Chapter 92: Excitement

Still, Shi Hai couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss. A vague sense of incongruity lingered in his mind.

Tian Shui noticed his doubts, and to dispel his suspicions entirely, she gave him a seductive smile and urged him on.

"Alright then, let’s start the second round of the game, my dear junior~"

"Sure… Let’s continue."

"Just like before, let’s chat as we play. I’ll tell you everything you want to know and let you… get to know me better. Hehehe…"

The second round began.

This time, Tian Shui adjusted her strategy. She no longer relied on her body to attract Shi Hai’s attention.

In fact, on a broader level, she wasn’t even aiming to win the game outright.

After all, winning a single game would only make him follow her orders once.

But if she could take this chance to win his heart...

Then she could have him follow her lead for a lifetime!

Shi Hai, on his end, also keenly noticed a subtle shift in Tian Shui’s demeanor.

Despite her toned-down attire, which revealed much less skin than before, she now exuded an even more dangerous allure.

However, there was an upside: at least he wouldn’t be distracted by a certain deep cleavage anymore.

Shi Hai rolled the dice, confirmed the number, and moved his game piece while continuing the topic they had left off earlier.

"Senior, you said earlier that, before the incident, I was standing on the tallest building nearby, right?"

"Yes, it was the tallest building in the area."

"Was I out of my mind? Standing so high up, wasn’t I just asking to be struck by lightning?"

"You can’t put it that way. After all, the building had lightning rods installed. If just standing high up meant getting struck by lightning, no one would ever do high-altitude work."

"True… So was I up there during a thunderstorm?"

"On the contrary, it was a sunny day."

"Whoa! A bolt from the blue?"

"Exactly, a literal ‘bolt from the blue.’"

So lightning could strike on a clear day?

The thought left Shi Hai feeling even more incredulous.

After all, something like a bolt from the blue was as rare as snow in June—an exceptionally uncommon natural phenomenon that some people might never witness in their lifetime.

Let alone being killed by one.

"And it was just that one bolt… Boom!"

Tian Shui picked up her game piece and placed it on Shi Hai’s head.

"It landed squarely on your head, junior."

Her reenactment was so vivid that it almost felt real.

"Wow, I must’ve been incredibly ‘lucky,’ huh…"

"Lucky… hehe, do you really think this was just a ‘coincidence,’ junior?"

"It doesn’t really feel like a coincidence. I mean, it’s just too absurd."

"Exactly. It’s like a precision-guided lightning strike, as if its sole purpose was to kill you."

But if a bolt from the blue wasn’t a coincidence, how could it be explained?

It couldn’t be something like a weather control device, right?

Even if such a sci-fi device existed, could it really strike someone dead with such accuracy?

Unless it was some kind of railgun?

Either way, it didn’t seem likely to be man-made.

"Tell me, senior… this world doesn’t actually have cultivators or something, does it?"

“Oh my? So even you, junior, can give up on thinking sometimes,” Tian Shui teased, her tone playful.

“I just feel like no matter how much I think about it, there’s no reasonable explanation for such an absurd cause of death—unless, of course, senior, you’re just messing with me again.”

“I think,” Tian Shui said, a sly smile playing on her lips, “if you consider this ‘coincidence’ as a ‘certainty,’ it starts to make sense.”

“Certainty…”

“You’ve already noticed, haven’t you? There are many reincarnators around you, and each of them comes from a distinct future.”

Tian Shui rolled the dice. It landed on four. She moved her game piece off Shi Hai’s head and onto the board, landing on a “Roll Again” space.

“When you asked me earlier, didn’t you ask, ‘In nine years, will I have died?’ Why specify ‘nine years’? Isn’t it because, deep down, you already have a hunch?”

Shi Hai considered her words and replied, “Yeah… I’ve been thinking that how I die isn’t as important as when I die.”

Tian Shui rolled the dice again—another four. This time, she landed on a “Points Double” space, advancing a total of 12 spaces in one turn, leaving Shi Hai far behind.

“Exactly. In nine years, you are ‘certain’ to encounter a life-threatening accident.”

So it’s true…

Even Jian Sichun had said she was from nine years in the future and hinted at some tragedy she didn’t want to discuss.

Now it seemed likely that in her future, Shi Hai experienced some disaster on par with being struck by a bolt from the blue.

There had to be something significant about this nine-year timeframe.

“A destined death… no, not necessarily death…”

In the future his sister Shi Meng described, her brother became a vegetative patient.

This clarified one thing: in the future, Shi Hai would face a “major accident” that would leave him either dead or gravely injured.

This was a certainty.

And more than that, it seemed highly likely that after this event, a reincarnator would be sent back to the past.

The more Shi Hai thought about it, the more complex things seemed.

Even more unsettling was the question: just how many futures did this destined event span?

And how many people had been sent back to the past, becoming reincarnators because of it?

And what about the mysterious entity pulling the strings, sending people back to the past? What was their true goal?

Why hadn’t they reincarnated him as well?

At that moment, Tian Shui tapped Shi Hai’s forehead with her index finger. When he snapped out of his thoughts and focused on her, she smiled mischievously.

“Well, that’s all the answers I can give you for now. If you want to know more… please~ subscribe~ for more~”

“Got it. I’ll have to thank you for even explaining this much.”

“Consider it a little bonus for you. After all, it’s your first time~ Hehe…”

The way Tian Shui said “first time” carried a certain ambiguous undertone, making it sound rather suggestive.

In truth, Tian Shui had more she wanted to say: You don’t need to worry about any of this anymore.

After all, if “that person” wasn’t stopping others from getting close to Shi Hai, it meant the timeline had already reached the point they wanted.

So, in this timeline, Shi Hai was most likely not going to die.

But she didn’t say it.

First, it was too troublesome to explain everything. It would require disclosing more information, which would undermine her advantage.

Second…

Shi Hai sighed deeply.

“Ah… I didn’t think my future self would be like that…”

“Hehe, feeling embarrassed?”

Shi Hai genuinely felt embarrassed.

The words he supposedly said before dying were unbelievably cringey.

Even the way he died was over-the-top.

If the stupid things he did in the past counted as his “black history,” what would you call this future version of himself?

“Black future”?

Was that even a thing?

“Yeah… It feels like I’m regressing as a person. To think I might become that childish in the future…”

Exactly!

This was precisely why Tian Shui didn’t want to spill everything. She loved seeing Shi Hai struggle with it.

Straining to figure out the truth, feeling ashamed once he learned it…

He was just too adorable!

Pure bliss.

Struggle, be confused, despair!

And then, with that reluctant face of yours...

Be devoured by me!

Tian Shui felt even more exhilarated.
