plane
Time is a sea
"Hahahaha"

"woooooo"

Zhou Yue was both crying and laughing, and was in a state of frenzy.

Lin Xu did not interrupt him.

"I am dead, yet I am alive; I am already dead."

His mind was in complete chaos, but amidst this chaos, he was acutely and desperately aware of an undeniable fact.

Lin Xu is right.

The butterfly is right.

They don't need to change the past.

All they need to do is change the future.

One's own time is an ocean.

They don't need to find out where the boundary between the past and the future is in this sea.

They just need to electrify the sea indiscriminately.
They can do it.

Zhou Yue is on the verge of complete madness.

His spirit was completely destroyed, and in a very short time, the immense mental anguish led to physicalization.

Muscle spasms, cold sweat pours down, and saliva uncontrollably secretes and then overflows from the mouth.

From the moment Lin Xu first met him until now.

Less than 20 minutes had passed.

He still seems to be struggling.

"No, no, I still have a chance. I still have a chance."

Lin Xu simply watched quietly from the side.

For a fleeting moment, a sense of pity inexplicably arose in his heart.

After all, humans are instinctively inclined to empathize with the pain of their fellow human beings.

But it was only for a moment.

A madman, a fool, who wants to become a god.

What is there to empathize with about his breakdown?
Lin Xu stood up, intending to leave.

"and many more!!"

Zhou Yue shouted hoarsely:
"Do you dare to face me honestly and openly, face to face?"

"I am stronger than you!! I am more worthy to be a god than you!!"

At this point, Zhou Yue had completely lost the "calm and composed" demeanor he had at the beginning.

He's not even human anymore.

Instead, it looks like a zombie from a horror movie.

Lin Xu let out a soft breath.

Then, he spoke:
"First, I never thought about becoming a god."

"If there were a god like you in our world, he would definitely be pulled down from his altar and torn to shreds."

"Secondly, do you want to duel me face to face?"

"Big brother."

"Think clearly."

"You spent hundreds of years preparing in countless worlds to come up with this so-called plan."

"But I destroyed it in just 20 minutes?"

"What makes you think you're qualified to duel me?"

After saying that, Lin Xu turned and left.

A few seconds later, a loud crash was heard in the interrogation room.

Medical staff rushed inside. Qin Feng looked into the interrogation room with slight worry, while Lin Xu casually waved his hand and said:
"Leave him."

"Let him die."

"Let's see how he came back to life."

"Anyway, this is his only value."
