Everyone looked at the dead bird on the ground and fell into silence.
"This is..." Baili Pangpang stared at this scene and stayed where he was.
Lin Qiye and An Qingyu quickly raised their heads to look at the sky. Four or five birds were entangled in the distant sky, chirping shrilly and attacking each other. Broken feathers soaked in blood continued to fall from the sky, flying into the distance with the wind...
One after another, the birds were pecked and fell, and in the end, only one blood-stained bird was left alive in the sky.
It chirped sharply in the air, flapped its wings unsteadily, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I seem to know how these insects died..." Cao Yuan murmured to himself.
"Are they killing each other?" Lin Qiye frowned and looked at the corpses of insects and ants in the pit, his eyes full of confusion, "Why?"
An Qingyu was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know."
"By the way." At this moment, Shen Qingzhu seemed to have thought of something, "You just said that time here is a closed loop. When it comes to the end, all the people and things here will be reset and return to
The initial state...
What about us?
Will we also be back where we started?”
Hearing this question, An Qingyu thought about it seriously and said with a solemn expression, "If the situation here is really as I speculated, it is a time closed loop that constantly 'ends' and 'restarts', then we are probably
You can't go back to the starting point of this period of time.
Just like an adventure game, when you save a level, the system will only record and retain the state of the save at that moment, and we are outsiders who entered later. The save here does not have our information. Once the time here passes,
At the end, when it starts again...
We will be like dust on a closed loop, directly obliterated by time."
Baili Fatty's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Erase by time? Is it so serious?"
"The power of the law of time is simply not something we can contend with." An Qingyu said seriously, "Our only way out is to find a way out of here before the closed loop ends."
"But we don't even know when it starts or when it ends."
"No, we already know the start time." Lin Qiye picked up the purchase order, "The last purchase time of the canteen was the evening before yesterday, which means that the starting point of the closed loop should be yesterday, the same time we entered this fishing village
Coincidence...perhaps, this is also the reason why we were able to enter here by mistake."
"But the time when the closed loop will end is unknown. It may be tomorrow, it may be this afternoon, or it may be... the next second."
"In other words, while we are talking here, the closed loop may come to an end and wipe us out directly?" Baili Pangpang couldn't help complaining, "Isn't this too exciting?!"
"Theoretically, this is true, but I think it shouldn't be so fast." An Qingyu speculated, "As I just said, I don't think this closed loop appears here for no reason. Its existence must be accompanied by some kind of...
The reason has not yet been discovered, and until this 'cause' does not trigger a 'consequence', the closed loop will not end casually."
An Qingyu's words were so profound that except for Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu, most of the others were confused, but they were already aware of the urgency of time.
"There is one more question." Shen Qingzhu spoke slowly, "If this closed loop started yesterday, then what happened to the [Mask] team that entered this fishing village several days earlier than us...?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Lin Qiye was stunned in place. A certain idea came to his mind, but he suppressed it forcefully.
An Qingyu was silent for a moment, but said truthfully: "The [Mask] team entered the fishing village ten days ago. They should have entered the last or previous closed time loop here. Like us, they are outsiders and are not here.
Among the queues that were restarted, since we can't see them in this closed loop, it means...
They may have been obliterated."
"Impossible!" Baili Pangpang was the first to jump out and object, "That's [Mask]! How could it be wiped out so easily?!"
"I agree." Cao Yuan said immediately, "Just because they didn't appear here doesn't mean they must have been wiped out. What if they also found a way to leave before the closed loop ended?"
"If they managed to escape, why didn't we see them outside?" An Qingyu asked.
Cao Yuan was speechless.
"Maybe they were sent to another time just like us at that time? Maybe they were sent to other places and couldn't come back in time?" Baili Pangpang's speech gradually increased, as if he was a little anxious.
"This is all your guess. Although it is possible, the probability is too slim."
"Then the closed loop and erasure you mentioned are just speculations, aren't they?"
"This is a reasonable guess based on existing clues."
"No matter what! I don't believe that the [Mask] team will be wiped out in a place like this!"
"[Persona] is also a human being, and will bleed and die. You cannot deny the facts based on your own subjective impressions."
"Bullshit facts!"
The voices of An Qingyu and Baili Pangpang were getting louder and faster, and Baili Pangpang's face was red, as if they were angry. An Qingyu's brows were getting tighter and tighter.
No intention of giving in at all.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Lin Qiye spoke suddenly and suppressed the voices of both of them.
Lin Qiye's gaze swept over the two of them, with majesty in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Why are you arguing? Is this the time for you to argue? No matter whether the [Mask] team is dead or alive, our primary goal is
Gotta find a way out of here!
If we can’t leave before the closed loop ends, we all have to explain here!”
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Lin Qiye took a deep breath and continued: "If it is true as Qingyu said, the time loop here is caused by someone or a certain item, then it will inevitably cause some supernatural abnormalities, or will it cause some supernatural abnormalities?
Spread out the search according to last night's grouping, and if you find any clues, notify others immediately."
"Disband!"
After Lin Qiye finished speaking, Baili Pangpang secretly glanced at An Qingyu, as if he wanted to step forward and say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and walked towards the other side of the fishing village alone.
"Qiye..." An Qingyu took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand, frowned, and seemed a little tired, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to confront Pangpang just now, I..."
"It's okay, I know you are just telling the truth." Lin Qiye patted his shoulder and comforted, "Pangpang looks carefree on the surface, but his thoughts are actually very delicate. In his heart, [Mask] is more than just a special team.
It's that simple...he just wants them to be safe."
"No, that's not what I meant." An Qingyu put on his glasses again, looked at Lin Qiye with his bloodshot eyes, and said seriously, "I couldn't control my emotions... This is very wrong."
