It is possible to catch a healthy adult woman who is in freefall from the seventh floor.

That arm strength and physique are absolutely phenomenal, no matter where you put them.

Xiao Cheng had just experienced the ups and downs of life, and when she looked up, she saw Fang He's handsome face, which was like a double blow.

It's a pity he's not mute.

"That shouldn't be the case. Given your bold, thick-skinned, and shameless nature, you shouldn't be so easily provoked as to jump off a building," Fang He said, utterly puzzled.

“It wasn’t about jumping off a building,” Xiao Cheng corrected meticulously. “It was about finding loopholes in the timeline.”

Upon hearing this, Fang He nodded seriously, then asked, "Did you find anything?"

“Some timelines are fake in themselves.” Xiao Cheng briefly described her experience just now. “Like the distractors in a multiple-choice question, but since they are fake, there must be loopholes, such as the activity center that disappeared outside the window.”

"Hmm, that makes sense." Fang He nodded lightly, then after a moment's thought, suddenly asked seriously, "Now that you already know this, haven't you noticed... the current loophole?"

Looking into his overly deep eyes, Xiao Cheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason. After speaking, she realized that her voice was trembling involuntarily: "...What loophole?"

“For example,” Fang He narrowed his eyes, deliberately drawing out his words in a mysterious tone, “I still haven’t put you down.”

Xiao Cheng: "..."

She suddenly realized this, her mind went blank, her cheeks began to burn, the burning sensation spread to her ears, and then the tips of her ears began to turn slightly red.

She pursed her lips and jumped down, silently taking half a step to the side. Then, feeling that the distance was still too close, she took another half step to the side.

"If you move any further, you'll be off-screen," Fang He said with amusement. "Am I poisonous? Why would I need to hide so far away?"

“This is clearly normal social distancing,” Xiao Chengyi retorted righteously. “Thank you for your help earlier, and I will definitely repay you in return. That’s all.”

Before Fang He could delve deeper into the topic of repayment, Liu Xiaoying suddenly ran over from a distance. She originally wanted to say something, but seeing the somewhat strange atmosphere between the two, she couldn't help but pause.

"Um, did I come at the wrong time?" She looked at Xiao Cheng, then at Fang He, and suddenly, as if she had discovered something new, her eyes widened. "Eh? You two have ears..."

"No! You've come at just the right time!" Xiao Cheng righteously pulled Liu Xiaoying over, patted her shoulder hard like brothers, and swallowed all the words she was about to say.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Liu Xiaoying gasped as she was slapped. "What triggered you to hit me so hard?"

"We were just talking about the loopholes in the timeline." Xiao Cheng coughed twice, bringing the topic back on track. "Xiao Ying, what are your thoughts?"

“Ah, speaking of that.” Liu Xiaoying’s attention was instantly diverted. “I experienced the repetition of the timeline three times. That strange thing suddenly disappeared, and then I found that my body had returned to normal.”

“These three repetitions were different in detail. I tried to stop a student from breaking school rules, but he still died in the end, only he was stabbed to death by the teacher with a pointer.”

“Before I died, I heard him say… a secret, but I didn’t find anything related to the secret,” Liu Xiaoying said as she recalled.

Then Fang He said, "My situation is similar. One student died, but I didn't hear him say anything. Then the thing suddenly went berserk, and I jumped out of the window."

"Everyone jumped out of the window, so why are you the only one who's unharmed?" Xiao Cheng asked quietly, feeling a subtle sense of imbalance.

Then Fang He glanced at her indifferently: "Because I'm on the first floor."

Xiao Cheng: "..."

She covered her face, wishing she could disappear on the spot. What an embarrassing and brain-dead moment this was!

"Little Orange, how about over there?" Liu Xiaoying asked.

"It's a long story." Xiao Cheng shook her head, recounting her experience for the second time until her throat was dry. "One last question: your teacher, wouldn't happen to also have the surname Liu, wouldn't he?"

She was right.

One world, one teacher.

“So Teacher Liu’s secret is the key,” Liu Xiaoying said thoughtfully. “Judging from your experience, Xiao Chengzi, that thing is obviously closely related to Teacher Liu.”

“That doesn’t really count as a secret, does it?” Xiao Cheng shook his head. “But the thing’s attachment to Teacher Liu is almost pathological. It doesn’t seem like the attitude a student should have towards a teacher.”

“Perhaps we can go take a look at the office building,” Fang He suddenly interjected. “Didn’t Teacher Liu say that she would give you special tutoring?”

Xiao Cheng had almost completely forgotten about this matter, but now that it was suddenly brought up again, all she could say was, let whoever wants this good fortune take it.

“We’ll have to wait until tonight. We haven’t even figured out the most basic timeline yet.” Xiao Cheng shrugged helplessly. “Besides, after all this time, we haven’t even seen the other three players.”

"Oh, does it matter?" Liu Xiaoying said nonchalantly. "Compared to other players, clearing the game is more important, right? Those three look like they're going to drag us down, and that green tea bitch... I just don't want to see her again."

"Let's not discuss that for now," Fang He interrupted them. "Let's look at it another way. Since we can now recover to normal bodies, it means that at least this timeline is correct."

As he spoke, he looked up at the position of the sun overhead: "It's probably a little past noon, but definitely not before afternoon classes start."

“That’s right. Logically speaking, I should have left the activity center around this time and gone to the cafeteria, which is when I ran into you guys coming out.” Liu Xiaoying nodded.

"Then we went to the activity center, only to encounter Number 2, who should have been dead." Xiao Cheng's thoughts began to race. "At this point, the timeline had already started to go awry. Where exactly is the key point?"

“It’s number 3,” Fang He replied calmly. “Before we met number 2, we encountered player number 3, whose event time was 57 minutes, at the entrance of the event center.”

“All the conflicts started with her.” Fang He lowered his eyes, as if deep in thought. “Find her; she is the key.”
