Told You I Can Turn Back Time

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Making Up One’s Mind

After wandering around the university for the afternoon, Lin Xing dragged Lv Ming along to have dinner in the cafeteria before contentedly returning to building C.

This day’s experience, especially in contrast to the chaos of the Mirror World, made him appreciate the beauty of the present world even more.

However, the various experiences, memories, and impacts of the Mirror World had not disappeared for Lin Xing; instead, they turned into a shadow looming over his heart.

Lin Xing knew that as time passed, the threat of the Mirror World to the present world would only grow larger.

The peaceful society before him would one day be dragged into endless battles and wars.

With a trace of worry in his heart, Lin Xing returned to the hospital.

Upon returning to the hospital room, he saw Jing Shiyu tidying up the backpack he carried with him.

Even his cat plush toy had been washed and hung up.

Zhao Wanxi was quietly sitting aside.

Seeing Lin Xing, Jing Shiyu smiled and said, "You went out for a stroll, do you feel better now?"

Looking at her smiling face, Lin Xing always felt that he had a deep impression of Jing Shiyu, but the specific memories had already become somewhat vague.

He glanced at the cat plush toy hanging to dry and thought to himself, "Contact with the present world can at most solidify my self-awareness, stimulate memories from my past in this world."

"But memories from the Mirror World can’t be helped."

"If I continue reversing time, I will forget even more important memories."

Thinking that he might forget Bai Yiyi, Jing Shiyu, and many others who had helped him, many important people, a strong sense of unwillingness surged through Lin Xing’s heart.

So should he stop using time reversal?

"No..."

The widespread impact of the Mirror World on the present world was imminent, the friction between the two worlds was almost visible and escalating.

Lin Xing did not want this peaceful world to become like the Mirror World—filled with war, combat, and all kinds of unrestrained powerful maniacs.

Although many people in this world were somewhat problematic, it was still a beautiful world, and Lin Xing wanted to protect this beauty.

And then, in a year... no, now it should be about ten months until that unknown disaster.

To prevent these, using the ability to reverse time was the most effective option.

But continuous time reversal would have an endless impact on his memory.

"The usefulness of a diary is limited... If I can’t even remember clearly, then just a diary is like reading someone else’s story, at most it can be used as a reminder."

"I need to truly control my own memories, eliminate the side effects of time reversal."

A flicker of determination flashed through Lin Xing’s mind.

"I must completely resolve the issue of memories at the Taiqing Sect, and then, using time reversal, gain powerful strength to deal with various potential future disasters."

As Lin Xing made up his mind, Jing Shiyu, noticing his dazed expression, asked, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Xing immediately snapped back to reality, shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just... am eager to get to the Taiqing Sect."

Jing Shiyu comforted, "Don’t rush about your memory issues, the waters of the Taiqing Sect run deep, you must proceed cautiously once you’re there."

Lin Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

"By the way," Lin Xing curiously asked, "How do you plan to cooperate with Lv Ming and the others?"

Jing Shiyu said, "It involves some trade, staff training, tool sponsorship and the like."

"Like exchanging some of your tools, clothing, food here, for some resources from our world."

"Or having people from here go to our world to learn skills."

Lin Xing curiously said, "But isn’t this back and forth not very convenient? Are there no problems?"

Jing Shiyu smiled, "You’ll know in a while."

Saying this, she took out a box of metal spheres and placed it before Lin Xing, "The journey north is very dangerous, the equipment you carry is still too sparse, I happened to come across these and thought I’d give them to you."

"Speaking of which, many creations of your world are very interesting, if combined with our world’s martial arts and spells, they often produce miraculous effects."

"Like this one, I had Lv Ming have someone design it for me; I call it the Great Sun Flame Dragon."

Jing Shiyu picked up a metal ball about the size of a mangosteen and introduced, "Inside the metal shell is a kind of combustible called... aluminum..."

Lin Xing was slightly startled, "Thermite?"

Jing Shiyu’s eyes lit up, nodding continuously, "Yes, yes, that’s the weird name."

"Anyway, you throw this out, heat it with a talisman, and the combustible inside will explode."

"It’s much more powerful than using oil to control objects."

"This trip north is dangerous; take more with you."

Lin Xing was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself, "Replacing oil with thermite? The power must be much greater... I remember thermite can burn at two thousand or three thousand degrees..."

Taking the Great Sun Flame Dragon handed to him by Jing Shiyu, he felt that each piece weighed about a kilogram and couldn’t help but think, "Could this be a modified incendiary?"

The old Lin Xing generally didn’t use such things.

But whether it was due to the memory of repeated life-and-death struggles affecting him or not wanting to interrupt Jing Shiyu, who was brimming with excitement in front of him, he didn’t object this time.

...

Watching Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu on the monitor, Lv Ming muttered, "This woman is right; it seems she indeed has some influence over Lin Xing."

A staff member nearby said, "But providing such dangerous weapons, is that okay?"

Lv Ming said, "Ever since we’ve increased the investment in psychological therapy, several patients in Building C have improved."

"Judging from Lin Xing’s reactions this time, after deliberate guidance by the treatment team, his personality and mental state have stabilized significantly."

"The higher-ups believe that under such circumstances, a more powerful weapon will help Lin Xing stay stable."

...

Elsewhere.

Jing Shiyu insisted on pulling Lin Xing to test the new weapon’s power.

Puppet Girl and Zhao Wanxi followed behind.

They arrived at an underground plaza.

Seeing the vast underground space, Lin Xing said in surprise, "There’s such a place?"

Jing Shiyu replied, "I had Lv Ming and the others find it; they said it’s to prepare for the invasion from Mirror World, with many underground facilities ready here."

"It’s perfect for our use now."

Lin Xing thought that Jing Shiyu had probably been here many times, feeling that some areas were even more familiar than himself.

At that moment, Jing Shiyu, somewhat eagerly, pointed to a metal cylinder not far away and said, "Come, aim at that and try."

The metal ball and the talisman flew out under the operation of spiritual thoughts.

"Heaven and earth naturally, heed my command, fire come!"

Accompanied by the ultra-high-speed chant spreading through the air, a burst of fire exploded on the metal ball.

Then, dazzling flames shot up into the sky.

A fiery dragon, under Lin Xing’s control, charged fiercely toward the metal cylinder on the ground.

Terrifying heat waves erupted, and the dazzling firelight seemed to ignite a small sun.

The entire metal cylinder seemed to melt rapidly under the embrace of the flame dragon.

After burning intensely for nearly a minute, the flames gradually extinguished.

Looking at the large pool of molten iron, Zhao Wanxi’s eyes flashed with deep fear.

Bai Yiyi was also shocked by the scene, "This Great Sun Flame Dragon really isn’t weak."

Jing Shiyu, however, excitedly cheered on.

Lin Xing watched Jing Shiyu, feeling that her joyful demeanor was like a little girl who had received her beloved toy, revealing a side of her that Lin Xing had never seen before... her innocent and carefree side.
