Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Lin Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took a half step back, his back hitting the cold alloy door frame.

"Also?" His voice was hoarse. "What do you mean?"

The indicator light at the bottom of EX-β07's cabin suddenly lit up a glaring red light, and a mechanical synthesized voice echoed throughout Ward 0:

Homologous sequence conflict detected.

【Initiate recycling protocol.】

[Countdown: 00:10]

The "enes" in the nutrition cabin opened their eyes at the same time - hundreds of pairs of gray-white eyeballs without pupils turned towards the door in unison.

The golden light on Shi Qi's fingertips suddenly expanded, wrapped around Lin Yi's wrist and pulled him back to the corridor: "Don't touch the cabin!"

boom!

The electronic door closed automatically, and the word "Cancelled" on the doorplate was crossed out by blood, replaced by the flashing "EX-β07 Implantation in Progress".

En—or EX-a00, at that moment, completely shed his childlike disguise. His body stretched like melted wax, his features dissolved into a flowing black mist. Only his voice still echoed in the air:

"Lin Yi, who do you think you are?"

"You're just a 'shell' I used to escape the dungeon. If I hadn't seen that your body still had some use, I would have killed you the moment I saw you."

The black fog suddenly shrank and turned into a sharp cone that pierced Lin Yi's eyebrows!

Ding--

The golden ring thrown out by Shi Qi accurately blocked the cone, and the two forces collided with each other, emitting a dazzling white light.

"Shell?" She sneered. "What a coincidence! I love peeling people's shells the most. And you think too highly of yourself by killing him. Even if he's weak, you can't kill him."

The halo suddenly split into countless thin threads, wrapping around the black mist and peeling off the "ene" layer by layer like unraveling wool.

A chip fell out of the torn black mist, with a familiar name engraved on it:

[Lin Yi·Original ID Code: LX-000]

"Look, your number." Shi Qi picked up the chip with two fingers and shook it towards the light.

The moment the nutrient chamber countdown reached zero, all the chambers exploded simultaneously. Light green liquid mixed with blood and flesh gushed out, converging on the ground to form a distorted face—Gu Yu's face.

"It seems," the face said in a hoarse electronic voice, "the administrator account has also escaped."

Shi Qi crushed the face with one foot and turned to look at Lin Yi: "Now you have two choices:"

1. Use the chip to restore your identity and become the real "Lin Yi" in the copy. The price is to stay here permanently as the experimental subject manager.

2. Destroy the chip and continue to advance as an "outsider", but you will lose all memories of the person "Ene" forever.

Lin Yi looked down at the chip and suddenly smiled: "Qiqi, how could you bear to let me stay here? As for the second one, I don't think it's a good idea either. It's better not to lose memory. Otherwise, what if I meet him again and mistake him for a good person... I choose the third one."

Shi Qi raised an eyebrow: "Where did the third one come from?"

Lin Yi: "I just don't choose anything. I don't have to choose. Anyway, have you found a way to get out of the dungeon?"

Shi Qi said with some annoyance: "Let me tell you something not so good. We have been deceived. Everything that brought us to this small world is a scam. There is nothing wrong with this world at all. It is our actions towards this world that will lead to its collapse."

"A hoax?" Lin Yi was stunned and subconsciously tightened his grip on the chip. "Are you saying... we are the 'virus'?"

Shi Qi replied, "Theoretically, no, but based on practical evidence, we did act as executioners and accelerated the demise of the small world."

Lin Yi loosened his fingertips, and the chip fell to the ground with a "ding" sound, rolled twice and stopped in the corner of the wall, like a bomb with the fuse pulled out.

"So," he said hoarsely, "we shouldn't have come at all?"

Shi Qi didn't answer immediately. She lowered her eyes to gaze at the crushed remains of the "Gu Yu," a faint green light reflected in her pupils—the residual fluorescence from the solution in the nutrient chamber, rapidly corroding the ground and emitting hissing white smoke.

"It's not that we 'shouldn't have come,'" she finally said, her tone as light as a sigh, "but rather that someone else has already saved the small world before us, making our efforts to save it unnecessary. Over-healing is like overdoing something, and it will also lead to destruction..."

Lin Yi was silent for two seconds, then suddenly bent down to pick up the chip again and wiped off the mucus with his fingertips.

"So what do we do now? How do we...solve the damage we've caused?"

Shi Qi said: "Let's find the true savior of this world, the son of destiny!"

Lin Yi asked with a hint of confusion: "Didn't you say that we couldn't look for it?"

Shi Qi said in a rather nagging manner, "At the time, I didn't want to burden the world. Now that the impact has been significant enough, I don't care about it anymore. At worst, I can just work harder to improve myself later."

"Then let's find them." Lin Yi said, "We can't just let an unknown enemy destroy our territory and we remain indifferent. That would make us look too weak."

"But," Lin Yi changed the subject and expressed his concerns, "We can't even open the World Book. We can't locate the correct Child of Destiny. How can we find him?"

Shi Qi snapped his fingers, and golden light particles scattered like dandelions, condensing into a suspended miniature hourglass in the air.

"The world book cannot be opened because someone has hidden the 'protagonist' in the cracks of time."

The sand in the hourglass began to swirl, each grain reflecting a different scene: a campus rooftop, a subway tunnel, a late-night convenience store...

Finally, it was fixed in an ordinary room——

"Class 7, Grade 3."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "School again? It's almost the same old routine."

"But this time is different." Shi Qi tapped his fingertips and the picture zoomed in - in the last row of the classroom, a boy was sleeping on the table.

"His name is Jiang Yan. He was supposed to be the 'savior' before the world restarted, but he was wiped out by the aftermath of our first mission. Now his name can't even be written in the world book."

Lin narrowed his eyes: "So we have to 'pick' him out of the cracks in time?"

Shi Qi replied, "No, please remember, he is the savior, but not the savior of the time we are in now. This is the savior when the first mission begins.

We are now in the third, no, fourth, opening time... We must find the savior of this time."

"The fourth timeline..." Lin Yi rubbed his forehead, "In other words, the saviors of the previous three times are all——"

"Dead, or 'rescued' by someone from the 'Quick Transmigration Bureau'." Shi Qi shrugged, his tone as light as if he was discussing the weather. "The plot is like a nesting doll, and the protagonist changes every time it restarts. Now we have to find out-"

She raised her hand and drew a line in the air. The hourglass image began to flow again, and the timeline was stretched into a glowing thread, divided into four nodes.
