"When the red moon descends, all living things kill each other, and the giant beast revives... So, the purpose of this closed time loop is to prevent the giant beast from resurrecting?"

After listening to Wang Mian's narration, everyone in the [Masked] team was stunned.

"That's right." Wang Mian nodded.

From the looping timeline, Wang Mian has already seen through all the secrets of this fishing village, and can guess why his future self would set up a time loop here. Similarly, he is the only one among all the people present who realizes the seriousness of the matter.

He had already gone back in time twice so far. He knew very well how terrible the sequelae of the [Time Thug] were. Since his future self was willing to sacrifice his life to return here and lock the time here with a closed loop, it meant that once the giant beast revived, it would cause an extremely terrifying butterfly effect...

The best way to solve an error is to prevent it before it happens.

"Have you discovered me..." Seeing that everyone in the Mask had already known the truth, Chen Yangrong, who was embedded in the stomach wall, shook his head with some regret, "In that case, you should know what will happen to you if you don't pull out this knife?"

"Why, bribery doesn't work, so you start threatening us with death?" Xuanwo laughed, "You underestimate us too much. We have been through so many storms over the years. Do you think you can scare us with just a threat like this?"

Xuan Vortex looked at Chen Yangrong with contempt, silently took a half step back, nudged the king with his elbow, and asked in a low voice:

"Captain, what should we do? Are we really going to die here?"

Wang Mian’s brows were tightly furrowed.

He thought carefully for a moment and said, "You guys wait here first. Be careful to control your emotions and don't be affected by the red moon... I'll go back in time and see if I can go back to before we entered this village and stop all this from happening."

【Mask】 and others nodded.

Wang Mian stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the [Yi Yuan] sword at his waist, and the aura of the peak of the "Klein" realm was released. He slowly closed his eyes and pushed the Divine Ruins to the extreme.

The flow of time around him slowed down rapidly.

The dust floating in the air gradually stagnated, Wang Mian's breathing became longer and longer, his pale hair suspended in mid-air. He stood there quietly like a sculpture frozen in time.

In an instant, his eyes suddenly opened!

Silver circles crisscrossed and rotated in his eyes, like the reversed parts of a precision watch, which made people feel dizzy at a glance, as if they contained some extremely mysterious rules.

At the same time, he took a sudden step forward, his body shattered the void, a flash of white light instantly enveloped his body, and the next moment he disappeared without a trace.

Time passed by minute by minute. After dozens of minutes, the surrounding time was disturbed again. The white light flashed again, and Wang Mian's figure staggered out of it. He coughed violently, and the black hair on his forehead turned silver-white at a speed visible to the naked eye...

He bent over and took off the "King" mask on his face. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his face and he breathed heavily.

"team leader!"

"Captain, are you okay?"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the [Masked] team immediately stood up and ran to Wang Mian.

Wang Mian raised his head and looked at the nothingness above his head, his eyes full of fatigue and unwillingness.

"No... I can't escape this closed loop..."

If the time flow in the outside world was normal, it would not be difficult for Wang Mian to use Shenxu to go back in time and return to one day ago, but it was different here.

The time here is distorted by the flowing ring of light at the tail of [Yi Yuan]. It is not a straight line, but a ring that connects the beginning and the end. What's more, what makes up this closed loop is the law of time, not a simple divine ruins. With the current speed of Wang Mian's time reversal, he can't catch up with the speed of the closed loop.

He was like a hamster trapped in a circular running cage. No matter how hard he ran, he could not escape from the cage.

He couldn't go back to the past and change the history of the Masked Team entering the fishing village.

Hearing this, everyone in the [Masked] team looked at each other, Tianping reached out and patted Wangmian on the shoulder.

"It's ok, Captain. This method won't work. Maybe there is another way out... Yuegui, Tanxiang, Xinghen, the three of you will form a team, and I will form a team with Uzumaki Rose. Let's split up and search the edge of the village. There may be a gap that we haven't found yet."

Tianping calmly commanded the people in the [Mask], and the others nodded and left quickly.

Tianping turned around and looked at the exhausted Wang Mian. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Captain, you should take a good rest here first. Leave the rest to us."

Wang Mian was about to say something when Tianping's figure turned into a shadow and disappeared from Wang Mian's sight.

"Hehehe..." Chen Yangrong sneered, "It's a waste of time. I've already said... You can't leave here at all."

Wang Mian looked at the direction where everyone left, was silent for a long time, lowered his head again and put on the "Wang" mask, took a deep breath, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

Having witnessed the closed-loop timeline countless times, he knew very well that what Chen Yangrong said was not wrong. If there was a gap in this closed loop, the power of the Red Moon would have leaked out long ago... Since there was no other way to leave here, the only way out was to go back in time.

No matter what, he must beat the time here. If he fails once, he will try twice. If he fails twice, he will try three times... He has no other choice.

Because he carries the lives of everyone in the Masked Team on his shoulders.

He placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife and activated the [Time Thug] again. His figure rushed into the river of time again and disappeared.

This time, he disappeared for two full hours.

When the white light appeared again, Wang Mian's body fell heavily to the ground. He curled up in pain. His hair had all turned silver-white. Shocking wrinkles appeared on his haggard and pale face. He looked nearly ten years older than before.

Now he is already an old man in his sixties.

"Cough cough cough..." Wang Mian's weak cough echoed in the empty stomach wall.

He ran against the flow of time for two hours, but still couldn't get out of this closed loop...

He still failed.

Damn it! Damn it!!

Why is it still not working?! Why can't he beat the time?!

The king clenched his spotted hands into fists and hammered them hard on the ground, his cloudy eyes filled with regret and unwillingness.
