    "Zi...Zi..."

    The car was speeding on the highway, and the wind brushed past the window.

    The radio blared.

    At first, there was only FM noise in it, and then there began to be shredded music, and Tang Xinjue let it play in it.

    Countless pieces of information were spinning rapidly in her mind, colliding and splicing together.

    The expression of the faceless child, the strange behavior of the restaurant owner, the tingling pain and ominous premonition in his head... The clues cleared the fog, revealing a vague outline.

    Tang Xinjue finally found the source of the difference——

    From the beginning, her feelings were all wrong.

    In retrospect, when she opened her eyes in the convertible, the preconceived environment made her think this was the beginning of the exam: her roommates were not scattered, and she was the only one driving.

    But what if... this isn't the real opening at all?

    Through the rear-view mirror, Tang Xinjue looked at the interior of the convertible from a new angle, the main and co-pilot and the rear seats, where just four people were seated.

    Perhaps, it has been clear from the beginning: this test is not a single-person start at all, but should be a four-person convertible!

    This is the normal configuration for an average student going on a "road trip" together.

    And why she didn't know about it, and why couldn't she find the other three... Tang Xinjue tapped the steering wheel, and the words came to mind.

    Weekly cycle.

    Stepping on the brakes to stop on the side of the road, Tang Xinjue closed his eyes, feeling overflowing.

    She has nothing to do with memory, but once she has determined the framework, she can still gradually speculate what happened through her understanding of herself and her roommates.

    In the blank sea of ​​consciousness, he gradually sketched out pictures.

    At the beginning of the first week, the crew on the car should be complete.

    After seeing Mayas' task of "milk" and "milk", the four of them kept the gift box properly, and Tang Xinjue took the driver's seat and drove on the road.

    A few steps away from the initial point, it was a small coffee shop. The NPC gave them coffee that could be reimbursed, and then rudely marked four lines on the menu.

    Continue to drive, it is a fast food restaurant on the road, there is a boss with a strange smile and a little boy without facial features, who gave them the same meals that can be reimbursed. The owner of the restaurant should not have made any aggressive actions, but just lingered on several people with cold and sticky eyes... Not wanting to stay for a long time, several people hurried on the road, and soon reached the gas station.

    Did the accident happen at a gas station?

    Tang Xinjue opened his eyes, looked at the foggy road ahead, and crossed out this branch.

    No, they left the gas station and even drove to the end of the road, trying to find the home of Mayas's "milk" and "milk".

    Then something went wrong.

    The mission was not completed, and the copy was restarted—or rather, they returned to the starting point of the road. Only this time, from four to three.

    Tong Dang woke up, thinking that the exam had just started, he hurried on the road, encountered a coffee shop, a fast food restaurant, a gas station... Where did the roommate who disappeared without a trace went.

    Tang Xinjue felt that Er Zhoumu should have realized something, so they gave Guo Guo's watch to the innocent faceless kid in the restaurant. Of course, the marks they left should be far more than that.

    But when the third week came, the mark disappeared with Guo Guoqi.

    The more people there are, the more dangerous the road becomes for them. The restaurateurs who shoot them in the second or third week, the unfinished gas station, and the inevitable failure.

    Just like the kid's gestures, the four people in the dormitory were silently erased one by one...until the fourth episode, which is now.

    On this road trip, only Tang Xinjue was left.

    The only traces of the roommate's existence were ten messy pencil scratches on the cafe menu, the watch in the kid's pocket, and the tingling pain in Tang Xinjue's mind.

    She finally realized where the pain came from—

    Dangerous Summoner.

    Before the exam, she and Zhang You bought a dangerous summoner. Once Zhang You was in a dangerous environment, the summoner would automatically send a signal to her. The greater the danger, the stronger the signal.

    There is no chance to test before entering the examination room. When the danger is high to a certain level, what will happen to the signal, and there is no need to test again in the future.

    Tang Xinjue put out one hand and pressed the temple's "point".

    The signal would turn into a tingling in her mind, warning her of danger at all times.

    But at the same time, this signal conveys a message...

    Zhang You is still alive!

    "Zizi..."

    The time "approached" five o'clock, and the sky gradually covered the upper layers of indistinct darkness, indicating that dusk was coming.

    After the long, hoarse and mocking music, the radio finally turned into a "chaotic" signal flow again, as if trying to recondense something.

    Tang Xinjue now feels that the contract is really effective, and may have judged that the "friendship" she gave Wu Shi was not worth a few cents, so she repaired the half-dead model of the radio.

    So far, the use is to destroy her ears.

    [Appraisal: This is a not-so-smart car radio, but occasionally provides some useful information, may depend on your luck]

    Listening to the intermittent noise of the radio, Tang Xinjue keenly found that the fog at the end of his line of sight didn't seem to have started so much anymore.

    The road seems to have finally changed a little in the long, unchanging stretch.

    Spiritual power jumping in the sea of ​​consciousness is not a good premonition.

    Slowing down the speed of the car, Tang Xinjue held his breath, and the information in his mind was turning around all the time, dismantling it to find a way to break the situation.

    The bad possibility of "sex", this time still failed, she is the last person to disappear, and Zhoumu will not restart again.

    They will forever lose the opportunity to clear the customs directly from the road, and may even be trapped in this dungeon forever.

    ...but there is too much information.

    Even if the rules of Zhoumu reincarnation are known, in order to break the game, there is still one important point of information missing: the reason for triggering the failure mechanism.

    In the game, there are two possibilities for the ending of Dabe: not following the established path, or completely following the established path.

    In the past, it was a mistake to get out of the game. You only need to follow the steps without triggering the error point, and you can pass the customs safely.

    Then, it's much trickier.

    Tang Xinjue stared at the front of the road from a distance, and the road became narrower and narrower in the golden light that gradually spread in the evening. The convertible could no longer change lanes and had to continue along the center of the road.

    Even if she hasn't reached the end, she already has a hunch in her heart.

    The danger of this dungeon should be right after.

    Along the established path, even if you walk on thin ice and do nothing, you will die together. Because of its existence itself, it executes the failure procedure, making them slip into an irreversible abyss without realizing it.

    Only by finding a unique exit, can you break the shackles of reincarnation and find the mission target named "Mayas' House of Milk".

    But this is a straight road with no turning back. There was no bifurcation point that slanted out, not even giving her a chance to choose.

    and many more.

    Tang Xinjue's hands suddenly tightened, and there seemed to be a logical line in his mind that he thought was a dead end, and an answer he had never thought of before appeared.

    No, she once had a choice.

    That choice opportunity even appeared in front of her very clearly, if it really had something to do with it, if only the latter possibility was "sex"...

    If this speculation is correct, then she still has a chance!

    The road was getting narrower and narrower, and the convertible suddenly swayed. It seemed to change from a straight road to a rough gravel road.

    At this time, the radio finally hummed, and the current converged into an intelligible broadcast sound.

    "In order to promote the development of out-of-city road tourism... In order to increase students' interest in out-of-city tourism and improve safety... We will give the following advice, which is hereby summed up as "Road Travel Must", which is set as a compulsory course for each study. The level setting corresponds to the difficulty..."

    "Next is road trip subject to specifics"

    The sound of the radio was still flickering, and only part of the speech function came out.

    "Please make sure to bring enough food to ensure a stable physical strength during the trip..."

    "Please prepare enough school coins, download the map, and confirm the location of the road buildings... In order to protect the eyesight of the students, the buildings have been painted green. Please don't throw garbage..."

    This time the radio was "chaotic" for a long time, and finally the last sentence came out:

    "...Please find the correct entrance and exit of the highway in advance to ensure smooth entry and exit. If you find the wrong starting point, it is likely to fall into an endless loop. Recently, the education center has found many cases of lost students on the highway, and is investigating."

    The "chaotic" flow disappeared, the radio rang softly, and it became silent again.

    At the same time, the car finally drove out from the rough and narrow road, and as the road became gentle, the scene ahead came into view.

    At the end of the line of sight, there is a small green coffee house standing there quietly.

    The familiar man in the kitchen hat seemed to be sticking to the window, "showing" an indistinct smile.

    This road is a closed loop with no exits!

    Tang Xinjue stepped on the brakes, but the car did not stop, and continued to drive forward at a constant speed. By this time, Che seemed to be out of her control, and the machine would only follow the already designed end of death to the end.

    Tang Xinjue left the steering wheel with both hands, and there was no sense in controlling the convertible at this time. Glass rose from all sides, and the hood became closed, blocking the possibility of students leaving.

    This is the reason for repeated failures every week, when the people in the car finally realize the problem, it is too late.

    Is it too late...?

    In the next few seconds, Tang Xinjue did not close his eyes, but pulled out a white "color" vial from his pocket at a hand speed so fast that he could not see clearly, and poured the "medicine" pill inside into his mouth.

    For her, there is no 100% "too late" possibility, because there are three variables of probability.

    Regret the "medicine"!

    [A bottle of regret medicine (low-level): Life is not as good as nine out of ten. After taking this bottle of regret medicine, you have a 10% chance of changing your decision at a certain point in the past. ]

    [Of course, it can only find nodes that fit your memory]

    There are three red "color" "medicine" pills in the regret "medicine" bottle.

    They enter the esophagus successively, the first, the second, the third...

    The third moment of swallowing, before the convertible completely rushed into the familiar road, the surrounding scene suddenly changed——

    A convertible, parked quietly under the sign that reads [Outside the City Highway].

    Not far in front of it, is a green coffee shop that shows that it is in business. Through the narrow business window, the man in the kitchen hat saw the woman in the car wake up, looked around, and got out of the car to confirm the broken cliff behind.

    He "showed" a weird smile, put down the blocking rod, prepared a cup of steaming coffee, stretched out his hand and shook it up and down.

    However, the next second, the woman returned to the car, and the convertible did not continue to move forward.

    Tang Xinjue quietly looked at Che, the foggy road, the exaggerated smile on the face of the man in the kitchen hat, and the predestined journey.

    She drove to the front, took the cup of coffee, and drank it.

    The man in the kitchen hat smiled and said, "I wish you a pleasant journey."

    Tang Xinjue nodded, then put down the reverse gear, and the convertible began to slowly back up.

    Chef Hat Man: ? ? ?

    In line of sight, the face of the man in the kitchen hat changed from stiffness to consternation, and then his entire face was stuck to the window, his eyes were about to split and he was extremely ferocious—

    The cold mist surged from the rear, and the writing on the coffee paper cup changed in the mist:

    [cut ends here]

    From beginning to end, here is both the beginning and the end.

    The exit they were looking for was here.

    Tang Xinjue stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the whole car jumped into a cliff!
