At the moment when the second hand coincides with the hour hand, the world, which was already extremely silent, instantly falls into a deaf dead silence. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info disappeared at the same time, as well as everything around it.

The soul-hypnotic bell rang again.

Shi Yuan's eyes widened, and although he had been prepared, his indescribable surprise still almost rushed out.

How can it be?

Shi Yuan's heart still didn't hold back, and he shouted out this sentence silently.

All the items, not one bad, all found, why still fail? What is the reason exactly? Because the patient didn't wake up? Because you're looking for the wrong item? Or ...... Violation of the principle of "Gibu-no"?

Luo Yasen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was also surprised, but compared with Shi Yuan, the shock in his heart was still a little lighter. After the first second of blank in his brain, he immediately began to analyze.

It's been so smooth, this journey. Matters related to life, too smooth, will inevitably make people suspicious. However, it was unbelievable that the mission had failed, and Royasen thought that they had done everything that the mission required.

In the end, what's the difference?

The trajectory of time would not be halted by their shock, and like the previous two times, Tu Xue'er's voice sounded again.

"Ah, Brother Shi Yuan, what is the voice?"

Tu Xue'er's voice would no longer bring Shi Yuan a feeling of surprise. Shi Yuan turned his head to look at her, sighed, and said, "Xue'er, this time we have a very important task to complete in Gravel Town, and this process may be very difficult......

Then, Shi Yuan explained to Tu Xue'er what he had explained last time, Tu Xue'er slept in a daze, and what she promised was also in a daze.

"Let's go, go to Xinyao Pharmacy." Shi Yuan said.

The three got out of the car and walked towards the pharmacy. As they walked to the door, they saw again the shift workers coming out of the pharmacy one by one.

"Huh?" Shi Yuan suddenly stopped, "That's not right." ”

"What's wrong?" Luo Yasen did not ignore Shi Yuan's reaction. He followed Shi Yuan's line of sight and saw the pharmacy staff who came out one by one.

Wait, one by one? Why not three, three, two, two? Colleagues in the same pharmacy, even if they are not all friends, should have a few good ones, right? How can it be as emotionless as a cold robot?

Luo Yasen looked at those who had no communication with each other and walked out one by one, and had some doubts in his heart.

"Are you saying these people don't communicate with each other?" Luo Yasen asked Shi Yuan.

"No, it's the wrong amount."

"Quantity?" Luo Yasen was slightly surprised, at this time, a few people had already walked away, for Luo Yasen, who didn't pay attention to the number of people just now, it was already a little difficult to recall the number of people who went out.

"That's right, two people less." Shi Yuan said.

"I guess I went first." Royasen said.

"No, today is not a new day, it's a twenty-four-hour cycle. The people in the pharmacy, how they came out yesterday, how they should get out today, whether the speed of walking, whether there is communication, whether there is any number, there should be no change. On the first day, I noticed the number of staff at the pharmacy, a full eight people, and I said at the time that it was a bit too many for such a small pharmacy, and I would never remember this mistakenly. ”

"Six now?" Royassin asked.

"Yes. It took us less time to get out of the car and get here again than it did yesterday, so how could we miss two of them? There is no mistake that the number of pharmacy clerks has indeed changed. ”

"Does that mean anything?" Although Luo Yasen was asking Shi Yuan, he himself did not have the intention of completely relying on Shi Yuan to think about the problem, and his brain was also running rapidly.

"When we arrived yesterday, we didn't pay attention to the number of people. The day before yesterday it was eight, and now it is six, I think, this should be a kind of decreasing number of people, one less person a day, like a countdown......" Shi Yuan said, his voice gradually lowered, he couldn't even believe the result he had speculated.

Countdown, countdown again! At first, the two thought that 24 hours was a countdown, but then they were given the opportunity to repeat the day. Now that the number of staff at the first location of the mission has changed, is this time really some kind of countdown, or is it just a pure meaningless coincidence?

Shi Yuan shook his head. Pointless? Such a concept would not exist in such a particular situation as it is now.

It is not a meaningless coincidence, then it must be an intentional setting. Whose setting is it?

Shi Yuan suddenly felt like a character in the game, his fate was not in his hands at all, if he kept pulling the perspective up from where he was, there would be a moment when he would pull a huge face, and the two pupils on that face looked at these tired characters through the screen, operating the keyboard and mouse in the dark cabin, deciding his fate.

Me, do I really exist? Am I a real person? Is everything happening now a reality, or is it just a game?

Shi Yuan suddenly had deep doubts about his existence, and at that moment he was deeply trapped in the haze in his heart, and it was Luo Yasen who rescued him from the haze.

"Shi Yuan, don't think too much about it first. We need to prepare for the worst, but we also need to do our best. If we think too much about the bad outcome, it will inevitably kill our own motivation, which will be fatal. What we need to do now is to do the best we can to respond. The number of people may really be a kind of countdown, as you say, but so what? Isn't there a countdown where you can treat it all indifferently? Luo Yasen said.

Hearing these words, Shi Yuan finally came back to his senses a little.

"You're right, no matter what, we always have to give it our all, after all, it's our lives at stake."

"However, I don't think you should ignore the countdown you just mentioned. What kind of countdown do you think this is? ”

"It's the upper limit of the number of repetitions in these twenty-four hours."

"You mean, we're going to have eight chances? If you can't do it in eight times, will you really fail? ”

"No, not eight chances, it's six." Shi Yuan looked at the door of Xinyao Pharmacy, and through the glass on the door and window, he could see Hang Guixia inside.

"Oh yes, we've used it twice." Luo Yasen felt that he understood what Shi Yuan meant.

"No, counting the two times used, it's six times in total. We have four chances left, counting this time. ”
