Chapter 169 Pierce's Scar

Pierce nodded: "Yes, in the end, I had to survive the seventh day to get out of the time loop."

Tom noticed that although it was clear that Pierce's scars were left during that mission, Pierce never said how the scars on his face came about. This was probably related to his final escape from the cycle. .

"What about the scar on your face?"

Pierce smiled bitterly: "After that, we went through several cycles. As we stayed up late again and again, our mental state became worse and worse. Finally, I found that whenever I was close to the critical point, I could no longer resist the sleepiness. I guessed that someone must have fallen asleep at that time, so that overwhelming feeling of sleepiness came over me.

After several cycles, I left four companions one after another, and finally only three were left. Every time, I couldn't resist the sleepiness in the last few minutes. Unfortunately, I was among them. I admit that my mind was not that good at that time. firm.

When I discovered that the mental state of the remaining three of us was getting worse and worse with each cycle, and if we went through one or two seven-day cycles like this, our spirits would most likely be unable to support us in staying awake. I realized The three of us left will most likely never get out of the loop.

So I felt cruel for the last time. On the seventh day, I prepared a sharp knife in advance. Half an hour before the critical point, I cut a knife on my thigh every few minutes to stay awake through the pain. However, the closer I got to the critical point, the sleepier I felt. Finally, when there was only one minute left before the critical point, I was already cutting my thighs with a sharp knife almost non-stop.

But then I realized that the pain of cutting my thigh could no longer keep me awake. Seeing that I was about to successfully pass the time point, I didn’t want to give up, so I directly inserted the sharp blade into my cheek and scratched it hard. One stab, and with that excruciating pain, I successfully escaped from the cycle. "

Qin Weijie couldn't help but give Pierce a thumbs up at this time: "Damn it, I didn't expect you to be a werewolf too! A little more ruthless than a ruthless one!"

Listening to Qin Weijie's description, Tom couldn't help but roll his eyes at Qin Weijie: "It was a joke two years ago, but you still play it? Can you play something new?"

"Damn it, I really want to play dirty jokes. Damn it, do you dare to listen to it? Do you dare to listen to me? Can you play it?"

Qin Weijie glanced at Tom and thought to himself, I heard that there was a second-stroke author who wrote about two children telling dirty jokes. As a result, the book was almost blocked. It took a long time to beg the editor to revise and unblock it.

After all, Tom was still a young lady. Hearing that Qin Weijie was about to make a naughty joke, he quickly changed the subject: "You... you... you know what you said! Pierce, continue, what happens next? You have unlocked the secret of the ancient book. ?"

Qin Weijie: "Haha, if they unlock it, can those ancient books still be kept in that ancient house? It would be great if they could encounter that kind of thing!"

Pierce smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The young master is right. Until now, I can't figure out the secrets of those ancient books. It was only after I escaped from the cycle that I discovered that I was being held by the four companions who had escaped from the cycle before. Someone was holding my hand. Someone grabbed my leg by hand. At that time, I was covered in blood. I lost too much blood. Coupled with the unparalleled sleepiness, I passed out immediately.

When I woke up again, I was already in St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic. When four companions came to see me, they told me that the four of them woke up three or four seconds before I woke up. When I woke up in a daze, I saw a knife in my hand, slashing my face. My thighs were covered in blood, and there were countless stab wounds on my thighs. They were worried that I would continue to harm myself, so they all rushed to hug me to stop me from hurting myself.

After that, we reviewed the cause and effect of the whole thing in the hospital. First of all, we found that from the time we entered the ancient house to the time we broke out of the cycle and left the old house, less than three minutes passed in the real world, but we stayed in the cycle for five hundred years. Days.

Secondly, a total of five of us escaped from the time loop. In the time loop, the time when we escaped from the loop was at least seven days apart. However, in the real world, we woke up one after another. The first companion to wake up and me woke up. The time interval between arrivals is at most three seconds. "

"The time is wrong. What is the reason why you entered the cycle? Did someone pull you into another space? A world similar to the mirror space?" Tom asked with a solemn face.

"We can confirm that we never left that basement from beginning to end." Pierce answered truthfully.

Tom: "That means your spirit is pulled into a space for circulation."

"It's not that the spirit is pulled into another space, but a dream! All of you are dreaming!" Qin Weijie interrupted Tom and expressed his opinion.

At this time, Qin Weijie had a stinking look on his face and a confident expression, as if he already knew the secret behind the ancient books in the old house.

But to be honest, Qin Weijie has really guessed something that Tom and the others don't know, but they still need to be verified.

If that's really the case, then I'm going to be rich! Qin Weijie roared excitedly in his heart.

After hearing Qin Weijie's words, Pierce nodded slightly: "Our final analysis is similar to what Tom guessed. Our consciousness has entered a loop. In the end, we only found out after the doctor from St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic reminded us that the spirit was pulled into a space. It's not comprehensive. In fact, we should have entered the dream collectively, and we have experienced a series of cycles in the dream.

This point was finally confirmed by the doctors of St. Mungo's. There were seven Aurors who went to investigate that day. Five of us got rid of the cycle one after another, but there were still two companions who could not get rid of the cycle. When we left, we took the two companions back to St. Mungo's, but they remained unconscious. The doctors of St. Mungo's carefully examined the two people and finally concluded that they were just in a deep sleep and were constantly dreaming.

However, it was just a simple sleep, but they could not wake them up. Two days later, the two Aurors were still sleeping, but the doctors of St. Mungo's found that they were no longer dreaming, and their consciousness fell into permanent silence. I guess they should have gone completely crazy in the endless cycle, and finally chose to end their lives in the dream cycle, and then fell into permanent silence. Although their bodies did not die, their consciousness had long been annihilated. "

As Pierce said, he couldn't help but sigh. As he said, that experience was his lifelong nightmare. If Qin Weijie hadn't asked him today, he would never want to recall the nightmare many years ago in his life.
