November 7, 2045, 9:00 a.m. —
“Good morning.”
Zhushi Jiu, who had just finished washing up, pushed open the door to his sister’s room and greeted Li Hua, who was still in bed.
Li Hua, who usually slept in late, looked disheveled, with messy hair and droopy eyelids, showing signs of fatigue.
“Morning,” Li Hua replied, noticing Zhushi Jiu’s tired expression.
Zhushi Jiu let out a yawn: “Yeah, I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Li Hua checked the time on his phone: 9:00 a.m.
**This novel is exclusively released on Novel App.**
As they sat down to eat the porridge and egg pancakes prepared by their parents, Li Hua mentioned, “Uncle and Aunt must have gone to work.”
Zhushi Jiu shrugged: “Yeah, they must have.”
Li Hua chimed in, “If I were you, I would have told them everything.” But then he recalled that he hadn’t told his own family either.
Zhushi Jiu responded logically, “Without evidence, do you think they would believe me? You wouldn’t have believed me either if I hadn’t predicted the incident with Old Zhang.”
Li Hua put his arm around Zhushi Jiu’s shoulder: “That can’t be! We’re good buddies!”
“Cut it out, stop joking around.”
9:26 —
After finishing their meal, the two of them began washing the dishes. Li Hua seemed distracted, still doubting Zhushi Jiu’s “dream.” Zhushi Jiu, on the other hand, was growing increasingly anxious with time.
“What’s wrong?” Zhushi Jiu asked, noticing Li Hua’s distant expression.
“Nothing, it’s just…” Li Hua hesitated, unsure how to express himself.
Zhushi Jiu sensed that his own anxiety might have affected Li Hua. Anyone who knew that a city with millions of people would be destroyed in half an hour would naturally feel uneasy.
As they continued to guess and speculate, time passed, and it was already 9:55.
“Big brother Zhushi,” Li Hua asked suddenly, “what if it’s not just Jiangcheng that’s going to be destroyed?”
Zhushi Jiu replied, “What do you mean?”
“If this is really the end of the world, what will you do?”
Zhushi Jiu shook his head and smiled: “What can I do? Just wait for death, I suppose.”
His response was calm, but it made Li Hua furrow his brow.
Li Hua asked, “Big brother Zhushi, have you thought of a possibility?”
“What?”
“You might not have just ‘dreamt’ about the apocalypse.”
Zhushi Jiu’s face turned serious, and he realized that Li Hua was thinking the same thing.
At 9:59 —
In the last minute, Li Hua didn’t expect Zhushi Jiu to respond, but instead continued to speak: “If that’s the case… although you might think that my life is just one week long, in my eyes, my life is only lived once.”
Zhushi Jiu replied seriously, “If I can come back, I will.”
The last ten seconds ticked by: 10, 9, 8…
Suddenly, Li Hua joked, “Oh, by the way, can you pass a message to my next life?”
“What?”
“Tell me to hide the things in the third box under the bed.”
Zhushi Jiu was stunned: “What do you mean?”
The countdown continued: 7, 6, 5…
Li Hua didn’t respond.
10:00!
At that moment, everything in Zhushi Jiu’s vision turned blue, as if a blue veil had covered the sky. The two of them didn’t see the explosion in Jiangcheng, but the scene was just as Zhushi Jiu had described.
Ten seconds later, Zhushi Jiu felt unwell. Li Hua suddenly cursed: “Damn it, I’m bleeding from my nose!” Li Hua touched his nose, and his hand was covered in blood. Zhushi Jiu looked at Li Hua, stunned.
**Discuss this novel on our forum!**
Because it wasn’t just nosebleeds. In Zhushi Jiu’s eyes, Li Hua’s eyes, nose, and ears were all bleeding. Although everything was blue, he could distinguish the blood.
Another ten seconds passed, and Li Hua’s skin began to rupture, oozing blood. This terrifying scene made Zhushi Jiu touch his own nose, only to find that it was warm and wet with blood.
Then, Zhushi Jiu felt an intense pain, as if every cell in his body was disintegrating. This pain was unlike anything he had experienced before.
“Ah, ah, ah!!!”
Li Hua and Zhushi Jiu both let out agonized cries and collapsed to the ground. Zhushi Jiu could hear the screams of their neighbors and the entire residential area.
Everyone was experiencing the same kind of inhumane pain.
Under this pain, Zhushi Jiu only managed to hold on for two seconds before collapsing.
He screamed helplessly, his mind unable to think of anything else, and his concept of “pain” gradually disappeared with time.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhushi Jiu’s screams ceased.
…
**Third loop, begins.**
