Before Lu Lie could think for a long time, a slight vibration came from under the tree wall again. He lowered his head, and Li Yuan, who was carrying a basket of giant tree fruits, was just lifting up and vomiting, and the two of them met with each other.

It's the third time.

Since he returned here through the Tower of Despair, he has met Li Yuan on the giant tree three times, which also means that he and Li Yuan have died twice in the abyss.

"Has failed...?"

Looking at Lu Lie's eyes, Li Yuan knew that this was a guy who had traveled back from the future time and space.

He climbed to Lu Lie and fixed his position with a hook rope. Lu Lie began to tell him about what happened in the previous time and space, about the five-person group of people on the first journey of giant trees, about being teleported to this time and space by the Tower of Despair, about being killed in the abyss for the first time, and Li Yuan was killed in the abyss for the second time...

...

After listening to Lu Lie's story, the sky at the top of the Giant Tree World was approaching dusk. Li Yuan still listened very seriously, perhaps because this was the second time he had told him this past. Lu Lie had already roughly known what details he would have questions about and what aspects need to be mentioned. So this time Li Yuan did not interrupt Lu Lie's narration too many times, nor did he ask too many questions.

When Lu Lie talked about the end of Li Yuan's death and he was teleported back to this time node, Li Yuan sighed softly. It can be seen that even he felt that the current situation was not good.

"So, you still have another chance to go back now?"

"Yes."

"That is, if we are killed after going down this time, then we will have only one last chance."

"Yes."

"It's not good." Li Yuan sighed.

Yes, even fools can tell that the situation is really bad. They have not even entered the bottom of the Yellow Springs and have consumed two retracements just because they want to pass through the abyss.

So what is the probability that they can survive when they face the Yellow Spring Sea, which is even more dangerous than the abyss?

Facing the red light of the sunset, Li Yuan quietly pondered the countermeasures. He was silent for a while, and then thought about Lu Lie's doubts: "So, the second time, was it because I died after being possessed that the retracement mechanism was activated?"

"Well." Lu Lie can't forget it until now. When he found that Li Yuan beside him was no longer Li Yuan's helplessness and fear in his heart.

"Are you sure that the 'I' is dead at the moment the retracement mechanism is activated?"

"Of course, it should... be... right." Before the second round of gears started, the only thing Lu Lie remembered was the sound of something being crushed in the darkness.

Li Yuan widened his eyes and asked Lu Lie again: "Are you really sure?"

"I……"

Lu Lie began to hesitate.

He originally wanted to answer for sure, but if something really was crushed in the darkness, would it be Li Yuan's voice before his death?

Li Yuan looked directly into Lu Lie's eyes, without skipping the question at all: "Although I just put forward an assumption... If you think about it carefully, it is impossible that the return mechanism will not happen, but the death of you, or the death of my lover in the underworld? Or, before killing you, that guy in the abyss deliberately made you hear the crushing sound, and deliberately imitated my voice to speak in your ear, causing you to have the fact that 'the possessed Li Yuan committed suicide and caused the return'?"

Lu Lie began to stutter. I have to admit that the situation was very complicated from Lu Lie's first perspective at that time, and this possibility of appearance cannot be ruled out. However, what is the point of doing that monster in the abyss?

Yes, what's the point of doing this?

Li Yuan's voice eased a little: "Relax, don't be so nervous. I just put forward a hypothesis... The reason for this hypothesis - have you ever thought about such a possibility? The guy in the abyss does not have the ability to possess, and it has never attached my body. The reason why it does this is to create an illusion for you to make a judgment that it has the ability to possess before you die."

"And at that time, for some reason, I was separated from you and had no idea what was going on in that direction. In this way, everything had room for operation. After that guy disguised himself as my voice and finished the conversation with you, he made a sound of crushing things and then killed you."

Lv Lie: “…”

I have to admit that what Li Yuan analyzed has some truth, but on the other hand, it always feels strange and there is something wrong with it.

But before Lu Lie thought about it, Li Yuan raised another question: "Can you be sure when 'I' was possessed?"

"Um?"

"That is to say, I was possessed when I was down the giant tree, was I possessed when I was fighting fiercely with zombies, or did I not possessed until I reached that intersection where you were killed for the first time?"

Lu Lie stopped talking again. To be honest, Li Yuan asked him this question, but he really couldn't answer. He said that the other party was possessed at which exact time point? It was different at any time point, but it was possible at any time point.

Now that I think about it carefully, why did Li Yuan lose his keen five senses in the abyss? He could not predict in advance every time the dragon corpse appeared?

It is very likely that he was possessed at that time, so he lost his intuition.

When Li Yuan broke through the zombie siege on the giant tree, did Li Yuan summon the time giant?

Maybe something was wrong with him at that time, so he didn't dare to summon the time giant, for fear that the time giant who was with his master would find that he was heresy.

Speaking of it carefully, it seemed that when I asked Li Yuan why he did not feel the existence of the dragon corpse, Li Yuan's answer style had a subtle difference with his original personality...

It's really possible at any time.

Li Yuan said slowly: "From the beginning."

Lu Lie was still immersed in his own reasoning and did not react to what the other party said meant: "Hmm?"

"I mean," Li Yuan repeated what he said again, "After the second retracement, I'm afraid that from the beginning, the 'me' you first saw was already possessed."

...

The two of them were silent for a long time, and a flash of lightning struck through the sky.

"You mean... the second replay, I never encountered that real 'you' at all?"

"The 'Li Yuan' who follows me is false from beginning to end?"

"From the current situation, I'm afraid that's it."
