My Endless Life.

Chapter 444 Suspicious People

Li Qi and Li Qiao stayed in the village for another three days.

During these three days, the cycle happened over and over again, and each time it repeated what Li Qi saw on the second day of his arrival.

But apart from that, Li Qi did not encounter any danger.

It seems like everything here is just a cycle, and there is no change other than that.

As for what happened here, the first thing Li Qi could confirm was that the cycle had nothing to do with pollution or the Sun family.

At least he didn't see the Sun family do anything special in the past few days. He and Li Qiao even checked out the old Wu family who sold candles next door, but nothing special happened there either.

Therefore, the possibility that someone used strange objects to cause trouble was ruled out.

"It's not a rare object, nor is it pollution... What is going on?"

Even though Li Qi was knowledgeable, he still had no clear idea of ​​the cycle happening in the village.

The only thing he could confirm now was that the cycle was initiated at three in the morning.

Once it's past three in the morning, everything starts over again.

Except for this village, other places were normal. This was what Li Qi asked Xie Yan to confirm when he returned to the dungeon during this period.

Disappearing monuments, circulating villages, and puzzles popped up one after another, which greatly increased Li Qi's interest but also gave him a headache.

He could guess that there must be a connection between the disappearance of the ancient monuments and the cycle of the village, but he couldn't find the connection between the two.

That's why I feel a headache.

Seeing that there were no clues to be found, Li Qi was planning to plow the village from beginning to end to see if it could recover the next day.

But just a week after he arrived in the village, some other changes finally occurred.

Sun Yu, the college student from the Sun family, seems to have some cyclical memories.

……

The fire in the furnace flickered in Sun Yu's pupils.

She sat in front of the stove and warmed herself by the fire, occasionally looking up at her parents and her distant cousins ​​who were playing chess in the distance, with confusion flashing in her eyes.

Since waking up this morning, Sun Yu felt something was wrong.

She always felt that everything she saw was familiar, as if she had experienced it before.

At first, Sun Yu felt very light, but as time passed, the feeling became stronger and stronger.

She could tell what her parents' next move would be, could 'guess' what they were going to say next, and could even predict what was going to happen outside!
If she hadn't been unable to predict the actions of her cousin, she would have almost thought that she had awakened the ability of precognition!
Sun Yu was confused and had a headache. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether there was something wrong with her brain or with the world.

Oh... There is something wrong with this world. Not only is there a dark curtain in the sky, but now there is no electricity.

So it’s normal that I have awakened the superpower of predicting the future?
Sun Yu's mind was still full of random thoughts, and as she thought about it, she wanted to see what her parents would do next.

Then she turned her head and met the big eyes of her lovely cousin.

"Oooh wow!!"

Suddenly turning around and seeing a face, even if that face is very cute, is enough to scare people.

Sun Yu was a bit timid to begin with, and he fell off the stool immediately after being frightened.

boom!
His buttocks fell hard on the cold ground, and Sun Yu grimaced in pain.

However, the caring words that followed made Sun Yu feel that his butt wasn't so painful anymore.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

The little cousin showed concern for Sun Yu like a little angel.

Listening to that cute childish voice, Sun Yu felt as if his heart, which had almost been scared out of his chest, slowly fell back to its original place from his throat.

Seeing her cousin's innocent appearance, Sun Yu couldn't even say a word of blame. She could only pat her butt and stand up from the ground, and said to her cousin helplessly:

"Xiao An, don't come over here quietly next time. You scared me just now."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to. I just saw that you seemed to remember something, so I came over to see you."

"Well, I hope you didn't mean it... huh?"

Sun Yu stood up and responded subconsciously, but then she realized something and turned to look at her cousin in astonishment:
"…Xiao An, what did you just say? What do you mean…'remember'? What did I remember?"

When Sun Yu asked this question, his heart was still beating wildly.

If there was a heart rate monitor now, you would be able to see that Sun Yu's heart rate would go straight to 130.

She was nervous, expectant, and a little scared.

But she herself didn't know what she was so nervous about and what she was afraid of.

Staring at her little cousin beside her with burning eyes, Sun Yu felt that time had become extremely long. She couldn't even remember how long she had been waiting before she heard her cousin Meng An slowly speak:

"Loop, don't you remember that you are trapped in a loop?"

boom! !

This sentence exploded in Sun Yu's mind like a thunder.

The memories of the past seemed to be blown apart by this roar, and countless repeated memories flooded into my mind!

Sun Yu recalled everything clearly, from the time the factory disappeared, to the time when the government could not be contacted, to the time when the electricity disappeared and their family began to fall into a cycle.

At the same time, she recalled something.

The child in front of me, and the girl who came with him, they are not distant cousins ​​of the Sun family at all!
The infusion of dozens of days' memories made Sun Yu's head swell.

She rubbed her head, took a few steps back and sat on a chair far from the stove. After a long while, she raised her head and looked at the child in front of her. She asked a question that seemed a bit immature to her: "Who... are you?"

……

"As you can see, we are just passers-by."

Li Qiao came over and answered Sun Yu's question on behalf of Li Qi.

She held Li Qi's hand and communicated with Sun Yu as if she was the one in charge.

Li Qi just stayed quietly beside Li Qiao, checking Sun Yu's body over and over again with his mental power, trying to find the secret for Sun Yu to break the cycle.

Sun Yu didn't think too much about it.

When Li Qiao came over, her eyes fell directly on Li Qiao.

After hearing the brother and sister's answers, Sun Yu was stunned for a while. She recalled the requests made by the brother and sister when they came, as well as the questions they asked when they came in. After hesitating for a moment, she asked:

"…Are you here to look for the factory that disappeared earlier?"

"It seems like you really remember everything."

Li Qiao said meaningfully.

She didn't expect that Li Qi insisted on staying here for a few more days, and actually got an unexpected gain.

Sun Yu scratched his hair in annoyance.

Her hair was a little long, but not the kind of long that comes from being trimmed. Instead, it grew naturally and was a little messy because she hadn't been able to get a haircut during this period.

After she rubbed it like that, the brown medium-length hair became like weeds.

She put her hands in her hair, her expression was very tangled, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time before asking the two people in front of her:

“What…what on earth is going on!?”

"We don't know either. We wanted to ask you if you knew something, but now it seems that you don't know anything either."

Li Qiao shrugged.

Sun Yu was speechless after hearing this. She was silent for a while before Li Qiao continued to ask:

"Well, now that you've recovered your memory, why don't you tell us if there was anything special that happened during your cycle."

"Something special?"

"For example, strange objects falling from the sky, or some strange phenomena, or some strange people appearing... that kind of thing."

Li Qi discussed with Li Qiao that the circulation within the village was obviously not related to pollution, but they could not find any strange objects or suspicious people.

Therefore, it is speculated that either the person or thing that created the cycle in the village has left, or that person or thing has become one of the villagers and is also trapped in the cycle.

Just like Kate and her mother that Li Qi had met before.

Li Qi and the others had made some speculations before, but had no way to verify them. Now that Sun Yu has recovered his memories during the cycle, it is a good opportunity to ask him about it.

Li Qiao's question made Sun Yu fall into deep thought. She thought for a long time before answering the two people in front of her:
"...During this period, the only strange people seem to be... you?"

Sun Yu said this carefully.

Because in her eyes, the brother and sister in front of her were really strange.

Who would still be walking around outside after the eternal night fell, especially when they looked like they hadn't experienced much.

Even their clothes were not torn or dirty!
I really don’t know why my dad believed them and let them into the house.

Sun Yu instinctively felt that the two people in front of him were a little dangerous, but he had no evidence.

"..." Sun Yu's words left Li Qiao speechless for a moment. She turned her head silently and looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi sighed softly, looked up and met Sun Yu's gaze.

His eyes, which had basically recovered, released spiritual power to hypnotize Sun Yu's mind. He asked softly:
"Sister Sun Yu, do you really not remember anything?"

"..."

His eyes were a little dazed, and under the guidance of Li Qi's spirit, the memories buried deep in Sun Yu's consciousness gradually emerged.

She recalled everything she had seen during the cycle, and suddenly said:
"...I remember now. Uncle Wu's family...his family didn't seem to exist at the beginning. They were...outsiders too."

Upon hearing Sun Yu's words, Li Qi immediately asked, "Sister Sun Yu, are you sure?"

"me…"

There was a flash of struggle in Sun Yu's eyes, and finally he nodded and said:

"Confirmed! Not only Uncle Wu's family, but also a journalist couple who came to visit, and a small expedition team. They all came later, but... but they all seem to have become part of the village now..."

Old Wu’s family, a journalist couple, and a small expedition team.

Li Qi wrote down Sun Yu's words, and then compared them with the families he had investigated in the past few days.

There are only two people in Old Wu's family, he and his son, and we won't mention the fact that the name has a specific meaning for now.

The remaining journalist couple, the only young couple in the village, lived in the single-story bungalow in the center of the village.

As for the expedition team, Sun Yu said that there were five people in the expedition team, three men and two women.

The largest family in the village has only four people, two boys and two girls, and all four members of the family are brothers and sisters.

Based on this speculation, these two men and two women are most likely from the foreign expedition team.

I just don't know why one of them is missing.
