A female-oriented system, but the worldview is a little off?

Said to be a survivor of █████.

He learned this from the villagers.

In this paradise.

You will not be attacked by strange things from the outside world, and your lifespan can be greatly extended.

Therefore, the fisherman temporarily left the peaceful peach forest in order to bring his family to settle here.

As a result, when he returned again, he could no longer find a way to re-enter the village.

In regret and unwillingness.

This story was spread as an anecdote, which aroused the admiration and yearning of more people.

Later, countless people tried to find the village.

But the only place those people could reach was the lush peach blossom forest that was bright red no matter what season it was.

And decades later...

After the peach blossom forest disappeared inexplicably one day, only this strange story remained, which was passed down like a fictional delusion.

Event Log:

On xx/xx/21 of the Source Calendar, shortly after the "Normal Curtain" system was established.

The existence of [1-105] was first discovered and confirmed in the city of ██, where a normalcy curtain had already been built and a prototype of a city had been constructed.

After the troops sent in - twelve D-level anomaly controllers and three C-level anomaly controllers, all disappeared.

The special forces unit "Silver Fang" was additionally dispatched.

However, five of the A-rank anomaly users and a team leader who was considered to be quasi-S-rank also disappeared after five hours.

——The danger level of this anomaly was immediately raised to sequence number [1].

Later, when the company was discussing whether to abandon the prototype of the city and the constructed normal curtain system,

The superior officer of the "Silver Fang" unit.

██ Rat, ignoring the lockdown order, entered [1-105] alone.

And half a year later in the outside world, some relics were found there.

Initial containment of the anomaly has been completed.

(Regarding the records of this relic, please confirm that the reader has level 4 or above authority before you can review the archives.)

Distortion Description:

1. "Peach Blossom Forest".

This is the main component of the abnormal object, and it will occupy more than 70% of the position regardless of the overall size.

Its external manifestation is a peach blossom forest where it is spring all year round.

But those bright flowers and fruits.

They are all disguised like predatory plants to lure outsiders to come.

——It will appear in the outside world periodically, and add a distorted influence of "wanting to enter and find out what's going on" to all humans who witness its existence.

However, the anomaly is selective about the prey it "hunts".

The only one who can be chosen as prey is the Abnormal Master.

Or they could be individual beings with a certain "mysterious" quality, including distorted entities.

If the conditions are not met.

They will subconsciously take a detour to leave the peach blossom forest and be unable to enter the barrier inside it.

And the individuals who were induced to enter the peach blossom forest...

They will be affected by its anomalous properties, constantly getting lost, having to turn back, and being unable to leave.

This confusion is not simply the product of distorted laws.

Rather, it is based on the simultaneous action of two means.

One of them is the rules of abnormal nature.

The Peach Blossom Forest will add the abnormal property of "unable to leave this place" to the lost people.

The second is a kind of physical magic, with a strong inductive nature whose principle is unknown.

The magic is arranged with each peach tree as the core.

To make the entrants go around in circles while constantly creating the illusion that they are moving in a straight line.

——Therefore, it is impossible to simply rely on means such as "personality crushing" and "distortion and disregard" to forcibly find a way out of this abnormal object.

(Subsequent exploration revealed that this magic is most likely one of the ancient magics that is close to being lost, namely, "Qi Men Bagua" and "Feng Shui Theory".)

2. "Mulberry fields".

A survivor lost in the "Peach Blossom Forest".

If you are lucky enough to be selected as an "outsider", you will be lured into it.

This area is considered safe within the realm of the anomalous object.

Whether it is cutting down peach trees, building wooden houses... or reproducing and passing on the family line in it.

are considered permissible.

The main abnormal property of this block is the extreme degree of "stagnation of time", which interferes with the normal flow of time.

According to the records.

Before the anomaly is successfully contained.

The flow of time in the outside world and inside has been stagnant to a level close to 365:1 day.

(“One day in heaven is one year on earth. This is what my grandfather told me.”)

(This speech records the information obtained from the local residents when the special forces team first entered.)

3. "Outsider".

It is also referred to as instance [1-105-a].

When the lost people who are chosen as prey enter the "Mulberry Field" and are affected by its abnormal properties and settle down, their cognition is polluted.

It will enter this abnormal state.

In this state.

The individual will gradually lose the awareness of the speed of time, as well as the desire to leave [1-105] and return to the outside world.

If you try to take it away by force, you may even be attacked by strong resistance.

When the company first entered the anomalous project.

There are a total of 182 human individuals in the "outsider" state.

All attempts to inquire about the villagers' ages have failed.

Years are meaningless within this anomalous object.

However....

After investigating the villagers' clothing, spoken language, culture, and even architectural habits.

—It is confirmed that some of them even came from [DATA EXPUNGED].

(This part of the record has been deleted)

After follow-up investigation.

In the "peach blossom forest", the soil roots of some newly born peach trees.

DNA components from cloth, clothing, and flesh and blood tissue sewn in the village of individual [1-105-a] were discovered.

As for some of the clothes left under the peach trees, they came from outside.

It is inferred that...

It may come from those lost people who did not obtain permission to enter the "Mulberry Field" and failed to become residents.

.....

Containment Results Log Excerpt:

When the abnormal effect of [1-105] was lifted, the distorted core of the barrier was successfully contained by the company.

182 [1-105-a] individuals who all meet the requirements of the "Veil Rescue Regulations".

The moment they come into contact with the outside air, they rapidly age into dry, white bones in seconds.

The entities present showed no signs of pain.

All the anomalous, thaumaturgical, and technological rescue methods that had been prepared... have been proven to be ineffective.

When all the bodies disappeared.

Only a faint scent of peach remained.

.....

"Even if time is temporarily retained by some means, the time that has passed will not disappear in vain."

——Recorded from the company manager ██ Rat, who silently made this assessment after he had piled up 182 cenotaphs.

.....

(Note: Nearly one-tenth of the area deep inside this anomaly is still inaccessible for exploration.)

(Judgment is made from the concentration of the distorted position.)

(The peach blossom forest in this area seems to be the oldest peach blossom, including the core of the formation, which involves the secrecy of the nature of this anomaly.)

"Is there something wrong with this peach forest?"

Chu Yan walked and walked.

He suddenly stopped and asked the two people following him with a strange look:

"Do you guys ever get the feeling that we're just going in circles?"

"No?" Shangguan Zuo showed a puzzled expression.

I looked up at the peach tree with pale pink petals and stared at the lines on the tree for a while.

Then he asked hesitantly: "Are you sure it's not your illusion?"

In fact, there was a question he didn't mention.

Been walking for ten minutes?

He didn't feel the passage of time at all, as if he had just walked into the woods.

But now that Chu Yan has pointed this out.
