Chapter 29 Yesterday Reappears
"Is this the edge of the city?"
Looking at the woods in front of him, Lin Yi was both anxious and expectant.
After five days, they finally arrived at the edge of the city. Next, they just need to pass through this forest to reach the mountain of the neighboring city.
Lin Yi knew nothing about the world outside the city.
However, because of the existence of those aliens, the outside world is very likely to be different from what we see on TV.
The outside world may be full of various monsters, which are more terrifying and more brutal.
"Are you ready?" Lu Linhai suddenly roared, as if to give himself courage and to cheer everyone up.
Zhou Yun tightly grasped Zhou Kai's sleeves. She looked a little nervous, but there was no hesitation in her eyes.
Zhou Kai's eyes were also firm. He touched Zhou Yun's head and told her not to worry.
Lin Yi looked back at the road he came from. Although he could no longer see the city's buildings at this point, for Lin Yi, what happened before seemed to be yesterday.
"Goodbye." Lin Yi said silently in his heart.
He said goodbye to the city where he had lived for 18 years, and also to his past self.
"Let's go." An Chengdao took out the key.
When they walked into the woods, the crystal in An Chengdao's hand lit up with a faint red light.
"It has color!" Lu Linhai was a little excited, pointing at the key and shouting, "The key has responded!"
As they continued to move forward, the red light in the crystal became more and more vigorous.
"This thing is really the same as recorded in the information. When the red light inside fills the entire key, we can leave this ghost place." Lin Yi said in his heart.
Finally, the red light filled the entire crystal, but just when they were confidently preparing to leave here, Lin Yi suddenly felt dizzy.
Lin Yi felt very uncomfortable, dizzy, and even the picture in front of him began to become blurred.
This feeling became more and more obvious, as if something was desperately tearing Lin Yi's soul.
When Lin Yi realized that something was wrong, he wanted to remind others, but found that his body was out of control at this moment and he couldn't say a word.
"What happened?" Lin Yi screamed in his heart, "Why is this happening? Are those monsters catching up with us?"
"No, if there are monsters approaching us, Zhou Kai will definitely find them."
"Damn it! Damn it! Victory is clearly in sight, why is this happening?"
Lin Yi's consciousness became more and more blurred. In a trance, he seemed to see two familiar figures sitting in front of him.
They showed loving smiles on their faces, clapping their hands and talking about something.
The candlelight flickered slightly, and cheerful singing came to his ears.
Lin Yi had heard this song before. It was a song he looked forward to every year, and it was also a song he never wanted to hear again.
This song was the beginning of Lin Yi's nightmare-
"Happy birthday to you, happy every day, happy forever!"
"Yi Yi, happy birthday!"
"Blow out the candles!"
After a trance, Lin Yi came back to his senses.
He saw the two people sitting opposite him clearly, and his scalp instantly felt numb.
"Yiyi?"
"Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"
The two people sitting opposite Lin Yi were his parents who had already been killed by An Chengdao!
"My... birthday?" Lin Yi realized that he had returned to the past again.
This time, he returned to his 18th birthday on June 10.
"Yes, Yiyi, today is your birthday."
Dad's voice made Lin Yi jump up from his chair. He backed away quickly and almost tripped over the chair behind him.
"Yiyi, slow down." Mom was startled by Lin Yi's sudden move.
"Why... why are you still alive?" Lin Yi found it unbelievable.
"Why did time go back to my birthday?"
The scenes in his memory emerged. Lin Yi remembered that he and Zhou Kai came to the edge of the city. He could leave the city immediately, so why did he return to June 10 in the blink of an eye?
"Could it be that... I died again?"
Lin Yi shook his head. He felt something was wrong.
He didn't remember that there was a monster at that time, let alone how he died.
So, could it be that the ability activated itself, just like when An Chengdao fought a group of monsters alone in the butcher shop?
A sense of frustration surged in his heart.
He had been in the mountains for more than half a month, and he was finally able to leave here, but in the blink of an eye he returned to the starting point.
If all this cannot be changed, then what is the point of all that he has done?
"Yiyi, what's wrong with you?" When his mother stood up, Lin Yi saw the knife on the table.
He grabbed the knife in his hand and looked at his parents in front of him vigilantly.
"Don't come over!" Lin Yi yelled.
"Yiyi, are you... are you okay?" Mom seemed very worried.
"Yiyi, are you okay?" Dad was the same.
They kept looking at Lin Yi, but there was no greed in their eyes before, but a kind of tension and worry.
"Don't pretend." Lin Yi quickly calmed himself down.
After more than half a month of training, although Lin Yi was not confident that he could defeat two adult monsters, he thought he could try to escape from them.
"I know you are monsters." Lin Yi said it without hesitation.
Today is June 10th, Lin Yi's birthday, and the day he was eaten.
So, instead of hiding it, it's better to say it directly.
However, Lin Yi was a little surprised by his parents' reaction.
"Monster?" Mom was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dad beside her blankly, "What monster?"
"I don't know." Dad shook his head and said, "Is Yi Yi talking about the computer game he played?"
"Yi Yi, what's wrong with you?" Dad continued with a puzzled look, "Could it be that the pressure of the exams these days is too great, and after the exams, you suddenly relaxed and had problems with your brain?"
"Hospital!" Dad thought for a while and said, "Yi Yi, let's go, Dad will take you to the hospital for a check-up."
"Yes, yes, yes, hospital!" Mom echoed, "Yi Yi, it's okay, Mom and Dad are here, you will be fine."
Lin Yi was stunned. Why is the scene in front of him different from what he has experienced before?
Lin Yi has already exposed the fact that he found the monster, but why did they tear off their disguise? Why didn't he pounce on Lin Yi and eat him?
"Car keys, where are my car keys?" Dad looked a little anxious.
"On the shoe cabinet, you always put them there when you come back." Mom reminded.
"Yes, on the shoe cabinet." Dad walked to the entrance, grabbed the car keys, opened the door and prepared to go out.
"I'll go drive the car first, and we'll go to the hospital as soon as you get off."
"Yiyi, mom will take you to see a doctor." Mom walked towards Lin Yi.
"Don't come over!" Lin Yi raised the knife in his hand and looked at the person in front of him vigilantly.
"Yiyi, don't scare mom." Mom's eyes gradually moistened, and the worry in her eyes didn't seem fake.
For a moment, Lin Yi was a little at a loss.
"What happened?" Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.
"Yiyi, don't be afraid, mom is here." Mom slowly approached, and even though Lin Yi had a knife in his hand, she still came to Lin Yi without hesitation.
"Mom is here. No matter what happens, Mom will be with you." Mom took the knife from Lin Yi's hand, hugged Lin Yi, and patted Lin Yi's back gently.
"Yiyi, Mom will take you to see a doctor." Mom took Lin Yi's hand, "Don't worry, you will be fine."
No, no, no!
Lin Yi felt a mess in his mind.
What happened? Why did it happen differently after returning to the past this time?
Why didn't these two monsters kill him?
Could it be that the previous experiences were all illusions, and everything happening in front of him at this moment was real?
Or did something happen during the time travel that Lin Yi didn't notice?
