Global Game: I Have Portable Store

At this moment, Su Changxing received news about Chen Ling, discussing the issue concerning Guo Fengyan.

”An infinite loop prison?”

He frowned slightly, realizing the matter was unusual, and he had a premonition that the girl Guo Fengyan saw was Jin.

They basically had no understanding of the current situation in Donglin City, with the only information coming from Luo Haotian.

”The fact that he can communicate with Chen Lin means that everything he experienced isn’t a dream but is actually happening.”

”He’s in some kind of loop, where he dies if caught by the monster, sounding like an unsolvable problem.”

”But why would the wizards put Guo Fengyan in such a loop? What’s the purpose?”

Su Changxing immediately contacted Guo Fengyan directly, hoping to gather more information.

...

In the pitch-black room, accompanied by heavy breathing, Guo Fengyan lay motionless on the floor, staring at the snowflake screen on the ceiling but remained indifferent.

He had probably given up on such struggles.

Even though this loop continued incessantly, the physical strength and Spiritual Power he consumed were real.

At this rate, he wouldn’t be trapped here forever; at some point, he would die, just like those corpses, dying silently here.

The difference is, at least he could communicate with people outside at the last moment, avoiding dying in solitude, which might be a small blessing in the midst of misfortune.

At this moment, the phone for him was like a Venus in a vast desert, at least giving him a rough direction.

He stared at the ceiling, seeing that monster slowly crawling out from the snowflake screen, its Speed not fast, yet it brought extreme oppression, as if something was pressing on his chest.

This time he didn’t retreat but sat in place, looking at the phone, waiting for the next loop to arrive.

”Leader Su?”

He was taken aback, seeing Chen Ling saying Su Changxing would contact him directly, and sat up from the floor all of a sudden.

”Doesn’t this mean there’s still hope for me?”

He soon received a message from Su Changxing.

{I suspect your kind of loop is caused by some Mysterious Item’s characteristic, fixed and inflexible. In such a loop, what changes have you encountered?}

{I first saw a blue-haired woman, but never saw her again afterward, though I can still hear her footsteps getting farther away.}

{What does she look like?}

{I can’t remember, although I saw her once very clearly, I just can’t recall her appearance, as if a long time has passed.}

Can’t remember?

Su Changxing immediately realized something was very wrong; Extraordinary’s memory is usually excellent, and things seen in such a scene generally can’t be forgotten, unless interfered with by some external force.

If that really was Jin, why would she appear in such a place?

Was she also trapped?

Clearly, Jin wasn’t in the loop, or rather, she was the only change in this loop.

For Guo Fengyan to escape this loop, he must magnify this change, otherwise, he would certainly die in this loop.

Moreover, putting him in this loop was the purpose of those wizards.

{Can you try to communicate with her?}

{No, nobody responds to me at all, it seems like I’m the only one here. Moreover, I feel she already left here long ago.}

{You feel she already left here?}

{Yes, it seems like there’s only been me here all along, that’s how I feel, but there are many bones, seemingly imprisoning quite a few criminals... This is an ancient prison.}

{An ancient prison? An ancient prison?}

{No, I think this place wasn’t in our world before, the ceiling has strange patterns and unidentified text...}

The chat suddenly got cut off, and over ten minutes later, Guo Fengyan started sending messages again.

{Sorry, it rebooted once again... I can clearly feel my mind rapidly collapsing, maybe just a few more times and I’ll die completely.}

Su Changxing pondered for a while and then asked in a message: {Has there been any change to your body, besides becoming tired, are the injuries still present?}

Upon being asked this, Guo Fengyan froze for a moment, then looked down at his clothes and the previously scratched small foot.

Everything was intact!

”What’s going on? Do injuries also recover?”

He immediately informed Su Changxing: {Injuries also recover, it seems like except for my Spirit and physical strength, everything else resets, just like at the beginning.}

Su Changxing’s eyes suddenly turned solemn as he astutely guessed a truth, sighed, but didn’t reveal it, instead sending a message:

{That doesn’t seem important, what you need most now is to get out of this loop... Do you have a task?}

{Yes, it’s a task about escaping.}

{Received a task? A Doomsday Game task?}

{Yes, I got it, but I’m not a Doomsday Cult member, I know the Doomsday Cult has a unique task system, but before that, I was already an Extraordinary.}

{Seems like you have some understanding of the Doomsday Cult.}

{I have a few companions who joined the Doomsday Cult, so I know a bit, but I’ve already kicked them out of the team. They seem to need to thank me, so they weren’t captured.}

{You’re not dead yet, don’t rush to despair. To break through this loop, you need to find changes, or create changes.}

{What should I do?}

Guo Fengyan took a deep breath, realizing what Su Changxing said might not be that simple.

{I need you to gouge out your eyes before the next reboot, before that monster appears.}

{Gouge out my eyes?}

{Yes, the eyes, eyes are the windows to the soul, only by gouging out your eyes can you undergo a change.}

Su Changxing spoke vaguely, concealing the truth, but he needed to do so, sometimes a little lie is more effective.

At the very least, he couldn’t let Guo Fengyan have self-doubt at this moment.

The mere task for Guo Fengyan revealed much, not only guiding him but also indicating how Su Changxing should proceed.

{Leader Su, I trust you, I want to live through this, I have a daughter, I want to live to see her.}

{How old is she, she must be adorable.}

{She’s over ten, very naughty, her grades have always been bad, her mother worries a lot, they are in another city.}

After sending the message, Guo Fengyan looked at the ceiling, stretched his left hand towards his right eye, his facial expression contorting to the extreme, seemingly crying yet also like laughing.
