Contest (Part I)

In terms of using time with others to fight, Yu Siqi had only had a short experience with Lin Kanshan before.

It's a pity that he can't remember clearly how he won the other party in the first place.

The only thing that still impresses is that he knows it very well.

Whoever controls the time will have the upper hand in the duel.

With this in mind, Yu Siqi decided to attack first before the battle situation became completely unfavorable to them.

As a result, when he first began to try to communicate with the time around him.

A force that clearly did not belong to him was released from the thin air, and it first distorted the time around Yu Siqi, and then shocked Yu Siqi away, causing him to fall on the ground several times in a row.

When he barely got up from the ground, Yu Siqi found that everything around him had entered a state of slow flow of time.

In this state, he saw the old man named Smiling Man, who was completely ignoring the barrier opened by Ah Zhen and walking straight towards him.

"I'm sorry, boy, I wasn't going to deal with you in such a rude way."

The old man stretched out his hand to Yu Siqi, who ignored him.

"But you did it anyway."

Yu Siqi straightened his body and puffed up his chest to look at the smiling man in front of him.

"I'm not going to deny that. But I still want to be able to do as little damage to you as possible. ”

After the old man saw that Yu Siqi was unwilling to appreciate it, he took his hand back.

"Don't fake me, I know about you. I also remember very well how your student Lin Kanshan died at my hands. As Yu Siqi said this, the smile on the old man's face froze. He returned to his normal expression, looked at Yu Siqi, and said, "Xiao Lin's death is a tragedy. I've investigated, and the blame and fault in it are not yours. ”

"That being said, can you really be completely indifferent to the murderer of your own students? I don't think so! ”

Yu Siqi stimulated the other party, intending to see his reaction.

"You're not a fuel-efficient lamp, boy. Yes, as Kobayashi's teacher, I really can't completely let go of what you did.

Even if I have a deep understanding of what your role is in it.

But that's not the main reason I'm here to help bring you to justice.

To tell you the truth, the reason why I came here was because someone used favors as a threat to force me to comply.

Are you satisfied with this explanation? ”

The old man put on a selfless posture, which made Yu Siqi feel that he was very hypocritical.

"After all, it's just a family talk.

Besides, I don't think I've ever made any unforgivable mistakes.

So much so that you can be forced to use modern firearms and time tactics against civilians like me. ”

When Yu Siqi said these words, it was not that he did not investigate his current situation. He found that although the time around him could communicate, he didn't buy his account at all.

"It's already the most compact spec, kid. Do you know the rules of the Agency's actions when it captured the Time Walker hundreds of years ago, according to the history books?

During the three hundred and fifty years of hunting, the hunters always maintained sufficient vigilance and patience. And constantly use your eyes and nose or ears to search for any strange phenomena that may cause time shifts.

Then, after capturing the Time Walker, the hunters will usually perform a very cruel dismantling ritual on him or her, inlaying the time fragments that have been stripped from his or her body into their own bodies.

In this way, the hunters will have the ability to manipulate time. ”

The smiling man said as he rolled up his sleeves. On his left shoulder, Yu Siqi saw a strange crystal fused with some of his flesh.

From the thumb-sized crystal, Yu Siqi could clearly feel the traces of time.

"So, are you one of the hunters too?"

Yu Siqi asked subconsciously.

"It was, but I didn't have time to take part in any bloody and crazy hunting before I encountered the destruction of the Hunter Order.

It's ironic, right?

Even more ironic, a time walker who has no idea where he came from. While we were celebrating our promotion, we washed the Hunter's House in blood and slaughtered everyone but me.

To this day, I still can't figure out how I survived that bloody massacre.

It could have become a mystery that I would never be able to solve.

But until I met you today, when I saw your face, I understood a lot of things. ”

The old man put down his sleeves again, looked at Yu Siqi, and said.

"You don't mean to say that I took your headquarters."

Yu Siqi said angrily.

"With your current ability, even an amateur fighter like me is still having a hard time, let alone a bloodbath in the hunter's house. I don't think it's you doing it now, it could be you someday in the future.

But anyway, I'm afraid I have to put my own business aside for a while.

The most important thing at the moment is to make sure that you can tie your hands down.

It saves us a lot of things for each other. ”

The old man tapped the ground with the tip of his umbrella, and around Yu Siqi, there was an extremely obvious ticking sound, as if he was counting down.

"Want to tie me down with time?"

Yu Siqi could feel that the time around him was constantly being squeezed.

The first to fall was his legs, completely frozen by the given time, as if they were stuck with a particularly strong glue, and he couldn't move no matter how he moved.

"Let me tell you one last thing. I had heard all those rumors about you before I came here. It is indeed similar to the time walkers recorded in the history books.

However, don't you feel that your understanding and use of time are still very superficial?

I really didn't expect that Xiao Lin would lose to a layman like you. ”

The old man looked into the distance with a regretful expression, as if he was not worth it for someone's end.

"I didn't expect that either."

Don't look at what Yu Siqi said very lightly, but his heart is still a little flustered now.

He didn't know how to deal with it, and after trying to communicate with time several times to no avail. It can even be said that he is a little helpless about the future he is about to face.

He knew that sooner or later, he would become a freeze-frame painting, like those who were bound by his own time.

At that time, it will be up to him to decide the end.

Is there really no way around it?

Yu Siqi quickly thought about any possible countermeasures, but found nothing.

At the moment when his lower body had begun to lose consciousness, Yu Siqi suddenly remembered the duel between him and Lin Guanshan.

There is a scene in which it seems that the other party is using time to restrain himself.

And how did you counteract at that time?

Come to think of it, it shouldn't be hard to remember.

Yu Siqi tried hard to urge his brain, and this restraint also spread to his waist.

Then, Yu Siqi thought about it.

yes, that's what happened!

Having figured out something, he focused his attention and let all his perceptions melt into the present time.

Then, a huge dial was erected in front of him.

Time is ticking, and the hands on the dial are constantly turning counterclockwise.

Looking at the pointer scale above, it has been moved to the position of eleven. And under his gaze, it began to slowly move in ten directions.

Faced with this situation, Yu Siqi stretched out his hands that were still able to move without thinking, and dragged the pointer several meters long to pull it down.

When the pointer was pulled back to eleven by him from the position that was about to reach ten, Yu Siqi heard a click, and the restraint on his body weakened.

Yu Siqi, who felt that it had an effect, hurriedly continued to push the pointer in a clockwise direction.

Every time he shifted the time back to a correct scale, he could clearly feel that the part of himself that he had lost consciousness was gradually recovering.

And when he completely returned the pointer to the twenty-four that overlapped with one, Yu Siqi regained his freedom.

This made him very happy.

It's a pity that some people don't like him to be so happy.

"So, I did misjudge you before."

The old man with an umbrella stood directly above the dial and looked down at Yu Siqi below.

"I just happened to remember the memories of how I won Lin Kanshan in the first place. Don't say it, it's really effective. ”

Yu Siqi tried hard to move his slightly stiff feet, looking up at the other party.

"Good, good."

The old man said the same thing twice in a row, and each time the pronunciation was a bit of a pinch. After he said this, he tapped the dial under him with the tip of his umbrella.

As the pointer on it kept turning rapidly, Yu Siqi, who was very close to it, was forced to retreat a few distances to avoid being scratched by the huge pointer.

Immediately after, something unthinkable happened.

In front of Yu Siqi, this huge dial unexpectedly grew limbs similar to human beings, and it also stood up.

"Since you're so capable, I'd like to see how you fought the Time Giants."

The old man pointed at Yu Siqi with the tip of his umbrella, and the giant he controlled waved his fist at Siqi.
