"what happened?"
After coming out of the alley, Ma Huaiping quickly frowned and asked me.
"Look at what's happening on the street."
I raised my hand and said, "Do you feel something familiar?"
"You mean, this is an illusion?"
Ma Huaiping frowned and looked at me, obviously he still didn't understand what I meant.
"Not an illusion."
I shook my head and said solemnly: "Everything here is repeating itself, including the people living here. They keep repeating what happened yesterday."
"You...are you talking about Lao Yantou and the others? We just met yesterday, but you don't recognize us today?"
Ma Huaiping looked at me in confusion.
I could feel that he was also trying to understand what I meant, but obviously still couldn't get the point.
"It's not a matter of recognition or recognition. What I mean is that they may have died completely one day, and then they came back to life the next day. It's the same every day, repeating yesterday's story and doing what they did. What you did yesterday is an endless cycle, do you understand?"
While gesticulating, I tried my best to explain it in a language he could understand.
"Are you saying that they are all living in yesterday's time, or that they are all living in the day they die?"
Ma Huaiping seemed to finally understand.
"right."
I nodded and said: "And this day has been repeated."
"Isn't this...impossible?"
Wang Shaoyang obviously understood it, but he seemed a little hard to accept it.
"If you look carefully, you can find it."
I said, pointing to the people on the street.
"What everyone was doing yesterday, he is still doing today, and he is wearing the same clothes and walking in the same position."
As I said that, I pointed to the fat man in the noodle shop on the left, who was standing by the pot slicing noodles. "He will probably light a cigarette later, and then a woman will come to eat noodles. He forgot to pinch his fingers." The extinguished cigarette was pinned to his ear.”
"What did you see last night? Why didn't I see it?"
Ma Huaiping looked at me somewhat differently.
"details make a difference."
I pointed to my eyes as I said, "When I look at something, I often don't look at the entire surface, but at a point in the picture. This way I can more accurately capture the details that are not noticed by others. Feng Shui calls this way of looking at things from the inside out, which means observing small things makes it easier to devote your attention to them and see the essence of things through their appearances.”
In fact, this is also a way to concentrate people's mental power. That is, don't see a big picture all at once. Then everything you see is just a rough outline. But when you focus on a point, you will see that point. Able to see clearly.
Ma Huaiping and Wang Shaoyang obviously had never thought about this kind of thing, so after I finished speaking, they were both a little confused.
"The woman was wearing a red sweater. She was about thirty years old, and her hair was pulled up."
I changed the topic directly to prevent them from falling into this kind of thinking dead end and ignoring the matter in front of them.
"are you sure?"
Ma Huaiping frowned and looked at me and asked.
"certainly."
I nodded.
At this time, the fat man who was cutting noodles had already lit a cigarette and stood at the door of the noodle shop and started smoking.
Ma Huaiping and I each took out a cigarette and lit it.
Before I took a few puffs, a woman wearing a red sweater came to the noodle shop and asked for a bowl of noodles.
The fat man put the lit cigarette directly on his ear, and then went over to cut noodles.
Of course he was burned by the burning cigarette butt. Judging from the shape of his mouth, he must have cursed in a low voice, but we were relatively far away and didn't hear what he cursed?
"This is really an endless loop. What's going on?"
Ma Huaiping puffed out his cigarette and looked back at me.
"If I'm not mistaken, the situation that has been set up here should be the life and death situation that ranks third among the nine most dangerous feng shui situations in the world. The yin and yang are reversed, and life and death are two-dimensional. The person in the situation dies during the day, and the person in the situation dies during the day. He is reborn at night, and so on, over and over again, never to be reincarnated again.”
I bit the butt of the cigarette in my mouth and narrowed my eyes.
"Doesn't that mean that we are also trapped in this endless cycle?"
When Wang Shaoyang heard this, his face turned pale.
"not yet."
I shook my head and said: "So from now on, you must be vigilant and don't repeat what happened yesterday. Otherwise, you will easily fall into this endless cycle, which is equivalent to entering the game."
"You mean, as long as you don't repeat what happened yesterday, you won't get involved, right?"
Ma Huaiping asked quickly.
"of course not."
I shook my head and frowned: "This is a life-and-death situation. It ranks third among the nine most dangerous situations in Feng Shui. How can it be that simple? Even if we don't repeat what happened yesterday, once we stay in this situation for a long time, You will still fall into that kind of death cycle, just like these people in this town, dying during the day and coming back to life at night, and so on."
As I said this, I glanced at Wang Shaoyang and said meaningfully: "We really don't have much time."
"Then Beichuan is also trapped in this endless cycle?"
When Ma Huaiping heard this, he asked quickly.
"That would be it if he jumped into the raging river again tonight."
I pondered for a moment and said.
However, this possibility is unlikely, because Wang Beichuan followed us last night. If he had already fallen into this kind of endless loop like the people in the town, he would definitely not come to follow us. This is equivalent to breaking the An endless loop of deadlock.
After all, we just got here yesterday.
"Then go wait by the river."
Ma Huaiping thought for a while and said.
"Can."
I nodded and said, "But let's eat something first. I'm a little hungry."
As I said that, I pointed to the noodle shop not far away.
"You... dare to eat in this situation?"
Ma Huaiping opened his eyes and looked at me in disbelief.
"They are just stuck in an endless loop. Now they are alive and still need to eat, so this food must be fine."
I gave him a reassuring look.
After arriving at the noodle shop, they each ate two bowls of noodles and looked hungrier than me.
By the time we arrived at the riverside, it was already late at night.
The wind suddenly picked up on the river, causing the willow branches on the bank to sway from side to side, which was quite unique.
It's just a little cold.
I lit a cigarette, wrapped my clothes around me, and sat down by the river.
Time passed by minute by second, and it soon came to the time when Wang Beichuan jumped into the river last night, but he still didn't see his figure. I guess Wang Beichuan was not trapped in that kind of endless loop.
Just when we were about to go back, a group of people suddenly came upstream from the river bank. It was so dark that there must be a lot of them.
And in the distance, I heard uniform footsteps.
At this time, Ma Huaiping and I both changed our minds. Looking at this, I am afraid we have finally encountered those so-called underworld soldiers, right?
