Chapter 91 Disconnection (8/10)
As Meng Chao opened the living room door and was about to leave, a thought suddenly struck him.
His brows furrowed slightly as he recalled Chen Zhenghai's behavior and his conversation with him, and a sense of doubt suddenly arose in his heart.
He casually closed the living room door and returned to his study, still puzzled.
At this moment, the ice shards that had been covering the body parts beneath their feet were melting.
Meng Chao took out a pair of gloves and put them on. He went to where Chen Zhenghai had just been sitting and first checked the computer, only to find that the recording function was not turned on.
This computer is quite old and doesn't have a webcam at all.
He then carefully examined every corner of the study, including taking out and checking all the books on the bookshelves.
No anomalies were found.
Soon after, Meng Chao felt relieved, left the study again, opened the living room door, and left.
【Huh? How could this be?】
Looking at the text displayed on the screen of the conversion device, Li Jiuhe quickly understood why Si Mingyu was suspicious.
I'm confused.
After suddenly finding himself in the Y-01 containment chamber, he prepared to reset the mission.
However, just now, the powerful and eerie force that the tracker had inadvertently encountered out of curiosity when searching for his daughter's whereabouts last time descended once again.
This containment chamber completely enveloped Li Jiuhe.
This force has an extremely strong suppressive effect, and its energy level is significantly higher than the capabilities defined in his mission.
Just like last time, the scene that Li Jiuhe feared appeared. For a few seconds, he found that his abilities were being suppressed, which delayed the mission reset time.
This doesn't mean he couldn't reset the mission, but rather that the moment his consciousness initiated the reset, the actual reset was delayed because that powerful force appeared and suppressed it for a moment.
Although the other party cannot completely stop it, many unexpected things can happen in this short period of time.
For example, Si Mingyu on the bed had plenty of time to devour him.
But the truth is that Si Mingyu did not devour Li Jiuhe at that moment; instead, he expressed surprise and doubt to him through the conversion device.
Li Jiuhe smiled.
"Even you can make a mistake!"
As soon as the voice rang out, the mission reset was successfully initiated, and the scene vanished without a trace.
The scene before him changed, and when it became clear again, Li Jiuhe had reset the mission to the time when he was in his bedroom at home.
He immediately turned to look at the bedroom door and saw that the beer bottle was still standing upright, not falling over, which meant that the Soul Splitter had not yet arrived.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief as Chen Zhenghai's words before leaving echoed in his ears.
"Let the morning bell of the 27th not follow you — break the connection — increase your chances of survival —"
So, shortly after Chen Zhenghai left, he used telepathy to tell Erqi Chenzhong that this was a conspiracy and that he had to separate from Chenzhong temporarily.
Once separated, the Two-Seven Morning Bell is fully capable of protecting itself; in its transparent state, it might not even be detected by Si Mingyu.
Then Erqi Morning Bell chose to believe Li Jiuhe and immediately cut off contact with him, then disappeared, making it impossible for even Li Jiuhe himself to sense its existence.
That's why Si Mingyu on the hospital bed expressed his surprise just now before the mission was reset.
Because according to his plan, this step is also a last resort.
That is, if Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai and the others do not go to the shelter, or if they do go there and for some reason manage to escape the trap he set, even if the probability is extremely low, then this last resort plan will be activated.
Even though Li Jiuhe had set up the mission in advance, he never expected to be instantly teleported to the Y-01 containment chamber as the first step.
Even if you react quickly and immediately initiate the mission reset the moment you enter the containment chamber, you will be unable to succeed due to the suppression of the strange power that was set up in advance inside the containment chamber, and it will be delayed for a few seconds.
By the time the mission reset was truly successful, Si Mingyu had already completed the Devouring Plan.
He had already made all the preparations, just waiting for the soul splitter to transfer Li Jiuhe's bedroom to the containment room.
Therefore, he believed the plan was almost 100% likely to succeed.
As for the indelible energy residue left by the soul splitter, how to remove these traces, and the impact these traces would have on Meng Chao and Director Feng, these were not within Si Mingyu's consideration at all.
That's something Meng Chao should be responsible for; after all, nobody wants to implement this last-ditch effort unless absolutely necessary.
But who knew that, as Li Jiuhe said, no plan, no matter how meticulous, could be flawless.
Despite meticulous planning, a lapse occurred. Just as Li Jiuhe was about to be swallowed up after entering the containment chamber, Si Mingyu suddenly realized that Erqi Chenzhong was not there!
It should be noted that he had considered all the problems beforehand. The Morning Bell of the Second Seventh Festival was already bound to Li Jiuhe because the Morning Bell discovered that as long as it followed Li Jiuhe, it could complete a deeper level of evolution.
But who would have thought that at this moment, the connection between this person and this thing would be severed!
That's why Si Mingyu expressed surprise before devouring it.
This amount of time is enough for Li Jiuhe's mission reset to truly begin.
This brought Li Jiuhe back to the initial task of "surviving".
Sitting on the bed, Li Jiuhe muttered to himself, "Team Leader Chen, no wonder you didn't tell me directly that the Soul Splitter would come! You actually made it clear in this way."
Now, as long as Erqi Chenzhong is not by his side, no matter how many times Li Jiuhe is transferred to the Y-01 containment room, the same outcome will occur.
In other words, Si Mingyu will be constantly surprised, and Li Jiuhe will successfully reset the mission after a few seconds and return to his bedroom.
Unless he runs out of resets.
Of course, he wouldn't let himself be put in a passive position twice for the same reason.
Based on the previous sequence of events, the Soul Splitter should arrive in about half an hour.
The living room looked normal at the moment, with the lights on and not shrouded in darkness.
Li Jiuhe entered the living room, looked around, and then came up with a plan.
After half an hour.
The room was quiet, with only the heavy, even breathing sounds coming from the master bedroom.
The person inside seemed to be fast asleep.
A thick darkness spread in from the living room doorway.
The darkness, like ink, first seeped through the cracks in the door, seeping into the door panel, then spread to the middle of the living room, climbing up the sofa, coffee table, and TV cabinet—
Before long, the entire living room was filled with darkness.
The living room door opened silently.
Normally, this door would make a sound when it opened, but after being shrouded in darkness, all sounds in this space have mysteriously disappeared.
A tall, thin figure dressed in black walked into the living room and closed the door behind him.
After he entered, the darkness became even more intense, and nothing in the living room could be seen.
But the tall, thin man strolled around leisurely, as if he were wandering in his own home, avoiding the furniture and arriving near the door of the master bedroom.
The lights in the master bedroom had long been turned off, and the only way to observe the situation inside was through the faint moonlight coming through the window.
A wave of darkness then crept in through the crack in the bedroom door, and the tall, thin man reached out and pushed the door open silently, just like the living room door.
But no more beer bottles were upside down at the entrance.
Through the crack in the open door, the tall, thin man peeked out and saw that the bedding on the bed was piled up, and a person was curled up inside.
A soft snore could be heard, indicating that Li Jiuhe had fallen asleep.
