I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

In the fifth cycle, upon learning that he was trapped in the territory of the [Circling Hounds], the panic and disorientation that instantly appeared on Zhao Haidong's face was so real.

However, in the sixth cycle, Zhao Haidong remained remarkably calm.

Even if his reaction at the time was entirely in line with the instinctive reaction in that situation.

But this is on the premise that Zhao Haidong still has doubts about being "trapped in the field".

only……

With Old Deng's keen perception, how could he not see the truth after Jiang Luo gave him so much information?

Since it's a reset, it means that each time is a completely new beginning.

Why did Zhao Haidong react so differently in the two cycles?

unless……

Zhao Haidong in the sixth cycle is not a "new person" whose memories have been wiped clean at all!

With the memories of the fifth cycle, he calmed down and quickly determined that the four of them alone could not possibly break through this domain.

So he put on a play.

A play where a plan is used against a plan.

Think about it carefully...

What Zhao Haidong said in the sixth cycle...

"With your power, you might be able to destroy this area in one strike before it detects your spying."

This is not advice at all, but a disguised encouragement to take action!

Having figured this out, Jiang Luo felt a chill run down his spine.

That old Deng has more tricks up his sleeve than a honeycomb briquette!

The only saving grace is that Zhao Haidong most likely doesn't have memories of the first four cycles.

Otherwise, when he tried to seize the [Origin Ash] in the sixth cycle, his reaction wouldn't have been exactly the same as before.

But even so.

Zhao Haidong would surely understand that the appearance of the [blood worm] and that surveillance video could not possibly be a coincidence!

Especially his words of thanks before he left...

Looking back now, behind that gentle smile, there was no gratitude at all, but clearly a silent warning and a test.

"This is getting a bit troublesome..."

Jiang Luo's small body sank into the soft bed, feeling like her head was about to explode.

He doesn't understand.

Why does this old man have to be so clever?!

Can't they just be honest, lazy bums who just wait to die?!

to be frank.

While in the loop, Jiang Luo did consider silencing the old man completely.

But the key point is...

If they do that, their whole family will inevitably become the most wanted criminals, and their future days will be completely unbearable!

Of course, what's even more important is the mechanism of this broken system.

He can only use his various elemental powers when he encounters danger...

especially……

This mechanism is still just speculation, and we have no idea whether it's true or not!

This is the most distressing thing...

"Damn system, can you learn from Doubao and tell me in the most straightforward, direct, and unambiguous way what exactly your broken mechanism is?!"

Jiang Luo couldn't take it anymore and angrily cursed at the system in his mind.

The voice just fell.

The system notification tone did indeed sound.

This made Jiang Luo think that his curses had worked, and he was immediately overjoyed.

result……

[Since no selection has been made by the host, the system will automatically select various attributes randomly for the host!]

[Host: Jiang Luo]

Strength: 403 (400+3)

Speed: 224 (214+10)

[Spirit: 307 (306+1)]

Defense: 120 (107+13)

Comprehension: 40 (36 + 4)

[Insight: 152 (150+2)]

"Your mom..."

Jiang Luo's smile vanished, and her composure crumbled instantly.

If you're not going to give an answer, then so be it.

My attribute points!

A total of 33 attribute points!

I want to focus on defense!

This system is such a jerk, can you please stop being so cruel?

Jiang Luo got angrier and angrier the more she thought about it!

I simply turned over, covered my head with the blanket, and forced myself not to think about these upsetting things.

there is always a solution to a problem.

How about love!

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them again.

Because a new problem has come to mind.

This lousy system, isn't the time to give attribute points fixed at 2 PM every day?

Why is it earlier today, at midnight?

that……

Will they give it to me again at 2 PM?

The thought of this possibility inexplicably lifted Jiang Luo's spirits.

……

at the same time.

Inside the director's office of the Extraordinary Bureau of Dongzhou City.

Smoke swirled around.

Zhao Haidong sat in a large office chair, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, the scarlet flame flickering in the dim light.

In his other hand, a small, old card lay quietly.

The card's background is a murky dark gray, with an ominous dark green tinge around the edges.

In the center of the card is a very blurry figure, which looks like a slightly open mouth or a half-open eye, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

【False Decree】, an S-rank bizarre item.

Its only ability is fraud!

Within certain limits, it distorts reality, creates false illusions, and even... deceives the rules.

Originally, this was a trump card he had prepared to deal with Jiang Luo's mysterious power.

Even if he couldn't confront them head-on, he could at least escape safely with his three teammates by relying on the deceptive abilities of [False Edict].

But he never expected that he would be drawn into the territory of the "Circling Hounds".

In order to avoid becoming that beast's meal, he had no choice but to use this precious trump card, forcibly deceiving the domain's reset rules and retaining his memories from the fifth cycle.

Zhao Haidong had no idea what had happened in the previous loop.

But from the fact that Jiang Luo so skillfully took the [Source Tracing Ash] from him, from the fact that Zhang Hui, whom he had always thought was an ordinary person, could recognize the [Source Tracing Ash] at a glance, and from the fact that the door to room 602 remained tightly closed during the last two cycles.

From these clues, Zhao Haidong was able to piece together a rough outline.

Of course, he didn't choose to take action at the last minute, not because he was afraid of the two calamities of the Jiang family, nor because he was afraid of Lu Yao's self-destructive sacrifice.

But...

Because of a deeper concern!
