By now, Wen Yan actually knows that he's probably already deviated from the direction he took last ti.
He guesses that, last ti, he probably didn't leave any water ghosts alive, but this ti, he made a different choice and let so go.
Just one different decision, and the path could already veer off from last ti's direction.
But Wen Yan still thinks, the way he's choosing now is the best—he can't do things with the mindset that if he chooses wrong, he can just start over again.
That's the difference between him and that guy who can rewind— the other guy doesn't have to worry about ssing up, doesn't have to care if it goes badly one ti.
If it doesn't work once, just try again, then ten tis— as long as mistakes can be made and learned from, there'll eventually be a successful attempt.
Just like what Wen Yan's doing now— using the original foundation of the Scorching Sun Fist, and then starting to carve out sothing new, sothing that never existed before.
With Grandma's buff, gray cloth wrapping around, and then the explosive Great Sun of Scorching Sun, all of that combined lets him find a way to be immortal and break through into a new path.
Once a person knows he truly can't die, he'll naturally start letting loose and doing whatever he wants.
No matter which direction that 'letting loose' heads in, it's still letting loose all the sa.
Honestly, eting this Luo Liang, he wasn't even particularly in the mood to co.
It's just that, thinking for himself—if he hadn't realized there was a rewind involved, he definitely would've co here right now.
The water ghost at the Cape of the Sea who did the soul summoning said that his boss was Luo Liang.
And when he first discovered livestreams possibly aid at different races, he followed the lead and found that the boss behind those streams was also Luo Liang.
At the very beginning, he'd actually planned to start with this Luo Liang.
Except then Boss Tao's nonsense happened, had to deal with a corpse, and ended up dumping it on Pei Tugou, which got both those Pei guys seriously pissed off.
Wen Yan went over to sort that out, persuading the whole way, and before he knew it, he killed the Gluttonous Quintessence Incarnations himself.
After offing them, he noticed soone was ssing with the narrative, so he went off to Southern Sea County.
Did a soul summoning in Southern Sea County, asked a few things, and circled back to Luo Liang again.
By rights, he would definitely need to co here.
Scorching Sun Departnt not officially getting involved in this is just to avoid alarming the targets, nothing more.
The regular cops coming to arrest folks—still just economic cris; these guys honestly aren't scared of that at all.
Busted a bunch of people, the cooperative ones, confird as just economic cris—well, charge them as they should be charged, case closed.
So of them expect to get locked up a year or two and then get out.
Once soone sets an example, as long as no one deliberately keeps things under wraps, and people are allowed to see lawyers and family, soon the rest of those detained will hear about it.
It's not about there being too little, just that things aren't fair—that's a truth as old as ti.
Why should you get bail pending trial, but I'm still stuck in here? Fine, whatever, I'll just confess to economic cris and be done with it.
This is exactly Luo Liang's plan right now—he's already started admitting to a few things that don't hurt, all of it mostly financial.
Even this is making things hard for Luo Liang, because his company was set up specifically to avoid trouble, so even firing employees involves real severance packages.
Luo Liang's actually having a hard ti finding anything in his own list that might count as economic cri.
In the end, lucky for him, his company really did have so strears and employees involved in online gambling.
So he went with the flow and admitted to so charges.
Today, hearing soone wanted to see him, Luo Liang thought since he'd just confessed, he was finally about to get so kind of benefit.
Didn't expect that when he actually t the person, it turned out to be a total stranger.
Then he noticed that the eting room's caras were all off, the door was shut, the guards who'd brought him in had all stepped out— Luo Liang instantly knew this was not what he'd thought it would be.
Wen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up Luo Liang.
The first mont Wen Yan saw Luo Liang, he knew he'd co to the right place this ti.
"Fate Igniter."
"Using so special thods, burn your own luck, trading it for a brief period of smooth sailing, escaping misfortunes."
All the explanations he'd rehearsed before, he gave up on right away; he decided to just get straight to the point.
"You're about to die."
Luo Liang was taken aback by these words, but a mont later asked,
"Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter. I actually ca here with so questions for you.
But the mont I saw you, I felt like I'd already found what I needed to know most."
"Like, why you were able to take over everything so quickly from another short-lived bastard."
"Then your business took off, growing fast."
"Your strears not only do regular livestreams, but also streams for so creatures no one even knows if they're human."
"Turns out you were trading your own life for all of it."
Luo Liang didn't think much of it at first, figured it was so attempt to bluff him.
But when Wen Yan ntioned creatures nobody even knew were human, his heart sank.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"You paid for troll armies to steer the heat toward , but in the end you tell you don't even know who I am?"
"I really don't know you. Why would I spend money to buy trolls to ss with you? I haven't even spent much on boosting my own strears." Luo Liang hurriedly denied it—he truly didn't recognize Wen Yan.
"Oh, so turns out it wasn't you. Figures, you're already as good as dead—burned up all your luck for a fleeting mont of success. The fact you've been caught now is just the sign you've run out of fuel and your lamp's burned dry."
