The two of them, working together, broke through several nodes in succession.
But just when Wen Xishu and Sirius thought they were about to complete the escape and end this long journey—
A variable appeared.
The ninth node.
When Wen Xishu opened his eyes again, he heard the roar of the Sea Beast, the tide, and the immense pressure coming from Von Neumann.
That feeling was incredibly familiar to Wen Xishu.
Just like how everything was at the beginning.
"How... did we end up back here?"
The storage room.
The slight warmth after the Scorpio Knife turned into a bonfire still lingered.
This was how it looked right after Scorpio had left.
Wen Xishu was shocked. Sirius was also a bit surprised.
"What's going on?"
Sirius was puzzled. Logically, after Wen Xishu traversed so many nodes unknown to him, he should have moved on to nodes familiar to Sirius.
But now, Wen Xishu had returned to the starting point.
A time loop trap?
