Chapter 44: The Eternal Vortex

"Actually, I don't think it's reasonable to set the Ghost Graphic Club as the second stop......" Luo Yasen suddenly turned off the car and did some analysis, "Have you forgotten?" At this time, the Graphic Society will not be open. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info You just said that the membership card of the Internet café needs to take time, so put it in the back, in fact, it is not necessary at all, time-consuming things, whether you do it first or later, the time required in the end is the same, this time is always to be spent, why put it at the end? ”

"Makes sense." Shi Yuan said.

"Also, the location of Huitian Hospital corresponds to Xin Xuecheng, which is the most special one of all items, because he is a human being, which also determines that we can't run with him all the time like other things, so Huitian Hospital should be the last stop."

"You're right, I was negligent, I was in too much of a hurry just now."

"No repetition, no turning back, this is our most basic principle, but this simply can't be done."

Shi Yuan didn't speak, he carefully looked at the simplified version of the map of Gravel Town that he had just drawn in his hand, countless plans appeared in his mind and disappeared, and finally, he sighed and whispered: "Indeed, no matter how you design, it is impossible not to go back, we are destined to spend a lot of time on the road." This shows that compared to the last time, we may only save six hours of sleeping while waiting for the agency to open. ”

"Six hours, that's not a short time, you must know that the last time we were only a few minutes away."

"Is it really just a few minutes?" Shi Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The last item, even if we are given a few hours, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it down, right?" ”

Luo Yasen was silent. Indeed, the real reason why the last item was not obtained was not time, but the ghost with a pale face and eyes like black holes. This time, even if he didn't agree to Gu Xinfeng's plea, there was no guarantee that the ghost wouldn't follow him in secret.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Tu Xue'er said sleepily.

"Cher, you remember, all you need to do is follow us and never leave half a step. Did you hear that? Shi Yuan said solemnly.

"yes, okay."

"Also, give you a task, any time, anyone asks me or Luo Yasen to promise anything, you have to remind us in time, don't let us promise anyone anything, can you do it?"

Shi Yuan's idea is that no matter how careful he is, he can't guarantee that there will be no negligence within twenty-four hours. Although Tu Xue'er is young, one more person thinking about this matter is always an extra guarantee.

"Well, it can be done." Tu Xueer said.

"Okay. So, the next stop is tentatively set as the Magic Internet Cafe, if it doesn't work, you can only start all over again. ”

The route of the action was thus changed, and the new route was completely different from the order of the items in the original text message and the instructions on the electronic map. Will this be successful? Shi Yuan didn't have an answer in his heart, but he now had the courage and capital to try.

The change of route also decided that Gu Xinfeng and the five of them would basically not encounter them again except for the entrance of the pharmacy at the beginning, but this did not mean that they could escape the fate of death.

The membership card of the Magic Internet Café was finally obtained after two hours.

The opportunity to try again did make Shi Yuan and Luo Yasen relax a lot, but they didn't forget to pay attention to everything around them. The ghost with eyes like a black hole kept coming to their minds, and even if they didn't see it, the two of them were always on guard around them.

A chance to try it repeatedly? Doesn't that sound too good?

Shi Yuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, did not idle for a moment in his mind.

But what does that mean? If you fail a mission, you can do it all over again, but what if you keep failing? Although it seems that it is easy to find all the items by learning from the previous experience, are there any hidden rules in this? The last time we went to the last step, the membership card was controlled by the ghost, who could have easily killed us, but just chose to take the membership card, what does that mean? Of course, there is a possibility of failure all the time, right? If that's the case, will my life be stuck in this day forever? No, it's just optimistic speculation, will that ghost kill us? Will it go with everything around it? Does he have a memory of the last time? Will it always follow us? Was his move to snatch the membership card just random or ...... Just acting on the orders of some force? If so, whose order? What's behind all these weird events?

There are more and more question marks in his mind, piling up, making Shi Yuan almost suffocated. The more he thought about it, the more he felt breathless. He forced himself to calm down and shook his head vigorously, trying not to overthink it.

But the human brain is so out of one's control.

Shi Yuan did suppress most of the thinking content, but the extremely suppressed haze always lingered.

If you keep failing, you will fall into an eternal whirlpool, from which you cannot escape or get out.

But what about thinking about it from a different angle? Anyway, I can't complete the mission, so why don't I look for those things, and live in this gravel town like nothing? If you don't look for it, the task will inevitably fail, and what if the cycle repeats itself for 24 hours?

Shi Yuan smiled bitterly, he felt that he was purely deceiving himself by thinking so. There is no such thing as such a good thing in the world.

According to the route just discussed with Luo Yasen, the next stop after the Internet café is the path in the northeast corner of Gravel Town, where they will meet Tian Su.

The car was driving on a nearly uninhabited road, and the current time was only half past three in the morning, and no normal salesperson would start handing out flyers on the side of the road at such a time.

Normal.

Tian Su obviously does not fall into this category.

Shi Yuan glanced back at Tu Xue'er behind him from time to time, and even though they were now in the same space, he was still worried that something would go wrong. Thankfully, at least until we reached the trail in the northeast corner, there weren't any surprises.

At 3:40 a.m., Royasen's car stopped beside an uninhabited side road.

On the dark and bleak streets, dust, confetti, and plastic bags blown by the wind frantically invade people's sight, setting off the whistling wind, dancing fiercely. Looking at the jagged broken walls, the open space on both sides is surprisingly wide.
