No. 13 said, "I can't be sure if the Administration can cause trouble in the Ghost World, so it's better to delay the discovery of our feigned death as much as possible."
Hu Jiu nodded; that reason made sense.
Seeing that Hu Jiu had no intention of stopping them, No. 13 grabbed No. 52 and started to retreat.
Although he originally wanted to have No. 52 fake his death to scout ahead, he didn't expect Hu Jiu to suddenly appear. With no other option, he had to change his plan and simply fake his death along with Number 52.
Hu Jiu did not stop them. At this moment, No. 13 was not a weakling that could be easily crushed, and he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Similarly, No. 13 didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
After numbers No. 13 and No. 52 left, Hu Jiu also disappeared.
All three left before the other Executor arrived. They had received a distress signal earlier, but upon arriving, they only found two corpses.
Logically speaking, the Executor of the Time Management Bureau shouldn't be afraid of death at all, because they will return during the next Rollback.
But this time was different; there was no Time Fierce Ghost in the corpses of No. 13 and No. 52!
In theory, after the Ghost Tamer dies, the Fierce Ghost will revive on the Ghost Tamer's corpse, so even if the Executor dies, there will be no impact after the Rollback.
However, the Time Ghosts within No. 13 and No. 52 have vanished, which means that even if they are resurrected after the Rollback, they will most likely no longer be qualified to act as Executor.
Even Executor No. 13, who was among the earlier numbered agents, was killed, and the other Executor saw his body were somewhat panicked.
Seeing the peach blossoms around them, ready to bloom, they immediately ran away.
The Ghost World.
Next to an abandoned, haunted building stood three men: No. 13, No. 52, and Hu Jiu.
"Mr. Hu, why did you follow us here?" No. 13 asked, his expression displeased.
Hu Jiu asked directly, "You've already left your original world and are no longer bound by its constraints. So, can you tell me some secrets about the Time Management Bureau? At least I want to know the key to the Administration's 'Rollback'..."
After a moment of silence, No. 13 said to Hu Jiu, "I don't know much about this either. I only know that the core of the 'Rollback' is controlled by the top five Executor."
"Executor 1 through 5 were the Executor of the Time Management Bureau and used to be very active. However, during the 123rd Rollback, a major event occurred in the Administration, and they became less visible, only issuing orders to outsiders."
Hu Jiu pressed, "What major event has occurred?"
Since No. 13 had already chosen to betray, he had no more scruples and revealed everything he knew. "It was a World-Ending Level Fierce Ghost that fought against the Administration's higher-ups and almost perished together with them."
"Perish together?!"
Hu Jiu's eyes lit up. What kind of Fierce Ghost could have almost brought down the behemoth that was the Time Management Bureau?
"Can you tell me everything you know?" Hu Jiu stared intently at No. 13. He had thought he would have to use some tricks to get No. 13 to talk, but he didn't expect No. 13 to be so proactive.
No. 13 nodded and said, "Of course, I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability."
If Hu Jiu could cause the Administration some trouble, that would be even better.
"Mr. Hu, you should know that the Time Management Bureau has always held an absolute dominant position in this world. However, when the Rollback accumulates to a certain level, a World-Ending Level Fierce Ghost will inexplicably be born."
"During the 123rd Rollback, a super-powerful Fierce Ghost codenamed 'God' appeared."
Hu Jiu's eyes flickered slightly. "God?"
No. 13 shook his head and said, "'God' is actually just a title; His specific image and real title have all been obscured."
"God" possesses Omniscience and Omnipotence and omnipotence, and can feed on faith, just like the legendary True God born from faith.
"The existence of 'God' is quite unique; it is both a concept and a physical entity, and it is suspected of possessing a high degree of intelligence."
"Therefore, even if countless powerful Ghost Tamers acted simultaneously, they could not completely contain the 'god,' and could only watch as He continuously differentiated into vengeful Fierce Ghost with Omniscience or Omnipotence characteristics, wreaking havoc in each subsequent Rollback."
"Theoretically, due to the butterfly effect, each Rollback should have subtle differences from the previous Rollback. However, since the 'god' appeared and was fragmented and scattered, the butterfly effect has been amplified a thousandfold."
"The 'variables' are becoming increasingly exaggerated, indirectly accelerating the birth of world-destroying Fierce Ghost, thus leading to a higher and higher frequency of Rollbacks. If this continues, Rollbacks will lose their meaning, and the Time Management Bureau will also face the risk of destruction."
"However, the Time Management Bureau is helpless in the face of this dilemma, and can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, trying its best to eliminate the 'variables' that have already occurred, but unable to change the root cause that leads to the increase of 'variables'."
Hu Jiu suddenly realized, "I understand."
Perhaps I am one of the variables.
Hehe~
If Heaven created me as a variable, I must be a good one to that variable!
No. 13 also revealed many secrets of the Administration, leaving No. 52 dumbfounded. The betrayal was so smooth!
Hu Jiu nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your cooperation, but I have one last thing I need your help with..."
