When they reached the edge of the grove not far from home, Lumian stopped and turned to look at Leah and the others who were following behind.

It's quite remote, there are no villagers around, and the forest is sparsely wooded, so you can see at a glance if there is anyone hiding nearby.

As the jingling sound approached, Leah asked with a smile:

"How do you know we're looking for someone?"

Lumian didn't speak, and took out the key props he had brought with him:

That little blue book in his house!

He held the object high and showed Ryan and the others the pages of the book where parts of the words had been cut out.

Needless to say, Ryan bowed his head lightly and said:

"That letter for help turned out to be written by you."

They had never mentioned a letter asking for help in the village of Cordu, let alone a detailed description of the letter's cobbling together of words cut out of the Little Blue Book.

Unless the other party has a key position in Bigor, it must be the person who wrote the letter.

Leah instinctively looked around.

The two small silver bells hanging from the veil above her head were strangely silent.

Seeing this scene, Valentine was about to ask directly, "Where are the strange people around", but Ryan was puzzled:

"Why are you sure we're the ones who came because of that letter?"

You told me yourself...... Lumian smiled:

"There were very few outsiders who came to Cordu, and even fewer who didn't buy wool cheese lambs and just wandered around the village to find people to talk to.

"Besides, I didn't say anything, I just showed you this little blue book."

Leah suddenly realized and laughed:

"It turned out to be just a test."

"Very good way, I don't know that the person in the letter asking for help doesn't understand your intentions at all, and he won't have too many suspicions, at most he thinks it's a prank, and you are the prank king of Kordu Village." Ryan bowed slightly.

He nodded without a trace, saying that the three of them had not gained nothing from chatting in Kordu Village in the past few days, at least they had figured out who the more famous people in the village were, and completed the correspondence.

Lumian suddenly showed a teasing smile:

"Convinced? Are you convinced? ”

Seeing that the expressions of Ryan and the others were stunned for a moment, he added:

"I was just joking, I'll tell you the real reason later."

Leah grinds her teeth:

"Worthy of being the prankster king of Kordu Village, aren't you afraid that we won't believe what you're talking about because of this?"

"You can choose not to believe it." Lumian looked "indifferent" and "you can also verify it yourself." ”

Valentine, who was obviously a little dissatisfied, asked eagerly:

"You mentioned in your letter that the people around you are getting stranger and stranger, what is so strange?"

Lumian let out an "oops" and cocked his fingers:

"That's a lot, specifically the parish priest believes in the evil god, the shepherd Pierre. Berry drives people back to Cordu when he turns people into sheep, Lady Pualis gallops through the wilderness in a carriage pulled by the devil, a lizard-like transparent creature comes out of his mouth when the priest sleeps, Narocca is not dead but is going to the other world, and the administrator's male butler Louis. Lund had just given birth to a baby of his own, and the owl of wizarding legend flew back to the village from time to time......"

The more Ryan, Leah, and Valente listened, the more shocked they became, they didn't want to believe it, and they felt that the kid in front of them couldn't make up so many outrageous stories.

They are all experienced official investigators, and have dealt with many extraordinary events, many of which involve evil gods and secret arts, but none of them are as absurd and exaggerated as they are heard now, that is, it is normal for the parish priest to believe in evil gods.

What's more, most of the events they had dealt with before were independent, and at most two or three occurred at the same time, and they were closely related to each other, and there were so many such terrifying anomalies in Kordu Village!

"What the hell is this place?" Almost instantly, similar thoughts flashed through the minds of Leah, Ryan, and Valentine.

They wonder if they have accidentally broken into the legendary abyss or hell!

When Lumian stopped, Leah couldn't help but ask:

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Are there any normal people in this village?

Lumian smiled:

"I'm not done yet, there's an anomaly left.

"This is the third and fourth time I've talked to you about something like this, Ryan, Leah, Valentine, my cabbages."

Ryan, Leah, and Valentine weren't surprised that Lumian knew the names of the others—they inevitably reported their names when they wandered around the village for the past two days to talk to someone.

They were even more surprised and puzzled by the first half of the sentence.

"What do you mean?" Valentine asked, frowning.

"I mean it's been repeating itself for a few days, which means we're stuck in a time loop." Lumian didn't let the three outsiders guess, and gave the standard answer.

Without waiting for Ryan to question, he briefly mentioned what the two sides had experienced together, and finally said:

"If you think about it, is it really March 29 when you entered the village?"

Leah and the others fell into deep thought at the same time.

After more than ten seconds, Valentine showed a painful expression:

"I had a vague sense of time and couldn't remember the exact dates of the previous two months......

"But, I remember, I remember celebrating my youngest son's birthday before I left, and his birthday was ......"

Valentine jerked his head up and blurted out in extreme shock:

"It's April 10th!"

That is, the real time now is mid-to-late April? In this way, I don't have many cycles before I can remember, not even once...... Well, that time was the initial one, and the cycle hadn't started yet, so you could send letters directly halfway, without relying on the help of the river, and when the cycle appeared, you could go back and the corresponding memories would be covered, but the material out of scope couldn't come back? Lumian had a new guess about the letter.

He nodded imperceptibly and said to Ryan and Leah:

"You can also send a telegram to the outside world to set out the current date in a way that does not arouse suspicion.

"When the time comes, you'll believe me."

"Yes, yes! Telegram! Valentine sobered up, "Ask for help!" ”

Lumian glanced at him with the eyes of a fool:

"Help?

"In the face of this strange time loop, how do you officially deal with it?"

Ryan was silent for a moment and said:

"Destroy it directly, so that the pollution does not spread."

"So, asking for help now is a bit like suicide." Lumien smiled and spread his hands.

Valente responded with a fanatical expression:

"According to the regulations, I must report immediately, and I am willing to sacrifice for this!"

"......" Lumian was shocked.

And such people?

No, we have to get rid of this guy right away, lest everyone end up together!

Luckily, Leah and Ryan clearly felt they could be saved, and they looked at each other and nodded.

Ryan patted Valentine on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, we don't know exactly what's going on, maybe there's a better solution.

"If we really can't help ourselves, we'll report the situation to the higher-ups."

"yes." Lumian hurriedly added, and recounted the discoveries and speculations outside the chest symbols, dream ruins, mysterious lady, and curly-haired baboon research society, and finally said, "The key to the problem is most likely to be on the twelfth night, and we must survive this cycle until that time, only in this way can the next cycle really solve the problem." ”

Seeing that he had told so many details and was able to corroborate each other, Ryan and the others were completely inclined to believe his statement, and Valentine also calmed down and remembered his wife and children.

"No wonder you know us and know we're looking for someone." Leah sighed.

It turned out that I had communicated in the last loop.

She subconsciously touched the small silver bell above her head, wanting to do a divination, but thinking of the anomalies described by Lumian, she forcibly held back.

She didn't want to blow up the divination because she shouldn't have done it before she started the real investigation.

Ryan thought for a moment and said to Lumien:

"You told us this because you want us to cooperate with you and your sister in something?"

"Clever, my cabbage." Lumian laughed, and said, "One is to send a telegram to the outside, saying that your investigation has made preliminary gains, and the parish priest seems to have a certain problem, and then ask what the lizard-like thing that came out of his mouth is, this is the least likely of all anomalies to directly cause a devastating blow, ah, by the way, and then determine the real date, pay attention to the ways and means, and don't let the outside people suspect."

"Well, this afternoon, my sister will invite Mrs. Pualis to my house for afternoon tea, and I hope you will sneak into the magistrate's mansion with me and do a certain search.

"As for the future, it depends on the information we get today."

Ryan, Leah, and Valentine looked at each other, and felt that Lumian's request was not too much.

That's what they're going to do in itself.

The four then proceeded to the village square, where Ryan sent a telegram while Lea, Valentine, and Lumian waited outside under the elm tree.

Leah, who was in a good mood, glanced at Lumian and asked curiously:

"You're extraordinary, and so is your sister?"

"Yes." Lumian didn't hide it.

Leah suddenly laughed:

"So direct, not afraid of being caught by us?"

"We are now in the same boat, and we can only help each other in the face of an emergency when the ship is about to sink." Lumien shrugged his shoulders, "As for the future, it is still unknown whether we will be able to escape this cycle later." ”

"That's right." Leah clanged her head to the side and looked at Valentine.

The reason why she provoked this topic was to make her companions understand this truth and not to do stupid things.

Valentine's expression was still indifferent, and he nodded imperceptibly.

Leah turned to ask about one of her more concerns:

"Why are you able to keep your previous memories?"

"I won't tell you." Lumian laughed.

Without waiting for Leah to respond, he spread his hands and said:

"Just kidding, in fact, I don't know, I somehow keep my memory, and only the last two cycles."

"When you think back to what happened, maybe it's critical." Leah groaned.

Lumian said sincerely:

"I've been thinking about it all this time, but I haven't realized it, maybe I have to run into something before I suddenly wake up."

As Ria was about to help with the analysis, Ryan, who had received the call back, walked out of the building where the administrator was located.
