Chapter 568 The Answer in One Sentence

After reading the whole article, the amount of information is huge. As an ancient original document written in dead characters, the inscriptions on the underworld have extremely high reference value.

From this, Xia Shou was able to sort out another thread to explore the relationship between the world he originally lived in and the world of the Control Bureau.

Although he didn't like this truth, Xia Shou had to admit that the world he originally lived in was a book, and the past and future he experienced before he traveled through time were all things that had already been written in the book.

Although he was summoned to this world while taking the college entrance examination, a more precise description would be that someone pulled him, who was still a high school student in the book, into this world.

These two statements seem similar, but they are actually very different.

In Xia Shou's view, he was simply pulled here, but in the eyes of the summoner, he actually had many choices. The character he wanted to pull here was not just a simple novel character, but a novel character from a specific period.

If we summon Xia Shou at the end of the novel, then the one who traveled through time is him in his old age. If we summon him in the middle part of the novel, then he should be him in his middle age.

But the reality is, the other party chose to summon him during high school.

Was it a random choice or was there a special reason?
Just now, Xia Shou had asked the scholar who was reading the book "The Season of Falling Stars" in the containment room yesterday. According to the other party, when he was reading it, he clearly saw the content of the novel changed. He saw Xia Shou and their names appear in the novel, and that this group of people killed Liu Yilong at Liu Yilong's press conference.

But when they suddenly appeared in reality, the text of the novel suddenly changed and returned to the original story. Liu Yilong was not killed by anyone.

Liu Yilong followed his original life trajectory, invented an AI program, became a wealthy man, then went bankrupt, and suffered from depression at the end. The story ended there.

This proves that no matter how much trouble those people who have traveled into the book cause in the book, once they leave the book, the contents of the book will return to their original state.

This book is like a game copy that players can play continuously, but no matter what the players do in the copy, once the copy ends, the copy itself will be reset to the original state.

So… strictly speaking, characters that originally existed in the book cannot be killed.

Even if it is killed once, it will be reset unless the person who enters the book never leaves.

Xia Shou thought of something, walked out of the office, returned to the dormitory, then took out the rote notebook and opened it.

"I've been inside the book. I was originally a person in the book. I already know all this." Xia Shou said, "Is this what you've been hiding from me?"

The words did not appear in the rote notes immediately, but after a while, the words appeared.

[Do you still remember the nameless god I mentioned to you last time in the formation of the crescent moon? If you do, don't tell us his name, just say you remember it.]

Xia Shou remembered very clearly the nameless god mentioned in the Death Record Notes. That was the god who could only be mentioned under the supervision of Cang Yue - the secret man.

He is the God who reveals secrets and knows all the secrets that have ever existed in the world.

The Secret Keeper and Cangyue have been enemies forever. Now is the era of keeping secrets led by Cangyue, so his name has become a taboo.

The Death Note also said that once the secrets about him were known, there was a possibility of leakage and they would be found.

At that time, Xia Shou knew nothing about his own affairs, but he had already been found by Li Tianhe and Zeng.

"Remember." Xia Shou replied.

[I said, I don't know your secrets, but I do know quite a few things about you, but most of them I cannot tell or spread, not even in the secret-keeping ceremony of the waning moon.

The ritual of the waning moon is not absolute. It is like a soundproof room in reality. If you whisper in it, people outside cannot hear you.

But the effects of sound insulation are mixed. The secret-keeping ritual I taught you is something you can set up at this stage, and it is sufficient to deal with most secret communications.

But as for the secret I kept in my head, that was far from enough.

If we say that our last communication was a whisper in a soundproof room, then the answer to the question you asked me is as loud as a nuclear bomb explosion. So I can't tell you everything I know until the right time, but now that you know this, I can tell you something, even if it's just one sentence, but if you savor it carefully, you will understand.

You have to figure it all out on your own, and keep all the deduced truths in your head. Don't communicate with anyone, not even a named person.

Now, what I want to say to you is: Please truly advance to the next level again, Lord Xia Shou!

That's right.

From now on, I will change the way I address you... I should say you. 】

Xia Shou opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the last ink stain that appeared, his whole body frozen in his chair.

He took notes and actually called him Lord Xia Shou!

Indeed, it seemed as if it said nothing, but just this one sentence, this change in attitude, and those two words that could not be ignored, had already made Xia Shou think of so much!
Again... does this mean that I have been a named person before?
Combined with what he saw in the book and the notes he wrote during his illness, many things became clear.

"So that's how it is." Xia Shou murmured to himself.

There is no mistake, there is no predecessor Xia Shou, he is those predecessors!
Xia Shou held his forehead and supported his elbows on the table. A large number of clues that had been put aside swept through his memory like a storm, whistling and coming in front of him.

Someone's voice rang in his ears - "Brother Xia, I've become stronger. Even without your help, I can protect others!"

"I won't wear it anymore. I can still talk to you like this... Don't worry, I will get stronger and stronger!"

These were the words he had heard in the memories of the nameless one.

Then, a piece of letter paper from his memory seemed to appear in front of him again.

——【I didn’t succeed…I didn’t succeed…I didn’t succeed…

I'm sorry Xia Shou, I didn't succeed.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry...

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

There is also the sick note that I saw in the book - [If nothing unexpected happens, that person should look like this, and his name should be Van Cleef... You have to kill him, and then Alice can let the Dream Picker Bird summon you back to that world. ]

Xia Shou opened his eyes wide and his mouth opened and closed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Maybe he shouldn't say these words.

He really wanted to confirm it with the Death Note, but he couldn't, and there was no need to confirm it.

It was all him, and the reason why he knew nothing was not because of any supernatural power or amnesia.

It was because the person who summoned him to this world chose him when he was taking the college entrance examination!

In the book, that age, probably before anything happened.

No, that has already happened.

It’s just that in the book, my high school self hadn’t experienced anything yet.
