Chapter 205 World 3: Finding the Secret Under the Light 23
but……
In the blink of an eye, Shi Qi, Han Lin, and Yan Ziwen returned to the ruins and repeated what had just happened, but this time they went directly into the ruins...
The three of them once again passed through the ruins and found a way to the outside world. Following this route, they finally walked out of this desolate land and returned to the world they were familiar with.
The mysterious man appeared in front of them and said again, "Where have you been? How come you suddenly disappeared? I showed you the way to the basement of the palace. When I finished my business and went to look for you, I found that you were gone. The guards of the palace couldn't find you either."
Shi Qi, Yan Ziwen, and Han Lin looked at each other. Yan Ziwen asked, "Oh my god, what's going on?"
"Maybe, we are trapped in a time tunnel." After Han Lin finished replying to Yan Ziwen, he told the mysterious man what Yan Ziwen had just said to him: "We don't know what happened either. We went to the basement as you said, and then we met the people who might be the mastermind. Then there was a battle, and then we appeared in a ruin."
The mysterious man did not hear the conversation between Han Lin and Yan Ziwen. He only heard what Han Lin said to him. He replied, "I'm glad you came back safely. I'm glad you're all right."
Han Lin nodded, took out the Mind Scepter which had returned to his space ring at some point, and handed it to the mysterious man. "This is what we found during the battle. I think it belongs to the Lightbringer."
The mysterious man took the Mind Scepter, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Not only did you manage to escape, but you also found the real Mind Scepter. This is incredible. This scepter is very important to us. Its power can protect our world from the invasion of dark forces."
Shi Qi looked around and asked, "Why are you here? Have you finished dealing with Princess Sofia's problem?"
The mysterious man smiled and looked at Shi Qi and the others with some admiration in his eyes: "The situation over there with Princess Sophia has stabilized, and the threat of 'Eye of Shadow' has been temporarily controlled. The Mind Scepter you found will greatly enhance our defense capabilities and provide an effective force for the next action."
"Oh, that's good." Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts about the cycle in his heart became stronger and stronger. "But why did we suddenly disappear and suddenly appear? Moreover, it feels like a repeated adventure."
Yan Ziwen also scratched his head, looking confused: "Yes, yes, this is too weird! It's like being controlled by some force."
Han Lin was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then slowly said: "Perhaps there is a bigger secret hidden behind this, which is related to the 'Eye of Shadow' we encountered before and the truth behind this world."
The mysterious man frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was thinking about what Shi Qi and the others said. "The time loop you mentioned is indeed unusual. There is no record of such a thing on Nahai Island. However, there is an ancient legend that mentions some powerful beings that can manipulate time and space, but this usually only exists in myths."
"Mythology?" Shi Qi's eyes lit up, as if he had found some clue. "That is to say, we may have accidentally touched some ancient power, which is why we are trapped in this cycle?"
The mysterious man nodded, but his expression was still solemn: "It is possible. But no matter what the reason is, we must deal with it carefully. Since you have returned safely and brought back the Mind Scepter, we should quickly study how to use its power to further strengthen our defense."
"This is not the first time we have given you the Scepter of Mind. Do you still remember?" Yan Ziwen asked.
The mysterious man seemed a little confused when Yan Ziwen asked him this. He carefully examined the Psychic Scepter in his hand, frowning: "You gave me the Psychic Scepter before? How is this possible? This is the first time I see it."
Shi Qi, Yan Ziwen and Han Lin looked at each other, and became more certain that they were trapped in some strange phenomenon of time loop.
Han Lin said: "Perhaps, this is one of the evidences that we are trapped in a cycle. Every time we cycle, we will experience some of the same things, including handing over the Mind Scepter to you."
The mysterious man's expression turned serious when he heard this: "If that's the case, then things are complicated. The time loop is no joke, it may hide a huge crisis. We must find out the cause as soon as possible and find a way to break the loop."
Han Lin nodded and said, "That's right. We can't be trapped in this cycle forever. Moreover, each cycle is like a real adventure, which is a huge test for our body and mind."
Yan Ziwen seemed a little excited: "But, after all, this is also quite exciting! It's like playing a game that will never end!"
Han Lin smiled helplessly and patted Yan Ziwen on the shoulder: "It's exciting, but we must keep a clear head. The consequences of the time loop may be far more serious than we imagined."
At this time, Han Lin made a suggestion: "Perhaps, we can start the investigation from that basement. Every time the cycle occurs, we meet the mastermind there. Maybe there are key clues to breaking the cycle hidden there."
"No, the first time we entered the basement, but just now, we went directly into the ruins where the mastermind was. We skipped the other steps and didn't even see the mastermind. We came out directly." Shi Qi said: "I don't know when the Mind Scepter returned to your hands."
The mysterious man listened to the descriptions of Shi Qi, Yan Ziwen, and Han Lin, his brows furrowed more and more, obviously trying to understand this extraordinary situation. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "What you described is indeed beyond my understanding. But since it has happened, we must find a solution."
"Regarding the Mind Scepter," the mysterious man once again examined the scepter in his hand, with a determined look in his eyes, "regardless of whether this is a repeated gift in a cycle, its appearance must have its meaning. I will start researching it immediately to see if I can find clues to breaking the cycle."
Shi Qi nodded. Although he was confused, he also understood that the most important thing at this moment was to unite and find a way out. "So what should we do now? Continue to wait for the next cycle to happen, or take the initiative to look for clues?"
Han Lin suggested: "We can't just wait passively. Each cycle may bring unknown changes. I suggest that we split up. One group of people stays in the palace to assist the mysterious man in studying the Mind Scepter; the other group goes to the ruins to look for possible clues or anomalies."
Yan Ziwen immediately raised his hand to show his agreement: "I'll go to the ruins! Exploration is the best thing for me!"
Shi Qi looked at the mysterious man and asked for his opinion: "What do you think? Is this allocation reasonable?"
The mysterious man thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do as Han Lin said. Shi Qi, you and I will stay in the palace to study the Mind Scepter; Yan Ziwen and Han Lin, you go to the ruins, and be careful."
After the distribution was completed, everyone took action quickly. Shi Qi and the mysterious man entered the secret room of the palace and began to study the secret of the Mind Scepter. On the other hand, Yan Ziwen and Han Lin once again set out on the road to the ruins, feeling nervous and full of expectations.
Unfortunately, Shi Qi had just entered the secret room of the palace and had not had time to check anything before he appeared in the ruins again with Han Lin and Yan Ziwen...
(????) The mysterious man looked at Shi Qi, Han Lin and Yan Ziwen who suddenly reappeared with a confused look on his face, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"This...what is going on?!" the mysterious man asked stutteringly, and the mind scepter in his hand unconsciously tightened a little.
Shi Qi, Han Lin and Yan Ziwen looked at each other helplessly. Han Lin sighed and repeated the previous situation to the mysterious man, but this time, his tone was more tired and powerless.
