Despite Ling Yi and Qin Shuang's cooperation, they were still bound hand and foot and had hoods put on their heads.
They were then shoved into a van.
The vehicle swayed and rocked for half an hour before finally coming to a stop.
The car door was opened, and Ling Yi and Qin Shuang were pushed out of the car.
Their hoods were also removed.
This is a small grove of trees, a small grove of trees that Ling Yi is extremely familiar with, and a deep pit that is extremely familiar beneath his feet.
To be precise, it wasn't Ling Yi who was familiar with it, but Qin Feng.
Of all Qin Feng's memories, the most memorable scene was the one from his first life in the first playthrough, where he was buried alive.
And right before them was the very spot where Qin Feng had been buried alive.
On the opposite side of the deep pit stood Qin Wuyang, sitting in a chair, looking at Ling Yi and Qin Shuang with a mocking expression.
" Qin Feng, doesn't this place feel familiar?" Qin Wuyang asked with a smile.
"The pit is too shallow and too small. It looks like you had someone dig it at the last minute," Ling Yi said, glancing down at the deep pit.
At that moment, Ling Yi felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his heart.
My mind was filled with endless anger.
Ling Yi knew that it was Qin Feng's Obsession affecting him.
But Ling Yi felt utterly disgusted and angry.
In Ling Yi's view, Qin Feng's death was entirely deserved and a consequence of his own actions.
His family ties were as cold as ice, yet he foolishly tried to Warmth them with his embrace—it was utterly ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that in the second life, Qin Feng didn't kill Qin Wuyang; he merely sent him to prison, and that was all.
If Ling Yi were Qin Feng, he would have killed this trash long ago.
He's just a Joker, jumping around in front of me, it's so annoying, why keep him until the end of the first playthrough and send him to be put on a sewing machine?
How can you do that with a sewing machine?
At worst, they will treat you the same way they treated you.
Now you're still Obsession? What an idiot!
Apart from Qin Wuyang, the entire Qin Family deserves to die.
Compared to Qin Wuyang, that scheming man, the rest of the Qin Family actually deserve to die even more.
Even outside the plot, even under the influence of the Intelligence-Lowering Aura" and the plot's influence.
These people from the first life should repay Qin Feng.
Moreover, Qin Feng back then wasn't outside the storyline, but rather within it.
Suppressing the Qin Family's businesses? Rebuilding the Qin Family? What nonsense!
It's not a satisfying read at all; it's frustrating to read.
Seeing Ling Yi's calm expression, Qin Wuyang smiled and said, "I know you're not worried about dying. Even if you do, we'll still be Reincarnation."
"But the pain of death cannot be avoided."
"Moreover, who can guarantee that Reincarnation will definitely occur after death?"
Qin Wuyang stood up, pointed to the pit at his feet, and said, "So, I need to do a test to see if the time, manner, and order of death will affect the Revive rules."
"When did you become so smart?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
In the original storyline, Qin Wuyang was just a manipulative, scheming guy; he had some brains, but not much sincerity.
Look at all those so-called schemes and plots he plays; they're as childish as kids playing house.
It seems that not only Qin Shuang and the others have broken free from the storyline, but Qin Wuyang has also broken free from it.
No longer affected by the plot.
Or rather, Qin Wuyang and the Qin Family members in this second playthrough are their true selves.
Before, they were merely puppets of the plot.
"I'm naturally smart, okay!" Qin Wuyang shrugged.
"Alright, I know the villains die from talking too much. Brothers, let's get started!" Qin Wuyang waved to his men and said.
Just then, Ling Yi exerted a little force, and the rope of the Divine Mountain snapped.
With a wave of his hand, he sent several Big Slap from Afar flying through the air.
"Slap, slap..."
This time, Ling Yi used 3 points of combat Li Qiang, so the damage and destructive force he caused was naturally incomparable to that of 1 point of Combat.
With a single shout, Qin Wuyang's men were all sent flying backward, and then fell silent.
However, some of these people died, while others did not die but simply fainted.
However, judging from the bleeding from their ears and noses, they are either dead or severely injured.
Such an attack causes terrifying damage to the brain.
Even if they are saved, they will either be mentally impaired or in a vegetative state.
It seems that Battle Power of 3 points is still a bit Dali for an ordinary person to use Big Slap from Afar.
Next time, just use 2 points of Battle Power.
Upon seeing this, Qin Shuang's eyes lit up, thinking to herself: You said you didn't have a system? If you didn't have a system, how did you acquire this ability to Big Slap from Afar?
Qin Wuyang frowned, somewhat incredulous, but not entirely surprised.
"As expected, you're the Protagonist!"
Okay, these characters have clearly gone completely wild once they're no longer bound by the plot.
Qin Shuang suspected that Ling Yi was not Qin Feng, but a time traveler with a system.
Qin Wuyang, on the other hand, directly suspected that Ling Yi was the Protagonist.
Although there are some discrepancies, they are all largely correct, and the identities of the Protagonist in their novels are already known.
But thinking about it, it's not surprising.
The novel's influence was too strong in the first playthrough's storyline.
Anyone who has read modern online novels can almost certainly guess one or two things about it.
"Fortunately, I was prepared!" Qin Wuyang took out a pistol from his waist, released the safety, and aimed it at Ling Yi.
Then, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang..."
Seven gunshots rang out in quick succession, sounding particularly jarring in the Lin Zhong.
However, although the gunshot was loud, it was not as crisp as Ling Yi's Big Slap from Afar.
"Ouch, it still hurts a bit!" Ling Yi looked at the bullet in his palm, grimacing slightly.
Ling Yi Ling Yi dodged six of the seven shots, but for the last one, he chose to try to grab it with his hands.
As it turns out, Battle Power of 16 points is quite exaggerated.
It is easy to see the trajectory of the bullet and to determine the direction the muzzle is pointing.
Whether it's anticipating the situation or dodging it after a delay, it can be accomplished with ease.
Catching a bullet with bare hands is possible, but the defense is still lacking. Catching a bullet with bare hands would still hurt Ling Yi a lot in his current state.
Perhaps with a few more points of increased Battle Power and a slight improvement in defense, the pain would be greatly reduced.
However, one thing is certain: Combat of 16 points can only block pistol bullets; it won't stop bullets from Charge or sniper rifles.
It's probably too late to prevent it now.
Ling Yi looked at the slowly disappearing red mark in his palm, shook his head, and then looked at Qin Wuyang.
"You're fucking outrageous! Not only is it like the Matrix, but catching bullets with bare hands? What the hell am I supposed to do then?!" Qin Wuyang tossed the pistol aside.
Then he jumped into the pit and lay down looking like he was giving up.
"Come on, since we can't resist anyway, the sooner we die, the sooner Reincarnation."
Ling Yi: "..."
Wow, this whole thing has completely stumped Ling Yi.
"Don't look at me like that. Knowing you're the Protagonist, why would I resist?"
"Don't worry, after Reincarnation, I'll come looking for you. From now on, whatever you say goes!"
Damn, if the villain wants to surrender, won't the plot fall apart?
Uh, that's not right either.
In the second playthrough, Qin Wuyang's storyline is actually quite short; the main plot focuses on the love-hate relationship within the Qin Family.
After all, Qin Wuyang cannot die according to the rules of Revive, so the Qin Family will not bother Qin Wuyang.
In other words, in the second playthrough, every member of the Qin Family is Protagonist.
They all have a dark theme.
However, because Ling Yi is an outsider, a time traveler, the plot fell apart from the very beginning.
Now, it's even more shattered.
Or perhaps...
It was only because of Ling Yi's appearance that they truly broke free from the plot?
"Hey, aren't you going to do it? I can't bury myself," Qin Wuyang said.
You're even urging me now?
"No need for that trouble."
Ling Yi raised his hand and slapped Qin Wuyang's head through the air with a powerful, three-point -Battle Power -Big Slap from Afar, nearly embedding it into the soil.
Qin Wuyang trembled twice, then fell completely still.
Judging from the amount of bleeding from his ears and nose, Qin Wuyang couldn't withstand the blow and is already dead.
At that moment, Ling Yi, Qin Shuang, Qin Family Qin Zhantian, Lin Yueru, Qin Xiaoshuang, and Qin Wanwan, who were on their way to the airport to board the plane, were all present.
Everyone sensed it; a mysterious energy was affecting them all.
The next moment, everyone, including Ling Yi, felt a sudden darkness followed by a flash of light.
When he came to his senses, Ling Yi was already back on the sofa in the Qin Family villa.
A dozen minutes later, Qin Xiaoshuang pushed open the door and walked into the living room, then sat down directly next to Ling Yi.
"So this is Reincarnation! It feels so amazing!" Qin Xiaoshuang said carefree.
"In the blink of an eye, I appeared at the school gate from inside the villa."
"How did we suddenly Reincarnation in the cycle? Did that Qin Wuyang do something?"
"Wait a while... Ugh!"
Ling Yi grabbed a Taozi and stuffed it into Qin Xiaoshuang's mouth.
"Don't ask, we'll talk about it when the others get back."
Ling Yi recalled the Changes before and after the Reincarnation.
Mysterious energy, an irresistible force, and this force seems to have descended from the heavens.
"It seems my guess was correct," Ling Yi murmured.
"What guess?" Qin Xiaoshuang asked after taking a bite of the Taozi.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but looked at Qin Xiaoshuang. Good grief, after the first Reincarnation, they're not giving her any Regret Points at all, are they?
There is no Regret Points if there is no Regret Points.
Compared to Regret Points, Ling Yi cares more about verifying certain things.
In any case, this is just an ordinary world.
Some things are not difficult to verify.
If you were in a world with immortals or gods, verifying this would be much more difficult.
Moreover, he has to travel through 998 worlds, so there are plenty of opportunities to earn Regret Points.
Half an hour later, Qin Zhantian and the others returned to the villa.
Even Qin Wuyang returned to the villa ahead of schedule.
"What exactly happened? How did we suddenly Reincarnation in this cycle?" Qin Zhantian asked.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but looked at Qin Wuyang.
Then, to everyone's utter bewilderment, he raised his hand to slap them!
