Chapter 614: Instant Kill Without Warning
In addition, there is another point that is also very suspicious. Xia Shou doesn’t know whether this is a coincidence.

That is, the end point of the dead line is exactly at a distance where he cannot pay the price even if he goes back once.

To achieve this, there are several prerequisites that need to be met.

First, you need to know his exact location and the time when he is about to launch [Self-Destruction]. Otherwise, launching it from too far away will be ineffective.

Second, the other party must also know the details of the price of [seeking death]. If they don’t even know the price, it is impossible to set a trap based on the price.

Based on the first premise, two more possibilities can be derived.

The first one is that the trap is set in advance, and the opponent knows exactly when and where he will launch the [self-destructive] move.

This means that the other party has the ability to predict the future.

The second is that the trap is set temporarily.

If we follow this line of reasoning, although the other party cannot predict the future, we can easily observe whether he has used [Self-Destruction].

Although the self-destructive backtracking can be observed by the Deep Diver using the instantaneous change in the depth of the Root Sea, the problem now is that he has not even initiated the backtracking!

In other words, if the other party cannot predict the future, then he can perfectly predict when he will launch a self-destructive attack and set a trap at the most appropriate location in a very short time.

Many people know that they are seeking their own death. Death Notes, Shangguan Yan, Su Weiyu and Su Yue all know it, but there may not be anyone who can observe it in real time.

At most the minister may be able to do it, but no one else can.

But the minister couldn't possibly do that to him.

To put it bluntly, if the minister really wanted to deal with him, he could easily kill him.

Not to mention that the minister holds so many secrets about him, and even if he uses a knife to kill someone, the Control Bureau can lock him up. Even if he uses force, Xia Shou doesn't think he has any chance of winning.

Although most of what happened in Vogt was forgotten, the information recorded in Vogt's journal was enough to prove that the Minister's fighting ability was overwhelmingly stronger than his.

So who else is there?

Someone who knows his secrets, like a dictated note, who already knows them without him telling.

Xia Shou was stunned, his face showing an expression of extreme surprise and sudden enlightenment.

It's that traitor!
According to what Sibi said, he also had companions when he traveled to this world before.

But in the end, there was a traitor among them!

The next second, Xia Shou entered the death replay and came to a void where he chose to replay time.

"what?"

Xia Shou looked confused.

Is he... dead?
He died without any memory, and the person who killed him didn't even give him time to react.

This means that it was not a beheading, but the other party directly destroyed his brain and killed him.

But this is not right!
The most dangerous dead line under his feet has not yet arrived, and in the last moment of his memory, he has not approached it, let alone moved. The other dead lines pose no threat to him at all, and in the last moment of his memory, they have not tended to get closer, and the degree of danger has not changed at all.

In this situation, nothing could cause him such fatal damage and kill him in an instant.

What happened before the backtracking?
Xia Shou vaguely felt that he could not continue to stay in this void to think. He felt like he was about to be washed away in the river. He had to choose a point to go back to immediately.

Xia Shou did not hesitate and chose the time that was just beginning to lead to his own death.

calm.

You have to stay calm at times like this.

Xia Shou looked carefully at the red lines under his feet, his brain thinking rapidly.

He was sure that the enemies hiding in the dark already knew that he had gone back.

The other party even knew the time when he launched the self-destructive attack, so it is impossible that he did not know about the backtracking phenomenon that can be discovered through the change in the depth of the root sea. Xia Shou concluded that the first instant kill without any signs was a trap set by the other party for him!

The mastermind behind the scenes had deliberately and carefully set up all of this in order to conceal the means of instant killing.

Xia Shou once again called up the skill panel of Seeking Death and read the information on it in detail -

[Price: You can only choose the most dangerous path to move forward, and move forward at least 100 meters, and you cannot turn back.

When the danger level of the location reaches a lethal level, there is no need to move forward. The cost is changed to staying within the skill circle for ten minutes.

This power needs to cool down for 24 hours. 】

If the position where he is standing now has reached a lethal level, he doesn't need to move forward.

Xia Shou had experienced this situation when he encountered the Blood Demon in the Blood Demon's House. The hint that he didn't need to move forward was very obvious. It was a feeling that clearly told him that his current position was enough to kill him.

But just now, he did not reach the end, nor did he feel that he was in danger of death.

Not fatal, but dead...

How did the other party do it?
While his brain was working frantically, Xia Shou activated the Impermanence Eyes and said, "Alice, seize the vision of everyone within range."

As he spoke, Xia Shou took Dorian Gray's pocket watch from his pocket and pressed the button.

As Alice's ability was activated, a large number of visions filled Xia Shou's field of vision. In addition to his own vision, which occupied the largest area like the main screen, the visions of other passers-by were distributed around him like small split screens, automatically expanding and shrinking as Xia Shou's attention changed.

"Is there nothing that cannot be taken away?" Xia Shou asked coldly.

"Only Mr. Edward can't do it." Alice replied softly.

"Really?" Xia Shou frowned even more tightly.

He did not activate the Scorpion Spine, but used his own first-level ability to explore the surroundings. If there were any extraordinary people of level 2 or above around, they would be discovered by Alice.

But the result is no.

No way... Could it be that LV1 killed him instantly?

What a joke.

Xia Shou held his pocket watch tightly and looked around alertly.

Edward once again noticed something strange about Xia Shou and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Prepare for battle." Xia Shou said in a low voice.

Xia Shou could feel the adrenaline in his body being secreted crazily. Not only adrenaline, but all the stress hormones were being secreted.

His reaction speed has increased to a level far beyond that of ordinary people, and his sympathetic nerves are extremely active.

If a doctor came to examine Xia Shou at this time, he would find that many of the indicators in his body had reached the lethal level, but under the coordination of multiple side effects, a certain balance was inexplicably achieved.

I was sweating a little and my heart was beating so fast that my throat was beating.

He was concentrating to the utmost and had even used a pocket watch as insurance against risk.

To be honest, Xia Shou was very hesitant about whether to use the Blood Demon Mask in advance.

If you use the Blood Demon Mask, the defensive effect is better than a pocket watch, and you can still survive even if you are shot in the head.

But the problem is that the Blood Demon Mask has a limited duration, and the enemy is in the dark, so we can fight a protracted war.

The mask is his biggest trump card, and it cannot be easily taken out at this stage.

Just rely on the purest physical reaction to deal with the next attack. As long as you can react, you can use [Flash Kill] to teleport away!
