Chapter 493 The Trajectory of Destiny

"Do you know the Mantis?!" Lin Yi asked, "Could it be that you are the other 'him' I mentioned?"

Lin Yi looked up and down at the man not far away.

The man was very thin and pale, as if he had not eaten for a long time.

"you--"

When Lin Yi raised his legs and wanted to get closer, the man suddenly became nervous.

"Don't come here!" the man shouted, quickly leaving the tree he was leaning on, trying to escape tremblingly.

However, he was too weak.

After leaving the big tree, he didn't even take a step. His legs gave out and he fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

The man knows about tentacles and calls them "monsters," which suggests that the man is human.

So, did he escape here after being attacked by the Mantis?

Lin Yi was thinking in his mind.

Men may be human, but they are not necessarily good.

To be able to escape from the hands of the Mantis must be no ordinary person. Maybe, this man is the Chosen One.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Seeing Lin Yi trying to get closer, the man shouted hysterically.

"You damn monsters, why don't you let me go?!"

"Get away! Get away!"

"I didn't mean to see it, no, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything!"

"I managed to escape here, why? Why don't you let me go?"

"Please, please let me go, I won't tell anything about you, let me go, please!"

What is this guy talking about?

The man's mental state was a little abnormal. He seemed to have thought of something. He quickly pulled off the bag on his back and took out a few pieces of paper.

"I didn't mean to take these, I just... I just..."

"I don't know, I don't know anything!" the man said, tearing the things in his hands into pieces.

Then he threw the pieces in his hand into the sky.

The fragments fell, some landed on the man, and some floated away in the wind. I don't know where they went.

"No more, I have nothing left, please let me go, please let me go!"

"I don't want to die!"

Lin Yi was a little confused.

"I'm not-"

Lin Yi wanted to explain. After all, he was a little curious about what happened to the man.

Moreover, the man could see him.

If the man still didn't listen to him, Lin Yi planned to hide his figure, get close to him, and use his emotional control ability to calm him down first.

However, before Lin Yi could finish his words, the man's shouts stopped abruptly.

The man's pupils were dilated, his face still showed a frightened and helpless expression, and he fell straight down.

He is dead.

Lin Yi noticed that the soles of the shoes on the man's feet were badly worn.

After getting closer, Lin Yi smelled a smell on the man's body - the smell of sweat, blood, and some other smells, as if something else had been wiped on him.

However, when Lin Yi saw the debris scattered on the ground, he froze.

"This is......"

"The information Uncle An found?!"

Lin Yi quickly picked up the fragments on the ground. Unfortunately, some of the fragments floated away in the wind, but the remaining fragments were exactly the same as the information Lin Yi had read.

That was the information found by An Chengdao, and it also recorded the information on the Mantis.

"Could it be that..."

Lin Yi found it unbelievable, looked down at the dead man beside him, and murmured in a low voice: "He is the skeleton that Uncle An met back then?!"

Lin Yi quickly picked up the man's backpack and after looking through it, he learned the man's identity - a doctor from the central hospital.

"Central Hospital?" Lin Yi frowned. If he remembered correctly, Zhang Cheng once stayed in this hospital when he was young. It was at that time that he discovered the existence of aliens.

There were very few things in the man's bag. It was obvious that he was scared. He probably wanted to leave this place after discovering the existence of the alien.

But because I was too hasty, I basically didn’t bring anything with me.

Of course, it is also possible that he brought a lot of food and water, but because of the alien capture, he hid in the mountains for a long time and ate all the supplies he brought.

As for what he put on his body, it was probably to eliminate the mantis pheromones.

He has lived here for a long time, and due to the long-term fear, he is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The appearance of Lin Yi made him mistakenly think that he was being chased by aliens. Fatigue and fear caused his little remaining vitality to dissipate.

Although he knew the man's identity, Lin Yi was still a little confused - why did he appear here?

Is the "him" that Mirai Lin refers to actually this man?

Or, in the future, Lin Yi hopes that he can save this man?

After thinking about it, Lin Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The things this man was carrying seemed to be different from what An Chengdao had found.

"key!"

Lin Yi looked through his backpack again, and there was no key in it at all.

"Could it be that..." Lin Yi took out the key to civilization.

"The reason why you brought me here is so that I can leave the key?"

Lin Yi couldn't understand.

You know, back then, he suffered a lot from the keys and even died several times.

However, Lin Yi remembered clearly that the key was finally smashed.

"Does the destruction of the key mean that the civilization of the Far North will not be opened?"

"If civilization cannot be obtained, will the conspiracy of the new humans fail?"

While thinking, Lin Yi also noticed another thing-the documents torn by the man did not have the handwriting that was originally written.

"Your own destiny needs to be perfected by your own hands."

Lin Yi kept repeating what the first generation Lin Yi said.

At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to understand something.

The reason why he is a brand new destiny is because this destiny is arranged by himself.

From beginning to end, he followed his own guidance and jumped out of the plan of the new humans, so he became a brand new destiny that could replace the destiny of the first generation Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took out a pen from his bag and wrote a familiar sentence on the document-

The Far North? Peach Blossom Spring? The last hope of mankind?

Of course, Lin Yi deliberately changed the handwriting, so that when his past self saw these words, he would not feel familiar.

Put the fragments in the bag and leave the key behind.

These things will stay here until An Chengdao arrives.

Then, the past Lin Yi will start a new destiny, a destiny that belongs only to Lin Yi.

After doing all this, the silk thread wrapped around his hand tightened again.

Lin Yi slowly floated up and flew towards the light.

When the light faded, the streets of the city were still very familiar.

Lin Yi frowned.

Why?

He had obviously left the key, why didn't he go back?

Could it be that there was something else he needed to complete?

"Who are you?" A strange voice came from behind.

Looking back, an old man who looked old stared at Lin Yi intently.

The old man held a bottle of wine in his hand, and his whole body was full of alcohol.

Lin Yi sighed. It seemed that his appearance out of thin air had been seen again.

This drunkard, could it be the "he" mentioned by Lin Yi in the future?

"You are... the Chosen One?!" Perhaps it was Lin Yi's appearance out of thin air that made the old man alert.

The moment the voice fell, the old man's body began to swell.

His skin began to break, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

The guy in front of him was not a human at all, he was——

A new alien!
