The moment she saw Qiu Ye, memories of the Tianhai City Countermeasure Bureau that had lain buried in Chen Xi's mind gradually resurfaced.
Of course, the most important thing was this—weren't Qiu Ye and Chen Shuo already dead?! How could they be standing before her as if nothing had happened?
By all rights, they shouldn't have been able to escape the Lamenter's attack.
Could her and Lin Yue's departure have caused a butterfly effect?
No matter how hard Chen Xi racked her brain, she couldn't figure out why.
She stole a glance at Lin Yue and saw that she looked just as bewildered.
Mili and Emma noticed that the two groups seemed to know each other, so they didn't interrupt.
Silence hung over them until Lin Yue broke the stalemate. "What... happened to you?"
It wasn't just that they'd come back from the dead. More importantly, something about their auras felt wrong.
Chen Shuo and Qiu Ye were now both Rank Four Transcendents.
"Huh?" Qiu Ye was taken aback by her question.
The next moment, she seemed to realize something and blurted out, "Could it be that you didn't die?"
Chen Xi nodded. "That's right. We left the Spark Federation before the Lamenter arrived, for certain reasons."
"No wonder." Qiu Ye relaxed. "You probably don't know yet, do you? That makes sense, since information spreads slowly in the Trial Space."
"After the Lamenter killed them, all eligible Transcendents were pulled into the Trial Space."
Qiu Ye habitually took out a cigarette and lit it.
She paused, her expression filled with emotion. "As long as we meet the requirements to leave the space in the first round, we come back to life in the real world."
There was actually a resurrection round?
Chen Xi was astonished, but didn't interrupt.
"The Lamenter?"
