24 hours to save the world

Chapter 81 Confession

Xu Feng never understood it.

He didn't know why during the investigation Zhu Shijiu, who had an ordinary life experience before, suddenly transformed into a member of some kind of "Chess Club" organization. He also didn't know why Zhu Shijiu sometimes acted unpredictable and could even predict accurately. Guessing what he was thinking, the most important thing was that he didn't know why Zhu Shijiu knew about the black soldier organization's plan for tomorrow.

He had long been accustomed to having everything in his hands, so when the "unknown" really came, Zhu Shijiu's prophecy became the only source of uneasiness in his heart.

Zhu Shijiu predicted that they would eventually fail and that a blue energy explosion would occur at ten o'clock, eventually leading to the destruction of mankind.

"What do you want to say?"

Xu Feng stopped and turned around.

"Tell me your real name. As long as you tell me your real name, I will tell you everything."

Zhu Shijiu said.

"This level of information leakage is not important at all, is it? Compared with everything I wanted to know before, this question is easier to answer now. As long as you use this trivial information, you can get the information you care about. It might even be the key to solving the situation, don’t you think it’s a good deal?”

"It's a good deal." Xu Feng came back to Zhu Shijiu and stared down at Zhu Shijiu's face, "But I don't know what you are planning."

"As long as you tell me your real name, you will know what I am planning. It is a very simple answer that is easy to figure out, but it is extremely contrary to your existing world view."

To be honest, Zhu Shijiu is just executing the plan before injecting the medicine.

Just like many black soldiers who still regard saving the world as their ultimate goal after obliterating their emotions, Zhu Shijiu is the same now. Before the injection of the medicine, he had vague ideas. After the injection of the medicine, his thoughts became clearer, even if he gradually became Even if he doesn't understand himself in his emotional state, he can still carry out the original plan.

When Xu Feng heard Zhu Shijiu's answer, he sneered and said, "You said you can predict the future, which actually goes against my current world view. Are you still going to give some ridiculous answer?"

Zhu Shijiu stared at Xu Feng: "You should know that in a rational state, I will not be affected by any emotions, so there is a possibility of personality changes. I was unwilling to confess certain things before, but now I am Not necessarily willing to keep secrets.”

Xu Feng and Zhu Shijiu looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.

"What do you want with my real name?"

"You can take a guess. If you guess it, you can definitely guess what kind of secret I keep."

"I don't want to guess. I would rather believe the results of the interrogation than the information you tell me on your own initiative."

"The interrogation has no effect on me now. You know. After being injected with the medicine, I have no emotion. No matter how great the pain is, I will not flinch."

It's useless. Zhu Shijiu had considered this before.

After Xu Feng thought about it a little, he finally did not torture Zhu Shijiu, but said.

"I once said that my name is a sign of how much I trust you. As long as you can tell me my real name at a certain time, then I will trust you. Now you ask me my real name because you want to pass it. How to predict the future?

"But you should know that if I am unwilling to tell my real name, then you will not be able to know my real name in the future. How can you predict my real name? In other words, it is precisely because you have predicted that you do not know my real name. The future of my real name, so you asked me about my real name? But if I tell you my real name, you will know it, but what’s the use? I won’t trust you just because of it..."

Zhu Shijiu listened to Xu Feng being trapped in a logical loop, and took over the topic with a twist: "...unless this has nothing to do with the so-called 'predicting the future'."

Yes, unless it has nothing to do with predicting the future.

Xu Feng stopped logical deduction.

The amount of information was so small that Zhu Shijiu was full of mysteries. Without sufficient information, it would be impossible to deduce according to normal logic.

Zhu Shijiu was right, exchanging an insignificant piece of information for the most valuable information was not a loss.

So in an atmosphere of silence with Zhu Shijiu, Xu Feng spoke.

"My real name..."

Zhu Shi concentrated for a long time and heard Xu Feng spit out two words.

"Xu Feng."

Zhu Shijiu admitted that even though he was emotionless and absolutely rational, he fell into a state of stagnant thinking at this moment.

It's not that I'm surprised, it's that my brain can't process the information.

Xu Feng explained: "My real name is Xu Feng. When I play this game with you, it doesn't matter what my real name is. What matters is whether you can predict the future and discover that my real name is Xu Feng." Xu Feng. I have long told myself that as long as I have a deeper trust in you, I will tell you this."

Zhu Shijiu closed his eyes and his thoughts began to flow again: "So I didn't tell you this at the time, does it mean that I didn't foresee the future in which you chose to trust me?"

"That's right. At the same time, I directly used my real name as a pseudonym, which means that you can't guess my name through coincidence - although the possibility of guessing my name by coincidence is very small."

Xu Feng's words made Zhu Shijiu understand everything.

If he hadn't been injected with medicine, he would have started cursing long ago.

But now he is extremely calm inside.

"It's your turn now."

Honestly, Zhu Shijiu couldn't tell whether what the man said was true or false, but it didn't matter, he still had the next round.

"First of all, my superpower is not to predict the future."

Zhu Shijiu said.

"Secondly, my real superpower is to go back to the previous day, November 6, at 10 o'clock in the morning."

"..."

There was a dead silence in the interrogation room.

—— appeared.

Xu Feng looked up at the ceiling and thought to himself.

An answer that was more absurd than predicting the future, but quite logical, appeared.

As Zhu Shijiu said, it really overturned his worldview, and all the previous answers were answered perfectly.

"In the reality I have experienced several times, you launched an attack on the enemies of the world at 10 o'clock in the morning on November 7, which caused an energy explosion over Jiangcheng."

"I tried to publish the information about the end of the world online, but you black soldiers came to my door and tortured me until the end of the next day. I tried to find a scapegoat to post the information on my behalf online, but you still came to my door and tortured me until the end of the next day. I also tried to learn archery from Du Fei and fight with your black soldiers..."

Zhu Shijiu recounted his experience, telling the reality he had experienced over and over again without any fluctuations in his tone, and finally said.

"I know you are very likely not to believe it, and still choose to continue your plan. But I have learned enough in this round, and your real name is the last information I want to know."

Xu Feng listened to Zhu Shijiu's absurd answer, and his face was slightly distorted.

This was the first time Zhu Shijiu saw Xu Feng's expression change so much.

"...In other words, you don't have the power to predict the future? All you know is the reality you have experienced, and you can't know any other information." Xu Feng rarely said nonsense among nonsense.

Zhu Shijiu still had a blank expression: "The only thing I can change is the future of my timeline. In this round, I told you all the known information and secrets. If you still don't want to change your plan, I will go back to the next round with your real name. Then I ask you, will you change your plan now?"

Xu Feng reached out and grabbed Zhu Shijiu's collar, and resumed his cold attitude: "I would rather you didn't tell the truth! I won't believe you are telling the truth!"

Zhu Shijiu can understand Xu Feng's feelings.

If Zhu Shijiu, who has experienced countless rounds and mastered a lot of information, has the power to change the entire future by himself, it will be of great value to the Black Soldier Organization, but now he only knows that there will be an explosion tomorrow, which is useless. Even if Xu Feng believes him and gives up the plan to attack tomorrow, Zhu Shijiu will not be able to continue to influence Xu Feng's thoughts after that, and mankind will eventually go to the end.

More importantly, he said he could go back, which was equivalent to saying he could give up at any time without any psychological burden and put his hope on the next round. However, the current world is everything to Xu Feng, and the world in the next few rounds that Zhu Shijiu can save has nothing to do with him in this round.

In addition, Xu Feng can't disprove Zhu Shijiu's answer this time, so it is impossible to change tomorrow's plan because of Zhu Shijiu's words.

Zhu Shijiu, who is absolutely rational, will not have unnecessary expectations for the future that is doomed to die.

This round should end.
