Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 863 - 860: "Shaoqing

——Turns out that killing an anomaly allows one to acquire all its memories from when it was alive.

Looking at Liu Xuanxuan’s memories, could anomalies be transformed humans after death?

"No, anomalies surely have other materials for creation; they resemble natural phenomena more..." Su Ming’an considered, "Liu Xuanxuan must have been enticed by someone before her death, using a special method to become part of the anomalies."

He hasn’t killed an enemy yet, but if he kills one, he should also acquire the lifetime memories of that enemy.

He finally understood how to deal with this world.

——Blow Kill the Riddler!

At this moment, a light suddenly appeared behind him, and Xiao Jingsan’s cold voice came:

"——Your Highness Su Shaoqing, stop, do not investigate any further."

Su Ming’an turned his head, Xiao Jingsan stood at the alley entrance holding a lantern, accompanied by a group of centaurs, blocking the path.

The light of the talisman lit up above the alley, forming a barrier that completely sealed the alley.

The words of the Eldest Prince were "Shaoqing." Looks like Xiao Jingsan has identified who Su Ming’an is.

Su Ming’an removed "Wang Han’s Human Skin Mask," confronting Xiao Jingsan. Ten meters apart, two identical faces, one hidden in the alley’s shadow, one standing in the lantern’s glow.

"If I kill you, can I acquire all your memories?" Su Ming’an asked.

"You’re thinking about that?" Xiao Jingsan raised his brow, speaking respectfully yet without a hint of respect: "You’ve really forgotten so much... If you kill those commoners, maybe you could gain their memories as well. My memories have talisman protection, you definitely cannot obtain them."

Su Ming’an nodded. It seems "kill a person to gain their memories" really is a Rule of this world.

——Encounter the riddler in the future and cut him down directly. Let’s see if we can break their memory protection.

They stared at each other, but Xiao Jingsan did not rush to take action.

"Your Highness, did you encounter an exotic species at the Red Mansion?" Xiao Jingsan inquired, "It may disguise as a human, posing great danger, I must eliminate it. If you disclose its appearance, I can allow you to leave the Capital City. The previous blonde girl was not an exotic species; this was a mistake in my investigation, I can offer you compensation."

Su Ming’an felt speechless upon hearing, even Xiber wouldn’t believe Xiao Jingsan’s words.

Now at the Red Mansion, Bailian quietly left due to failing to break the Shadow’s barrier and encountering the guards’ patrol. Shadow also distanced himself from the Red Mansion. No wonder Xiao Jingsan found nothing.

"Silent?" Xiao Jingsan looked at Su Ming’an, a yellow paper emerging in his hand, "...Then there’s no choice."

The world began to slow down. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Triangle pattern: Hold the Spatial Domain, shake off Xiao Jingsan, proceed to the Royal City’s core and complete "Chapter One - White Lotus Doomsday."

Square pattern: Use Matrix Orders, shake off Xiao Jingsan, proceed to the Royal City’s core and complete "Chapter One - White Lotus Doomsday."

Circle pattern: Disclose Bailian.

Diamond pattern: Offer the blonde girl entering the residence as a concubine, hoping to ally with Xiao Jingsan.

...

Among the four options, none are combat options.

Moreover, "Chapter One - White Lotus Doomsday"... this description is particularly intriguing.

Su Ming’an’s gaze fixed on the square pattern, he vaguely felt this option would clear the fog before him.

After choosing, his body moved on its own.

"Matrix Orders—Blazing Fire!"

His hands moved on their own, golden seal script flashed through the air. In an instant, a thousand streams of flowing fire emerged from the air, transforming into stream blades resembling red lotuses, rushing towards people!

People were frightened, dropping the lanterns from their hands, scrambling out.

"Help, help!!"

"It’s really Blazing Fire, how could he possibly..."

"Fifth Level Matrix Orders?" Xiao Jingsan stared at Su Ming’an: "How could you possibly have Fifth Level strength? Clearly, you’ve been bleeding all the time..."

"Boom——!!!"

Flames surged, fire waves flooded the entire alley. Su Ming’an’s body automatically used Teleport to leave the alley, kicking his legs, swinging away using Puppet Threads.

A faint morning light appeared in the distant horizon; system time was approaching morning.

He now had to go to the Royal City center, hopefully meeting the State Preceptor. That Preceptor was always in contact with the Penglai Immortal, surely aware of all secrets.

This world currently seemed not to be complex. It shouldn’t be like the Ninth World, layered like a thousand layers cake.

...

...

Underneath the clouded sky, a youthful knife-wielding figure in a patterned uniform leaped through the Royal City streets. The youth’s tall frame and stern demeanor indicated he was Lv Shu.

Lv Shu bypassed the guards’ patrol, reaching a Scripture Pavilion. He searched inside the pavilion, uncovering a dust-filled book "Emperor Kangyu’s Notes."

[The Royal Family’s rule for six generations, all were puppets of the Supreme God...]

Opening the first page, he inexplicably felt a familiar sensation, as if he had seen this page before.

"Strange." Lv Shu thought: "Why do I feel like I’ve been here?"

Unable to unravel it, he continued reading.

...

[I acknowledge his accomplishments—]

[But I do not acknowledge my fate.]

[Penglai Fairy Island should truly hold an Immortal; but whether this Immortal harbors kind intent, whether blessings will be bestowed, whether it will expel the exotic species and anomalies from the mortal world, are fundamentally unpredictable.]

[—If truly divine, why ignore the mortal world’s tragedy then?]

[—If not ignoring humanity, just lacking sympathy, will seeking the Immortal on Penglai Fairy Island be of any use?]

[—If possessing sympathy yet unable to benefit humanity, could such an entity be called an Immortal? Will looking for the Immortal on Penglai Fairy Island bring any relief?]

[Shaoqing, I truly don’t know how to escape this place.]

...

Lv Shu, after a few lines of reading, felt dizzy. The book had some protection measures, preventing prolonged browsing. Yet oddly, he felt he’d encountered the passages from before.

...Too strange.

He returned the book to its place, headed back to his dwelling, shut the room door, hiding away his Night Walk attire.

Outside the woven window, the sky revealed a faint morning light, sparking curiosity and doubt within Lv Shu. The Replica Activation time was set for midnight; he’d only spent a short time searching the Capital City, logically within three hours—why was morning arriving?

He checked the system time, noticing it was already six a.m. Could it be that some time was taken away during the period?

He must quickly inform Su Ming’an about this matter.

"I’ve been to the Scripture Pavilion, Capital City streets, all without finding Su Ming’an. Where would Su Ming’an be headed?" Lv Shu pondered while sitting on the bed.

Suddenly, knocking sounds came from the door.

"Knock knock knock."

"Who’s there?" Lv Shu asked.

Then, he felt an extremely subtle sense of déjà vu—a tremor and fear rose in his heart. As if it wasn’t a human standing behind the door, but a blade edge poised to pierce his heart.

He actually had a premonition—if he opened the door, he would be killed.

...What’s going on?

...What on earth is going on?

"Guard Lv, Your Majesty wants to summon you." At the door was the voice of the guard captain.

"Alright."

Lv Shu walked towards the door, but the subtle feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger. With each step closer, he could feel an increasingly intense sense of discomfort. It was as if there was a terrifying monster behind the door, waiting to devour his flesh and blood.

His spirit grew more concentrated, his gaze colder and sharper, and all his muscles tensed.

As he pushed the door, he suddenly retreated backward. At that moment, a blade entwined with scarlet tendrils almost pierced through his heart.

...Someone wanted to kill him!

Lv Shu’s gaze turned cold, and the killing intent surged throughout his body.

In the morning light, the guard captain stood at the door, holding the menacing and terrifying tendril-blade. Seeing Lv Shu dodge the first strike, the guard captain’s eyes turned fierce as he lunged with a second strike toward Lv Shu!

Lv Shu flipped his hand, and the Black Blade appeared between his palms. With a "clang," the blade edge intersected with the tendril-blade, and the sinister black-red tendrils emitted a strange "hiss-hiss" sound.

"Why do you want to kill me!" Lv Shu said coldly, exerting force with the blade in his hand.

On his shoulder, the crimson butterfly and viridescent mantis leaped out. The butterfly’s wings shimmered, scattering a luminescent red powder. The guard captain sneezed, stepping back, and tendrils crazily spread from his right arm, with eyes full of greed for flesh and blood.

"Swoosh!"

The mantis blade flickered coldly, slicing through the air with a chilling white line. Under the twin blades of Little Bi, with individual Combat Power reaching 2500, the black-red tendrils emitted hoarse cries like severed vines falling to the ground.

"Blame it on this World for not needing you." The guard captain’s eyes were bloodshot, his right palm opened, and new tendrils sprouted.

Lv Shu’s strike was blocked, but without hesitation, his muscle memory from swinging the blade hundreds of thousands of times instantly overrode his brain, making his right arm muscles act as if they had consciousness, driving him to swing the next blade!

"Swoosh!"

Under the sharp blade edge, the cold light covered the blade fully erupted, as if countless icy spikes formed. The forward-reaching tendrils of the guard captain were severed, with half a hand dropping to the ground, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Ah—!"

Little Bi followed closely, stabbing straight for the guard captain’s chest, with each cut aimed at fatal points!

The guard captain gritted his teeth, activating the sacrificial move, his whole body like it was boiling, releasing steam, and tendrils surged violently from his body!

This scene was filled with an eerie sense of disgust, a living man whose limbs and face were forcibly pried open by tendrils, which like frenzied black-red pythons, tore through his skin and flesh, baring their fangs towards Lv Shu!

Lv Shu and Little Bi retreated, avoiding the suddenly bursting tendrils. These tendrils grew extremely fast, attacked from treacherous angles, and carried a dizziness-inducing sense of disgust!

After fighting for several seconds, Lv Shu felt his vision and hearing gradually fading away, as if there were vengeful Ghosts roaring in his ears, unable to see or hear anything clearly.

Covered in blood, he still relied on combat instinct, relying on his instinct of swinging thousands of times under the bridge arches, using killing intent perception to capture the enemy’s position.

Vaguely, he felt the dawn light pouring into his eyes, warmth seemingly close yet distant.

He couldn’t see with his eyes, so he relied on killing intent for positioning.

He couldn’t hear with his ears, so he relied on instinct to perceive.

"Puff" a crisp sound.

Hot blood splattered on his face, and at that moment—he finally perceived the sensation of the blade piercing a heart.

—He had forcibly pierced the guard captain’s heart with no vision or hearing.

The guard captain lay on the ground, silent.

Lv Shu spat blood, leaning on the Black Blade, and walked forward step by step.

...He successfully killed this Exotic Species.

He needed to take the message out.

[HP: 330]

[DEBUFF (Piercing Major Bleed): 30 HP lost per second, unable to use non-limb regeneration-type Skills to heal.]

...

His sight slightly recovered, eyes blood-red all over, Lv Shu could no longer perceive how many wounds were on his body, only thinking about leaving here, finding Su Ming’an, and telling him about the dangers.

—Even the guard captain could be Possessed by Exotic Species, meaning there was no safe place left in the Royal City.

Dawn cast over his pale face, with not a trace of blood color on his cheeks. The mantis with a severed limb perched on his shoulder, clinging to his ear. The butterfly, its wings torn, lay on his head.

There seemed to be a gaping hole in his chest, with a chilling wind.

He struggled to move forward, one step, two steps, three steps.

[HP: 130]

Rustle, rustle.

A gust of wind moved, grass leaves swayed, and in the silent courtyard, Lv Shu left a blood footprint with each step, sprinkling blood plum blossoms behind him, even the green grass was stained red.

"Little Bi... No, Little Bi can’t move anymore. Little Hong’s wings are torn, unable to fly." He kept thinking of ways to relay the message: "I have no means of communication, how can I tell Su Ming’an it’s dangerous here..."

[HP: 40]

His vision completely turned dark.

His legs felt weak, with no strength to move forward, he kneeled onto the ground, fingers gripping the Black Blade tightly, coughing blood constantly. His darkened vision slightly shifted upwards, seeing the Black Blade in his hand, he tightened his grip.

If there really is a next time...

If his déjà vu was real...

Then next time, next time, he must go out, to inform Su Ming’an...

...

[HP: 0]

...

...

Su Ming’an arrived at the core of the Royal City.

Dawn brushed the glazed tiles, the white jade stones shimmering brightly. The palace maids and eunuchs cleaned the streets, sweeping away the night’s fallen leaves and dew.

The Royal City resembled the Forbidden City, yet was distinct from it. The layout was square, the palace halls staggered, with corner pavilions resembling small mountains, and the Imperial Garden was filled with small bridges and flowing waters. In the sky, golden talisman characters faintly shimmered, like a protective Barrier.

Su Ming’an landed in the Imperial Garden, regaining control over his body.

A green arrow representing the mission reappeared, pointing to a majestic hall beyond the garden wall. The grand hall was surrounded by incense, with tall walls and columns; one needed to climb over the garden wall to reach it.

The season should be early February, with peach blossoms already blooming. All that met the eyes were the vibrant pinks, flamboyant and bright, with pink butterflies floating in the mist.

Su Ming’an had just taken a step when he suddenly saw not far away, beneath the White Jade Pavilion, a figure with long white hair.

That person stood among the White Jade Pavilion, petals of peach blossoms brushed past the flowing white hair, their silver-threaded white robe blending with the pure white pavilion, appearing to coexist with countless resplendent peach blossoms.

"Shaoqing?"

The voice was like jade beads, looking towards him.
