"Nice taste. ”

When the voice fell, the dark blue flame in Lin Zhi's eyes shook violently.

He was so invincible that his physical fitness was too high to explain with common sense, so the moment he began to repeat the events that had happened, his body instinctively resisted, and the raging mana forcibly tore a crack in the "time loop".

"I see. ”

Lin Zhi stood at the end of the town street again, and came to the second before the time loop began.

Around him, everyone and everything maintains their own purpose of action, and they are completely unaware of his tearing "time loop".

After breaking out of the time loop, the so-called "aging" effect of the aging city no longer exists.

He can be said to have become the same existence as the original inhabitants of the aging city!

Lin Zhi looked down at the little bone standing beside him, who was not interested in the aging city at all, and the blue fire in his eyes surged, and he imposed a curse on the little guy that "cannot be affected by the state".

Dada?

Bone raised its head, and it could feel the rake's magic acting on itself, but it didn't know what kind of curse it was, and what effect it had.

However, after the rake's mana wrapped itself in it, it suddenly became interested and walked towards a place on the side of the road where the "Mercenary Guild" was hung.

There, quite a few people came out with a bounty slip printed with a special pattern, and it showed a lot of interest in the kind of paper.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the aging city makes living things pass time is because of the effect of time loops. ”

Looking at the little bones that became lively and active little by little, Lin Zhi stayed where he was and thought slowly.

It wasn't until now that he realized that Little Bones had behaved abnormally along the way.

Terrans or other races in a time loop will double their time with each cycle.

If the same thing is repeated ten times, then they will consume ten times as much time, thus showing an intuitive "aging" in appearance.

They had no way of perceiving the time loop, so after leaving the Aging City, they just felt that they had only gone in once, and they had grown old several times longer.

If you stay in it for a year, then getting out of the aging city is equivalent to a year that is a multiple of the number of time loops!

This is also the reason for the anomalous behavior of the small bones, which are stuck in a time loop for no knowing when.

Although the Immortal Bone Clan is not old, and the little bones cannot perceive that they are stuck in a time loop, after experiencing the same thing several times, subconsciously, they will naturally show a lack of interest.

The section of the road from the fruit stall to the end of the main road of the aging city, for Lin Zhi, the node of the time loop has just begun, but for the little bone who doesn't know which one the time node is, it has been unconsciously looped several times or even a dozen times!

"In other words, the time node when everyone enters the city to start the cycle and end the cycle is not the same, so what are the conditions that trigger the cycle?"

"And, more importantly, ......"

After perceiving the reason for the "aging" of the aging city, Lin Zhi was not only happy after knowing the truth, but the curiosity in his heart became stronger.

There's even a little bit of excitement.

"This phenomenon of time looping can actually block the perception of my cursed aura!"

Lin Zhi gathered his spirit and began to look for the "source" that trapped him in the loop of time.

In the case of entering the city without any conditions, maybe this "source" can evade his perception, but once he is stuck in a time loop, there is a cause and effect between each other, and it is relatively easy to find it through a curse.

Soon, Lin Zhi sensed the "source" of the time loop imposed on him.

It was a loop that was spliced together end to end.

The shape of this ring looks very different from a normal ring, it looks like a paper tape loop that twists a strip of paper 180 degrees and then glues the two ends together.

Such a weak circle of paper ribbon floats and floats in the breath of mana, seemingly fragile, but every time it can be invisibly offset with targeted mana.

The dark blue flame in Lin Zhi's eyes jumped.

He was very impressed by this shape of ring, and when he was on Earth, he studied this kind of ring specifically.

This ring that creates the time loop of the aging city is the very famous "Möbius Ring"!

Ordinary paper tape loops have two sides, namely front and back, but this kind of twisted and overlapping paper tape loops only have one side of the curved surface.

As a simple example, an ant crawls on a regular paper ring, either on the inside of the ring or on the outside of the ring.

On the twisted Möbius ring, you can climb both sides of the paper at once without touching the edge of the ring!

Lin Zhi sensed a ring similar to a Möbius ring on the cursed aura, and with the appearance of this shape, the principle of the time loop in the Aging City naturally surfaced.

There are countless time nodes on this ring, and as long as people from outside enter the city, they will crawl on the 180-degree distorted time paper like "ants".

After being in the city for a while, as long as the note is attached to the front and back, the timeline on this person's body will form a "Möbius loop", which is constantly in a loop.

In the same way, as long as this ring is disconnected and the circulation effect is lifted, people can naturally leave the town safely and soundly!

"What an interesting creature. ”

Lin Zhi gave such a definition of the source of the time loop.

That's right, judging from the information fed back by the cursed breath, there are indeed signs of life in this ring!

"So, it's time to come out for me, right?" Lin Zhi muttered to himself.

Airplanes!

The calm aura of the curse suddenly became turbulent and majestic, striking at the ring-shaped creature, sending out circles of invisible ripples.

"Huh?"

To Lin Zhi's surprise, even so, the direction of the ring-shaped creature could not be accurately locked.

It seems to exist in the city of aging, but it does not exist in the city of aging, and it seems to be in between.

It can be perceived, but it cannot be found.

Lin Zhi's invincible curse aura, for the first time, met an opponent who didn't work!
