Chapter 262: [Dead Loop]
“Flip flip stir.”
"Add four more screws without heads."
"But something's not right."
"As witches know, the heart is a very troublesome ingredient..."
…
Fine white sand slid down from the sky, and Su Mingan heard Dongxue's gentle singing accompanying him as he fell.
The firelight flickered outside his closed eyelids, and light and darkness began to mix in his eyes.
“——Brother!”
In his sleep, he suddenly heard a call.
Mizushima Kawaharu is dead, and he has one last clue left...
This most difficult and darkest world since the beginning of the game is finally coming to an end...
"Brother! Brother! Wake up, brother——!"
The sound in my ears still continues.
Mo Yan seemed to be shouting into his ear. His voice was loud and piercing, roaring like a machine gun.
"Brother—Brother—don't sleep—!!!"
He opened his eyes as if he was suddenly pulled out from the deep sea.
A steady white light slowly shone into his eyes.
...Wait, white light?
Su Mingan clearly remembered that he fell asleep in a cave with a fire, so how could there be a stable white light...
He stood up suddenly and felt his entire chest churning. Floc-like objects were floating in the air and he couldn't help but cough violently.
The violent coughing made his vision misty. He opened his eyes and quickly scanned the surroundings, seeing everything in gray.
He fell silent.
Mo Yan was standing beside his bed with the wooden door wide open behind him.
Behind the wooden door was a long, dark corridor.
The bloodstained notebook lay quietly on the table, and a round light was approaching in the distance.
“…”
Su Mingan's eyes were a little dazed.
"Brother, brother, why has the instance been reset? Brother, what did you and Dongxue do in the cave? Why did she die again..."
Mo Yan scratched his head. His expression was a mixture of fatigue and dejection. His hair was messy and it looked like he had just crawled out of bed.
...How did Dongxue die?
Su Mingan remembered that he fell asleep to the song of Dong Xue at that time, and there were only two of them in the cave, so it was impossible for the cave to collapse suddenly... And if there were any external enemies, Mo Yan, who was guarding the door, would also find out...
Su Mingan had a headache, but he soon heard a series of footsteps.
Light and swift, as if something was rushing towards this side at a high speed.
He saw the girl with a hideous face.
Her blue and white hospital gown glowed a dark yellow under the round light, and her black hair was tangled like spider silk, covered in sweat.
She stretched out her hands, her feet stuck into the ground like stakes, her bloodshot eyes bulged out like fish:
“——Die! Die——!”
Su Mingan's breathing stagnated.
A bad premonition crept into his mind, and he suddenly realized something amidst Mizushima Kawaharu's crazy roar.
That was written in the system interface at the beginning, a clear and concise rule -
[After the instance is reset, the dead NPC will be resurrected, but the dead players will not be resurrected. ]
...Mizushima Kawaharu.
Her current status is,
NPC.
Su Mingan looked at her, watched her palms explode with blood, heard an explosion from somewhere in the room, and burst out with blood-red light.
He seemed to hear a crisp sound of ruby breaking.
Hearing this crisp sound, he suddenly understood -
This is a dead loop.
...If he didn't kill Mizushima Kawaharu immediately every time the copy was reset, Dongxue would continue to die forever.
Because that blood-red pendant that could take her life at any time would always be in the hands of Mizushima Kawaharu.
The world was spinning.
The copy was reset again.
He immediately summoned his clone, trying to strangle Mizushima Kawaharu as soon as possible.
But surprisingly, when he was summoned, he suddenly heard the prompt of [deducting five career points].
His mind was blank for a moment.
…Career points are only deducted when resurrecting a clone.
Even if the instance is reset, Shadow's alive status is preserved. Unless Shadow is truly dead, he needs to use career points to revive.
But Ying shouldn't be dead... If Ying died, I would definitely notice it.
So, who died before the copy was reset?
Su Mingan suddenly came to his senses.
A chill gradually crept up my spine.
He stood there, sweating profusely, his outstretched hands trembling.
As expected, the summoned shadow stood there and glanced at him.
"You're dead." said Ying.
Su Mingan closed his eyes:
"In the cave?"
"Yes." Ying said, "Dongxue's pendant suddenly exploded, and you died with her."
“……”Su Mingan understood.
Therefore, the copy will be reset.
"Dongxue's pendant exploded." he murmured.
Ying stood there, without moving.
"Dongxue's pendant exploded..." Su Mingan's hands were shaking.
It was as if an illusory sea water gradually surrounded him, and he gradually became unable to breathe.
Everything gray and white in front of him began to spin, and he felt a sticky sensation on his back.
He hadn't been this flustered in a long time.
Because he gradually discovered his situation.
A situation that gradually became impossible for him to escape.
【Dead loop】
Before the copy was reset, Mizushima Kawaharu was clearly dead.
