I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

On a relatively normal afternoon, the bureau had already released the results and was preparing to begin announcing the outcome of this elegant murder case.

……

[The following is a report on the home invasion murder that occurred at 5 a.m. on May 20 in our city:]

The victim Wen was killed at home in the early morning of May 5. After receiving the report, the police tried their best to track down the suspect Chen and brought back his body on June 20. They verified that he was the murderer through examination and evidence. The suspect Chen committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the case was closed.

The Public Security Department reminds you to be vigilant about your personal safety and prevent home invasion crimes.

……

8pm.

The report of this case was reported in major media and became even more popular due to Wen Ya's identity. For a time, the discussion about Wen Ya was all the rage.

"Wen Ya, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yunduo leaned over to look at Wen Ya who was in a daze. Seeing that she was staring at the news motionlessly, she asked curiously.

"Well, I wasn't thinking about anything." Wen Ya, who was called, blinked and looked at Zhao Yunduo and smiled.

“Oh…” Zhao Yunduo nodded, not quite understanding.

"Don't disturb her, come here first." Yang Liu saw Zhao Yunduo was harassing Wen Ya, so she waved and called Zhao Yunduo away.

Zhao Yunduo turned around to look at Yang Liu, then at Wen Ya, then stood up and followed Yang Liu to the bedroom.

"Tell me something you've been hiding." Yang Liu was the first to sit down on the bed, crossed her legs, folded her hands on her knees, and looked at Zhao Yunduo in an interrogative tone.

"Ah..." Zhao Yunduo looked at Yang Liu's posture, and stood timidly by the door, forcing a smile, "What?"

"Close the door and don't let Wen Ya hear it." Yang Liu raised his head and signaled for someone to close the door.

After hearing this, Zhao Yunduo closed the door reluctantly, and then stood in front of Yang Liu like a child being scolded.

"Loop, resurrection, backtracking, what do you know about them?" Yang Liu naturally went straight to the point. She didn't like beating around the bush, especially now that the mission was urgent. She didn't want to waste extra time on useless things.

"Hmm...where should I start?"

Zhao Yunduo pinched her fingers and frowned as if she was struggling. Yang Liu tapped her legs with her fingers impatiently and sighed, trying to calm down. "Follow the order."

"Well, you said."

Yang Liu just looked at her, waiting for her to explain.

“It all started when I first found myself in the world of a novel.”

……

Zhao Yunduo was born in this novel world. At first, she didn't find anything wrong. But one day, she woke up after falling asleep and suddenly found that she had returned to her childhood. At that time, Zhao Yunduo connected all the things together and found something wrong. Then she realized that she was in a world similar to a novel. Zhao Yunduo found the first cycle very interesting. She corrected the mistakes she made in her childhood one by one and felt complacent about having obtained the "golden finger". However, all this began to become abnormal after the second cycle.

A repetitive life may seem interesting the first time, but the second time it will no longer seem novel, but terrifying. The expression on Zhao Yunduo's face became somewhat painful, and her beautiful facial features became somewhat hideous. She pinched her knuckles tightly and took a few deep breaths before she could steady her voice.

"I woke up again and returned to my childhood. They were like robots, repeating their actions and conversations over and over again. No matter what I did, they continued to operate as if they were programmed. Only I felt the passage of time. The same life was so boring."

Zhao Yunduo pinched her palm hard, leaving several crescent-shaped marks. Red bloodshot crept up her eyeballs. She stared blankly ahead as if she was staring at something in a trance, and then continued speaking as if muttering to herself.

"I repeated it the first time, the second time, and the third time. I finally tried to break away from the original track and came to the police station that was responsible for the Wen Ya case to become a forensic doctor. However, life seemed to remain unchanged. The people around me still had an inexplicable sense of isolation from me. I could not fit in, nor could I drag them into my time. The loneliness in the bustling scene was almost torturing me crazy."

Zhao Yunduo rubbed her hair irritably, and her whole look became a little messy and gloomy. Yang Liu raised her hand and patted her shoulder. Then Zhao Yunduo suddenly grabbed her hand as if she saw some hope, and looked up into her eyes with her arms shaking, and even her voice trembled a little.

"You know, I know everything. When I found out that everything was going on because of Wen Ya, I almost wanted to grab her by the collar and ask her why. But when I asked someone else to approach her and ask her that question, she looked confused and bewildered. I knew that all this had nothing to do with her. She didn't know either. She had become the source of someone's pain."

Zhao Yunduo seemed to be concerned about the elegance outside the house, so her voice became much softer. If Yang Liu hadn't been close to her, one would have hardly been able to hear what she was saying.

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Grace is everything..."

"No, another sentence."

"She, she doesn't know...?"

"Correct."

Yang Liu nodded in response, then raised her hand to stop Zhao Yunduo from talking. This person seemed to be getting more and more excited. If he continued, he might have a mental breakdown. "Okay, I get it. You should take a rest."

Yang Liu came closer and patted Zhao Yunduo, stroked her back and calmed her down. However, Zhao Yunduo seemed to have thought of something and held Yang Liu's hand again with shining eyes.

"But I think all this will end soon, Yang Liu, you will definitely break this cycle, you will definitely be able to break this cycle!"

She seemed to have placed all her hopes on Yang Liu, and the last syllable of her voice even carried a hint of pleading. She seemed to be really going crazy. Her usual calmness was gone, and she looked fragile and pitiful. He held her carefully, fearing that she would let go and leave.

"I can't guarantee it." Yang Liu wanted to agree, but she stopped herself and changed her words.

Zhao Yunduo looked at Yang Liu and was silent for a moment, looking a little dejected as if he had lost his strength.

"It's okay, it's okay... I believe..."

Zhao Yunduo no longer held Yang Liu. After sighing, he got up and left under the pretext of drinking water. When he opened the door, he saw Wen Ya standing outside. The two looked at each other at a loss, pretended to be busy, greeted each other hurriedly, and then walked away.

Wen Ya looked at Yang Liu who was sitting on the bed, opened her mouth and then closed it.

"Wenya, do you have anything to say?"

"Ah? No, no, I'm a little hungry, Yang Liu."

"Order takeout, I'm a little tired today."

"Okay, okay, I want to eat braised chicken."
