As soon as he heard that Liu Lijun had to be killed, Lu Hongyun's heart clenched. Before he could say anything, Lu Xinyue cried out.
"No!"
"How can we kill Sister Jun?"
"Captain Zhang, please think of another way."
"There must be another method. No matter what, she's still a human life."
"If we kill Sister Jun just to escape, won't you feel guilty?"
After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Shou Zhuang said,
"Miss Lu, I hope you understand that if there were any other way, I would never want to do this."
"But I've already tried every method we could think of. Even now, we still can't break the cycle."
"Right now, killing Liu Lijun is the method with the greatest chance of breaking the cycle."
"I can understand how you feel, but I hope you can understand me as well. I can't risk an entire team just for one Liu Lijun."
"Besides, Captain Luo Yan and the others might be fighting the giant beast to protect us even now."
"So let's escape the cycle as quickly as possible."
"Hengshan, did you hear what I just said?"
Lian Hengshan glanced at the pocket holding the syringe. "I heard you."
Amusement park, Haunted House.
Although Zhang Shou Zhuang said they had already experienced several cycles, Lian Hengshan still couldn't remember what had happened inside the Haunted House.
There was nothing he could do about it. When Luo Yan and the others opened fire on the mecha, Lian Hengshan and the others had been inside the Haunted House and hadn't been affected by the impact.
Because they hadn't been "awakened," Lian Hengshan forgot everything that had happened whenever the cycle restarted.
"But still..."
Looking at the Haunted House's pitch-black entrance,
"I do feel like I've been here before."
