Chapter 404 Time is a line
"What happened?"

Less than fifty meters away from the hotel, a group of people were startled by a violent explosion.

One of the women looked towards the location of the explosion with a look of disbelief on her face.

Besides being surprised, I was also filled with fear and confusion.

She was the "bait" of the bandit group. This time, as usual, she first joined the other small groups that they were targeting as a newcomer, and then lured the other party to the hotel by means of scene strategies, and then killed them one by one in the same way.

Why does it have to be in this hotel? Because this hotel is really a level scene.

And there is an attribute in this level scene.

That is, 'Kill other memory collectors to obtain [memory]'.

Therefore, killing people here can earn [Memory] in itself, and can also plunder the cards on the opponent. It can be said to be a profitable business with no loss.

But at this moment, the hotel was actually blown up into the sky. This kind of thing is simply unimaginable.

Bait was filled with fear. She immediately quickened her pace and approached the scene. When she saw the ruins of the bombed hotel with her own eyes, she froze in place.

"What exactly happened?"

Those people who were lured here by her were all confused at this time and had no idea what was going on.

Little did they know that they had just walked through the gates of hell.

At this moment, two people suddenly jumped out from the alley next to them, and one of them chopped off the palm of the "bait" with a knife.

The bait didn't have time to react at all. He let out a scream and was knocked to the ground by a stick.

Just as those who had been brought here to recall the past were about to step forward, one of the two attackers took out a bomb and held it in his hand.

"You have all been deceived by her. This girl is just a bait to trick you into coming to this hotel. Her accomplices will ambush you here, and then plunder all your cards and kill you all," said Lu Ting.

This bait is also the culprit, so of course we can't let her go.

"Are you telling the truth?" The few people who were deceived to come here were half-believing and half-doubting, but Lu Ting simply told them their own experiences. Regardless of whether those people believed it or not, at least, they would not help the 'bait' anymore.

The most important thing is that if you think about this matter, you will find that there are many problems, that is, what these two women said may be true.

"If that's the case, thank you very much. We owe you a favor." The other party knew the situation and was very reasonable.

"It doesn't matter about favors. We seek revenge on them, not to save you." Lu Ting didn't intend to say more about this matter.

"I know, but I still want to thank you. If there is anything you need help with, just let us know and we will help you."

"Okay, there is one thing. We didn't have time to plunder the cards of the accomplices of the bait in the hotel before, so they will come out again on the next cycle day. I will tell you the names and characteristics of these people. Try to spread the news. If you find any trace of them, tell us immediately."

"No problem. We have many friends. From now on, you are also our friends. My name is Liu Mao. Let's help each other and share what we have."

"My name is Lu Ting, and that's okra."

After a brief acquaintance, the two began the final revenge phase of this daily cycle. They interrogated the 'bait' and asked him everything he knew. Then, of course, no matter how the other party begged or knelt to admit his fault, they took away all of this guy's cards and rings without hesitation and killed him with one knife.

The entire revenge plan lasted for at least ten cycles.

The bait was turned into amnesiac in the first round.

After that, it’s the other backbone members of the team.

At first they wanted to organize their manpower and fight against Lu Ting and Qiu Kui head-on, but in front of the owners of the strongest auxiliary and most destructive professional cards, their counterattacks were insignificant.

Eventually, the backbone members of the team were slaughtered one after another and turned into amnesiacs.

The opponent's leader held out until the last moment, only to be defeated miserably by the revenge of Lu Ting and Qiu Kui. No matter how unwilling the opponent was, he could only die in hatred after all his cards were taken away, and became a member of the amnesiac army.

In the days that followed, the two spent most of their time together.

For those who are collecting memories, the cycle day is not a stagnant point, but a line extending forward.

But no matter who it is, no one knows where this infinitely extending line will eventually lead to.

No one knows where the end is, what the end looks like, or maybe there is no so-called "end" at all.

Even the best of friends will have quarrels and conflicts over certain things after spending a long time together.

Qiu Kui and Lu Ting had a dispute due to some differences in cognition and ideas, and both of them had the character that neither would give in. As a result, they parted ways because of a seemingly trivial matter.

After preserving the memory for more than five hundred cycles, I have become accustomed to all of this.

Especially Qiu Kui's [Shadow] ability, which is very powerful. As long as she doesn't take risks and doesn't commit suicide, basically most of the levels and scenes can handle her.

And most of the time, she only needs to rely on a team of memory collectors to obtain enough [memory] for her use.

She didn't have much drive.

In other words, her temperament was like a shadow in the darkness, stable, not agitated at all, and quiet, as if she didn't exist.

Essentially, Qiu Kui is a rational person, and the experiences of hundreds of cycles, witnessing life and death moments, and intrigues, have turned her into a glass of mellow wine.

But no matter how rational a person is, she will have her own persistence and excitement.

However, Qiu Kui at that time was not someone that could be moved by just anyone. She was like a hermit, hiding among the many people who had recalled their past, watching the originally weak group grow stronger, watching the strong ones grow up, and then fall, and then new people would come out and repeat the previous process.

During that period, she did not specifically inquire about Lu Ting's news, but occasionally learned about the situation of this old friend from other people who remembered her.

But later, many people who had preserved the memories of hundreds of days in a cycle died one after another, and she also lost contact with Lu Ting.

This made her have an urge at some point to find this friend and ask her what she was doing and how she was doing.

But the thought only remained at the idea stage and was not actually put into action.

Maybe she thought, why didn’t Lu Ting come to see her?
She has always liked reading, and in the past few days, she has spent most of her time immersed in books, reading more than once the books that she wanted to read but didn't have time to read in the past.

The cycle day was filled with fear and a sense of crisis, but this incident was one of the few advantages she found.

Sometimes, she would go see people she considered her old friends.

For example, Xiaoxuan.

Qiu Kui had already killed the five murderers from the crew. What's interesting is that after killing the five murderers several times in a row, they disappeared completely.

Never appeared again.

The concepts of cycle day and imprisonment day also appeared at a certain period later and were known to all the memory collectors. Including the existence of the "company", level scenes and administrator mechanisms, they also became common knowledge for many senior memory collectors.

As this kind of days continued, Qiu Kui found that she seemed to have lost some purpose.

The repetitive days made her feel bored, or maybe it was because she was alone that she had some thoughts of giving up on herself.

One day, she suddenly had a strong desire to escape from the 'Tightening Day'. At the same time, she wanted to find out the truth and know the secret behind the cyclic day.

But she knew very well that this was not something she could do alone.

Countless people who have recovered their memories have the same goal in mind, but after hundreds of cycles, no one has been able to achieve this goal. Moreover, the more they explore the secret and try to break the shackles, the more terrible dangers they will encounter. Many top people who have recovered their memories have died in this process.

The reason she has survived so long is precisely because she has been playing badly and lying down.

If she had really explored this secret like others, perhaps she would have become amnesiac long ago.

One day, she suddenly heard a loud noise.

The glass in the house was shattered.

In the distance, a mushroom cloud appeared.

Apparently there was a violent explosion over there.

Qiu Kui had another interpretation of the explosion. She thought of her old friend, so after she reacted, she immediately rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

It was already a mess outside.

People screamed and fled in all directions. The closer they got to the explosion site, the more they could feel how terrible the damage caused by the explosion was.

Many tall buildings there have been destroyed, and some have collapsed directly. Even the high-rise buildings are the same, with smoke and dust everywhere, blocking out the sky.

Crowds of people kept running over there, terrified, covered in blood, and screaming, while Qiu Kui was going against the current.

Soon, the crowd dwindled, until finally there was no one around.

And this place is very close to the epicenter of the explosion.

There was a rolling heat wave coming from the front, and flames were burning in some places around. It looked like a doomsday scene.

Suddenly, a figure approached and danger came. Qiu Kui reacted very quickly. She raised her hand and a strange nail flew out. A person who was very close to her was nailed to the shadow and could not move.

【Shadow Pin】.

This is the ability that Qiu Kui obtained from his career card in the past cycle day.

It has no killing effect, but can confine the opponent's body for a short period of time.

Generally speaking, [Shadow Nail] is enough to seal a target for at least ten seconds. During this time, Qiu Kui can kill the target easily.

But this time, just as she was about to take action, the other party actually broke free from the control of the shadow nail.

The whole process only takes 3 to 4 seconds.

It is obvious that the other party is a master.

Qiu Kui frowned and was about to use more powerful means, but at this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

"Stop, I know her!"

These words were obviously directed at the other person who was recalling his memories. The latter was stunned for a moment, then retreated without hesitation.

A man walked over there.

It was Lu Ting whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
