The night was dark and the town of Centralia was filled with poisonous fog. Only when you approach the mine could you hear the violent burning of underground fires.

With a few minutes left before midnight, Richard appeared at his own home in the town.

The two-story building was burned black by the fire, with its top collapsed, its walls cracked, and there was still unburned furniture in the living room.

Richard stood in the ruins, holding his hands subconsciously, staring in a certain direction with expressionless face, as if he was in a daze.

"Why? Why was that guy able to find me?!"

Richard made a scattered doubt, with a hint of uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

Trudeau and his group of investigators launched a half-century hunt for Richard, and many of them were desperate for the future that had no end day after day.

And Richard himself was not numb.

I will accompany Tru and others to play the game of cat and mouse. No matter how fun this game is, I will feel deeply bored after playing it for half a century.

The appearance of Fang Cheng and Isis brought new changes to this seemingly endless cycle.

But this change was not something Richard was happy to see.

Although he also hoped to get rid of this endless cycle of reincarnation in his heart, he did not hope that the price would be that the town of Centralia would be completely liberated, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to stick to it for so many years.

I originally thought that by relying on the ability to travel through space, Fang Cheng and Isis could retreat.

Who knew that after a few rounds, Fang Cheng could actually find his position accurately.

Richard's sense of security was suddenly broken and he fell into unprecedented panic.

Apart from his ability to travel through space, his own power is not very outstanding. Facing Fang Cheng and Isis who can kill him in seconds, he cannot have the desire to fight.

He stood in the living room and was stunned for a while until the bell of Ding! Ding! Ding! awakened Richard.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as the broken living room began to revive.

"They probably can't catch up here."

This is another point in time. Maybe fifty years ago, maybe thirty years ago, there are too many and I can't remember clearly.

Although Richard could not leave, he could shuttle back and forth in the town of Centralia at these different times, and he didn't believe Fang Cheng could catch him.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

When the bell rang, Fang Cheng and Isis also appeared in the town.

He released his bloodline elements as soon as possible, and then felt Richard standing in his living room.

Fang Cheng did not let go of Isis's hand, and pulled her to open the sub-space crack and cross it.

Richard, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, saw Fang Cheng and Isis appearing in front of him again, his eyes suddenly widened.

"you?!"

He has already run here, why can he still chase after him?

The answer to him was Fang Cheng's merciless attack.

The ending was not unexpected, and Richard ran away smoothly again. This time he did not run into the mine, but left the town of Centralia at this time and ran to another time.

Fang Cheng also opened the crack in the sub-space and pulled Isis to chase after him.

After both sides left, it seemed as if someone had turned the clock's pointer, and the recovery speed of the entire town was significantly accelerated.

Tru and others were just burned to death from the previous cycle of reincarnation. When they were resurrected, they faced the small town that had reached the end of their destruction again.

"Why? Why are you here again?"

Amid the cry of grief and anger, they were once again swallowed by the flames.

Richard escaped to the town of Centralia at another point in time, and it was still a few minutes before midnight.

The town was empty, but Richard felt no security.

He stood in the living room, like a frightened bird full of vigilance, but there was still a little luck left in his heart.

A few minutes later, when the bell rang, the town began to recover, as if it was a signal that Fang Cheng and Isis appeared again at Richard's home.

Richard's luck completely disappeared. He didn't say a word and chose to escape directly.

Fang Cheng and Isis looked at each other and followed closely.

After both sides left, the town's recovery speed accelerated again and was soon swallowed up by underground fire.

Trudeau and others who had just been burned to death were resurrected again.

Looking at the fire in front of them, they were filled with grief and anger, and thousands of words turned into only one word.

"Grass!"

Richard is like a frightened little animal.

He kept traveling through time at different points in time, never stopping, trying to get rid of Fang Cheng and Isis' pursuit.

Fang Cheng and Isis chased each other. Although they were more than a little behind Richard every time they traveled, they would not give up as long as the direction and road were correct.

Finally, there are Trudeau and other investigators who are forced to enjoy the accelerated cycle of reincarnation. Each resurrection is about to end, just like being in hell, enjoying the taste of barbecue for free.

...

I don't know how long it has been, when Fang Cheng and Isis appear in the town of Centralia again, their expressions are not so relaxed.

After traveling through the town of Centralia, time did not only stay before twelve o'clock, but after twelve o'clock, the residents had been resurrected for some time.

This happens because Richard runs too fast.

Every time he travels through time, he will start reincarnation, and every time he leaves, he will accelerate reincarnation.

Although Fang Cheng tried hard to chase, he never caught up, and he seemed to be thrown away further and further away.

Because Richard travels through time every time he travels, just open the subspace crack and drill in.

Fang Cheng had to open the subspace crack first, enter his subspace, and then open the crack and come out.

Because of one more process, the speed is much slower.

The two of them were able to catch up when the bell rang, and then slowly turned into a bell and the residents began to resurrect.

Even the monsters are about to appear now, which means that the two have been left farther and farther by Richard.

"How many times have you been?"

Fang Cheng asked Isis.

Isis kept calculating silently, and blurted out after hearing the inquiry: "Thirty-three hundred and thirty-five times."

I traveled 335 times in a row, but my goal was getting farther and farther.

Fang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "We are too optimistic. It's not that easy to catch him."

After so many times of traveling, he has now figured out the general situation of the entire town of Centralia.

Time in the town of Centralia is like a long strip strung together by countless small rings.

Each small ring is a cycle of reincarnation, from revival to destruction, the town of Centralia has been repeating this process.

When all the rings are connected, they are synchronized with the outside world's time, from 1962 to the time when Fang Cheng and Isis came in.

Every day outside is a new cycle for the town of Centralia.

In this half century, there are at least 18,000 reincarnations, and Richard can travel back and forth here, and you can imagine how difficult it is to catch him.

Isis comforted: "With our current pursuit speed, we can quickly complete these more than 10,000 times."

Fang Cheng said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of counting this time, but I'm afraid of chasing it to the end, so he's back to the starting point."

Hearing Fang Cheng say this, Isis also fell silent.

If Richard can really return to the starting point, it means he will never be able to catch him.

Judging from the experience of Fang Cheng and Isis running half a century ago, this situation is very likely.

Fortunately, neither of them were ordinary people, so they quickly cheered up and continued to pursue.

On the other hand, Richard, who had escaped at least more than a thousand reincarnations, also began to relax.

He knew the timing of the entire town of Centralia and knew that Fang Cheng and Isis had been thrown far away.

If they had no other way, it would be impossible to catch Richard and would not even catch up.

Richard was even able to return to the past time point and run behind Fang Cheng and Isis, and they would only know nothing.

After understanding this, the lost sense of security suddenly came back, and Richard completely relaxed.

He poured himself a glass of wine, lay on his sofa, and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"I have advised you to leave long ago. If you don't listen, then enjoy despair in the endless cycle of reincarnation."

Originally, Richard had no great malice to Fang Cheng and Isis, but the persistent pursuit of these two people made him feel hostile for a long time, wanting to teach them a profound lesson.

He raised his wine glass slightly, as if toasting Fang Cheng and Isis in the air.

"You will definitely like this, cheers."
