Chapter 885 Fortunately It’s Us

He knew clearly that with his “Klein” level strength, it was impossible to escape this closed loop, so he had to force himself to break through and reach the human ceiling realm to have any chance of survival.

However, he had already pushed his potential to the extreme, yet still couldn’t break through that realm’s barrier.

He didn’t have much lifespan left.

Unprecedented anxiety and rage surged in his heart. He began to hate his own weakness, regret entering this fishing village, and even resent his future self for setting up this closed loop here.

Was he doing this deliberately?

Does he want to kill me?!

Wang Mian raised his head, his crimson eyes staring at Chen Yangrong’s chest that was almost completely absorbed into the stomach wall, and that long sword surrounded by flowing light rings…

At this moment, a crazy idea emerged in his mind.

Why not… just pull out that sword?!

As long as he pulls out that sword, he and his teammates could survive. As for what happens later… why should he care?

They, the [Mask], have worked hard for so many years, hanging their heads by their waists and dancing on knife edges, surviving countless near-death experiences. They’ve done enough for Da Xia, why can’t they be selfish just once?!

Wang Mian struggled to stand up, his crimson eyes fixated on that [Yi Yuan] sword as he slowly walked towards it.

“Yes! That’s right!” Chen Yangrong, with only his head exposed now, became excited upon seeing this, “Pull out this sword! All of you can survive!”

Wang Mian, wearing a gray cloak, stumbled to Chen Yangrong’s front. His right hand slowly raised, reaching for that long sword deeply embedded in flesh…

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a flash of clarity appeared in his blood-red eyes!

His hand stopped in mid-air.

What was he doing?

Wang Mian quickly withdrew his arm and looked up at the void above, fear appearing in his eyes.

It was that red moon.

After such a long time, the red moon’s influence on people’s emotions had reached a terrifying level.

He had just lost the race against time, when his mind was at its weakest. Now being corrupted by the red moon, his rationality was rapidly disappearing… he had almost done something irreversible.

How were the others doing?

Wang Mian bit his tongue, using pain to maintain his clarity as much as possible. He turned around and quickly left the giant beast’s corpse.

Meanwhile.

In the fishing village.

On the scorched ground, the blood-covered Whirlpool sat down holding a burning incense stick.

The blue smoke from the incense rose and transformed into a semi-virtual chain, firmly binding together the howling and fierce Moon Ghost, Sandalwood, Starmark, and Rose. Their pupils had already turned completely crimson.

“Whirlpool, are you really still okay?” Beside him, Scales asked weakly, his face covered in sweat.

“I’m fine, can hold on a bit longer.”

“Unexpected that under this red moon, you would be the one among us to hold out the longest.”

“Right? Aren’t I amazing?” Whirlpool forced a smile.

“Indeed.” Scales sincerely sighed, “Actually, I realized long ago that you’re smarter than any of us, you just pretend to be foolish…”

Whirlpool shrugged, “In the team, having you as the smart one is enough. Being a carefree fool can occasionally lighten the mood, nothing wrong with that.”

Scales looked at Whirlpool for a long while, then smiled slightly, “That’s why you’re smarter than me.”

Whirlpool didn’t respond. He just calmly watched Rose and the others who had lost their minds, helplessly closed his eyes, and slowly said:

“Actually, I really regret it.”

“What?”

“You know, we finally had a vacation. What’s wrong with everyone just having fun together? Why did we have to take this job?” Whirlpool’s eyes turned slightly red as his voice raised, “We’ve done enough for Da Xia, we just wanted to rest properly, what’s wrong with that?

Now look what happened, not only did we miss our vacation, we’re going to lose our lives…”

After a long silence, Scales said: “You’re right, but have you thought about it? If we didn’t come, then those sent here… would have been [Night Curtain].”

Investigating the fishing village wasn’t supposed to be the responsibility of veteran special teams like [Mask].

If [Night Curtain] hadn’t disappeared to Japan, if they hadn’t happened to return at this time, if their return hadn’t helped share [Mask]’s workload, then [Mask] wouldn’t have had this vacation. Without this vacation, they wouldn’t have come to investigate this fishing village on their way, and wouldn’t have been trapped in this time loop…

A series of coincidences changed the special team that came here from [Night Curtain] to [Mask].

The elderly Wang Mian tried his best to change history to make up for past regrets, but as Black Pupil said, some people’s destinies cannot be changed.

Hearing Scales’ words, Whirlpool froze.

In his mind appeared the images of those young figures standing on the award podium… they were the juniors that [Mask] had watched grow up.

After a moment, Whirlpool sighed:

“Then… good thing it was us.”

Good thing it was us,

And not them.

Both fell into silence.

Just then, a figure rapidly crossed the sky and landed before them.

“Captain?!” Whirlpool’s pupils contracted slightly upon seeing the aged Wang Mian, “How did you…”

Wang Mian didn’t answer, he just silently turned to look at the others who had lost their minds and were tied up, his brows tightly furrowed.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

Boom–!!

In the sky, that red moon had completely emerged from the clouds, its crimson light illuminating the earth. At the same time, a dazzling silver light burst from the deep sea, weaving into a circular ring with head and tail connected, rapidly expanding outward.

All matter within the range of this ring was annihilated, and simultaneously, a new world instantly reconstructed, time rewinding back three days.

“The loop is ending!” Wang Mian sensed the terrifying power of laws contained in that silver ring, his pupils suddenly contracting.

The end of the loop meant… the time law’s erasure was beginning.

Whirlpool stared blankly at the approaching ring in the distance, suddenly turned back, grabbed the aged Wang Mian’s shoulders, and two purple whirlpools simultaneously bloomed, one spinning on Wang Mian’s body, one spinning on Whirlpool’s chest.

An extremely pure spiritual force frantically poured into Wang Mian’s dried-up body.

Wang Mian was stunned, turned to look at Whirlpool, shock flashing in his eyes:

“Whirlpool! What are you doing?!”
