Chapter 315: Chapter 68 Gu Pan: This time, we will win! (7K characters, requesting monthly votes)

"The twenty-first cycle begins..."

Inside the luxury car, Gu Pan bit the corner of her mouth slightly.

Cold wind poured in through the half-open car window, fluttering the loose strands of hair on her forehead, her face entirely filled with shades of dark terror.

She knew, if not for the traces on the soup bowl which were undisturbed, Gu Pan would definitely grab a pen and paper to write down, "Gu Pan, wake up quickly, you are now trapped in a huge crisis, time is looping, memories will blur, you have been trapped!"

Yes, Gu Pan could now be completely certain that she and her group had fallen into some strange "loop"!

She couldn’t determine where the endpoint was, nor where it began.

Because her memories would continuously blur, she often couldn’t remain clear-headed.

Although she recalled anomalies while in the car, it didn’t mean this place was the starting point of the "loop."

Repeat, repeat, and repeat again.

It seemed as if there was no end at all.

However, apart from herself, the three most powerful Second Rank members in the team, the "assassin" Tang Rou, the "Witch" Gu Yue Ming, and the "Fire Mage" Song Qixing, all of them couldn’t have a moment of clarity from this peculiar loop.

"What on earth is the problem?" Gu Pan’s eyes grew deeper and deeper.

She couldn’t help but feel nervous.

If she couldn’t find a solution, she feared her moments of clarity would increasingly diminish!

They say it’s the 21st time.

But who knows, during the times she wasn’t aware, how many more cycles had she experienced? Perhaps dozens or even hundreds?

"If this continues, I’ll be trapped to death sooner or later, damn, what should I do..."

Gu Pan’s gaze vigilantly swept over her surroundings, like a cat sensing an approaching unfamiliar enemy, scanning here and there.

She knew, if she wanted to break the pattern, she at least had to find where the "memory reset" point was, she must find where the real enemy was.

She definitely could find it!

But first, she could exclude the giant octopus "monster" that she killed with a sword.

Too weak.

"Aunt, what were you saying just now?" Gu Pan suddenly turned to the side and asked thoughtfully.

Gu Yue Ming touched her chin and said, "Ah? I was just reflecting on this place; it used to have a unique scenery, I visited once when I was young..."

Really? The corners of Gu Pan’s mouth twitched.

Great, many times life and death were at stake, and her teammate was still here reminiscing the glorious old days.

At this moment, Gu Pan deeply realized a phrase someone once said to her—fear not the god-like opponents, but fear the pig-like teammates.

It was clear that the aunt who had raised her since childhood, Gu Yue Ming, in the eyes of the Killing Heart Burning female Swordsman, had now equated to being as foolish as a pig.

Childhood memories? How long ago was that for you, still bringing it up, I suspect you’ve mentioned it countless times in this loop...

Well, wait, how long...

How long?

Gu Pan was about to criticize her for her unserious attitude towards hunting, seeming as if she came here for sightseeing, completely unaware of vigilance, which led to the uncertain road ahead.

But then, she mulled over the phrase "how long," and suddenly, her entire vision lit up.

Yes, how long!

"How long," a term related to time.

Their "loop" that everyone had fallen into was also likely related to time.

But there was a difference, which was whether they were truly trapped in "a period of time" or just caught in some kind of illusion.

It seemed, there was no difference.

In fact, it might also not be important for solving the crisis.

But at least, it allowed Gu Pan to feel that she had made some breakthrough, she could estimate how long their "loop" had lasted.

Heh heh heh!

Found your flaw!

Gu Pan’s lips curled up into a cruel arc, gesturing a middle finger towards the hidden monster ahead.

"Panpan, what’s wrong with you? Why do you seem so edgy?" Gu Yue Ming curiously reached out and touched her forehead before asking.

Gu Pan shook her head and smiled asking, "Aunt, what’s the date today?"

"Today? The 27th, I think," Gu Yue Ming answered.

"Approximately what time?"

"What time? I forgot... Probably around two or three in the afternoon, is something wrong?" Gu Yue Ming looked up to gauge the position of the sun.

"Heh heh, the 27th, around three in the afternoon?" Gu Pan nodded her head but didn’t immediately respond.

As expected.

Just as she had guessed, because their memories were affected by the "loop," they were always stuck on the day they entered here.

But in reality, today was definitely more than just the 27th.

Gu Pan surmised that this bizarre and inexplicable "looped" space was only perceptible to her.

Other people couldn’t notice the anomaly.

Knowing the real time was no longer feasible by relying on the sunrise and sunset.

But there was one method that would definitely work—the Ascension Network.

Although Gu Pan wasn’t yet at level 12 to reply on the Ascension Network, having watched her aunt play with her "phone" since childhood, she clearly understood that posts on the Ascension Network, once replied to, could show the ’reply date.’

So by doing this, she could determine how long they had been trapped here.

Good, this was a method to break the situation.

This way, she could quickly alert the others that there were some issues here, without wasting too much time.

All she needed was a sentence, "Open your Ascension Networks and check what day it is today."

Although, Gu Pan figured, even if she alerted others, when the next "loop" began, their memories would still be disrupted, undergoing unconscious repetitions of life, including herself who would need some hints to wake up.
