My Endless Life

Li Qi then asked Sun Yu when the cycle began.

Or who came and caused the cycle.

But Sun Yu couldn't remember.

In her memory, these people seemed to have come after the cycle, otherwise they couldn't all become members of the village.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Li Qi canceled the hypnosis on Sun Yu.

At the same time, he stood up and said to Li Qiao:

"Sister, I'll go to these families and take another look."

"Don't you need my help?"

"No, you stay here and take care of the Sun family, don't let them get into trouble."

Li Qi simply instructed Li Qiao, then put on his clothes and left the Sun family's courtyard.

The heavy snow outside had stopped long ago. While it was still daytime and the sky was not as dark as at night, each household was working hard to clear the snow in front of their door.

Although the village was caught in a cycle, the heavy snow was real-time.

The snow had stopped two days ago, but the villagers turned a blind eye to it, as if they didn't care about anything except things related to the village.

Li Qi had just come out of Sun's house, and after walking a few steps, he saw a young couple clearing snow in the middle of the road, trying to clear a path.

The young couple looked only about 23 or 24 years old, like college students who had just graduated from college.

When they saw Li Qi coming out of the village, the woman stopped what she was doing and greeted Li Qi with a smile:

"Hey, Xiao An, are you out playing again? Come here and let your sister see if you have grown up."

The woman smiled strangely at Li Qi, like a weird aunt seducing a child.

Her husband beside her flicked her forehead with his hand and said helplessly:

"Be normal, don't scare the child."

After saying that, the husband turned to look at Li Qi and apologized: "Sorry, Xiao An, I didn't scare you, did I? Your sister Qianqian is like this, she is so old but still acts like a child. If I scared you, I will apologize to you when we come back to eat dumplings at my house."

"Hey, who is acting like a child!"

Hearing her husband say bad things about her, the wife hit her husband's shoulder as if complaining and acting like a spoiled child.

Li Qi looked at the young couple showing off their love in front of him and was speechless.

His mind swept over the two of them again, and then he ran to the next house without saying a word.

Li Qi had investigated this couple before, but because their behavior and mental strength did not look like those of the holders of the strange objects, Li Qi no longer paid attention to them.

Now Sun Yu said they were outsiders, and Li Qi looked at them again and again for a long time without seeing anything wrong, so he skipped the young couple again and went to see the expedition team he cared about the most.

The young couple were reporters, and it was normal for them to come here to investigate the disappearance of the factory.

After all, in the early days of the doomsday, the world still maintained a certain order. If they came here from the city to investigate during this period, it was possible that they would arrive at the mountain village when there was no electricity.

But that expedition team was not normal.

The day of eternal night came, and the world became extremely dim. The place without light outside the city became a forbidden area for humans. No one knew what was hidden in this dark area.

Perhaps some antifreeze beasts were still foraging in the wild, or there was simply pollution.

The expedition team was the most sensitive to danger in the world. They couldn't be unaware of the situation in the wild, but even so, they still questioned coming out for "exploration" and were eventually trapped here.

Li Qi thought that this expedition team was very suspicious.

Not to mention that they were obviously five people, but now one person was missing.

Therefore, Li Qi planned to carefully check the exploration team to see if he could find anything wrong.

The place where the exploration team lived was a two-story building that was rare in the village.

The two-story building should have been built by the former residents of the village. Now that the doomsday has come, the residents of the two-story building either went to the city for refuge or died somewhere. The building was a bargain for the exploration team and other outsiders.

When Li Qi came to the two-story building, he happened to see the exploration team clearing snow upstairs.

One person was on the roof of the two-story building, shoveling snow down, one person transferred the snow piled high on the ground to the cart, and then another person pushed the cart to the open space behind the building and moved the snow elsewhere.

Three of the four people were here, and the remaining one stayed in the room. Smelling the faint aroma of instant noodles in the air, Li Qi knew that the last person was "cooking" in the room.

After determining the location of the four people, Li Qi did not disturb them.

He used mental hints to make the four people ignore him, and he himself trotted into the small building and began to look for the four people's belongings.

Li Qi and Li Qiao had visited these four people before, but because they had not been able to identify who the problem was at that time, they did not enter the room to investigate carefully.

Now that Li Qi entered here, he noticed many things that were wrong.

According to the "eldest brother" of these four people, the middle-aged man in his forties, their parents had passed away for many years, and this small building was expanded by the four brothers and sisters on the original bungalow.

Therefore, normally, there may be some things of the elderly in the room, but not too many.

At least the elderly's clothes, shoes and daily necessities should be put away.

But Li Qi came to the room and took a look in the closet, but found a lot of things used by the elderly, and there were even children's toys in the drawer!

This proves that there were old people and children living in this building.

Let’s not talk about the old people for now, none of these four people are children.

And as people living in the village, there are not many things that villagers should use in their rooms, and most of them are equipment for exploration.

For example, ice shovels, ice picks, hiking boots... Li Qi even found the Luoyang shovel they hid in their luggage!

Wait, what does the expedition team want the Luoyang shovel for?

After checking the equipment of these people, Li Qi realized that something was wrong.

Regardless of whether these four people are the culprits who put the village into a cycle, just talking about their equipment is enough to prove that this group of people came prepared!

Because the area where Li Qi is located is still winter before the doomsday, but it is not as cold as the north.

The constant temperature at that time should be around 0 degrees.

If they came out to explore at this time, this group of people should not carry so many things that can only be used on snowy days.

And now there are anti-slip boots, ice picks and ice shovels, as well as warm tents and so on... This proves that they had expected the weather to become very cold.

Of course, these things are nothing. What really concerns Li Qi is the shovel used for digging, and...

"Compass? Are they here to explore or to rob tombs?"

Li Qi played with the special compass engraved with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in his hand, with a very strange expression.

Would a normal person bring a compass when exploring?

Would he bring a Luoyang shovel when exploring?

Obviously not!

Check out the correct version in 16191book1bar!

So what is their purpose...

Li Qi was still thinking, but suddenly he heard the sound of wind coming from behind him!

With a frown, Li Qi made a choice in a flash and rolled to the side.

Ding!

The thick baseball bat hit the ground with a crisp sound. Li Qi looked back and saw a disheveled, thin man standing behind him, looking at him with red eyes.

This man did not belong to any of the four people Li Qi had seen before.

He was the fifth person who disappeared!

Li Qi glanced at the sloppy man.

But it was just a glance, and the man completely disappeared in front of him, as if he had never existed.

"?!"

The man's disappearance made Li Qi alert.

Because he had not been able to sense any breath of the man before, until the moment before the other party attacked, Li Qi felt the other party's existence with his keen intuition.

That's why Li Qi chose to dodge instead of resisting.

In Li Qi's view, the attack of someone who could hide from his perception would definitely not be so simple.

But now Li Qi felt that he might have thought too much.

Judging from the way the man disappeared, his disappearance and appearance should not be his original intention.

So... either he used a strange object, or it was the price after using a strange object!

"Is this the reason why he disappeared? Wait, is he trapped in a loop?"

Li Qi suddenly thought of the most critical point.

The missing person in the expedition team was not in Sun Yu's memory. Does this prove that this person is not in the loop at all?

Just like Li Qi and Li Qiao.

Li Qi stared at the surroundings vigilantly, but the man disappeared and never appeared again.

This was not because he was afraid of Li Qi, but because the sound of the falling on the ground just now attracted the person who was cooking in the house.

"Who is it?"

The woman who was cooking noodles walked in with a spatula in one hand and a candle in the other.

The light of the candle swept across the room, but there was no one in the woman's perspective.

Even though Li Qi was actually standing in front of her, she ignored him.

"... Did I hear it wrong?"

After scanning the room, the ponytail woman frowned and muttered and turned away.

Li Qi watched her leave and focused his attention on other places.

This time, because he was vigilant enough, Li Qi was ready to react the moment the wind sounded.

He immediately turned around and raised his right hand to grab behind him!

Bang!

A dull sound rang out, and the metal baseball bat fell into Li Qi's hand, and Li Qi himself did not move at all.

The sloppy man who suddenly appeared behind him, his strength and speed were only at the level of ordinary people, which can be seen from the previous attack.

Li Qi took the other's baseball bat without any scruples. When he was about to kick the man behind him, the disheveled man suddenly disappeared from Li Qi's sight!

"?"

Li Qi was stunned after kicking in vain.

This time, he was concentrating on staring at this place and using his mental power. It was impossible for anyone to escape from Li Qi, even if the other party used a strange object.

But now the other party just disappeared from his sight!

Li Qi was stunned for a while, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he understood the reason for the other party's disappearance.

"Because I saw it..."

Thinking that the man disappeared twice because his eyes fell on him, Li Qi made a bold guess.
