Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

"That's enough, restart..."

After Wu Xie finished roaring, Xie Yuchen spoke again, and as soon as he finished speaking, Hei Xia Zi next to him slowly squatted down and reached out to pick up the long sword in the pool of blood.

!!!

At this point, Qiuyue could no longer stand. Although she didn't know what the "restart" they were talking about was, after seeing Hei Xia Zi pick up the sword, she knew it was definitely not a good thing, so she didn't continue to watch, but instead ran towards them while shouting loudly: "Wu Xie!! Hua..."

When no sound came out of her throat, Qiuyue, who had just shouted three words, suddenly stopped. She raised her hand and touched her throat in disbelief, unable to believe that she had not shouted out any words.

Not only is she walking silently, but she's not even allowed to talk?!

Just when Qiuyue was shocked by her "loss of voice", Hei Xiazi, who had picked up the long sword, had already stood up. Qiuyue quickly gave up worrying about her own voice and raised her head. The next second, everything that happened in front of her made her mind go blank in an instant.

"laugh!"

Hei Xia Zi, holding the long sword, raised his head and stabbed at Jie Yuchen beside him. Qiuyue only heard the sound of a very difficult weapon piercing flesh and blood. The sharp long sword pierced into Jie Yuchen's heart. In an instant, bright red blood gushed out wildly, soaking Jie Yuchen's clothes into scarlet, and also dyed Qiuyue's eyes red in an instant.

"Do not!!!!"

Qiuyue rushed towards them like crazy, silent screams coming out of her mouth. She tried to release her healing energy to save them, but she couldn't use any of it. She couldn't even fly towards them. She couldn't fly!

Hei Xia Zi was extremely fast. After stabbing Jie Yuchen's heart, he quickly drew out his sword and slashed at Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling. Qiuyue saw two streams of blood spurting out, and the two people whose necks were cut fell to the ground instantly. When she finally rushed to the four people, Hei Xia Zi had already hung the sword on their throats and cut a fourth cut that would spray out boiling liquid.

"laugh!!"

Qiuyue, who was just one step away from arriving, had her face drenched in the splattered blood. She looked at the person falling in front of her, listened to the clanging sound of the long sword hitting the pool of blood, felt the hot liquid on her face, and smelled the fishy-sweet smell that made her despair. In an instant, she lost her strength and knelt down in the pool of blood with a thud. Her head was buzzing, and she was completely stunned by the stimulation of all this.

what is this?

Qiuyue trembled and slowly lowered her head. She looked at the blood stains on her body, looked at her hands stained with scarlet as she pressed on the pool of blood, and finally slowly turned her head to look at the distance between herself and the stairs. Her brain was completely confused.

Why couldn't she speak? Why couldn't she make any sound? Why did it take so long for her to run down the stairs to them, as if the path had suddenly lengthened? Why couldn't she release healing energy, or even fly? Why did they commit suicide? What was a reboot? And who was this person who looked exactly like her? Was this an illusion they had created? But why would the illusion commit suicide? Shouldn't it have been harmonious with them, allowing them to remain immersed in the illusion?

Questions popped up in Qiuyue's head one after another. She looked at the five people lying in front of her, and suddenly she missed Yunyun a little.

It would be great if Yunyun was here, so that she could help detect all these problems, and she wouldn't have to be like a headless fly, knowing nothing.

Qiuyue, who was completely shocked by all this, was now completely numb. She sat in a daze on the still warm pool of blood. She felt like her computer had crashed and she didn't know what to do.

Having lost her healing ability, she could do nothing but watch them die.

"Susu..."

I don’t know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, or maybe even longer. When the pool of blood on the ground turned cold and began to solidify, Qiuyue, who had been sitting there, suddenly heard a subtle sound. Her eyes, which had been stunned for a long time, suddenly moved, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. This look made her come back to her senses in shock.

In the surrounding environment, dark space cracks suddenly appeared in the air. The environment wherever the cracks passed was turned into fragments of various sizes. As the cracks expanded, the fragments fell down. In just a few seconds, several cracks occupied most of the surrounding space and began to attack them.

! !

Qiuyue instantly woke up from her daze. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the people lying beside her, but it was too late. When she looked at them, several cracks that had appeared at noon had spread here. Qiuyue didn't even have time to reach out her hand. The four of them, along with the corpse that looked like her, fell straight into the dark crack and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Do not!!"

Qiuyue screamed in fear again, and this time, her voice finally rang out. However, Qiuyue was too busy to pay attention to it at the moment. She almost subconsciously leaned towards the crack. Just as she was about to put her hand in, the dark crack swallowed her up first. In an instant, Qiuyue fell into darkness, and all the sounds disappeared instantly.

*

"Boom!"

When a muffled thunder that sounded inexplicably familiar suddenly rang out, Qiuyue, who was trapped in the darkness, suddenly felt inexplicably familiar, as if she had experienced such a scene several times. Especially when she felt that the darkness in front of her eyes had changed from pitch black to just the darkness when her eyes were closed, and from time to time a few flashes of lightning shone through her eyelids for her to sense, she felt even more familiar.

Is this, back to the beginning? When she first met them?

Qiuyue, who had noticed all these changes, suddenly felt her heart start beating faster. She did not open her eyes immediately, but continued to listen to everything around her, and had a vague guess in her heart.

The restart they mentioned earlier, couldn’t it be restarting the illusion, restarting everything?

In other words, they are actually still alive, and there is a high probability that they actually know that this is not a normal world?

Could the hundreds of times they mentioned before be the number of times they restarted the illusion?

Although there was no concrete evidence to prove that what she thought was correct, Qiuyue believed that her guess was correct, especially when she heard the breathing of the three people in the room suddenly become heavier and they began to speak in low voices.

"Shouldn't she be awake by now? Why hasn't she woken up yet..." - Wu Xie

“…Wait a moment…” — Xie Yuchen

"It's past time." - Zhang Qiling

Compared to their extremely hoarse voices before, Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen, who lowered their voices at this moment, had returned to the normal voices in Qiuyue's memory. Obviously, after the illusion was restarted, all their previous states were refreshed, including their voices. Therefore, it can be inferred that in the previous illusion, after that "Qiuyue" committed suicide, they must have screamed in despair to cause their voices to be so hoarse.

Qiuyue listened to their conversation and became more certain of her guess.

Only after repeating it many times will one remember a certain specific time very clearly, such as the second when she was awakened by thunder.

Just as Qiuyue was still thinking, a quick sound of footsteps came quickly. According to memory, it should be the black bear going outside to check if there was any danger.

“…Not awake?”

A few seconds after entering the house, Hei Xia Zi's slightly surprised voice rang out. Xie Yuchen hummed, his voice a little low: "He's not awake yet. He's out of time."

"Three minutes."

Wu Xie murmured a time, and Qiuyue couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart when she heard him say such an accurate time.

How much care does one have to have to pay attention to such details?

Thinking of this, Qiuyue, who originally wanted to listen to the situation for a while longer, stopped pretending to be asleep. She hummed as if she had just woken up and began to move her body. In an instant, the few people who had been whispering just now suddenly became quiet, as if they were afraid of scaring her.

"Well……"

Qiuyue slowly sat up and pretended to be sleepy as she slowly opened her eyes. Just at this moment, lightning flashed outside the window. The instantaneous brightness clearly illuminated the four figures standing there, which made Qiuyue's nose sore all of a sudden.

They had just committed suicide in front of her a few minutes ago.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

It was a familiar opening line, a familiar voice, but the part where her mouth was covered was missing. It was probably because she woke up at the wrong time, which caught them off guard for a moment. Zhang Qiling didn't have time to come over to cover her mouth, resulting in only Jie Yuchen's opening line.

Qiuyue looked at them, her eyes reddened and tears began to overflow uncontrollably, looking as if she was frightened. The four people were not surprised to see this, but they did not know that Qiuyue was crying not because she was frightened by them, but because after seeing them, the longing and heartache in her heart could not be suppressed and burst out.

"Wu Xie, Hua Hua, Brother, and the blind man..."

Qiuyue lifted the quilt and sat down on the edge of the bed, shouting with a trembling voice. This shout made the tiny light in the four people's eyes dim instantly, and a hint of self-mockery appeared on Wu Xie's face.

He thought it would be different.

------Dividing line------

I'm stuck here, so stuck I feel like a rat. I can't write more than a few hundred words in three hours. It's painful, sob, sob, it's killing me.
