[Endless Killing: My Fireball Has a Bug! – Chapter 513: Horror Cycle!]
Lin Chuan actually didn’t react for a moment.
He said “Oh” a little late, “That snake, right? Its name is Xiaohong.”
Ying Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Everyone else felt that the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became a little gloomy and anxious.
Everyone has to admire Lin Chuan’s courage!
This is an evolutionary game where a higher-ranking official can really crush people to death!
This guy…
Are you really not afraid of death?!
Even the death row inmate No. 985 couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat!
I was afraid that Lin Chuan would really die, and then I would be implicated!
However, Lin Chuan’s gaze never fell on Ying Xiu.
He didn’t even introduce himself, but pointed at the night sky above the sea and suddenly said, “That moon seems a little strange.”
???
I’m talking to you about snakes and you’re talking to me about the moon?!
However, Ying Xiu reacted quickly, turned around immediately and looked at the night sky.
The seas and islands in this evolution game are actually no different from normal seas and islands in the real world.
The sea is a normal blue color and has a humid and salty smell.
The sea was calm and there was no wind or waves.
And in the night sky, there is also a bright moon.
Yes, Jiaoqi.
Lin Chuan was very sure.
When he was still on Bowei Island, he looked up at the moon.
It is indeed a normal moon, as bright as normal.
But after going out to sea.
The bright moon, however, seemed to grow larger and redder as time went by…
Red is not obvious at first.
Just like human blood, hidden beneath the fair skin.
Even if you see red, it is a healthy red.
The same is true of the full moon.
It didn’t turn into a blood moon, a weird red.
Instead, it looks like human skin, with a rosy glow inside.
At least, at first glance, human eyes would not notice anything unusual.
But if you look closely, you can still see some clues.
Ying Xiuxiu was also a careful person, so he naturally noticed it quickly.
He stared at the full moon with a frown, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked, “Who knows the current time?”
Fu Ze had a watch in his hand that Guanyu had conjured up for him. He obediently reported the time: “11:59, almost midnight…”
He said this casually at first.
When it comes to 0 o’clock, he suddenly becomes solemn.
Not only him, but everyone else suddenly became worried.
Will something happen at midnight?
Everyone was a little nervous.
Fu Ze was even more nervous. He paid attention to the situation around him while staring at the time on his watch.
Tick-tick.
Second by second, this tormenting moment passed especially slowly.
But it will come eventually!
The second hand swept to the 12 position, and Fuzawa clearly saw that all the hands on his watch had stopped!
12:00 AM
It’s as if time has stopped for a moment!
But this feeling of time standing still seemed to be just Fuzawa’s illusion.
Because his brain seemed to be blank for a moment!
Then, in the next second, the world changes!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have been appointed as an instructor of the Ojima Camp! ]
[Your goal is——]
[Cooperate with the command to train a special forces team to complete the task of assassinating the leader of the Shoudao camp within seven days! ]
Familiar reminder sound!
Familiar island!
Familiar camouflage uniform, instructor identity!
Looking around, besides the instructors, there are also death row prisoners!
Fu Ze’s eyes widened instantly!
Looking around, he saw Lin Chuan.
Yes, this time, it is easily recognizable.
Lin Chuan’s brows were deeply furrowed, and the whole body was filled with a heavy pressure!
Look at the three conductors on the top of the rock!
Guanyu, Qu Cheng, should be repaired!
but!
The expressions of Guanyu and Qu Cheng were almost exactly the same as the time Fuze had experienced before.
Only Ying Xiu’s eyes were filled with unconcealable astonishment and shock!
Then scan the others.
Fuzawa was not stupid, and he figured it out almost instantly—
Time reset!
They returned from midnight to the moment they first entered the evolution game!
Identity and camp have not changed!
The only change should be…
Those who went to sea retained their memories.
The other people who stayed on the island seemed unaware that they had experienced a similar scene once before!
This……
Happy Death Anniversary?
Groundhog Day?
Everyone who has been out to sea has a noticeably different expression.
Those 22 people exchanged glances with each other.
And those looks also proved that they did retain the memory of the previous cycle!
Fuzawa could think of it.
Of course Lin Chuan thought of it too.
At the same time, he thought more deeply——
Their cycle…
Is this your first time?
Or did they actually experience this countless times before, and it was just this time, when they went out to sea and retained their memories, that they realized the existence of the cycle?
Lin Chuan observed carefully, thought carefully, and soon came to the conclusion –
This should indeed be the first cycle.
He remembered clearly that in the previous cycle, no one behaved in a way that surprised him.
That is to say, in the previous cycle, no one had the memory of the cycle.
And if the cycle really goes on many times but no one goes out to sea.
Then there are no “variables” in the loop.
Then this cycle will probably repeat itself forever.
Really, day after day, a complete repeat of yesterday.
In this endless repetition, they will almost be trapped forever!
No one would go out to sea, no one would keep memories, no one would be aware of the existence of the cycle, and there would be no variables to change the cycle!
The previous cycle of going out to sea is enough to prove it.
No infinite loop was formed.
So, last time was the first time for these people to come to the evolution game!
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan felt scared again!
What would have happened if they had not decided to go out to sea in the last cycle?
Will it be an endless sinking in an unchanging cycle?
Just like Sisyphus in Greek mythology.
Also like…
Horror Wheel?
For a moment, because of the reset of time, Lin Chuan thought a lot in his mind!
He even thought of—
Could it be that my own rebirth is also a kind of cycle of time resetting?
In fact, before I was reborn, I had experienced the same person countless times.
But unexpectedly, this time, he retained the memory of his last encounter with a human?
So the cycle was broken. Is the person this time different from the countless previous cycles?
But these more complicated things were not what he should think about for the time being.
The problem now is this island and this evolutionary game.
It’s this cycle!
Lin Chuan also looked around.
He saw that the death row prisoner who was set off by Ying Xiuxiu yesterday, or in the previous cycle, was now alive and well!
2,000 instructors and 2,000 death row prisoners, not one less!
For a moment, Lin Chuan, who was standing under the rock, exchanged glances with Ying Xiuxiu, who was on the rock.
Afterwards, it is still the responsibility of the repairman to rectify the situation.
He still killed a death row inmate, just like in the previous cycle.
He still arranged for Fuzawa to become an assistant teacher.
And made eye contact with Fuzawa.
These 22 people who have retained their memories have a very good understanding with each other.
The relationship in the previous cycle is retained.
But this time, there is a slight change –
Under the deliberate guidance of Yuying Xiu, the time of the death row competition was advanced in the evening.
With Fu Ze’s tacit cooperation, the time for Ying Xiuxiu to go to sea was also advanced.
Just after nine o’clock in the evening, the 22 people who retained their circular memory went out to sea again!
This time, the ship sailed away quickly.
22 people, no more self-introductions needed.
Ying Yuxiu no longer acted like a superior deputy commander.
Just a casual “sit”, 22 people sat around on the deck.
Ying Xiu said in a deep voice: “I think everyone should have retained their memories, right?”
There were scattered voices responding with “yes”.
So it’s obvious –
“At midnight, the time will be reset to the moment we entered the evolution game. Those who have been out to sea will retain their memories. Those who have not been out to sea will think they have just entered the evolution game.”
After giving a brief summary, Ying Xiu looked up at the sky.
There was a bright moon, and nothing unusual could be seen.
“The moon at this time is still normal.”
Someone else asked, “Do you think the cycle of time is related to the moon?”
Ying Xiu nodded: “First of all, in the last cycle, we did see changes in the moon.”
“Secondly, the moon waxes and wanes. The word ‘moon’ has always been related to time. Moreover, the waxing and waning of the moon can also be seen as a kind of reincarnation.”
Someone asked, “Our most urgent task is to break the cycle, right?”
Someone else responded: “Isn’t this nonsense? If we don’t crack it, how can we complete the mission and play the game?”
The person who just asked the question is a death row inmate.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “It’s obvious that going to sea can help us preserve our loop memory.”
“But I wonder if there is a possibility——”
“This so-called cycle is caused by us going out to sea?”
The air was quiet for a moment.
The man who had just refuted the death row inmate followed up with: “You mean, if we don’t go out to sea, maybe… this cycle won’t happen?”
For a moment, the air fell into an even more solid silence.
Even the atmosphere is a bit depressing!
What this death row inmate said is not impossible.
But, does anyone dare to try?
If you don’t go out to sea, you will have a cycle of memories!
What if they never go out to sea again after they regain their memories, and never realize that they are trapped in a loop, living a life that repeats yesterday over and over again…
Wouldn’t that be an even more horrific outcome?
After all, people are full of fear of knowledge!
No one can guarantee how things will develop after the memory is restored!
No one wants to lose a memory.
Therefore, almost no one is willing to try the option of not going overseas!
At this time, Fuzawa raised another point: “I think, if we follow the rules of the game to do the assassination mission, we will eventually find Shoujima.”
“And to find the first island, we have to go out to sea.”
“Going to sea is inevitable.”
“So I thought, maybe the game setting is like this-“
“After setting sail, if we fail to find the first island before midnight, the time will be reset.”
“And if we can find the first island, or complete a task on the first island, time will continue?”
