Clotho stretched out his slender arm and shook it in front of the two of them, and the crisp sound of the bell on his wrist made Mr. X frown.

"Get out."

Spit out a word, and everyone present could see that the blue eyes flashed with a trembling sharpness.

"Hey, there's something to say." Bai Xiaohan hurriedly stepped forward to play the round.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but my temper grows, my good brother." Clotho deliberately dragged the end of the word "brother" extremely long.

This attitude naturally angered the other party, and with a cold snort, he saw a golden flame burning in his blue eyes, "You finally couldn't hold it back and appeared?" ”

"Anyway, you've already discovered the traces, what are you deliberately hiding?"

Clotho smirked twice, glanced at Mr. X with disdain, and then looked at Star Swirl behind him coldly and said, "This is what happens to you if you refuse to cooperate, you'd better turn around while I'm in a good mood, or I'll run into you next time... Giggle..."

Clotho's spine-chilling laughter rang out, Star Swirl listened to it, and the empty stomach began to roll.

Mr. X turned sideways, blocking Clotho's view, and said coldly, "Don't come to her again, do you hear me?" ”

"What did you say?" Clotho pretended not to understand, "It's a pity, it's a pity, I've already told her about the same secret, maybe she and your heart have long been estranged." ”

As the words fell, the white light gathered in front of him suddenly dispersed, and the figure of Clotho suddenly disappeared into the dappled light and shadow, leaving only the cold laughter echoing in the room.

A fist slammed into the wall, and the entire wall seemed to tremble for a moment.

The girl on the hospital bed opened her eyes slightly and asked, "What about my mother?" ”

---------

On the way back, the three of them were unusually silent, and Bai Xiaohan wanted to speak several times, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start.

"Go back and rest." After Mr. X stood in front of the apartment and said this to Bai Xiaohan, he pulled Star Swirl from her arms, turned around and closed the door with a bang.

Sensing the anger in him, Star Swirl stuck out her tongue and lay quietly in his arms.

"That—" Star Swirl said after a moment of thought, "Linlin's stepfather is too cruel to tell." ”

Blue eyes gaze at Star Swirl quietly, thin lips pursed into a line.

"I don't know if Linlin has any other relatives, she has already woken up......"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

When it was finally time to confront him, Star Swirl knew deep down that this moment would come, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Because... At first, I wasn't sure if it was real, but he just appeared in my dreams repeatedly. She replied in a whisper, looking aggrieved.

Mr. X's gaze always fell on Star Swirl's tense little face, and her blue eyes looked into the black whirlpool, seeing the stubbornness, persistence, and bravery in it, but not a trace of fear.

Mr. X's eyes are both clear and chaotic, and most of the time he doesn't stare at a person, and even if he does, he just casts a faint look, but now he stares at Star Swirl's eyes seriously.

With only the sound of her own pounding heartbeat left in her ears, Star Swirl gritted her teeth before she couldn't help but look away, and in her beering pupils, she could see that she was cold, calm, confident, and seeming, a little confused?

"Looks like you've got your own plans, tell me about it." Mr. X's tone softened a little.

Star Swirl blinked her eyes and looked for the confusion in the cyan, but there was no trace of it, and sure enough, she was mistaken.

"My purpose is the same as yours, to form an energy chain as soon as possible, to awaken the body as soon as possible, and to obtain the antidote." Star Swirl replied dryly that at this point, she didn't want to beat around the bush with him anymore.

Mr. X's brows furrowed a little tighter, and he forced his hairy momentum and said, "Why do you want an antidote?" ”

"So Clotho is really your brother?" Star Swirl resists Mr. X's oppression and asks him to confirm what Clotho has said.

He was silent for a moment, then finally nodded in acknowledgement.

If Clotho hadn't lied to her all along, would the rest of the things be true?

Star Swirl's eyes widened, waiting for Mr. X to tell him all the things she was hiding from him, this was her last chance for him.

"What else do you want to know?"

Star Swirl was overjoyed, whether it was forced by reality or desperation, he finally said it.

"I wonder why you have to get antibodies to the ST virus."

"It should start with my family," the frowning brow relaxed slightly, "you have to be patient to listen to the story." ”

Star Swirl nodded vigorously, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

"For hundreds of years, our family has always guarded the order of all parallel time and space, punishing those who travel through abnormal means, the so-called 'time and space stowaways', you must have heard of this.

Every twenty years, a new heir is elected in the family, and the heir has the supreme power to rule over the family and sanction the fate of mankind. My father was the previous successor. ”

"Sanctions fate? Isn't that what CLOTHO is? Star Swirl froze.

"That's right, he and I are twins, he has been withdrawn and obedient since childhood, and he is not very likable in the family.

When we came of age, my father hinted many times that the whole family wanted me to take over as the successor. I didn't understand what my father's power meant, only that he had always looked down on me.

So I've always worked very hard, if I can do 100 points, I will never do 99 points, I really think I am his most beloved son. ”

Speaking of this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his cold face.

"All my efforts were just to pave the way for my brother, who was the only inheritor in my father's heart. As for my brother, in order to pull me down from the altar, he did not hesitate to make all kinds of calculations against me. ”

"But now that he's got the status and rights he wants, why is he still interfering in your affairs?"

"Because Hermes' appearance disturbed the order of the parallel time and space, and because his group was extremely cunning, my brother missed a few times when dealing with them. My father finally got angry with him and gave me the task of dealing with hermes. ”

"So Clotho was in such a hurry to wake me up just to lure out Hermes again, right?" Star Swirl asks.

Mr. X nodded, "He wants to prove that he is stronger than me. ”

"So, it's just the task. Even if you don't get the antidote in time, you won't die, will you? ”

"So you're in a hurry to collect energy because of this? You... What a stupid thing. ”
