Chapter 268: Progress
The time loop ended again, and the four of them, who had no clue, returned to Xu Mu's house, ready to sleep well and recuperate before observing again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ After all, I only slept for four or five hours yesterday, and then I followed Xu Mu from twelve o'clock in the afternoon until one fifty-three in the evening.
The most helpless thing is that no useful information has been obtained.
I don't know how long I slept, Su Hang woke him up, he opened his eyes and saw Xu Mu.
"Hey, let's do it, let's do it?" Xu Mu bit his lower lip and smiled, "They are all asleep." β
"I wanted to fall asleep too, but I was woken up......," Su Hang frowned, "What time is it?" β
"It's past eleven o'clock, you've slept for six hours, ......come on, come on," Xu Mu said with a smile, pulling Su Hang and walking out, Su Hang wiped his face helplessly: "Where are you going?" β
"Oh, I can't help but scream to wake them up, go upstairs to the rooftop, right?" Xu Mu said with a hippie smile, and then pressed Su Hang against the wall and stretched out his hand to support him.
"Huh? Am I being knocked on by the wall? Was wall-knocked by a child who was nearly ten years younger than himself? Su Hang was stunned for a while.
"So, didn't I say that...... You can't lift it. Xu Mu's expression darkened in an instant, "This is a curse, I will always be trapped in this place......" As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Su Hang and smiled: "Stay with me, right?" We can do this every day, and I will work with you the way you like, any way you want! β
"Tsk, don't be stupid." Su Hang shook his head, "Even if that's the case, one day you will get tired of it." β
"Then I'll kill myself......" Xu Mu said through gritted teeth, and then smiled a little crazy: "Stay with me before I commit suicide, right?" We do what we want every day, okay? After I kill myself, you can leave from here! β
"You seem to be out of control." Su Hang grinned, "But it's not strange." β
When he said this, Su Hang suddenly thought of something, he turned to Xu Mu and asked, "So, you mean that you haven't tried to commit suicide for so long, right?" β
"yes, I don't know if this cycle will end when I'm dead." As he spoke, Xu Mu squinted his eyes and looked at Su Hang and smiled, "Do you want to try it?" Kill me...... To be honest, I was a little scared, so I didn't dare to kill myself. β
Su Hang pondered for a while, but didn't make a move, but grabbed the girl's shoulders and pushed her downstairs, "It's too early to give up, it's only the first day." β
"Huh? Don't do it? Xu Mu's hand was very dishonest and caressed under him, but Su Hang sighed and flicked on her head, "Let me sleep well, recuperate my spirits, and ...... tonight."
"Do it tonight? Where is it? Xu Muxing asked angrily, Su Hang gave her an angry look, "I must figure out the events that end this time loop tonight, I already have a clue." β
"Got a little clue? What's the clue? Xu Mu asked curiously, sticking to Su Hang's body.
"I'll tell you when I wake up, and I'll order some fried chicken burgers for me, which will also consume a lot of calories today." As he spoke, Su Hang walked downstairs while stretching his waist, and then returned to Xu Mu's house, climbed onto the sofa and rolled up the quilt to wrap his body and was about to sleep for a while, but at this time, someone suddenly grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
Su Hang rubbed his eyes, looked at it, and found that it was Luo Qisui, he muttered sleepily: "What are you doing?" β
"I saw that you went out with Xu Mu, are you ......" Luo Qisui asked through gritted teeth, "...... to her"
"Alright." Su Hang slapped Luo Qisui's hand away a little angrily, "I didn't end it so quickly, how can it take an hour if you count the eve?" How could it be possible to come back so soon. β
Luo Qisui's face suddenly turned red, and Su Hang turned over on the sofa and muttered: "But that little girl's psychological state is not very good, and she has already shown suicidal tendencies." So if you're really trying to do it for her good, why don't you think about how you can break the cycle, or tell us what you know but didn't tell us? β
Luo Qisui quieted down, and Su Hang was also very sleepy, ignored her, and continued to sleep.
When you wake up, or the reason for waking up, is the aroma of fried chicken and burgers.
"Have you seen it anywhere else?" Su Hang ate French fries and said, "I mean, when you followed Xu Mu, did you go to the surrounding places and see it?" I think we need to fundamentally understand the reason for the formation of this time loop. That is, why does this time loop end at this point in time, and ...... Why does it cover such a large area? β
"And what are you going to do?" Luo Qisui frowned, Su Hang turned to Xu Mu and said, "In short, Luo Qisui today, you should follow this little girl, report her situation, what she is doing at a certain point in time, and then the three of us will take Xu Mu as the center of the circle and expand the scope of observation." Something else must have happened in a place we weren't paying attention to. β
"Well, I think it's a good idea." Ning Yu nodded and said, "Anyway, since the time loop has appeared, there must be a way to lift it, it is impossible to force us to try one event by one, if that is the case, after the level is high, wouldn't every agent have to stay in the cycle for months or even years before the event can be lifted?" β
"Tsk, don't we have a senior agent? Just ask her. Is this the case with high-level time loops? Locke-sister-? Su Hang asked Luo Qisui in a lengthened tone.
Luo Qisui frowned slightly: "It's true that as you said, there is a simple way to dissolve each time loop, but most of the time the agent has to rely on luck to figure it out." So...... The average lifting time of the advanced time loop has indeed reached two months, and there are not a few cases of being trapped inside, and in the end, you can only escape by relying on the time rift. β
"It's really ......," Su Hang frowned and thought secretly, "The risk is still very high, although the rewards are indeed rich." β
Jing Hong asked at this time: "Then, why don't you continue to do low-level tasks?" Significantly safer and more efficient, right? A three-star bounty can do forty or fifty time rifts or something like that......"
"Naive," Luo Qisui pouted, "If that's the case, why wouldn't your time stream be enough?" And what is the purpose of the existence of such a thing as agent rank? Didn't you notice that as your abilities level up, so does the amount of time it consumes? If you only improve your ability and don't increase the difficulty of the task, the end result will be more than you can make ends meet. β
Jing Hong pursed his lips, and a trace of panic clearly flashed on his face.
"Only when the level of the agent increases, the difficulty of the task increases, and the rewards of the time rift will also increase, can you barely maintain the cost of your daily time flow, not to mention the sands of time." Luo Qisui crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "If your Sands of Time runs out, you will be at a disadvantage in terms of innate conditions when facing an enemy who can use the Sands of Time's abilities. β
Jing Hong nodded nervously, Luo Qisui's expression eased slightly, and he held his cheeks and ate French fries and reminded: "The competition in the profession of agent is far more stringent than you think, and if you don't want to make progress, you will soon be eliminated." β
Speaking of this, Luo Qisui squinted at Su Hang and whispered, "You know this very well, don't you?" β
"yes." Su Hang replied lightly, "But in short, let's focus on the matter of lifting the time loop, this is the map of this time loop." β
As he spoke, Su Hang showed the mobile phone map to everyone, and then drew a triangle on it: "Luo Qisui, you follow Xu Mu, once something happens around, we will ask Xu Mu what he did at that time." And the three of us followed Xu Mu's side at the three points of this triangle, at a distance of about 100 meters, to observe the situation. β
Everyone nodded, and Su Hang said solemnly: "Once something happens, it must be recorded immediately." In a time loop as short as a day, any event may be related to the main story. In short, let's not be in a hurry, and move forward step by step one step a day. Today's task is to record all the events around you. β
"Huh? I want to be with you. Xu Mu complained, "It's boring to go to school again." β
"Do you still want to go out? If you want to go out, you will be honest and obedient. Su Hang replied angrily, "Start moving." β
However, the timing of Xu Mu's time loop in this world is actually very troublesome, and its cycle is from half past seven in the morning to one hundred and fifty-three in the morning, that is, less than nineteen hours.
It was really hard work for Su Airlines and their agents to follow the whole process, so they decided to spend two days to completely determine the various events in the entire time loop.
In fact, Su Hang knows very well that the key lies in the two points of the beginning of the event and the end of the event.
"Well, I'm starting to be a stalker again." Su Hang stood on the top of the building and sighed. It's just that this time the tracking distance is very far, and Xu Mu is not in his sight most of the time, just according to the mobile phone to determine Xu Mu's location, and then move with it.
"Pay more attention to Xu Mu's classmates, since it is centered on her, most of the incidents are related to her classmates." Su Hang pressed on his phone. Then I continued to keep an eye on the situation nearby, but there was no progress.
There have been incidents, such as a traffic accident two blocks next door to the school, but it was a trivial incident in which a student on a bicycle and a housewife on a battery bike collided. However, Su Hang still recorded these events one by one just in case, and soon it was getting dark, and they followed to KTV.
"Will it really work?" Jing Hong thought to himself in his voice, "What if we are trapped here for months and finally find nothing...... We still don't have a clue, and we don't ......have any direction at all."
"You're annoying." Su Hang interrupted his self-talk impatiently, "Didn't you decide to take a risk?" Gambling is such a thing, there are times when you win a bet, there is a time when you lose a bet, do you want to get rich overnight when you gamble for the first time? β
"But...... I don't want to get rich overnight so exaggerated, as long as I can make a small profit, I won't be so unlucky......" Jing Hong said, continuing to think about it in pieces, Su Hang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and Ning Yu obviously didn't want to deal with him.
"Ah Hang, it's one o'clock in the evening again." Ning Yu reminded, "Although some events have been collected today, they are ......"
"Wait." Su Hang interrupted Ning Yu, because at this time he noticed that a girl ran out of the KTV, it seemed to be a girl in Xu Mu's class. After all, most of the high school students in this KTV today are from their class.
Seeing this, Su Hang immediately followed, at this time the other students were in the private room of KTV, and she was the only one who ran out, could it be that what happened? After all, the students in the KTV are playing games like Truth or Dare, and some students are not in a good mood when the report card comes out today, maybe they feel humiliated or something?
Before landing, Su Hang slowed down to stabilize his body, and then followed behind the girl.
After a little observation, Su Hang didn't feel like it. This girl looks pretty good, very quiet and delicate, at first glance she is the kind of good girl in the class who loves to learn and abide by the rules, plus she doesn't look bad, she doesn't cry but looks a little anxious, she should just be in a hurry to go home, after all, it's so late.
However, just when Su Hang stopped to watch, a boy chased after him from behind and grabbed the girl's hand: "Quietly!" Don't go, listen to me! β
"Don't talk about it! I don't want to hear it! The girl, named Jingjing, said angrily, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have stayed here so late!" And you...... You're actually ...... I want to do that nasty thing! β
"Tsk, little ghosts, boring ......" Su Hang rolled his eyes, but he was going to observe, so he pretended to be a passerby passing by them, and then hid in the dark and continued to watch.
"I'm not...... You know me, I'm not that kind of person! The boy quibbled, "It's just...... The college entrance examination is coming up next year, and we will be admitted to different schools...... You're so beautiful again, and finally ...... It's going to dump me with someone else. I'm just very insecure, so ...... I feel like as long as I can possess you, you will continue to stay with me. β
"Tsk, bullshit lies, the sperm worm just said it in the brain, and there are so many excuses." Su Hang thought uncuriously.
But after all, both parties are high school students, and the girl seems to be in love for the first time, and her heart softens all of a sudden.
"I ...... I believe you. Jing Jing hesitated and said, "However, we are too young to do such a thing." β
Then the two of them talked nonsense, and the book in the dark listened impatiently, because the conversation was so childish, the boy begged the girl not to break up, and the girl named Jingjing persuaded him to study hard and still be in a school after that, and it was not too late or something. The two sides complained for a while, and then you and I got up.
In order to comfort the boy, the girl named Jingjing kissed the boy, and the two of them were fine.
"It's so naΓ―ve, if it weren't for the fact that I went out, I wouldn't be able to stand it." Su Hang complained on the side, "Was I so naΓ―ve when I was a child? β
However, then the boy continued: "Then you are not angry? Let's go back to the private room, after all, everyone hasn't left, so it's not good for the two of us to leave. If you don't fit in like this, you won't be able to make friends. β
The girl hesitated for a moment, obviously reluctantly, but followed the boy back.
"What are you doing...... Su Hang pursed his lips unhappily and thought secretly, "It's just a waste of my time." β
watched such a childish farce, and in the end got nothing, it was a big loss.
Su Hang sighed, the lack of progress in the past two days made him upset for a while, plus it happened to be a supermarket on the side, so he couldn't hold back his addiction to cigarettes for a while, and smoked on the side of the road. Looking down at the time, one forty.
"Are you going to get nothing today?" Su Hang thought with some annoyance, and before he knew it, there were already several cigarette butts under his feet.
However, at this time, the girl named Jingjing suddenly rushed out of the KTV again, this time she was crying, obviously what happened in the KTV in the past twenty minutes, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
The girl, named Jingjing, ran all the way out, and no one followed her.
Seeing this, Su Hang was a little curious, and only returned to the private room with his boyfriend lovingly half an hour ago, and ran out crying half an hour later, but his boyfriend had not chased him out. Something must have happened, right?
Su Hang immediately followed behind the girl named Jingjing, I have to say that this kid ran too slowly, after all, crying while running, Su Hang didn't even need to use his ability to catch up with her quickly. The other party didn't notice him, and ran forward on his own, and then, the end time came so quickly and so suddenly, and in the next blink of an eye, the time loop was reset.
Su Hang returned to the starting position of the time loop, and Ning Yu and the three of them were also by his side.
"Hehe......" Although the time loop was over again, a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of Su Hang's mouth.
"There is progress...... Su Hang gritted his teeth and smiled, turning to Jing Hong, Ning Yu and Luo Qisui, "I found the end point of the time loop!" That cursed event! β
That's right, just when the time was about to end, Su Hang saw that when the girl named Jingjing was crossing the street, a freight truck came speeding up. Although the time loop was over before he hit the girl, he was sure that the girl named Jingjing would never survive the impact of the truck.
In addition, the girl suddenly ran out crying after returning to KTV, something must have happened in those twenty minutes, as long as you follow this event backwards, you will definitely be able to find the correct domino node.
He believes that the meaning of this time loop must be to save the girl, otherwise the time loop cannot end just before the truck is about to hit the girl.
