Listening to the slightly pleading voice in his mind, Xu Mo said calmly, “I know. Don’t worry.”
He knew that Bai Feifei had witnessed his rewind ability, and at this moment, she likely wanted him to use it again.
He was going to rewind, of course, but he wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to observe a little longer.
Ever since they entered this space and the earthquake started again, he could feel the ground beneath his feet gradually softening.
It felt as if the solid rock structure was turning into something else—something like tough meat.
Which Evil God of the Old Days did this ability belong to? He couldn't quite recall...
The surrounding meat-ified walls pressed inward, forcing everyone to huddle in the center, waiting for death to claim them in the next second.
Ye Yu and the others didn't even have the strength to scream in panic anymore. They simply stared at “Bai Feifei’s” calm profile; she even seemed to be in the mood to poke at the ground for fun!
Was she really that unafraid of death?
“Alright, that’s enough for now,” Xu Mo said in his mind, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
Although he had already decided to rewind, he could still do a little bargaining with the girl before then.
“Do you want me to save them?”
Bai Feifei was stunned for a moment when she heard Xu Mo’s voice, then she hurriedly replied, “Of course!”
Ever since she realized that the thing at the bottom of this coal mine was related to an Evil God, she had been feeling guilty.
“Very well. I can agree to save them.”
“But my condition is that you must not defy me emotionally. Even if I can’t control you, you must listen to me.”
“Even if... it might put your life at risk.”
“Fine,” Bai Feifei said.
The deal was struck. Xu Mo stood up. Just then, Wan Qianhong, her eyes filled with despair, turned to look at “her.”
“Bai Feifei...” Wan Qianhong gritted her teeth, her face a mask of hopelessness and self-reproach.
She felt that it was her own blindness and overconfidence that had led the girl into the mine and to her death.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault—”
“Sigh, alright, alright. We can save the heart-to-heart for later. You’ll just forget what you said in a moment anyway,” Xu Mo interrupted unsympathetically.
Then, he lightly snapped his fingers.
Snap.
The world stood still. The vibration and contraction of the walls stopped. Everyone’s expressions froze on their faces.
Then, the god in charge of time turned the dial back thirty minutes.
The player, Xu Mo, negated the history of this timeline and decided to start over.
...
Even though it was her second time experiencing such a miracle of time reversal, Bai Feifei still felt a shudder in her soul as she watched the world before her collapse.
Moreover, the last time had only been a rewind of a few seconds. This time, it was a full half-hour!
After a bout of dizzying disorientation, she opened her eyes again. Looking at the familiar scene before her, Bai Feifei felt as if a lifetime had passed.
At this moment, she was charging forward with the team, rushing toward the end—a destination of death that the others were still unaware of.
“Bai Feifei, are you okay? You look terrible.”
Beside her, Ye Yu grabbed Bai Feifei’s arm and asked with concern.
“I’m fine,” Bai Feifei replied subconsciously, but then her expression changed drastically.
No, she wasn't fine!
They couldn't keep charging forward; that Wu Xin was lying!
She had to stop them...
Just then, her body trembled, and control was once again seized by the Evil God.
Xu Mo’s voice echoed in her mind: “I said you have to listen to me. Don’t worry, I’ll save these people.”
Bai Feifei grew anxious immediately. “But! Over there is the Evil God of the Old Days’—”
“What’s so special about an Evil God?” Xu Mo snorted, his tone filled with the arrogance of a player. “They’re just a bunch of decrepit, long-dead old-timers.”
Bai Feifei was speechless.
Long-dead... then what are you?
Regardless, she had no choice but to refrain from defying the Old-Timer. She could only watch as Xu Mo controlled her body and continued forward with the team.
During this time, Hong Jiu still smashed through wall after wall, and Wu Xin still maintained his act of being incredibly weak.
Finally, after passing those strange patterns, Hong Jiu once again burst into that massive space.
“What’s going on?” Hong Jiu’s eyes widened as he sensed something was wrong.
Li Gui’s expression was grim as he surveyed the surrounding space, finding it somewhat familiar.
Supported by Wan Qianhong, Wu Xin coughed up a mouthful of blood under everyone’s gaze.
He raised a hand and pointed forward. “It’s right there. In that direction. I can feel it!”
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, but there was nothing there—only a bare stone wall.
“Is your brain—” Hong Jiu’s tone was foul, and he was just about to start cursing when he suddenly saw “Bai Feifei” step forward from the back of the crowd.
She seemed to be humming a little tune as she strolled leisurely over to Wu Xin’s side. With a dagger in hand, she reached down and sliced Wu Xin’s head off.
It was as easy as harvesting a bunch of leeks.
Because her actions were so natural—as if she were just performing a mundane daily task—no one even tried to stop her!
It wasn't until she tossed the head onto the ground that the people around her realized what she had done. One by one, their expressions changed drastically!
Everyone: “?!”
“What are you doing?!” Wan Qianhong looked at “Bai Feifei” in disbelief.
Aries Hong Jiu’s mouth hung halfway open. The second half of his insult to Wu Xin got stuck in his throat, and his brain struggled to process the scene for a long time.
Li Gui was also stunned for several moments before saying with a dark face, “Bai Feifei, killing someone at a time like this...”
“Everyone, shut up!!” Xu Mo took a deep breath and let out an exceptionally thunderous roar.
No one knew how such a slender body could produce such a sound, but it made their eardrums throb with pain.
“Look at me, look at me! Everyone, look at me! Time is tight, I have an announcement to make!” Xu Mo shouted, spreading his arms wide.
Inside her mind, Bai Feifei couldn't help but cover her face. Even though she knew the situation was dire, she still felt an unbearable sense of secondhand embarrassment.
“I am the only true Prophet on the field. From now on, I’m taking supreme leadership. Everyone, follow my lead!”
“We only have a few minutes left. If you don't want to die, listen to me.”
As he spoke, Xu Mo casually pointed at Yang Shuo in the crowd and said, “You look like you have a lot of strength. Go, use your body to brace that tunnel entrance. If the walls start to contract or close up, let me know immediately.”
Yang Shuo was instantly bewildered. He still hadn't processed why Bai Feifei had killed someone, and now he understood even less what she meant by the walls “contracting or closing up.”
