The Sixth Death Replay

Mu Chenyi pinched the silk garment between his fingers, and soon, the system's notification chimed in.

"Ding! Detected B-rank item: Concealment Veil!""Concealment Veil: Hides the user's presence. In front of non-human creatures, it grants effective invisibility. Duration: 5 minutes. Cooldown: 8 hours."

Invisibility against non-human creatures?

Mu Chenyi's eyes lit up. This was a lifesaving tool!

"Well, do you believe me now?" Chi Weize raised his chin smugly.

"I do."

Mu Chenyi nodded. With this item, their chances of reaching the city center had significantly increased.

"Since I've shown you my sincerity, don't you think it's fair for you to share what you know about this instance?" Chi Weize asked, his curiosity evident.

"Alright."

Mu Chenyi reluctantly shared most of the information he had obtained from his last Death Replay—including what Lao Zhao had told him about the small boxes hidden in the Forest Park Lake and how Anran Squad suspected the mayor was the mastermind behind the catastrophe.

However, he deliberately left out certain crucial details.

For one, he did not mention the Ender's Dagger. Instead, he claimed that Anran Squad had stolen the small box he retrieved from the lake.

Additionally, he kept silent about his suspicion that Chen Wan'er might actually be the true mastermind.

His reasoning was simple: his suspicion of Chen Wan'er was still unconfirmed, and if he revealed it too early, she might become alert. That would make his Ender's Dagger far less effective in delivering a sudden, decisive kill when the moment came.

At that moment, a system notification rang in his mind.

"Ding! [Eye of Death] cooldown has expired!"

Mu Chenyi's pupils contracted slightly.

"Brother, should we head for the city center now and meet up with your teammates?" Chi Weize asked, eager to move.

After entering this apocalyptic scenario, he had been lying low, blending into the crowd.

But who could have predicted that on the very first day of the instance, someone would obtain the key artifact?

This immediately triggered the second phase—'Riot', forcing all disguised non-humans to drop their charade.

There was no more pretending now!

Under normal circumstances, an instance lasted a full month, and key artifacts only appeared after at least ten to twenty days.

But now?

The very first day had already escalated to chaos!

"Wait a moment."

Mu Chenyi pinched the bridge of his nose and silently activated "Eye of Death".

"Wait for what…?"

Chi Weize had just started to speak when he suddenly saw Mu Chenyi's eyes glow red, his entire body going still.

This…?!

Chi Weize's heart thundered violently.

That posture, that glow—

Wasn't this the exact reaction when a prophecy-type player activated their ability?!

Holy sh*t!!!

This newbie… has a prophecy-type skill?!

As a government-affiliated official, Chi Weize had read the statistical reports on all newly drawn skills.

In China's player base, the skill distribution was as follows:

Combat Skills: 60% Support Skills: 38% Special Skills: Around 2%

But why weren't prophecy-type skills included in the statistics?

Because across all of China, there were only 38 prophecy-type players!

Yes, exactly 38 people!

Among them, 37 were A-rank, and only 1 was S-rank—

That one person was the legendary Chang Yeqing!

Every prophecy Chang Yeqing made had saved countless lives.

Who would have thought that this business trip would lead him to encounter a prophecy-type talent?

Chi Weize had no doubt that Mu Chenyi had indeed acquired a prophecy-type ability. He had seen prophecy-type players use their skills before, and every time, they looked exactly like Mu Chenyi did now!

Calming himself, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.

He had agreed too easily!

Prophecy-type players' revival coins were too precious.

According to records, the probability of prophecy-type players obtaining revival coins was exceptionally low.

For combat-type players, surviving one disaster-level apocalypse almost guaranteed them a revival coin.

But for prophecy-type players?

They had to survive at least a destruction-level apocalypse before they had a chance to receive one!

And that was just for A-rank prophecy-type players.

As far as Chi Weize knew, Master Chang Yeqing, the only S-rank prophecy player, had an incredibly low probability of obtaining revival coins.

Even though the government assigned top-tier combat experts to personally protect Master Chang, he had only managed to obtain a single revival coin from a destruction-level apocalypse.

Every revival coin Chang Yeqing obtained was considered a national strategic asset!

Now, the question was—

What rank was Mu Chenyi's prophecy skill?

If it was S-rank…

Meanwhile, Mu Chenyi was completely unaware that his prophecy skill had been discovered.

His vision had already shifted into a new scene.

"This photograph..."

The future version of himself spoke, his voice filled with disbelief.

In front of Mu Chenyi, a particular photograph appeared.

It was a family portrait—

A loving couple with two children standing between them.

The siblings, a boy and a girl, were positioned between their smiling parents, who exuded warmth and happiness.

The father and mother in the picture were none other than the mayor and his wife.

As for the two children standing in front of them—

If Mu Chenyi's guess was correct, the boy was the mayor's son.

And the girl…

She held a toy gun in her hands, her lips pursed as if she was mimicking the sound "biu biu!".

The mayor's daughter…

As an observer, Mu Chenyi carefully studied the girl in the photograph.

There was a subtle but undeniable resemblance between her and Chen Wan'er!

So it really is her?

No wonder Mu Chenyi had felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first met Chen Wan'er—

He just couldn't recall why.

Now he knew!

Chen Wan'er was none other than the long-deceased daughter of the Jiang City mayor—

Lu Wan!

The tragedy had happened six years ago, when Mu Chenyi was still in middle school.

At that time, there was a sensational citywide news report.

Back then, Lu Mingtian was not yet the mayor.

His daughter, Lu Wan, had been kidnapped!

By the time Mu Chenyi learned of the news, it was already too late—

Lu Wan had been executed.

Rumors said that the kidnappers and Lu Mingtian had failed to reach an agreement, leading them to kill the girl in a fit of rage.

After Lu Wan's brutal death, her grandmother, Madame Chen, who had adored her, couldn't bear the grief.

Within a few weeks, she passed away as well.

Chen Wan'er… Madame Chen…

Suddenly, Mu Chenyi noticed something off.

Why did Chen Wan'er tell him that her surname was "Chen"?

Why not use her father's surname, "Lu", or even her mother's surname, "Lin"?

Why did she choose to take the surname of her grandmother?

Was it simply to hide her true identity?

Or was there something more sinister behind this?

If Chen Wan'er really was Lu Wan—

Then the probability of her being the true mastermind just skyrocketed!
