Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"But I still don't understand why there hasn't been a conscription."

Zhou Baiyu stroked his chin, considering the matter.

Mark said,

"At least there's some good news, isn't there? If it's not a time loop, our opponent isn't as terrifying. That means they don't control time."

Zhou Baiyu nodded, noticing that Mark also feared abilities related to time.

But the problem at hand was—how to find the source?

Mark said,

"Our biggest trouble right now is that we have no idea about our opponent's situation. It could be some kind of pollution, but we have no clue where the source is."

On Zhou Baiyu's phone appeared a red Dongfeng.

Because of the time discrepancy, he missed the white BYD.

Looking at the item on his phone, he said,

"Is there a way for me to retrieve the memories of these days?"

"Yes, but it would have to be after 4:30 a.m., before you wake up, when I transfer them to you through dreams, and you must consent. Otherwise, I can't do these things while you're awake."

Zhou Baiyu was quite satisfied with this response, of course, he didn't completely trust Mark.

However, right now, he indeed needed Mark's help.

And he needed to clarify something else:

"You said that the loop strengthens slightly each day and significantly every seven days; what do you think is the effect of the loop on you? How long before the loop starts to affect you?"

After a moment of silence, Mark said,

"It's hard to say, but I should be unaffected by the loop for quite a long time."

"However, time is something we can't afford to waste."

Zhou Baiyu had to admit, Mark was right. Time can't be wasted.

"Starting now, you are authorized; I need you to transfer my looped memories to me in the form of dreams."

"I will follow your command, my friend."

After finishing his statement, Mark fell silent.

Zhou Baiyu soon waited for his ride, as he still had an interview to attend.

Without constructing details on how to break the loop in his mind—Zhou Baiyu decided to live his life as scheduled.

Consequently, Zhou Baiyu went on to attend the interview as he always did.

But in the afternoon, he gathered all his friends at the Yunjin Tian river estate to discuss the recent events.

Guang Tongchen, Wuxin, Constantine, and all his other friends gathered, each with a look of disbelief on their faces.

For they couldn't imagine that they were trapped within a loop.

It was a difficult thing to understand.

It was as if at that very moment, you suddenly read a message that jolted you awake, urging you to remember it told you that you've been trapped in the same day for many years.

But you were unaware, you would only think: What sort of person would make such a boring claim?

Yesterday's events were vivid in your memory, and tomorrow would naturally follow smoothly.

So such talk would always seem like madness.

Zhou Baiyu wasn't spouting madness, or rather, because it was Zhou Baiyu speaking, although the others found it incredible, they chose to believe him.

So, Guang Tongchen and the others quickly devised a plan, preparing to search various parts of Linxiang City for any leads.

Of course, this was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Especially since he could remember some things through Mark, but the others couldn't.

Today, Guang Tongchen would start searching Linxiang City based on Zhou Baiyu's words.

What about tomorrow? Tomorrow both he and Guang Tongchen would have their memories reset.

Guang Tongchen would still choose—to search the same places again.

Zhou Baiyu might rely on Mark to remember Guang Tongchen's choices... but he didn't really want to overuse Mark.

He felt that relying too heavily on Mark wasn't a good thing.

He was afraid of Mark.

...

...

The next day.

When Zhou Baiyu opened his eyes in the morning, he subconsciously thought about the day's agenda.

But soon, with a hint from Mark, he recalled the recent dream.

"Please recall your dream, my friend."

Why did Mark suddenly speak up?

Following this thought, Zhou Baiyu recalled the dream and after a few minutes, he realized the horror of the situation.

"Turns out I'm trapped in a loop... "

An hour in a dream might only be a few minutes in reality. Using this method, Mark could turn a complete day into a dream, transferring it to Zhou Baiyu.

But it was worth noting not everyone can remember their dreams.

Even Zhou Baiyu could lose some details, luckily such losses didn't impact the overall situation significantly.

He rubbed his head:

"It seems that yesterday's search by Guang and the others yielded no results."

"That's right, if the pollution source was in a specific place, it definitely wouldn't be found so easily."

"This is the 22nd day already, and we are still trapped in the loop, still with no conscription... "

"Wait a minute!"

Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought of something.

There was no conscription in the real world, but couldn't he still enter the transfer station?

"How could I have been so negligent to think of this only now," he muttered to himself, his eyes lighting up.

"It's not a time loop but some force causing a mandatory loop, time flows normally... "

"At present, it seems the whole world is affected."

"But the transfer station isn't part of this world."

Though without conscription, one couldn't enter the Advanced World, that didn't mean one couldn't leave this world.

"I hope Lin can give me an answer."

...

...

The Transfer Station.

The moment Lin saw Zhou Baiyu's figure again, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish.
