Chapter 125 Result

White remembered everything: there was a newspaper in his black jacket, he remembered wearing smoky gray sunglasses, and the shoes by the door had just been washed.

What a beautiful morning, finally no longer part of the cycle.

He got out of bed, lazily put on his clothes, ate some bread, and was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something.

What's the date today?

He picked up the alarm clock, as if to repeat the handshake scene many times, and used his sharp fingernails to scrape off the dust covering the date.

March 20th marked exactly twenty days since the date in the cycle was reached.

Could something else be wrong?

White was distracted. On the one hand, he believed that the cycle had ended, that the events that occurred within the cycle were all false and would not actually happen, and that people outside the cycle continued to live their normal lives.

In other words, the four agents should still be trapped inside the mirror.

White actually started to worry, and even had to catch his breath. He kept his head down and his arms hanging down. Was he afraid or uneasy in this posture?

A broadcast came from outside, announcing the satellite's progress: the satellite had successfully located the old city and transmitted clear images.

It's impossible to tell whether this is sad bad news or exciting good news.

The radio broadcast was intermittent, stopping and starting, which was very abnormal. A bottle of milk on the coffee table next to me had been sitting there for days, which was unpleasant to look at.

Even though I've broken free from the loop, I can still hear those nightmarish whispers.

'You reincarnated beings, just wait for your extinction.'

I can tell it's Mora's voice. How does he transmit sound? Through the air or his brain?

White recalled what had happened in the obelisk and couldn't help but feel afraid. If the events in the loop really happened, how would it end?

He pretended to be calm, made himself a pretzel, and carefully tilted his mouth to suck in a little cool air while biting into it. Sometimes he would suddenly tremble with uncontrollable joy, which was very unseemly.

A stray cat lingering outside let out a strange, mad, and evil scream. After this scream, a few people came and started wiping their shoes on the carpet outside.

"Mr. White, please open the door."

"who?"

"Investigation team."

White had already gripped the doorknob, ready to open the door, but upon hearing that it was the investigation team, he quickly let go of the doorknob.

"Investigation team? What do you need me for?"

"The results from the Old City are out, Mr. White. Don't ask questions you already know the answer to."

The investigation team's response is truly frightening! If I'm not mistaken, the worst-case scenario has already occurred.

Mora's nest has been discovered.

White opened the door, and an investigator wearing a plaid shirt and a trench coat stepped into the room, pulling an ID card out of his chest.

“You are under arrest, Mr. White, on charges of breach of discipline.”

White didn't dare touch the document, as if an ugly toad was perched on it.

"What? What did you say?"

Another investigator, with a dark complexion and wearing a fake breastplate, followed closely behind and said, "No need to repeat myself, right? Didn't you hear what the broadcast said? The satellite has discovered the old city."

"I know, but what does this have to do with me?"

"You and Ryan are hiding the truth."

"Raine!"

"That's the truth. Irenshere exposed your dangerous act of harboring criminals. Mr. Chiri was not murdered. Behind that painting on the second floor of the obelisk..."

"Wait! Please wait!"

"Is there anything else you need to defend yourself with?"

"Lisa, can I meet her?"

"Oh, we're just about to take you to see her."

Upon hearing this answer, White realized he had fallen into a treacherous trap. His expression remained unchanged, like a stagnant pool of water, as if he wished he could leave the stronghold while no one was around.

The Union Prison, specifically designed for agents who violate discipline, actually consists of only a few rooms, but its security facilities are extremely comprehensive. Located in the lower ring of the wall, it is filled with the cold aura of iron and the scorching heat of forging; even before entering the room, it feels as if it has been roasted by fire.

Normally, serious crimes are handed over to high-ranking officials for handling, but White was only taken to the Union prison for disciplinary violations.

When asked about Ryan, both investigators said that an accident occurred during the handover to the senior officer, but they did not specify what kind of accident it was.

White is not a person who likes to communicate with people. The two investigators told him that the obelisk was no longer open, all agents were on standby, and the fortress had activated a level one response. But White was thinking about two other things.

Did Irenshere die? And how come Richie wasn't killed?

He was taken to an isolation room for a body scan, and then taken to another small room.

There was a fierce-looking dog squatting at the door of the small room. Could this be the so-called security facility? Apart from that, I didn't see any security equipment to prevent people from breaking in or to prevent them from escaping.

There was only a table, two chairs with backs, and an empty cup in the corner, with a used lipstick next to it.

Investigators removed White's handcuffs.

"Wait a moment, she'll be here soon."

A moment of silence. This world has long since become a place of no secrets for spies, but for White, secrets are everywhere. When exactly were the secrets about Mora's lair and what he and Ryan did leaked out?

It's probably only related to cycles.

So, is it as Mora said, that it wasn't a curse at all, but just a trap used by agents to extract information, like a common tactic?

Now it was clear that he had fallen into the trap set by those four people.

The room door opened with a click and then locked with another click.

Lisa entered the small room and sat down on the chair opposite. Her alluring eyes made one believe that looking into them would bring misfortune.

White seemed to have changed his mindset, asking seriously, "I'm stuck in a time loop, where did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere."

"No, you've entered the cycle too. Don't think I didn't notice."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"The couple kissing passionately in front of me is you and your husband. The cycle officially began the moment I saw you."

"Good reasoning, anything else?"

"I've always thought the best of you, but you are a nightmare demon after all, and creating nightmares is your specialty."

"Where's the evidence?"

“Whisper, you said, how does it feel to be wronged? Is it boring to lie and cover up the truth for Raine? You even asked me to go to Mia for help. Until the very last moment, I finally recognized your voice.”

"That's correct. Are there any other questions?"

"You used the method of creating recurring nightmares to find Mora's lair. This definitely wasn't your idea. I'm familiar with the smell of this rotten idea. Irencel, is he really dead?"

"No, neither he nor Richie did."

"In other words, they faked their death to lower Renn's guard."

"Indeed, he most likely said that."

When did you first come into contact with him?

"Leviathan Coast".

What did he say to you?

"Beware of the celestial beings."

"Then you must know that the people in the heavens are not referring to me and Ryan."

"Yes, that also includes the wizard and Mora."

"Oh, you've investigated everything I know. There's one last question. I just heard from those two investigators that something happened to Ryan. Could this accident be referring to..."

"Just as you guessed, he's lost his mind."

Do you know what you're dealing with?

"I know, that's exactly what secret agents should do."

"Ah, if I had half your courage, maybe I wouldn't have..."

“There is still hope, Mr. White. As an agent, please stop doing such sneaky work. Your sense of justice has not disappeared. This is the conclusion I drew from my dream.”

White looked at the other person in surprise.

He didn't know when Lisa left the room, and the door wasn't locked.
