He is infinitely reborn in a loop

Wu Yuan was sitting at the makeup table, the top of his head was still covered with a tenth level of soft light, making his face in the makeup mirror lonely and cold.

In his hand was the curling iron with ghostly symbols painted on it. Not long ago, Wu Xuan's black cloak came in and put it on the table.

A group of girls dressed in Lolita came in. They had already finished their performance, and they were all laughing and making noises, helping each other remove their makeup, and discussing where to go for supper.

He squeezed the phone with his fingertips and turned it around twice.

Time passed quietly, and he watched the group of girls leave. It was as lively as fireworks for a moment, but the eternity was silence.

Suddenly, the screen in his hand lit up.

Wu Yuan put the phone close to his ear and listened for a while, then said softly, "I'll pick you up at the east gate."

"Okay, wait for me later, I'll be here in about 10 minutes." Wu Xuan said happily on the other end of the phone.

After 10 minutes passed, Wu Yuan really saw Wu Xuan at the east gate.

Wu Xuan was wearing the familiar black Lolita, her arms were clasped tightly, and white air kept exhaling from her mouth, looking very cold.

Wu Yuan hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her body, and asked with concern: "Why don't you wear more? Where's your down jacket?"

"I forgot it at the manga exhibition booth." Wu Xuan said aggrievedly, "Aren't you in a hurry to find my brother! I have clothes in my backpack, I'll find a place to change later."

"Come in, don't blow the wind outside." Wu Yuan pulled her into the warm room.

Wu Xuan followed him in, looking around all the way, as if it was really the first time she came backstage.

She suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, there should be curling irons in the dressing room here."

Wu Yuan paused, but quickly calmed down his nervousness, and answered softly, "Yes, what are you asking for?"

"Look at me, I'm all collapsed here." Wu Xuan grabbed him and pointed to the hair behind her ears, "I don't want to appear in front of my idol like this, help me find the curling iron, remember to ask Plug it in and warm it up! I'm going to change clothes, and I'll be back to find you soon!"

"Xiaoxuan..."

But Wu Xuan quickly got into the bathroom beside her, and didn't hear what he hesitated to say.

Wu Yuan sighed heavily, turned around and walked back to the dressing room.He took out his mobile phone, and the screen showed 20:48.His fingertips hovered over the screen for a while, and he quickly turned on the camera to take a picture of the curling iron on the table.

20:49

Y: Is this a curling iron?

Sister (little girl emoji): Yes!Just plug it in and let it warm up, I'll be over in a few minutes.

Wu Yuan doesn't have the habit of writing notes, because there are very few people he can chat with, and he can distinguish them by recognizing their profile pictures or chat records.

This remark was changed by Wu Xuan herself, and she insisted on adding an emoji to show it's special.

Wu Yuan took out the curling iron, but didn't plug it in.He looked up at the flashing red camera in the corner, then moved his body to block the table.

He knew that Wu Xuan could see the surveillance, and he also knew that once the curling iron was powered on, he would be sent to the next cycle.

With a tap of his fingertips, a message was sent.

The time quietly approached 20:55. Wu Xuan opened the door of the dressing room. She changed into a beige sweater and a black skirt. She looked like an ordinary girl.

Wu Xuan first looked at the curling iron on the table, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually dropped.

She asked: "You know?"

Wu Yuan answered irrelevantly: "This symbol was drawn by me when I was young."

Obviously this answer surprised Wu Xuan.

Wu Yuan continued: "Fatty, you, me, and parents."

He held the curling iron in his hand, and traced the lines gently with his fingertips. The immature strokes and the whimsical sense of space, a cat and four people are hidden in this ghostly symbol-like pattern.

"You've already remembered." Wu Xuan said in a deep voice, the surprise faded away.

"Xiaoxuan." Wu Yuan tried to make his voice sound calm, "If you can relieve your anger by doing this, I can go on in this cycle forever. But, you still have a bright future, why do you want to trap yourself in the cycle where?"

Wu Xuan shook her head: "Brother, it's never the cycle that traps you and me."

"I'm sorry." Wu Yuan said seriously. He owed this apology for 15 years. Wu Xuan has been living in his shadow since she was five years old, but he never realized it.

Wu Yuan continued: "I'm sorry Xiaoxuan, as an older brother, I never really cared about you, and I don't even know what major you study. So you have won so many awards in school..."

He swiped across the phone screen, and Wu Xuan's circle of friends was displayed on the page.Wu Xuan is a girl who loves to share her life. Every day, even if she has nothing to share, she will take a selfie and post it.There will be a bunch of likes at the bottom, but there has never been Wu Yuan there.

"So my younger sister is such a cute girl." Wu Yuan's eyes were slightly red, "So many people like her, I should check on her. I shouldn't be absent from her graduation ceremony... maybe a lot Things won’t go this far.”

"To be honest," Wu Xuan took a deep breath after hearing him finish, "There is no feeling of relief. You are not a person who looks back, and I am not a person who needs pity from others. Really There is no way to stop, you should know me."

Wu Yuan knew she was talking about reincarnation.

The same blood flowed in their bodies, Wu Yuan naturally understood that when she decided to start the cycle, she never thought of leaving a way out.

Wu Yuan lightly turned on the screen, and the time showed 21:06.

He asked, "Trust me?"

Wu Xuan looked at him and said honestly, "I never doubted it."

Wu Yuan clicked on the timer app on his phone, and there was a countdown running in it, with 2 minutes and 10 seconds remaining.

"My sister really understands me very well." He raised his hand and rubbed Wu Xuan's hair that was loose behind her ears.He seemed to have touched like this when he was a child. Every time he found Wu Xuan following him, Wu Xuan would cry and pretend to be hurt by him.

When he was at a loss what to do, Wu Xuan would make a funny face and say "I'm just kidding, you're scared"—just like that, little by little, he opened the door of his heart.

"Brother, don't pull me." Wu Xuan frowned slightly, and said with her mouth curled up, "It hurts."

"Don't cry."

"I didn't cry, you are the crybaby."

Wu Yuan smiled at her, then picked up the curling iron at hand.

The countdown was slowly approaching the last few seconds, he reached out to Wu Xuan, and pushed her away with a palm.Wu Xuan didn't guard against unsteady feet and fell directly to the ground.

At the same time, he picked up the plug of the curling iron, pointed it at the power strip on the table without hesitation, and plugged it in.

"elder brother!!"

The world went dark for an instant.

The entire venue was in an uproar, and many people were running around in the aisles—someone tripped over something on the side of the road, some shouted not to panic and calm down, some people questioned why the backup power supply was not turned on, and there were screams one after another.

Someone was weeping in the dark.

Someone turned on the phone screen, and there was a countdown on the screen.

"Wu Yu, I have a solution."

"No matter how dangerous it is, as long as you say it."

"You still remember the last cycle..." Wu Yuan lowered his head and took out a small medicine box from his pocket, "After I died, did you take the medicine immediately?"

"Yes." Wu Yu picked up the small medicine box and asked, "What did you think of?"

"According to Wu Xuan, you and I have memories that are both bugs, so what is the reverse cycle? Assuming that the entire cycle is a precise program, something as decisive as the reverse cycle will never be a bug."

Wu Yu thought for a while: "You analyzed the reverse cycle before. Whenever you or I die in the cycle, we will enter the reverse cycle until we go back to 18 o'clock. And the other person can't restart until 0 o'clock."

"But I didn't enter the reverse cycle last time." Wu Yuan said, "It is the time of your death, which determines whether the reverse cycle is activated or not. If you are not dead, I will enter the reverse cycle. If you are close to At the time of my death, or if we die at the same time, the reverse cycle will not start."

"Even if the reverse cycle is not turned on, we will cycle again." Wu Yu said worriedly.

Wu Yuan thought for a moment: "...Maybe we are not bugs at all."

"What do you mean?" Wu Yu was puzzled.

Wu Yuan smiled at him, and said mysteriously: "The person who is looking for the key holds the key in his hand."

"Teacher Wu, don't be a riddler." Wu Yuxiong hugged Wu Yuan, leaned his head on the other's shoulder, and muttered, "Tell me, tell me quickly."

Wu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the end of his hair, and then said: "My time is shrinking every time I cycle, but you wake up at 18 o'clock, so the time difference between you and me has become a frozen cycle .For a loop with so little space left, there must be a way to connect each seemingly independent part..."

Suddenly, Wu Yu kissed the side of Wu Yuan who was talking.

"I see what you mean," he said.

Wu Yuan looked at him sideways: "Then are you willing to take a risk for me?"

"Of course." Wu Yu's eyes sparkled, "I'm not afraid to give my life for you, because life and death can't separate us."

In the darkness, in the two parallel worlds, they pressed the countdown at the same time.

Wu Yuan's whole body was turned upside down, and after he followed Wu Xuan in and out, he even reached the east gate of the venue.It was really, really cold outside, but Wu Xuan stayed alone in the small corner of the east gate for a long time.

Although everything is rewinding in the reverse cycle, for people who do not move, rewinding is almost like standing still.

Wu Xuan didn't play with her mobile phone, nor chat with the fans guarding the east gate, but just quietly looked at the sky, even though the sky was as black as ink.

What she was thinking, Wu Yuan didn't know.

Just because of this situation, he wanted to hug her very much.

As the countdown quietly approached the last minute, Wu Yu sat in his jeep and took out the small medicine box that was originally on Wu Yuan's body.

The moment he swallowed the medicine without hesitation, the world in which Wu Yuan lived was paused, all noisy and strange sounds returned to silence, and all bizarre and unimaginable reversals came to a standstill.

Wu Yuan rubbed his cold hands and clicked on the phone screen.

On that is another countdown, only 17 minutes.

The wind was blowing on the rooftop, surrounded by yellow and green fluorescent headlights.Standing on the edge, Wu Yuan poked his head slightly to look outside.

——It is indeed a bit high.

He had fought Cheng Ling here before, and the little girl with sequins on the end of her eyes was not a very vicious person.When she stumbled and fell down, Wu Yuan couldn't bear it.

He is not what Wu Xuan said - he will not look back, but when he stops and looks back and sees that there is only one way to come, he will continue to walk forward.

The scenery elsewhere is of course very good, and this road is actually not bad.

When there were only ten seconds left in the countdown, Wu Yuan closed his eyes and fell into the vast space.

There was no sound, he didn't wait for the pain he imagined.

He heard the wind blowing through the dry treetops in the distance, as if someone was walking on the snow, the rustling sound of stepping on the snow seemed to be nothing, and the occasional barking of dogs pierced the silence.

But he didn't feel cold, instead he felt like he was in a stove.

Wu Yuan opened his heavy eyelids and moved his stiff neck.He was sitting in a dark room with a stove against the wall, burning briquettes.

Almost instantly, he remembered where this place was.

Relying on his vague memory, he stood up and pushed open the door—the square yard was covered with snow all over the ground.

A wild cat was attracted by the sound of the door opening, and was facing Wu Yuan.After looking at each other for a few seconds, the wild cats didn't panic at all. Instead, they stepped on the pool nimbly, jumped onto the roof, and left lightly.

This is Wu Yuan's childhood home.

The cat seemed chubby, but his bulky body couldn't jump up to the roof, nor could he catch up with the shadow of the cat in the distance, so he had to accept all the mocking eyes and digest it silently.

There was a light on in the room opposite Wu Yuan, which was Wu Xuan's room.

He walked straight over and opened the door.Wu Xuan was half lying on the bed, looking out the window in a daze.

Wu Yuan called softly: "Xiaoxuan?"

Wu Xuan turned her head when she heard the sound, and smiled at him: "Brother." She picked up the book at hand and held it in the air, "I can't sleep, brother, please read me a bedtime story."

Wu Yuan walked to her side, pulled out the chair next to her and sat down.He took the book, which was a torn picture album. From the incomplete half, it was not difficult to see that the original name of the book was the "Blue Mouse and the Big-Faced Cat" that they all loved to read when they were young.

"Okay." Wu Yuan opened the album and read, "Today our friends, the little blue mouse and the big-faced cat came to the woods..."

Wu Xuan slowly closed her eyes in his calm voice, like all the noisy children who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

Wu Yuan raised his head, it was about to dawn outside the window.

He got up slowly and went out to buy some breakfast.He remembered that the steamed buns were sold next door to their house, and Wu Xuan liked it very much.

The old man selling buns got up early and listened to the old radio.

Wu Yuan greeted: "Master, come to the cage."

"Okay! Is the bean curd coming?" The uncle asked, and he had already picked up a bowl to fill it in. "As the saying goes, the steamed buns are served with bean curd, and you will be happy after eating them!"

Where is this old saying, why hasn't he heard it?Wu Yuan was amused by this sentence and laughed.

A city report came from the radio on the side - "Today is February 2022, 2, the 22nd of the first month of the lunar calendar. The heavy snow that has fallen all night has finally stopped, and most of the city will be sunny today..."

The warm sun jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds, washing the gray sky, and the sun blew across every yard. Some people were washing, some were doing Tai Chi, some were feeding cats and dogs, and some were hurriedly wearing their ties. The briefcase is going out—

The whole alley started another day of noise.

The author has something to say:

It's over, there's a side story.Of course you want to watch the extra episode!And my broken thoughts are in the speech outside the episode.
