Qin Jiandan rushed back to the Yelonghui headquarters at 7:30 in a hurry, but could not see his master.
Doctor Li summoned Qin Jiandan, Hu Chi, and Lin Lin, a total of four insiders, to discuss urgent issues in the lounge of the martial arts training ground.
"...As Hu Chi saw with his own eyes, the president locked himself and the former president's black mist souls on different timelines, to be precise, the second before ours."
Four people sat around the empty hospital bed. Doctor Li, opposite Qin Jiandan, told the story of the president's disappearance and the true name of the steel armor breathing method.
Qin Jiandan felt his hair stand on end. He twiddled his knuckles next to Linlin:
"Is the real name of the Steel Armor Breathing Method actually the "Yin Beast Arms"? No wonder the steel armor breathing method briefly failed when I faced off against the Ancient Corpse Yin Beast. Could this be an abnormal synchronization between similar materials? "
Linlin shuddered, and the pink hair on her temples swayed slightly:
"Heiwu wants to eat people. Heiwu will evolve into the Yin Beast state after eating living creatures. Will my brother's life be in danger if he practices this "Yin Beast Arms"? "
Dr. Li's glasses reflected dazzling white light. As he spoke, he controlled a device in his hand that resembled a combination of a radio and a game controller:
"Everyone must remember that the name "Yin Beast Arms" must not be used to refer to the Steel Armor Breathing Method outside, otherwise it may cause unrest in various fields. "
After Linlin nodded to confirm, Dr. Li answered Linlin's question:
"Although there are very few samples, I guess that those who practice the steel armor breathing method will eventually end up being eaten by the black mist and turning into a real Yin beast."
"!
"
Linlin's eyes widened and she was speechless. Heitong was quickly soaked in tears. Qin Jiandan was quite calm as the person involved. He comforted his sister in turn:
"It doesn't matter~ It doesn't matter how you die in the end. Besides, do you think Master will be fine if he doesn't live to be 80 years old?"
Linlin put her hands on her knees and sobbed:
"Master...why do you want your brother to practice such unlucky martial arts..."
Hu Chi was thinking that it was a good thing that he had not succeeded in practicing. Doctor Li said next to him:
"The black mist remnant soul of the former president was imprisoned on the 18th floor underground in order to take out a piece of "seed" from his body and implant it into your bodies as a prerequisite for practicing the steel armor breathing method. In chronological order, they include Ouyang Suixing, Hu Chi, Qin Jiandan, Linlin..."
The tiger idiot almost spit out the thirst-quenching energy drink:
"It's not surprising that I'm there, but why is there Linlin! Will having black mist seeds in the body cause damage to health and suffer from phlogiston disease?"
The black mist is a self-aware "living phlogiston ashes". People have always believed that the black mist not only eats people, but also that people who have been in close contact with the black mist are more likely to suffer from phlogiston disease.
Linlin felt a little relieved when she heard this. She hugged Qin Jiandan's left arm from the side and leaned on her brother:
"Master may want me to die with my brother, right? When my brother was eaten by the black mist, it would be great if the black mist seeds in my body could also be stimulated..."
Hu Chi frowned:
"Linlin, don't talk nonsense. Master can't do such boring things. Doctor Li, if the "Yin Beast Arms" on Jiandan explodes, you won't let me and Linlin be buried together, right? "
Qin Jiandan looked at Hu Chi across the hospital bed:
"Senior brother, you don't mean to say that! Although I don't want Linlin to die with me, Linlin is very willing to die with me... Why do you look so reluctant?"
"Nonsense!" Hu Chi snorted, "Linlin dying with you is called sacrificing love, but me dying with you is a waste! Doctor Li, the black mist seeds in our bodies won't have any side effects, right?"
Dr. Li fiddled with the antenna of the device, and the device made a rustling sound:
"I'm not an expert in the steel armor breathing method, but according to my research, the black mist is a "collective consciousness creature." All the black mist in the world are connected to each other. The closer the distance, the denser the connection. "
As if she deliberately wanted to strengthen the connection with the black mist in her body, Linlin hugged her brother's arm tightly. In front of Dr. Li and Hu Chi, Qin Jiandan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to break free for fear of hurting his sister.
Dr. Li continued:
"The process of extracting black mist seeds is very dangerous, and only the president himself can do it. You were unknowingly implanted with black mist seeds by the president, and theoretically have the possibility of practicing the steel armor breathing method. At the same time, black mist The seeds have a certain immunity to phlogiston disease, and the president probably implanted the black mist seeds into Linlin based on this."
"I see!"
Qin Jiandan suddenly realized that just now he was thinking that it was too outrageous for his master to ask Linlin to practice the steel armor breathing method. It turned out that the seed was implanted just for vaccination. Although the master favors boys over girls, he still dotes on Linlin secretly.
Hearing that Black Mist Seeds not only do not bring phlogiston disease, but also have a certain immune effect, Hu Chi breathed a sigh of relief:
"It seems that although I haven't mastered the steel armor breathing method, it is still beneficial to have black mist seeds in my body. The master's black mist remnant soul can actually produce immune seeds. If the outside world knows about it, they might form a group to come to collect the master. My ancestor’s hair!”
The scrape Hu Chi received from the debris in the morning was not treated, and he simply put on a few biochemical bandages. He was frightened when he talked about his master, but Qin Jiandan and Linlin had no real feelings.
Qin Jiandan asked Dr. Li:
"Master is now trapped one second before our timeline. Although he left a message asking me to absorb the energy from the 18th floor underground, can master be saved by simply absorbing the energy? What should I do specifically?"
At this time, Dr. Li finally adjusted the combination of the game controller and radio in his hand:
"Jiandan, this is a "cross-time and space communicator". When you enter the time and space turbulence on the 18th floor underground, I can lock the black mist particles on your body and communicate with you across time and space. But the communication window is very unstable, so you have to be mentally prepared to lose contact with me at any time. "
"Communication across time and space!?" Linlin and Hu Chi exclaimed at the same time.
Linlin: "Could it be that after my brother goes down to the 18th floor underground, will he... be able to travel through time?"
Tiger Chi: "After the sword pill absorbs energy, it can also enter the previous second of our timeline and bring back the disappeared master?"
Doctor Li nodded: "What you said is correct, but everything is just a theory. Even this "cross-time and space communicator" has not been tested. "
"Whether Jiandan can successfully travel through time, or whether you can bring the president back after time travel, I cannot guarantee. Like the president, there is a possibility that you will be trapped in a different time and space from us."
Qin Jiandan felt his sister hugging his left arm tighter. It was a hug that he didn't want to lose and wanted to incorporate his brother's body into his heart.
Although the possibility of being separated from his sister forever was suddenly before his eyes, Qin Jiandan still made up his mind:
"I want to go. Master has raised me and Linlin and has been very kind to us. As long as there is still a chance of coming back, I will give it a try!"
Linlin sighed helplessly as acquiescence. Dr. Li continues to serve as the commentator:
"The biggest secret of Ringstone City is the phlogiston crystal. Even the company's utilization efficiency of phlogiston crystal is quite limited. When consuming phlogiston crystal or phlogiston coal, some energy will always escape into the air."
"These free energies are all over the Ring Stone City. When using super powers, the superpowers turn themselves into a medium and express these free energies through their own transformation. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, they do not comply with the rules at all. The law of conservation of energy, something that can be called a miracle.”
"The black mist is the ashes of living phlogiston, which strangely connects all the free energy in time and space. Alexander's time ability has a chain reaction with the black mist on the president, as well as the black mist remnant soul of the previous president, In turn, the 18th floor underground became an abnormal space where time powers swept through Baoxiao."
"Except for Jiandan, no one else can enter the 18th underground floor. Once you enter Jiandan, you must be mentally prepared to be pulled into the vortex in an instant and forced to perform a "time jump." "
Qin Jiandan agreed:
"I will be prepared. No matter what, I have to save Master. Since Master left a message saying that Dr. Li and I can solve the crisis, it will definitely not be too difficult."
Although he wanted to call Mu Yue before departure, Qin Jiandan felt unable to say such "farewell" words.
Moreover, the master is stuck in different timelines, and his illness has been very serious recently. Qin Jiandan doesn't want to waste time anymore.
Keeping everything simple, Qin Jiandan said goodbye to Dr. Li, Hu Chi, and his sister as usual, and took the high-speed elevator alone to the 18th floor underground.
Before the elevator door closed, Linlin's reluctant look lingered in her mind. With the determination to return successfully burning in his chest, Qin Jiandan walked into the pure white turbulence of time and space.
It hurts! Why the hell does it hurt so much! Is this the Steel Armor Breathing Method...or is the Yin Beast Arms absorbing the escaped time energy? There are so many, they are overflowing! You only need to travel for one second, so you don’t need so much energy, right?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
!
A violent shock hit, as if all the molecules in his body were destroyed and then reassembled. Qin Jiandan opened his eyes that were tightly closed due to the severe pain all over his body.
"Eh? Why are you outside? Are you traveling to the wrong place?"
Looking around, Qin Jiandan found that this place was vaguely Yingtong Street in District 2 of the Outer City, but the nearby shops looked a bit strange. Some buildings were newer than he remembered, some buildings were older than he remembered, and some shops had different signs than he remembered. Same……
Wait! If we only travel for 1 second, it will definitely not cause such a large-scale difference in the age of buildings, right? So how long have I traveled through time?
"Hey, big brother, don't suddenly run out and block the road! And you're still looking around furtively. It's really disgusting~"
A somewhat familiar voice came from behind. Qin Jiandan turned around but did not find the other party immediately. Looking down, I found a little red-haired girl wearing a five-petal flower ninja costume with a ponytail hairstyle, her hands on her hips, and she was talking to Qin Jiandan with her head arrogantly:
"Fufufu~ You are so big, you can't find a job, right? You are obviously an adult, but you are wandering on the street in broad daylight, and you look like a bastard from the beginning to the end!"
The muscles under Qin Jiandan's eyes were pulsing. Whether it was the appearance or the clothes he was wearing, he was definitely Xiaoxia, but there was a big problem with his age.
"Uh huh huh~ I am in a good mood today, so I will reluctantly accept you as a "slave for a day." Yingtong Street is my father's territory. Brother Zongyu, you have to be careful with me, otherwise you will be cut into three pieces and squirming on the ground. You will be even more embarrassed than you are now, hahahaha! "
Qin Jiandan was very angry when he heard this. Now he was sure that the "time jump" had an accident. It was not a jump to the previous second at all, but at least a jump of five years forward, okay?
The evidence is that judging from Xiaoxia's height and overflowing childishness, she was only 12 years old when she died. Moreover, this person always talks about "Big Brother Zayu" and so on, and the aura of a female brat is too strong! It seems that Xiaoxia, you are not unfair at all if you are bombarded by me in the future!
