Three days later.
In a residential area.
"Vengeful spirits, vengeful spirits are here!"
Leon said with a pale face, "That woman in white … she … she … is just outside in the corridor …"
This ordinary person was scared out of his wits.
"I'm fine!"
Yue Shan glanced at him, took off his gloves, and pressed on the door.
An invisible resistance was formed.
The sound of footsteps lingered outside the door, trying to knock into it …
But in the end, it chose to leave.
"I … I'm saved."
Leon sat on the ground weakly and looked at the Yue Shan siblings. "You two are metahumans. Are you sent by God to save me?"
"I'm sorry, no …"
Yue Shan's expression was cold. He turned on the walkie-talkie. "Chu He, where are you?"
"I've just dealt with one case and lured a troublesome guy away …"
Chu He stood on top of a tall building, looking into the darkness.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a group of people screaming and the roar of a car.
They were … employees of the same company!
After all, only they, who possessed spiritual items, could struggle in front of some powerful and mysterious beings and become the target of firepower.
Ordinary people who would die from a single touch were not even qualified to be bait!
Although they were employees of the same company, the corporate culture of the express delivery company was to harm each other. They would do anything to survive. Therefore, Chu He did not have the slightest bit of pity for these people who had more or less resisted him.
"Thank you for your efforts …"
He nodded coldly, then turned around and walked down the stairs. He spoke into the walkie-talkie. "You can prepare to leave now …"
In fact, he had always had a doubt in his heart.
Although the Mysterious City was indeed dangerous and there were sporadic wandering specters …
However, for the company employees who had mastered the ability of the specters and had dealt with similar situations many times, it was not difficult to survive for three days.
After all, even Leon, who knew nothing, had lived for almost a month.
This was not right!
This did not match the difficulty of the annual meeting mission!
During this period, they had only dealt with some of the specters wandering in the Mysterious City, which were like parasites.
The true terror of the Mysterious City had yet to be revealed!
…
"Is it time?"
"I've checked three times. My phone, watch … All the timers show that the third day has passed."
Yue Shan answered excitedly, his eyes filled with hope.
"Then … the real danger of the annual meeting mission is the moment we leave Mysterious City?"
Chu He didn't relax at all. After the three of them gathered, he became even more nervous.
"Chu, did you promise to take me away? Right? "
Behind the three of them was a small figure. It was Leon.
"Yes, I promised, but it's just a chance. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on you."
Chu He said coldly.
The reason why he brought Leon along was because he wanted someone to try and make mistakes at the critical moment.
But now, even Yue Qin could accept this method.
The group of four left the place where they had always lived and came to a dilapidated train station.
Chu He looked around, took a deep breath, and took out a coin.
This was the coin that he had kept for himself and had never told anyone about it. It was the other coin that could summon Bus 444!
As a wise man, he had already thought of a way out.
But at that moment, Chu He suddenly felt his heart palpitate when he touched the cold surface of the rusted coin.
"Chu He!"
Yue Shan scanned the road, his face filled with anxiety as he urged Yue Shan.
To his younger sister, this place represented danger!
"Yes, there's no way out."
Chu He sighed and tossed the coin.
In the fog, a bus slowly drove out.
"Oh, God, is this the angel that you sent to save me?"
Leon looked at the bus and almost knelt down to kiss the ground.
Clang!
The bus door opened.
Although he knew that it was equally dangerous on the bus and that he would have to go through many hardships to return to the real world.
But Chu He still quickened his pace and stepped on the door.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
At that moment, a melodious and loud bell rang in the sky above the city, echoing back and forth.
The next moment, Chu He was stunned.
Yue Yang and Yue Shan were already standing at another bus stop, looking at the departing bus number 444.
"We just arrived at Mysterious City, but Brother Bing and Sister Hong …"
Yue Qin said with sadness and fear.
Beep.
The message from the company arrived on time.
"What just arrived? Aren't we leaving? Why did the bus leave? No … this isn't … "
Yue Shan pressed his temples, his face filled with fear.
"Yue Shan, do you still remember?"
Chu He took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Yue Qin, have you forgotten that we spent three days here?"
"What three days?"
Yue Qin asked in confusion.
"Ah!"
Yue Shan screamed.
The joy of leaving was a perfect irony compared to the desperate situation he was in now.
He thought that he had stepped into heaven, but he ended up hiding in the abyss.
This was the irony of the world!
"I think I know."
Chu He did not say a word and rushed to the commercial street.
Yue Shan followed closely behind with a confused Yue Qin.
A moment later, Leon, who looked like a homeless man, was dragged out of a convenience store.
"Leon, answer me a question. When did you come here? Tell me the date you disappeared in the real world! "
Chu He's only eye was bloodshot.
"How … how did you know my name is Leon?"
Leon was confused and immediately gave a date.
That was … a year ago!
"What the hell is going on?"
Looking at the date on the phone, Yue Shan felt like he was going crazy.
"The so-called Mysterious City … is a cycle of time, a cycle that keeps restarting …"
"And the Mysterious City … can restart this cycle at any time. When we are about to leave, it will restart time to the time when we arrived."
Chu He's voice was dry. "So … the company stated that the mission is three days, but to us … the mission period is … unlimited!"
Eternal despair instantly appeared in Yue Shan's heart.
"This …"
He looked at the confused Yue Qin and Leon, who had been rebooted here many times. He was completely speechless. "Why … do we still have memories?"
"Only the uncanny can fight against the uncanny. Although the uncanny in us can't fight against the rebooting, we can still retain some of our previous memories … but this will only bring more despair …"
Chu He's face was pale. "The time limit of the Mysterious City's rebooting seemed to be half a month. This was based on Leon … but after we arrived, the time between rebooting seemed to have shortened …"
"If this continues, when the time interval is shortened, it will probably become one day, one hour, one second …"
"By then, we will always be in a time paradox … I can't imagine this horror …"
