After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 149 The Truth About Cheats

……

Sheng Yixia has always been an atheist.

In other words, even if there are gods in this world, in his concept, they are just higher-level existences, just stronger in physical strength, mental strength, and even the application and integration of laws.

Therefore, he firmly believed that his system must have a history and could not have appeared out of thin air. It must have a purpose for being attached to him.

Now that there is an opportunity to find out the truth, Sheng Yixia naturally cannot miss it.

After a brief thought, he made a decision, adjusted his mindset, loaded up with scientific inspiration, opened the Super Memory Palace, and said calmly, "Yes, unlock it."

"Ding~ The letter has been unlocked, please check it."

next moment.

A huge amount of information poured into Sheng Yixia's brain, and then his consciousness continued to rise, penetrating the cruise ship, passing through the troposphere and stratosphere, until it passed through the exosphere and reached the vast starry sky.

But the next moment, he seemed to be in the midst of endless violent energy.

The energies had different colors, some were gray, some were crimson, some were bright yellow, and some were blazing white... They were clearly distinct from each other and yet they collided with each other, creating shock waves that seemed to destroy the entire universe.

With his consciousness immersed in it, Sheng Yixia felt like a speck of dust, infinitely small.

Soon, a faint and soft light appeared before his eyes. It was like a candle flame in the violent sea of ​​the universe, swaying and flickering, as if it would go out at any time.

An attraction pulled Sheng Yixia's consciousness towards the faint candle flame. As the distance between the two sides rapidly narrowed, the candle flame grew larger and larger, like a burning incandescent cloud.

The consciousness is invested in it and penetrates continuously.

"boom!"

The next moment, Sheng Yixia's consciousness seemed to have finally stopped after a long journey. He found himself in a bubble-like world. There was an arc-shaped sky above his head, and outside the thin translucent dome was a layer of light white mist.

Outside the white fog is a bizarre and violent sea of ​​the universe. Various energies collide and blend with each other, emitting one halo shock wave after another.

And under the feet...

When Sheng Yixia "saw" the scene clearly under his feet, he was suddenly so excited that he could hardly control his shock.

It was a ruined city.

Most of the buildings have collapsed. Although a few are still standing, they are riddled with holes and are on the verge of falling apart. The ground is full of huge holes, even huge cracks and deep gullies.

The reason for the shock was that Sheng Yixia saw some familiar buildings, and the spherical shape of a huge collapsed TV tower was so shocking.

A building several hundred meters high, full of holes and almost cut in half is a landmark building he is familiar with.

H City!
This is the city where Sheng Yixia has lived for more than four years, or rather, it is only a part of H City. At the edge of the ruins, there is a jagged irregular collapsed cross-section, and outside is a translucent dome and white mist.

As for where the rest of the parts are, it is unknown.

Sheng Yixia's consciousness kept wandering in the ruins of H City. He seemed to want to find some living people, but everywhere was desolate and dilapidated, without any trace of living people. The original location of the Super Research Institute had long been a huge pit, and through the pit, he could even see the opposite side.

The school where I studied for four years has also turned into ruins, and there is no one alive.

soon.

Sheng Yixia's consciousness arrived at Jingchen Huating, which had also been ravaged and destroyed. Only one in ten of the buildings that had not collapsed remained. Fortunately, although her own building was very dilapidated, it luckily did not collapse.

Sheng Yixia felt a little nervous, but he entered No. 1802 as if he had a glimmer of fantasy in his mind.

That's right.

This is his home, with a familiar layout and familiar decoration, but it has become much older, with spots and gray everywhere.

How long has this been?
three years?

ten years?

Sheng Yixia had no way of telling the truth, nor did he have the time to do so.

Because at this time he met a person, a person who was unexpected but reasonable.

The man was wearing a loose white robe, his feet were slightly suspended off the ground, his handsome face had a strong sense of vicissitudes, and his deep eyes had a hint of excitement and joy.

That's right.

That was Sheng Yixia himself.

However, the temperament and feeling of this Sheng Yixia were completely different from the sunny and almost carefree Sheng Yixia. He seemed to be carrying endless pressure and burden, even making his straight body slightly hunched.

See this scene.

Sheng Yixia was extremely shocked, but also had a strange feeling as if one of his many guesses had been confirmed.

Why did the system happen to attach itself to itself during the astral invasion?
Judging from the underlying logic, the most likely scenario is that a powerful being has placed hope in one's life, and the system is here to help one gain powerful strength and resolve the great crisis of astral invasion.

So who chose me?
Was he chosen by heaven? Was he the so-called chosen one?
This is a reasonable guess. When the Heavenly Dao faces a catastrophe, it is very reasonable to select one or more chosen ones to take on the responsibility of saving the world.

So why did Heaven choose me?

Is it just because he, Sheng Yixia, is handsome?

There is a certain logic to this, after all, he is really handsome.

In short, there is no love without reason in this world. The person who has a certain possibility of giving himself a system should be an acquaintance. He believes that Sheng Yixia can do it, or he is willing to believe that Sheng Yixia can do it.

There are many possibilities for this motivation, such as parents, one's own descendants, etc. This possibility also includes one's future self.

This is not uncommon.

Even in the 1980s cartoon Doraemon, the future protagonist can travel through time and space to give cheats to the current protagonist. Why can't my future self give cheats to my present self?

Therefore, this reasonable guess had already lingered in Sheng Yixia's mind.

Although this is just a guess, it does have a little theoretical support.

After all, some of the system's settings, dialogue terms, and the concepts and techniques of various restrictions made Sheng Yixia feel vaguely familiar, and he could even guess what the next data would be.

Of course, all the previous speculations were just speculations. He enumerated dozens of speculations and even suspected that it was the future Qin Weiwei who gave him a cheat. However, this idea was quickly denied. After all, even if the future Qin Weiwei wanted to give him a cheat, it would definitely be for herself.

But at this moment.

It seemed that everything had been confirmed and the speculations had been settled.

No, it's not completely settled.

Sheng Yixia even speculated whether this was a trick set by some evil god, who would first give him some sweetness and benefits, and then lure him into the abyss step by step. Although this motive seemed a little insufficient, what if the Lord of Crimson Moon just coveted Sheng Yixia's beauty?

therefore.

Sheng Yixia's consciousness did not speak actively, but just quietly stared at the image of herself in front of her, which had become much more mature and experienced.

The person on the other side did not speak either, and also stared at the location where Sheng Yixia's consciousness was.

After a while.

Sheng Yixia felt that time was running out, so she said, "Ahem, how can I..."

"In fifth grade, you secretly looked through your father's computer and found a collection of study materials... You were extremely shocked at the time... but you looked through it many times afterwards... In the same year, you had your first wet dream."

"In your first year of middle school, you, Wang Jianfeng, and Zhao Yueyang planned a plan to skip classes, and it was successful. So far, no one knows that you three played games in the Internet cafe for a whole day and night."

"In the second year of junior high school, you fell in love with a girl in the next class, but you never told anyone..."

"Your first time with Qin Weiwei..."

"Alright, alright." Sheng Yixia interrupted him quickly, "You have already proved that you are me, stop it, ahem~~~"

Although it has indeed been proven, it still cannot completely rule out the possibility that a certain evil god has read all of his memories, even many memories that he cannot even remember at the moment...

If that was the case, then the opponent was too powerful, and Sheng Yixia couldn't defend himself, so he could only admit defeat.

Therefore, he still felt that this cheat was given to himself.

After a brief consideration, Sheng Yixia asked, "Your current state should not be real, right?"

"Yes, I am just a letter, a letter written to you by your future self. You can ask me any questions you have, but I also want to ask you some questions in order to confirm some of my guesses."

"Okay, where did our differences begin?" Sheng Yixia asked thoughtfully. "Of course it started when you got the system." Future Sheng Yixia answered, and then asked, "From the year you got the system as the first year, what year and month is it now?"

"September 9rd of the first year." Sheng Yixia said without hesitation.

"That should be before the second stage of the star invasion. I didn't expect your body to reach C-level so quickly. Next, you have to be careful about the second stage of the star invasion that is about to begin. You can remind the National Non-Government Bureau to make preparations early..." said Future Sheng Yixia.

"No, it has already started." Sheng Yixia interrupted, "It started on September 21st of the first year. I have already fought a monster in a medium-sized gap."

Future Sheng Yixia was silent for a while and said, "That's the butterfly effect. What on earth did you do? You made the star realm enter the second stage more than ten days earlier, even at the cost of huge losses?"

What did you do?
I've done a lot more.

Sheng Yixia thought for a moment and said, "It was mainly to assist the Xiadong Branch of the National Non-Government Bureau to stop the conspiracy of the Twilight Organization. Well, they were all killed, and the Twilight Saint who was almost resurrected was also killed. Oh, and a Crimson Butterfly in S City and two Crimson Spiders in H City were also killed... But I think it's most likely because of the former."

After the words fell, Future Sheng Yixia was silent again, and after a while he said: "You are quite efficient."

"Thank you very much." Sheng Yixia said, "It's mainly because the cheat you gave me is very powerful. Can you tell me how you made the cheat? It's amazing."

"The principle of cheating is not complicated. I refined our Heavenly Dao Core that was about to collapse and changed its rules so that it can grant you some special abilities."

“……”Now it was Sheng Yixia’s turn to be silent.

What the hell, what does it mean to refine the core of the Heavenly Dao that is about to collapse?

What did you do in the future?
If I make a random divination here, I will be beaten by the Heavenly Dao. You have directly made the Heavenly Dao dead...

Why are you so awesome?

"Don't worry about it. This is a plan she and I worked out together." Future Sheng Yixia's voice was filled with heaviness. "This is our last hope."

"Your plan is to travel through the timeline to send me plug-ins, but even if I succeed in changing it, your timeline will still fail, right?" Sheng Yixia thought of the ruins where she was.

Future Sheng Yixia said: "You are still very weak now, and your understanding of the laws of heaven and the universe is still very rudimentary. There are some things you don't understand yet, and I can't explain them clearly to you. You need to slowly comprehend them yourself in the future."

"In short, you are doing very well now, keep it up. But there is one thing you must pay attention to at this stage." Future Sheng Yixia's eyes suddenly showed a deep sadness, "Protect your parents, don't let them die again."

"Ah this..."

In fact, although everything that happened before was surprising to Sheng Yixia, it was all within his comprehension range. But when he suddenly heard these words, it was like a slap in the face. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically and his heart began to beat wildly.

"You, you, you, what did you say? Your parents are dead?!!"

In fact, when he saw the collapsed and dilapidated ruins of the city, he already had a vague foreboding in his heart. With his logical ability, he could naturally guess that his parents were probably in great danger.

But his instinctive avoidance made him subconsciously ignore this speculation.

But Future Sheng Yixia obviously did not give him this opportunity, and directly slapped the result in his face.

This caused a huge shock to his heart.

After more than ten seconds, Sheng Yixia finally sobered up a little. He suddenly thought of the words "current stage" and his face instantly became even uglier: "You mean, my parents died in the second stage of the star invasion?"

Logically speaking, this stage will be full of dangers.

However, the star realm is still very far away from the earth and will not have much impact on the earth's ecology and climate.

But based on the current strength of the earth, it should be able to barely hold on.

And given his personality, he will definitely find a way to protect his parents.

After all, there are more than one billion people in the country. Unless they are very unlucky, most people will not encounter extraordinary events.

If it really comes to the point where everyone has to face everything, it is no longer the second stage.

The pain in Sheng Yixia's eyes faded, and he said in a low voice: "After Weiwei and I broke up, I decided to focus on studying and become a researcher. After I started graduate school, my supervisor gradually introduced me to the new world. I have been helping my supervisor and have learned a lot and understood a lot."

"However, a lot of things happened in the first year. At the end of August, a serious incident of evildoing by the Xie Cult suddenly broke out in H City. Later, I learned that it was the Xie Cult that resurrected a Dusk Child. That incident caused at least hundreds of thousands of deaths. The situation was barely calmed down until the National Non-Government Bureau headquarters came to help."

"In that incident, what was the name of the female captain of the original H City Extraordinary Brigade? Sorry, too many people died and it has been a long time. I have never met her and I can't remember her name."

"You mean Sister Fei is dead?" Sheng Yixia's pupils shrank. "Her name is Zhou Fei."

"Sister Fei? Are you familiar with her? It seems that the life paths of people with and without cheats are completely different." Future Sheng Yixia also sighed, "I only remember that time when many people died in the H City Super Brigade. Later, a man named Lei Dao came back and became the captain. I had more contact with him, but he died later."

Damn it.

Sheng Yixia immediately understood that the turning point of the whole thing lies in himself. If he and Tank had not captured Chen Qiang, the daughter of the seafood restaurant owner, they would not have been able to obtain a large amount of intelligence in time and then clean up the chemical plant base.

Chu Zhengming and his gang, who had not been hit, could naturally continue their activities in secret and even had enough power to release the Son of Dusk. After the Son of Dusk was reborn, he was eager to restore his strength and started a massacre in H City, causing a disaster.

During this process, Sister Fei was no match for four people and it was reasonable for her to die. It is estimated that Tank, Phantom Fox and others also died. The future self did not mention it, probably because he was not familiar with it.

After all, the Sheng Yixia of the future will be different from himself. He only gradually came into contact with the extraordinary after he entered school in September. Conservative estimates put it at mid-to-late September, or even the second stage of the star invasion.

"So, do you know Ning Ou?" Sheng Yixia asked again.

"Ice Queen Ning Ou." Future Sheng Yixia nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I know her. I have fought side by side with her for many years. However, two years ago, I mean two years before I wrote this letter, she was ambushed during a mission and beaten to death by three demigods. By the time I and the others rushed over, it was too late."

Perhaps because he had seen too many deaths, Future Sheng Yixia seemed very calm when he said this.

Damn it.

Sheng Yixia was silent.

It turns out that all his acquaintances are dead, Zhou Fei, Lei Dao, and even that powerful branch chief are all dead.

But it's normal to die.

Otherwise, he would not have seen the current scene of the dilapidated ruined city.

In this situation, I'm afraid that most people are dead, and I don't know how many people are still alive except my future self.

"What's going on with this floating city?" Sheng Yixia asked.

"This is one of the exile enclaves after the shattering of our Earth world, and it is also the last exile enclave." Future Sheng Yixia replied calmly.

Sheng Yixia could sense the deep despair in the calm tone.

Sighed.

Sheng Yixia seemed to have finally cheered up and had the courage to face the future: "Tell me how my parents died."

"About December of the first year." Future Sheng Yixia said, "A project led by my mentor, the [Supernatural Energy Fluctuation Monitoring Network System], has made a breakthrough. This project has a good deterrent effect on combating small-scale invasions of the star realm. Since my family has production equipment and skilled workers, I will be the middleman. My parents have decided to fully support this project and accelerate production before popularizing it throughout the country and the world..."

"In mid-February of that year, the Dusk Organization launched 76 terrorist attacks around the world at the same time. The purpose was to strike at targets that were threatening to the Earth's resistance forces. That terrorist attack seriously affected the research progress of Earth's extraordinary technology and killed countless talented scientific researchers."

"Our factory was also listed as a threat target. The one who attacked our factory was a Class B team..."

At this point, Future Sheng Yixia still seemed unable to get rid of his anger, and his voice was trembling.

"Just a B-level team? They destroyed our family? They killed our parents?" Sheng Yixia felt a chill in his heart and his whole body was shaking as he spoke angrily.

You know, today alone, he killed two B-level monsters!
"Yes." Future Sheng Yixia said, "Also killed at the same time was a C-class super team that was protecting the factory. No one could have imagined that the Twilight Organization would attack seventy-six targets around the world at once!"

After a pause, Future Sheng Yixia reminded him, "I know you may be very powerful now, but you must pay attention to one thing. On the surface, it was only a B-level team that attacked our family, but behind that action, there was an S-level Twilight Prophet from the Star Realm and a traitorous Twilight Bishop from the Human Cult."

"S-rank Twilight Prophet?"

Sheng Yixia's face sternly reacted almost instantly: "Did the other party use a method similar to prophecy to deduce the target that threatens the invasion of the star realm?"

Only this can explain why the Twilight Organization can snipe so accurately.

You know, for high-level secret research projects like those, information leakage is not allowed during the research process.

The Twilight Organization might be able to find out some secret information, but targeting seventy-six targets at once is a bit exaggerated, and only prophecy can make sense.

You know, Sheng Yixia would not help his family to connect with Gao Laodeng until December, but he had already done so at the end of August. It is possible that his family has already started to produce some electronic equipment for the National Non-Government Bureau.

If there really is a monster behind that can predict these things, it would be equivalent to putting the parents in danger in advance.

For a moment, Sheng Yixia felt a strong sense of crisis.

"what?"

Future Sheng Yixia was obviously a little surprised: "Have you come into contact with prophecy magic now?"
