Those who reincarnate must die.

"The Champs-Élysées has collapsed, killing 75 people and seriously injuring 32. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation. (Google search for more information)"

"The collapse of the Champs-Élysées has resulted in 58 deaths and 33 serious injuries. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation."

The theater where the incident occurred is located in Existan, more than 6,000 kilometers away from the location of the Twelve Altars. Based on the time difference, it happened about 20 minutes after the mission started, which is five minutes after the rollback!

The same accident can result in significant differences in casualties, which must indicate the presence of some variable!

News reports are always delayed; by the time they saw the message, the accident had already occurred for about half an hour.

Should we go check it out? Zhang Lang does have a way to travel thousands of miles in an instant, but he estimates that all the people involved in the accident are no longer at the scene. If we go and don't find the key person, and then the world suddenly resets, it will be troublesome.

That would also cause the data backed up by Thunder to disappear.

Just as Zhang Lang was hesitating, Thunder suddenly dropped a second bombshell!

"A serious car accident has occurred on First Avenue! One person is dead and three are injured!"

The difference lies in the fact that this incident only occurred in the previous cycle, and there is no related information this time!

This means that no car accident occurred during this cycle... or it was just a minor accident with no injuries or deaths and no news reports.

This No. 1 Avenue is also located in Exitan, and the accident site is less than one kilometer away from the Champs-Élysées, thirteen minutes after the theater explosion.

Did that "variable" move?

"Thirteen minutes, not even a kilometer..." Upon seeing this information, Yue Xinyi analyzed, "If he really had experienced multiple cycles and retained the memories, he should have wanted to escape these disasters, not move so slowly..."

"This means he knew that using public transportation was dangerous," Zhang Lang frowned. "And he himself has very limited mobility; he should be an ordinary person..."

Now, Zhang Lang has given up the idea of ​​rushing to the scene immediately. He has decided to focus on observation in this cycle, first to deduce the action path of that "variable", and then deal with it in the next cycle!

Soon, the third point of difference also appeared!

"An explosion occurred at a gas station at the intersection of Burren Street, resulting in two deaths and two injuries. Preliminary investigations suggest that it was caused by employee negligence."

"The utility pole on Eman Road collapsed, but fortunately no one was injured."

The two accidents occurred around the same time and were only a few hundred meters apart.

"The first time, the gas station exploded, but the utility pole was fine; the second time, the utility pole collapsed, but the gas station was fine..."

Ye Peng frowned at the discrepancies in the information: "Is this person crazy? The first time they lit a gas station, the second time they tore down a utility pole?"

"Maybe it's the opposite." Lu Ren shook his head: "The first time, it prevented the utility pole from collapsing; the second time, it prevented the gas station from exploding."

"Then he's a jinx too..." Ye Peng retorted, not to be outdone. "In just a short while, there have been collapses, car accidents, and explosions all around us."

"That's not all..." Yue Xinyi reminded her, "There's been another incident."

Thunder has now revealed its fourth point of difference!

"Burren Street collapsed, causing several vehicles to become stuck. Emergency rescue efforts are currently underway."

"A gas pipeline on Aiman ​​Road exploded, and a manhole cover that exploded fell and killed one person!"

"You still say he's not a jinx!" Ye Peng exclaimed excitedly, "So what exactly do we need to do to stop the ground from collapsing?"

Lu Ren scoffed, "Then how do you make the ground collapse?"

"He managed to reset the entire world, and you're still worrying about this little accident?" Mia scoffed. "This guy definitely has some incredibly powerful supernatural force around him!"

Next, the Thunder compiled a series of discrepancies, mostly related to various accidents, which occurred approximately every ten to twenty minutes.

As the reports progressed, netizens' reactions grew increasingly intense, especially among locals, who even panicked because of the series of incidents... However, as time went on, these strange news stories were soon overshadowed by the major event of the demon invasion.

Based on these unexpected incidents, it can be concluded that in the two cycles, the variable chose two completely different routes. Although the starting point was the Grand Theater, it went further and further away afterward.

"It seems that accidents really do follow you wherever you go..." Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes. It's really hard to say where the variable of reincarnation will go next. The only certainty is that the starting point is the Champs-Élysées.

To find this variable, we have to go to the theater immediately.

As Zhang Lang was pondering, the fluctuation reappeared.

A rollback was triggered? What happened to that variable?

Zhang Lang looked at Lei Ting, but then realized that the news was delayed compared to the actual events, and what that variable was going through was not visible to Lei Ting.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Lang had to unleash his power again, enveloping everyone. A minute later, the world was reset once more.

Based on the experience of the previous two incidents, the Champs-Élysées will collapse in five minutes, and then that variable will once again choose a path, triggering a series of accidents...

The future path is completely unpredictable; the only way to find him is now!

Thinking of this, he immediately took to the air, activated the Void Moon Stepping Technique, and headed west.

The distance of over 6,000 kilometers is less than five minutes for Zhang Lang now.

A moment later, he was already above Exitan and could see the iconic Champs-Élysées.

Unlike the surrounding modern buildings, this theater displays a distinct classical style, and its exterior walls show signs of weathering, clearly indicating that it is a building with a long history...

Zhang Lang landed lightly beside the theater, his ears twitching as he listened intently.

Soon, he heard faint creaking sounds coming from between the theater walls and pillars—the groans of materials finally giving way under the weight of years of neglect. No wonder this theater collapsed…

Besides the groans, Zhang Lang also heard some noises that shouldn't exist in the theater.

That was the sound of a crowd running, mixed with a woman's loud shouts.

"Run, everyone! There's a bomb here!"

bomb?

Zhang Lang frowned slightly. It seemed he had found the variable!

With that thought in mind, he sped into the theater, weaving through the fleeing crowd, and soon spotted the man who claimed to have a bomb.

It was a short-haired girl in her early twenties. While urging everyone to run away, she looked back at the ceiling of the theater lobby, as if she knew it was about to collapse.

"That's her!" Zhang Lang rushed forward and stood in front of the girl.

The sudden appearance of the tall man startled the girl. After regaining her senses, she immediately warned Zhang Lang, "What are you doing here? Run! This place is about to explode!"

"It wasn't an explosion, it was a collapse, wasn't it?"

"Huh?" Zhang Lang's words startled the girl, but just then, a loud bang came from the dome of the Grand Theater.

"Crack!"

"Oh no, it's already started!"

The girl was startled and grabbed Zhang Lang's hand, running outside: "Run! Run!"

But Zhang Lang was like a bronze statue nailed to the ground, unmoved no matter how she pulled him.

"Don't worry, it's alright..." Zhang Lang glanced at the audience members who still hadn't managed to escape from the theater, shook off the girl's hand, and walked forward.

Just then, two pillars inside the theater broke, and the huge dome collapsed.

Zhang Lang took a deep breath, raised his head, and blew it out…
