Chapter 870: Strife
The crowd looked at the dead bird on the ground and fell silent.
"This is ......" Baili Chubby looked at this scene and stayed in place.
Lin Qiye and An Qingyu quickly looked up at the sky, four or five flying birds were entangled in the sky in the distance, attacking each other while screaming violently, and the broken feathers soaked in blood kept falling from the air, flying into the distance with the wind......
One after another, the birds were pecked and fell, and in the end, only one bloodied bird was left alive in the sky.
It screamed sharply in the air, fluttered its wings waddlingly, and gradually disappeared from everyone's view.
"I seem to know how these insects die......" Cao Yuan muttered to himself.
"They're killing each other?" Lin Qiye frowned and looked at the corpses of insects and ants in the soil pit, his eyes were full of puzzlement, "Why?" ”
An Qingyu was silent for a moment, but still shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"That's right." At this moment, Shen Qingzhu seemed to think of something, "You just said that time here is a closed loop, and when it comes to an end, all the people and things here will be reset and return to their original state......
What about us?
Will we also go back to square one? ”
Hearing this question, An Qingyu thought about it seriously and said with a solemn expression, "If the situation here is really as I speculated, a closed loop of time that constantly 'ends' and 'restarts', then most of us will not be able to return to the starting point of this time."
It's like an adventure game, when a level is saved, the system only records and retains the state of the moment when the save is saved, and we are the outsiders who enter later, and the save here does not have our information, once the time here comes to an end, it is time to restart again......
We will be like dust on a closed loop, directly erased by time. ”
Baili's chubby face suddenly became ugly.
"Obliterated by time? Is it so serious? ”
"The power of the law of time is simply something we can't compete with." An Qingyu said solemnly, "The only way out for us is to find a way out of here before the closed loop ends." ”
"But we don't even know when it will start or when it will end."
"No, we already know when it started." Lin Qiye picked up the purchase order, "The last time the commissary bought was in the evening of the day before yesterday, which means that the starting point of the closed loop should be yesterday, coinciding with the time when we entered this fishing village...... Perhaps, that's why we were able to stumble into this place by mistake. ”
"But the time when the closed loop will end is unknown, it could be tomorrow, it could be this afternoon, it could be ...... It's the next second. ”
"In other words, while we are talking here, the closed loop may come to an end, and we will be wiped out directly?" Baili Chubby couldn't help but complain, "This is too exciting, isn't it?!" ”
"Theoretically, that's true, but I don't think it's that fast." An Qingyu speculated, "As I just said, I don't think this closed loop appeared here for no reason, its existence must be accompanied by some kind of reason that we have not yet discovered, and the closed loop will not end casually until this 'cause' does not trigger the 'consequence'." ”
An Qingyu's words were too profound, except for Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu, most of the others heard it in a fog, but they had already realized the urgency of time.
"There's one more question." Shen Qingzhu slowly spoke, "If this closed loop started yesterday, then the [Mask] team that entered this fishing village several days earlier than us...... How's it going? ”
The air suddenly fell silent.
Lin Qiye froze in place, and a certain thought came to his heart, and he forcibly pressed it down.
An Qingyu was silent for a moment, but still said truthfully: "The time when the [Mask] team entered the fishing village was ten days ago, and they should have entered the previous or last time closed loop here, they are also outsiders like us, and they are not in the queue that has been restarted, since we haven't been able to see them in this closed loop, it also means ......
They may have been obliterated. ”
"Impossible!" Baili Chubby was the first to jump out and object, "That's [masquerade]!" How can it be so easy to obliterate?! ”
"I agree." Cao Yuan then said, "Just because they didn't appear here doesn't mean they must have been wiped out, what if they also found a way to leave before the end of the closed loop?" ”
"If they managed to escape, why didn't we see them in the outside world?" An Qingyu asked rhetorically.
Cao Yuan was speechless.
"Maybe they were sent to another time, just like us at the time? Maybe they were sent somewhere else and didn't have time to come back? Baili Chubby's speech gradually increased, as if he was in a hurry.
"It's all your guess, although there is such a possibility, but the probability is too slim."
"Then what you said about closed loop, erasure, isn't it just speculation?"
"I'm making a reasonable guess based on existing clues."
"Anyway! I don't believe that the [Masquerade] team will be wiped out in this place! ”
"[Masquerade] is also a human being, and it will bleed and die, and you can't deny the facts because of your own subjective impression."
"Bullshit facts!"
An Qingyu and Baili Chubby's voices became louder and louder, and the speed of speech became faster and faster, Baili Chubby had a red face and red ears, as if he was arguing with anger, and An Qingyu's brows on the side were getting tighter and tighter, without the slightest intention of backing down.
"Shut up!"
Lin Qiye spoke abruptly, suppressing the voices of both of them.
Lin Qiye's gaze swept over the two, and majesty appeared in his eyes, and he said angrily: "What are you arguing about?" Is this the time for you to quarrel? Regardless of whether the [Masquerade] team is dead or alive, our first goal is to find a way out of here!
If we can't leave before the end of the closed loop, we'll all have to give an account here! ”
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Lin Qiye took a deep breath and continued: "If it is really as Qingyu said, the closed loop of time here is caused by someone or a certain item, it will inevitably cause some supernatural abnormalities, or spread out according to last night's grouping to search, once any clues are found, notify others immediately." ”
"Disband!"
Lin Qiye's voice fell, and Baili Chubby secretly glanced at An Qingyu, as if he wanted to step forward and say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and walked towards the other side of the fishing village alone.
"Seven Nights ......" An Qingyu took off her glasses, pinched the bridge of her nose with her right hand, frowned, and seemed to be a little tired, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to confront Chubby just now, I ......"
"It's okay, I know you're just telling the truth." Lin Qiye patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Chubby is very arrogant on the surface, but his mind is actually very delicate, and in his heart, [Masquerade] is not just a special team...... He just wanted them to be safe. ”
"No, that's not what I meant." An Qingyu put her glasses back on, looked at Lin Qiye with bloodshot eyes, and said seriously, "I couldn't control my emotions...... That's very wrong. ”
