If it hadn't been for Shen Yu, would they ever have considered this possibility?
"Holy crap!"
Wen Zhishu was utterly stunned. "Doesn't that mean we've been hanging around a dead person this whole time?"
"No, wait. She came back to life after the time loop reset. So does that make her dead or alive? Or somewhere in between?"
"What would happen if she got out in this state?"
Wen Zhishu thought it over carefully, and a chill ran through him.
Su Nian only seemed to be living normally because the time loop was still in effect. What if it disappeared or stopped?
Would she stay the way she was, or would she turn straight into a corpse?
Huo Wujìu said, "Maybe she'd die. For anyone who died here, once they escaped this time loop, death might be all that awaited them. If those people found out, do you think they'd still want to break the time loop?"
Without breaking the time loop, they could keep living in this false world.
Once they broke it, they would have to die.
Then they would very likely stop anyone else from breaking it.
Wen Zhishu said, "Better to cling to life than have a good death. If I were dead too, I probably wouldn't want to break this time loop either, right? Aside from not being able to go home, living here isn't so bad."
"Actually, there's one question. Who originally owned the two rooms you and the others are staying in?"
Shen Yu suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Wen Zhishu and Huo Wujìu were a little puzzled, unsure why Shen Yu was asking this.
"Obviously..."
They realized they couldn't answer. Their memories of the original owners of these two rooms were completely blank.
Did these two rooms have original owners?
Of course they did.
