I studied beheading in a mental institution

Hearing this sentence, everyone present was stunned at the same time.

"The era of disconnection, the closed area, the materials that appeared out of thin air..." Cao Yuan muttered for a moment, as if thinking of something, "Why does it sound so similar..."

"'Human Circle'?!" Lin Qiye's pupils shrank slightly.

Originally, Lin Qiye didn't realize this at all, but when An Qingyu said this, Lin Qiye immediately recalled what happened in Japan.

As An Qingyu said, all the special points they have discovered so far are too similar to the characteristics of the "circle of people", but the two are completely different levels of existence in terms of size and scale.There are tens of millions of people living in Japan's "human circle", and the area it occupies is even more terrifying. However, this small fishing village has less than a hundred people, and it is only a small area the size of a palm.

"But it doesn't make sense?" Lin Qiye thought for a moment, then shook his head again and again, "Shouldn't the 'circle of people' be attached to a certain artifact? Also, where does the energy that supports this 'circle of people' come from? Here should There is no huge soul consumption reserve like Japan, right?"

"Qiye is right. Although this place is similar to the 'circle of people', it is not the 'circle of people'."

An Qingyu took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, spread it on the ground, and everyone gathered around to watch it carefully.

"I sneaked into the small store in this fishing village last night and found this purchase list." An Qingyu pointed to the items on it and said seriously, "This small store buys goods once every three days. Where does each kind of goods come from?" Come, what is the cost, it is clearly written on it."

"What does this mean?" Baili Pangpang asked puzzled.

"It means that these materials did not appear out of thin air." Lin Qiye replied, "If it is a 'circle of people', these materials should appear in an unimaginable form. From the perspective of the people who live in it, they should be similar to miracles. For example, in Japan's "people's circle", all electrical energy is burned by the Yata mirror, and then supplied to other electrical equipment entering the city in [Pure Land].

But it is different here, the materials here are indeed produced in other places, and then transported into this village. "

"But... Isn't this place closed? How did these goods come in?" Cao Yuan became more and more confused, and he pointed to the names on the purchase list, "Also, didn't these companies have long been Bankrupt? How can you still buy them?"

"This is where the problem lies." An Qingyu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "I thought about it last night and sorted out all the possibilities. There is only one way to explain everything. possible……"

Everyone held their breath, waiting for An Qingyu's answer.

"Here, trapped by time."

Looking at the bewildered expressions of everyone, An Qingyu continued to explain, "Judging from all the current signs, this is indeed a village that existed more than 50 years ago. The small store that buys goods from the outside every three days goes out to sea every day to catch fish. Fishermen, fathers waiting for their sons who went out to come back... They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. If you ignore the borders around the village, this is an unusual fishing village.

However, for some reason, the time here is out of touch with the outside world, forming a closed loop. "

An Qingyu picked up a branch from the ground and drew a straight line and a circle.

"If the normal flow of time is a straight line forward, then the time in this village is a ring connected head to tail.

Under the normal passage of external time, people here keep repeating a certain period of time. When this period of time reaches the end of the closed loop, it is like pressing the reset button, and all people and things will return to Starting point, continue to repeat.

This period of time may be one day, two days, or three days... In the outside world, more than 50 years have passed, everything here is cycled within these few days, the supplies are endless, and people will not age , Everything that happened in these few days will repeat itself over and over again. "

Hearing An Qingyu's bold conjecture, the rest of the [Night Curtain] team was dumbfounded, and even Lin Qiye couldn't believe it:

"A closed time loop that has existed for more than 50 years? Is it really possible?"

"Human beings can't do it, but gods... maybe they can." An Qingyu glanced at the fishing village and continued, "I suspect that in this fishing village, there is someone or something that triggers the law of time. , to maintain the closed-loop operation of time."

time……

Hearing these two words, for some reason, Lin Qiye's mind reappeared the figure of the silver-haired old man drifting alone among the waves in a boat.

Is there any connection between this king face, who is suspected to be from the future, and the current situation of this fishing village?

"But if all this is really man-made, then what is his purpose?" Shen Qingzhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "This is just a small fishing village on the border of Daxia, there is nothing special about it, why would it cost so much , creating a closed time loop here?"

"Apart from time, is there really nothing special here? Or have we not discovered it yet?" An Qingyu asked back.

At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to think of something, "Yes."

Everyone turned to look at Lin Qiye.

"Last night, I communicated with the nocturnal creatures in this fishing village and scattered around looking for clues, but soon I discovered..."

A touch of night spread in Lin Qiye's eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the soil under his feet in the air. The night tore the surface of the earth, revealing the thick layer of soil below.

In the soil, insects and ants lay dead in it, their stumps were scattered, and their death conditions were extremely miserable.

"It's all dead." Lin Qiye continued, "First the ants, then the centipedes, and then the bats... In one night, all nocturnal creatures died."

"It's not just nocturnal creatures." An Qingyu closed his eyes and felt it for a while, with an extremely solemn expression, "The few mice I planted 'fish seeds' last night have all died..."

"What's the situation?" Baili Pangpang scratched his head, and said half-jokingly, "Is the special thing here, the automatic pest control?"

As soon as Baili Pangpang finished speaking, something fell heavily on his head, and then fell to the ground, causing him to grin in pain.

"What sneaked up on the young master?"

Baili Pangpang rubbed his head while looking down, his whole body was shocked suddenly.

At his feet, a flying bird covered in bruises fell weakly on the ground, with a blush in its eyes, it flapped its almost broken wings crazily, rolled to the side of Baili's fat shoes, and pecked vigorously. Hit him twice.

A few seconds later, the bird lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.
