[Jinjiang Exclusive] Talents are plentiful in Panyuan Town

[New, new settings have appeared!]

[Ah? Ah?! Ah? ?!]

[May I ask what other identities do you have that we don’t know about?]

[But compared to my other identities, novelist Luo Shiqin seems to be more ordinary...]

[Don’t you have any doubts about the authenticity of this ‘novel author’ identity? Compared to the new vest that Luo Senior Sister was exposed, I believe that she found an excuse herself... And looking at Jinli’s behavior, I know that Luo Senior Sister has concealed her true identity...]

[! Got it! It means that just like the previous communication with Dr. Mei Maobing, the pen pals always thought that they were communicating about the setting of the novel, but it was actually a real thing?! ]

[Wait, who is Dr. Mei Mao Bing?]

[It’s Mei Huayue! The best doctor in Xiduoduo Mental Hospital!]

[Help, how come I can see it everywhere XDD]

[Good idea, but my friend didn't admit his true identity even after I beat him half to death. Why?]

[…Before saying anything else, I’ll give your friend some wax first]

Xu Wenwen was not suspicious, and she had already spent some time in Misty Middle School and noticed the strange details happening on campus, but the problem was that when her best friend told her that something was wrong, she still felt it was unrealistic.

Moreover, as Luo Shiqin's old friend for seven years, she naturally knew what Luo Shiqin's hobbies were. Therefore, when this abnormal situation was mentioned, she subconsciously leaned towards her best friend's hobbies.

Luo Shiqin helplessly reached out and rubbed her hairy head for a few times before slowly explaining: "Although I also want to say 'this is the new setting', unfortunately, it is not."

She quickly told Xu Wenwen almost everything about how she arrived in the Misty Town, how many time loops she experienced, and how she finally reunited with her best friend.

Of course, except for some unnecessary things.

For example, the existence of the Book of Abnormal Life.

Xu Wenwen also reacted quickly. She lowered her head, leaned against the back of a chair, frowned and said, "So, in my current memory, although this is the first time I have come to this strange town, in fact, I have been here many times?"

"No wonder I feel like I'm seeing something..."

She raised her hand and rubbed her head. When she looked at her best friend, her eyes lit up and she seemed to want to ask something, but considering that there were other strangers present, she finally kept silent.

"Then how can we get out?" Teacher Xu put his right hand on his chin and began to think, "Do we have to stop the student who committed suicide?"

She asked, "Shiqin, should we go to the class to look for someone now?"

"...I did think so when the cycle started," Luo Shiqin shook his head, "but now I have another idea."

She leaned against the wall, sorting out the clues she had gathered from these cycles in her mind.

First of all, there is always a layer of fog covering the periphery of the foggy town, and as time continues to circulate, the initial location of the fog will gradually move closer to the center of the town.

And at the end of last week, Luo Shiqin had already verified that even if you enter the town, the fog will still gather towards the center of the town.

This means that, although there will be no true death in this misty town, the multiple cycles of time will also increase the probability of the reincarnated player falling into rigidity at the initial location.

Being frozen in place and unable to move...if it lasts a lifetime, then how is it different from death?

However, if the circulation does not come by 3:40 p.m. on the 18th, the fog outside the town will still be swallowed in, and the final result will be that the fog occupies the town.

so……

"So, that girl committed suicide not only because she wanted to find Teacher Xu," Chu Ye suddenly realized, "but also because if she didn't circulate, the fog would engulf the middle school."

Luo Shiqin nodded: "Yes."

"I want to ask," Teacher Xu said cautiously, "Why did the other party want to find me?"

Crowd: …

Indeed, why did the other party decide to commit suicide and trigger a time loop after realizing that he could not find Xu Wenwen?

This leads to another question: since time has already repeated itself, why was there no way to prevent Teacher Xu from disappearing (being hit and knocked unconscious)?

Everyone began to think about the answers to these questions.

Why...

Luo Shiqin looked at Xu Wenwen, who also had a confused expression on her face, and her gaze shifted from her to the virtual screen in front of her.

"Lucky Fool" [Comment]

She chose not to open the main text, firstly because time was a bit tight, and secondly because perhaps the author would not write the real answer in the text until the end of the story.

Instead of spending too much time collecting information and analyzing sentences, it is better to take a shortcut.

[Eh? Are we already at the deduction stage?!]

[Help! Grow a brain!]

[Cai Cai, kinki, daidai! ]

[It’s time to @the prophet! ]

[My external brain! Lord Prophet! !]

[Prophet]: […Don’t put everything outside. Senior’s analysis makes sense. Even if the protagonists find the key girl now, they can’t end everything.]

[Prophet]: [Also, although I am a fan of Luo, I am also an old fan who has been following this book since it was first serialized. Personally, I think Nishiki is not just lucky, nor is she a complete fool. Teacher Xu's personal charm is greater than the so-called "lucky halo" that the author has given her.]

[Prophet]: [Try to put yourself in that girl's shoes, and you will understand what kind of role Teacher Xu means to her.]

Do you want to put yourself in the client's perspective?

Luo Shiqin had no doubt about Teacher Xu's personal charm.

After all, when most of her friends labeled Xu Wenwen as "lucky", she had already seen through Xu Wenwen's true nature.

Teacher Xu is an idealist like his pen pal.

But unlike pen pals, Xu Wenwen is more pure.

If she were to give her evaluation, it would be—

He is a mature adult who, after seeing through the nature of life, still holds on to passion, hope, and adheres to principles.

"Lucky Fool"... absolutely right.

Xu Wenwen is indeed a 'fool'.

But she is lucky enough and can bring her good luck to others and infect them.

According to this idea, the above two questions have answers.

Because Teacher Xu is a bright street light that the girls encounter in this foggy town.

If the street lights pointing the way are broken, how can people traveling ahead find the direction?

As for why we didn't save Teacher Xu...

I have said before that in Misty Middle School, students have the lowest status and rights. That girl may have tried hard, but the result... I am afraid it is not that good.

So for her, the only way to see Teacher Xu again is to let time go back in time.

"As for the reason, I have a rough guess." She simply told the others the guess she had just thought of, and then continued, "So, if the other party can't see Teacher Xu, I'm afraid he will continue to cycle time on the 18th."

It is easy to save a person who has a hope of survival, but it is extremely difficult to save the person who has no hope of survival.

"It's not that we don't look for people, but we have to find the right time."

She said: "There are two reasons why the other party wants to cycle time. One is Teacher Xu, and the other is the threat of fog."

"She will naturally give up the idea of ​​time looping after meeting Teacher Xu, but when the fog comes, she will still decide to loop. She is not a fool to tell the difference between being full all the time or being full all the time."

"What should we do? It's useless even if we find the person?"

Chu Ye scratched his head irritably, then was stunned: "No, the Lord God will not give unsolvable problems."

"Put the Lord God aside, Chu Ye."

Luo Shiqin sighed when she heard this term.

"Do you still think this is just a so-called Lord God mission instance?"

The NPCs here are as real as real people, not to mention the unidentified Luo Shiqin and Teacher Xu who doesn't look like an NPC either.

Chu Ye was silent.

"…What do you mean?"

Luo Shiqin raised her eyes, and seemed to see through his face the alien author who was desperately working on his writing to achieve a miracle: "Do you still remember what you want to do?"

Of course, it is to complete the dungeon, earn points and revive teammates.

"Who are your teammates?"

Chu Ye was stunned.

My teammates are of course——

Who?

[…Chu Ye’s thoughts suddenly fell into chaos.

Who should I save? My teammates?

But who are my teammates? 】

In the nursing compartment of a ward in a different space, Chu Wen's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Her hands tapped on the keyboard, guiding the consciousness of the protagonist of her novel - or her brother, the now unconscious Chu Ye - bit by bit.

[…I remember now.] She typed these words solemnly.

Didn’t his teammates…already escape from the main god space?

"Brother Ye, I'm leaving now! See you outside the main god space!"

'Brother Ye, it's time for you to wake up. Wenwen and Auntie are still waiting for you in reality.'

"Don't sleep, brother...Okay, let's play one more round. You must wake up after this round."

"You must wake up, Chu Ye."

While the man in the jacket held his forehead with his hands in confusion, Luo Shiqin was also thinking about what to do next.

If Luo Shiqin had not joined, the final solution would probably be for the players to rescue Teacher Xu (or take Teacher Xu's token) and meet the girls in Class 2-3 of Senior High School.

As for the ending... it should be the cliché of sacrificing oneself to save the world.

But here comes Luo Shiqin, a typical fan of happy endings.

Senior Luo refuses to use her real name to end the game!

So she decided!

"——Hey, what are you guys still doing here?!"

The door of the conference room was kicked open again, and in rushed Zhao Youxiao holding a rabbit doll.

She looked at the group of people in the room and twitched her lips: "Are you all cosplaying as The Thinker? Get up and work!"

"Chu Ye! The girl from Class 2-3 is missing. I didn't find her in class just now!"

The rabbit doll opened and closed its three-petal mouth, and Quejiu said hurriedly: "But I saw her again when I went up to the teaching building just now, on the top floor!"

Top floor?

Luo Shiqin's eyes changed, and she turned around and shouted to Xu Wenwen: "Wenwen, let's go upstairs!"

Top floor...

A group of people rushed out of the conference room, and Luo Shiqin realized that it was already dark in the misty town. The bright moon above their heads was now shrouded in mist, with only a cold gray light shining down.

What else can you do on the top floor at this hour? !

The other party wants to time loop again!

Luo Shiqin gritted her teeth as she ran and told the others: "The speed at which the fog is rushing into the town has increased. The other party is now preparing to continue restarting time!"

It was almost a day earlier than the 18th, but the question is, who knows whether this group of reincarnation players can get off the long-distance bus safely in the next cycle!

The players of the reincarnation game could not gamble, so they all ran to the top floor as fast as they could.

The leader, Zhao Youxiao, kicked the metal door on the top floor with a fierce kick, and everyone successfully reached the top of the teaching building of Misty Middle School.

On the rooftop, a short-haired girl who looked familiar to Xu Wenwen was standing at the edge and looked over when she heard the sound.

"Teacher Xu!"

She first shouted in surprise, then her eyes moved to Luo Shiqin's serious face.

"Sure enough, the teacher is right." The short-haired girl smiled brightly, "There is still hope."

"If you take one more step, there will be no hope."

Luo Shiqin said quickly: "You want to start the cycle, right? Forget it. As the number of cycles increases, the time it takes for the fog to reach the school will become shorter and shorter. This is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause."

"Yes!"

Although he hadn't figured out the relationship yet, Xu Wenwen subconsciously believed what his best friend said and said something along those lines.

"Student, don't be impulsive. Come down first and we will talk slowly."

"Teacher Xu, we don't have time." The short-haired girl shook her head and answered her, "But it doesn't matter. We can still meet tomorrow."

She could already picture her dear teacher Xu once again introducing herself clumsily but sincerely.

"——Are you willing?"

Luo Shiqin took a step towards her.

"You clearly know that this won't change anything. Although time is cyclical, for you and Teacher Xu, it's just a repetition of what happened last week."

"As a student, you think you can't change Mr. Xu's fate, and Mr. Xu, who has lost his memory, can't fight against other monsters in the school."

"Instead of coming back again and again with nothing, we can now calm down and discuss..."

"But it's too late now." She turned her head and looked at the mist gradually climbing up the hillside not far away. "We must restart time."

This way, I can see Teacher Xu again tomorrow.

Teacher Xu was able to continue introducing himself.

Continue to tell them interesting stories.

Keep living.

"Sometimes I feel a little tired..."

She murmured.

The oncoming wind brought the girl's voice to Xu Wenwen's ears.

“But if there are no teachers, is there really any hope for this world?”

I might fix it a little bit tomorrow.
