Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 238 Zheng Zha's Analysis

After a turbulent night, Mu Xiang and the others prepared to leave the hotel and head to their next destination.

When the newlyweds saw the devastation in Mu Xiang's room in the hallway, they were all dumbfounded... The entire wall was gone. What had the people who slept in this room done last night?
“We’ve booked five days at each hotel and haven’t called for cleaning, so we can just leave.” Ignoring the strange looks from the others, Mu Xiang walked out first.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiang led everyone by elevator instead of taking the stairs down.

"That's easy to understand, right?" Mu Xiang said casually. "If the elevator has an accident, we can protect you. But if you take the stairs, it's hard to say whether any of you will accidentally fall and die."

Upon hearing this, the newlyweds' faces turned even paler, for it was the truth... Death could strike them at any moment, and for these mortals, death was a constant threat.

Wang Xia entered stealth mode, and the entire team left the hotel without attracting much attention. Mu Xiang hired a convoy, and the group split into three cars, blending into the convoy, and headed in another direction.

"Damn it, I feel like it's dangerous no matter what..." Zheng Zha said with a wry smile, "It's dangerous for them to stay in the hotel, it's dangerous on the road... It's dangerous no matter how you look at it."

Mu Xiang's voice came through the earpiece: "That's the difficulty of this kind of horror movie... It's a classic no-brainer. No matter how you plan, you'll encounter all sorts of dangers that are impossible to guard against. Even if we protect everyone to the sanatorium now and resolve all the troubles along the way, it won't be completely safe once we get there."

"Uh, why?" Zheng Zha was taken aback. "Wasn't this a safe scene in the movie?"

"That's because the intensity is different... I dare say that Death's intensity against us is much greater than that against the characters in the story. So what if we're in a sanatorium? If there were a disaster that could destroy the entire sanatorium, like a fire, or a Boeing falling from the sky, wouldn't we still be dead?" Mu Xiang said sarcastically. "Claire's dodging methods were full of flaws. If Death didn't kill her, there are probably only two possibilities."

"Firstly, Claire locked herself in the foam room of the sanatorium, never daring to leave, which was no different from death... because she had given up all possibilities and most of her connection with this world. So, whether Death killed her or not made no difference."

"Secondly, to put it fatalistically, Claire was destined to die outside the bubble house. She never escaped death; it was just that her time hadn't come yet. In fact, she did leave the bubble house on her own and was taken by death."

Zheng Zha sighed: "This is indeed difficult... I can't even imagine how terrible my death would be if my first horror movie was 'Final Destination'."

"It really is a horror movie that wipes out the entire team... but someone in our team experienced this horror movie and was the only one who survived." Mu Xiang smiled, implying something.

Zheng Zha pondered. Of course he knew that this person was Zhang Jie... and in Zhang Jie's "Final Destination" performance, apart from himself, the Zhongzhou team was indeed wiped out.

Here are two points of doubt...

First, why did the Zhongzhou team encounter such a horror movie back then? According to Zhang Jie, in his first horror movie, *A Nightmare on Elm Street*, the Zhongzhou team was wiped out. Strangely, Zhang Jie seemed to have said that "only he and one other person" survived, but later he also said that everyone else died except for him.

This is a contradiction; Zheng Zha hadn't noticed it before, but now it seems very strange. How could Zhang Jie have misremembered this?
Unless what he said is not true... fabricated content, it makes sense if it is inconsistent.

Following that are *Scream 2* and *Final Destination*. The difficulty of *Scream 2* is incomparable to *A Nightmare on Elm Street* and *Final Destination*, which fits the logic of moving on to easier horror movies after a team wipe… just like how the Central Continent team was wiped out a second time in *Final Destination*, and then went on to *Resident Evil*. But this schedule of team wipe-out movies is too tight… what did the previous Central Continent team do to encounter such a high-level horror movie so frequently?

Could it be that the evaluation of that Central Continent team by the main god is rising faster than that of the current Central Continent team?
Secondly, there was the question of Zhang Jie's survival... Zheng Zha had long suspected this. After several encounters, Zheng Zha had also come to understand the difficulty of the horror films in the God's Space. The God could always find unexpected ways to cause difficulties and casualties for the Reincarnation Team.

Not every team can have people like Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha who grow so quickly and act as babysitters every day. Even if it's not a horror movie where the whole team is wiped out, it wouldn't be surprising if a few people died in one episode.

With Zhang Jie's fighting ability, which couldn't even handle "Resident Evil", how could he possibly survive from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" to "Final Destination"?
This question seems to have been answered in this horror movie. Zhang Jie is indeed not as simple as he appears on the surface... His faint presence in the previous horror movies may even have been achieved through mental means.

But that explanation isn't enough! Even a fourth-tier mental controller doesn't guarantee survival in a horror movie like "Final Destination"...

If Mu Xiang knew what Zheng Zha was thinking, he would be both amused and exasperated... You're subtly criticizing that author's ridiculously bad story about the God-Slaying Stone again. A fourth-tier mental power controller? A flying stone instantly kills him!

Zheng Zha still remembered Zhang Jie's abnormal state after "The Black Hole of Terror" ended... Considering the lack of embellishment in horror films like "Final Destination," he had reason to suspect that Zhang Jie possessed abilities beyond mental power.

“Zhang Jie has never exchanged his attribute abilities in front of us… Is it possible that he already possessed them?” Zheng Zha’s eyes were blank. “So he said that he could save money with us around, but he was incredibly generous when anyone asked him to borrow money.”

"Fourth-tier combat power might include abilities other than mental power... Zhang Jie's combat power must be terrifying." Zheng Zha muttered to himself, "I asked him before if he wanted to exchange for telekinesis. If his ability is really telekinesis or something like that, he's probably at least A-level... He's dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than that idiot from the Beiyan Continent team."

As Zheng Zha pondered this, he suddenly recalled the methods he encountered when facing Cthulhu in "The Terrifying Black Hole." Cthulhu's mental abilities were extremely strong, and he could also convert mental energy into an energy defense layer, very similar to telekinesis.

Afterwards, Zheng Zha asked Mu Xiang what telekinesis was... Mu Xiang replied that, based on current information, there are two types: one is derived from mental power, and the other is the prototype of mental light above the fourth level.

“Zhang Jie… what exactly are you trying to do… how much are you still hiding from me?” Zheng Zha murmured.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha were protecting the newcomers in separate cars. Although they were using a dedicated channel, their voices could still be heard by those around them. Listening to Zheng Zha's mutterings, the newcomers in the same car were initially frightened, then confused, but ultimately felt a little relieved.

The convoy was traveling on the highway when Zheng Zha suddenly heard a deafening gunshot.

"what's the situation?"

Zheng Zha peered ahead and saw Mu Xiang leaning out of the car in front of him, most of his body sticking out. The car window was broken, and he reached out and climbed onto the roof, then casually tossed a metal bullet aside.

"Midnight?"
