Chapter 338 Just this one moment
Wanting to change the past, but unable to change everyone's memories, it's only natural that they would suffer a backlash.
Song Juexiao submitted his conjectures to the academy but received no reply.
"Never mind." She didn't like taking on extra work. Since the academy's initial task for them was to investigate the whereabouts of those two people, handing over her findings to the academy was already doing an extra job. "There will definitely be professionals in charge."
Song Juexiao rested her chin on her hand, feeling that her mindset was becoming less and less like that of a "hero." She was simply trying to complete the assigned tasks, rather than trying to save anyone or anything.
"All we need to do now is investigate Creed and Cecil's issues," Song Juexiao said, showing them the documents.
The assassin and his ghostly childhood sweetheart... Su Yanzhi stared at them, lost in thought, when Pei Zhaoye on the other side sharply rebuked her: "What are you thinking about?"
Su Yanzhi didn't speak, but gave Pei Zhaoye a very perfunctory fake smile.
Pei Zhaoye also gave Su Yanzhi a smile: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Su Yanzhi remained silent, but he was very good at imagining things and then secretly enjoying it.
Su Yanzhi: "...Have you gotten any better?"
Pei Zhaoye said smugly, "At least I did something real, unlike you who just imagines things. You held hands and you can relive the memory for three years."
Su Yanzhi felt that since joining the team, she had been unable to speak more and more often.
It's probably because he felt guilty.
Song Juexiao pretended not to understand the intricacies of their conversation, clapped his hands, and drew their attention back to himself: "Let's split up."
—If time could be turned back to this point, splitting up would definitely be the worst decision Song Juexiao has ever made since the start of this operation.
Pei Zhaoye stayed behind, providing each of them with timely assistance, while the remaining people split into groups and acted independently. Song Juexiao also stayed behind, so that he could cover Pei Zhaoye in case of any unexpected events.
As expected, an unexpected event did occur.
—The timeline becomes chaotic. After the incident is resolved, time will rewind to before the resolution. All the clues obtained will be lost, and everything will rewind to before it happened.
Although they have the experience to solve the problem more quickly if they start over, endless repetition seems to lead to a loss of fighting spirit as they see no future.
Only Xie Yungui remained remarkably calm from the very beginning until now, while everyone else was starting to get anxious.
Faced with Lu Xianqing's questioning gaze, Xie Yungui remained calm: "I'm used to it."
You have to get used to it eventually. After all, this is the path Xie Yungui chose himself. Lu Xianqing doesn't understand, but he respects it.
Only Jiang Xingni knew what he was talking about, but Jiang Xingni wasn't there, so naturally he couldn't express his protest.
"You're used to it." Lu Xianqing repeated the sentence, and seeing that Xie Yungui didn't continue, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Then do you have a way to solve it?"
Xie Yungui was now truly going to pretend that he hadn't heard anything at all.
During the search, Su Yanzhi lived up to expectations and was successfully attacked by Sera—that strange woman—and thus fell into a one-on-one battle of attrition.
Su Yanzhi knew that defeating a monster wouldn't be too much of a problem, even if that monster had grown up in the slums and around assassins.
But then again, who isn't a killer at heart?
Su Yan knew he was also an assassin, and Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming both grew up in the slums.
In terms of experience, Su Yanzhi felt that he was not much different from the monster in front of him. Perhaps he had killed more monsters and superhumans than Sera had killed.
The problem is that Su Yanzhi can kill Sera once, ten times, but he cannot kill Sera, who is constantly rewinding time, a hundred times without any rest or replenishment.
In fact, after more than ten times, Su Yanzhi could already feel her energy declining.
"Xie Yungui..." he gritted his teeth as he uttered Xie Yungui's name.
Although he didn't know if this superpower was related to Xie Yungui, Xie Yungui was the only person he knew whose superpower was related to time—Jiang Xingni couldn't curse him—and in the end, Xie Yungui was the only one he could vent his anger on.
"You actually dare to be distracted?" Despite being killed so many times, Sera's expression still showed no fear. She lazily approached Su Yanzhi's head from behind, her cold breath hitting Su Yanzhi's neck.
Suddenly, her hand gripped Su Yanzhi's neck. Just as she was about to close her hand and crush Su Yanzhi's neck bones, Su Yanzhi's supernatural ability activated, and Sera's wrist and forearm were cleanly severed at the joint.
Only a severed hand remained, futilely gripping Su Yanzhi's neck. Su Yanzhi easily removed it and casually tossed it away.
Su Yanzhi turned his head and smiled lightly: "It's okay, even if I'm distracted, it's enough to take care of you."
Sera was successfully entangled by Su Yanzhi. Outside the time loop, Pei Zhaoye's brain and superpowers were about to be burned out due to their frantic operation.
At this moment, he also took a few seconds to release his teammates and then went to support Jiang Xingni.
The person who targeted him and Song Juexiao was Wells.
The information indicates that he was a human killer with no superpowers, who became a hunter of superhumans and monsters simply through training and firearms.
"A hunter of superhumans?" Song Juexiao kicked Pei Zhaoye to bring Pei Zhaoye's attention back.
Pei Zhaoye didn't have the energy to continue paying attention to his current situation; he could only do a lot of calculations to figure out where the weaknesses were in these time loops.
The long-haired girl finally revealed a sharp, crazed smile. She grinned, "Perfect! I've been curious about the limits of human combat power for a long time. Let me see my current results... and, let's see who's hunting whom!"
Her figure flickered and disappeared from Wells' sight. When she reappeared, what Wells saw even faster than the pain was a streak of red hair that brushed past the edge of his vision.
Blown by the wind, it lashed wildly across Wells' face.
Too close...
But it's just right!
What Wells wanted was exactly the moment Song Juexiao leaned in.
If Song Juexiao continues to use his special ability to fight him from a distance, he might find it a bit troublesome.
But now Song Juexiao has actually chosen to fight in close combat himself.
Wells said nothing, but fired without hesitation.
