Chapter 117: Cycle?

Jiang Mo and the others hid in this room talking and laughing, and the tension in the air dissipated a lot for a while.

It didn't take long for such a relaxing time to strike again in the fog of thick fog.

The sound of the window cracking sounded, and everyone's expressions became nervous.

From the previous conversation, it can be known that Chen Cheng and the others have been attacked by dense fog several times before, but it is not as serious as this time.

Moreover, in the previous attacks, I had heard some strange footsteps coming from the corridor.

However, because they were more cautious, they did not attract the attention of the monsters in the corridor.

Jiang Mo listened with his ears, and really heard some small footsteps coming from outside the building, those voices were slightly urgent, as if he was looking for something.

Glancing at the window, there were only a few more cracks on it, and it looked like it could hold up for a while.

After thinking about it, he gestured to Chen Cheng, and sneaked out through the crack in the door with the young dragon and the barrel dragon.

Although hiding here can be temporarily safe, if you want to really break the game, you must continue to explore.

In the corridor, the fog slowly falls from the rooftop.

Looking up, it was still far away.

Jiang Mo then looked down the stairs again, and sure enough, he found the source of the sound.

It was a three-person team, wearing the official uniform, and was cautiously groping down at the moment.

"Hey!"

Jiang Mo directly said hello downward, and then slowly walked down.

And the three-person team downstairs subconsciously made preparations for battle after hearing Jiang Mo's voice.

When he saw that the person who came was a normal person, he did not take it lightly, but maintained a vigilant posture.

"Hello, I'm here to support you."

"Hello"

A man of the same age as Jiang Mo appeared on the other side, and after the other party looked at Jiang Mo, he reported to his home.

"Sun Ming"

"Jiang Mo"

The two exchanged names, and then confirmed their identities with some internal codes.

After the identity was confirmed, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Jiang Mo gave a general explanation of the situation, and then led them to the room where Chen Cheng was.

Although the fog above his head continued to spread downward, Jiang Mo's calm expression gave Sun Ming a special sense of security.

Back in the room, Chen Cheng was also surprised when he saw Sun Ming.

"Sun Ming? I thought you were all out."

"Me?"

Sun Ming's eyes widened.

"We can't help it, but it's you, why did you suddenly disappear?"

"We've been hiding here since we were separated by the mist, what about you?"

Chen Cheng said slowly.

"It shouldn't be! We're in a room on the top two floors, and there's no way we've been missing anything out of the ordinary for so long."

Sun Ming frowned slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Mo interrupted the conversation.

"Captain Sun, it's better to talk about your experience, maybe it will help the current situation."

Chen Cheng also nodded in agreement.

Then Sun Ming slowly told their experience.

Their experiences are largely the same as Chen's.

After assisting Chen Cheng in a battle, several of his teammates turned into blood beasts, and then they were forced to disperse by the blood beasts.

They also tried to find Chen Cheng and them, but most of the rooms could not be opened, and no one responded.

In the end, he had to find a safer room and hide.

After listening to his narration, Jiang Mo asked.

"Did you hear anything when you were in the room?"

"Voice?"

Sun Ming hesitated.

"Only every time the fog comes, does it appear in the hallway

Sounds like blood beasts walking."

"Have you ever gone out to see it?"

Jiang Mo asked.

"I opened the door once, but unfortunately I found nothing, only the fog that poured into us frantically, and then we reappeared on the rooftop."

"What about you, Captain Chen?"

Jiang Mo turned his head to look at Chen Cheng.

"It's the same with us, every time the fog appears, we are teleported to the rooftop and start over."

Chen Cheng replied in the affirmative.

"How many times have you all been there?"

"5 times"

"3 times"

The answers of the two were different, and Sun Ming was less frequent because he came late.

"I see, I kind of know how this copy works."

"What?"

The two looked at Jiang Mo expectantly, they had been trapped here for a long time, although there was no danger to their lives, but this experience was mental torture again and again.

It's fine once or twice, and they can withstand it a hundred and eighty times, but if they can't get out all the time, they're not sure if they'll do something crazy.

"The blood beast is a bait, and this building is a cage."

Jiang Mo spoke slowly, and they also listened to him quietly.

I saw Jiang Mo take out a few stones and put them on the ground.

"This represents the blood beast, and the blood beast is the bait."

"Whoever kills a blood beast is a fish that bites the bait."

Jiang Mo took out a stone and put it on the ground, indicating that it was a blood beast.

Then he took out another stone.

"This stone represents Captain Chen."

"After Captain Chen killed the blood beast, he took the bait and entered the cage of the building."

Jiang Mo made a circular pattern on the ground, and then put down the stone representing Captain Chen.

Outside of this pattern, there is a stone representing a blood beast.

Chen Cheng and the others nodded, motioning for Jiang Mo to continue.

"Then there's Captain Sun. If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't have been able to find Captain Chen before you killed the Blood Beast."

"That's right."

Captain Sun nodded in agreement.

"We couldn't find their location before, and as you said, we only found them after killing the Blood Beast."

"That's because after killing the Blood Beast, you were also in the cage."

"In the cage, we can meet as fish"

Jiang Mo put the stone representing Captain Sun in the other direction of the circular pattern.

"And I'm in the cage like you, that's why we can meet here."

The three stones were placed by Jiang Mo in different positions of the circular pattern, and outside the pattern, there were stones representing blood beasts.

"If I'm not mistaken, time in this cage should be in a constant cycle."

"With the dense fog as a node, we reset our time every time"

"Similar to a game saves?"

Sun Ming continued his meaning and said downward.

"Yes, that's a good fit."

Jiang Mo nodded in agreement.

"That's why I've killed Captain Chen and them, and they're unscathed."

"And I suspect that every time the copy is reset, some of our memories will be blurred, otherwise those two wouldn't have recognized me."

As he spoke, Jiang Mo pointed to the two team members on Chen Cheng's side.

It was the two men who had been caught under the armpit by the barrel dragon before, and their faces were burned.

"Huh? And what?"

Chen Cheng showed a stunned expression, but he didn't take it to heart.

After all, it doesn't matter what happened in the past, at least the current self is alive and well, and that's enough.

What's more, if you don't remember it at all, you won't care about it.

If it's not when it's critical

Wait. It is impossible for Jiang Mo to tell them this kind of thing casually, after all, it sounds a bit evil, and it will damage his image, and it will make Shangguan Lei have a crack because of this.

But now it seems that Chen Cheng didn't care about this matter, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"In that case, is it possible that we've experienced this quest more than 5 times?"

Chen Cheng also appropriately forked the topic and asked Jiang Mo.

"Yes, I even suspect that after going through a few copies, it may affect our original memories and make us think that this is the reality."

"Otherwise, I can't think of a reason for the other party to do this."

"After all, isn't it just to make it think that it hasn't left the pond yet?"

Jiang Mo's calm words were spoken, but the two people on the side were secretly frightened.

I never expected this copy to have so many claims.

When my memories are blurred, am I still me?..

Isn't that a marionette in the hands of the other party?

While they were thinking, Jiang Mo's voice continued to come.

"And there's one more thing, I don't know if you've found out."

"All the Blood Beasts in this quest are weird."

"When they appear in front of each of us, they look very different."

"Except for the blood beast that turned into in front of you, the other monsters give me a sense of unreality."

"I suspect that the blood beast that the player becomes and the blood beast in the original copy are completely different creatures."

"Something like one is bait and the other is a subordinate?"

Jiang Mo said some of his conjectures about blood beasts.

"That's true, we also feel this way, and we feel that the monsters in this copy are too weak."

"Although it's a small copy, this monster still feels a little weak."

"And it's strange that we haven't met them once since they became blood beasts."

Chen Cheng also chimed in.

"That's because they're out."

Jiang Mo said with a calm expression.

"Got out?"

Sun Ming looked surprised.

"Where else do you think the person who reported the contents of our copy came from?"

"Doesn't that mean there's danger out there?"

Sun Ming's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to think of something bad.

And Chen Cheng was mentally prepared because of the previous discussion, and he was not so gaffe.

"Since there is an entrance, there is an exit, right?"

"How do we get out? Is there anything you can do?"

Sun Ming asked this crucial question.

Chen Cheng also looked at Jiang Mo expectantly.

I saw Jiang Mo say confidently.

"Yes, demolish the building!!"

Chen Cheng and Sun Ming looked at Jiang Mo with a confident face, and couldn't help but show expressions of crying and laughing.

The head of your previous analysis is the Tao, and we are all ready to follow you out of here.

As a result, you tell me that the exit you found was to open an exit yourself?

Looking at their strange expressions, Jiang Mo also gave an explanation.

"If they can get out, there must be a way."

"But I'd rather believe that the road is blocked, otherwise we wouldn't have found the exit for so long,"

"And I don't think we can find the exit now, which we couldn't find before."

"Instead of wasting time, find a different way"

Jiang Mo explained to them slowly.
