Chapter 39 Jason in the Theater
Hui Yuan first felt the benefits of losing his fear.

The secretion of adrenaline was not affected during the emergency, but the loss of fear meant that he did not have to worry about his thinking being interfered with by emotional factors, and he only felt more alert and awake.

Power, the final trump card, should not be played hastily from the beginning.Hui Yuan initially felt that he should test the nature of the other party first... Just in time, Zhe Lukui gave him another method.

Quickly glanced at Yumiko Yuki, confirming that she happened to be blocked by him and did not see the priest on the stairs at all, Hui Yuanchu said lightly: "Close your eyes and cover your ears."

Tamaki Yumiko was stunned for a short moment and immediately followed the instructions.

At the same time, Haiyuanchu took out the pistol Zorokui handed him from his arms, aimed at the half of the exposed face on the upper platform on the left, and fired without hesitation.

The gunfire vibrated in the narrow and enclosed elevator room, making it even more deafening.Even though Yumiko Tamaki covered her ears, she screamed in fright and hugged her head.

Hui Yuanchu clearly saw that the priest's face was instantly blasted with bullet holes, and at the same time, the whole person fell backward and disappeared from his sight.

But Hui Yuanchu was not relieved at all.

He just held his breath and pointed the gun at the upper left and lower right platforms in turn.

...Sure enough, after a few breaths, on the lower middle platform on the right, the figure of "Priest" slowly moved out from behind the partition wall again.

I can't see what's going on with the left side of my face that was shot just now.This time, the right half of "Priest"'s body was exposed from behind the partition wall.There was a smile on the right half of his face, looking up at Hui Yuanchu from bottom to top.

Hui Yuanchu fired another shot without hesitation.

The priest fell down again and went out, rolling behind the partition wall and out of sight.

But soon, he appeared on the upper left platform intact again.

This time, "Priest" was no longer hiding behind a partition.He stood completely on top of the steps, without any wounds on his body, and... finally took a step and walked down one step.

...Sure enough, it cannot be killed.Hui Yuanchu quickly thought about countermeasures.

Escape upwards, but no, the "priest" is blocking you there.

Escape downward... The priest has personally demonstrated that in this cycle, there is no difference between going down and going up.

Turn on the power and go straight to fight?Even if the opponent is torn into pieces ten thousand times, the opponent will probably be resurrected in an instant...

At this time, Hui Yuanchu had already realized that the disappearance of "Priest" and the loop section that time in the teaching building was not due to his defeat. It could even be said to have nothing to do with him, but it was vaguely possible to have something to do with Alyssa.

...Ah, right!Hui Yuanchu suddenly thought of something - this time the situation is different from last time. The last cycle was completely closed, but this time, there is only one way left!

Haiyuan forcefully pushed Tamaki Yumiko, who was still holding her head and huddled aside: "Go, get out."

Tamaki Yumiko didn't dare to lift her head, but just knocked open the emergency door and stumbled out.

Hui Yuanchu also followed out, while backing up, he continued to raise his gun and aim at the gradually shrinking gap of the slowly closing emergency door.

There were no footsteps in the stairwell.But Hui Yuanchu knew that the "priest" must be watching as he got closer.

At the last moment when the door closed, Hui Yuanchu saw the priest's figure appearing in the crack of the door, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

...But in the end, the door was successfully closed.

But Hui Yuan did not dare to be careless and still stared at the door of the stairwell, aiming his gun at it.

……

Ten seconds passed.The door didn't slam open from the inside.

Hui Yuanchu breathed a sigh of relief and put down his gun.

He knew that this hurdle was over.

"Priest" can't come out yet.

Huiyuan didn't know the nature of "priest" at first.Although he thought Orokui must know, it was a pity that he didn't have time to ask Orokui this question.

From the completely unreasonable way in which the "priest" appears and disappears, and from his performance as if he were immortal just now, Haiyuan guessed that this was a "phenomenal" existence like a murderer in a horror movie.

The two shots just now have proved that physical elimination of this kind of existence is meaningless.

But in contrast, there are certain rules for the actions of this existence.

Judging from the two brief contacts, Hui Yuan initially felt that within the rules of "Priest"... maybe he would not take the initiative to pursue him at least "at this stage".

"Hai...Haihara-kun?" Just as he stood there looking at the escape door and thinking, Tamaki Yumiko said in a trembling voice, "Just now, was that? Are we...safe now?"

Huiyuan came back to his senses.

"...It's okay, it's just the Crusaders." Hui Yuanchu said in a positive tone, "Don't worry, it has been completely resolved."

Since Tamaki Yumiko didn't see "Father", it would be better for him not to say anything for now.

A subtle intuition told him that if Tamaki Yumiko knew about this, something worse might happen.Yumiko Tamaki was relieved and collapsed on the ground.

The question is, what to do next... Hui Yuanchu continued to think.

Because of the "priest", the stairwell in front of you must not be accessible.

But if you don't go in, you can't get to the roof.

——Wait, why do you have to go to the roof?
Hui Yuanchu's eyes unconsciously drifted to the sparkling pool outside the gate, and a brilliant idea suddenly came to his mind: "Squad leader, I suddenly thought of a question... Please help me think about it."

"...Huh?" Tamaki Yumiko said blankly.

"Well, it just occurred to me...our purpose is to escape, not to go upstairs, right? Now that we have returned to the entrance of the lobby on the first floor...why don't we just leave? "

Yumiko Tamaki was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

Even Huiyuan himself thought it was very reasonable.

Because the reason why I chose the escape route from the roof was because I considered that the main entrance and the space outside the main entrance must be guarded by Crusaders.Maybe even in the middle of a crossfire.

But the current situation is - regardless of the reason, at least there is a quiet atmosphere outside.

So why not just leave?
The two looked at each other in surprise and walked quickly towards the door together.

The venue's automatic glass doors still work well, opening silently.

But as soon as he walked outside the door, Haiyuanchu immediately stopped and froze on the spot together with Tamaki Yumiko.

……

The entrance to the foyer of the New National Theater is not directly exposed to the outside world, but is hidden under the outer corridor of the theater.In this way, the gate and the outer corridor actually form a semi-enclosed courtyard design.

When the audience comes to the theater from the open urban space outside, they must first enter the semi-enclosed courtyard from the southern entrance, and then walk a certain distance before entering the east-facing foyer entrance.

In other words, if you just stand in the foyer and look out, you won't be able to see the space outside.At this time, the field of vision was limited to the pool sculpture in the courtyard and the wall of the corridor opposite.

But when Hui Yuan came outside the door and his field of vision expanded, he immediately saw something unusual.

Standing on the steps outside the main entrance, he should have seen the Capital Expressway Viaduct southeast of the theater through the gap in the cloister.But now there is only a gray sky.

Looking south, there should have been a busy intersection.But now, what appears there is...

The enclosed courtyard road extends southward, and after dozens of steps away from the theater building, it is suddenly engulfed by thick gray fog.

... gone.

Nothing is gone!
Except for the theater itself, the whole outside world is gone!
Suddenly, Hui Yuanchu's head was buzzing.

He suddenly noticed the pool and sculpture in front of him again.

The golden ripples in the pool and the shadows cast by the sculptures look sparse and ordinary, nothing weird at all.

But the problem is... there is obviously no sun or daylight in the sky.

Hui Yuanchu took a deep breath and finally understood.

He just thought that the circulation of the stairwell this time was different from the one in the teaching building, and there was still an exit.So, they are able to exit the loop.

But Hui Yuanchu now knows that he was wrong.

He's not out of the loop at all.

Because this cycle is not just about the stairwell.

It cuts the whole theater out of reality.
