Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 280 How to break the situation
The changes in the countdown timer on the God Watch are crucial.

There are many forms of time and space reincarnation.

The most powerful thing is absolute time loop, where everything in the world is trapped in a loop, truly controlling the timeline. The East Sea Team is absolutely impossible to mess with; they can kill a group of weaklings like the East Sea Team with just one look.

What the East Sea team is experiencing now is only a local time loop, retracing back to this dark and ghostly realm. The main world on which it relies is still flowing normally, which has indirectly proven that the red-clothed female ghost in "The Curse of the Ghost Girl" is not that strong.

After noticing the change in time, Xiangzi asked, "Two seconds have passed in the countdown... Does this mean one second has elapsed after a time rewind? Or does it mean that the time we experienced in the Ghost Realm has been converted into two seconds of time in the real world?"

Xu Feng replied, "It's the latter."

He was very sure of this.

"So, as long as we hold out until the countdown ends, we can return to the Main God Space?" Renbang said with a smile. "It seems that the difficulty of this horror movie is not very high. After all, the red-clothed female ghost is no match for us in a head-on battle. As long as we are careful, it won't be difficult for us to survive."

Before we could rewind time, Xu Feng, the strongest player on the East China Sea team, had even made a move, while the others had already beaten the red-clad female ghost into a sorry state.

In Renbang's view, even though they would spend a very long time in the next '36 hours' and face many attacks, they could pass through the cycle of reincarnation simply by enduring this time. This cycle of reincarnation, which could be passed by simply waiting out time, was much safer than he had anticipated.

"No, it's difficult."

Xu Feng scrutinized the hundred-armed giant not far away: "In the last round, the hundred-armed giant was destroyed by the red-clothed female ghost. Theoretically, it can indeed reappear as time goes back, but this time travel is under the control of the red-clothed female ghost. Will she return our helper to us willingly?"

"You mean to say that the hundred-armed giant in front of us is actually controlled by the red-clothed female ghost?" Xiangzi immediately became alert.

She asked, drawing inferences from this example, "Does that mean that anyone killed or any object destroyed in our team will become a puppet of the woman in red?"

Xiangzi's expression turned somewhat grim. "If that's the case... it is indeed very difficult! As long as we make a mistake, our own combat power will decrease, while the red-clothed female ghost's combat power will increase accordingly; this ebb and flow will repeat thousands or hundreds of times. Even if our normal strength is far superior to hers, we will eventually be gradually brought to a close and defeated by her!"

At this time.

The biological Imperial Arm, the Hundred-Armed Giant, suddenly began to move on its own.

The communication between the senior members of the East China Sea team takes place within the mental energy chain. Normal mental energy controllers can only allow three to five people to communicate at the same time, but after Xiangzi cultivated the "Sixteen Contemplations Sutra of Pure Land" to establish her foundation, her mental energy has grown to the point that she can allow all the members of the East China Sea team to communicate at the same time.

The Hundred-Armed Giant and the Red-Clad Female Ghost behind the scenes didn't know what the veteran of the East Sea Team was saying, but they guessed from the changes in the veteran's expression that the Hundred-Armed Giant's identity as an 'undercover agent' had been exposed.

So, just like when it dealt with the red-clothed female ghost not long ago, it transformed from a harmless pet dog into a fighting stance over two meters tall. And after entering the fighting stance, it instantly entered a berserk mode, attempting to attack the East Sea Team of reincarnators.

With a thought, Xu Feng condensed a pair of golden Buddha palms, each as tall as two people, within the Tun Tun Domain before the others could react. These giant energy palms clasped together before the Hundred-Armed Giant launched its attack, pressing the Imperial Arm into its palms.

The next instant, the golden giant hand vanished, and the hundred-armed giant turned to ashes.

“This hundred-armed giant controlled by the enemy…” Xiangzi frowned and said, “It seems to be exactly the same as ours!”

It sounds like the enemy simply copied an item, but judging from the way the Hundred-Handed Giant launched its attack, the enemy mastered all of its technology when copying the item.

This is strange.

Why is the other party able to possess that ability? What gives them the right to do so?
Many seemingly insignificant details can be quite terrifying when examined closely.

"Yes, its abilities are exactly the same as our former hundred-armed giant," Xu Feng said with emotion. "This should be related to two other plot points... I hope the truth is not as I guessed."

Xiangzi glanced at Xu Feng and said with a hint of resentment, "Captain, if you've guessed something, but it's not appropriate for us to know, you might as well not say it!"

She really hates this kind of riddle-solving behavior!
Xu Feng said with a smile, "I'm not keeping you in suspense, I'm just giving you a little confidence... If you think even I'm at a loss, then you'll probably feel real despair."

"Alright, you handle the most dangerous things." Xiangzi then asked, "What should we do next?"

Before time rewinds, the East Sea team's plan was to follow the female protagonist Kanako to uncover the truth about the time loop. Now, Xu Feng has already glimpsed the truth about the time loop and written the hidden questions on the 'exam paper,' which now needs to be answered.

"Let's continue investigating the time loop from the perspective of the female protagonist, Kanako," Xu Feng said with a smile. "The truth seen from one perspective may not be the complete truth..."

"Also, in the last round, the woman in red attacked us first; this round, let's take the initiative to attack her!"

Just as the group was talking, the female protagonist of the story, Kanako, passed by again.

Xu Feng and his men followed her, and finally, after she entered her house, they waited quietly at her door for the red-clad female ghost to appear.

The East Sea team was very close to Kanako; the thin wall could not stop the reincarnators from spying into the room.

First, a phone call came from Kanako's room, followed by the sound of running water—the bathroom faucet had turned on automatically without anyone operating it.

The reincarnators all knew that the red-clad female ghost would appear at this point in the movie's plot.

"It's now!"

Outside the apartment door, Xu Feng commanded through the mental chains, "Mei, attack the female ghost with your strongest move!"

Aside from the little witch, the other members of the East Blue team found it difficult to unleash attacks that would make the Red-Clad Demon fearful. Although Tifa was stronger, she was limited by her weapon and could not yet harm the Red-Clad Demon's core.

It would be most appropriate to have Mei in her divine descent state take action.

Moreover... if the plan goes smoothly, after two or three more times, we can complete one-third of the mission through this scene.

The order had barely been given when a long sword radiating golden light cleaved through the apartment door. The blade moved with incredible speed, passing over the female protagonist Kanako and piercing the body of the red-clad female ghost in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, golden rune chains reappeared on the blade, ready to seize the power of the red-clad female ghost.

Last time, it was this very move that forced the red-clad female ghost to undergo a time loop.

Just as the rest of the Donghai team were preparing for the next cycle of time, the entire apartment building began to shake.

Twisted faces appeared on the walls, and pale arms emerged from the ceiling and floor, attempting to pour boundless resentment into the minds of the Donghai team members and try to grab them.

Mei, the red-clad female ghost, was the primary target of the knife-wielding attack. Most of the arms reached for her, and under the onslaught of those arms, she had no choice but to draw her knife to defend herself.

After losing Murasame's suppression, the red-clad female ghost's body quickly merged into the apartment building, and immediately, those distorted faces and arms became even more agile.

"Is this the true face of the woman in red?" Renbang clicked his tongue. "The entire building is her body?" "No... she's much bigger than you think," Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Could she be the Ghost Realm itself?!" Renbang thought of the most dangerous possibility.

Xu Feng nodded and said, "You guessed right."

"However, defeating her is not the same as destroying the entire Ghost Realm. Well, destroying the entire Ghost Realm is also a way of defeating her."

The red-clad female ghost displayed a very strong skill, but in Xu Feng's eyes, the more abilities she demonstrated, the more flaws she exposed.

Faced with attacks from all directions, Xu Feng did not make a move; others could handle the situation.

Mei, holding a knife, stands protectively beside the female protagonist, Kanako.

She was incredibly fast; ordinary people couldn't catch a glimpse of her. All they could see was a golden light that kept changing its trajectory. Before the arms and moving walls could even touch Kanako and Mei, they were already shredded to pieces by the golden blade energy.

Tifa protected the newcomers of the East China Sea team, and streams of extremely clear water transformed into various weapons, severing the newly grown arms.

The others each used their own unique skills.

Among them, Shoko slowly gathered her psychic power while holding the Romantic Cannon. This Imperial Arm, which can convert mental power into shockwaves, was also strengthened. After using high-grade materials from the God Space to make up for its defects, its already extremely high upper limit was raised again. The shockwaves converted from psychic power also have considerable anti-spirit abilities.

Xiangzi smiled confidently: "A mere building is nothing but a target under the muzzle of the enhanced Romantic Fortress!"

To ordinary people, this Imperial Arms requires mental stimulation to unleash a powerful attack, but in the hands of her, a mental power controller... all she needs to do is unleash her mental power!
in a blink.

A massive beam of light erupted from the muzzle of the Romantic Fortress, first sweeping diagonally upwards across the entire residential building, piercing the sky, and then diagonally downwards, piercing the earth.

Before Xiangzi could proceed to the second step, the rest of the Donghai team had already left the apartment building and were flying in the air using the new power armor's flight system.

"That's incredible! It's clearly a sniper rifle, but the shockwave it unleashed was almost as powerful as a small nuclear weapon!" Renbang exclaimed in amazement.

"Don't let your guard down, this is just the beginning," Xu Feng cautioned.

I saw.

Before the smoke of battle had even cleared, the residential buildings that had been reduced to dust by Xiangzi's bombardment had already returned to their original state.

"It can even instantly restore damage caused by telekinesis?" Xiangzi bit her lip. Launching this attack had consumed a lot of her mental energy and telekinesis.

“That’s normal,” Xu Feng said. “You can’t use conventional methods when dealing with this kind of enemy.”

At this time.

Mei noticed something, though: "Why hasn't the woman in red used her time loop ability even though we've forced her into such a sorry state?"

The red-clad female ghost's abilities are dangerous, but the East Sea Team is now initiating the attack.

Swords and blades, gleaming with different lights, were wielded incessantly, and gunfire never ceased.

The red-clad female ghost was passively taking hits from various spirit attacks.

Mei glanced at Kanako, the female protagonist she was holding, and said thoughtfully, "So... she is the core of each cycle of reincarnation? After losing this core, that person can no longer change time?"

Then she shook her head.

"No, the red-clothed female ghost can't be that weak. The time loop must be her doing, but this kind of time loop must be a spell with very complex conditions for its execution, and the female protagonist is the core of the spell!"

She suddenly realized that when Murasame absorbed the power of the woman in red, she felt a trace of fear and apprehension... Perhaps she wasn't afraid of Murasame's master, but rather worried that this key character in the plot would absorb her power!

"That's it! If Kanako could possess the power to defeat the red-clad female demon head-on, could this cycle end?"

Mei told Xu Feng her guess.

This conjecture was transmitted to the other members of the East China Sea team through the mental energy chain and was immediately agreed upon by some of them.

"Whether we can break the time loop is hard to say, but we will gain a powerful ally!" Renbang said first.

"Should we let the female ghost with unknown background get Murasame?" Shoko raised a different opinion after most people agreed.

She subconsciously thought the plan was unreliable and said with some worry, "This is dangerous! We still can't be sure if Kanako is the other side of the Red-Clothed Ghost, or if she will harbor ill will towards us after escaping. That knife in her hands will cause us a lot of trouble."

“There’s no need to worry about that. Just let Mei act as the filter,” Xu Feng said. “However, this kind of energy is very dangerous. The ‘filter’ will be in far greater danger than the female lead. Whether or not to adopt this plan is up to Mei to decide.”

After glimpsing part of the truth, Xu Feng felt he was almost capable of handling the aftermath of this incident.

No matter what choice Mei makes or what the consequences are, he can basically help Mei get through this situation... The only problem is that this situation should be the simplest of the three stories.

Seeing Xu Feng's almost tacit approval, Xiangzi said nothing more.

After all, Xu Feng possessed crucial intelligence that his less capable teammates were not qualified to know.

While continuing to bombard the buildings attacking the Reincarnators with the Imperial Arm Romantic Turret, she observed Sakurai Mei unleashing Murasame's strongest move once again, causing bursts of sword light to destroy the newly grown apartment buildings and absorb their special energy.

at last.

After accumulating an unknown amount of special energy, Sakurai Mei sheathed her sword, no longer relying on the Buddhist energy within the blade, but instead on the creature Murasame had slain within the scabbard.

Immediately, a strange red aura appeared all over the little witch's body, resembling a red dress.

His entire face changed rapidly, as if the red-clad female ghost was about to take over his body.

Knowing there was no time to lose, Mei immediately drew her sword again and used the power of Buddha to expel the force from her body and transfer it into the body of the female protagonist, Kanako.
