Gu Yuan woke up and found himself standing at the same subway station entrance for the third time. The phone screen flashed a cold rule: "Anyone who stays in the site for more than 5 minutes will disappear permanently." And he has been standing here for 4 minutes and 59 seconds.
What's even weirder is - he is the only one who remembers the first two cycles. Those passengers who disappeared under strange slogans, and those NPCs whose behavior was so repetitive that it was so creepy, all reminded him: this is not just a time loop, but a carefully designed hunting game. The only good news was that he discovered that with each cycle, tiny loopholes appeared in the rules.
But when he woke up for the fourth time, he saw new rules. Gu Yuan realized: he was not breaking the cycle, but the cycle was waiting for him to enter.
