Chapter 5 Time Ring
"Everyone has talked about that campus legend to some extent." Jiang Xinyi said while scanning the surroundings with her eyes.
The auditorium was very dark, but the red curtain was particularly bright, and the light from the flashlights was concentrated.
"I heard that there was a group of people playing hide-and-seek in the school, but the people looking for them searched the whole school but couldn't find them - they completely disappeared."
"Where do you think they went?"
"Parallel universe?" Lin Chuan asked suspiciously. "Perhaps they accidentally entered another time and space while hiding."
"Maybe they are all dead." Shen Nanzhi said coldly.
Realizing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled awkwardly, "I was just guessing."
"Sister Shen, is your sixth sense accurate in daily life?" He Yuan's eyes under his glasses turned into slits with a smile.
"It's okay..." Shen Nanzhi touched her hair.
Shen Yuci pursed the corners of his mouth into a straight line and looked directly at He Yuan without coldness or indifference. He Yuan still had a playful smile and raised his eyebrows thought to myself, what a sister-controller.
"Speaking of parallel time and space, I think of a cycle theory instead."
"Time ring?" Shen Nanzhi thought of a book, "Time Spiral Theory".
"Yes. If time could be affected by a certain force like a satellite, it would be possible to rotate around a certain point." He Xianyue continued with a serious expression, wearing bright yellow short-sleeves. "If this is the case, time will continue to cycle."
"It's ridiculous."
"Who knows that absurd assumptions are not reality? Just like 100 years ago, we did not know that humans today can land on the moon. We know that the length, width and height can determine the relative position of an object in three-dimensional space, but the length, width and height can determine the relative position of an object in three-dimensional space. If it extends infinitely, can time also extend infinitely?”
"We cannot find an absolutely straight line, nor an absolutely circular ring. This of course means that the line may eventually bend back. This also means that time may also bend when it is subjected to a higher-dimensional force. Forming a ring."
"Wait. A higher dimension? Do you mean the four-dimensional space? Does this thing really exist?" Lin Chuan was stunned.
“The unknown is filled with infinite possibilities, like Schrödinger’s cat.”
Shen Nanzhi answered and continued.
“So, when the radius is infinite, time may be seen as a straight line, just like the earth. People on the ground cannot feel the circle of the earth. Under this condition, time may also be Like the Earth, after completing a circle, the same events repeat themselves, just like a satellite that will orbit the Earth forever."
"I thought of something." Jiang Xinyue always spoke casually and in a guiding light.
"Satellites have three operational results, one is orbiting the earth infinitely, one is that the earth's mass becomes larger and it is attracted by the earth's gravity and falls, and the last one is that the earth's mass becomes smaller or other gravitational effects cause it to break away from the earth. It may orbit other planets, or it may fall to other planets.”
"If we compare satellites to time, the same possibility exists in your theory. The first one falls into a higher dimension, the second time stops, and the third one breaks away from the gravity of the higher dimension. Time extends infinitely and becomes slow and even breaks away from the reincarnation of time. "
As Shen Yuci spoke, he pointed to the monitor beside the stage, meaning something. "Do we really want to talk about these random things here? Just a reminder, everyone, you don't have much time."
"I'm going to the toilet." Shen Nanzhi took a flashlight from He Yuan and walked towards the lounge. The toilet was between the lounge and the preparation room.
When Shen Yuci heard this, he looked over worriedly, and then received a suggestive look... She lied.
The shortest straight distance was from the center of the stage, so Shen Nanzhi chose to go around it. She had seen something moving on the ceiling of the stage before, so it was better not to take the risk alone.
Mosquitoes dance in the white light.
She looked inside the bathroom and heard a rustling sound. White light fell on the mirror, reflecting in all directions, making it scary.
The only sound of her footsteps was on the concrete floor. She turned and entered the preparation room. The red dress shone particularly brightly in the white light of the flashlight, and it fell off the floor-standing hanger.
"I'm going to the toilet too." Mu Xu was uncharacteristically anxious. He was about to leave when Shen Yuci reached out and grabbed him.
The young man leaned very close and pressed his voice to his ear. "Wen Fengnian, there must be a limit to your jokes. That's my sister." Shen Nanzhi unfolded the note and squatted on the ground to read ten lines.

The crisp sound of the switch lights up the room.
Shen Nan Zhi's heart suddenly raised in her throat, she rushed to the door, pressed the switch button, and the room instantly became dark. The flashlight left on the ground shone in a random corner, and other places were too dark to see clearly.
She heard heavy breathing in her ears and closed her eyes tightly, daring not to open them.
Tick tick tick - the moist breath filled the tip of the nose, and the back of the hand was penetrated by the furry claws. The pain made Shen Nanzhi tremble all over, the blood there became hot, and the plush on the claws touched the skin deeply.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Time is up.
She kicked forward violently, heard a muffled grunt, and then there was only empty space in front of her.
"What the hell! It's never over."
She raised her hand and looked at it. Blood slid down her white arm, leaving a blood mark.
"Sister, are you hurt?"
The hem of her clothes was gently pulled, and Shen Nanzhi's whole body stiffened.
"Let me blow it on you. It won't hurt anymore."
After the childish voice said this, the wound on the back of his hand grew strangely and quickly.
Just when Shen Nanzhi was in a dilemma and couldn't turn around, the door was pushed open and Shen Yuci stood at the door. As he appeared, the little girl behind him disappeared.
"Are you all right?"
Shen Nanzhi shook her head, her heart even more suspended than when she didn't know anything.
She was actually a hidden prize in the game! Even though she had just experienced some bad things, Shen Nanzhi still felt that reading the note was a very rewarding thing.
Shen Yuci was unhappy.
Just now Mu Xu asked him in confusion, what are you talking about? He reacted instantly, but it seemed that it was still a step too late.
After leaving the preparation room, Shen Yuci had a gloomy face. "Wait me a moment."
After he strode into the toilet, Shen Nanzhi heard wailings inside, followed by the sound of water. Shen Yuci waved his hands twice as he walked. "Let's go."
Regarding the content of time loops, I used an overview of the book "Time Spiral Theory" on Baidu. If you are interested, you can read it.
