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

"I miss you too. We miss you too, baby. Really. After we came back, we missed you so much that we almost went crazy..."

Hei Xia Zi's voice also began to become hoarse. He raised his hand and pressed Qiuyue's little head in his arms. His eyes under the sunglasses had already turned red. In front of Qiuyue, Wu Xie, who was squatting, held the little hand in his hand even tighter. His throat was so dry that he could not speak at all.

She missed them, so why didn't they miss her too?

After leaving her and returning to their own world (entering the illusion), they also frantically searched for a way to come to her world, just to be able to see her again. However, how could they find a way to travel through time, which is a miracle? After half a year of searching and countless tomb visits, they ultimately failed and could not find any information about time travel. At that time, they even fell into despair for a while, and could not eat or sleep. They were not much better off than Qiuyue.

Then how did they get back here?

Wu Xie couldn't help but recall the scene (illusion) that happened before he returned to this world: when the four of them crawled out of the last cemetery, full of despair and collapse, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder roared again, and the mud all over their bodies was soaked through. Then there was a flash of lightning, covering their vision. When they opened their eyes again, everything in front of them was the familiar room, and the equipment on their bodies had returned to the one they wore when they first came to her house, dry and clean.

But why did it suddenly change?

Wu Xie's red eyes trembled slightly, and he felt more and more uncomfortable looking at the person who was being held in Hei Xia Zi's arms and coaxed.

Why, when they returned to her world in the beginning, did she suddenly change and commit suicide in front of them?

The sudden appearance of the long sword, the action that made people unable to react in time, and the dazzling sword light with the splattering of hot scarlet, made the four people who were still full of joy stunned for a moment. By the time they reacted, she had collapsed on the bed, the bright red soaked the snow-white sheets, and also made their eyes red.

Why and what happened that made her commit suicide in front of them?

Wu Xie couldn’t figure it out, and neither could they.

They had really collapsed at that time, roaring and shouting, and rushed towards her almost crazily, but it was all too late. When they hugged her, she had completely stopped breathing, leaving only boiling hot liquid still pouring out of the wound, and her body temperature gradually dropped as the liquid was lost, making them extremely desperate.

"Why?! Why is it like this!! Yue'er!!!"

Wu Xie still remembers his desperate roar at that time. He hugged her body tightly, as if this could prevent her from losing body temperature. However, that was just his wishful thinking. She died, died in his own hands, died under the long sword that appeared from nowhere, died in front of their eyes, and never opened her eyes again.

So how do they know that the "world" can be restarted?

In fact, at the beginning, they didn't know that they could restart. They surrounded her body, ignoring the coagulated blood on her body, and guarded her in complete silence. Their minds were completely blank. They were at a loss like never before, just like a child who broke a bowl for the first time. They stood by her side stiffly, without taking any next action. It was not until an unknown amount of time had passed that the morning sun poured in from the window the next day, and they seemed to be awakened. They began to help their beloved girl tidy up the body - they wanted her to sleep cleanly.

"what is this?"

That was the first time Xie Yuchen spoke after his hysterical roar. His voice was extremely hoarse and his words were a little slow. Wu Xie and the other two looked over when they heard his words, and this sight made them stunned.

What they saw in the wound that was so deep that the bone was exposed was not the image of human tissue being cut, but a pitch-black hole that was difficult to see clearly. When Xie Yuchen reached out to touch it, they were shocked to find that the pitch-black hole had suddenly become larger. When they came to their senses, the black crack had exceeded the original size of her neck and was even expanding outward.

what is this? !!

The four men's minds were still somewhat dazed after their extreme collapse, but the sense of crisis they had accumulated over the years still made them aware of something was wrong. Zhang Qiling almost immediately wanted to snatch her body back, but the crack itself had come from the wound in her throat, so how could he separate from it? By the time they fully regained consciousness, the crack had grown alarmingly large and expanded at an astonishing speed. In just a few seconds, the four were swallowed by the pitch-black crack. When they opened their eyes again, they were faced with a familiar scene.

The world has restarted.

After the first restart, an extra message appeared in the four people's minds. The message told them that their beloved ones were trapped by something and were unconscious. They were asked to try their best to stop her and make her wake up. If they failed, they could commit suicide and enter the next restart early.

This sounds ridiculous, right? The four of them thought so too. At the beginning, they did not believe the news. However, when they saw her committing suicide again and the wound turned into a black crack again in the morning, they finally believed it.

"The eighth time."

This was the first number they read out. After several consecutive failures, they collapsed and gradually began to think. From the beginning when Zhang Qiling stopped her from committing suicide, to the subsequent time when he always paid attention to her not to commit suicide, they experienced tens of thousands of reincarnations. When Qiuyue came, they had let her "live" for the third day, but at the last moment, when she conjured up the sword again, Zhang Qiling did not reach out to stop her, but watched her commit suicide again in front of him.

Will you really not commit suicide again this time?

Wu Xie came back to his senses in a daze, looking at Qiuyue who had been crying for a long time, his heart still aching.

He had seen her commit suicide too many times, and now her extremely lively appearance was like a dream, which made him feel very unreal. Even though half a day had passed and he had been with her for a while, he still felt like a dream.

Can I really see the day when she wakes up?

To be honest, Wu Xie and the others were somewhat numb to the thought of their loved ones committing suicide. Over 30,000 times—anyone who saw someone commit suicide over 30,000 times would feel numb. But they liked her too much, truly loved her too much. That love didn't let them give up on her. Instead, it fueled their obsession, making them increasingly yearn for her to wake up, to be alive. That was why, even before her final suicide attempt, Wu Xie still broke down and questioned Zhang Qiling, asking why he hadn't saved her—they had finally managed to keep her alive until the third day, so why hadn't they been able to stop her?!

At this point, some people might be curious. Because Qiuyue didn't share her inner thoughts with them this time, they were briefly wary. If we extrapolate this information back, doesn't that prove that Qiuyue had shared inner thoughts with them tens of thousands of times before? So, didn't they hear anything?

Answer: Yes, although "Qiuyue" did have some inner thoughts during those tens of thousands of times, they were all confused and incoherent. The four of them could not hear anything from those inner thoughts at all. Instead, they became more convinced of the message in their minds at the beginning, that she was trapped by something and was not conscious.

Previous second: [I hate rainy days, I want to eat outside] - go outside in the rain

Next second: [They are not people I know, I hate dirty things] - Suicide by sword

Who can really tell what she really wants from such a psychopathic whisper?!

It wasn't just those incomprehensible words in her heart, but in those tens of thousands of restarts, "Qiuyue" always caught them off guard. Not only did she become extremely difficult to communicate with, she wouldn't even let them get close to her. Once they tried to get close, she would immediately start shouting and produce a sword in her hand. If they were a step slower, she would have to commit suicide on the spot in front of them, causing this restart to end in failure.

Someone might ask, can't she just put away her sword? Without the sword, she can't commit suicide!

Do you think the four of them couldn't think of this?

They tried to take her sword away on the thirteenth time, but as soon as Zhang Qiling took the sword away, it suddenly turned back into a bracelet and was put back on her hand. Even if they really tricked the sword into her, she would randomly go to the kitchen to get a knife or scissors, and hit her neck without hesitation. Later, they even tried to tie her up with a rope, but in the end she ended up biting her tongue and committing suicide.

Haven't they tried hard?

This is an endless cycle of nightmares, but no matter how painful and desperate it is, they still grit their teeth and persevere. Each restart that is a little later than the last is considered progress, because they found that the more times they stopped her, the less crazy she became about wanting to commit suicide. From wanting to draw her sword and commit suicide all the time on the first day, to wanting to do it five or six times an hour on the third day, this is the best encouragement for them, and the reason why they still want to keep trying even though they have experienced it tens of thousands of times and are a little numb - it is not really beyond saving.
