Ling Yi proved one thing through over a hundred restarts and 29 deaths.
Humans are capable of sensing when a life-or-death crisis is imminent.
This is crisis awareness; the more times you feel it, the clearer this awareness becomes.
For example, right now, Ling Yi can Perception that a deadly danger has locked onto him outside the window. If he makes any big move, death will come in the next moment.
Ling Yi guessed that, most likely, there was a sniper outside the window who had his sights set on him.
Although Ling Yi had never seen a sniper before, wasn't that how it was always portrayed in movies? Especially for kidnappers like himself who even had guns.
Ling Yi checked the time: 11:27:39.
Remember this time; it might come in handy later.
Ever since Ling Yi learned that he was trapped on June No. 7, Ling Yi developed the habit of checking and remembering the time.
Ling Yi wasn't a genius when it came to memory, but the more than one hundred restarts had given him a pretty good grasp of the timing of key events in Dafeng City within the last 24 hours.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Although Bai Yunxi was hungry, she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites.
There was no way around it; the gun on the table was just too Gravity for her. She was worried that in a little while, she would lose control and grab it.
"I gave you a chance, why didn't you seize it?" Ling Yi asked, putting down his chopsticks.
"Hmph, I saw through your scheme a long time ago. If I had tried to take advantage of you, I would have been the one who suffered."
Ling Yi shook his head. "I'm really giving you a chance, why won't you believe me?"
Anyway, Ling Yi Ling Yi has to finish and restart every day. How he finishes doesn't matter to him at all. Whether he is finished off by Bai Yunxi or by the sniper, it doesn't make much difference.
Bai Yunxi rolled her eyes at Ling Yi's words. "Do you think I believe you?"
Ling Yi turned and walked towards the phone that was still live-streaming.
After glancing at the comments in the live stream, Ling Yi shook his head.
The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded ten million, but the comments are only from older men trying to persuade the viewers to surrender.
"As long as you meet those three conditions, I will release the person immediately and surrender without resistance. Don't say anything else."
"Hey, beautiful, you're being held hostage by me. What are you doing going back to the bedroom?" Ling Yi shouted at Bai Yunxi, who was quietly inching her way to the bedroom on the first floor.
"I need to go to the restroom," Bai Yunxi explained awkwardly.
"The bathroom is over there. Don't you even know where your own bathroom is? Stop trying to pull any tricks."
I believe that many people now know about the Imperial Venerable Villa District and this Villa No. 27.
Ling Yi said this to let everyone know that villa number 27 belongs to Bai Yunxi.
Well, even though it's not very useful, and even though it will be restarted later, we still have to respect today's storyline.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Ling Yi Bai Yunxi immediately understood what he meant.
This made her even more certain that Ling Yi wouldn't hurt her.
Not only that, it seems that Ling Yi has already resolved to die.
This made Bai Yunxi feel inexplicably sad.
"Why did you have to come back now of all times? If you had come back a few days later, I might be dead. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck."
"What are you looking at? Didn't you say you were going to the toilet? Go now, and when you come back, sit quietly in that chair."
Bai Yunxi went to the bathroom with a complicated expression.
But this trip took more than half an hour.
Ling Yi didn't even need to think; he knew Ling Yi Bai Yunxi was definitely talking to her uncles in the bathroom, and he was just pretending not to know.
It's just that the bathroom window is relatively small; otherwise, Bai Yunxi would probably have already left the villa by now.
It was already noon.
Ling Yi, too lazy to bother with the live stream anymore, told Bai Yunxi Bai Yunxi to sit obediently in front of the camera, and then said to her, "I'm going to take a nap."
He lay down on the sofa with two guns in his arms, ready to take a nap.
Bai Yunxi could only sit on the stool, looking utterly bored Bored.
A moment later, Ling Yi was already snoring softly, which left Bai Yunxi speechless.
Moreover, drowsiness is contagious.
As soon as Ling Yi started snoring, Bai Yunxi also began to feel sleepy.
He sat on the stool, tilting to the left and then to the right, like a roly-poly toy—it was both funny and cute.
A moment later, he slumped into the chair with his head tilted to the side and fell asleep.
She was asleep, but the uncle in the live stream and outside the villa was dumbfounded.
My dear lady, how can you be so carefree? It's a matter of life and death, how can you sleep?
You're going to sleep with the kidnappers just because they want to?
The uncle outside the villa had already reached the window, originally intending for Bai Yunxi to test whether Ling Yi was really asleep.
If they are truly asleep, that would be the perfect opportunity for them to rescue Bai Yunxi.
If you're not asleep, you can take advantage of this moment to find a blind spot and shoot Ling Yi a couple of times. Of course, not to kill Ling Yi Ling Yi outright, but to disarm him.
But now, this woman has fallen asleep, and all her chances are gone.
The uncle outside was pacing anxiously, almost knocking on the window or ringing the doorbell.
One of the uncles came up with a solution: he shone a powerful flashlight directly into Bai Yunxi's face.
Even when a person is asleep with their eyes closed, they can still Perception light.
Especially strong light.
Sure enough, Bai Yunxi's eyes reacted instantly to the bright light, and she instinctively shielded her eyes with her hand, waking up.
At the same time, she also saw her uncle gesturing to her outside the window.
Bai Yunxi glanced at Ling Yi Ling Yi, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.
In reality, Ling Yi wasn't completely asleep; he was just having a relapse, feeling dizzy, and wanted to rest for a while.
If I actually fall asleep, I'll just restart it.
There are currently three main ways for Ling Yi to restart, one of which is to complete the 24-hour period.
That is, at 7:25:30 AM on June 8, 2024, it will automatically restart.
The second one is to restart when you fall asleep.
Thirdly, if it freezes, restart it.
As for whether there are other ways to restart, Ling Yi didn't know, and hadn't tried them.
He has brain cancer, and when it flares up, he is prone to dizziness or drowsiness.
Many times, it was because of an illness that I fell into a coma, which led to the restart.
Fortunately, after each reboot, in addition to the memories, the body is also rebooted, and naturally, the symptoms are also rebooted; otherwise, things would be much more complicated.
If the illness doesn't restart and only gets worse, then Ling Yi will be trapped in a vicious cycle of going cold one second, restarting the next, and then going cold again immediately after restarting.
Ugh, just thinking about that scene makes me feel utterly hopeless.
Bai Yunxi had already stood up and tiptoed towards the French windows.
The uncles are already there, ready to meet us.
In fact, Ling Yi could have easily regained control of Bai Yunxi at this point.
But the dizziness made him abandon the idea; the feeling was too unpleasant.
Ling Yi sat up only after Bai Yunxi walked to the French windows.
He shook his head, then raised both guns with both hands, pointing them at his head.
If a shot were fired, the scene would definitely be incredibly Masai.
Ling Yi knew very well that once the illness struck, if the onset didn't last three minutes, it wouldn't be over; he would remain in this state for at least five or six hours.
Instead of Kung Fu Hustle on that, you might as well just restart.
This scene was witnessed by Bai Yunxi, who had just been rescued from the villa.
Bai Yunxi, who had initially looked Yu Sheng, was now deathly pale, her face filled with disbelief.
However, just as Ling Yi was about to pull the trigger, two gunshots rang out in the distance.
Ling Yi felt a violent tremor coming from the two pistols; the two guns were actually sent flying by a tremendous force.
The next moment, several figures rushed in and pinned Ling Yi down.
Ling Yi's head was buzzing, and his brain was in a state of semi-dizziness.
At the same time, they lost their sight, hearing, and bodily Perception.
Ling Yi knew that his condition had suddenly worsened, perhaps due to the shock he had received.
This is a situation I've never encountered before.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yi finally regained consciousness from his semi-conscious state and also regained his Perception of his body.
His vision and hearing gradually recovered.
Once Ling Yi had fully recovered, all the abnormal states disappeared, as if everything before had been an illusion.
Looking around, I realized this must be a hospital ward.
I moved my hands and feet around a bit, and it was great—I had silver bracelets on my hands and feet. It seemed I hadn't restarted.
Next to Ling Yi sat a middle-aged man, who was looking at him with his arms crossed.
"You're awake?" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Can you tell me what time it seems to be now?" Ling Yi asked.
The middle-aged man showed his phone to Ling Yi.
7:23:17 AM on June 8, 2024.
"Could I put my phone on the bedside table? I want to check the time."
The middle-aged man nodded and placed his phone next to the teacup on the bedside table, where Ling Yi could see it easily.
"You care a lot about time?" the middle-aged man asked.
"What's your name? You've never appeared in my script before," Ling Yi asked, staring at the time on his phone screen.
"My name is Zhao Jun, and I'm the director of the Dafeng City Investigation Bureau." Zhao Jun frowned, feeling that Ling Yi's way of speaking was rather strange.
However, considering Ling Yi's situation, he felt relieved.
According to the Doctor, Ling Yi's condition is very serious, and the cancer cells have spread significantly.
It's normal for nerves and brain cells to be affected, leading to hallucinations, incoherent speech, and other symptoms.
"I've got it!" Ling Yi nodded.
"Although your situation is special, you should still be punished for your mistakes, and you cannot escape your responsibility," Zhao Jun said.
"I know." Ling Yi's voice trembled slightly at this moment.
He stared intently at the time on his phone, an expression of disbelief on his face.
Because the time has now skipped 7:25:30 and arrived at 26:05, 06...
At 7:26:30, Ling Yi felt a blur before his eyes.
When I came to my senses, I was already back in my own bedroom on my bed.
Beside the bed, Miao Yun was still combing her hair. Ling Yi glanced at the digital clock on the wall.
7:25:30 AM on June 7, 2024.
The initial restart time remained the same, but the end time was extended by one minute.
In other words, Ling Yi's time period after restarting has changed from exactly 24 hours to 24 hours and 1 minute.
