My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Are we that close?" Li Kai stared intently at the man in front of him, his face full of disdain. "Don't just casually try to build relationships with people, okay?"

"Haha, that's interesting. It's rare to see someone who dares to say that to me!" Instead of getting angry, the man who was being mocked burst into laughter.

"It's rare to see someone who's still so happy after I've mocked them!" Li Kai said bluntly. Was he another lunatic?

"Human, it seems you really want to die!" The man's eyes turned cold, and he sneered.

"Oh? Are you angry? Weren't you happy?" Li Kai pouted in dissatisfaction. If he was such a hypocrite, why didn't he just keep hiding it? This whole thing was so tiring!

Seeing that Li Kai showed no fear whatsoever, the man laughed excitedly, "Interesting! I didn't expect to encounter such a brazen person after waking up. I must say, you've won me over!"

"Never mind, I have absolutely no interest in men, please don't try to turn me gay," Li Kai said casually, raising his hands.

"Bend? What does that mean?" Upon hearing such a rare term, the man asked abruptly.

"Uh, actually... cough cough, it's a very mysterious word, something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words." Just as Li Kai was about to answer his question, the girl behind him angrily shoved him.

"Well, the development of this world has exceeded my understanding. It seems I haven't learned enough!" The man shook his head and didn't delve any further. He had only been awake for a few days, and the knowledge he could acquire was limited to this.

After hearing the man's words, Li Kai became even more certain of his answer, "You're from the Corpse Clan?"

"Huh?!" The man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife. The human in front of him actually knew his identity; this was a bit dangerous!

“It seems I wasn’t wrong! Judging from your aura, you’re unlikely to be the king. So you’re just a member of the royal family?” Li Kai continued his analysis, resting his chin on his hand.

"Human, where did you learn all this?!" An unprecedented ferocity flashed in his eyes. This world has only just begun, how come some people already know so much!

"It seems like I asked first. Don't you know the order of things after studying for so long?"

“I am Shadow, one of the Eight Kings Generals, and I hold the rank of general. Tell me, where did you get this information? Why do you know anything about the royal family?” Shadow’s attitude was more serious than ever before.

"Eight Kings Generals? General ranks? What are these?" Li Kai muttered to himself, puzzled by the information he had just received. It sounded so complicated!

"The Eight Kings are under the King's command, no! You're trying to trick me, your information is incomplete!" Just as Shadow was about to reply, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"Tch, you actually want more information? You're pretty smart." Li Kai snorted in dissatisfaction, showing no sign of blushing after being exposed.

"Humanity is asking you one last time: what is your message?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Kai snapped his fingers and asked, "Do you know Yongye?"

"The King of Eternal Night, the most arrogant king," Dark Shadow's expression changed repeatedly, finally staring at Li Kai in surprise.

“It seems you understand, so there’s no need for further words. I’ve already taken care of him. Are you sure you can beat him?” Li Kai said calmly, arms crossed. “If you leave now, I might consider letting you go.”

"King slaying? If that's the case, I..." Upon hearing Li Kai's words, Dark Shadow hesitated for a moment.

"Hurry up and go!" Li Kai cried out in his heart, watching the hesitant shadow.

Looking at Li Kai, who seemed confident of victory, An Ying gazed at the girl behind him with uncertain emotions. He was truly unwilling to give up now.

Wait, something's not right. If it really was king assassination, then...

"Otherwise, where do you think I got this information from? If you leave now, you still have a chance." Looking at the shadow who was still wavering, Li Kai had to add fuel to the fire.

Surprisingly, after hearing Li Kai's words, Shadow suddenly became very decisive, "Then of course I can't leave!"

"what?!"

"I must say, your acting skills are truly superb. How should I put it? You got something for nothing?"

"What the heck is this description?" Li Kai thought to himself, completely bewildered.

“Although you may have met the King of Eternal Night, and the news is indeed true, you are absolutely not capable of defeating me now. And your biggest mistake is the last sentence: you seem to be in a hurry!” Shadow analyzed in a sly manner, but he did not reveal the most important answer.

"Oh no!" Li Kai thought to himself, realizing he was in a bit too nervous.

"And so what if I am the King of Eternal Night? I am no longer the same person I was when I awoke. I will not be content with being just a general. In this new era, I will surely have a place on the throne!" A strange light flickered in Shadow's eyes, a desire for power.

"I didn't realize you were still a member of the Corpse Clan full of ideals and ambitions. But aren't you afraid that your actions will be discovered by the other kings?"

"Hmph! Ridiculous. So what if the current kings awaken? Bound by shackles, how much of their strength can they unleash? I, on the other hand, have found a way to unleash their full power!"

"shackles?"

“That’s right! The world is still developing too slowly. Biological evolution and the birth of new things are all restricted, and even the awakened royal family is not immune. But that’s why it’s paradise for me!” Shadow excitedly opened his arms and told Li Kai without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute, you're telling me this so explicitly, are you not planning to let me live?" Hearing his explanation, Li Kai's heart skipped a beat for no reason. It seems like that's how it's always portrayed in movies.

"No, no, I originally only intended to kill you, but now I've changed my mind."

"Will you let me go?"

"I'm going to torture you so badly you'll wish you were dead!" Shadow said menacingly.

"Um, can I choose the first one?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Shadow gave him a clear look.

"Alright, then after you kill me, can you spare the girl behind me?" Li Kai gave up resisting, prepared to exchange his death for her life.

"Haha, that's interesting! Aren't you overestimating yourself?" The man was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? Did I say something ridiculous?"

"No, no, I couldn't control myself." Shadow wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and shook his head apologetically.

"My target has always been her! And you are just an unexpected interlude!" Shadow stepped past Li Kai and fixed his gaze on Yu Ruoxue.

"!!" Even though Li Kai had already guessed it, he couldn't help but grab the girl's hand behind him, feeling an unprecedented sense of tension.
