Start from the thief

Zhao Yushu was running non-stop.

He did not see Yelu Mingjing's shadow, but he had a very strong feeling that the other party was following him closely, and as long as he stopped, he would be caught soon.

He didn't know how Yelu Mingjing followed him, but it was most likely related to the black sword that could show the endless future.

Damn, are you going to shake your head for a while and then make a sign to the sky?

Moreover, he didn't think that after being caught, Yelu Mingjing would still give him a chance to talk nicely and ask him whether he was willing to be the king of this world.

You can only run, you must run, and you have to run fast enough.

During the escape, Zhao Yushu tried again to use blood to trick the little gray worms over, but the little beasts became smarter and ignored him. It was not known whether they thought the blood was too little or they would not fall for the same trick twice.

You can't really force yourself to hurt yourself with a knife.

Zhao Yushu was not very worried about not being able to escape. After figuring out the operating principles of this place, he knew he could definitely get out if he wanted to, it was just a matter of cost.

But he can't leave now.

First, he was afraid that he would be too late. Yelu Mingjing was chasing him very closely, and if he stopped, he would be caught in less than a minute. Second, he had to delay as much time as possible.

When he went out from here for the first time, he found that the flow of time inside and outside was the same, so he had to delay Yelu Mingjing as much as possible to create a chance for Zhang Tianshi and Second Senior Sister outside to recover.

Now that both of them have recovered, the chances of everyone escaping will be greater.

Zhao Yushu suddenly quickened his pace, because just as he jumped to the other side, he saw Yelu Mingjing's figure just emerging out of the corner of his eye.

My speed is not as fast as his! ?

This doesn't make sense. With the fleeting glimpse, the Thunder Step, and the occasional Shadow Step, Yelu Mingjing, who has never shown any special speed, shouldn't have caught up with me so quickly.

Zhao Yushu slammed on the brakes and stopped.

He shouldn't stop now, but if he doesn't want to understand why Yelu Mingjing can be so fast, he won't be able to escape for long.

He decided to take a gamble.

Yelu Mingjing's figure fell from the sky without any warning. He seemed a little surprised when he saw Zhao Yushu's motionless figure. In the future he saw, he shouldn't have caught the other party so early.

Zhao Yushu rushed towards him expressionlessly.

Yelu Mingjing frowned, he didn't understand why Zhao Yushu was in such a hurry to die.

Although he didn't understand, it didn't stop him from drawing his sword.

The two were very close, and Yelu Mingjing's sword was so fast that Zhao Yushu could not dodge it.

There was no mercy in this sword. No one would doubt that he would easily stab Zhao Yushu to death with this sword.

Zhao Yushu did not dodge. The moment the sword tip was approaching him, he turned into a green light.

"Ah."

Yelu Mingjing was not surprised, but showed an expression of expectedness. He glanced at the distant corner, where Zhao Yushu jumped up and flew into the sky.

Yelu Mingjing did not chase after him. Instead, he jumped into the sky in another direction and landed on the other side one step earlier than Zhao Yushu.

Zhao Yushu suddenly used the Thunder Step, not to leave the ground faster, but to let himself come down from mid-air.

The other party didn't need to chase him at all, he could block Zhao Yushu in advance.

The previous times when we were following each other like a shadow or passing by each other, it was not because I was too slow or Yelu Mingjing was too fast, but because I happened to appear in the other party's path.

He was not surprised at how Yelu Mingjing calculated his destination. With the black sword, all his future paths were most likely known.

Zhao Yushu began to get anxious.

According to my previous experience of reading novels and watching animations, this method is not difficult to crack, as long as you don't know where to run. For example, I will just stand here and you run by yourself.

But the question is, how do you know that standing here doing nothing is not the only future?

What's more, I didn't know where to run before, and I was just running around and wasting time.

Now comes the contradiction. Your next action is very likely to be your destined future, no matter what you do or do nothing.

How to change a predetermined future?

Can a future that can be changed still be considered a predetermined future?

Zhao Yushu thinks this is a philosophical question.

But I am not a philosopher, I am just an assassin, a half-baked scholar, a person who acts faster than he thinks.

Zhao Yushu scratched his sparsely haired head fiercely and thought, what the hell, I can't think of a solution for this kind of causal weapon.

Wait, the future that his sword saw, was it finding me, or killing me?

Zhao Yushu recalled the story in his previous life about a doctor who stretched out his finger towards the sky. There were many memes about this finger on the Internet, such as, flying into the sky, the purple potato spirit can't reach you, woc, why are you committing suicide!

Everyone has a different definition of the future, so does that mean the future we ultimately realize will necessarily be the same?

Zhao Yushu tends to think that what Yelu Mingjing needs to focus on is grasping his own future.

Otherwise, the other party would not have been so decisive when seeing Kunwu taking action just now, because this would conflict with killing himself in the future.

Now I have regained a little bit of initiative, and at least I know what future outcome Yelu Mingjing is seeking.

Theoretically, this is a very rigorous process, so rigorous that even if Yelu Mingjing appeared in front of him the next moment, he would not immediately grab him, because this would violate his process, but he just stabbed Kunwu with his sword again.

Unless he knew that this sword was also the predetermined future.

But what if it wasn't Kunwu but myself? The future would be changed.

What would have happened if he hadn't stabbed with that sword?

Will Kunwu hit him hard?

Yelu Mingjing is not a robot. He has his own thoughts and ideas. This means that when he faces moments of extreme crisis, he will react subconsciously based on his instincts and combat experience. Will this reaction conflict with the path pointed out by the black sword?

Zhao Yushu felt that he seemed to have figured out the connection here.

He has no ability to fight against the future, and even any action he takes to fight against it may be part of the predetermined future. He can only try to create a paradox and force Yelu Mingjing to break this process himself.

Because the future has not happened yet, once Yelu Mingjing makes a small mistake, he may go down another path.

The sword that stabbed Kunwu just now was not enough to turn the situation around, so let’s create a few more.

Zhao Yushu thinks he is a genius.

In fact, Zhao Yushu was overthinking.

He watched too many movies and read too many novels in his previous life, which caused him to subconsciously think that the things in this world are very strong.

The Black Sword is strong, but not that strong.

Yelu Mingjing is very strong, but not that strong.

The Black Sword only gave a route for Yelu Mingjing to follow. It would not change the future just because Yelu Mingjing sneezed or spit. The tolerance rate was very high.

Yelu Mingjing did not foresee his every move in the future, he only needed to make sure the general direction was correct.

Just like countless tributaries, they will eventually flow into the sea. The future given by the black sword is like an estuary.

If the two could meet before entering the sea, Yelu Mingjing wouldn't mind changing the future in advance.

So the next moment, when he saw Zhao Yushu appear with a confused look on his face, he laughed.

What a suicidal child.
