Rebirth

Thanks to Caifa Ruoyin for the 10 Qidian coin tip. While Zhang Jie spoke with Zheng Zha and the others who had woken up, Ye Siyu watched everything with a cold expression. Inside, however, he was nothing like the indifferent man he appeared to be. He was utterly depressed.

This was already his 156th time experiencing this world—or, rather, he had already died 155 times.

Ye Siyun had originally been an ordinary person. After graduating, he had run a small convenience store with his family's help. He had been no different from the vast majority of people, utterly ordinary.

He had no idea how he had entered the world of Terror Infinity. All he remembered was being so tired that night that he had gone to sleep, only to wake up and find himself aboard this train bound for the Hive.

At the time, he had been immensely excited. As a shut-in who had read widely across all major genres, he had read no fewer than a hundred transmigration novels, including infinite flow stories. Now that he had transmigrated, he thought he could rely on his knowledge of the plot to become a Long Aotian-like protagonist, marry a rich beauty, build a huge harem, and reach the pinnacle of life.

But reality was cruel. Just when he thought he could grow stronger, its cruelty showed him that he was only an ordinary person, and that life was incredibly fragile.

Because he was not a reincarnator, the Lord God would not assign him an identity. The mercenaries killed him before he even entered Dining Hall B.

He had thought death would end everything, leaving him free of pain and worries. But then something unexpected happened: he discovered that he had been reborn. When he woke up, he was back aboard the train bound for the Hive.

The second time, he died before long. Once again, the mercenaries had discovered that he had suddenly appeared aboard the train and had no legal identity. He died only a little later than the first time, when the Hive's doors were opened and they entered the office area.

But to his surprise and excitement, he was reborn again, returning once more to the train car.

His excitement, however, was soon overtaken by the bitterness and pain of death, because he realized that being able to be reborn was not necessarily a good thing.

He died again and again, returned to the train car again and again, experienced everything he had already experienced again and again, and then died again and again. Every time, he could clearly feel the pain of death. And as the number of deaths increased, he noticed that his once-black hair was gradually fading to a lifeless grayish white.

He did not know exactly what was happening, but he felt that he could not be reborn endlessly. If his hair turned completely white, he might really die.

Fortunately, his hair was turning white very slowly. Even after 155 deaths, less than one percent of it had turned white. He should still be able to be reborn thousands or tens of thousands of times, though that was only his own guess.

"Screech!" The piercing sound of wheels slowly scraping against the tracks rang out. The train gradually slowed to a stop, and the plot officially began.

"Phew." Seeing the plot begin again, Ye Siyu exhaled the last mouthful of smoke and tossed the cigarette butt onto the train. Only after everyone else had left did he step out.

If he was the first to leave the car, the mercenaries ahead, who had killed him 137 times, would kill him again because of the problem with his identity. So, for his own safety, he had to be the last one out. This was the perfect way to get through the first scene, a method he had arrived at after dying ten times.

After leaving the car, he ignored everyone else and went straight to its far end to retrieve the thing that could save his life: the case containing the T-virus and its antidote.

"Where are you going?" Just as it had over a hundred times before, the voice of that annoying fat bastard rang out. Zheng Zha and the mercenaries all turned their attention to him, and the mercenaries immediately noticed the stranger who had suddenly appeared.

They all raised their guns and pointed them at him. Ye Siyu was already thoroughly accustomed to this, however. His face showed no sign of panic at having rifles aimed at him. Instead, he calmly pulled his phone from his pants pocket, smiled at the mercenaries, and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't shoot. If you do, boom, all of you will die with me."

"What?!" Hearing Ye Siyu's words, the group looked shocked, just as they had over a hundred times before.

"You wouldn't do that!" The mercenary captain who annoyed Ye Siyu stared intently into his eyes with a serious expression, trying to catch the slightest flicker that would betray a lie.

Unfortunately for him, after fifteen deaths, Ye Siyu had long since raised his proficiency with this lie to MAX. Both his expression and tone were indistinguishable from the real thing, leaving no flaw for anyone to spot.

He had paid for every flaw with his life, correcting and refining them along the way. He had already succeeded 140 times, so once again there were no problems.

With that, Ye Siyu took the locked T-virus case that the bastard Spence Parks had hidden in a secret compartment at the end of the car.

After retrieving the case, Ye Siyu slung it onto his back, looked at the mercenaries, and said, "You can get on with what you were doing."

"Who the hell are you?! Speak!" the mercenary captain demanded, his expression stern.

"You can ignore me from here on. Of course, if you want to make a move against me, I don't mind," Ye Siyu said casually. Then he strolled over to Zhang Jie and the others.

"Let's keep moving!" Seeing how calm Ye Siyu was, the mercenary captain gave him a long look, then addressed the other mercenaries before continuing deeper into the Hive.

"If you don't want to die, let's go. The mercenary captain's getting far ahead," Ye Siyu said to Zheng Zha and the others, who were standing nearby, stunned by his performance, after the mercenaries had left.

Hearing him, they hurried to catch up. Just then, Ye Siyu's watch vibrated, and the number 0 beside the digital clock changed to 10, showing that he had completed a mission.

He swiped the watch screen with his left hand, and the digital clock changed to the familiar mission interface.
