In the chaos, the consciousness that spans the future returns to reality again.

The countless illusory timekeeping tools disappeared, and Lin Shuo found himself back in the hospital room, and on the mobile phone screen in front of him, the line of time was still at 12:15:11 on November 10, and he had just started to walk.

"After the ability is activated, no matter how long it has passed, it is only a moment in the past......

Lin Shuo thought for a moment, and then tried to activate the ability again, but found that the mysterious power was just quietly dormant in his body, and as time recovered, little by little, it was not triggered.

"I see, can this ability be activated when it is at full value?"

He vaguely understood, "It's just...... How long does it take to recover after less than half of the consumption? ”

He squatted on the ground, and as time passed, after careful induction, after a while, he finally settled down.

"Well, after passing through twenty-four hours, it just consumes all the strength, and after crossing more than eleven hours, it consumes nearly half of the strength, so you need to wait for more than eleven hours to recover."

Lin Shuo suddenly said, "In other words, how long I have crossed the future, how long I need to wait to recover." ”

He couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind about using this ability skillfully, but he just needed to recover his ability before continuing to try.

He didn't want to think so much, so he stood up and said, "Okay." ”

"Tested so quickly?"

Tong Momo's eyes lit up, "What is the form in which your ability manifests you?" ”

"Clocks." Lin Shuo said casually: "What about you?" ”

"A snake biting its own tail." Tong Momo smiled and said, "What do you guess my ability is?" ”

"I haven't seen you use it, maybe you can't use it?" Lin Shuo glanced at her and said, "Ouroboros symbolizes 'infinity', you say that you are thirty-nine years old, and your body is like a teenager, is it going back to the past?" Is Tianshan Tong's grandmother like that? ”

"You're so smart."

Tong Momo's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly: "My ability can go back to my physical state, theoretically, as long as I am willing, I can stay in this state forever." ”

"Eternal life?" Lin Shuo looked at her in surprise.

"Sort of."

Tong Momo sighed again, "But every time I go back to my own state, my memory will also go back, if it weren't for the consumption of my ability, I wouldn't even know that I had gone back to my state, so if I had to live forever, the price would be...... I'll never be able to meet new people, I'll never be able to progress, and I won't be able to go back if I'm killed in an instant. ”

Lin Shuo was stunned.

This is actually a bit similar to the current situation in Subei City, no matter how long the outside world has passed, Subei City will always be on this day.

And Tong Momo's ability is that he can take the initiative to act on himself.

"No wonder you don't look like thirty-nine at all." Lin Shuo shook his head slightly.

"It's just that the mental age is more mature."

Tong Momo wrinkled her nose, glanced at the remaining sand of time on the ground, took out a velvet purse from her pocket, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll put away the sand of time first, and we'll divide it equally after we get out." ”

Lin Shuo glanced at the bottles and cans in the department and said, "There are so many bottles, just find another one." ”

"These bottles won't work."

Tong Momo squatted on the ground, pinched the sand of time on the ground with her little hands, and put it into her purse little by little, "Ordinary bottles come into contact with the sand of time, it won't be long before the sand of time will melt into it, it's too wasteful." ”

"Melt in?" Lin Shuo wondered.

"This is the characteristic of the Sands of Time."

Tong Momo patiently pretended to be the sand of time, while explaining: "Once the sand of time encounters something with the concept of 'item', it will integrate into it after a long time, adding 'time characteristics' to the item, of course...... The sands of time of this quality can only add time characteristics to simple items such as clothes and bottles, and don't think about more complex ones. ”

Lin Shuo suddenly remembered that before Xia Yi died, he had said that he had some 'clothes with time characteristics' and placed them in the dressing room on the sixth floor.

Temporal characteristics?

"The sand of time is called the sand of time because it is compared to the countless sand on the riverbed of the long river of time."

Tong Momo carefully pinched the remaining sands of time with her fingertips, and said: "The most basic time characteristic that the sands of time adds to items is 'never wear', just like being washed by the river of time countless times and will not change, and items with 'time characteristics' will be restored even if they are broken." ”

Lin Shuo suddenly thought of the clothes on Tong Momo's body.

The sleeveless shirt and shorts didn't fit, as if she had stolen them.

And he had already noticed that in her current coat, she could still see the sleeveless shirt, which she wore as a base.

Such a baby?

Could it be that the sleeveless shirt and those shorts have a time characteristic?

However, it is not clear whether she is wearing those shorts or not.

Lin Shuo couldn't help asking, "Are you still wearing shorts in your pants?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Tong Momo was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at him vigilantly, "Otherwise, can I still vacuum?" ”

“…… I mean, the shorts you were wearing when I first met you. Lin Shuo was a little speechless.

"Oh......"

Tong Momo reacted at this time, nodded and said: "Of course I wear it, the clothes in me have the characteristics of time, and they are much more expensive than the most luxurious brands." ”

Lin Shuo suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

"I thought you stole it." Lin Shuo shook his head and said.

Tong Momo explained casually: "It's just that my underwear and socks are custom-made, and the sleeveless shirts, shorts, and shoes are second-hand, but in addition to the shoes, I can't buy anything too good, so it doesn't fit well. ”

"In addition to never wearing, there must be other functions, right?" Lin Shuo asked.

"Of course."

Tong Momo nodded slightly, "The most important role is that you can enter and exit the forbidden area with me." ”

"In and out of the restricted area?" Lin Shuo's heart moved, and he faintly understood.

Tong Momo snorted and said, "Didn't I say it before? Only those who have the talent for time can pass through the fog of the forbidden area, and other things, whether living or dead, can do it, but if other items also have the 'time characteristic', they can enter the forbidden area with me. ”

"I see."

Lin Shuo couldn't help but muttered to himself, if you enter the forbidden area in ordinary clothes, once you pass through the fog of the forbidden area, then wouldn't you be naked in an instant like magic?

"Alright."

Tong Momo put the last bit of sand of time into her purse, then stood up, glanced at Xia Yi's corpse on the ground again, and said, "Just find a bag and take this person's body out, the mission is to see the corpse." ”

"Can a corpse pass through the fog?" Lin Shuo asked.

Tong Momo nodded, "A person who has awakened the talent of time, after death, is equivalent to a dead thing containing the characteristics of time, and of course he can pass through the fog of the forbidden area." ”

Lin Shuo suddenly said, "If you leave this person's body here, after restarting it today, he will be resurrected, right?" ”

"Of course." Tong Momo nodded.

Lin Shuo crossed his arms and said thoughtfully: "Then let's leave him here, leave the forbidden area first, and wait until the next restart, and then come in and kill him, wouldn't we be able to harvest a steady stream of new sands of time?" ”
