Chapter 30: The Endless Cycle

The pain was worse than the onset of the disease, and I felt like my head was going to explode one moment, and the next I felt like there were tens of thousands of man-eating ants in my head. I screamed and fell to the ground, holding my head and groaning, the other people's expressions of concern twisted and swirled in my eyes, turning into pixels...... The tsunami-like pain became more intense than a while, and I gritted my teeth and pinched my wrist, and there were only six words left in my mind: just hold on!

But the storm had not completely subsided, and I suddenly felt the mosquito-bitten bags on my thighs and arms burning hot. I endured the pain and glanced at it, and saw that there was not a single intact place on my body, and the places that had been bitten by mosquitoes were swollen with bags as big as Wangzai's small steamed buns.

In a trance, I caught a glimpse of Wang Linshuo smearing ointment on my legs, and Wang Zhen holding a dagger and roasting on a lighter. I was dying of pain, and I no longer had the strength to ask them what they were doing, and I closed my eyes weakly to rest, but my mind became less and less clear.

In the midst of the chaos of darkness, I heard a voice calling out to me. I had no strength in my body, and my spirit was lazy, and I didn't want to open my eyes, but the voice kept raising the volume, louder than louder, and it was annoying enough, so I had to open my eyes impatiently, and Uncle Lu's stubble face was shaking in front of my eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You finally woke up, I called you no less than a few hundred times, do you know?" ”

I nodded weakly, seeing that it was dark and it was evening, I struggled to sit up but didn't see anyone but him, only my and Uncle Lu's backpacks at hand. I looked around and wondered, "Where did they go?" ”

Uncle Lu continued to pack up as if he didn't hear me, I cleared my throat, raised my voice and said loudly, "Hey, don't be busy." What did the others do? ”

He then raised his head and looked directly at me, his eyes full of confusion and confusion. He twisted his neck and looked around, and asked in an extremely puzzled tone, "What did you say?" Where are the others, haven't we been together all the time? ”

I snorted and said impatiently, "Don't joke with me, I'm not in the mood, say it quickly." ”

Uncle Lu threw the things in his hand on the ground, walked over and glanced at me worriedly, "You can't be burned, right?" Do you think I usually like to joke? Before his words landed, his tone suddenly changed, and he suddenly said with a sigh of enlightenment, "I know who you are talking about, are you looking for the guide Katsuko?" ”

Although I felt extremely strange, I still nodded and asked along with his words, wondering in my heart, this Uncle Lu can't be a fake, right? He nodded, and said with a mysterious smile, "He...... Didn't I kill you? ”

My ears were buzzing, my eyes widened to the point of distraction, I stared at the expressionless person in front of me dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "You...... Killed Katsuko? ”

He turned his back and said no more. I thought to myself that this must be a ridiculous nightmare, and I raised my hand to pinch myself, but until my wrist was red and swollen, 'Uncle Lu' was still standing in front of me. I became impatient, and said to myself, since this guy is a bastard six-eared macaque, then I might as well go up and teach him a lesson. I stood up lightly, clenched my fist, took a deep breath and slammed it into the back of his neck.

As if expecting me to do this, he quickly turned around and dodged, stepped forward to bypass my fists and legs, grabbed my wrists, and twisted them hard. I was still a little weak, and the sharp pain in my wrist made me want to fall. I struggled, kicking and kicking my legs, but I couldn't break free from his big pincer-like hands. My other hand reached up to my waist to touch the weapon, but it was empty.

I was angry and anxious, and I was about to use the yin trick that I usually disdain, but there was a dull pain in the back of my head. All the strength of my body was drained away at once, my eyes were dark, and I slipped to the ground unwillingly, and the last thing I saw was Uncle Lu's unintentional smile.

I don't know how long it took for me to open my eyes again, and Uncle Lu's back came into view again. My heart was on fire, and I said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

He turned around and said expressionlessly, "You don't even know me anymore?" ”

I didn't have the heart to go around the bend with him, I just wanted to confirm whether he was the real Uncle Lu, and I forced my anger and said straight to the point: "Did you kill Shengzi?" ”

He turned his face away and said nothing. I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart any longer, and I jumped up and slammed at him, only to be knocked to the ground by him again. The moment I fainted, a thought popped into my head: if I could return to the real world, I must learn kung fu.

I don't know if it's a dream or a hallucination, but counting the first two times, I've traveled through the space-time tunnel five times. The first three times, I said a few words to the fake Uncle Lu and greeted him with my fist, but the last two times I simply ignored him and lay in a daze.

I looked at Uncle Lu's back and thought sadly, who did I recruit and provoke whom, how could I be trapped in this endless disgusting cycle? I tried to ask Uncle Lu about the general controller, and he always whispered the number I was familiar with after a long silence.

When I woke up again to see this extremely familiar and unfamiliar back, I almost broke down, and yelled like a madman, "Why am I trapped in this loop!" ”

Fake Uncle Lu is no longer 'reserved', and suddenly turned his head, and there was a strange color in his eyes. He stopped what he was doing and stared at me and said, "Have you ever thought about how to escape?" ”

I shook my head dejectedly and lamented, "If I could know how to get out, I would still be here to talk nonsense to you idiot?"

He smiled mysteriously, and abruptly changed the subject: "Do you remember that the chief controller said that it can give you a chilling experience and also bring you what you want?" ”

I was still thinking about this sentence just now, and as soon as I heard him say it, my ears immediately pricked up, and I put down my crossed legs and struggled to struggle, and said with a blazing eye: "How much do you know?" ”

He shook his head indifferently: "If I knew, I wouldn't have to play in the sand here." All I know is that if you can break free, you'll get what you want, or we'll both die of hunger here. ”

The last few words of his sentence seemed to remind my throat and stomach, and the two of them suddenly protested together, and I was so hot that I couldn't help it. I scrambled to my feet, stood up beside him and asked, "I remember that as soon as I lost consciousness, this cycle was over." Why don't you say hello to me in the head? ”

He gave me a blank look and said contemptuously, "What is the difference between me knocking you out and the previous times?" In the end, it wasn't you who opened your eyes again and saw my back. ”

I patted my head in frustration, my brain racing, going through every detail of the cycles, but I still didn't find any clues. The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, my heart won't be trapped here for the rest of my life, right? I pinched my thighs hard to wake me up from my absurd dream, but to no avail, in exchange for the sneer of the fake Uncle Lu.

I sat down on the ground and sighed, my brain still racing. He accosted me and said, "Guess what the controller says everybody wants?" ”

I shook my head and said listlessly, "Who knows, could it be Doraemon's treasure bag?" ”

He chuckled and said, "People can have what they want, and you don't believe you have anything if you want anything." ”

I was a little annoyed, and was about to refute him, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I seemed to hear some clues from what he had just said. Although I still didn't believe that this method would work, I was already desperate, so I suddenly stood up with the mentality of giving it a try, and hurriedly pushed him and said, "Give me a slap quickly." ”

He raised his eyebrows disapprenously: "What comes to mind?" ”

I didn't have the heart to answer, so I grabbed his arm and hurriedly urged: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ”

He made a helpless expression and slammed his palm at the back of my head. I closed my eyes and kept thinking in my heart: I will definitely be able to return to the real world, and the real world is right in front of my eyes......

In a trance, I woke up again. But this time I was a little afraid to open my eyes, for fear that the lonely back would come into my eyes again. I was anxious and flustered, took a deep breath and was about to open my eyes to be judged, but I heard a voice in my ear sighing: "Why hasn't Zhang Xuan woken up yet......"
