On this evening, a luxurious cruise ship docked at a pier.
Notorious playboy Wang Chong had sent out invitations to social elites from all walks of life, inviting them to a week-long sea cruise luxury dinner party. The cruise ship was scheduled to stay at the pier for three days, and then set sail immediately.
No one knew what kind of trick Wang Chong was playing, but receiving his invitation was a symbol of status in itself. Moreover, many influential people would attend the dinner party, so Wang Chong’s invitation stirred up a big commotion in social circles.
That night, Wang Chong’s social circle was ablaze. One by one, his rich friends sent him private messages, saying, “Bro, how could you not notify me?” “Bro, what are you up to?” “Don’t bother with those useless things, just send me an invitation right away!”
…
That night, after a fierce battle that left him exhausted, Zhushi Jiu collapsed on the floor, gasping for air. Amidst the intense fighting, Zhushi Jiu felt his strength surge, and his body underwent a metamorphic change compared to when he first boarded the cruise ship. Under absolute rational thinking, he didn’t have the notion of pain or giving up, so he could push his abilities to the limit.
As he lay on the floor, he still didn’t forget to check his phone for online updates. He saw a familiar hot topic on the internet – Wang Chong’s invitation had become the top news of the night.
Zhushi Jiu panted heavily, asking the two Black Soldiers beside him, “Won’t this attract too much attention?”
The two Black Soldiers responded indifferently, “It has nothing to do with us.”
Zhushi Jiu looked at them, thinking that they really hadn’t thought about this question. “Then how much do you know that I don’t know?”
The room fell silent.
“…”
These two Black Soldiers were like cold machines, devoid of human emotions. They didn’t even think about the intentions behind Zhushi Jiu’s question. Their eyes only had tasks.
Expecting to gather information from them was like a fantasy.
After some thought, Zhushi Jiu arrived at an answer. Because the cruise ship’s route was too obvious, using a separate ship or other means of transportation would be risky. If they were attacked, it would be a silent death, with no one to care.
Wang Chong’s method of inviting social elites was bold but well-planned. With so many prominent figures gathered, if someone else attacked the cruise ship, it would stir up a big commotion in society and attract attention from all sides.
…
Zhushi Jiu remembered the mysterious organization that appeared in the 11th week. They wanted to keep their existence unknown, hiding like a rat in the sewers before the Black Troop Organization. The later weeks were even more mysterious, with no signs of their existence.
Thinking it through, Zhushi Jiu’s body regained some strength.
He tried to do a fish-like flip, and his body sprang up from the floor like a spring.
The two Black Soldiers silently watched him show off.
Zhushi Jiu thought back to his previous action. He did it quickly and easily, which meant he had gained better control over his body.
“Time’s almost up.”
Zhushi Jiu muttered.
The two Black Soldiers remained silent, not understanding what he said.
He glanced at the two Black Soldiers and said, “I’ll go take a bath. Do you two need to follow me?”
“…”
The Black Soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said to Zhushi Jiu, “Ten minutes.”
Actually, Zhushi Jiu no longer had any shame. If the two Black Soldiers insisted on following him, he wouldn’t mind.
He only wanted to know the answer to a question. But if the two Black Soldiers were present, they would definitely stop him from doing what he wanted.
Zhushi Jiu entered the bathroom, taking in the environment.
First, he saw a large bathtub that could fit three or four people, with a glass window that showed the night sky and the sea. On the left was a spacious washbasin, with unopened shampoo and soap. The bathroom’s walls had clean, neatly arranged towels and other essentials.
Under the washbasin was a storage cabinet, where Zhushi Jiu found a brand-new hair dryer.
In the quiet bathroom, Zhushi Jiu’s eyes were dark and mysterious.
He slowly uncoiled the hair dryer’s wire, found a socket near the bathtub, and plugged it in.
“Not long enough.”
Zhushi Jiu was disappointed.
He shook his head, then decided to use a more direct method.
He took out a toothbrush from the cup, walked to the bathtub, opened the hot water tap, and filled the bathtub in just five minutes.
“Goodbye, world.”
He used the toothbrush to stab his neck, and his body fell into the bathtub, with blood splashing everywhere. It looked majestic and beautiful.
This marked the final demise of life.
The water in the bathtub soon turned red.
Fourteenth week. Dead.
The time was just past 0:05.
In the empty room, a thin report lay in front of Zhushi Jiu, without any creases or signs of disturbance.
But Zhushi Jiu knew its contents.
Because he had gone back in time.
The time point he went back to was not the expected November 6th, 10 am, but November 7th, 10 am.
This should have been shocking news for Zhushi Jiu, as it meant his plans for all future weeks would change. However, he remained calm.
“My previous plans were based on being able to go back to November 6th, 10 am, but now I’ve gone back to the 7th, 10 am. Xu Feng wants me to see the information about the training base… So, the conclusion is that as long as it’s just past midnight, the save point will move forward 24 hours.”
If he died on November 7th, he would go back to November 6th, 10 am. If he died on November 8th, he would go back to November 7th, 10 am.
This was like a save point that updated with the progression of the game story. As long as he could survive November 7th, he could keep the save point at November 7th, 10 am.
“So, if I want to go back to an earlier save point? Can I still go back to the previous save point by dying after the save point updates?”
…
Zhushi Jiu had no fear of death. He wanted to clarify this issue not out of curiosity, but to obtain more information and increase his utilization rate of death and rebirth.
Just as Zhushi Jiu was thinking, Xu Feng walked into the room.
“How’s it going?”
Xu Feng scanned the paper report on Zhushi Jiu’s desk.
“Not done.”
Zhushi Jiu replied.
Xu Feng frowned, his tone somewhat severe: “We don’t have much time. Every minute counts. You should finish reading it quickly and head to the training base…”
“But I’ve anticipated it.”
Zhushi Jiu’s one sentence shut Xu Feng up.
“…You’re planning to use Wang Chong’s private luxury cruise as a cover to take me to the island, right?”
Although it was a question, Zhushi Jiu’s tone was extremely confident.

Xu Feng’s eyes widened in shock: “You anticipated it because I gave you the information, so you knew about the future in this choice? Then what if I made a different choice? Can you still anticipate every choice and its outcome?”
Zhushi Jiu shook his head: “I said before, my ability to anticipate the future is limited. I can only anticipate a limited future, and I’m not sure how often I can do so. If you think my ability can be controlled at will, most cases will end in failure.”
“…”
Xu Feng’s eyes flashed with danger: “I really want to lock you up.”
Zhushi Jiu’s ability was too unreasonable. The originally strict plan was now full of holes in front of him.
Xu Feng couldn’t imagine what would happen if Zhushi Jiu became a member of another organization.
Their organization’s plans would be completely exposed to Zhushi Jiu.
“You don’t need to threaten me,” Zhushi Jiu said. “You know that imprisoning me would be useless to humanity as a whole.”
