Chapter 17 [Scene 1] I must understand you completely...
"That's the whole story on my side." He Yuezhe picked up the orange juice on the table and drank it in small sips.
Well, the drinks in this restaurant are pretty good.
The two people sitting on the other side of the table couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Qin Ye should have lived her life happily, but now this is the ending.
"Now it's my turn?" said the balloon-head with the "Bell Rolls Are the Best" sign on his head. "My version is relatively simple, so I should be able to finish it quickly."
He Yuezhe and Yuan Yang nodded in unison.
The two of them didn't expect that the famous PVP boss in the group, "The Bell Roll is the Best", would come to play the dungeon, and they happened to meet them.
"My character calls herself 'A Ling,' but it seems to be just a pseudonym," said "Bell Rolls Are the Best." "She came to that school looking for someone, but unfortunately, the person she was looking for seems to have died."
"So in order to safely evacuate this tiger school, she had to take the initiative to join the company and gain the trust of the upper management."
"The day of the assessment was also the day 'A Ling' decided to evacuate. She dropped Xiao Qin and Ye off in the valley and was about to leave, but for some unknown reason she stayed."
“This is where I first…”
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Hey," "Ring rolls are the best," glared at Yuan Yang, who was coughing because of the drink he choked on, "Focus on the lecture! Don't keep drinking."
Yuan Yang nodded while coughing, and finally he coughed so hard that he almost fell off the table.
"The bell rolls are the best." Seeing this, he rushed forward and pulled him up, then...
Uh, she must have taken out a hemp rope from her backpack and tied the person up.
"Wow."
"The bell rolls are the best." He looked at the doll-faced girl with glowing eyes beside him with a puzzled look: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just expressing my feelings. Can you continue?" The doll-faced girl returned to normal.
"Hmph." "The bell rolls are the best" also glared at her, returned to his seat and began his own reasoning.
"My initial guess is that 'A Ling's' stay has something to do with the flowers planted outside the school."
"Because from what 4399 just said about the 'Inspector' circumventing the sea of flowers, he must have known that these flowers had some kind of effect, and that it would affect his actions."
"But apart from the explicit mention in the 'Inspector' line, neither my line nor Qin Ye's line mentioned flowers much, so I can't be particularly sure..."
"But!" The voice of "Hibiri-kun is the most delicious" suddenly became louder. "Under the reasoning of my famous detective Hiibiri-kun, all evil will be exposed!"
"We will definitely be able to successfully decipher 'Valley of Fantasy'! Do you have the confidence?!"
…
"...Do you have confidence?!" Detective Hibiki shouted.
"The audience around her all cheered. Oh my god, is this the power of the Great Detective's Ring Scroll?!"
"I didn't expect..."
“Stop, stop, stop!”
"The Bell Roll is the best!" quickly stopped the radio in Hummingbird's hand: "They're...!"
"Don't you like it, Detective Hibiki-sama? Well, it's okay if you don't like it. Just treat it as a parting gift. You should keep it well." "Hummingbird" smiled at her.
"What parting gift... Hey, wait, explain yourself!"
“Sizzle—sizzle—”
"Emergency Notice! Emergency Notice!"
"Due to a serious value mismatch problem in the game system, the game will be shut down soon! The game will be shut down soon!"
"Players please return to your spawn point within 5 minutes. Once the game is shut down, you will be ejected into the real world!"
"Players, please prepare yourself!"
"Notification complete! Notification complete!"
“Hey, you—!”
"Goodbye."
He Yuezhe blinked and disappeared from Xianglingjuan's base.

A few minutes ago.
He Yuezhe had just packed a gift for "The Best Ringing Roll".
After all, she had been the one leading the three of them in the PVP during this period, and He Yuezhe would feel embarrassed not to give her some gift in return.
At this moment, Yuan Yang suddenly sent a message, saying that there was a "surprise", and asked her to find the "most delicious bell roll" as soon as possible if she wanted to.
The message was withdrawn the next second after it was read.
Moreover, He Yuezhe discovered that this person had blocked both him and "Colorful World"!
However, ever since "Ring rolls are the most delicious" was added to the group, Yuan Yang always posted promotional advertisements in the group such as "Eat healthy and live to 99", "Don't drink beverages! 9 major hazards of beverages", and "Teach you how to play PVP".
He Yuezhe was really annoyed, so he encouraged "Colorful World" to block Yuan Yang first, and then after making sure that it was nothing serious, he quietly blocked Yuan Yang as well.
If that’s the case… then how did he send me the message?
…
...Is this the "surprise" that Yuan Yang mentioned?
He Yuezhe lay in the birthplace, watching the increasingly chaotic scene in front of him.
All of his numerical values were changing rapidly, and He Yuezhe experienced the transformation from being as strong as an ox to being skinny and then back to being strong and healthy.
There is always incense burning at the birth point, which is said to ensure players sleep well.
He Yuezhe also tried to throw the incense away, but failed.
This incense seemed to be constantly refreshed at the spawn point. The scent was very faint, but after smelling it for too long, her eyes would always feel stinging.
It was not known whether he fell asleep or fainted from the pain, but He Yuezhe gradually lost consciousness in the thick smoke.
......
......
......
“When will this end?”
"Kill them, kill them all!"
"You don't remember us? Then why did you—!"
"If it doesn't work this time."
"Cheers! Cheers to us!"
"Shall we try another method?"
"No, no! No! Why is it still not working? Why! I really..."
"Can we save everyone?"
"Speak up! Don't be dumb!"
"I miss home."
"Home......?"
"Where is home?"
"who I am."
"Will I die?"
"Will I...win the championship?"
“…”
"Someone came to rescue me."
“…”
"kill!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!!"
"die!!!--"
"Just kill everyone, right?!"
“…”
“Ask your heart, does it agree?”
......
......
......
“Boom, boom, boom!”
There was a knock on the door.
He Yuezhe opened his eyes.
Sure enough, the cycle still hasn't ended?
She stood up and put her coat on again, an action she had done hundreds of times.
"Squeak--" the door was pushed open from the inside.
He Yuezhe looked at Yuan Yang, who was still shivering outside the door, and frowned in confusion. Could it be that he recognized him again in the "real world"?
He Yuezhe smiled and asked, "What do you need from me?"
"Do you remember what happened in the last cycle?" Yuan Yang held a notebook.
"'Bell rolls are the best,' remember?"
He Yuezhe was shivering from the cold. She was very afraid of the cold. "...Remember."
She lowered her head slightly and looked at the notebook in Yuan Yang's hand. The notebook showed obvious signs of use. It seemed that things were exactly as she thought.
But why do some people feel cold inside their bodies?
Isn’t it a sunny day!
Could he be a person frozen in time from the last century?!
"Qin Ye and Qibanhua, which one do you remember?" Yuan Yang asked again.
"...Qin Ye."
"Have you ever played PVP?"
"Yes."
......
Yuan Yang asked several more questions, and He Yuezhe even had the thought that he had "no impression at all" or "can't remember" some of the things and people mentioned in the questions.
"It's the second time..." Yuan Yang kept flipping through his notebook, finally stopping and circling a page, "Hmm... You seem to have lost your memory."
He Yuezhe:?? How did they come up with such a bizarre conclusion?
"Why do you say that?" She put on her coat and zipped it up.
"In fact, since the end of the second cycle in your memory, we have experienced a total of 217 cycles."
"But some of your memories are missing. They don't know about the existence of the 'loop'."
Yuan Yang cleared his throat.
"So my initial suspicion was that the loop caused multiple 'you' to appear in the same timeline, and the 'you' I met was not the 'you' I knew at the beginning."
"Like 'The Night the Comet Came' [Note 1]?" He Yuezhe asked.
"Hmm?" Yuan Yang nodded and shook his head in confusion. "But after some investigation, I found that there is only one 'you' in each timeline."
"So your final conclusion is that I simply lost my memory many times?"
"Ah, perhaps."
“…”
“…”
"This is the longest conversation you have ever said to me since I met you, and it seems to be nonsense." He Yuezhe spoke in silence.
Yuan Yang didn't say anything. He scratched his head and found that a lot of his hair had fallen out and looked very brittle.
"..." He Yuezhe held his forehead with his hand, "So in these 217 cycles, have we ever experienced not entering the game?"
"I mentioned it, but none of those 'you' were willing to do it."
This is indeed what she would do if she lost her memory. After all, her purpose in coming to this world is to save the young man in front of her, that is, to fulfill his wish -
Complete "Nuts" (?).
For me who didn't know about the "loop", there was no reason not to enter the game.
"Okay, so can you explain to me why you're having a cold? And why you're holding a knife?"
He Yuezhe also accepted the fact that he had lost his memory.
......But she still couldn't accept Yuan Yang's look, which seemed like he had bubbles in his head.
Sparse and messy hair, a long white robe with several big holes that was leaking air, a pair of bear-like cotton slippers with bright eyes, and a dirty knife in his hand behind his back.
Of course, this air leakage does not mean that the wind is leaking in, but that the white air inside is leaking out.
Yuan Yang was stunned for a moment, his hands still behind his back: "Feeling cold?!"
It seemed that even he himself didn't know what was going on.
"Forget it." He Yuezhe waved his hand. "We've been talking for so long, are you thirsty?"
Yuan Yang began to nod blankly.
"Then come in and sit on the sofa for a while. Shall I get you a glass of water?"
Yuan Yang nodded blankly again.
^
He Yuezhe had noticed before that there was an extremely large water dispenser in the kitchen of Tang Liu's house, and next to it was a bottle of capsules with a label that said "Drink and you will die."
In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, she had to put aside her curiosity about trying it.
But this time, since it has been confirmed that it is a cycle, isn’t a great experimental subject right in front of us?
It's a good opportunity to test whether your guess is correct.
I just wonder if this cycle will continue after Yuan Yang dies?
He Yuezhe filled a glass of water with a bird pictured on it, then took out a capsule and threw it in.
The label on the medicine bottle says "soluble in water, colorless and odorless", so there is no need for anything else to cover it up.
There were four other cups hanging on the cup rack, also with different cartoon patterns painted on them, but several of them had been painted over by Tang Liu with a black marker.
He Yuezhe also poured himself a glass and walked out with two glasses of water.
^
Yuan Yang was sitting upright on the sofa, motionless, like an ice sculpture.
"Here." He Yuezhe handed him the water.
Yuan Yang replied quietly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He Yuezhe watched him drink it mouthful after mouthful. "How does it taste? Is it delicious?"
"Hmm, it tastes great. Is it light salt water?"
He Yuezhe didn't reply, but his smiling eyes made Yuan Yang suddenly feel a little uneasy.
"Why don't you speak?" Yuan Yang put down the empty cup and quickly felt dizzy.
"What do you want to hear from me?" He Yuezhe asked, "Why should I talk to you if you don't even answer my questions?"
"ah......"
He Yuezhe took a sip of water and looked at the boy who was gradually falling motionless on the sofa beside him.
It really is true that “one drink will kill you”.
That's really interesting.
He Yuezhe found a bundle of hemp rope that Tang Liu had hidden under the bed in the room.
To ensure that everything was safe, she decided to tie up Yuan Yang first and then search his house.
When he took the knife out of his hand, He Yuezhe discovered that those traces that looked like dirt had a hint of blood.
He even put a small note on the knife, but for some reason, many of the words on the note were blurred and could not be seen clearly.
There were three sentences that He Yuezhe could confirm, all of which said "I am Yuan Yang", while the others were written with some words that He Yuezhe saw but could not understand.
Is there something wrong with your cognition?
No, my memory only has two cycles, which will not have any serious impact on me.
Is that Yuan Yang?
Two hundred and seventeen cycles, I don't know, maybe more. It seems like he really does have a little secret he's hiding from me.
Oh no, that won’t do. You are my target.
He Yuezhe said softly.
I must understand you completely.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
[Note 1]: "The Night the Comet Came", the night the comet came, the world lines (time and space) overlapped and became chaotic.
Example: Xiao Jia, a person in space-time A, arrives in space-time B this evening. He may go to another space-time, but he can never return to space-time A.
This also means that there may be multiple Xiaojia in the same space-time, that is, Xiaoyi in space-time B will meet Xiaojia in space-time A, and even Xiaojia in space-time B will meet Xiaojia in space-time A.
In short, it is a movie that tells the story of the protagonist's experience in the overlap of time and space.
In fact, it is not similar to this story, because the heroine in this story is just %#+*%.
