"Looping Flight" Itanu: I Can Choose for Myself

Inside the Restroom.

The low rumble of the wheels faded into the distance. Aleksye exhaled and shook the water off his hands.

Judging from the length of the aisle, the Flight Attendants ' speed was noticeably slower than before.

She stood in front of the sink, listened intently for a few more seconds until it was completely quiet outside, then opened the half-closed door and went out.

Now, she needs to figure out what happened during that interval.

Itanu smacked his lips; the cool sensation hadn't completely dissipated.

He understood the situation.

The drink I casually grabbed turned out to be Item, and it looked like one of those power-up items.

He silently put away the remaining drinks, his resolve to follow the dark-haired youth growing stronger.

The other person didn't save the Item until the end of the Dungeon, but instead took a sip of it on the spot, which suggests they had a purpose.

She glanced sideways at the Bangs Man had also ordered a drink but hadn't drunk it immediately. He was leaning to the side, trying to extract information from the Flight Attendant.

Just a reminder?

You're overthinking it.

Whether or not to drink is the other person's own choice.

Over there, before the Item's effect expired, Yansheng ended the conversation.

He frowned slightly.

The exchange yielded some results, but not many.

The most valuable clue is that the Flight Attendant's perception differed significantly from that of the passengers on the plane.

He had some vague guesses about this.

Aleksye emerged from the Restroom and quickly scanned the surroundings.

The black-haired youth remained seated, while the other two stood up and went to stand in the aisle.

She walked straight over, her gaze unconsciously falling on the hands of the man with the mole at the corner of his mouth.

The other person was holding a bottle of beverage they had never seen before.

She paused involuntarily.

Once she stood still, before she could even speak, the Bangs Man opposite her spoke first:

"Friend, I think you don't actually need to avoid her."

After saying that, he showed off the drink in his hand.

Soon, Aleksye learned exactly what had happened during those few minutes.

Ignoring the provocative tone in his words, she stopped looking at the unopened bottle of beverage in the man's hand.

Based on the information provided by the other party, she also had some ideas.

The Flight Attendants and passengers did not have the same perception of when the news happened, meaning they were not in the same time and space.

In other words, these passengers were in a time period more than a decade earlier than the Flight Attendants.

After pondering for a moment, Aleksye suppressed these thoughts.

"We still have some time, let's continue with our previous actions."

After saying that, she walked clearly toward the Cockpit.

She didn't ask about the drink at all from beginning to end.

Itanu, who witnessed the whole thing, remained silent, only giving the Bangs Man beside him a cryptic look.

Putting aside the fact that the other party always spoke with hidden meanings, the fact that he was restrained by a strange force when the cutlery was thrown made him suspect that the other party was behind it.

Yansheng calm, casually stuffing the beverage bottle into the lining of his coat, then turned to the side, his gaze falling on the passengers on both sides of the aisle.

"Checking them one by one? That's a huge undertaking, considering there's more than just this one section of the aircraft cabin."

Upon hearing this, Itanu's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Just say what you're thinking."

"That Flight Attendant probably hasn't gone far," Yansheng said, tilting his head towards the end of the aisle, and said meaningfully, "How about... we ask her to come and 'assist' us?"

Having managed to obtain another Item in the Dungeon, Xu Xi was somewhat surprised but didn't show any further emotion.

With the Rollback available, he basically has no need for these Items.

After all, the Items he had acquired earlier had been sitting idle for quite some time.

He was more interested in the few words of information provided by the Flight Attendant than the Item drink.

First, here's the flight information for this aircraft.

Not only did it contradict the news in the Journal, but it also didn't match the information provided by the blond man sitting next to me.

Although the flight number and route provided by the blond man were blurred, he remembered that the man had said the flight time was only four hours, and it had already been flying for almost two hours.

However, the Flight Attendant said that the total flight time was five hours, and they had been flying for nearly three hours so far.

In addition, the blond man's understanding of the news was from more than 20 years ago, while the Flight Attendant said it was from more than 30 years ago.

Setting aside the possibility that the two are lying, it can only mean that they are in different timelines, but they are on the same plane.

Xu Xi was initially wondering what the point of that news story was.

Now he suddenly understood that there were three timelines for this plane from the very beginning.

The first timeline is also the earliest, which is when the plane crashed as reported in the news.

The second timeline is the one where the blond man and the other passengers reside, more than twenty years after the plane crash.

Finally, the Flight Attendant's timeline is ten years later than that of the blond man's group of passengers.

Xu Xi glanced at the pale-skinned blond man and the other passengers whose bodies had also stiffened, then silently looked away.

He roughly understands the background of this Dungeon.

After the plane crash reported in the news, the wrecked aircraft was put back into service. If nothing unexpected happened, the blond man and his passengers would have another accident while on board. After that plane crashed again, it was salvaged and repaired a second time, which is why there was a third "plane" where the Flight Attendants were.

This explains why, if the plane crashed in the news was the same one they were on, the Dungeon would go to the trouble of obscuring the flight information provided by the blond man.

Because it's essentially the same aircraft, only the flight number and route have been changed after refurbishment.

No wonder none of the passengers paid any attention to the Flight Attendants.

He finally figured out the cause and effect, but he still had no clue how to clear the Dungeon.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

Itanu was originally waiting for an opportunity for the dark-haired youth to give him a ride.

But when his gaze swept over, the other person simply remained seated, leaning against the porthole and resting his forehead on his hand, showing no intention of getting up.

Then he saw the Bangs Man walk ahead pause as he passed the other person's row of seats, turn his head and say, "That blond player went to the Cockpit. We're planning to go find that Flight Attendant and tell her that a passenger is carrying dangerous items. Friend, anyone interested in coming along?"

Itanu's brow twitched slightly.

On the surface, this is an invitation, but in reality, it's implying that everyone is looking for clues, and it's inappropriate for you to sit still alone.

He instinctively looked at the young man.

The other person calmly retorted, "What if there are no dangerous items?"

There was a two-second silence.

"... How will we know if we have it if we don't check?" Yansheng said with a smile, his fingers tightening slightly for a moment as he gripped the bottle of drink in his coat pocket.

Itanu stood there, watching the Bangs Man walk away, then turned his head to meet the young man's calm gaze. After a moment, he casually leaned back into his seat.
