Chapter Thirty-Eight: Time Thieves
"What are you capable of...... I saved your life, right? Su Hang forcibly suppressed his eagerness and asked as calmly as possible, "In return, I don't think it's too much to answer me a few questions, right?" ”
Originally, Su Hang was still worried, so he prepared a lot of words in his heart to prepare to persuade the other party. After all www.biquge.info, the two sides are hostile forces, and it should not be easy for the other side to reveal their information.
Who knows, Ye Chang sat down tiredly at a table by the window, sighed and said, "You ask." ”
As a result, the great truth that Su Hang prepared with a full stomach of knowing and moving with emotion and reason all came to naught.
"How did you do that ability? Why can you go back in time so much time ago? Su Hang immediately asked, because this ability was too unbalanced.
"That's the effect of the upgrade." Ye Chang rubbed the non-existent wound on his shoulder and said, "It can only be used on inanimate objects, so that it can return to the state it was in before a period of time, for as long as it wants, but it cannot be used on living objects." ”
Su Hang was suddenly relieved, if it can only be used on objects, it doesn't matter.
But there is one thing he still doesn't understand, which is the state of the bar just now. Just now, the ordinary people inside the entire bar fell into a static state, and those time streams can also protect ordinary people, whether it is Ye Chang's BB bomb or Black Jack's cards, when they encounter those ordinary people, they will fall into a static state because of these time streams.
This ability is actually very scary, because Su Hang has tried, and these time streams cannot be neutralized.
Therefore, Su Hang asked again: "Then why can you let this bar be in a state of time standstill as a whole, but it does not involve internal time agents?" ”
"This is the unique ability of our Time Hunters, each faction has its own special ability, just like you Time Assassins can enter it without being affected by the Time Rift, and can mend the time flow in the Time Rift and kill the Time Undead. But the agents of other forces cannot enter the rift in time and space. Ye Chang rubbed his legs again.
"......I see," Su Hang groaned, remembering this information in his heart.
"That black Jack, which force does it belong to?" Su Hang asked again.
"He's a time thief......" Ye Chang sighed, then raised his hand and ordered a high-alcohol brandy cocktail from the waiter, before continuing, "Their specialty is that they can 'steal' ordinary people's time through contracts. ”
"What does a contract mean?" Su Hang frowned and asked, Ye Chang explained: "It is to exchange time in a way that is agreed upon by both parties." Just as Black Jack gambles to exchange time with these two people, there are times when thieves trade by buying outright or by forcibly plundering. ”
Su Hang nodded and pondered for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "It feels fair, those people have nothing anyway, it's better to exchange time for some money, at least they can live a little better now." ”
"Hmph, he must tell you that he's just taking your life, right?" Ye Chang snorted coldly, took a sip of wine, Su Hang noticed that he was still in a cold sweat, obviously the previous injury was really not light, "But the truth is not so simple, some time thieves still have a conscience, they just use the life span of these people to trade, but ...... Hey. ”
As he spoke, Ye Chang added two ice cubes to the wine and continued: "Time thieves can do more than that, they don't just steal your lifespan, but steal your 'time', do you understand what I mean?" Have you ever wondered what happens when you spend more time than you already have? ”
Su Hang shook his head, and Ye Chang smiled and said: "People's time is not such a simple thing, and the time you spend with others is also considered 'your time'." They steal your time, and you forget about the time you spend with these people, until you forget about the person completely. ”
As he spoke, Ye Chang covered his forehead and said, "You know that kind of ...... Looking at the intimate photo of himself and his wife and daughter, but he can't remember that he was married, and he doesn't even remember the feeling of these two people in his life? ”
Su Hang was silent for a moment, this is indeed a very painful thing.
Probably because of the wine, Ye Chang's face regained a hint of ruddy from Tie Qing: "And it's not just that, what they steal is only your most valuable time, that is, your time with the people you love the most, because other time is not valuable to them." And when that time runs out again, what do you think they'll steal? ”
Without waiting for Su Hang to react, he slammed his fist on the table, the wine glass suddenly shook, spilling a few drops of wine, and Ye Chang's voice became a little hysterical: "They steal your existence, steal other people's time with you, not only do you forget others, others will also forget you, and your existence will be completely erased." ”
"Your friends don't remember you, your wife doesn't remember her husband, your children don't remember their father, and even your parents don't remember that they ever had children! Your existence will be a blank slate! It's like you've never been in this world! Ye Chang gritted his teeth and said, "In the end, you yourself are just a soulless shell." ”
"So that's ......" Su Hang frowned and asked a little hesitantly, "Then what kind of grudge do you have with that black Jack?" He ......"
"He stole my best friend's time." Ye Chang said upset, "You also know that we will inevitably encounter some setbacks at our age, my friend and his own company are facing closure and urgently need money, so ......"
Ye Chang didn't say the next story, Su Hang actually guessed it.
"If I hadn't happened to be a time agent, I'm afraid even I would have forgotten about him." Ye Chang sighed and said, "However, seeing his best friend live like the walking dead every day, while his parents, wife, and daughter don't remember him as a son, husband, and father at all...... You're afraid you won't understand that feeling. ”
Su Hang didn't understand, but it definitely wouldn't feel good.
Speaking of this, Ye Chang regained his spirit again, and said with a fighting spirit: "However, the time that those guys get is not given to their 'boss' according to a certain proportion of the time of everyone they grabbed, but according to the proportion of the total time...... So my friend's time may still be with him, as long as I kill him and snatch his time, I will have a chance to ......"
