Chapter 128 A shocking secret

After everyone sat down, they started chatting and playing cards.

After a few rounds, Lin Hao could see that the people in front of him placed bets very casually and were not very obsessed with winning or losing.

Lin Hao felt that these people were of considerable importance, so in the following conversation, he intentionally or unintentionally guided the topic of conversation. As a result, Lin Hao learned some things from them that ordinary people could not know.

For example, this world was once a normal world. About four hundred years ago, some kind of accident occurred, causing the people in this world to gain the ability to transfer other people's lives overnight.

Over the next hundred years, many things happened because of that incident, such as the disintegration of the country, the restructuring of regional power, wars and riots, etc.

After they talked about this, they kept silent about what happened afterwards, and Lin Hao didn't dare to ask any further questions. It was already great to be able to hear these secrets.

However, through their stories, Lin Hao learned that this world had never experienced an industrial society, but had entered the electric age directly from the Middle Ages.

This also explains why there are no things like bicycles in this world.

Lin Hao was very curious about what the incident was and what happened afterwards that created the deformed world we have today.

In fact, when the skills were solidified at the beginning, I found that there was a problem. After all, the solidified skills were not right. One skill actually had three abilities.

At that time, the system also prompted that the rules of time and life were merging, which seemed to be caused by that incident.

It also allowed me to use the solidification skill for the second time, let~!

Hmm~!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Lin Hao's mind. He had the ability to go back in time, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to get some information!
As long as you put a gun to their heads, they dare not disobey and tell you the secrets that interest them.

Then I looked around casually. The room was less than 200 square meters and looked very nice.

However, each of them brought several bodyguards with him, and there was no way for him to deal with them. Besides, there were dozens of bodyguards outside who could come in to provide support at any time.

You have to think of a way!
Afterwards, Lin Hao showed the cards in his hand, and as expected, he lost 1100 years, with 7450 years left. The reason for losing the game was that he did not use the time rewind skill.

I have used it four times before, with wins and losses. The time on my hand has reached 4 years. It doesn’t matter if I lost 8550 years this time, I will get it back later anyway.

Then Lin Hao said: "It's getting late, do you want to continue playing?"

Philip did not speak, but looked at the other four people. Seeing that they did not care, he said:

"Then let's stop here for today, we'll play again next time!"

Philip and Sylvia sent Lin Hao out the door. In Sylvia's reluctant gaze, Lin Hao waved goodbye to her and drove away.

Afterwards, Lin Hao drove his sports car directly back to the hotel. Fortunately, he arrived back at the hotel without any accidents. Only then did Lin Hao breathe a sigh of relief. Since he could return safely, it meant that they had no bad intentions towards him.

"System, use time reversal!"

In a blink of an eye, Lin Hao returned to Philip's manor again. His time was still 8550. At this time, the cards had just been dealt. Lin Hao directly discarded the cards and said:
"Sorry, excuse me!"

No one else cared, so Lin Hao walked to the door and directly used his skill, the Traceless Stretching Spell, to expand the room to about 1200 cubic meters.

Then use your consciousness to control this space, block out the sound, and prohibit entry and exit!
At this time, the people in the room were frightened by the sudden change when they saw that the room suddenly became twice as large, and the bodyguards also took out their pistols and were on guard in all directions.

However, when they took out their pistols, they found that their bodies were out of control, as if someone was hanging in the air by their heads.

Then the pistol suddenly flew out, the muzzle pointed at him, and there were a few loud noises:

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
In an instant, several bodyguards fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown, but Lin Hao didn't care!

Fortunately, the space expanded by the Traceless Extension Spell is completely under his control. Even whether the sound can be transmitted depends on his own thoughts.

Therefore, people inside and outside the room could not enter or exit normally without their consent, which provided Lin Hao with an excellent opportunity.

After dealing with those irrelevant people, Lin Hao pointed a gun at five people including Philip.

The five people looked over in horror at the same time, especially Philip, whose face was full of disbelief. He didn't expect that Lin Hao was actually a vicious thug.

Lin Hao was not polite either. He picked up the gun and pointed it at a person and asked directly:
"Can anyone help me out and finish what we were talking about?"

"What, what topic!" As he said this, he glanced at Lin Hao's pistol.

Lin Hao said seriously: "That incident! What on earth happened!"

The man being pointed at by the gun stammered:
"We, we, no, no, no, no~"

"boom!"

Seeing that he couldn't even speak clearly, Lin Hao just dealt with him directly. He would be back later anyway, so it didn't matter at all!

Then he pointed the gun at another person and said indifferently:

"you!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was so brutal, the man who was pointed at by the gun did not even dare to stutter, and spoke clearly:
"We actually don't know what happened, but suddenly everyone has that ability!"

"Is there anything like a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth happening?" Lin Hao asked again.

"No, according to records, everyone at that time suddenly gained the ability to transfer the life energy of others!" After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Hao did not shoot.

When Lin Hao heard this, he thought of the system prompt, which seemed to mention life energy, so he said:

“What is life energy?”

"Tell me about it in detail!" He looked at them indifferently. At this moment, if Lin Hao wanted to, he could kill these people directly.

After saying that, Lin Hao looked at them coldly. Everyone was frightened by his eyes, so they told him everything they knew.

Looking at the people rushing to speak, Lin Hao stopped them and said, "Speak one by one!"

"After more than a hundred years of chaos, some methods have finally been discovered."

Through their stories, Lin Hao learned that about three hundred years ago, scientists in this world discovered through research that every person has life energy in their body.

As time goes by, when the life energy is consumed, that is the moment of death. The ability to transfer the life of others is essentially to transfer the life energy of others. After repeated experiments, it was found that transferring the life energy of others can only gain about one year of survival, and then the person dies.

Later, through targeted research, it was discovered that although everyone is consuming life energy all the time, they are also constantly generating life energy.

Based on this principle, scientists have created a heritable genetic drug by unknown means. After use, it can quantify life energy and display it on the left arm. This is the origin of the time watch.

However, although life energy can be produced by itself, the output will change with age.

For example, people are at their peak at the age of 25, and their productivity will last until around 40, after which they will enter a period of decline, and by the age of 60 they will be unable to make ends meet.

Therefore, after the genetic medicine is adjusted again, it will generate a built-in storage device in the time watch, which is specifically used to collect the life energy produced by the human body.

When a human dies, their body will be taken away and processed. At this time, the life energy stored in the body will be extracted and then circulated into the time bank system.

This is why the age of everyone in this world is fixed at 25, because this is the peak period of the human life cycle.

He turned his gaze towards Philip unconsciously. No wonder his Wes Bank would keep raising the interest rates on loans in the slums, as well as increasing prices and taxes.

The purpose is nothing more than two:
On the one hand, if no one dies, the consequence will inevitably be a population explosion, and then there will not be enough supplies for human survival. Eventually, war will break out again due to competition for living space, or self-destruction will occur.

Another reason is to make some human beings in this world become leeks of life energy. Leeks have a characteristic that the more diligently they are harvested, the greater the yield.

Therefore, turning this part of humanity into leeks will allow these powerful people to live forever, and the people with the best cost-effectiveness are undoubtedly those in the slums.

And they also have plans to eliminate some "backward" production capacity. If this is the case, everything can be explained.

Suddenly, Lin Hao thought of something. When watching this drama, time policeman Raymond Lyon came to find Philip, and Philip was talking on the phone with a man and a woman, one in Europe and the other in Central Asia.

"Mr. Weiss, don't you have anything to say?" Lin Hao pointed the gun at Philip.

"What do you want to know!" Philip said fearfully, completely losing his previous gentlemanly demeanor.

When Philip saw Lin Hao's gun pointed at him, he was extremely frightened, otherwise he would not have carried seven or eight bodyguards with him.

Seeing this, Lin Hao was afraid that he was hiding something, so he said vaguely:

"Time zone!"

Philip breathed a sigh of relief. He really knew this, so he said:

"The story of time zone division is long. It all starts with the invention of genetic medicine!"

Lin Hao picked up another gun and said:

"I have plenty of time!"

Seeing that Philip was still trying to play tricks at this time, Lin Hao said slowly:
"Don't worry, no one will rush in. Just talk slowly and I'll listen slowly!"

Philip had no choice but to tell the subsequent events again, not daring to delay time deliberately.

It turns out that after the successful development of genetic drugs, countries, warlords, politicians, representatives of powerful forces, etc. in various regions have become interested in this genetic drug that digitizes life, which means they can live forever.

Especially when he knew that he could extract the life points that people had accumulated after they died, he was immediately ecstatic.

As a result, powerful figures from all sides began to divide up their territories, which was the predecessor of time zones!
In order to grow their own "leeks", they tempt all humans to inject genetic drugs that can make them immortal.

But not all people are willing to change their genes, so those who have not been injected with genetic drugs also found a way to gain a piece of land, which is the predecessor of the 12th time zone.

However, as time went by, each force had a piece of leek field in its own territory, but human greed has no limit.

They looked at those who had not been injected with the gene, and tears of emotion flowed from their mouths.

So everyone worked together to make the injectable genetic medicine into something that can be taken orally, such as various foods and drinking water, etc. However, it was discovered not long after.

But no one gave up. Later, they developed a genetic gas that could be transmitted through the air. As a result, the whole world was filled with gene-changing ingredients, and from then on no one could escape the fate of becoming a leek.

The 12th time zone has thus become a public leeks field for all parties.

You should know that once the left arm shows time, it means that the life energy generated by oneself is not used for self-consumption, but is collected in the storage device. The life energy can only go out but not come in, and the consequence is waiting for death.

As the tools of the leeks, they naturally cannot know this information.

As a result, the "useless" people in various time zones, as well as some robbers and bandits, were also driven to the 12 time zone, and the 12 time zone evolved into the slums it is today.

I have to say, this is a genius idea. It can not only make oneself immortal, but also allow the world to develop "healthily". This is simply a tool for ruling.

"By the way, what role does the time police play in this?" Lin Hao asked curiously.

He has never been able to figure out what role the time police plays in this process.

"They must maintain the planned flow of time and ensure the timely harvesting of life energy!"

"Oh!" Lin Hao sighed.

No wonder the time policeman named Raymond did not respond to the deaths in the slums, but instead relentlessly pursued Will, the man who accidentally gained a hundred years of time.

Fortunately, after doing this for a while, I learned this shocking secret and understood the nature of this world.

Although there are no substantial benefits for the time being, it is still of great significance for me to complete the task of changing my destiny.

I have learned almost everything I need to ask, and it is time for me to "go back".

"System, use time reversal!"

In an instant, Lin Hao returned to Philip's manor again, and his time went back to the year 8550. The cards had just been dealt, and Lin Hao knew he could not win this time, so he folded his cards directly.

Lin Hao looked at his time and saw that there were still 8500 years left. After this round of cards was over, he said:
"It's getting late, do you want to continue playing?"

As expected, today's game ended just like the first time.
