Those who reincarnate must die.

"That's right!" Yue Xinyi nodded. "I suspect that this rollback is unrelated to our mission. Even if we hadn't come to this world, this world would have triggered a rollback mechanism under certain conditions. And the timing of the trigger depends on someone or something in this world that can also escape the rollback!"

"In other words, if we can find the person who jumped out of the rollback, we can find the reason for the rollback!"

"I see..." Old Mo nodded, while Ye Peng shrugged and said, "How are we supposed to find it? Don't forget that there's another world in this mission. We can't even be sure whether the key to triggering the rollback is in the human world or hell."

"It's in the human realm!" Zhang Lang said confidently. "The fluctuations felt in the human realm are significantly stronger. Although we can't pinpoint the exact location, it's definitely in the human realm!"

"Even so, there are billions of people in the world!" Ye Peng remained pessimistic: "It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

"There are still clues," Thunder's mechanical voice came through: "The rollback occurred fifteen minutes ago, and the trigger point for the most recent rollback was approximately forty-five minutes ago. This means the event that caused the rollback could potentially trigger within the next half hour!"

"That makes sense!" Yue Xinyi nodded. "On the other hand, if this rollback was triggered for some purpose, why would it return to the 15-minute mark?"

"In a game, reloading a save/load would definitely mean dying... or making a choice you regret. In that case, I'd definitely return to the save/load point closest to that wrong choice..."

"That makes things much clearer!" Le Xinyi snapped her fingers. "We can now focus on today's news, especially the news from fifteen minutes after we entered this world until forty-five minutes ago. Record as much of it as possible, and then compare it after the next cycle!"

"If any discrepancies are found in the descriptions, including the time, nature, number of casualties, etc., it's very likely that they are related to the person we're looking for!"

"That's world news!" Charles exclaimed, his face contorted in distress. "How much information would that require?"

"It's okay, leave it to me." Thunder raised his hand to his forehead, and the armor on his back unfolded, transforming to extend a huge receiving antenna.

"What are you doing?" Mia asked curiously.

"Connect to this world's network." Lines of code flashed in Thunder's e-cigarette eyes: "My supercomputer can analyze and compare news from all over the world... Fortunately, this world's network is advanced enough that almost all information can be found online."

"It's not just about the news," Yue Xinyi reminded her. "Ideally, we could hack into the police system, check the reports, and retrieve surveillance footage... Is that even possible?"

"I'll do my best," Thunder replied, increasing its computing power.

"Normally, there should be a trigger condition... but what if it's not normal?" Looking at the lightning-fast calculations, Lu Ren stroked his chin. "What if this thing is completely random, illogical, and has no trigger condition at all?"

"Then there's nothing we can do..." Yue Xinyi shrugged. "Let's just keep going through this cycle over and over again..."

"Can we never leave?" Matsumoto Fumino asked.

Le Xinyi shrugged: "Unless, one time, the rollback occurs after we've completed the mission..."

"No, we can leave at any time," Zhang Lang said.

Le Xinyi was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

A reincarnator doesn't necessarily have to wait until the mission is completed to leave the world; failure can also help...

Zhang Lang clenched his fist. He didn't want to use this method, but he couldn't afford to be trapped here... It was the last resort, the most helpless choice after all other paths had failed.

Time ticked by. Initially, due to Simon's death, Stargate New City went on high alert, and armed personnel began a thorough search for the murderer.

But soon, demons began to rush out of the stargate, and the entire new stargate city began to fall into chaos, with people being evacuated and troops being stationed there.

As the number of demons increased, the army began to falter. At this time, Xiao Mo joined the battle. With her immense strength and superior equipment, she wreaked havoc amidst the demonic tide, almost single-handedly blocking the star gate and buying time for the human army to regroup.

Soon, the entire Stargate New City became a battlefield, with large armies and endless demons engaging in a fierce battle. Xiao Mo, as a vanguard, fought on the front line, specializing in sniping elite high-level demons.

Finally, seven hours after the mission began, Zhang Lang felt that fluctuation again.

"It's coming!" Zhang Lang immediately unleashed his inner energy and sent a message to Xiao Mo at the same time.

Xiao Mo immediately activated his travel shoes. As the light circle lit up, three seconds later, a blood-soaked girl appeared beside Lao Mo.

Almost simultaneously, everything around them began to flow backward.

One minute later, the fluctuations stopped, and time returned to the fifteenth minute after they entered the world.

This time, due to the envelopment of the collapse energy, the entire twelfth altar did not participate in the rollback.

"Is this what a rollback is?" Everyone who experienced it for the first time was amazed and checked the changes in their badges.

"How is it? Have you backed up all the data?" Le Xinyi asked Lei Ting.

"Hmm, quite a large amount of data." Although it was a mechanical electronic voice, one could still hear the fatigue in Thunder's voice.

"Now comes the crucial part!" Le Xinyi clenched her fist.

Ye Peng, who was standing nearby, came up and asked, "Do you have enough hard drive space? How about I unleash my WarGreymon to help you back up your data?"

"Don't underestimate my Azure!" Thunder refused.

"Azure? Is that the name of your armor?" Ye Peng laughed. "You actually gave your armor a name?"

Thunder ignored him and re-invaded the network, starting to search for all relevant news information.

Everyone watched Thunder with tension. Such a massive data comparison required intense focus not only from Azure Armor's supercomputer but also from Thunder himself.

"I've got it! The first difference!"

Upon hearing Lei Ting's words, everyone's spirits lifted. Immediately afterward, Lei Ting projected the information, forming a holographic light screen that was displayed in front of everyone.

"Strange thing! A mysterious customer has appeared at the pawnshop, only to vanish without a trace after entering!"

This is an extra message in this cycle, accompanied by surveillance footage from the pawnshop, showing a group of people entering the pawnshop and then instantly disappearing in a bizarre manner.

Upon seeing this, the people at the twelve altars were disappointed. Wasn't this them?

Since they weren't involved in the rollback this time, to others, they simply vanished instantly. As for Zhang Lang's disappearances in the previous instances, the pawnshop owner probably only saw a group of people come in and didn't notice that one was missing.

Immediately afterwards, several different pieces of information appeared, including Simon's death, the surveillance footage of the Stargate New City Research Institute being hacked, different ticket records, etc... all of which were caused by the reincarnations of the Twelve Altars.

Just when everyone was disappointed again and again, finally, a piece of information that had nothing to do with them appeared!
