262: Doomsday
Mark is a backhand arranged by Zhou Baiyu.
After perceiving that he might fall into a loop, Zhou Baiyu thought, will Mark in the dream also fall into a loop?
So he had the earliest communication with Mark, and after being sure that Mark was not stuck in a loop, Zhou Baiyu did not immediately ask Mark to help.
Instead, Mark was instructed to talk to himself after he was sure that he could not break the cycle on his own.
Zhou Baiyu himself also tried, and in the cycle, his sense of déjà vu became weaker and weaker, and the strange feeling brought by intuition gradually dissipated in the cycle.
He was a complete failure, unable to realize the existence of the cycle on his own, let alone break it.
So there was a scene not long ago, when Mark suddenly spoke up, temporarily breaking the day that should have been in cycle.
Or it's not broken, it's just that on this day, Zhou Baiyu's behavior trajectory has become different from before.
Mark was very dedicated and friendly.
"These days, I don't have a day to do the right thing?"
"To be honest, my friend, the white BYD license plate number you are riding, the driver's voice, the number passing by the Fucai store, and the bust of the little girl at the front desk in the building you are about to go to...... No, I can recite the mobile phone videos I watched, and even the interviewer's various situations. ”
Mark was a little helpless:
"Of course, I don't think you want to see me too much, I can feel that you are still afraid of me, and I want to believe that you can break the cycle on your own."
"But the result, very helpless, I observed for twenty-one days, and the cycle was a small strengthening every day, and a large strengthening every seven days."
"In the first week, you can realize every day that you're stuck in a loop."
"In the second week, you're in a huge state of confusion, but you don't realize where the cycle is."
"By the third week, you're already feeling a small part of déjà vu, but you don't realize where the cycle is."
"So it can't be like this. As much as I have faith in you, I can't waste your time, partner, let's find out the source together. ”
Mark is even very emotionally intelligent when he speaks.
What I have confidence in you, but I can't waste your time...... This sentence made Zhou Baiyu couldn't help but blush.
He was completely defeated by the loop.
Coughing lightly twice, Zhou Baiyu realized a problem-
Mark has saved his life several times.
This is not a good thing, because Zhou Baiyu feels that even if he has no face and no skin, if he owes a lot of favors, it may also affect his judgment in the future.
For now, though, he has to rely on Mark.
"So these days, I'm not doing anything meaningful. The Precursors were also wasted twenty-one days, and in these twenty-one days, none of my companions were recruited? ”
"Nope. Your stronghold, several people in the house of Yunjin Tianjiang, all the same, fell into a cycle with you. ”
Zhou Baiyu's eyes widened.
The news sent chills down his spine.
Twenty-one days, Konstantin, himself, Brother Duan, President, Snow Demon, Wuxin...... Co-authored so many people, stunned that none of them entered the call-up?
It's a coincidence.
"Does that mean we're actually stuck on the same day? Time doesn't flow? Otherwise, if time flows normally, and it is just some kind of mysterious power that reverses everything to the way it was before, then it is impossible for this existence that is derived from the rules of the gods to be affected. ”
Zhou Baiyu frowned:
"No...... No, it doesn't seem to make sense. ”
If you are really trapped on the same day and time stops flowing, then why do you have a sense of déjà vu?
This argument is also not true.
Because time has gone back in time, it is impossible for a person to have a sense of déjà vu about what did not happen.
Time is fluid, and the unknown force makes everything circulate, and I have actually experienced the same life many times, which will produce a sense of déjà vu.
But if time is fluid, then why haven't all been pulled away by the draft?
Although the interval between a call-up and a call-up is uncertain, a twenty-one day of vacation is a bit too long. And you can't all the forerunners and pure walkers in the entire level take a long vacation, right?
For a while, Zhou Baiyu fell into confusion.
Mark continues:
"After three major reinforcements of the cycle, now basically everyone is stuck in the cycle, and the subjective consciousness is not aware of it."
Here's how I summarized the cycle – first of all, memory cycles. You already know that. ”
"The second is that the scene will be looped, some mysterious power will restore all the scenes, such as your mobile phone, the standby time is three days, you don't charge it before going to bed, but when you wake up the next morning, the power will return to the state you had yesterday morning."
"The reset time is at 4:30 at midnight."
"In the end, it was sunny for all 21 days. Personally, I think it is – this cycle is to bring the time back to the day before. ”
Zhou Baiyu shook his head:
"If you turn back time, do you think you'll be able to detect it?"
Mark was silent for a moment.
Indeed, if you go back in time, even if it is yourself hidden in Zhou Baiyu's dream...... The rules of time must also be followed.
In dreams, he can avoid many "rituals", but all his actions take time.
"The memory has been reset, the scene has been reset, but time has not been reversed, so that I will have the so-called sense of déjà vu, and you will not be affected to record this."
"But I don't know why there was no call-up."
Zhou Baiyu touched his chin and thought.
Mark says:
"There's at least good news, isn't it? If it weren't for the time loop, our opponents wouldn't be so terrible. Explain that the other party is not in control of the time. ”
Zhou Baiyu nodded, it can be seen that Mark is also afraid of the ability of the time system.
But the question now is - how to find the source?
Mark says:
"Our biggest problem right now is that we don't know anything about our opponents. This could be some kind of pollution, but where the source of the pollution is, it's not clear at all. ”
On Zhou Baiyu's mobile phone, a red east wind appeared.
Due to the staggered time, he did not hit the white BYD.
Looking at the things on his phone, he said:
"Is there a way I can get the memories of these days?"
"Yes, but it must be after half past four in the morning, before you wake up, I transmit it to you through dreams, and I must give you your consent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do these things while you're sober. ”
Zhou Baiyu was very satisfied with this statement, and of course, he didn't necessarily fully believe Mark.
But right now, he really needs Mark's help.
Well, he still needs to figure out one thing:
"You say that the cycle has a small strengthening every day and a big strengthening every seven days, what do you think about the effect of the cycle on you? How long does it take for the cycle to affect you? ”
Mark was silent for a moment and then said:
"It's hard to say, but for quite a while, the cycle shouldn't have worked on me."
"But time can't afford to be wasted."
Zhou Baiyu had to admit that Mark was right. Time can't afford to be wasted.
"From now on you will be empowered, I am a recycled memory, and I need you to give it to me in the form of a dream."
"Do as you are told, my friend."
When Mark had finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Zhou Baiyu soon waited for the car, he still needed to go to the interview.
When he didn't construct the details to break the cycle in his mind - Zhou Baiyu decided to live a step-by-step life.
So what happened next was that Zhou Baiyu went to participate in the interview as always.
But in the afternoon, he gathered all his friends and told him about what had happened recently in Yunjin Tianjiang's house.
With the light and dust, waking up and impermanent, the snow demon, Konstantin, and Ushin, all gathered in one place, and everyone had an unbelievable expression on their faces.
Because they can't imagine that they are trapped in some kind of cycle.
It's a hard thing to understand.
It's as if at this moment, you suddenly see a message that sobers you up and makes you quickly recall, he tells you that you have been trapped on the same day for many years.
But you don't notice it, you just think: who is so boring.
What happened yesterday is vivid for you, and tomorrow will naturally come smoothly.
So this kind of talk is like crazy talk.
Zhou Baiyu didn't say crazy things, or rather, because the person who spoke was Zhou Baiyu, although everyone found it unbelievable, they still chose to believe it.
So Heguang Tongchen and others quickly built a plan and prepared to go to various places in Linxiang City to explore clues.
Of course, this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
In particular, you can remember something by making a mark, but others don't.
Today, Heguang Tongchen launched a search for Linxiang City through his own words.
What about tomorrow? Tomorrow, I will reset my memories with the light.
With the light and dust, they will still choose to go to the same place to search.
Zhou Baiyu may be able to rely on Mark to remember the choice of being with the light...... But he didn't want to overuse Mark.
I always feel that it is not a good thing to rely too much on Mark.
He was afraid of Mark.
……
……
Next.
When Zhou Baiyu opened his eyes in the morning, he subconsciously thought about today's arrangement.
But soon, through a hint from Mark, he realized the dream not long ago.
"Please recall your dreams, my friend."
Why did Mark suddenly make a sound?
Following this thought, Zhou Baiyu recalled the dream, and after a few minutes, he realized the horror of the matter.
"So I'm stuck in the loop......"
An hour in a dream, maybe only a few minutes in reality, relying on this way, Mark can make a whole day into a dream and instill it into Zhou Baiyu.
But it's worth noting that not everyone can remember their dreams.
Even if it is Zhou Baiyu, it will be a little lost, but fortunately, such a loss will not affect the whole.
He rubbed his head:
"Looks like yesterday the councillor's search was fruitless."
"Yes, if the source of the pollution is somewhere, it is absolutely impossible to find it so easily."
"It's the 22nd day, but we're still stuck in the loop, and we still haven't called up ......"
"Wait!"
Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought of something.
There's no enlistment in the real world, but you can still enter the transit station, right?
"I'm just thinking about this now, careless."
Zhou Baiyu's eyes were happy.
"It's not a time loop, it's a forced loop caused by some force, and time flows normally......"
"At the moment, it seems that the whole world is affected."
"But the transit station is not of this world."
Although you can't enter the advance world without being recruited, it doesn't mean that you can't leave this world.
"I hope Sister Lin can give me an answer."
……
……
Transfer.
When she saw Zhou Baiyu's figure again, Lin breathed a sigh of relief. But the worry in his eyes did not abate.
"Little brother, you are finally here, you haven't shown up for more than 20 days, and a few of us middlemen are in a hurry! You've finally shown up! ”
Sister Lin's tone was anxious. You must know that in the past few days, the middlemen were all very confident.
"My disciple will be trapped? Impossible! ”
Every intermediary thinks so, but this self-confidence gradually disintegrates as time passes.
Instead, there is anxiety and worry.
Even despair.
If you don't see the forerunner in the first few days, then the probability of seeing you again in the future is not very high.
Zhou Baiyu probably guessed from Sister Lin's expression that the current situation was very dangerous.
Sister Lin didn't sell Guanzi, and decided to pick the important content and said:
"All the first movers will be stuck in a situation where there is no call-up because the third defensive mode has begun."
"Listen, this defensive mode is special. According to Zhong Duan and Moissanite's interpretation, the defensive mode is what 'we' use to suppress humanity. ”
"But if humanity can withstand such a crackdown, the defensive mode will bring great rewards, as well as a change in attitude towards humanity."
"You already know all of this, and Zhong Duan and Moissan, the two most knowledgeable intermediaries, both believe that the number of defensive patterns will not be infinite."
"Probably...... There are only three or five times in defensive mode, and no more than five times. ”
"But one thing is for sure, the defensive mode will get harder and harder every time."
Zhou Baiyu nodded.
Judging from the second time, if you are not careful, it will trigger a global-level aura of intelligence reduction.
So it is certain that the third defensive mode may not be more expressive than the second, but it will be more difficult to solve.
Sister Lin says:
"The biggest problem with this defensive mode is that there are no announcements. In other words, the defensive mode learned the lessons of the first two times and decided to hit the first movers by surprise. ”
"And wait for the forerunners to realize...... No, the more time passes, the more you can't realize it, and that's the most incomprehensible. ”
Zhou Baiyu understood, no wonder there was no call-up, because during the defensive mode, there was no call-up.
No call-up, for the individual First Move, means no risk, but it also means no promotion.
At the same time - for the advance world, it means that the tragic future of humanity will not change.
Overall, conscription, while dangerous, is an opportunity for humanity to change its destiny.
And the time of the advance world is still being lost...... If the forerunner is in the real world of repetition and circulation, then the forerunner is equivalent to a collective prison.
By the time the cycle of nature breaks, it is likely that the Second World will be completely polluted and corruption will begin to spread to the Third World, which is the day the real world.
Zhou Baiyu's expression was solemn:
"So if you don't break the cycle...... Approximately equal to the destruction of the world? ”
"I'm afraid so. Honestly, you were able to be here today...... It came as a surprise. I even thought that the last time we met, it was probably goodbye. ”
Sister Lin poured a glass of wine, thinking about the current situation, she also had a headache.
The middleman can only be trapped in the transit station and cannot do anything.
So she doesn't know how to save the situation now.
Zhou Baiyu appeared today, but tomorrow Zhou Baiyu may have all his memories emptied.
As for the source of the pollution, so far, there are no clues.
This defensive mode may not be as tragic as the last defensive mode.
But this silent cycle of prison is actually even more terrifying.
"The Advance World is functioning normally, if I go to the Advance World...... Does that mean I can get out of the cycle? ”
Sister Lin nodded, but her eyes were still dull:
"But you can't enter the Advance World without the Call. And you won't be able to use your version of the self-selection privilege until the source of the contamination is addressed. ”
Last time, Zhou Baiyu relied on the self-selection privilege of the version to reverse time and space.
However, it can only be used after killing the target person, Ryan.
Zhou Baiyu understood.
This defensive mode is indeed terrifying, and it almost cuts off the way to the advance world.
And as long as it's in the real world, it's bound to be dragged into the loop.
The endless cycle is about the same as sanctioning the path of human upgrading.
"I'll see you again, Sister Lin, don't worry. I already have a way to combat the cycle. ”
"As long as one person can wake up from the loop, this game is not absolutely unsolvable, is it?"
I went on a blind date at four o'clock, and I said it last time, because of the tattoo, a string of Korean, I really don't like it, it's a tattoo, and it's hard to wash off. This time, the subject is a very polite woman who does finance. Well...... I'm not hopeful, but I'm still going to try. No leave.
