“Apocalypse survival fanatic??”
Lin Xu was a bit stunned.
This did not match the image of Skull Head’s wife that he had pieced together from the information obtained from Skull Head and other team mbers earlier.
To be honest, from those sowhat one-sided descriptions, Skull Head’s wife was just a pure bitch.
Vain, materialistic, and promiscuous.
She pressured Skull Head to take on more high-risk missions for more money. Lin Xu even suspected at one point that Skull Head gave up on legal PMC work and took on this mission with Lin Xu because his wife was pushing him behind the scenes.
But now it seed...
It wasn’t that simple?
While staring at the data on the screen, trying to morize everything, Lin Xu asked,
“So what exactly is your wife’s situation? If it’s confird to be related to Planetary Reincarnation, we will consider cracking down on these illegal activities.”
Lin Xu spoke with an air of righteousness and authority, as if he truly held the iron fist of truth.
Seeing his expression, Skull Head also firmly believed it.
After all, what he had shown in just the past twenty minutes had indeed cast a mysterious shadow over his identity.
So, without suspicion, Skull Head, acting like a helpful citizen, provided Lin Xu with clues.
“It’s actually not that complicated.”
“My wife used to be very normal—like a perfectly ordinary wife.”
“She worried about getting injured while working outside, managed our household, and planned for our future.”
“Like how many kids to have, where to settle down, how to educate the kids.”
“But later, I don’t even know when, she suddenly changed.”
“She lost interest in many things and beca obsessed with apocalypse survival.”
At this point, Skull Head paused slightly, as if recalling carefully.
“She turned our ho into a ‘fortress’ and spent a lot of money on it.”
“She decided not to have children anymore and even secretly took birth control pills when I wasn’t paying attention.”
“She always talked about things I couldn’t understand—so prophecy, so extra-dinsional experience.”
“At first, I thought she joined so spiritual cultivation class, but then I gradually felt sothing was off.”
“It seed like she was sick...”
Skull Head’s tone was low and filled with regret. Lin Xu could tell that he truly loved his wife.
But...
Your wife doesn’t necessarily love you!
You’re not just wearing a green hat, you’re basically a walking green light!
“Anything else?”
Lin Xu asked.
“Besides that...”
Skull Head pondered for a mont, then continued,
“She has severe self-destructive tendencies, including self-harm and so extrely reckless behaviors.”
“She even tried to convince to take her to join a PMC—no, she wanted to join even more dangerous illegal rcenary missions.”
“After I refused, she started... indulging herself.”
“Parties, drugs, alcohol...”
“I always felt like she had so ntal problem.”
“Maybe depression?”
“Forget it.”
Lin Xu shrugged.
“I think you should check if your wife got involved with so feminist ideology instead.”
“No way.”
Skull Head said firmly.
“I know her better than anyone else.”
“Her change happened in an instant—that so-called ‘prophecy’ she kept talking about.”
“I don’t understand what it is, and she couldn’t really explain it to either.”
“But anyway... we used to be absolutely, absolutely loyal and happy spouses.”
“But that happiness seed to be destroyed in an instant.”
“I seriously suspect so illegal organization brainwashed her.”
“If this clue is valuable, I hope you can... help .”
“Understood.”
Lin Xu let out a gentle breath.
At this mont, only two minutes remained.
He had morized everything he needed. Taking advantage of the last monts, he turned to Skull Head and said,
“What you’re saying is indeed strange.”
“This instant change—do you an she woke up one day and beca a different person?”
“Exactly.”
Skull Head nodded.
“So the so-called prophecy—is that what she told you early the next morning?”
“No. At first, she didn’t know it was a prophecy. She was just very scared and confused.”
Skull Head recalled carefully.
“She only called that strange experience a prophecy much later.”
“What kind of experience?”
Lin Xu glanced at his watch.
One minute left.
“She still hasn’t clearly described it to .”
“She just told that at one mont, she disappeared.”
“‘I took a step forward and saw my own back,’ ‘I ran ten thousand ters and nothing changed,’ ‘I saw everything, but couldn’t rember any of it.’”
“That’s how she described it to .”
“And... she told she’s not the only one who had this experience.”
“Not the only one?”
Lin Xu frowned.
At this point, things began to feel wrong.
But there was no ti.
Only ten seconds left.
“No ti.”
Lin Xu said,
“Your wife was right. The apocalypse is about to happen.”
“If you don’t die imdiately, tell the most important information you can think of!”
“Right now!”
A flash of white light passed.
Lin Xu grabbed Skull Head’s shoulders tightly without letting go.
And at the last mont, the other party shouted,
“No matter what you say, she’s definitely not a bitch!”
.......
Darkness receded. Lin Xu opened his eyes from the bed.
He sighed helplessly and rubbed his slightly swollen head.
This trip in was originally just to copy data, but unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
Skull Head’s wife really wasn’t a born slut—this also explained why despite getting so much unfavorable information about her from others, he still showed consistent affection and love.
Theoretically speaking, this was just because her absurd behaviors hadn’t yet consud all the “emotional savings” between them.
---- Of course, for Lin Xu, cheating was unforgivable.
No matter what the reason was, it could not be used as an excuse.
But Lin Xu had to admit, behind Skull Head’s wife’s change, there might really be sothing hidden.
“Taking a step forward and seeing the back?”
“Seeing everything but rembering nothing?”
Such slightly mystical descriptions...
Could they also be related to the real apocalypse?
After all, she really believed there was an apocalypse, and it was indeed happening.
Better write it down first.
Lin Xu opened his computer and updated his docunt with the information he rembered from the two materials.
This ti he had relatively ample ti and recorded more information.
The docunt was over 90% complete; after one last entry, it could be fully finished.
Then Lin Xu updated the “clues” docunt with the information obtained from Skull Head.
The main recorded keywords were [Prophecy] and [Extra-dinsional Experience].
After finishing everything, Lin Xu glanced at his phone; it was only 9:30.
By this ti, Jiang Xingye’s ssage had already co half an hour ago.
Jiang Xingye:
“Want to grab a late-night snack?”
...Again?
Lin Xu hesitated for a mont, then typed back:
“Sure.”
“Coming downstairs in a bit.”
“By the way, I want to ask you sothing.”
“If soone says she ‘took a step forward and saw her own back,’ what kind of experience would that be?”
Lin Xu sent this ssage to Jiang Xingye simply because she was also a woman; maybe she could understand the deeper aning behind this strange description.
But Jiang Xingye’s reply surprised him.
“When did you beco interested in General Relativity?”
“Isn’t that a classic description of a singularity?”
Singularity??
Lin Xu was stunned.
What the hell?!
How did it end up here??
