"Oh, welcome home..."
Wu Ming's expression suddenly became a little weird, mixed with a bit of suffocation and anger because he understood that he had come back to the original point, incomprehensible surprise at the current situation, and helpless rage. But the strange thing is that his expression is so complicated. It looks like he has been sent back to his hometown countless times in two games full of malicious intentions from the creators: Digging for Ascension and King of Jump. Now his blood pressure bar is full and may explode at any time. However, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly and he even hummed a song abnormally: "Go home, return to the original beauty~"
Lin Jiaojiao didn't know whether she was frightened or disgusted by Wu Ming's tone-deaf voice. She shivered and had goosebumps all over her body: "Hey! Brother Wu Ming, don't scare me!"
Alex checked the remaining rune knife on the inside of the coat, and his face became a little ugly: "The mental resonance suddenly disappeared. It disappeared just a few seconds ago, and now I can no longer sense the settings that were set along the way. The road sign has been placed, but the number of rune knives has not changed, and the part consumed as a road sign has not been replenished..."
Just these words from Alex were enough to make the four people present think of many things.
As for why there are four people, it’s because although Lin Jiaojiao is just an ordinary person, she has read a lot of comics, novels, and movies! These works created by human imagination not only strengthened her ability to accept, but also enabled her to use her imagination to understand the current situation when encountering extraordinary events.
The rune knives that had been consumed as road signs did not return to Alex's coat. They were aware of this problem and realized that the fact that the knives had been consumed in a certain amount meant that this weird and inexplicable cycle was at least It does not have the ability to reset several people's belongings and memories.
And those rune knives will suddenly disappear under Alex's induction, which can prove that a mechanism similar to 'reset' was indeed triggered just now...
"At least now I can be sure that it is not a loop on the timeline." Zhao Sida called up the memories and videos in the database. The projected picture was basically a thick white fog like the current environment. There was no trace of anything from the beginning to the end of the video. What's the problem? "No problem can be found from the system video. The various data collected along the way also show that we are not affected by extraordinary power, causing subjective sense of time to be confused."
The rune knife that had been consumed as a road sign did not return to Alex's coat. If it was really connected from end to end like a Möbius strip to form a closed loop in space and time, they didn't know. If you are unknowingly trapped in a period of time and space that keeps repeating the cycle, maintaining the current memory and state and experiencing repeated history in a closed time loop, then the rune knife caught in Alex's coat will not be destroyed. consumption.
But if it is a rewind time loop that constantly clears memory, and traps them in a certain time period in the past by dragging the progress bar to rewind, then it will at least have some kind of special engine mechanism, memory clearing and Various effects that reset the environment on the timeline. In this case, let alone the problem of consumption of the rune knife, Wu Ming felt that even whether he could remember this memory was a problem.
I'm afraid it would take fifteen thousand four hundred and ninety-eight times to feel the strong sense of déjà vu and dissonance.
Wu Ming, who suddenly had this idea in his head, subconsciously glanced at Zhao Sida, who was sitting quietly next to him, and suddenly said: "Old Zhao, if we are here to have our memories cleared for more than 10,000 times, will you? Are you going to create bugs in yourself because the cycle lasts too long?"
"Brother, even though it's August now, we are indeed repeating the cycle." Lin Jiaojiao unexpectedly answered, perhaps because they were talking about a familiar topic, "But there shouldn't be a group leader here, so I don't think it's... Let’s have an endless August…”
Wu Ming nodded and thought carefully: "How about you take over the position of team leader, and we will help you with your summer homework. You can think of a way to solve our cyclical state?"
Lin Jiaojiao: "It would be great if I really had the ability to unconsciously make my wishes come true..."
The cycle on the time level was quickly eliminated, which was actually expected by several people.
After all, operations and interference on the timeline level can only be set foot in and touched by very top bosses in the extraordinary field. Even newcomers like Wu Ming, who have just stepped into the extraordinary realm, and ordinary people like Lin Jiaojiao can understand this - after all, the characters in various works who can play with time are not only very high-profile, but as the villains behind the scenes, It is said to be an excellent attribute, so naturally it is not a skill that just any miscellaneous fish can get involved in.
"Perhaps this is not a time loop... but a rather alternative, maybe even an artificial environment reset barrier?" Zhao Sida put forward a new conjecture at this time, which is almost whimsical compared to Wu Ming's 'time loop' The guess put forward by the doll girl has relevant evidence to support it and is more logically tenable. "Although the shadow world is adjacent to the real world, except for the occasional brief overlap between the two worlds, the shadow world has always been It has always been in a very stable state. But this time the situation is a little different. These are the data I collected through my own detection method after suddenly entering the shadow world. From the shallow space constants of the shadow world, the space between the two worlds coordinate distance, to the extraordinary concentration of the shallow layer of the shadow world, the degree of materiality, and the degree of order in the real world. Then I compared these collected values with the data records of the shadow world in the past, and established a change trend calculation model."
As she spoke, Zhao Sida's eyes flashed, and various curve graphs, function graphs, and numerical change comparison graphs appeared in front of everyone one after another.
Wu Ming looked at the violently fluctuating numerical change graphs and function graphs projected by Zhao Sida with a serious look on his face. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally they knitted together tightly.
Lin Jiaojiao saw Wu Ming's increasingly serious and formidable expression, and her heart, which had been relieved because of the big boss's protection, became suspicious again: "Brother...can you see what's going on?"
In the girl's mind, Wu Ming, who had saved her three times, always saving her from fire and water in critical moments, was a reliable and expert person. If even an expert showed such an expression, it must mean something was wrong. It has become very serious.
"Old Zhao, please explain what it means in layman's terms. I can't understand the numerical diagram." Wu Ming looked at Zhao Sida with a solemn face and said confidently.
Now this image of a superior person has collapsed into pieces.
"Originally, various values in this area were very stable. Comparing the information and data collected in the past few times, although there will be some fluctuations, there are no conditions for violent fluctuations like today's partial area collapse to reality, and the impact Until now, the world is still attracted by some external force...or pushed to collapse into the real world. I can't think of any possibility other than man-made things."
Alex answered: "You mean, in order to hinder us... no, or anyone who might come in the way, those people have created such a... space maze on the periphery. As long as you go the wrong way, You will be constantly transported back to the starting point and start over again...the maze."
Zhao Sida nodded: "Yes, I understand correctly."
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and was speechless: "It would be better to kill the troublemaker with a lightning strike than to do so many tricks..."
boom!
A bolt from the blue, like an orbital airdrop, hit Wu Ming's deployed shield with great force!
