Chapter 459 My Past Self
Having finally escaped the crazy internet cafe with her curly-eared friend, Tang Zijun sat on a bench by the roadside with a bowl of instant noodles in her hand.
I didn't realize I was so popular in this day and age!
Curly Ears straightened his uniform, which had just been groped several times by a few bold women, leaving it wrinkled.
"Short videos are just emerging in this era, and everything is in its infancy. You won't see a rabbit dressed like you all the time. Besides... you are indeed quite cute."
After finishing her soup, Tang Zijun casually tossed the instant noodle box into her personal storage space.
According to Suolin's explanation of the timeline, the timeline is a relatively resilient entity. Ordinary influences will not bring about significant changes to the timeline, unless it is a famous historical event or the killing of someone. Otherwise, the timeline will not be affected.
That being said, they'd better not be too ostentatious, which is why Tang Zijun didn't let those crazy rabbit lovers take pictures.
Oh, right, Tang Zijun.
Suddenly, Curly-Ears raised its head.
"Um?"
It's 2014 now, right?
"yes."
Hearing Tang Zijun's response, Juan Erduo looked on with curiosity. "What are you doing in this timeline?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's expression became somewhat complicated.
"Me in this timeline..."
2014, Snow City, Mudanjiang Riverbank late at night.
The moonlight poured onto the river, creating shimmering waves.
Right there on this dimly lit riverbank, a sudden burst of water shattered the tranquility.
With a loud splash, a gaunt figure, soaked to the bone, was thrown out of the water and crashed heavily onto the rocks on the shore with a groan of pain.
At the same time, a figure clad in silver armor slowly emerged from the water. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he did not appear from the water, but rather rose slowly from the turbulent reflections on the surface.
Along with the figure appeared a murmur that sounded like it came from hell.
"You're the one who fell into the water, right? You like being a water ghost, right? So you're the one who won't let me take a proper bath, right?"

The gaunt figure shuddered involuntarily upon hearing the voice.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
He struggled to his feet, revealing a pale and terrifying face, but his expression was now filled with horror.
"I really didn't know it was you. Please, please forgive me this once, I beg you..."
"How many times this week has this happened? I'm just asking you how many times this week has happened." The man in armor took a step and walked slowly on the water.
"You think you're so capable? Last month I just sunburned a drowning person to death in the Sahara Desert. Hey, before I could even have a couple of days of peace, you've popped up again."
"Sewage comes out as soon as I turn on the tap, sewage comes out as soon as I turn on the tap, and you expect me to let you off the hook?!"
"I dare not, I really dare not, I really, I really didn't know this person was you... I, I thought..." The gaunt figure stammered, and a continuous stream of dirty water flowed from his mouth, soon wetting the ground beneath his feet.
"What did you think?"
"I... I thought you were... Go to hell!!"
Suddenly changing the subject, the gaunt figure spat out a jet of water, heading straight for the figure clad in silver armor not far in front of him.
【Masked Drive--】
brush-!!
A flash of silver light, and the surging water arrow was instantly cut in two, flying off in different directions.
The sword's momentum didn't diminish; after cleaving the water, it swept through the air and sliced the withered figure in two.
However, the gaunt figure did not show any sign of pain. He simply swayed, and then his body, which had been broken in two, turned into a pool of dirty water and reformed into its original form.
"Heh... I knew you lot couldn't keep a straight face." The figure in silver armor held a knight's sword, his tone icy. "You think you can get away with this just because you know a little elemental manipulation?"
[Attack and Domination!]
A resounding metallic sound emanated from the belt, accompanied by a dazzling silver light rapidly gathering between the legs.
"I don't usually use this trick in the real world, so you're out of luck."
With its feet together, the silver-armored figure suddenly soared into the air, leaping high into the sky in the blink of an eye, while the energy on its feet rose to an extremely terrifying level.
Upon seeing this, a look of horror flashed in the eyes of the gaunt figure. Without saying a word, he transformed into countless streams of water and scattered in all directions, hoping to escape with this skill.
However, a mocking laugh came from the sky, and then the silver figure, accompanied by a gale, suddenly descended from the sky and kicked straight at one of the streams of water.
Click!
A crystal, sparkling and translucent, suddenly flew out from the bursting water and then landed steadily in the hand of the silver figure.
The air fell silent for a moment, then a curtain of water poured down like raindrops, dripping onto the ground and armor, reflecting the bright moonlight.
He examined the transparent crystal in his hand, which shimmered with silver light. His armor vanished into thin air, revealing a young face.
"Fortunately, the position of the mirror core won't change, otherwise it would really take some effort to kill this guy."
Looking at the puddle of water on the ground, Tang Zijun pouted.
"You really think I learned nothing from the previous battles?"
But soon, a look of fear crept onto his face.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no... I have a chemistry test tomorrow!"
With a scream, Tang Zijun leaped into the water and disappeared into the shimmering surface of the river.
After he disappeared, on the bridge not far away, a man and a rabbit slowly poked their heads out, cautiously observing the riverbank that had returned to silence.
"I told you, I can't stay still in this timeline..." Tang Zijun looked at the spot where her other self had disappeared and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Curly-Ears looked at Tang Zijun with a strange expression. "That, that's a captain-level Greedy One, and you actually dominated him the whole time?!"
"It's alright, I've only had the belt for less than a year," Tang Zijun shrugged and explained.
"In terms of combat strength alone, I'm not afraid of anyone except for the executive level. However, some of the greedy ones have rather disgusting mechanics, and I've spent the past year familiarizing myself with their fighting style."
"This is too weird..." Curly-eared man couldn't help but mutter.
"It's not as outrageous as you think. The Wolf Rider Armor itself has the combat power of an officer. It's just that I didn't know how to use it at first. If it were me now, I'm confident that I could shorten the time to the destruction of the Greedy Ones to within eight months."
"Hiss—" Curly-eared gasped.
She didn't know much about Tang Zijun, but she was quite clear about his personality. This guy was always very modest. If he said he could shorten it to eight months, then the actual time would probably be at most half a year.
How should I put it?
No wonder he's a veteran player who's done a second playthrough; he's managed to speedrun to this extent.
After a pause, Curly Ears asked curiously, "But aren't you afraid of affecting the reverse world by using the inversion portal in this timeline? Judging from the timeline, the God of Mirror Devouring Greed shouldn't be dead yet, right?"
"He is not dead, but he is sealed. In other words, his divinity is currently in a state of loss. My appearance will not affect him, and similarly, he will not know of my existence," Tang Zijun said casually.
"I see." Curly-eared guy nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Wait, if you go and kill the God of Mirror Devouring Greed now, wouldn't you have two godhoods?"
"The idea is good, but do you know how much this will affect the timeline? Putting aside how we're going to free the God of Mirror Devouring from the seal, even if I do kill Him, where will I get the Godhood of the God of Mirror Devouring from after I die?"
"Yes, yes..." Curly-eared girl nodded blankly.
"So don't even think about such wishful thinking." Tang Zijun shrugged.
"So what do we do next? Find a place to hide and wait for Katie to recover so she can come and get us?" Curly-eared blinked.
"Of course not." Tang Zijun ruffled her hair, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. "Next, we'll have to find out exactly where that train from the wasteland crashed."
"From the wasteland world... Ah! You, you wouldn't... "

Seeing the shocked look on Curly Ears' face, Tang Zijun just smiled and didn't say anything.
Even Katie was seriously injured in that confrontation. Did the other side think they could get away unscathed with that broken high-speed train? How could that be possible?
After clashing with the three-headed creature, the two trains flew off to different timelines, and the passengers were thrown to different time points.
Tang Zijun had been keeping a close eye on the direction the other train had crashed, meaning that the three-headed creature had also crashed somewhere here along with its train.
