Chapter 340 Reincarnation
squeak...

The moment it was pushed open, the old glass door made a slight sound, breaking the tranquility in the bookstore.

but……

The silver-haired girl sitting on the chair and the black cat beside her were still quietly staying in a corner of the bookstore, with no sign of looking up.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the cool breeze in the bookstore while walking towards the direction of the black cat and the girl.

"Hello, may I ask..."

As soon as the words came out, the girl who was concentrating on reading slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Fan.

The moment he saw the girl's face, Chen Fan felt his heart skip a beat.

In the girl's left eye socket, there was a mechanical prosthetic eye - she was a disabled person.

Looking at the light blue light flashing in the eyes of the flexibly rotating mechanical robot, Chen Fan felt a stronger sense of familiarity in his heart.

only……

Where had he seen this girl before?
Chen Fan swallowed his original words and subconsciously changed the question: "Um... have we met somewhere before?"

The girl tilted her head, her lifeless eyes full of confusion: "?"

"Alright, alright." The young woman behind him urged, "Your pick-up tactics are too old-fashioned. Be careful not to scare my customers away!"

Chen Fan laughed in silence and pointed at the black cat beside him: "Sorry, that was a bit abrupt."

"I just want to ask, do you know this cat?"

The girl glanced sideways, made eye contact with the black cat lying on the ground, and then slowly shook her head.

Seeing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: I was lucky, at least nothing unnecessary happened.

He squatted down and carefully extended his right hand to the black cat - past experience told him that these kittens who yearned for freedom were not easy to get along with.

Surprisingly, the black cat with a glove pattern on its back did not object to his outstretched right hand.

On the contrary, the black cat raised its head and rubbed the back of Chen Fan's hand gently.

Chen Fan was delighted and quickly held the black cat in his arms - as far as he could remember, this should be the easiest commission.

The living expenses for the next half month are settled.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's smile brightened.

He thanked the woman with a high ponytail and walked out of the bookstore holding the well-behaved black cat in his arms.

The moment he pushed open the door of the bookstore, Chen Fan couldn't help but glance at the silver-haired girl who was still sitting on the chair and the woman with a high ponytail who returned to the bookstore counter.

That inexplicable feeling of familiarity came over him again.

Chen Fan shook his head, put the strange feeling in his heart behind him, and walked out of the bookstore.

……

FANCHENG INFORMATION CONSULTING LIMITED.

It is called a company, but in fact it is just an old rental house with a sign saying "Open for business" - the job of a private detective is not very public, so Chen Fan naturally cannot publicize his work.

He struggled to pull up the dilapidated rolling shutter door, pushed open the somewhat cloudy glass door and entered his studio and bedroom.

Messy paper documents were spread out casually on the table. There was even an unfinished bowl of Kangshoufu instant noodles in the corner of the table. The air in the room was as turbid as the glass door.

Chen Fan casually threw the black cat in his arms onto a pile of paper documents, then turned around and looked through the client's information.

but……

One minute, two minutes...

Ten minutes later, Chen Fan slumped in a boss chair with a look of doubt on his face. The cold wind from the air conditioner beside him could not lower his temperature at this moment.

It's over. This time it's completely over - the cat was indeed found, but he couldn't find the client's information!
Chen Fan, sitting on the chair, frowned and carefully recalled what happened yesterday.

For some reason, he couldn't remember the client's real face and contact information. The only thing he remembered was the idea of ​​finding a cat that appeared in his mind "out of thin air" early in the morning.

"This is fucking..." Chen Fan raised his hand and scratched his head in annoyance, "Isn't this too weird?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the two women he met in the bookstore.

There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but there is no information about the two of them in my memory.

Just like this commission.

Thinking back carefully, there was something a bit weird about the silver-haired girl - not to mention the rare long silver hair, just the mechanical prosthetic eye that glowed with blue light, could this thing really be produced by existing technology?
Chen Fan shuddered slightly and turned to look at the black cat that was already resting on the table.

Perhaps noticing Chen Fan's gaze, the black cat slowly opened its eyes.

At the moment when the man and the cat looked at each other, a faint electronic synthesized voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind:
"Warning! Brain activity is about to exceed controllable range..."

As an electronic synthesized sound rang out, a dark, deep tower filled with various blue and red lights flashed before his eyes.

"...What the hell?!"

Chen Fan suddenly came back to his senses and touched his back with a look of horror.

A cold sweat.

"..." He swallowed hard, the fear in his eyes reaching its peak, "This is weird, too, too weird..."

He turned his head to look at the setting sun outside the door, and with a ruthless heart, he picked up the black cat from the desk and threw it out the glass door. If he couldn't afford to offend him, couldn't he just hide? !
Watching the black cat slowly walking away, Chen Fan felt a little more at ease.

A few hours later, after finishing all the remaining matters, Chen Fan fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day.

The shrill cicada sounds and waves of heat hit him in the face, and Chen Fan even heard the roar of some car engines.

He suddenly opened his eyes, but was stunned by the scene in front of him - at this moment, he was standing under the shade of a tree, holding on to the dry trunk of the ancient tree with one hand, looking like he was about to faint from the heat.

"What the hell?"

Chen Fan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and his groggy mind instantly cleared up: "What the hell is going on? Wasn't I asleep?"

"Detective Fan, what case have you received today?"

A familiar voice came from the side, attracting Chen Fan's attention - the young woman he had just met yesterday was pushing open the door of the bookstore and waving at him with a smile on her face.

"Just looking for a restless kitten..."

Before Chen Fan could recover from his shock, familiar yet unfamiliar words came out of his mouth unconsciously.

Damn it? !
Chen Fan became more and more horrified as he realized what he had just said.

World, the world line is reset?!
How could a failed private detective like him encounter such a thing? ! !
In order to verify his guess, Chen Fan subconsciously stepped forward. Amid the exclamation of the woman with a high ponytail, he eagerly pushed open the door of the bookstore and entered.

The silver-haired girl and the black cat stayed quietly in a corner of the bookstore.

really.

Looking at the identical scene in the bookstore, Chen Fan's guess was completely verified.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The woman with a high ponytail seemed a little angry and questioned Chen Fan in a low voice.

"This cat... seems to be the cat I'm looking for." Chen Fan, with a troubled mind, pointed at the black cat on the ground and said casually.

"Huh?" The high-ponytailed girl exclaimed softly, muttering to herself, "Where did the kitten come from?"

"Has another cat gone missing around here?"

Hearing the familiar words, Chen Fan's heart trembled slightly.

again?
For some reason, when Chen Fan heard the word "again", he had an extremely bad feeling in his mind.

At the same time, the black cat that had been lying on the ground raised its head and looked at Chen Fan.

The moment the two looked at each other, an inexplicable feeling of dizziness surged into Chen Fan's heart, and the strange sound he heard last night rang again.

"Warning! The investigator's brain activity has exceeded controllable limits!"

The strange tower flashing with green and red light appeared in front of Chen Fan again. It was slightly different from last night. This time, the surrounding green and red light was flashing violently, and countless nameless machines with bared fangs and claws were grabbing towards where he was!

Not only that, a faint, indistinct, and obscure murmur inexplicably emerged in his mind.

"Chen Fan?" The concerned voice of the high-ponytailed woman came from the side, pulling Chen Fan out of the illusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Fan looked at the high ponytailed woman in front of him in confusion, and countless similar images flashed through his mind.

Same bookstore, same time...

Day after day, the same conversation is repeated every day!
However, starting from the middle-aged woman at the beginning, the other party's appearance seemed to be affected by something, and gradually turned into the young woman with a high ponytail in front of him!
Looking at the woman with a high ponytail reaching out to him, Chen Fan took a half step back in horror: "You..."

He didn't know how to describe the feeling.

No wonder the other party said “again”!
He has experienced the same scene countless times! !
It's like a movie that keeps repeating itself, and he is trapped in this cycle, repeating the same life and experiences over and over again!

"warn!!"

A strange electronic synthesized voice was heard with a hint of urgency: "The investigator is about to enter a deep resonance state! Attempting to forcefully awaken him!!"

Chen Fan shook his head vigorously and rushed out.

I don’t know when it started, the scorching sun has disappeared, and the unique heat of summer has also dissipated.

Between heaven and earth, there was an inexplicable and familiar green and red light.

Chen Fan suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

"This……"

His voice paused, and he stared with shock at the horrifying scene in the sky - the original position of the sun was replaced by a huge mechanical ball.

There is a clearly visible rock-gray scar on the surface of the mechanical ball. The scar is uneven and looks like a mountain range.

And the blue-red light that spread between heaven and earth came from this giant mechanical ball! !
Behind him, the door of the bookstore burst open, and the black cat with the radio pattern on its back jumped to Chen Fan's right hand, opened its mouth and let out a hissing sound: "Warning!!"

"The investigator has entered a deep resonance state!!"

Chen Fan suddenly realized——

It turns out that the faint electronic synthesized sound came from the black cat in front of me!
