"Remember, if you meet Ron in the next loop, tell him to ask Lusk to erase his memories!
If those memories are not erased, everyone except you who emerged from the train will go mad; if they are erased, at least Ron will survive!"
...
During the 6th loop, Quân drank alcohol for the very first time.
In his ignorance, he selected a bottle with a staggering strength of 70 percent.
And then, he passed out, essentially dying, or well, nearly dying.
Fortunately, he managed to slaughter the remaining Quân before stepping into the next loop.
...
By the 19th loop, alcohol had become an intrinsic part of him, which felt rather strange, especially since with every restart he needed to remain lucid to avoid forgetting the code, yet perhaps that was no longer necessary.
...
In the 29th loop, he formed a friendship that lasted for six days, after which he was left with no one once again.
...
In the 30th loop, he organized a small group dedicated to hunting madmen, originally intended as a way to vent stress; he soon realized this proved far better than expected, and at the very least, alcohol was no longer required.
...
In the 31st loop, he suffered severe injuries for the first time and required medical treatment, marking the very first occasion Ron administered narcotics to numb his pain.
That felt quite wonderful.
He no longer suffered headaches caused by the code, though the relief endured for merely three days.
...
Instead of deciphering the realm on his own, Ron chose a far wiser alternative during the 13th loop, which was stalling for time so those outside could intervene.
However, actual time and the flow within this place differed immensely, meaning that in the worst case scenario, relying on external assistance might take hundreds of years.
Fortunately, by the 34th loop, he vaguely detected a few traces left by the reconnaissance team.
Yet upon entering the next loop, those traces vanished once more; still, he refused to give up.
...
By the 40th loop, he officially lost his virginity; he slept with... he forgot her name, but she was a remarkably beautiful woman.
...
By the 60th loop, he and Ron lost track of each other; it seemed Ron was busy doing something foolish.
Ah, this marked officially one full year of his existence inside the loop.
...
In the 64th loop, he missed receiving the code from Janeus due to his severe alcoholism, an error that cost him ten whole loops.
...
In the ... loop, unclear, he had turned into Ron's drug addict; that was also the first time he realized what was truly packed inside those cigarette boxes.
According to Quân's personal experience, if Ron carried three packs of cigarettes, one pack concealed hidden weaponry, one pack contained explosives and drugs, and one pack stored crude medical instruments.
That was quite a fascinating discovery.
...
The XXX loop.
The last time he kept count was the 113th loop; he had asked a few newcomers to help him remember, and it triggered an excruciating migraine.
He swore that was the last time he would ever attempt to count the loops.
...
The XXX loop.
Slaughtering useless individuals became his sole duty.
It appeared Ron had transformed into a dictator.
...
In the XXX loop, he realized he could not perish even after taking a blast of three hundred pounds of TNT.
...
In the XXX loop, he attempted to hang corpses inside his own room; he found that when abusing drugs inside that chamber, he felt as if he were transcending into a god.
If that were truly the case, he would grant himself the ultimate blessing of permission to die.
...
The XXX loop.
The frequency with which Ron locked him inside the room increased steadily.
Did he claim Quân had gone insane?
He was not entirely certain; he did not think so.
...
In the XXX loop.
He exhibited a strong urge to dismember his own body.
Even if unable to die, he felt himself gradually descending into utter madness.
He grew so famished that he began eating his own stomach.
Ron placed him under absolute confinement.
Aside from recording the code, his singular remaining duty was assisting Ron in verifying information.
...
The burden of memorization grew exceedingly heavy; in a single day, he was forced to memorize one hundred pages of codes.
...
The XXX loop.
He developed a habit of mindlessly defecating and spreading filth; Ron stated he stood half a step inside death's door.
...
In the XXX loop.
He had officially been trapped inside here for three years.
He devised a scheme.
Because Ron no longer permitted him access to drugs, after entering a new loop, he would put on an act to force Ron into injecting him with narcotics.
He compressed several hundred pages of codes, directly solving the problems before sending Ron exactly 100 words.
Continuing thus, it reduced progressively to 40 words, 10 words, and finally 4 words...
...
In the XXX loop.
He glimpsed hope at last.
It was an outside force breaching this realm.
He resolved that in the following loop, he would join hands with Kale, one of the two rulers of this realm, to seek a way out.
He cared not whether the entity was a demon or a human; he knew that with him, success was guaranteed this time...
...
The final loop.
Ron was unconscious, navigating his way toward the deepest stratum of his own psyche.
He was establishing a connection to retrieve the memories that Lusk had erased.
The sole motive was to transform himself into a train.
Quân did not understand it clearly; after all, that was Ron's affair.
Mystical phenomena were mystical phenomena; he possessed no obligation to comprehend them.
Ah, perhaps he understood a tiny fraction, that Lusk was attempting to erase Ron's memories and confuse him.
Regardless, that was precisely what Ron desired.
