Before the explosion.

Li Qing, Li Qing in the past, happened to drive to the port warehouse where Roshan was raging with the wounded people he picked up on the road.

The pink-haired boy who called himself Tobio was badly injured and in bad shape at the moment, and if he had to choose, he would never want to take half a step closer to the lava beast.

But Li Qing is very confident and calm.

He knew that as long as he was careful to jam a distance of more than 100 meters, the Roshan would not attack him.

So, ignoring Tobio's frightened cries, Li Qing drove into the port area, getting closer and closer to the lava beast.

And at this moment, he heard a crisp and dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in a large warehouse in front of him.

With the crisp sound of the glass of the window of the cargo compartment, a series of supersonic bullets flew out of the warehouse.

And these bullets happened to fly towards Naroshan.

Roshan reacted instantly.

"What?"

Li Qing was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Someone in the warehouse over there is shooting at Roshan."

"Could it be those troubled Mi Guoyan again? This... It's all about looking for death! ”

Firearms do no harm to Roshan.

Those supersonic bullets can be a decoy to distract the meat, but the side effect of this method is that it will definitely get the meat closer and closer to the person who fired the shot.

"Take this water nourish gun to deal with monsters..."

"Have they watched too many movies?"

Li Qing sighed helplessly in his heart.

And the people in the storehouse are still dying:

The gunshot, probably paused for a moment due to the change of magazine, and then it went out again.

Bullets are thrown out like no money.

Roshan continued to move forward along the trajectory of the bullet, getting closer and closer to the hold.

Li Qing also drove closely to the side, slowly moving forward with Roshan's pace.

Tobio expressed strong opposition to Li Qing's "bias towards Roshan" behavior.

But Li Qing was completely unmoved:

"Don't worry..."

“... With me here, there's no way that thing can get within a hundred meters of us. ”

"Besides, even if something happens, it's the fool who just shot in the warehouse who has an accident first!"

"There's that kind of idiot who is 'active' to attract hatred, what are you afraid of?"

He pointed to the warehouse not far ahead, and yelled angrily.

Saying that, Li Qing also deliberately shifted the focus of monitoring away from Roshan, trying to listen to the movement in the warehouse, wanting to "see" the fool who shot and looked for death before.

What he heard, however, was...

Rumble!!

It's like going to class and looking down to pick something up but just smelling a fart coming out of the front desk...

An explosion that pierced through the clouds and cracked stones suddenly sounded from the warehouse, almost shocking Li Qing, who was listening attentively, to death.

The fire flared up, and the air rushed into the sky.

The walls of the warehouse collapsed in an instant in the violent explosion, and the masonry and rubble were blasted into the air by the powerful shock wave.

Roshan was immediately too high.

It chased after the flying rubble in the air, and unfortunately....

Among them, the piece of gravel that flew the fastest happened to be headed for Li Qing.

Li Qing's ears were already buzzing from the explosion.

And this damn flying stone that drew Roshan's attention over attracted all his attention at this moment.

So he didn't notice at all ...

After the explosion, the walls collapsed...

The boy, Tobio, was looking at the scene in the warehouse with a shocked expression:

"That's... The guy in the warehouse..."

"Myself?!"

What Tobio sees, Diablo can see.

And in Diablo's field of vision...

Inside that warehouse, in the midst of the flames of the explosion...

There is a pink-haired man who looks exactly like himself!

Although the other party's body is faintly blurred and transparent, Diablo can still recognize it at a glance:

That man is him, Diablo!

"How so..."

"How can there be a guy in the warehouse who looks exactly like me?!"

Diablo's mind was filled with thunder.

He simply couldn't comprehend what he was seeing now.

But the question didn't bother him for long.

Because the next moment Diablo saw the pink-haired man...

There is an indescribable and imperceptible force that has emerged from the river of time.

That force is wiping it all out:

Including Diablo's memories of that eye contact, and...

What he saw at the moment was the pink-haired man himself.

“.......”

Silent, sluggish, dazed.

He just sat there like that, until Li Qing's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Tobio? Don't move! ”

Li Qing was reminding him of the way to deal with Roshan's attack:

"Be sober and never move!"

"Hmm... Well? ”

Tobio replied as if he had just woken up from a dream.

It was only then that Tobio, and Diablo, the true leader of the body, finally recovered a little from that disgusting dizziness:

"Ahh My head hurts. ”

Tobio tugged at his hair in pain, his blood-stained body trembling slightly in pain:

Why does my head hurt so much?

Didn't you just see something strange...

No, it doesn't seem to be.

I can't remember it at all.

.....................................

"Paradox... It's a time paradox! ”

In the warehouse, Diablo's face was as pale as paper.

He finally knew what it would be to kill him:

"The past me saw the present me..."

"A paradox has been created!"

The cycle of time is absolutely stable, and the past can never be changed.

Time can never tolerate the existence of "paradox" -

If the paradox is allowed to exist and hold, then the time loop will collapse fundamentally.

Therefore, there is always only one end to the "paradox":

Completely erased from this world by the indescribable force of time.

It's a self-healing rule of time, like an antivirus for your computer system.

And now, Diablo's existence is a "paradox" that must be erased under the rules of time.

"I... I'm going to die? ”

Diablo actually didn't notice anything wrong physically for the time being:

His body was still blurring and becoming transparent, just like he had used the Ouroboros normally.

If all goes well, he'll go back in time and return an hour later unharmed.

But at this moment, Diablo suddenly had an inexplicable premonition in his heart:

This time, he's afraid he'll never come back.

His body is constantly ethereal under the influence of the power of time, constantly turning into nothingness.

To put it more horrively, the process is...

Diablo's very existence is being erased from the world.

"Ahhhh

He let out a desperate roar in that endless fear.

But he has become a paradox itself, he is being erased by time, and this ending cannot be changed.

Diablo will definitely die.

And even now he himself can't fully know how he will die.

"Lee... Green! ”

At this last moment, Diablo still aimed the spearhead of hatred at Li Qing in the end.

He is clearly an invincible dark emperor and the ruler of the underworld.

His fate was obviously so smooth sailing, and he was obviously once the darling of fate.

However, since "today", that is, the day Li Qing appeared...

The trajectory of his life was completely changed.

Diablo is like stepping on a banana peel on the top of a steep mountain in life, and then he suddenly stumbles all the way down, stumbling into the abyss of eternal darkness.

The fall was shattered and miserable.

"Li Qing!!"

"I did lose... But what can you do? ”

"Hahahahaha..."

I don't know what came to mind, Diablo suddenly laughed maniacally:

"Now that I used to be outside the warehouse, yes."

"But, Li Qing, you were there in the past!"

"Since I will see me in the past, then you must have seen you in the past—"

"It's not just my existence that has become a "paradox", Li Qing, you are now the same "paradox" as me!"

Diablo laughed wildly and wildly.

Seeing his old enemy die was perhaps the most enjoyable experience he had before he died:

"You will be erased by time with me, and completely disappear from this world with me!"

"You didn't win, no one can win this battle at all!"

“.......”

Li Qing was silent for a while.

But the expressions are unusually rich.

Seeing that Diablo was about to disappear completely, he sighed helplessly and funny:

"Diablo, did your brain disappear first?"

"You still haven't figured out the truth of the time loop..."

"You know, the call hasn't gone through yet!"

"If I die here with you, who will contact the shore dew companion later?"

Li Qing's three eyes and words made Diablo's excited heart stop suddenly.

He roared in disbelief and unwillingness:

"Why..."

"Why are you okay?"

"You used to be sitting in that car!"

"Haha."

Li Qing smiled playfully.

He raised his voice in this almost frozen time:

"My super hearing is actually an active skill."

"Otherwise, there will be noises within a radius of hundreds of meters into my brain all the time, and annoyance can annoy me to death."

"And I remember, at the time..."

"Just as I was about to go and let go of my hearing to check the inside of the warehouse, the explosion happened."

"The explosion almost didn't deaf my ears, and my hearing was greatly impaired in a short period of time, and my perception was severely reduced."

"And in this case, Roshan was also attracted over-"

"I can only temporarily narrow down the scope of my perception and concentrate on listening to the movements of Roshan, and I don't have time to listen to the movements in this warehouse."

Li Qing paused slightly, and then pointed to the raging flames:

"Not to mention that this is still the scene of an explosion, it is the scene of a fire."

"These blazing flames, whistling hot winds, are the best noise disturbances in themselves."

"The heartbeat, the breathing, the talking, the yelling, all of which are almost perfectly masked by the noise."

"So, if you want to know that there is a future Li Qing in the warehouse..."

"He, who used to be, I'm afraid I have to see with my eyes."

"This..."

Diablo's brain seemed to have burned out in despair.

He just wanted to see Li Qing die with red eyes, and he couldn't understand why Li Qing didn't trigger the paradox like him.

"Ugh..."

Li Qing sighed lightly and pointed to his eyes full of gloom:

"Silly, huh?"

"I'm blind."

"How can a blind man see his future self?"
