190: Chapter 190 Future Changes, Death Date Arrived

"Never trust anyone!"

"..."

Chu Xuan rose from the bed and immediately checked his spirituality value; there were 270 points remaining. Since he hadn't died in the final dream last night, this entry into the dream still deducted 90 points of spirituality value.

Immediately after, Chu Xuan opened his phone to check the time; it was 4:30 AM.

"Your spirituality value has decreased a bit. Is this your dream now? I've noticed a problem: you seem to wake up half an hour later each time. Do you know the reason?" Phantom Demon asked.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "You know?"

"I don't know."

"If you don't know, then shut the hell up."

Phantom Demon: "..."

After a moment, Phantom Demon said again: "Based on my speculation..."

"If it's just speculation, then keep your mouth shut. If I don't look for you, don't you speak on your own initiative either." Chu Xuan spoke coldly, interrupting directly.

He was currently playing the role of the dominant party between the two, so there was no need to be hypocritical.

Moreover, he really didn't want to hear too much nonsense from Phantom Demon. It was hard to distinguish truth from falsehood, and it would only disturb his train of thought. The only role the other party could play was that of an Advanced ghost-hunting compass.

Just then, the phone showed a message coming in.

[Tang Zheng: History has undergone a huge change again, returning to its original trajectory. You have become Chu Huan, but this time the timing is Advanced, to around 12:00 PM on June 18th.]

Chu Xuan's pupils contracted sharply.

He still remembered that previously it was around 4:00 AM on June 20th. This time it was two days earlier. What was the reason for this?

Could it be because of the Resurrection Society?

It was already June 16th, only two days remained until this deadline!

[Tang Zheng: You, having become Chu Huan, were wounded by Azure Dragon and fled. On June 19th, you returned to Haicheng and unleashed a large-scale illusion to cover the entire city. Although it does not possess the powerful suppression of an S-rank Specter's Forbidden Domain, it is still a nightmare for ordinary people. Only a little over a thousand people survived in the entire Haicheng.]

Azure Dragon...

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Since [Future Tang Zheng] already knew that the mysterious expert was Azure Dragon, it seemed that the tattoo on the current Tang Zheng's body had taken effect.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan immediately sent a message: [Over these three years, have you found out Azure Dragon's identity?]

[Tang Zheng: Sigh, don't mention it. Although I know it was Azure Dragon who killed you, I can barely save myself; I have no time to investigate this matter at all.]

Chu Xuan's heart sank: [What happened?]

[Tang Zheng: In my latest memory, I've had it too miserable these past three years, worse than a dog, and I'm about to die again... Heh, I actually said "again".]

Chu Xuan was slightly startled: [Is it because you were struck by heavenly lightning too many times?]

[Tang Zheng: It has nothing to do with that. It's because this change in the historical trajectory caused me to miss an important Opportunity that belonged to me.]

[In the original timeline, around 10:00 PM on June 19th, I went to the capital with personnel from the Night Watchers headquarters who were visiting Haicheng, and then accidentally entered a mysterious land on the way.]

[But this time, because Azure Dragon acted early, it caused Chu Huan to appear early as well. He returned to Haicheng at noon on June 19th to start a slaughter. We all escaped with difficulty, which led to me not being able to go to the capital at that specific time, and thus I failed to enter the mysterious land. Many Opportunities were missed just like that.]

[After that, I was continuously hunted by Phantom Demon, and I don't know what happened with the Resurrection Society. I clearly hadn't even had time to offend them, yet they took the initiative to trouble me. After I killed a few of their high-level members, they acted like mad dogs, constantly tormenting me. Being stuck with these two pieces of dog skin plaster caused many of my mission settlement evaluations to be extremely low.]

So that was it...

Chu Xuan could understand the other party's mood.

He was very clear that the System's mission settlement evaluation was very important. The higher the evaluation, the richer the rewards one could obtain. It was an important way to quickly increase strength.

And [Future Tang Zheng] was continuously suffering from targeted interference, which was equivalent to increasing the difficulty of the mission while the rewards were greatly reduced. One could imagine how difficult it was.

[Tang Zheng: One step slow, every step slow. Many crises were survived by relying on the Fighting God Talent, but almost every time it would overdraw me. This made my strength progress slowly, always lagging behind the top tier. Life has been miserable.]

[Fortunately, past me, because you requested tattoos many times, already guessed that I might be able to contact the past you in the future. That's how I've been able to survive like a coward until now. It's really too stifling!]

Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. He could imagine the situation of [Future Tang Zheng]. After a moment of thought, he asked:

[Where is that mysterious land? What details are inside? Tell me, and I will pass them on to the past you, so that you can be prepared in advance.]

Chu Xuan had originally wanted to exploit another bug to let Tang Zheng obtain more benefits, but unfortunately, the other party's next words forced him to dismiss this thought.

[Tang Zheng: Do you remember what I said to you when I first contacted you? Anything involving forbidden secrets not only consumes a huge amount for me, but it will even cause danger to you. Your current level is still too low; I have no way to tell you.]

Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown.

[Tang Zheng: I have sensed Chu Huan's aura. He is nearby. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on this time! Chu Xuan, remember to tell the past me: you must take a plane to the capital around 10:00 PM on June 19th!]

[Even if you can't take off from Haicheng on that day because of Chu Huan, it doesn't matter if you leave from the surrounding area. As long as you travel this route at that specific time point, it will be fine!]

[Chu Xuan: Understood.]

After sending it successfully, Chu Xuan suddenly thought of one thing and quickly typed and sent a message:

[How many people escaped from the Night Watchers this time? I suspect that Azure Dragon is a certain formal member of the Night Watchers. Among them, Zhang Qiang, Luo Xiaotian, Bai Yunfei, and Old Mo should not be him. Ming Xiucheng and Zhao Hongchan are the most suspicious...]

Next, Chu Xuan told [Future Tang Zheng] his basis for judgment and informed the other party of the various abilities Azure Dragon had already displayed.

[Tang Zheng: The people who escaped from the Night Watchers are the same few, and the ending is roughly the same. Zhang Qiang and Luo Xiaotian should not be Azure Dragon, but Bai Yunfei and Old Mo might not be so sure.]

[The black-rimmed glasses you obtained from Xiao Zei should only be the most ordinary level of investigation props. There are many methods that can restrain them, so they cannot be used as a basis. Even a mask at the level of a Constellation Envoy can be shielded, let alone Azure Dragon's level.]

Chu Xuan's heart suddenly sank.

He immediately thought of the previous dream where he wanted to investigate Xinyue Fox's attributes through the glasses, but it was completely ineffective. It seemed that he couldn't target the object at all.

Thinking about it this way, it was not strange that Azure Dragon possessed more Advanced anti-detection means.

[Tang Zheng: As for Ming Xiucheng and Zhao Hongchan... Although Ming Xiucheng possesses the combat power to rival Azure Dragon on the surface, however... if he really is Azure Dragon, then he has hidden himself too deeply.]

[Over these years, he has focused on hunting Specters, successfully protected a group of humans, and established his own powerful forces, becoming a hegemon. In many past world missions, he has also led humans to victory, contributing indispensable strength to the continuation of the world.]

Chu Xuan pondered slightly: [What about Zhao Hongchan?]

[Tang Zheng: She does indeed have this possibility, but if it were her, then it would be too vicious!]

Chu Xuan immediately asked: [How so?]

[Tang Zheng: In this memory, because the people from the capital did not leave, a few more people were saved. Among them was Zhao Hongchan's newborn son, and not long after, I discovered that there was a Specter inside that child's body.]

[That was a Specter that used the Resurrection Society's methods to be implanted into the infant's body, forming a symbiotic relationship with it!]

Chu Xuan: !!!
