"Last remaining time?" Chen Xi was taken aback by her words, then narrowed her eyes.
After a long silence, she arrived at a terrifying answer. "...You mean the rewind quota has already been used up?"
"That is indeed the case." Lin Yue nodded in acknowledgment. "You've vaguely noticed it too, haven't you? The flow of time is different for you and me."
"Ever since Wala's rewind, my time changed because of my complete awakening... Forget it. I'll explain that to you later."
Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She simply couldn't accept the fact.
She took a step forward, trying to close the distance between them and find a flaw in Lin Yue's words.
Unfortunately, no matter how closely she examined her, there was only one conclusion—she wasn't lying.
"How is that possible? Then why, during the last rewind, did you leisurely try to persuade me to go on vacation with you?" Chen Xi frowned tightly.
It was far too absurd and unbelievable.
Besides...
The Lamenter was already Rank Seven.
What she had glimpsed was merely the tip of the iceberg of its true strength.
What was she supposed to do?
The black-haired girl stood frozen in place, utterly at a loss. Everything had come far too suddenly.
Reality had always been unpredictable. Before she could even formulate a plan, the game had already declared itself over.
No wonder Lin Yue had recently seemed like she was hiding some unspeakable secret. All the doubts from before were now resolved.
"Wait..." Chen Xi suddenly spoke. "Then why were we still able to rewind just now? By your logic, I should already be dead."
Voicing all her doubts at once, Chen Xi stared intensely at Lin Yue before her, trying to find even the slightest crack in her story.
