Chapter 44 A Sunday Without God
Chapter 44 A Sunday Without God
After completing the achievement of "The King Descends from the Sky and Elbows to the Ground".
Lu Shi ended his short day.
Upon returning to number 9665, Lu Shi wanted to use that power of time to push his existence back to an earlier time.
He committed suicide at midnight, using this vague point in time to obscure the date.
Number 9658, which is May 10th, the day before Xiao Chen died.
On this day, Lu Shi threw out a time coin.
He wants to use midnight today as the save point and start these past few days over!
In the past, Lu Bangyan could never have done this. This time, when Lu Yaoyao got into trouble, Lu Bangyan experienced a lot of fear. This fear was absorbed by the failure of the New Year's Eve event, and the constraints that had bound him in the past seemed to have loosened a bit.
That's why Lu Shi decided to take a risk this time.
This can be considered an attempt.
The past changes at this moment because of Lu Shi's thoughts.
If someone had the ability to observe timelines, they would discover that in that long-fixed past timeline, there is a creature that resembles a worm or a young snake struggling desperately.
The duration of the wriggling did not have a significant impact on the real world.
But there will still be some impact.
An indescribable sense of erosion is rapidly spreading through the past.
Around the world, some beings hidden among the crowds, hidden in the unseen realms, simultaneously raised their heads, as if observing distant stars, as if gazing at starlight, or as if observing shadows of the past.
Some people have even jumped out of Earth to observe the starry sky.
Then he was horrified to discover that some phantoms had appeared in the starry sky.
Looking at those illusory figures, he connected them together and obtained a trajectory.
In that instant, he understood what this trajectory was.
A little-known fact: the sun is not stationary. In fact, while the Earth revolves around the sun, it is also being dragged along by the sun to revolve around the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
So those phantom images actually represent the location of the solar system "a few days ago".
Of course, this is only because his observational ability is limited. If his macroscopic observational ability were further enhanced, he would even be able to see the galaxy's phantom image in the same position as a few days ago.
After all, the Milky Way is also moving at a high speed. Compared to the cosmic microwave background radiation, the Milky Way's speed is about 627 kilometers per second.
He felt fear in the face of something of this magnitude.
However, those phantoms quickly disappeared.
At that moment, he understood that it was not a real phantom appearing in the universe, recreating the past.
Rather, it is a reflection from some layer of time, an impact on the observer.
The source of that thing was of an extremely high level, but its magnitude was not that terrifying.
Having understood this, he suppressed his fear and looked down at the entire Earth.
"Are those things really about to wake up?"
"Was someone among them the one who instigated this incident?"
No one could answer his question.
The world seems to have returned to normal, yet it also seems to have changed slightly.
-----------------
Number 9659, which translates to May 11th, Monday, Lu Shi, lying in bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He was breathing heavily, his body covered in sweat, and an indescribable pain was surging through his body.
"Hahahaha!" However, at this moment, Lu Shi was laughing wildly despite feeling pain.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in apartment 902 is quite good; otherwise, the property management would probably have issued a warning very soon.
Lu Shi's attempt should have ended in failure.
He really was just a juvenile.
In this attempt, Lu Shi discovered that he probably needed to reach the somewhat special time point of number 10000 in order to complete the initial growth and leave the infancy stage through the accumulation of time.
However, it was at that time that Lu Shi made his own choice.
One coin was bounced up.
Time coins, minted by Lu Shi using the power of time, have one side resembling a moving clock hand, and the other side a blurry image.
The next moment, a torrent of coins poured out of the dark delivery room.
Inside the delivery room, the baby on the operating table was still sucking its umbilical cord in the darkness.
That deep, dark darkness seemed to be the origin of time itself.
Lu Shi's accumulated currency has always been summed up in two words: enough.
More than 300 Time Coins were directly consumed in the process, and as a price, some high-quality fears flooded in at the critical moment, which allowed Lu Shi to acquire the derivative ability that he would only be able to have after leaving the infancy stage 10,000 days in advance.
Its name is—week.
Or rather—a Sunday without God!
On Sundays, by committing suicide as a ritual and consuming corresponding time coins, Lu Shi can reverse the time of the past seven days and return to any day of the week.
At this moment, Lu Shi returned to Monday.
Lu Shi sat up and began to quickly compose himself.
His use of 'Week' this time was still too forced; the feeling of being squeezed by time and space was still causing him phantom pain.
That's not a big problem; it's just painful, but you can get used to it and bear it.
The key is the 'script'.
While the new ability to save the game every weekday breaks the previous limitation of only being able to save one second before midnight of the latest day, it also brings new problems.
If it's just one day, then the script inertia brought about by the time correction force isn't actually that difficult to deal with.
But this time he returned from Sunday to Monday, and the seven-day period made the power of the script formed by the time correction force much stronger.
Although limited by the diminishing marginal utility, it doesn't double every day, but it's still more than three times stronger than a normal day's script power.
This time, in particular, it involves a key juncture in a major event in Changshi.
If Xiao Chen doesn't die, Zhou Jianye won't be able to complete the simulated terror of weapon anomalies, and he won't self-destruct in an attempt to actively open the erosion domain.
Then many things will change as a result.
The causes and effects are significant, and to reverse them, a clear understanding of what will happen next is necessary.
This morning, I taught Wang Zijian three key points for simulating horror.
Around 11 o'clock, something unusual happened on Dadong Street, and the police officers around Gao Mi were transferred away.
Everything took a sharp turn for the worse from here.
He needs to make arrangements as early as possible, and while following the script, he needs to place wedges in several key places.
The script appears to be progressing steadily, but it is then pulled away at a crucial moment, causing it to collapse.
Lu Shi pondered various future scenarios and his plans for how he should proceed.
Various ideas kept emerging, and of those that were likely to be realized, Lu Shi adopted them as options, while most of them were abandoned by Lu Shi.
Of course, the specific situation will depend on how the script revisions will unfold over time.
A night passed, and just before seven o'clock, just before the alarm clock on the bedside table rang, Lu Shi reached out and interrupted him.
Afterwards, Lu Shi rode the motorcycle he had just bought yesterday straight to the Metaphysics Club!
