"Smack!"
With a crisp crack, Qin Wuyang lay down, Bleeding from his ears and nose, and then fell silent.
Qin Zhantian and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Wo Cao, how could you just kill Qin Wuyang like that?
Although I know Qin Wuyang deserves to die, and I know Qin Feng hates Qin Wuyang, isn't this just too damn straightforward?
Also, how did Ling Yi manage to injure someone from Across Space?
Too many questions lingered in everyone's minds, but before they could speak, the mysterious energy reappeared.
Everyone felt a sudden darkness followed by a flash of light, a familiar sensation, and then the scene changed.
Qin Xiaoshuang had already returned to the school gate and was in her car.
"Huh, we're back again? Will this Reincarnation continue forever? What exactly is Qin Feng planning?" Qin Xiaoshuang didn't start the car immediately.
Instead, he stared blankly out the window.
However, she quickly remembered what Ling Yi had told her before.
That mysterious masked man must have to expend energy to send them Reincarnation Revive.
"Is Qin Feng trying to deplete the mysterious masked man's power in this way?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiaoshuang dialed Qin Shuang's number directly.
At this moment, Qin Zhantian, Lin Yueru, and Qin Shuang were all downstairs at the company.
In the first playthrough of the story, at this point in time, Qin Zhantian and Qin Shuang are there to resolve some project contracts for the company.
Lin Yueru, came to the company with Qin Zhantian out of Bored.
Now that the contract was finalized, the three of them prepared to go home.
"What is Qin Feng doing? Why did he just kill that ingrate?" Lin Yueru asked.
"Was the previous Reincarnation also because Qin Feng killed Qin Wuyang?" Qin Zhantian guessed.
"Yes, Qin Feng had already killed Qin Wuyang once before, but Qin Wuyang was courting death first, actually trying to bury me and Qin Feng alive," Qin Shuang said coldly.
"Didn't we agree to do nothing and wait for the automatic Reincarnation in eight years?" Lin Yueru asked, puzzled.
" Qin Feng is probably testing something. Let's ask him when we get back. I don't know the specifics!" Qin Shuang shook her head.
She couldn't understand why Ling Yi was doing this.
But one thing is certain: Qin Feng must have discovered something.
Just then, Qin Xiaoshuang called.
After answering the phone, Qin Shuang said, "Third Sister, let's go back to the villa first, and we'll talk about it there."
"Ah, why do I feel like there's no need to go back? Qin Feng will probably try to kill Qin Wuyang again, won't he?"
Qin Shuang paused for a moment, then said, "That seems to make sense."
Whether Qin Zhantian and the others go back or not is actually meaningless.
Since Ling Yi has started testing, it's definitely not a one-time thing.
Each time Reincarnation, they return to this same place; rather than go back, it's better not to.
In any case, Qin Feng's target for testing is Qin Wuyang.
After hanging up the phone, the three looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
" Qin Feng, why have you become so powerful? How did he do that?" Qin Zhantian asked, waving his arm and making Big Slap gesture.
"How would I know? Maybe Qin Feng, like the Protagonist in a novel, really does possess a system?"
Upon hearing Qin Shuang's words, both Qin Zhantian and Lin Yueru had a sudden realization.
They never read online novels, but they watch short dramas all the time!
The mess that's going on in the Qin Family is so damn messy, it's like one of those silly, mindless short dramas.
Especially those short dramas about adopted sons and daughters, they're a perfect match.
Moreover, if Qin Shuang and Qin Wuyang could guess it, how could Qin Zhantian and Lin Yueru not have guessed it?
"So, are we not real?" This was what troubled Qin Zhantian even more.
Whether it's a short drama or a novel, if Ling Yi is truly the Protagonist and really has a system...
What are they then?
"Could there be readers or viewers watching us from the other side?" Lin Yueru asked, looking up at the sky.
"Probably not. Perhaps in our first and second lives, we were both fake, but I'm certain that we are real now," Qin Shuang said, shaking her head.
Don't you guys feel that we've already stepped out of the storyline?
"Break out of the plot? With that mysterious masked man's Revive rule in place, we'll never be able to break free from the plot." Qin Zhantian shook his head.
"If that's really the case... then everything we did to Feng'er before, wouldn't that have been seen by others?" Lin Yueru asked.
"When I was watching short dramas before, I even left comments and criticized the vicious female villains quite a bit. Now I realize that I was actually criticizing myself." Lin Yueru fell into self-doubt.
"Mom, you can't think like that." Qin Shuang hugged Lin Yueru's arm.
"You can think of us as actors. Before, we were just acting; we were just characters in a play. Now that filming is over, we've returned to being ourselves."
"Is that so?"
" Qin Shuang's explanation makes sense, after all, what we did before was too absurd."
Qin Zhantian recalled everything he had done in his first life and found it unbelievable.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, and these people have been together for nine years. No matter how unscrupulous they are, they wouldn't go to such lengths.
Qin Feng, that's clearly their own son, yet they don't treat their own son well, but instead become close to their adopted son.
What's the reasoning behind this?
In Qin Zhantian's view, the most ridiculous thing was, even if he coveted Qin Feng's shares, was it necessary to go to such extremes?
Ultimately, he's Qin Family, his own son. Once he dies, won't everything belong to Qin Feng?
"Damn it, what kind of brain-dead screenwriter could come up with such a mindless plot?" Qin Zhantian couldn't help but curse after figuring things out.
"Yeah, don't let me find out who the author is, otherwise, I'll type out 'Oli Gei' (a vulgar expression)." Qin Shuang said helplessly.
Stepping outside the story, you realize just how brain-dead you were in the plot.
"So, did Qin Feng think of these things?" Lin Yueru asked Qin Shuang.
"Yes, he probably knew all along." Qin Shuang nodded.
"Perhaps, he killed Qin Wuyang in order to find the real answer."
"So, did Qin Wuyang also guess that?"
Qin Shuang nodded again, but thinking back to the scene where Qin Wuyang immediately fell into the trap after guessing that Ling Yi was the male lead, she found it inexplicably funny.
It seems that everyone has found themselves after stepping outside the storyline.
However, everything she had done before had ultimately hurt Qin Feng.
"Is there any possibility that our family can live in harmony? Let..." Lin Yueru whispered.
"Regardless of whether we are characters in a novel or a short drama now, the harm done to Qin Feng is real, and the harm done to us by Qin Wuyang is also real."
Qin Shuang shook her head. "I feel very awkward every time I face Qin Feng now."
Lin Yueru said resentfully, "Old Qin is right. I mustn't find out who the author is, otherwise, I'll definitely beat him up. He's so awful! How could I be a wicked woman?"
Lin Yueru finished speaking, the familiar energy reappeared.
Between darkness and light, the Reincarnation life began once more.
However, since the three of them didn't move, they didn't feel much of a difference.
"This Reincarnation has started much earlier than expected. I guess Qin Feng is no longer at the villa and has chosen to take the initiative," Qin Shuang guessed.
Qin Shuang's guess was correct; Ling Yi did indeed choose to take the initiative.
After all, waiting for Qin Wuyang to return in the villa would be a waste of time.
Moreover, what if Qin Wuyang is so frightened by his own Big Slap that he doesn't dare to come back?
"No, even if you're the Protagonist, there's no need to bully people like this, right?" Qin Wuyang felt an urge to cry when she saw Ling Yi appear at the classroom door.
Damn it, Ling Yi's slap was loud, painful, and absolutely deadly!
Although he intended to cooperate with Ling Yi, this wasn't the way he would cooperate.
"When did you notice the difference?" Ling Yi asked.
"Okay, let's start at midnight!" Qin Wuyang knew what Ling Yi was asking.
"Starting from midnight?" Ling Yi murmured.
The second playthrough is still part of the story. If Ling Yi doesn't cause trouble, Qin Wuyang and the others will likely remain within the story and won't be able to escape it.
But starting from midnight today, Qin Wuyang broke free from the plot and reverted to his true self.
Indeed, before midnight, Qin Wuyang was still that scheming, manipulative man.
But Qin Wuyang today is a completely different person from yesterday.
However, midnight was only the time when Qin Wuyang exited the storyline, not the time when Qin Shuang and the others did.
According to Qin Shuang, she should have stepped out of the storyline even earlier.
In other words, the time it takes for each person to step out of the storyline is different.
The earlier you interact with yourself, or the less screen time you have, the faster you can detach yourself from the storyline.
For pure villains like Qin Wuyang, or Protagonist, it's more difficult to step outside the storyline.
Qin Feng was originally the Protagonist, but because Ling Yi transmigrated and replaced Qin Feng, Ling Yi is not actually part of the story.
At this point, Ling Yi roughly understood that any character in the story who came into contact with him, this transmigrated outsider, would most likely break free from the plot and revert to their true selves.
It's just that the more important a character's role is, the later they step out of the story.
This means that the second playthrough's storyline is completely gone.
"I understand, let's continue!"
"No, wait a minute, can I choose a different way to die? That slap of yours hurt like hell."
"You choose!"
Qin Wuyang pursed his lips, then directly opened the window and jumped Big Head from the sixth floor.
They jumped nimbly, decisively, and cleanly.
Ling Yi glanced out the window and gave the other person a thumbs up.
Then, the scene flashed, and Ling Yi was back on the sofa in the villa.
"No, do we have to come back here every time Reincarnation? That's such a waste of time."
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang.
The caller was Qin Wuyang.
" Qin Feng, just tell me, how many more times do I need to die?"
"47 times!" Ling Yi thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to come over, I can do it myself!"
"Wow, you're so quick to understand?"
"What you want to see, I also want to see; what you want to verify, I also want to verify; and my death is the fastest way to restart the cycle of Reincarnation."
