Sure enough, danger can strike at any time, and things like branches are always prepared. However, even as cautious as he was, there was a huge omission.
The most dangerous thing for him was always flying. So his latest branch was opened before boarding the plane from Wutong City.
After getting off the plane, the fresh air of distant Xizhou, the exotic customs of the Pineapple Sea, the resort-like seaside town, and the quiet and deserted summer gave him a vacation-like feeling.
So much so that twenty-four hours passed before he knew it, and he forgot to open a new branch in time! So he was in danger with no way out.
"Quick! There's an elevator. Use the elevator to see if you can get to the first floor!"
The stairs are beyond hope. According to his idea, walking up from the thirteenth floor will return to the second floor, so walking down from the second floor will obviously return to the thirteenth floor.
They couldn't get to the fourteenth floor anyway, and there was no way they could get back to the first floor via the stairs. In this way, everyone is locked here.
Now he no longer had the system Suzaku had written for her, but the feeling of anomaly was still there. When he stepped out of the elevator for the first time in this building, he clearly felt something unusual.
His own powers told him: they were in a cycle.
Look at this wall, look at this floor, look at this red door, everything is exactly the same as in reality, and it accurately follows the physical rules of reality. They are not hallucinations.
They are reality, but some mysterious force distorts part of the real world into an endless loop, thus isolating it from other parts of reality.
This is definitely a BUG. But without seeing the user of the superpower, he cannot locate the defect and cannot fundamentally repair it. He can only "patch" it.
But they are in this cycle and become part of the problem. If you try to "patch", there is a high probability that you will be completely erased along with the "patch".
"Elevator, I hope the elevator can still reach the first floor! As long as it can reach the first floor, you can get out!"
This cycle is from the thirteenth floor to the second floor. In other words, the first or fourteenth floor is the key to breaking out of the cycle, so it is deliberately hidden.
The fourteenth floor is inaccessible. But Meng Fei remembered that he had seen all the buttons from B1 to 14 on the elevator button panel, except 13.
If I could return to the first floor, or B1, I might be able to break out of the loop.
The three of them returned to the elevator together, and Meng Fei pressed the button for the first floor.
The elevator doors closed and began to creak. Meng Fei felt his body light up, and the elevator was indeed going down.
"Ding dong——"
The elevator door opened and the three of them ran out together. Unfortunately, this is not the first floor. They returned to the thirteenth floor where they originally arrived.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple. The elevator is also in circulation."
"Loop? What the hell loop?"
Mr. An is still confused.
Meng Fei pointed to the top of his head: "If you keep going up, the highest level is the thirteenth floor. Then if you keep going up, you will return to the second level."
Then he pointed down again: "It's the same going down. You can only reach the second floor at the lowest. If you continue to go down, you will reach the thirteenth floor. A perfect cycle, impeccable."
"This...how is this possible?"
"You can try."
"Just try it!"
Meng Fei sat on the stairs, listening to Mr. An's footsteps getting farther and farther from the corridor. The young master ran downstairs.
Xiao Han looked down from the handrail of the stairs. Layers of handrails painted bronze formed a perfect infinite spiral fold line, the center point disappearing within the limits of her vision.
"You said this place is circular, so if Mr. An goes down, he will come down from us at the end? Do you want us to go up and take a look?"
"No need. The most important thing for us now is to save our energy."
"Save energy?"
"Well, just let one person explore. We will soon run out of water and food. The key depends on how long we can last here and whether we can hold on until rescue arrives."
In fact, when Meng Fei said this, he felt a little drummed in his heart, and even shuddered a little.
if this is
A cycle formed by twisting and stripping off parts of the real world. So even if the outside world wants to rescue him, how can it reach it?
He even suspected that after this part was stripped from reality, they disappeared from reality permanently. People outside may not know they were once part of reality.
But humans are not the only ones out there who will rescue them.
There are also the Goddess of Qingmang, the Goddess of Destruction, and hidden bosses like Lao Li, An Tu, and Ai Jue, and they even have the backing of the country. They will always find a way, right?
At this moment, following a series of footsteps from above, the stunned Mr. An appeared.
Seeing Meng Fei and Xiao Han sitting on the stairs below, he opened his mouth wide and his fat face began to twist.
"I don't believe him anymore!"
Mr. An cursed angrily, and then continued down, without saying hello to them, and continued running wildly all the way.
He firmly believed that there could not be infinitely high buildings, infinitely deep pits, or infinitely repetitive human beings in this world.
The man and woman sitting on the corridor were just hallucinations in his memory. If it's an illusion, just pretend they don't exist.
"Have you ever seen Accidental Space?"
"What is "Unexpected Space"?"
Xiao Han was a little confused, obviously he hadn't heard of it.
"A Spanish film."
"What is Spain?"
She didn't understand even more.
"Well, it's a movie anyway."
Meng Fei stopped quickly. Movies that appeared in his previous life are generally available in this world, but the names are not necessarily the same. It is not surprising that Xiao Han has not heard of them.
But when he thought about the movie, he felt extremely frightened.
The three characters in the movie are also trapped in the same circular building. No matter you go up or down, you will always cycle through the same floors.
One of the characters had an accident, and the other two could neither escape nor find rescue, so they could only watch this person die.
And then they were stuck here, alive and well, for thirty years. One of the two male protagonists died of old age, while the other grew from a young man to a middle-aged man.
After the old man died, the young man who became a middle-aged man finally found a way out, entered the elevator, and came out of another scene he had never seen before.
He met two people in the new corridor and caused an accident. One of them dies, but the other young man survives and is trapped in a new cycle with him.
Until thirty years later, he died of old age. Young people become middle-aged people to take over, and the cycle continues...
Damn it, there are exactly three of them here. This made Meng Fei feel a little numb. So who is going to die? Who is going to enter the next cycle?
Thirty years? Stay in this place where you can't even see the sun for thirty years, waiting to die of old age?
Dong dong dong dong...
An Sheng ran down again. He wiped the sweat from his face, bent down and stared closely into the eyes of Xiao Han sitting on the stairs, and even stretched out his hand obscenely to touch her.
Snapped!
Xiao Han slapped his hands away with a quick and sharp slap.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's alive! It's alive! It's alive!"
An Sheng's pupils were dilated and he muttered repeated words as if in a daze. He then looked at Meng Fei sitting below and hesitated for a long time.
"They're all alive, there's no use going down. Then I'll go up! Up!"
He started to turn around and run uphill.
Meng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Thirty years, just let An Sheng die, but not Xiao Han.
