Chapter 611 Preparations
Chapter 611 Preparations
"Blank, I'm honored that you still remember me."
The other party said so, but his face was full of sinister expression.
“Even though this wasn’t the first time we met, I don’t think I ever gave my name.”
His manners seemed artificial, more like a clown's funny behavior.
"My name is Lao Mao. Please remember this name, because this will be the name of the first 'hero' who defeats you."
There was a hint of morbid enthusiasm in his words, and he seemed to be very into the role.
With his dishonorable profession as a bounty hunter, it was not enough to just 'kill' him, it seemed that after the end of the dungeon he had declared himself a 'hero' in the hope of attracting everyone's attention.
Even if he could accomplish such a "great achievement", leaving China aside, forces from various countries might indeed beckon him and try to win him over.
However, a clown is always a clown. If a single success can bring him lifelong glory, what is the point of the efforts of veteran travelers?
Su Yue looked at this clumsy performance indifferently, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Then I celebrate for you in advance. I just remember that you were not this old the last time we met."
Upon closer examination,
This old cat was significantly different from the one Su Yue encountered late at night.
His appearance remained largely unchanged, but he looked much older, as if he had suddenly aged twenty years… Originally, the old cat seemed to have lived for thirty or forty years. After suddenly having the pressure of twenty or thirty years of life, he looked like an elderly man who was about to enter the end of his life, even though the strength contained in his body was no less than that of any young man.
When Su Yue mentioned this, a shadow suddenly passed over the old cat's face, and his whole body trembled, as if he was enduring great pain. What Kongbai said was right, he was indeed old. For him, the day he met Kongbai again was almost thirty years apart!
During these long days, no one could understand the torment he endured and how he survived. But he kept in mind only one long-cherished wish - revenge on Kong Bai!
In fact, he had almost died at the hands of Kong Bai. The power of that attack was beyond his expectations. Even among the most outstanding Circulators, only a few could release such destructive power. If he fought head-on, he would be melted in the energy bombardment in just five seconds.
Therefore, at that time, he had no choice but to use the substitute puppet in his personal reserve, which could withstand a fatal blow and teleport himself to a place a hundred meters away. Although after using it, he would fall into a long period of weakness and his strength would drop by 90%, but for the old cat at that time, being able to save his life was the key! If he missed this opportunity to challenge Blank, he might never catch up with his pace in climbing the cycle tower.
Therefore, he used the life-saving treasure without hesitation. Fortunately, after teleporting, he avoided the blank area and escaped.
However, afterwards, bigger problems loomed.
For Lao Mao, it is even more difficult for him to face an enemy as strong as Kong Bai in his weakened state. Even at his peak, he estimated that even if he increased his strength by two or three times, he would not be able to defeat Kong Bai, let alone his current weak state. Moreover, there is another problem. The core role played by Kong Bai in this plot means that he has a time machine and even knows the secret of traveling through cosmic rays.
In this case, if Blank suddenly crosses the cosmic line, but he does not retain this memory, what should he do? Because when Su Yue returns the cosmic line to the β world, he will also lose all his memories in the a world without the ability of ReadingSteiner, including the scene where he was severely injured by Blank and almost died.
If he allowed the cosmic rays to switch like other defenseless loopers, he might forget the memory of being defeated by Blank. Perhaps he, the stalker who had always been paying attention to Blank, would appear in front of Blank again without any scruples, which would be ridiculous.
However, thanks to his insight into the secrets of SERN's research, he has been mentally prepared for time travel. After the world line jumps from the initial β to a, John Titor, who suddenly becomes active on the Internet, attracts his attention. Although there is information about John Titor in the β line, as a looper, how can he care about the "delusional" netizen who was eliminated ten years ago?
However, this time, paying attention to John Titor brought him a huge reward. [Cosmic ray theory]. After mastering the principles related to time travel, which were likely to be true, he immediately made extremely detailed preparations to deal with the cosmic ray jumps that might occur at any time.
Therefore, after losing to Blank, he hid himself and tried his best to record his A-universe ray experience, including all the contacts and fights with Blank, into the video recorder. Just in case, he also backed up multiple copies of the video and put them in his personal storage. He believed that only the personal storage created by the system could protect these memories most safely.
This is exactly what he deduced, that ordinary loopers have a strategy for dealing with the possibility of repeated tampering of their memory copies - recording past experiences of different cosmic rays through video recording, notes, etc. Even if the cosmic rays do not change at first, if they can continue to record their experiences and find the sense of inconsistency, they will be closer to discovering the truth.
