Turning his attention to the showroom office, which he had ignored before because he didn't have a magnetic card, the door was opened at some point, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

Li Ming tentatively walked into it. The office was very small, with only gray ordinary information cabinets and a very solid-looking table.

After searching around for a while, I found that there were no foreign objects and no other people inside, so I calmly investigated the layout.

The file cabinet was an ordinary gray file cabinet, which probably contained documents related to the staff. Li Ming found a camera with letters on it, and a notebook with "Sakuma" written on it.

Although it is said to be a letter, it is actually a folded piece of paper with square writing on it, written one by one with a black ballpoint pen.

"Professor Mitsuru Takei:
I have become aware of what you have done, and what you have done to your fellow students and even trusted family members is unforgivable.

But the reason why I write to you is because I respect your noble personality of pursuing the truth, and I think you can still be saved.

The professor I respect is Professor Takei who believes in the power of human beings.

Immortality does not exist.

Turning back time is just a blinding sweet trap.

Think about the terrible price you will have to pay, which is a living life!
It's not too late to give up on pursuing the truth about that alien machine, give up on your mythology. "

The signature is Mizuno Ruri.

Li Ming glanced behind him subconsciously. Maria and the others didn't seem to be following them. Since it was Mizuno... the relationship between Liuli and Maria should be the twins Mikka Kurosawa said.

It seems that everything seems to be clear.

Looking at the camera, it is an old-fashioned camera with no charging cable connected and it does not look like a modern model.

Fortunately, Li Yan had seen this camera in the past information. It should be a type that would shut down quickly if it was not connected to the power supply.

Li Dang checked and found that the battery was still half full, and there was a video stored inside. The time of the video should be one hour ago.

The image has no sound.

As the screen gradually brightened, Li Yan discovered that it was the exhibition room where he first woke up.

The familiar altar and display, the velvet-covered tabletop, and he saw the blue Ichimatsu doll.

After that, a black-haired woman was struggling with her hands and feet bound, and under her feet was a magic circle glowing with a strange red light.

At the south end of the screen is a woman who looks like a professor, about sixty years old. His back is to the camera, holding a gun in his hand. After about 30 seconds, the old woman's hand trembles, probably because of the gun's plate. The machine was seized.

The head of the young black-haired woman was covered behind her hands, and then her body fell down like a puppet with its strings cut off. The moment he raised his head, Li Ming found that it was the face of Mizuno Maria.

"Zi la, zi la."

There was noise from the camera, and then the picture turned into a weird snowflake shape, and it seemed like it was over.

Li Ming squinted his eyes and discovered that the black-haired woman who was shot in the video was exactly the same as the image in Shanshi's photo.

This is where it gets tricky.

Li Ming has not yet touched the deeper secrets, so there are still some reasons for these, and there is no way to judge what is going on.

He looked at the notes on the side and came up with the idea of ​​seeking answers in them, and he opened the notes almost eagerly.

The year in hand is written on it.

Signed "Sakuma Yuya".

What was clear and logical at the beginning suddenly turned into something full of madness from somewhere...

"X month X day

everything is normal.

I rarely worked overtime this week.

Is the research a little off track?

Professor Takei seems to be in a high mood recently.

Liuli had heavy dark circles under her eyes.

It's time for the researchers to take a good rest.

X month X day

No, this is not a topic we should study.

The class schedule has changed, why didn't you notice?
They are just aliens, ancient gods, plagues...ridiculous myths.

Do we really need to believe this kind of thing?
I get a headache every time I see those words.

X month X day

Crazy, the old woman has gone crazy, I want to get out of here quickly.

Liuli is an idiot.

You are obviously awake, why not run away now?

That weird malfunctioning machine is definitely not a time machine.

I just hope I don't die in vain here.

X month X day

Can't go.

Can't go.

Can't go.

More and more strange men in black are coming in and out of the facility, and they are forced to work overtime every day...

Colleagues are becoming more and more strange, you can see it from their eyes...

X month X day

Liuli, you have to take Liuli with you.

Get away from here………

But why on earth should we leave?
Isn't it nice to be with everyone?
Gain eternal life with your beloved Liuli

Eternal life, eternal life, eternal life, eternal life
X month X day

for a higher mission
for future observers

Just wave the knife in your hand down."

What a weird and elusive account.

Li Ming seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and walked quickly towards the reception room with his handbook in hand. The people who were walking slowly passed by each other. Others looked at each other with some confusion. Kurosawa Mika followed him with unconditional trust. .

"What happened?" Kurosawa Mika asked softly. She followed Li Ming and gently stroked his back with her hands to soothe his somewhat aggressive emotions.

Li Deng ignored it and searched around the reception room for something. Finally, he found a number written in blood on the corner of the west wall——

"92575".

"Ninety-two thousand five hundred and seventy-five, what does this mean?" Kurosawa asked with some confusion.

"This is the number of times, this is the number of times Maria Mizuno has been reincarnated here." Li Min pursed his lips, "I should have discovered earlier that Maria's mental state was not like the first time she came here, so before Any strange clues discovered can be answered here.”

"So that means she is actually the key to our escape from this white dream, right?" Kurosawa reacted.

"Theoretically, this is true, but we still need enough confirmation to prove that she has experienced reincarnation for a long time." Li Wei closed his eyes and sighed, "We don't have much time left before this reincarnation. It should be over in less than a little time, so we need to speed up.”

"What do you mean by speeding up? Does it mean that we will die after reincarnation ends?"

Li Ming sighed helplessly and flicked his finger at the girl's forehead: "Don't think nonsense, it's just that some things take time. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid the pain will spread. Mizuno Maria and that Any Mizuno Ruri will sink into endless pain."

"Mizuno Ruri...?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Kurosawa Mitaka was a little puzzled, but when she saw that the young man in front of her had already raised his feet and ran towards the place where he had just come from, he immediately followed him. The two of them ran like this in the bloody smell-filled place. In the corridor.

But at this moment, at the moment Li Ming left, something changed.

Jiang Wenkan's skin began to secrete black mucus, which was exactly the same as the mucus secreted by the ghoul's body skin just now. It seemed that he had been bitten by a ghoul, so it began to assimilate.

Jiang Wenkan fell to the ground in some pain, his veins popped out, and the transformation of his muscles was completely unbearable.

Li Ming rushed to Mizuno Maria's side and clamped her hands with his hands. There were deep red marks where the handcuffs were previously cuffed, and a small wound was seen on her right index finger.

"What are you doing?"

Maria struggled to break free from Li Ming's restraints and asked angrily.

"How did you come here after more than 9 reincarnations?" Li Ming looked confused, staring closely at Jiang Wenkan beside him and Maria in front of him, "Time reincarnation again and again, don't you feel the pain?" ?"

"None of your business." Maria's eyebrows twitched.

"I think in your heart, you still long to leave this cycle of time, right?" Li Ming tried his best to be friendly. He glanced at Jiang Wenkan, who was being controlled by Shanshi, and continued to use his own words, "To Don't really cooperate with us, I will take you away..."

"You want to rescue me? Is it just you? It's funny, a corpse can actually talk. I have seen your frightened face thousands of times. Is it just you who is lying there bloody?"

As if it touched her memories from tens of thousands of reincarnations, Maria tightly covered both sides of her head.

"I don't believe you. Besides, everything is meaningless. It's impossible to escape from here. I've tried every method."

"That's because you didn't seek cooperation."

There was cold sweat on Li Dang's tense face. He wanted to communicate with Maria while watching whether Jiang Wenkan on the side was a threat to them.

"Mizuno Ruri is your twin sister, so your name should also be a pseudonym, and... the most important thing is that I believe you are not the murderer."

"you……"

Maria hesitated to speak. In fact, she had wanted to get rid of all this for a long time. She had been in pain more than 9 times and was unable to extricate herself.

Seeing those people die in front of her eyes every time, seeing the blood flowing all over the room, and smelling those weird smells, her heart had already become cold, and she felt desperate in the true sense.

"Mizuno... Liuli..."

"Then can you tell me your name?" Li Ming stretched out his hand.

"Mizuno, Rinlu."

Maria's shoulders relaxed completely. After saying the name and tearing off the unfriendly crazy disguise, she became tired and melancholy, which was very different from her previous frivolous temperament.

"Sometimes I can remember the number of reincarnations, but sometimes I can't remember how much time has passed. I have already lost count."

"Every time, about 10 minutes later, that monster with asphalt spots and multiple eyes would appear. He would be tortured and killed before he could understand it. Of course, he would also be killed by the surviving teachers, killed by rocks, and eaten by corpses. Kill ghosts..."

Lin Lu said softly.

"When I wake up again, you people have always been killed by Shanshi in the exhibition hall, and this event lasted the longest. I don't know why you and Shanshi survived, and you still have the memory of the previous time. .”

Countless 10 minutes of cold death.

Perhaps the nerves that have not gone crazy are the most painful torture.

"The name Maria... is the name of a certain writer. I think this name has a lot to do with you, right?"

"Maria Mizuno is Ruri's favorite detective novel writer."

Lin Lu showed a sad look.

"We grew up in an orphanage. Although she and I have exactly the same face, our personalities are completely different. Our relationship is not very good."

"I will definitely be discriminated against by her for making money through despicable means. I also used to hate her for only talking about her ideals."

"This writer debuted when I was in the church's welfare high school. At that time, Liuli once joked with me... "Our last name is the same, there must be a special fate. If Rinlu realizes his dream of being an actor, he will use the name Mary. Let’s use Ya as a stage name.”

"Liuli, Liuli, now I can no longer see her, it feels like a lifetime ago..."

There was a muffled sound from Jiang Wenkan's side, and he could be heard gritting his teeth. He seemed to have restrained the change, and looked at the people in front of him tiredly.

Li Ming showed a grateful expression and concentrated on the conversation in front of him.

"I think... maybe the time cycle has become longer this time. It may be that the center of the magic circle was washed away by water droplets and the formation was destroyed, so it survived for such a long time."

Hearing this, Lin Lu smiled bitterly.

"The time I can survive is actually determined by the location of the water droplets... I thought that in the despair of so many reincarnations, I can no longer believe in fate, but this time with you alive, things will be different." indefinite."

"Yes, you should have such a hopeful mood." Kurosawa said approvingly, "Maybe you don't understand what we are saying, but we people are also trapped in different reincarnations like you, and we still The reason I persist is because I have this belief.”

"Then can you show me the briefcase in your hand?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

It was a standard metal briefcase. It felt heavy and difficult to lift easily. Li Ming tried it, and then he realized how tired Lin Lu must be from holding this briefcase tightly for so long...

"sure……"

The combination lock on the briefcase is a five-digit 26-character alphabet lock. The characters are very small and appear densely packed.

The password is "MARIA".

"This is Liuli's briefcase. It contains all Liuli's belongings... I beg you to find her."

The meaning of the password is the name of Ruri's favorite writer Mizuno Maria.

After opening the briefcase, you can see folklore research documents and some novels of the famous Mizuno Maria stuffed on one side. Everything is stamped with Mizuno Ruri's full name seal and is kept in an orderly manner.

Search and investigate inside and you will find a notebook with a pen and a small columnar object wrapped in foam plastic.

After unpacking it, I found a carved, pestle-like stone pile with a series of strange symbols on it, which looked like some kind of secret code.
