How is that possible!
There are obviously still 7 and a half minutes left! ! !
Xie Zhuxin stared at the system countdown in her mind.
[Current countdown: 7 minutes and 29 seconds]
Look! The countdown is still running, how could it possibly fail?
Impossible!
No reason! ! !
Xie Zhuxin refused to admit this cruel reality.
No, there is no time, I have to get to the roof quickly!
She turned around mechanically, walked into the entrance of the building, found the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the top floor.
The light in the elevator was frighteningly white.
The sticky white light on her hand made it even more strange.
What the hell is this?
Xie Zhuxin raised her finger, took a serious look, then put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it gently.
A huge fishy smell rushed straight into the nose.
"Ugh——"
Her stomach was churning violently, as if she was going to vomit it up in the next second.
[Dip! The host's mental fluctuations are detected and the host is advised to start a third chance immediately! ]
But Xie Zhuxin bit her lip and stared at the rising elevator floor, refusing to give up.
Nonsense, the mission did not fail!
She still has time!
Ding Xiaomei is waiting for her on the roof!
The elevator finally reached the top floor of the 20th floor.
Xie Zhuxin walked out of the elevator and reached the top of the building, only to find that there was no one here.
She refused to give up and walked towards the place where she saw the shadow just downstairs.
Then, look down.
A picture that had not even appeared in her worst nightmares burst into her eyes.
Her legs softened and she sat down on the ground.
At this moment, Xie Zhuxin no longer had any reason to continue to deceive herself.
In the first opportunity, I didn't have time to do anything.
Ding Xiaomei jumped when the countdown ended.
But this time, I called Ding Xiaomei.
As a result, there were clearly 7 and a half minutes left in the countdown, but she had already jumped? !
The reason for the advance this time was obviously because of that phone call I made!
In other words, his arrival, instead of saving Ding Xiaomei’s life, actually accelerated her death!
Why?
Xie Zhuxin sat on the cold roof of Huasheng Building, looking up at the night sky.
What was Ding Xiaomei thinking before she jumped?
Why did she commit suicide?
If you don’t understand the reason, not only will you have no way to prevent this from happening, but it will make it worse!
Unfortunately, since we said goodbye to each other in the hotel elevator on the set of "Bright Moon Journey" last year, I have never cared about this old friend and have no idea about her current situation.
Even after the incident began, Xie Zhuxin had no time to have a good chat with her. He had been running exhausted and racing against the countdown.
Time!
The most important thing is time!
[System, after the countdown reaches zero, will I automatically open a third chance to return to that underground garage? ]
[Answer the host, yes. ]
Xie Zhuxin gritted his teeth.
The first two opportunities have fully proved that starting from Hou Yize’s birthday party is a dead end.
Whether you take the car arranged by the villa butler or take a taxi yourself, you can't reserve too much time in one hour.
Now that it has been determined that convincing Ding Xiaomei is not that simple, then she needs more communication time, the more the better!
[System, can you push the start time of the opportunity forward? I need to go forward 20 minutes, no, at least 30 minutes! ]
As long as the time point is pushed forward, Xie Zhuxin can take a taxi and leave more conveniently before arriving at the remote villa area, saving more time.
Even if Hou Yize does not let herself get off the bus, she can start taking a taxi 30 minutes in advance to save the waiting time behind.
But the system does not respond.
[System? ]
Strangely, this is the first time that the system did not answer its own question in time.
Not even a perfunctory cliché.
[System? Can you do it? Just tell me - can you, or can't you? ]
Xie Zhuxin concentrated his attention and asked again in his mind.
Although I know that this requirement is difficult to handle, it is equivalent to wanting to travel to the past, and not just any plug-in system can do it.
But this may be the only way she can succeed.
[Yes, yes. Just are you willing to pay the price? ]
The system was stuck for a long time and finally gave a response.
I don’t know if it was Xie Zhuxin’s illusion. The question and answer system was originally very rigid, but now his words suddenly have a more human touch.

But she no longer cares about this.
【What price? 】
【The "Brilliant Yisheng" system has limited functions that can be loaded at the same time. If you want to enable the "Time Backtracking" function, you must uninstall other functions accordingly, such as the "Substance Synthesis" function represented by "Daily Drawing Cards". ]
[Are you saying that you can no longer use "Daily Card Drawing" today? No problem...]
[It will not be available from now on. Because the load of the "time backtracking" function is too large, it will destroy the functional modules of the entire system. Therefore, "time backtracking" can only be used this time. 】
From now on, you can no longer draw cards every day?
Xie Zhuxin only hesitated for a second and then figured it out.
In the absence of special events, daily card drawing has almost become a world of C and D garbage clothing cards.
Apart from using it as your own daily clothing library, or as a sample of your own brand clothing, it has almost no use.
It has been more than three years since she got the "Brilliant Clothes Student" system. She has a mountain of clothing cards in stock and a lot of high-quality cards.
Even if no new card is credited in the future, it will not affect anything.
If you can exchange this useless function for more time and save Ding Xiaomei’s life, then it’s not a loss!
[Yes, I paid the price! 】
【More than that. When the "time backtracking" function is enabled, the time point can be pushed forward, but how far it can be pushed requires other energy. Just like after the engine is started, it still burns fuel. 】
【Other energy? I don't have it...]
[You do. Every system card contains energy. ]
Xie Zhuxin was stunned for a moment before he understood what the system meant.
Since all the system cards in your hand have energy.
So in order to get the "time backtracking" engine running, we need to burn these cards as fuel?
[How many cards are needed? ]
[If you look back 30 minutes, all of them. ]
All?
Xie Zhuxin's heart suddenly twitched.
She was still calm after losing the "daily card draw" function, but suddenly felt a strong heartache.
Those cards were accumulated day by day over the past three years!
There are many rewards that are the result of one's own entertainment industry career step by step, or are obtained by working hard to complete system events.
Moreover, her current proud figure, flawless beauty, never wrong styling, abundant energy, and other qualities praised by fans as a perfect idol are all given by cards.
Once everything is taken away, what will you have left?
[Current countdown: 0 minutes and 39 seconds]
[Host, after the countdown reaches zero, the third chance will be opened automatically according to the original time point. Please host to decide as soon as possible. ]
The human-like feeling faded away, and the rigid AI-style system came online again.
No time to hesitate!
Xie Zhuxin felt the sticky feeling on her hands that had dried. The terrifying scene she had just seen downstairs flashed through her mind, and she gritted her teeth.
Fight!
Keep a few of the most important ones, and throw away all the others!
[How far can the system go back using all C and D level cards? 】
【3 seconds. ]
So few?
[What about all the B-level cards? ]
[Look back 30 seconds. ]
[Plus A-level cards. ]
[Look back 5 minutes. ]
[Add S-class card. ]
[Look back 30 minutes. ]
Xie Zhuxin took a breath of cold air.
The energy gap between different levels of cards is so huge that it seems impossible to keep too many good cards.
[Current countdown: 0 minutes and 10 seconds]
10 seconds countdown!
Hurry!
[Only keep the skill card "Overnight Balloon", the clothing card "Ring? Flowers in the Mirror", and the suit "Practice Suit? There is a Knight in the North". What about using all the others? ]
She used the "quick card filtering and retrieval" function to select these 3 cards in the shortest time.
They respectively represent a weight loss of 30 pounds, enhanced acting skills, and enough strength to protect oneself.
It is the system capability that I am most unable to let go of.
As for the other things, it’s not that she doesn’t feel distressed, it’s just that she really can’t care about it.
【28 minutes and 15 seconds. 】
Fortunately, it is within the scope of my acceptance.
This is it!
[Just use this plan! ]
The next second after I shouted this sentence in my mind, the system countdown became "0 minutes and 0 seconds".
A familiar spin came over her.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Zhuxin opened her eyes from dizziness and found that she was sitting in a moving car, with the stinky-faced Hou Yize sitting next to her.
[Dip! The third chance opens]
[Current countdown: 88 minutes and 14 seconds]
