Staring blankly at the crystal in Barrett's palm for a while, the cat finally understood something.

Its hostess is gone.

Although it already knew the outcome of this matter when it learned that Barrett had met Lily, the cat still couldn't believe it for a long time when he actually saw the key.

Lily, who was at the heart of the Re-Creation Project, died.

Gradually, as the power of the temporary burst of panic disappeared, the cat could no longer maintain a standing position and fell back into Barrett's hands.

"She's dead............" the cat sighed.

Rolling her red eyes tiredly, the cat looked at Barrett.

"What do you want to know? Just ask. It knew Barrett had a stomach full of questions to ask, so it spoke first.

Barrett was a little puzzled as to why the cat hadn't answered him about how to refuel, but he still asked the question in his mind.

"I don't know why, although the key is in my hands, the fusion has not shown the slightest sign of success." When Lily separated, she didn't tell Barrett anything, and the ball of light contained only childhood memories that he didn't remember.

The cat shook its head slowly, and it nodded, "That's because you didn't have the determination to be the core." ”

It jumped off his arm with great effort and took the lead in moving forward.

The pace is slow, but firm.

The corridor that never ends, has also changed because of the cat's movements.

There is finally an exit ahead of the always dark one.

It is a large room with eight paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.

Barrett found the painting of Lily dancing on the lily of the valley prairie.

Turning around, Barrett's heart moved.

The second painting is still Lily, but ............ He always felt like he had seen this painting somewhere.

In the picture, Lily is wearing a white dress, white sandals, and a linen-colored sunhat with flowers in her hand, dancing in a field of bright flowers.

However, this Lily is not the same as his mother, her hair is long, and she looks more mature.

"This is my mother?" Barrett asked, searching for where he had seen the painting.

“？？” He remembered, in Bath's collection............

Buzz says she's his wife, but there's no way Lily has ever seen him!

The cat turned its head to look at the painting where Barrett had stopped, but did not answer his question directly.

"Come with me, you have time to appreciate these things." The cat continued to walk directly across the room.

Although he didn't have time to look at all the paintings, his mind was in turmoil.

If it wasn't for Lily, just the resemblance, why did he feel so familiar at that time? It's weird to think about it now.

If it's Lily, then where exactly did Buzz see her? Time Rift? How could he possibly survive inside?

Unless............ He's too, or at least one of the artifacts!

Barrett felt that things were getting more and more tricky, and originally thought that with the power of the Time Crystal, he would have the capital to fight against Bass, but if Bass also had the power of the artifact............ Or maybe the power of more than one artifact, how can he defeat him?

For a while, Bass, who was forcibly left behind because he couldn't find a solution, once again gave him a feeling of powerlessness.

Troubled ......

Just walked forward with the cat in a daze, and Barrett didn't even feel the star pupil gently scratching his pants.

The little star pupil looked at his father who was distracted with some worry, and he was also secretly a little anxious.

Feeling his leg trip, Barrett woke up.

When he looked down, he found that the cat was looking at him not far in front of him, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Sorry! I was distracted. "I glanced up and it was another room, not too big.

Two cones suspended in the air, with the tips pointing downward.

There is a small round table in the middle, and it looks like the cone is the chair.

The cat tried to jump on the chair with difficulty, but almost fell off and was helped up by Barrett.

Twisting his body a little embarrassed, the cat squatted on the chair, coughed dryly and said to Barrett, "You sit opposite." ”

Barrett sat down across from him with the star pupil in his arms.

"There's a small hole on the table to put the time crystal into." The cat commanded.

This made Barrett very difficult.

Although he knew that the time crystal was on him, he didn't know where it was or how to take it out.

The cat urged him with her eyes, but found him embarrassed.

With a sigh, the cat realized that he really didn't know anything.

I saw its tail dot in the air, and another cone chair appeared.

Barrett is still a little strange, is this to let him put the star pupil on it? I found that as soon as the chair appeared, some guests sat on it.

"I didn't expect you to find it here." The cat said as it played with its ears with its paws.

Still that beautiful, Sassou smiled and gestured to Barrett, and then replied, "I didn't expect to see the Colossus here, but a fully soul-like AI." ”

The Colossus? Cats are not Z1's............ Barrett suddenly woke up, Z1 is just a mecha made according to some ancient technology, so the real Z1 is a colossus?

But in the memories I saw before, he played with Z1 in the time rift, are these all fake?

Shaking his head, in the ball of light, he also saw the same message from Lily, and his mother would never lie to him.

"Sorry, the Colossus' AI is still asleep, and he hasn't found the missing parts of the Colossus yet." The cat's words made Barrett breathe a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was only Sasu who admitted his mistake.

Hearing the cat say this, Sasu didn't continue the topic, she turned to look at Barrett and asked, "Don't you wonder why I followed you?" ”

But before Barrett could answer, she solved the puzzle herself: "Actually, it's just to find here." ”

Found here? Barrett didn't understand that Lily's ban was just an ornament for Sassou, a tool, and possibly even a more powerful tool, and Sassou had a very strong pertinence in some ways.

"I told you last time that my people have brought destruction in the void because of their foolish worship of faith." Sasu's voice was a little low, and it seemed that she didn't like the memory.

Nodding, Barrett remembered the image he saw that time, and it was precisely because he saw that he definitely didn't want this to happen on Earth, or in Frost.

"I'm the last tool to be made, but in reality, your mother is the last tool." Sasu's words, Barrett was a little confused.

Seeing Barrett's puzzled expression, Sasu continued with a wry smile: "It's really a little difficult to understand, but I'll explain the cause and effect clearly." ”

Sasu turned her gaze to the cat.

"I didn't tell him anything............ But if this continues, everything will go back to the old way. Sasu said with some concern, it seemed that the cat was hiding something from him.

The cat's eyelids drooped, and it gasped for a few moments before saying, "Unfortunately, it is impossible to create a main body with the core alone, and there are already people who act faster than him." ”

Then it looked at Barrett with some annoyance, and scolded angrily, "Why don't you hurry up and put the crystal in?" It's not so easy to keep it open! ”

Barrett realized that this space could be entered casually, and the already weak cat must have paid a considerable price.

But the embarrassing thing is that he doesn't know how to take out the time crystal at all.

"............" looked at Sasu without saying anything, he wanted to ask for help, but he held back.

What kind of character is Sasu, how can you not see what he means? However, she just didn't speak first, and let Barrett fidget at the cat's increasingly fierce eyes.

"Whew!" Maybe it was because he was dissatisfied with the cat's eyes, or maybe he was unhappy, Xingtong learned from the little tiger and barked, and the two lotus root-like pink hands also made a gesture and turned into a little tiger claw.

Protecting Dad anytime and anywhere, simply thinking so, the little girl worked hard to scare the opposite man and beast.

"Hehehe......" Seeing the attitude of this little living treasure, Sasu laughed all of a sudden.

Leaning over, Sasu wanted to reach out and touch the top of Xingtong's head, but was forced back by the little girl's bite when she opened her mouth.

"No wonder your mother fell in love with this child all at once, you know, I thought she would destroy her to draw power." Sassou's eyes narrowed, and the flowers of laughter trembled.

I have to say that until now, most people love this unlucky little girl who is so cute that she has a nosebleed.

Swish! When he made such a fuss, Sasu took off the blue crown on his head and threw it on the table not far in front of Xingtong.

The crown brought by Sassou is naturally not an ordinary ornament, not to mention a simple star pupil, even Barrett was attracted to the eye.

And then...... Sasu's Qianqianyu hand grabbed Barrett's finger that had let go as the star pupil struggled.

Permission to read! As soon as Barrett sensed what Sassou was doing.

As the most advanced Level 10 clearance holder, he was certainly able to sense Sasu's invasion.

But strangely, he couldn't stop her.

This point had puzzled him when he encountered Meroka Sals before, although they had fallen into her illusion, but even if he didn't have such a high level of authority at that time, he would not be read by a native at will, unless she also had a very high permission.

Perhaps sensing Barrett's obstruction, Sassou smiled, "That's my ability, as an adaptive compensating core, my usefulness is to supplement her position in the event of a failure to recreate the core." ”

"So all the cores can cooperate with me, and I am the advanced manager of the authority." To put it bluntly, Sasu is an artifact that is covered by no ability, she originally had no ability, but she can also have the ability of any artifact.

Originally, none of the artifacts had left Earth, and when she arrived here, she was able to accomplish the plan that her compatriots had hoped for.

Unfortunately, as Lily said, Sasu came too late, and there were no artifacts left in this magical land except for her.

And Lily has long given the responsibility of saving the world to Barrett, who saved Frost.

So, she was completely late......

Although a little unwilling, Sasu accepted all this, and instead of forcibly robbing Lily of the power of time after her death, she left Earth with Meroka Sals.

Now, Sasu was reading Barrett's clearance again, and she was looking for the location of the Time Crystal.

The cat could no longer maintain its position and fell down all at once.

Barrett, who had been resisting Sasu's reading, could no longer maintain this state, and he gave up.

It's not that you've given up on the Time Crystal, it's that you've given up on defending Sasu.

He could see that if he continued like this, he was afraid that if he didn't do anything, the cat would die first.

This gentle little beast has been by his side since he was a child, taking care of him, protecting him, and pleasing him.

Although he didn't feel it on the surface, but inside he actually cared very much about this white, soft, gentle, even if he was angry, he would only use his claws to pretend to scare his partner......

Giving up the struggle, Barrett bent down and tried to grab the cat that had fallen from the chair with his arms.

Inevitably, his fingers kept slipping outward, knowing to leave Sasu's palm.

Bite!

In the split second, the gears of time appeared in the middle of the room, then expanded to the size of the entire room, falling to the ground.

With the stop of the pointer above, everyone's movements stopped, except for Sasu!

The three jade fingers were separated, and between the thumb and index finger, a pale blue crystal floated silently between her fingers.

She just stared at Barrett blankly, not moving for a long time.

The beautiful eyes flashed, and Sasu finally moved.

I saw her get up, and Lianbu gently walked to the table.

"Well, for her loveliness' sake." Glancing at the star pupil that she had been holding the crown and trying to put on her head, a warm smile appeared on her face.

With the flick of her fingers, the crystal was placed in the recess of the tabletop.

Click! Click! Click!

A time gear appeared on the table around the crystal, and then it spun, spun......

Gradually, the time gears stopped, and the time above stopped at twelve o'clock.

The three pins above are all classified in this position, which represents twelve and also represents zero.

Click!

The thinnest and longest hand moved forward, and the hour hand on the ground moved a notch forward!

Everything in the room instantly returned to its normal time track, Barrett reached out and tried to grab the cat, and Star Hitomi also put the crown on his head and tried it a few times.

The only difference is that the original eyes can't be opened, like a cat that is weak enough to die at any time, a light turn around Barrett's palm fell to the ground, and then lightly crossed back to the cone chair.

He gently slapped Barrett with his long fluffy tail to wake up the guy who was still in a dazed rescue motion.

"How are you??" Barrett was obviously a little unconvinced, and in an instant it was back to normal? What kind of magical spell is this?

was forced back to the chair by the other party's disdainful eyes.

And at this time, Star Pupil, who was half-lying on the table and playing with the crown, fell back into his arms.

Just caught it, and didn't let her fall and squat.

Glancing in Sasu's direction, Barrett found that there was nothing! There was nothing on the chair, let alone people, and I couldn't even feel a trace of popularity.

If it weren't for the little girl in his arms who naughtily tried to use the little tiger tooth to try what the crown was made of, he would have thought that he was a demonic obstacle.

"She'............" Barrett could ask, and before he could ask, the cat pushed back his words.

"Gone, and she'll never come to you again." The cat's eyes just looked at the time crystal in the center of the tabletop, and it knew that just now, this Lily left behind something almost became someone else's.

It was it that got where it was supposed to be, and the cat, no, Barrett's time rift was finally completed.

But there is no way, this is all that must be done, and only in this way, the golden Sasu must leave voluntarily.

She was too strong, and Barrett couldn't be her opponent, so the cat could only use this method, betting on whether she would be soft-hearted.

Luckily, he won......
