"Well... being able to escape from the roadblocks and traps they set up in advance means that we have become proficient in using our special physique and have certain action and decision-making abilities, so that we can become a shaky person in the day-to-day time cycle.
They are restless elements who organized the plan." Ritsuko said with some regret:
"However, originally we would not have left so easily. In fact, there are many related training programs in the sanatorium. The original purpose of BigG is to train those of us with special physiques to have various qualities comparable to those of agents.
existence, this way we will have more confidence in dealing with Guixu."
"Hmm... Indeed, if we can just escape smoothly, I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with the terrifying Guixu." Zhang Ke scratched his head and asked, "If that's the case, why are we allowed to leave so easily?
"
"Because it's too late -" Ritsuko's eyes suddenly showed a look of worry, "If we weren't discovered by Guixu so quickly, BigG was originally going to train us in all aspects. However, Higanka arranged for Guixu to
The spy seems to have exposed some flaws and has begun to be suspected by the other party, and the sanatorium has naturally been targeted."
"We no longer have the time and conditions to fully train us. What BigG can do is to speed up as much as possible to make each patient aware of their own specialness in the time loop and be able to proactively respond - after we leave
Later, BigG even set a fire in the sanatorium, forcing some patients who had not yet fully awakened to start using their abilities in order to survive." Ritsuko explained:
"You and I are among the group of people with structural abnormalities in the hippocampus of the brain, and we have relatively good qualities, because after the time loop occurred, we immediately realized that time had gone back - but for most patients
, their memory retention is limited, and sometimes part of it will be erased as time is reset, or special time points must be reached before they can recall what happened in the last reincarnation."
"So that's it. It's no wonder that most of the patients stay in the room so quietly. They don't have complete memories of the reincarnations they have experienced like us." Zhang Ke nodded.
"Yes, people with excellent talents like us, after BigG has been noticed by Guixu and there is not much time to train us, they can only let us go. And the remaining patients have also been fully trained by him.
Before closing the Higanbana Sanatorium, the subjective consciousness of those who were driven to the shelves by him inspired them all to escape in a series of deliberately created 'accidents'." Ritsuko said:
"And these people will be scattered among the people in the future and become an unstable force that spontaneously fights against Guixu."
"So, this bar is...?" Zhang Ke asked.
"Other insiders and collaborators of Bianhua Sanatorium, under the leadership of BigG, reorganized into Shanghai Flower Bar, and through various channels, recalled past patients here. By adding memory-enhancing agents to the drinks, and
Use Troy's hypnosis technology to unconsciously strengthen the mental strength of these people." Ritsuko replied:
"After all, the surveillance in Guixu is so strict. If you open a sanatorium or hospital in another place, you will be targeted immediately, so you can only choose an industry that is beyond your reach to continue BigG's plan."
"So, the reason why you joined here is to become a member of the BigG plan." Zhang Ke finally understood what was going on.
"Well... you should be able to understand. Black Crow originally had a grudge against me and took away my sister Jin Zi. Even for this matter, I will definitely fight Guixu to the end. But I am alone
The strength is too weak, and although Shanghai Flower Bar is doing the same thing as a mantis, there is still a glimmer of hope."
"Zhang Ke, of course you are also a member of the BigG plan, but he will not force you to become our comrade, and I hope you can have a happy and ordinary life - therefore, if you are not willing to take risks,
If you want to do such a thing, just forget everything I said today." Ritsuko looked into Zhang Ke's eyes and said in a very serious tone:
"Even if the world is really controlled by the Guixu organization in the future and the entire city is sealed in a closed time loop, you, with the ability to retain memory, can still use this intelligence advantage to live a good life. Therefore, struggle is not your only
Choosing to live a glorious life with everything under control like a prophet is also a good option."
At this moment, the water on the side finally boiled, and the electric kettle buzzed. Ritsuko turned her head, but her words made Zhang Ke fall into deep thought.
Even though the truth sounded so bizarre, Zhang Ke believed that Ritsuko had no need to deceive him, not to mention that it would be too unwise to deceive people with such an incredible, almost science fiction story.
So before me, there is the cruel future roaring towards me, and there are two dilemma options.
Either follow the control of the black hand hiding in the shadows and let your life only be a continuous cycle from now on; or, become a companion of Ritsuko and the others, shouldering huge dangers at any time, and confront the deepest darkness in the world.
It’s really a... no matter which way you choose, it seems like you’re going to end up in a dead end?
Ritsuko turned off the power of the electric kettle and poured a cup of hot water for Zhang Ke. However, she saw that the other person's face suddenly became solemn at this moment, and she spoke her sincerity in a very serious tone:
"Ritsuko, I will definitely help you if you need it. What's more, if someone wants to manipulate my time and deprive me of the freedom of life and destiny, then I will naturally regret getting involved in a battle with him. Besides,
If I had to watch my friend suffer alone, I would regret it for the rest of my life."
"...Yes, I have forgotten that you are this kind of person. Even in the Bianhua Sanatorium, when I told you that I did not want to run away, but just wanted to eat and wait for death, you did not give up on me."
Listening to Zhang Ke's words, Ritsuko suddenly recalled the past, and she couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of her eyes, but she did not allow the tears to slide down her cheeks.
Because now she has no time to cry:
"I'm glad you are willing to help us, but in terms of your personal safety, in addition to paying attention to yourself, Sister Xiaoli will also help you."
"Isn't she a cadre of your organization? How can she have time to protect me every day?" Zhang Ke asked doubtfully.
Ritsuko burst out laughing: "I see, you have never met Sister Xiaoli outside. Forget it, since she hasn't told you, I'll keep it a secret for now. But don't worry, she will never
Ignoring you."
"What do you mean? What does Xu Xiaoli usually do?" Seeing that Ritsuko didn't answer, Zhang Ke didn't have the nerve to ask more questions. He just watched the other party pour the water from the hot water bottle into the pot.
Then Ritsuko asked with a smile: "Are you hungry? Just tell me what you want to eat, and I can go to the cafeteria to get the food for you. Do you remember the food at Higanbana Sanatorium? Even though it is underground, the food delivery is pretty good.
Conveniently, the chef's skills have not changed much - after all, this is an ordinary bar in an underground mall plaza. It was bought by BigG half a year ago and is used as a backup transfer base. It usually receives ordinary customers to hide the public.
