Volume I 105

Enercillin felt that it hadn't been long since he had cleaned up those jellyfish-like evils, but he couldn't remember when he had come here, and he couldn't remember what he had been through during that time, he only felt that he was a little cold, although it was an acceptable temperature, but he still felt very cold, his body was very heavy, he was a little tired, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of spirituality.

Maybe it's the pressure on the sea that has increased again, Enercillin thought, trying to ignore the stinging pain in his body, he told himself that it could be caused by pressure, and that he had been like this before.

Enacylin, who was walking with his teammates in front of him, noticed that his surroundings were unusually quiet, so quiet that he couldn't feel the presence of his teammates, but they were indeed in his line of sight.

Ernacillin blinked, reconfirming the situation around him, and his teammates in line of sight did not seem to have any problems.

Secretly pulling out an "upside-down studio", Ernacillic remembered what Delcons had said before, that humanoid monsters would make people subconsciously ignore their existence and wait until they reacted and had fallen into their encirclement.

Could that be the case now? Enacyrin thought as he began to focus on his surroundings.

Ernacillin didn't ask, he was worried that everyone around him had been replaced by those humanoid monsters, and then used his ability to make him subconsciously ignore them.

Whoosh –

A dark shadow passed before Ernacillin's eyes, and without hesitation, he unleashed an ice blade that stabbed it, pinning it to the ground.

With the help of the light on the goggles, Enasilin could see the dark shadow, a humanoid monster about the size of a five-year-old child, with wounds all over its face.

It was covered in jet-black fluff, and its eyes glowed green, and it was glaring at Ennacyrin with resentment, as if it wanted to eat him alive.

Ernacillin looked at it coldly, and did not kill it.

He was now very worried that the people who were standing next to him and being seen by him were real monsters, and this monster was actually a teammate.

"Whew-" The creature crimined to the ground suddenly howled bitterly!

A large swarm of similar humanoid monsters suddenly sparked out of the darkness around them, but they were clearly much larger than the ones pinned to the ground, like adults.

They stared at Ennacillin with wary and hostile eyes, and they could vaguely tell that they were still a little afraid.

Ernacillin didn't dare to move, he could understand the wary and hateful eyes, but the fear seemed strange, if it was the fear of the two gods left by the two marks on his neck, it would be understandable, but the look in them did not seem like fearful fear, but pure, fear of him as a person.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong.

Enercyrin felt like his memory was blank, he had no idea how he got here or what had happened in the meantime.

Zheng –

The sound of a knife being drawn sounded in Enacylin's ears, and a creepy feeling came from his lower back.

But his body was obviously reacting faster than his brain, and as soon as the creepy sensation appeared, he had already completed the sideways dodge. At the same time, an ice blade appeared in his hand to block the gray-white long knife attacking from behind!

Everything is so smooth, so smooth that it's like going through it several times, and muscle memory has been formed.

Isn't right!Ernacillin looked at Lukes, who was coming at him with a long gray-and-white knife, his eyes half-closed, as if he had been trapped in some kind of illusion.

Lux's most pure melee combat is naturally much better than the semi-melee of Ernacillin.

But unexpectedly, Enacylin's body seemed to have memorized the opponent's attack methods, and could always respond a few tenths of a second in advance, so that the opponent's attack was not successful once.

Buzz –

A cloud of pitch-black smoke and a blade of water hidden in the sea flew straight towards Enercillin, who was wrestling with Lux, and without noticing the two attacks at all, he almost subconsciously rolled to the side, almost perfectly avoiding them.

Everything was so coincidental, it was like it had been rehearsed several times in advance, and the body had naturally memorized those movements and dodged in advance without the brain realizing it.

Ernacillin still had points on his skills, and with three attacks at the same time, he couldn't have dodged so perfectly.

Unless, the same routine he has done three or more times.

Ernacillin squinted, the pressure on his body became heavier, and he suddenly felt a chill in the back of his neck.

Subconscious again!

His body pulled out the "Upside Down Studio" without his brain reacting at all, activated, encapsulated Lux and the others into the drawing space, eliminated the pressure, controlled everyone with gravity, turned his head, and found that Calle, who was originally holding a weapon at him, was pressed to the ground by gravity.

This series of movements was so natural and smooth that he felt frightened.

What the hell is going on?!!The thought crossed Enercillin's mind, and a creepy familiarity swept through him again.

Enacyrin took a deep breath, and when he reached the absence of water, he realized that his wetsuit was already soaked, that there was a penetrating wound in the lower back, that the clothing on his left shoulder had disappeared without a trace, and that there was a sharp cut in his flank.

And these are just the same as the three attacks of Lukes, Leah, and Miette!

He hurriedly examined his body carefully, and found that in addition to these three more conspicuous scars, there were different degrees of scars on the diving suit and on his body, which were basically knife wounds.

Looking at the others, there were more or less scratches on their bodies, the most common were Delcons and Lukes, whose wetsuits were torn several times, and the lightest was Rien, who didn't know if they didn't scratch their wetsuits or scratched in a place where they couldn't see.

Now Ennacyrin completely figured out that it was not that his body reacted quickly, but that he had experienced these identical attacks I don't know how many times!

What to do? What to do now? Get out? Not to go out? Ernacillin stood still, anxiously thinking about what to do next.

Maybe I should find a way to break this endless cycle first, but what should I do?

My mind and body memory seem to have gotten used to this cycle, maybe I can try to reverse the first thought that comes to me?

No, no. Now that I'm thinking so, how can I guarantee that I wouldn't have thought that way before?

Maybe I'm stuck in the loop because I think the other way around? No, not necessarily......

Damn, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't work, besides, even if you go out, you will fall into the same strange circle, maybe it will be because of self-abandonment that you decided to go out before you will fall into the strange circle again.

The more he thought about it, the more conflicted he felt, he had a lot of ideas in his head now, but he couldn't think of any reason why his previous self might not choose.

He even began to suspect that all his thoughts were now before the cycle.

Wait, why should I bother with the loop? Wouldn't I just have to leave a note in the ring to remind myself?

He immediately began rummaging through his ring, trying to find a pen and paper inside.

............

A few minutes later, Ernacillin took a stack of papers that had been turned out of the ring, with a helpless expression of "sure enough", the only surprise was that there were many more papers than he thought.

He was sure that until he went out again, all his thoughts, words and deeds had been before the cycle, after all, his fixed way of thinking was like that, and it would be difficult for him to jump out of this cycle no matter how much he jumped.

Thinking of this, Eneracillin calmed down and began to read the contents of the paper:

First of all, this note was written at 19:25 on May 23, and every time I saw it, I had to write down the time at the end of the note. ”

Seeing this, Enaxiline immediately took out his pocket watch, and with his other hand turned the note to the end, and the last one read:

May 26, 9:49 (Remember to wake up other people and eat, drink, drink and drink, don't change into wetsuits, don't let the wounds on the left shoulder, lower back, and flank heal completely, this is the clue.) )

Enacyrin was extremely stunned, and hurriedly wrote down the time now displayed on the pocket watch: 13:01 on May 26.

He counted up, and this was his thirteenth record.

He flipped back to the front and looked at what he wanted to leave behind:

"I think you've made a note of the time, so keep in mind that in my case, my teammates were confused by the illusion, and only I was awake, and a humanoid monster flashed, and I nailed it to the ground with an ice blade, and it began to wail, and then a large number of humanoid monsters appeared around and tried to attack me, and I used the ice blade with the whirlwind to solve most of it, and they began to fear me.

I had a number of stab wounds from Lux, the most severe of which was a penetrating wound in the lower back, a corrosive wound from Lea on my left shoulder, and a superficial wound on my flank from Miyette's water blade.

The choice is to wake up the teammates who were confused by the illusion, recover all injuries without changing the wetsuit and go out, and then look at the record for the next time period. ”

"This is the second time period, and my injury experience is exactly the same as before, except for the one pinned by the ice blade, the other monsters did not attack me, but just looked at me vigilantly and hatefully. I chose not to change my wetsuit and not wake up my teammates to go out alone, and then read the record. ”

"In the third period, the injuries were exactly the same, the experience was different. First of all, the previous 'Upside Down Studio' collapsed, and my teammates were probably forced to wake up and fall directly into the illusion, in short, the above process was repeated again, and my choice was the same as the first time, except that I was not completely healed in order to leave a clue, and I was already able to roughly anticipate some of the attacks. ”

............

"In the eleventh time period, seeing this, it seems that all the choices have been made. My mind and body were able to dodge those attacks subconsciously, but I would still deliberately keep the wound from healing, leaving a clue to the existence of the note.

My next choice will be the same as the previous one, I'll try to make a big deal of damage in the outside world. ”

Seeing this, Eneracillin has begun to doubt whether he can get out of this endless cycle, and it seems that all paths are completely blocked.

He touched the black and red goat skull on his neck, he may have to consider borrowing the power of the gods, it doesn't matter what the follow-up price is, the important thing is to break this cycle immediately, it can't be recycled anymore, the food will run out sooner or later, and there is only one set of spare diving suits in addition to the one on his body.

But the rest of the record made him completely dismiss this idea, and even felt the despair that he had been feeling before.
