Survive for all and get a D-class simulator

Lin Ye hurriedly took a step back, but Jesse had already disappeared, just like that monster, without leaving a trace.

"… … damn it!"

Lin Ye turned around and walked back. If that D-level personnel hadn't lied to him, and wasn't mentally unstable, then the anomaly in this tunnel was likely related to time.

Lin Ye hadn't encountered anything that could manipulate time, but just imagining it made him feel incredibly troubled.

'No, it's still too early to draw conclusions. It's not necessarily a temporal anomaly; there could be other possibilities.'

Lin Ye walked back the way he came. He didn't know how long he walked, but it was definitely much longer than the time he had spent going deeper. The tunnel ahead was still long, and the entrance was nowhere to be seen.

'Oh, great, I'm going to be trapped here forever, aren't I?'

Lin Ye tore off some scraps of clothing and dropped them on the ground, continuing to walk towards the entrance. After walking for a while, everything suddenly went black.

Having experienced this situation twice, Lin Ye was already experienced. Something was probably passing by in front.

He took a step forward, the darkness disappeared, and a figure appeared diagonally in front of him in the tunnel.

It was the other D-level personnel.

"Why did you turn back?"

Renode looked at Lin Ye strangely, sensing that something was off about the person in front of him.

"Which number were you when you came in? How long have you been in here?"

"Heh, I knew this would happen."

Lin Ye quickened his pace. He didn't know if going forward would help, but he couldn't just commit suicide or stay put and wait to die. After all, even if he tried again, he wouldn't know what to do.

He didn't know how long he walked, Lin Ye just kept mechanically moving forward. Strangely, he didn't feel tired at all, nor did he want to eat or drink.

"What's going on? I feel kind of happy."

Lin Ye muttered to himself in the empty tunnel, his walking speed getting faster and faster. After walking for a long time, the tunnel finally went dark again.

This time Lin Ye didn't stop. The darkness flashed by, and he looked diagonally ahead, Lin Ye was stunned.

He saw himself.

Although the other person was wearing a helmet, Lin Ye was sure it was himself based on his body shape, skin color, and the familiar orange prison uniform.

The Lin Ye in front turned around and ran, and Lin Ye hurriedly chased after him, shouting for him to stop, but everything went black and that Lin Ye disappeared.

Lin Ye stood there in a daze, the scene seemed somewhat familiar.

He quickly looked at his own body, the wriggling flesh strips, the slender limbs, the bone spurs growing all over his waist… At some point, he had turned into a monster.

The monster he saw before was himself.

'Abyssal Egg… When was I affected? I didn't notice at all…'

'As expected of an Abyssal item, just carrying it will turn you into this.'

Lin Ye didn't feel anxious about turning into a monster, after all, this was just a simulation. What was important now was to think about how to get out; nothing else mattered.

'Time loop? But how exactly does it loop? Is it related to direction? Is it related to the number of people? Will killing those two D-level personnel cause this place to collapse? Should I commit suicide and report the situation here directly to the captain?'

As soon as this idea came up, Lin Ye eliminated this option. Unless the number of simulations returned to zero, he would not risk reporting directly to the captain.

First of all, his talent ability was a D-level personnel simulator. If he didn't resolve the anomaly, he might not be able to return at all.

In addition, Lin Ye was full of wariness towards the so-called organization. This was an organization that constantly used human lives to deal with anomalous events, and he couldn't imagine the organization's methods. Once he attracted the organization's attention, the consequences would be unpredictable.

In the worst case, Lin Ye might be trapped in the simulation by the organization, unable to return to the shelter.

He was not clear about the state of his body's existence. If he was just lying on the bed in the shelter, he would die of thirst in the shelter in a few days.

So he had to rely on himself to solve the anomalous situation in the tunnel.

While thinking, Lin Ye's footsteps didn't stop. After becoming a monster, his physical fitness was terrifyingly strong, and he didn't feel any fatigue at all.

Before Lin Ye could figure out the principle of the loop, the tunnel went dark again.

"Why is it so fast?"

Lin Ye took a step forward, the lights illuminated the tunnel, and a monster stood diagonally across the tunnel.

Its body was even larger than Lin Ye's current one, covered in various twisted and mutated organs, looking far more terrifying than Lin Ye was now.

This time Lin Ye didn't run away. He knew very well that the monster in front of him was himself in the next loop.

The two monsters approached each other in the middle of the tunnel. Lin Ye wanted to say hello, but only let out a strange roar.

The Lin Ye of the next loop had long considered this situation. He tore off a strip of flesh, and a large amount of dark red liquid was spilled on the ground.

After that, the Lin Ye of the next loop began to dip the flesh strip in blood and write on the ground. The monster's fingers were twisted and strange, and he could only barely grasp the flesh strip and write deformed characters like drawing.

Kill me quickly

This is the last chance

I can't hold on much longer

Miss this opportunity

Unable to perform the next simulation

Barely writing these words, the Lin Ye of the next loop forcefully tore open his chest cavity, exposing his vital point.

Lin Ye didn't hesitate at all, directly inserted his forelimb into the other's chest cavity, completely destroying 'his' vital point.

He believed in himself, and the other party wrote the information about the simulation. In any case, killing the other party would start the next simulation.

After that, Lin Ye added a few more attacks to make sure he had completely killed 'himself' before letting go of the corpse.

Just as Lin Ye was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly saw some scars on the surface of the corpse. Perhaps the monster's recovery ability was strong, and these scars had already healed, but they still left some traces on the surface.

There were three mathematical symbols representing positive infinity. The three symbols were interconnected, forming a strange symbol.

Lin Ye didn't understand what 'he' was trying to express for a moment. It couldn't be that the road was endless, right?

Even so, there was no need to draw three positive infinities; one would be despairing enough.

But soon, Lin Ye realized that they were not three positive infinities, but three Möbius strips.
