Chapter 695: Back in Time, On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight fell like fine sand and fell into the desert below.
In a forest of wind-eroded rocks, Redsleeves struggled to escape, past the wind-eroded rock pillars, and at the same time tried to suppress his panting as much as possible so as not to reveal his position.
In the rear, the sound of breaking the air continued to sound.
Silver needles and stitches, like the embroidery needles of death, weave through the rocky forest, easily piercing all obstacles in their path.
And behind a row of silver needles, Lin Xue chased after him with a sickle.
Red Sleeves was a little bitter, from the moment the other party changed her thinking mode just now, she knew that the mind reading technique was useless.
As a top student in the medical department, this woman's numerical correspondence of human muscles and bones has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and she does not need reaction time at all, and she can easily see digital attacks.
But she is different, she is just an ordinary person, and the other party actually despises her in this way, which is really unreasonable.
Especially since the other party still holds the divine power of the sewing god in her hands, these silver needles and stitches are extremely troublesome, once they are entangled, even her ability is difficult to get out.
So after fighting the opponent a few times and finding that he couldn't beat him at all, Red Sleeves decisively chose to run away.
"Whew!"
A breaking sound sounded abruptly above her head, and in a brief thought, the other party had somehow rediscovered her location.
Redsleeves hurriedly got up again and ran away.
The silver needles around her seemed to have eyes, emerging from all directions and surrounding her.
"Damn it!"
Red Sleeves scolded secretly, knowing that there was no way to escape, and hurriedly plunged into the sandstone under his feet.
Her ability to pass is useful for scouting and ambushing, but not for escaping, as when she assimilates into an obstacle, her movement speed will be greatly slowed down, and she can't hide too deeply, as each obstacle penetration will only last up to half a minute, and before the time comes, she will suffocate herself.
The combination of these two disadvantages makes it less convenient than escaping on the ground.
At this moment, she really had no choice, she had to go underground to dodge first, at least in the process of entering the obstacles, she herself was invincible.
However, not long after the red sleeves burrowed into the ground, he suddenly felt a shaking of the mountain, and then a sense of floating came.
The boulder she was in seemed to have been forcibly lifted from the ground by some force.
That wasn't the end of it, as several silver needles with stitches pierced through the stone and spread outward, joining the massive sandstone in the surrounding sand.
Then, the boulders began to be 'stitched' onto the sandstone where she was.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Listening to the constant bombardment around her, Red Sleeves was startled, and quickly realized the other party's purpose: to suffocate her to death in this stone!
Obviously, this woman has seen through the weakness of her abilities, and once she does not show up after a certain amount of time, she will be assimilated into an obstacle forever.
Thinking of this, Redsleeves hurriedly moved outward, trying to leave the boulder, but every time she left a stone, new stones had been stitched together from the outside world, causing her to keep walking through the sandstone without seeing her head.
The obstacle time was still passing minute by minute, and Red Sleeves became more and more anxious, mobilizing the energy of his whole body and squirming outward.
Fortunately, as more and more stones were stitched together, the surface area became larger and larger, and the speed at which the other party filled the stones gradually couldn't keep up with the speed at which she escaped.
Finally, just before the barrier time was about to reach its limit, Redsleeves emerged from the sandstone and breathed fresh air again.
However, before there was time to rejoice, a large net woven of stitches came to the mask, and this time the red sleeves had no possibility to dodge, and they were firmly netted.
Below, Lin Xue walked out of the smoke and dust, and the stitches extending from the fingers of her right hand were slightly pulled, and the thread web around the red sleeve body was quickly tightened, and her whole body was entangled into a dumpling by the cobweb-like stitches, hanging in the air, completely unable to move.
"Sure enough, your obstacle crossing can only be assimilated into tangible matter, and it cannot be assimilated into the stitches made of energy bodies." Lin Xue looked at the red sleeves and spoke.
Red Sleeves was a little bitter when he heard this.
This woman is too sharp......
It's clear that she has mind-reading skills, but the other party is like a fiery eye, easily looking through her weaknesses one by one, and countering them one by one.
"Now, then, tell me everything you know." Lin Xue stepped forward, collected the Death Hook Lock of the Red Sleeves, and put the sharp blade of the sickle in front of the opponent's neck.
Red Sleeves couldn't break free at this time, and in the Lin Xue thoughts she read, the other party had already thought of dozens of sets of countermeasures once she broke free.
This complicated thought made Red Sleeves a little numb, and she suddenly wanted to retract the preface: This woman is really terrible, compared to it, she would rather go to a fight with Mu You's real knife and real gun, at least die and understand......
"I don't know the specifics, I just know that this is his 'Plan B'......" Red Sleeves swallowed and had to speak obediently.
"What do you mean?" Lin Xue frowned.
"Before the action, he prepared two plans, the first set is to tell you before, grasp the authority of the Creation Mountain, and then resurrect the first generation of fools. And if there is an accident in the middle of this set of plans and it cannot be realized, a backup plan will be activated, and a prop will be used to go back to the past, but there seems to be some unknown risks in doing so, so it is set as a backup plan......"
"What is the purpose of going back in time? Can you come back? Lin Xue asked.
"I don't know ......"
"Don't know?"
"I really don't know!"
Seeing Lin Xue frowning, the sickle was sent a few more points in front of her, and Red Sleeves hurriedly added: "All of the above were also revealed by him unintentionally, and he never told me more specific content." ”
Lin Xue looked at her with a sneer: "You are a person who can read minds, what do you want to know and he still needs to tell you?" ”
Red Sleeves' face was a little gloomy: "I...... Can't read his mind. ”
"Why?"
"He doesn't allow ......"
"Joke, if he doesn't allow you to read it?"
"He'll feel it!" Red Sleeves sighed, and said with some amazement: "Before assisting me in fusing the divine bones of mind reading, he threatened me with a child, saying that he has some top secrets in his heart that must not be known to outsiders, and if I dare to try to read his heart, whether it is successful or not, he will make our mother and son die without a place to bury......"
“……”
Lin Xue's face gradually became strange after hearing this.
"What kind of eyes are you?" Red Sleeves suddenly noticed that there was some 'sympathy' in Lin Xue's gaze when she looked at her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I just think you're pathetic."
"What do you mean?"
"Can't you see that your child is dead?" Lin Xue was blunt.
Hearing this, Red Sleeves suddenly became excited: "No, my son is not dead!" He promised me that he would train my child to be a talent and give it back to me in its entirety! ”
"You ......"
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't tell for a while, did she really think so, or was she simply unable to accept the facts and was deceiving herself......
"Even if you don't read his heart, as the descendants of the god of death, our eyes can directly see the good and evil values of each person, which represents the essence of the core of a soul, if your son is still alive, you should see two numbers in his body, but in fact, ......" Lin Xue shook her head.
The reason why she was so sure that the child in the red sleeves was dead was because there was only one good and evil value number in the little boy's body, -129.
This is obviously the value of the old man named Zuoqiu, although it is a negative number, but the value is not too big, indicating that this person is actually not bad enough to be heinous.
"Perhaps...... Just because the numbers overlapped...... Besides, we haven't seen any other examples of this kind of soul possession, so how do you know that there must be two? Redsleeves instinctively justified.
Lin Xue didn't answer, she looked up and glanced at the red sleeves carefully, and suddenly her fingers popped out.
A silk thread flew out, and at the moment when the red sleeves couldn't react, it wrapped around her face, and with the movement of Lin Xue's fingers, the mask on the red sleeves' face fell off with the silk thread, revealing the true face under the mask.
"What do you do?" Red Sleeves was startled and hurriedly turned his face away, trying to cover it.
"Sure enough, your appearance has been restored...... Lin Xue sighed.
"What?" Redsleeves was a little flustered.
"At that time, we were fighting for the Grim Reaper's inheritance in the Tomb of the Grim Reaper, and we both lost our most precious things, my grandmother died because of it, and you lost your appearance."
"This is not a prank left by the Grim Reaper to posterity, but a price that everyone who wields the power of the Grim Reaper must pay. I used to think that this price was fixed, but now from your example, it seems that the most precious things in everyone's heart may shift with the stage of life......"
"So even the Grim Reaper himself in history is always alone and without any friends, because anyone he considers a loved one will die quickly......"
Lin Xue looked at Red Sleeves' face that had returned to normal: "You were once disfigured, but now you are restored, also because the most precious thing in your heart has changed, from appearance, to your child......"
"No, it can't be! My son is still alive, he can't be dead! It's all your guess......" Redsleeves' eyes widened, her voice raised as she tried to retort, but her trembling body proved that she was shaking.
Lin Xue exhaled, the more she refuted at this time, the more she proved that she valued her children.
"It's a pity that we, as the descendants of the Grim Reaper, are destined to never have a loved one in this life from the day we receive the power of the Grim Reaper......"
"Whether your sons are alive or not only needs to wait for them to come back, and you can read your mind to confirm it."
"However, only if they can come back......"
……
Mu You's vision gradually recovered from the darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still standing in the altar cave, not even changing his position in the slightest.
The cave was empty, and he was the only one, and the boy and Ava were nowhere to be seen.
The surrounding storm had calmed down for some time, but Mu You turned his head to look and quickly noticed something abnormal: he saw a stone suspended in mid-air near the entrance of the cave.
Mu You stepped forward and reached out to take the stone.
This is obviously just an ordinary stone, without any strange energy attached, but it floats in the air so naturally, unless......
After thinking about it, Mu You threw the stone out of the cave.
The stone was out of his hand, and as soon as it flew three or four meters away, it came to a standstill and hovered in mid-air again.
Mu You raised his eyebrows, and finally determined: he was in the Stopping Realm!
"Is it because of that block?" Mu You recalled the previous scene, and after a little silence, he vaguely understood.
The cube is a container for the Time Heart Fragments, which Vivien has said that when activated, it will allow him to temporarily gain a time sensing ability similar to Vivien's, and he will also react passively when someone around him activates the time ability.
The little boy had destroyed the hourglass treasure before, apparently activating some kind of time ability, and he was also involved in this ability because of the fragmentation of the block.
"Who?"
Mu You was sorting out the current situation when he suddenly heard an undetectable sound from outside the cave.
Mu You dodged and rushed to the outside of the cave, and saw a young figure moving out of the mountain corridor in front of him, it was the little boy before.
The boy was on tiptoe, careful with every step, trying not to make a sound.
It's a pity that he still underestimated Mu You's hearing.
At the moment when he saw Mu You appear, obvious panic flashed on the little boy's face, and he didn't restrain his steps anymore, and began to run wildly towards the girl outside the cave.
It's just that the speed is still too slow, Mu You's figure flashes ghostly continuously, and in a few steps, he has already caught up with the other party, and reached out to lift the little boy up.
The little boy was choked by Mu You's iron hand again, and while struggling frantically, his heart was full of bitterness.
He laughed at the other party at the end, and then he should have left alone in style, arriving at this absolutely safe place, and the ghost knows how the other party would follow......
This feels like driving a car to a passer-by, and after the other party is angry, he should have walked away, but suddenly found that the car ran out of gas.
"What is this place?"
"What was the item you just used?"
Mu You asked two questions in a row, and at the same time his hand was slightly strained.
The little boy suddenly felt the feeling of suffocation come again, his little face was flushed, and his neck was on the verge of being twisted at any time.
"This is the stop, the past stop...... Ahem, the prop just now is the anchor point of the stop, and after activation, you can go to the stoppage that has been opened in history...... "The matter is a foregone conclusion, and the little boy has nothing to hide, under the threat of life, hurry up and tell it."
"The ...... of the past stop" Mu You frowned when he heard it: "What is the specific era?" ”
"1300 years ago...... On the eve of the decisive battle between the Fool and the Devourer...... Ahem...... "The little boy tried to say the message, and Venus began to rise in front of him, like a person about to drown, kicking his limbs desperately.
“?”
Mu You was stunned, he didn't expect to follow the other party and directly span more than 1,300 years......
"How do I get back?"
Reacting to it, Mu You asked subconsciously.
Going back to the past is not a good thing for him, because there is still a lot of work to be done in the future.
Besides, this time it was obviously not a normal time travel, but he had entered a certain stop in the past, didn't that mean that if he couldn't go back, he could only be trapped in this stop forever?
"I don't know...... Ahem, my teacher...... Only told me how to come...... I never thought about going back......" the little boy said with difficulty.
"Teacher? Who is it? Seeing that the little boy was about to turn his back on his breath, Mu You relaxed his grip on him a little.
"The ...... of this era The Dawning City Lord ...... "The little boy was finally able to breathe, and he hurriedly took a big breath, but he didn't dare to neglect Mu You's question, for fear of being pinched again."
"The agent of the God of Time...... Mu You suddenly understood a little, no wonder this person knew so much about Dawning City and the ability of time, it turned out to be a teacher-student relationship. (End of chapter)
