At this point, after getting the answer he wanted, Tokiwa Shogo decisively ended the conversation.
Because the rest, whether it's about the specific time they talked in 2010 or the specific content of their conversation, is stuff that's best left unasked... and never even needed to be asked.
Even if you talk too much, you may expose your secrets, make them suspicious, and cause unnecessary trouble out of thin air.
He only needs to follow the established plan to have a talk with '2010 Kogami Mitsuo' later on.
…
…
【year 2010】
The top floor of the Hongshang Foundation headquarters building.
Outside the president's office, a 'teleportation' magic circle suddenly lit up, and out of it came Tokiwa Shogo, who had driven the Time Demon Machine to this era.
Putting away the Wizard Knight watch, Tokiwa Shougo straightened his clothes and tightened his tie. When he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, his expression was suddenly startled.
"The world's time...has been stopped?"
Yeah, is it such a coincidence?
With this thought in mind, Tokiwa Shogo couldn't help but have an 'interesting' smile on his face. He turned from knocking to pushing and pushed open the door of Kogami Mitsuo's office.
As his footsteps continued to move forward, Tokiwa Shogo's eyes first passed over Erika Satonaka, who was sitting on the sofa with a tablet in front of her chest, and then stopped at Mitsuo Kogami, who was the most conspicuous person in the room.
At this time, Kogami Mitsuo was wearing a scarf and was holding a decorating bag in a dancing shape. His eyes were looking at the tablet held by Erika Satonaka in front of him, his expression stuck in a state of joy.
So Tokiwa Shogo followed Kogami Mitsuo's line of sight and looked at the screen on the tablet.
——The sarcophagus that sealed the greedy person, and the stone statue that Wang Ouzi sealed himself.
His eyebrows were raised, and the smile on Tokiwa Shougo's face grew stronger.
"Yeah, yeah, it's such a coincidence."
Just like he guessed after noticing that the world had entered a time-stop state.
"It turns out that today is the day when the Time Tribulator creates the alien OOO and wakes up Wang Ouz."
Tokiwa Shougo walked to Kogami Mitsuo and stood next to him, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
then,
In the president's office, Kosami Mitsuo's time resumed its flow. Not only that, but even the picture on the tablet screen also began to change, as if it was changing from a 'pause' state to a 'playing' state.
At the ruins excavation site, the camera that was controlled by experts to face the direction of Wang Ouzi and the sarcophagus before time stopped faithfully performed its duties, synchronizing everything it 'saw' to the camera held by Erika Satonaka. on the tablet.
Then he was reflected in the eyes of Konogami Mitsuo, who had been released from the time-stopped state by Tokiwa Shogo.
"--marvelous!!!"
After a brief transition from shock to surprise, Mitsuo Kogami, whose eyes were fixed on the screen on the tablet and his cheeks were so bloodshot that he couldn't restrain himself, shouted loudly.
"Awesome! Satonaka!!"
However, there was silence all around, and his excited shouts received no response at all.
There was no familiar happy birthday song ringing in the office.
This made Koshang Mitsuo, who was excited about the resurrection of his ancestor, calm down instantly as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
"Satonaka?"
His eyes moved slightly upward from the tablet, his brows furrowed, Hongami Mitsuo looked at Satonaka's still face as if it were in a picture and asked tentatively.
Of course, he still didn't get the slightest response he deserved.
At this moment, Tokiwa Shogo, who had been standing quietly next to Kogami Mitsuo, spoke.
"Don't worry, she's fine."
There was no special cover-up, but Tokiwa Shogo, who had always remained quiet, spoke up, and was immediately discovered by Kogami Mitsuo, who had calmed down because he noticed the abnormality in the world at this time.
His pupils shrank, and Kogami Mitsuo's eyes, which subconsciously wanted to turn his head, turned to the side, and then slowly moved back to the center of the eye sockets, keeping looking at the picture on the tablet.
"What's wrong with her?"
he asked.
With one hand behind his back, his thumb gently rested on the start button of the Wizard Knight's watch, and Tokiwa Shogo smiled, resting his other hand relaxedly on his side.
"What's wrong with her? No, I think what you need to ask is: What's wrong with the world now?"
Following Tokiwa Shougo's words, Kogami Mitsuo asked very cooperatively.
"What's happening to the world now?"
Tokiwa Shougo chuckled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that time has stopped moving temporarily."
When Hong Shang Guangsheng heard this, his head went blank: "Time...has been stopped!?"
Tokiwa Shougo responded: "Yes, that's it."
Then, he asked with a smile: "Why, can't you understand? Maybe you can look at the hands on your watch to confirm."
It's really a child's play way to confirm.
Hearing Tokiwa Shogo's joke, Kogami Mitsuo smiled bitterly in his heart and thought so. Then he raised his arm with the watch, and his eyes slightly shifted downward from the screen on the tablet. Sure enough, he saw the piece of The hands on the child's watch have stopped rotating.
Time stops, time stops...
It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand the meaning of the word, but he couldn’t believe how could such an incredible thing be done with the current technology in the world?
As far as he knew, even if Oz collected all the core coins, successfully evolved, and gained beyond infinite power, he would not be able to do such a thing.
In other words, he did not understand the word 'infinite' enough in the past, just as the scientists' vision eight hundred years ago was limited, so they had the desire to pursue the power of God when making core coins... ...not big enough!
The power to control time...wait.
"——If we are in a world where time has stopped, then why can I still move?"
Thinking of this, Koshang Mitsuo immediately asked.
"For this, you have to thank me."
After hearing this, it seemed that after confirming that Tokiwa Shougo had no ill intentions, or that he had mostly good intentions, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
After continuing to express his gratitude in compliance with Tokiwa Shogo's words, Kogami Mitsuo finally moved his eyes from the screen on the tablet to Tokiwa Shogo and asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"
"King of Time...King of Time, you can call me that."
Hearing Tokiwa Shogo's already planned answer, looking at his eyes that showed nothing but a full smile, he was infected by his confidence, even though what Tokiwa Shogo was showing in front of him at this time was That young face surprised him very much. Miraculously, Mitsuo Kogami had some faith in Tokiwa Shogo's powerful words.
Even so, he asked: "How do you prove it?"
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shougo finally pressed the Wizard's knight watch with the hand behind his back, and waved with the other free hand.
"It just so happens that I have a battle video of 'my future self' here. I want you to come and take a look."
The light in the office was manipulated and refracted, and a silent picture slowly unfolded. In it, a figure wearing dark golden armor and carrying a clock hand cloak stood calmly amidst thousands of demon machines and hail of bullets. Then, the images in the picture began to flow. .
That was exactly one of the images of the future encounter with Demon King of Time that Tsukuyomi showed him at the beginning.
At the same time, what was simultaneously staged on the tablet was the scene where Wang Ouzi resurrected and absorbed the core coins for the alien OOO to the end.
