Chapter 137 - Endless Seas 12 (2/2)
50,000 gold coins were equivalent to 500 yuan.
“This is the most expensive toilet I’ve ever heard of! Is the toilet made from gold?”
The girl was the one who gave them the Temporary Toilet card this morning. She had two of the cards in her hand and started a business at this time. The surrounding challengers cursed, “f.u.c.k, a toilet is so expensive. Isn’t this stealing money?”
”There is no way. I can’t hold it in my pants. The conditions at sea are limited. The toilet is better than nothing…”
”I can’t hold it. I’ll go!”
Gradually, some of the challengers started to go to the toilet with strange expressions. There was a long line at the girl’s temporary toilet and she was very happy to collect money.
Xiao Lou helplessly said, “There are so many talents.”
It was sad thinking about it. Everyone was forced to come to this in this wonderful world.
The main city had beautiful accommodation, delicious food and low prices. Challengers could easily own a house, car or even buy a villa with some gold coins. They just couldn’t bring anything into the secret room, only cards. It was really embarra.s.sing when encountering a situation of ‘no place to urinate.’
They were drifting at sea for seven days and the human body had physiological needs. If this girl didn’t have the toilet card, they might be even more embarra.s.sed. Thus, it was right that she receive money for allowing the use of the toilet, even if it was expensive.
It seemed that if they had to pa.s.s the secret rooms in the future, they would have to collect cards for daily necessities. The lifestyle cards in the hands of Xiao Lou’s team were too few.

Compared to collective diarrhea on the first day and the heavy storm on the second day, the third day seemed a bit calm. It was presumably to give the challengers a bit of cus.h.i.+on. There were no accidents on this day.
The only thing uncomfortable was the direct sunlight at sea. Even if everyone was inspired by Xiao Lou’s actions and made a variety of shade, the sunlight was too strong. Everyone’s skin became red, swollen and tingling. Some girls with sensitive skin started to peel and blister wildly. The entire challenger teams were lying in the sun and from time to time, people would curse. Xiao Lou’s team was better. No one lost any skin.
In the evening, everyone stopped the boat again and settled down for dinner. Today’s sunset was very beautiful but everyone was sunburned and wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. They all lay on the s.h.i.+p and closed their eyes.
Yu Hanjiang watched the sky and sunset and thought of many things. Lu Jiuchuan disappeared last night and never showed up again. It was unknown where he had gone. Seeing Lu Jiuchuan in this world, Yu Hanjiang’s long-standing belief received a very strong shock. It was because he was clear that Lu Jiuchuan was cremated in reality. How could Lu Jiuchuan go back in such circ.u.mstances?
Go back and turn into a cloud of ashes? How much credibility did the keeper’s words have and should they keep holding onto the hope of going back? Yu Hanjiang’s heart was shaken for the first time.
Xiao Lou sensed his thoughts and whispered in his mind, “Group Leader Yu, have you heard of rebirth?”
Yu Hanjiang wondered, “What do you mean?”
Group Leader Yu obviously didn’t read online texts.
Xiao Lou explained with a smile. “Popular online novels have many things about rebirth. The protagonist unexpectedly died and was reborn in the past, changing history. Although these novels are all fantasies, the world we are in can’t be explained scientifically. Maybe there is the miracle of ‘rebirth.’ Even if your brother became ashes in reality, this doesn’t mean there is no hope of survival. If we can go back to the past, won’t he survive?”
Yu Hanjiang’s eyes lit up. His fingers clenched into a fist as he looked back at Xiao Lou with disbelief. “You mean, the keeper sending us back is like letting us be reborn in the past?”
Xiao Lou nodded. “In reality, we should all be dead. The keeper can’t let us return as corpses. Thus, my guess is that the keepers will control the flow of time, letting us go back in time to change history.”
Yu Hanjiang, “………”
Professor Xiao was truly worthy of his high IQ. He saw through the core rules of the secret room world.
Time. The time flow rate in each secret room wasn’t the same. Sometimes, after spending three days in the Hearts room and 30 minutes in the Clubs room, they could still meet in the Spades secret room. Obviously, the keepers had the ability to regulate time.
Moreover, the existence of the free people proved that the keepers could send everyone back to the past. For example, Xie Xinghe from 3 of Hearts, Maple Forest High School was now a policeman but they had gone back to Xie Xinghe’s childhood. Li MO of 4 of Hearts was now the largest real estate businessman but they returned to the train years ago, experiencing the plot of Li Zhemin planning to kill Li Zhemin, his sc.u.m father.
Going back in time was easy for the keeper.
Xiao Lou’s speculation was reasonable. Only a return to the past could avoid accidents.
Lu Jiuchuan had died. Yu Hanjiang saw his body being cremated and this was an unalterable fact. However, what about three years ago? At that time, Lu Jiuchuan was still a brilliant soldier, the Navy’s commando leader, Major Lu!
If time went back to three years ago, wouldn’t Lu Jiuchuan be born again? He would know in advance that an accident would occur in the mission and could naturally find a way to avoid the danger.
Yu Hanjiang became even more excited. Xiao Lou’s words thoroughly solved the mystery in his heart! The words of the keeper could be believed. All the dead would have a chance to be born again after clearing the world!
Reborn to the past before the accident happened.
Yu Hanjiang’s ecstasy in his heart was simply impossible to describe. He held Xiao Lou’s hand and his deep eyes regained the light of faith. “Professor Xiao, you are right. We can go back to the past and change history, so that the dead people can be reborn and my brother might also survive!”
Since meeting his brother, he had been very confused. He hadn’t known how people who had become ashes could return. Now Professor Xiao had explained and the fogs cleared up, his heart suddenly became bright. If they could really go back in time and everyone could live in reality…
He must be transferred to the Jiangzhou Police Department earlier so he could get to know Xiao Lou earlier.
