In Jincheng Binjiang Garden Community, there is a small supermarket downstairs.
A middle-aged man wearing a white vest, big shorts, flip-flops, and holding a cattail leaf fan was sitting at the door of the shop, fighting with some old men about landlords.
The faces of those old men were all covered with notes, as if they had mops on their heads...
"I said, Xiao Wang, you're not a cheater, are you? Why do you win every game? I'm almost losing all the money."
I saw the middle-aged man grinning:
"In poker, winning and losing are normal, but the more years you play, the more times you win..."
"Four twos!"
The three old men's faces darkened.
"I can't afford it!"
Xiao Wang grinned and was about to play all the cards in one go, but at this moment, a young man in his early twenties walked out of the supermarket.
"Dad, my mother needs to call you for something..."
"Go, go, go! I haven't finished playing my cards yet!"
"It's an emergency..."
Xiao Wang frowned, put the cards on the table, and then smiled:
"Brothers, please take care of me. If you are a big boy, come and fight for me. Don't lose my luck..."
As he spoke, he stood up and went back to the house, while the young man sat down and said, "Where...have you gone?"
Old man: "I just made four twos, you can't afford it, now it's time for me to make it~"
"Ah ah ah, good..."
As soon as Xiao Wang returned to the room upstairs, his expression completely darkened, because there were a dozen men in masks and suits standing in the room, all with playing card logos on their masks.
"What's up?"
"Lord Xiao Wang, something happened to Spade Two and the others. All the tracking signals on their bodies were lost, and Nanke Forest was blocked. According to reliable sources, the students who were conducting the demon hunting test inside were also missing..."
"The demon-suppressing troops of the Demon-Suppressing Department's Defense Force are searching Nanke Forest. Second Brother and the others..."
Xiao Wang's eyes turned cold and he took a sip impatiently: "With their strength, it is impossible to be destroyed in a short time. Even the signal was lost. They were probably pulled into the candlelight illusion by the candle demon... "
"Did they finally show up? I took all precautions, but they still fell into the trap. I hope they don't have to deal with it in the fantasy world for too long..."
"When they come out, with the soil in hand, it won't be a problem to capture the candle demon..."
The subordinate immediately said: "Indeed... but the most important problem is... how they can leave under the eyes of the defense forces."
"Nanke Forest is blocked."
Xiao Wang frowned: "These times are sensitive, and the devil's claws have just been wiped out. If we are too strong, we may very well cause disaster. If it is not possible, we can only let them seek their own blessings?"
To put it this way, it's no different than giving up on the team.
The subordinate said: "But what the king means is that no matter what the price is, this candle demon must be obtained. It is likely to be born during the great cataclysm, and its value is not ordinary."
"In addition...the executive magician is particularly interested in this candle demon. He wants to get it by name. If we can't do it, the higher-ups may..."
Xiao Wang's face darkened, and then he took a deep breath:
"It seems that this breakthrough can only be opened by me. Give me the clothes and I will go out..."
…
"Hey~ wake up, don't sleep! Wake up..."
In the student camp, Ren Jie was woken up by Ning Chuan again, and everything was repeated...
As soon as he woke up this time, Ren Jie opened his eyes, but he did not take any action.
At this moment, his eyes were full of exhaustion and red bloodshot eyes. He looked very depressed and his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
There was no way around it. Ren Jie was about to vomit this day. There were so many fleeting memories in his mind that his head was about to explode.
He couldn't remember how many cycles this was, the fiftieth or the eightieth...
In so many cycles, Ren Jie tried every method he could think of.
It's useless to run away with all the students. In the end, they will only come to Yecheng and explain the cycle to everyone. It's useless. They will just be forced to go back to the next cycle.
After arriving in Yecheng, he led all the students to retreat directly, but it was still useless. They filed away while running. Even if they hid in the fortifications, the fortifications would be broken and everyone would still die.
Ren Jie even tried not to retreat to Yecheng, but to fight the demonic tide directly in the camp. As a result, he died faster, and everyone was wiped out that night.
Then Ren Jie thought about whether this cycle was like that kind of game copy. Only when certain conditions are met and the big boss is defeated can the level be cleared.
Fight back the demonic tide in Yecheng, or wait until the sky fire ignites.
After more than a dozen cycles, Ren Jie changed his main attack direction to this side, but he couldn't defeat it. He couldn't defeat it at all.
The two ancient giants were at level five, and there was even a level six earth dragon. Ren Jie used all the resources at hand and changed countless tactics.
The best achievement was to kill two Guge demons at the cost of almost all of them dying in battle, but they were eventually destroyed by the Earth Dragon.
After trying so many times, Ren Jie finally gave up.
Because Yecheng cannot be defended at all, and the demonic tide cannot be repelled. If the level can only be cleared by completing this achievement, then Ren Jie and the others will not be able to clear the level in this life...
Later, Ren Jie also tried hiding to see if he could wait until dawn and wait for the sky fire to light up.
Focusing on the longest survival time...
But Ren Jie only survived until the middle of the night. Yecheng was destroyed, and the whole world was in hell. Only Ningchuan was left struggling to support...
In the end everyone died.
Ren Jie lived until 3:31 in the morning, which is the longest survival record...
His spirit was almost broken, and he could not find a way to break the cycle. He even broke several cycles. It was during these cycles that Ren Jie began to think...
Why...why does the cycle have to be about this event 180 years ago, and why does this period of time turn into a cycle?
If there is really something unspeakable behind this that is controlling all of this, then what is his purpose?
And why are we allowed to experience this history again and again...
What exactly does it want to convey...
Ren Jie began to sort out all the cycles he had experienced from scratch, not sparing any details, and even deliberately went through them normally several times to confirm his conjectures.
He felt that he had grasped the point...
But... there is not much time left for Ren Jie. If he still cannot break the situation after a few more times, then Ren Jie's spirit will completely collapse.
Every time he experienced the death of a close friend, Ren Jie's heart would be torn apart.
Others are okay, they don't remember all this, every time is a new beginning, just rushing to death...
But Ren Jie is different. In order to break the situation, he remembers everything that happened in the cycle. His pain is greater than that of all students.
But now, the mental state of all the students has begun to deteriorate. They have become listless, and some even have empty eyes.
Even if they don't remember all this, every death and violent mental fluctuations have almost drained them dry.
Jiang Jiuli, Mo Wanrou, Lu Shen and the others looked like eggplants beaten by frost.
At this moment, the cycle was just progressing when Lu Chen made a sneak attack and was knocked away by Ning Chuan.
Looking at the dim light on Ning Chuan's body, Ren Jie couldn't help but said curiously:
"Brother Chuan? What kind of ability do you have? Is it a light ability? It doesn't look like a pure genetic warrior?"
Ning Chuan was stunned: "You have good eyesight. I am indeed not an ordinary genetic warrior, but a devil-contracted person~"
Ren Jie grinned, narrowed his eyes and said, "What a coincidence, isn't it? I am also a Magic Contractor..."
