"how come……"
Looking at the still dark tunnel in front of him, the dim and bright lights hanging on the old and damp dungeon walls, and Ye Suling in front of him who also looked a little confused, Zhang Ke thought that he was just trapped in another
In a recurring nightmare.
But soon he realized that the long dream that revived some past memories had ended before, and everything in front of him now was so real, but unbelievable.
...Xu Xiaoli, Higanhua Sanatorium, and Chitose Ritsuko, did these things all really happen to me? Did I have the ability to reincarnate so early?
But for Zhang Ke, what is even more surprising to him now is that he has returned to the Chunshen underground ruins.
"How come we...are back to this place again?" Zhang Ke blurted out, "Time has reincarnated again? But why does it start from this time? There has never been a reincarnation death battle."
"What's wrong?" Ye Suling asked with a puzzled look, "Since just now, you have suddenly seemed to be stunned. You have been looking at the void without speaking or answering, which scared me.
Jump."
"Uh--didn't you notice? Time has reincarnated again. Just now..." At this point, Zhang Ke suddenly realized that under normal circumstances, Ye Suling should have no clear memory of reincarnation, only a little bit.
déjà vu.
Judging from her current reaction, it was obvious that she knew nothing about what had just happened and felt that everything was still going on smoothly, so she found it difficult to understand her sudden confusion.
"Do you remember? We had successfully walked out of this ruins before, and we also saw the sun rising. We thought the time cycle was over, and it was already February 16 outside. But we didn't realize it until we reached the bus terminal.
From the computer screen in the vehicle dispatch room, I saw the fact that the time was still February 15."
Zhang Ke hurriedly summarized the final situation of the last reincarnation, trying to arouse Ye Suling's slightest sense of déjà vu:
"And what's even more strange is that there is no one in the station, on the road or even in the farmers' homes, so after that, we decided to go further to see what happened - and the result was...
We didn't run very far when we heard extremely harsh sirens from all directions, which could only destroy our balance and eventually make us lose consciousness... Do you still have the slightest impression of these things?"
"Uh... Well... From what you said just now, it seems that you have indeed experienced something similar... No, I don't seem to have much memory anymore... I don't remember it very clearly. It feels like a dream that is about to dissipate.
Listening to what you said, the impression in my mind is specious, and I don’t know how much it was influenced by you..."
Ye Suling's tone sounded very uncertain. It seemed that although she didn't want to doubt Zhang Ke, it was really hard for her to say that such a thing had indeed happened.
This is also normal. After all, for Ye Suling, in order to remember something that happened in the past reincarnation, he must go through several reincarnations to deepen the impression and retain some sense of déjà vu in the future.
The special situation in the last reincarnation only happened once in total, so from Ye Suling's perspective, it was really a dream that was about to dissipate. Even with Zhang Ke's narration, it was difficult to feel it too real.
"By the way, there is one thing that can prove that what I just said is not my imagination." Zhang Ke had an idea and suddenly said, "Probably in a short time, this underground ruins will start to shake. At that time, we thought
We need to escape to the ground as soon as possible, but you said there is a secret space on the wall, and you only need to press it to lower the secret passage stairs that lead directly to the ground."
"——There is indeed such a thing as a hidden compartment! How could it be possible? Only the members of the archaeological excavation team at the Chunshen ruins knew about this matter. Even because they were not sure of its specific structure, it had not been published in a journal article. How did you do it?
I know!" Ye Suling said in surprise.
"Yes, this proves that except for the reason [you told me in the last reincarnation], there is no other reasonable reason. Yuan Qiushi, who threw me here, can never do it again.
Can you tell me how to climb up? I have no way to get to know the other members of your archaeological team." Zhang Ke asked rhetorically.
"It seems... what you said is true, and time reincarnation does exist. This time I really have to believe it." Ye Suling was silent for a moment before saying, "But you said that we successfully walked out of the ruins and saw the sun.
, only to find that there was no one at all along the way, what’s going on?”
"I don't know either. Until we lost consciousness in our last reincarnation, we couldn't find any clues. Instead, we fainted - but before I closed my eyes completely, I saw a pair of people wearing silver uniforms.
Humans? Or at least humanoid beings, approached us at that time." Zhang Ke replied.
"You don't even know if the other person is a human?" Ye Suling asked in surprise, "Didn't any part of the body be exposed, including the face, hands and feet?"
"Yes, my whole body was covered in semi-mechanized uniforms, wrapped tightly, and even my head was hidden in a device similar to the shape of a spacesuit helmet. In addition, I was almost mentally exhausted at that time, so I really couldn't
You can see clearly whether the other person has a human face."
"It's not necessarily... aliens, is it?" Ye Suling forced a smile and said, "It can't be so sci-fi, right?"
"Who knows... being able to make time loop continuously, play out the same fate repeatedly, and even accurately control the restart of everything, is this not something humans can do at this stage, right?" Zhang Ke said with a wry smile:
"I met a time tracer before and asked him if he knew the reason for time reincarnation. He told me that there was a hypothesis that the earth, or at least this city, was used as an experimental site by aliens."
"...Asking me to believe that aliens did all this is just like asking me to believe in the secret records of the blue sky and the gods of the new era. It is simply an explanation like a deus ex machina." Ye Suling shook her head and said, "Then
It is really beyond the scope of what I know and can accept. Without more definite evidence, I don’t want to believe in such supernatural reasons.”
"I have similar thoughts to you." Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Actually, this is not the first time I have seen those humanoid individuals in silver uniforms - at least a dozen reincarnations ago, your police station building was still there
