Chapter 317

1997.

California, Los Angeles!

Chen Ye opened his eyes again, finding himself in a small room.

The room was tiny, and the surroundings were quiet. He was reclining on a sofa.

Then, Chen Ye stood up from the sofa and walked over to a mirror on the wall to inspect his appearance.

In the mirror, he saw a young Chinese man with well-defined features, who bore a slight resemblance to Chen Ye himself.

This was the temporary identity the system had provided him.

The identity didn't matter; the mission was what was important!

Just as he thought of the mission, the system chimed in:

[Attention: Main mission issued!

This main mission is divided into two parts…]

[Mission 1: Protect the future resistance leader, 'John Connor.'

Hint: Completing this mission guarantees an A-level task rating (fixed)!]

[Mission 2: Hunt and kill Terminator robots.]

[Please choose your mission objective…]

Chen Ye calmly stated, "I choose Mission 2!"

The system immediately responded:

[Selection confirmed!

Main Mission: Hunt and kill Terminator robots.

Task Description: Kill at least two Terminator robots.

Mission Time: 30 days.]

[Hint: The more Terminator robots you kill, the higher your mission rating.]

...

Hearing the system's prompt, Chen Ye smiled slightly.

He then began to recall the plot of **"Terminator 2: Judgment Day."**

The storyline wasn't complicated!

At the end of the 20th century, the global intelligent computer control system, "Skynet," developed by humans, went out of control, leading to a vast number of robots gaining their own consciousness and seeing humans as enemies. Skynet launched nuclear missiles to every corner of the Earth, killing billions.

The world plunged into apocalypse.

The remaining humans were still hunted by Terminator robots!

Later, a heroic leader emerged among the humans: John Connor!

Under his wise leadership, humans united, using their limited resources and weapons to battle the powerful robots, gradually turning the tide.

To regain control, Skynet, from the year 2029, sent a robotic assassin back to 1997, intending to kill the young John Connor before Skynet's rise.

Realizing Skynet's intentions, John Connor also sent a robot back to protect himself and thwart Skynet's plot.

And thus, the conflict began...

Of course!

This was the original plot.

Now, with the involvement of the Reincarnators, the plot had certainly changed somewhat.

For instance, influenced by the Reincarnation System, every additional Reincarnator meant two more robots would be dispatched to hunt John Connor!

"No matter how things change, John Connor remains the key figure!"

With this in mind, Chen Ye left the room.

The mission had already begun.

It wouldn't be long before the T-1000 Terminator robot would definitely target John Connor.

If Chen Ye wanted to capture a T-1000 liquid metal memory robot alive, he only needed to control young John!

...

Outside, the sky was clear.

The afternoon sun bathed everything warmly.

As Chen Ye walked along the streets, he continued to recall the plot.

In the original story, John was a rebellious teenager. With his mother absent, he picked up quite a few bad habits from the streets, engaging in petty theft frequently.

Finding John wouldn't be difficult.

Suddenly, Chen Ye halted.

It was an outdoor basketball court.

A few punks with trendy "pompadour" hairstyles were occupying the court, smoking marijuana.

Chen Ye walked over decisively.

Seeing him approach, a tall, lanky guy snarled, "Get lost, kid. This is our turf. You're not welcome here!"

Chen Ye raised his fist, saying calmly, "You'll be welcoming me in a moment."

Moments later...

Chen Ye grabbed a piece of clothing and casually wiped the blood off his fists.

The blood, of course, wasn't his!

In front of Chen Ye, several battered punks lay sprawled out on the ground, clutching their bruises, groaning in pain, and too afraid to look him in the eye...

This was the result of Chen Ye holding back.

Otherwise, these weaklings wouldn't even need him to lift a finger to easily kill them.

"Now, I have a few questions for you. Are you guys willing to cooperate?"

"We are!"

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, a punk immediately responded obsequiously, "Sir, what do you want to know? As long as we know, we'll tell you honestly!"

"If you'd chosen to cooperate earlier, you wouldn't have had to get beaten up."

Chen Ye smiled faintly and asked, "John Connor—you've heard of him, right?"

The punks exchanged glances, and one dared to ask, "Sir, do you mean that little thief?"

"Yes!" Chen Ye chuckled. "Tell me, where is he?"

"He lives at 116 Sixth Street Bridge, but he probably won't be home at this hour. You'd have a better chance finding him at the arcade!"

"Great, take me to the arcade."

The punks didn't dare refuse and immediately got up to lead the way.

**Arcade Hall.**

It was essentially a roadside arcade.

In the nineties, before computers became widespread, arcades were all the rage globally.

Led by the punks, Chen Ye entered the arcade and quickly found his target.

However...

Chen Ye also noticed a number of adults observing the target.

Seeing adults in an arcade was normal, but these adults were all Chinese, which was a bit unusual.

After all, this was America, a country of mostly white and black people. Chinese usually had their own communities and didn't roam around much; they were rarely seen on the streets.

Moreover, Chen Ye's arrival had also caught the attention of these Chinese men.

It was clear that, like Chen Ye, they were Reincarnators!

Chen Ye smiled faintly and walked towards the Chinese group.

Seeing him approach, the group looked wary.

"Password?" their leader asked.

Chen Ye had no idea about any password and directly revealed his identity:

"I am Shura!"

Upon hearing this, the group was startled.

"Welcome, Lord Shura!" The leader nervously asked, "What brings you here..."

"Relax, I'm just here to capture a T-1000 Terminator. Once I've got it, I'll leave and won't interfere with your plans."
