Chapter 72: End of the Cycle

In fact, it was at the beginning of the blessed land.

When Wu Xian discovered that both the inspector and the criminal had curly hair, he already had some doubts in his mind.

Because there are not many natural curls of this degree.

But at that time his mind was on cracking the rules of the blessed land, and coupled with the influence of his memory, Wu Xian subconsciously ignored the problem of his hair.

It was not until he saw that only one-third of himself was left in the magic mirror that Wu Xian connected all the clues together.

Each of the three of them is Wu Xian, but none of them is the complete Wu Xian.

Everyone is one third!

Wu Xian is on the left, Jia is in the middle, and Wei Hao is on the right.

After realizing that they were all the same, Jia and Wei both relaxed. There was no seriousness in the interrogation room anymore. Instead, it felt like friends sitting together, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"There is indeed a high probability that the three of us dying together is the way to break the cycle."

“But this approach is too risky.”

Wu Xian pointed to his head.

"If I fail, all my experience from going through so many cycles will be wasted, so I have never made up my mind to die with you two. Finally, at the end of the last cycle, I thought of a possible way."

"During the soul transfer, Ms. Goldfish told me an interesting topic."

"Possession can be divided into living possession and death possession. The requirement of living possession is to wear down the self-consciousness of the possessed person. When the self-consciousness of the possessed person is weak enough, he will merge with the possessor and occupy the living body."

"Don't you think that the pattern of the three of us constantly killing each other and forgetting is like being deprived of self-awareness?"

"Perhaps after waking up one day, we will no longer remember that we are Wu Xian. We will just be unconscious entities living in a cycle with a false name and surname. At that time..."

"The possession is complete!"

Seize the body...

After this word appeared.

Both Jia and Wei fell into a long silence.

After a moment of silence, Wei Hao looked at Wu Xian.

"I understand what you mean. If this is a possession, then the solution to the puzzle is not to break the cycle, but to enhance self-awareness. As long as the self-awareness is strong enough, the possession will fail!"

Wu Xian gave a thumbs up: "As expected of me, you are really smart, but unfortunately you are a little worse than me!"

Wei Hao frowned immediately, feeling very unhappy: "Why do you say I'm worse than you? We are both Wu Xian, so our IQs should be the same!"

Jia saw that the two were getting angry, so he stepped out to mediate: "Stop arguing. Generally speaking, the C position is the most important. I am in the middle, so I am the smartest."

Wu Xian looked at Wei Hao and Jia with disdain: "If it weren't for me, would you two have made this much progress? I've solved the most puzzles, so of course I'm the smartest."

Wei Hao sneered: "You are just the luckiest. It just happened to be your turn. If I were in your position, I would do better than you."

The three of them were unwilling to give in and glared at each other.

"Then let's compete and see who is the best among the three of us!"

"Compete!"

"Who is afraid of whom?"

Wu Xian shouted and took out the playing cards, Sudoku books, Four Kingdoms, chess, military flags, Gobang, and other educational toys that he had prepared long ago.

In this weird game with an infinite loop, the three loopers no longer do anything else, but instead play various competitive games in the room.

In Wu Xian's opinion, the best way to enhance self-awareness is to constantly prove oneself. Therefore, Wu Xian always behaved in a very provocative manner during the discussion, in order to arouse the disgust of the two and let the three of them start arguing about who is the strongest.

No matter who wins the argument among the three of them, all three of them will benefit. Perhaps Wei Hao and Jia Xing also understood Wu Xian's intention, which is why they cooperated with him in the argument.

The three men fought in darkness, without any regard for hunger or thirst, day or night.

The circulation outside seemed to have stopped.

The pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, like NPCs in a game with a bug, their figures gradually blurred and then shattered into pieces...

Then the cars, trees, houses, streets, and even the earth and sky began to collapse.

Finally, the interrogation room also disappeared.

……

Wu Xian opened his eyes.

But I couldn't see anything, my eyes were cold, and I felt uncomfortable all over, as if my body was rusted.

So he wiped his eyes and tore off a piece of paper money. This paper money made Wu Xian feel very uncomfortable. The error messages in the loop should have been released by this paper money.

Then Wu Xian wanted to get up.

But I found myself being restrained by something.

Fortunately, these things were not strong. Wu Xian stood up from the ground with a little effort, and tore off the things on his body one by one, holding a piece to observe carefully.

The things wrapped around Wu Xian were strands of bright red muscle, which would ooze out blood if squeezed slightly. When Wu Xian was circulating in Xianwei City before, these things had been connecting Wu Xian to something.

Then Wu Xian looked around.

There was a faint blood-red fluorescence in the air. Visibility was very low. One could only see about three meters in front and behind. Everything was dark red and filled with a pungent fishy smell.

After exploring around, Wu Xian discovered that this was a corridor with a width of four meters and an unknown length. The walls and floor of the corridor were all similar in texture to hard leather, and there seemed to be soft flesh and blood inside.

After finding out this, Wu Xian felt more at ease and began to check his own condition.

Wu Xian first recalled.

He found that he knew the experiences of Xu Ming, Jia Xing and Wei Hao very well. He couldn't even tell who he was before. It seemed that these three people were indeed himself.

Then Wu Xian looked at himself with the magic mirror again.

The self in the mirror was complete, except for an ink line drawn on one-third of his body, which meant that he had successfully broken out of the cycle, and the three Wu Xians had merged together again.

“It seems that strengthening one’s own will is indeed the key to breaking the cycle.”

"But if this method can break the cycle, it means... there is an evil spirit trying to take over my body!"

Realized that there was an evil spirit watching him.

Wu Xian suddenly became nervous. The evil spirit could be anywhere at this moment, above, below, behind... or hiding in his body.

As long as Wu Xian was careless for a moment, it might suddenly appear and take Wu Xian's life.

Then Wu Xian began to check the things on his body.

The first thing is the certificate of ordination for family members.

Wu Xian was quite moved by the familiar feel of the certificate of ordination for his family. He opened the first page and saw only a concise sentence on it.

'Lord Cui placed the gate leading to Lihentian in a conspicuous place. Passing through this gate, one can escape from this blessed land.'

　The cycle has come to an end, but this story is far from over...
