Time, to a certain extent, can be regarded as a special existence.
When the apple falls from the tree and is deflected by external forces, if you want to return to the original track, you need to change it again.
The same goes for time. When it changes due to external force, it needs to be used again to reverse the offset of time.
"Now, you have good news, and bad news."
The man snapped his fingers into the void, and Leonid's pocket watch appeared out of thin air and fell into Jiang Chenchuan's hand.
"The bad news is, you have five seconds left, and when the countdown reaches zero, you have no chance."
The minute hand on the dial moves very slowly, gradually approaching zero from the five position.
The man turned his head. Although he looked exactly like Jiang Chenchuan, he looked more lively, not so heavy, and not so serious.
"But the good news is that time in this world will pass extremely slowly, and you can still think for a long, long time..."
The man leaned on the bench and stared into the distance. Before, he thought he was simply looking into the darkness. Now it seems that what is hidden in the darkness is the source of pollution. Perhaps, it is the "original sin".
“Death is never the end…oblivion is.”
Although the man spoke easily, there was no smile on his face, which made Jiang Chenchuan confused about his true purpose.
"You mean...choice?"
After a long silence, Jiang Chenchuan responded, if this man is his only connection with darkness, then having power is also an effective means.
"You should be able to feel that since using the relic, there has been an unstable force surging in your body. Maybe you can try...touch it..."
The man was guiding Jiang Chenchuan.
"To find 'Original Sin'."
He patted Jiang Chenchuan's shoulder, as if to encourage him.
"What?"
"Original sin" was like the keyword that made the cold blood boil again. This gave Jiang Chenchuan a sense of destiny that was forbidden to touch, as if the responsibility of saving mankind had been placed on him again.
"I suddenly... don't want you to choose anymore."
The man spoke.
Under Jiang Chenchuan's confused gaze, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Snapped."
The next second, the pocket watch and Jiang Chenchuan himself disappeared without a trace.
The suffocating coldness surged up, covering that little bit of warmth. This was the pain from the real world. Countless darkness reached out to him, trying to infect his consciousness and drag him into the abyss. He had always been Fighting in such an environment.
Suddenly, a light lit up in the darkness, yellow and green intertwined. The hot light stung his body and gradually penetrated into his body.
Then, a man's voice sounded in the darkness.
"Superhero, charge!"
For a moment, there seemed to be an electric current passing through Jiang Chenchuan's brain, a scene that did not belong to his memory... On a night of lightning and thunder, the cold bluestone streets continued to spread forward, raindrops or blood slid down the hair, the iron number 00174 The card was hung around his neck, and he was holding an unnamed heavy weapon covered in blood and firing forward...
"That is……"
Jiang Chenchuan fell into a brief coma.
…
This was an almost crushing battle, and pollution once again proved that monsters can easily kill humans who have no resistance, and often can kill people with just a few attacks.
Perhaps it was because the monster didn't want to kill anyone before it mutated, so it didn't take action immediately after the stasis of time ended.
Instead, after hesitating for a few seconds, he grabbed Jiang Chenchuan, opened his bloody mouth, and tried to put it into his mouth.
Just raised my head,
It met a pair of blue eyes.
As if grabbing a burning flame, something breath circulates in the tip of the claw, and a pale yellow light lights up, slowly covering the blade, tracing a beautiful arc, and the dripping blood splashes down.
The silver blade cut off the monster's arm. It seemed a little incredible. It was hard to imagine how this dying human could suddenly recover.
The next moment, a force called [Order] surged out of Jiang Chenchuan's body. After breaking free from the monster's hand, he fell steadily to the ground, grabbing the staff and sword in his hand, with anger burning in his eyes. There are responsibilities that cannot be avoided.
"original sin……"
Jiang Chenchuan spoke slowly.
The monster couldn't understand his words or the emotions in his eyes, it just wanted to kill mechanically.
"I will...annihilate you again!"
Feeling the power rising up, Jiang Chenchuan rushed towards the monster without hesitation, slashing like an art.
What is different from the previous situation is that every time the damage is caused, the monster cannot recover, and can only become stiff under the flickering of the sword shadows of the two lights...
Gradually, I could no longer move.
"it's over."
With the final blow, Jiang Chenchuan sent the staff and sword in his hand into the monster's heart, which was its most vulnerable place. Destroying the heart can destroy everything.
The dream was shattered.
The man woke up from the illusion. He looked blankly at the destroyed world in front of him. When he met Jiang Chenchuan's heavy eyes, he seemed to understand something.
The hazy and seductive voice no longer sounded, and countless moths emerged from under his skin, fluttering towards the light source. Their strength was losing little by little, and he understood that he was about to die.
"Nika..."
The hoarse old voice came from nowhere. It was his obsession that he was unwilling to die peacefully until the end.
"Do you believe me?"
Jiang Chenchuan came to him and slowly knelt down on one knee. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at him levelly.
"..."
The man could no longer answer.
"If you believe me, I will help you find him and then bring him to you."
Jiang Chenchuan carefully considered the possibility that Nika was still alive. The body they saw that day was more like a shell.
Combined with what happened to them on their way back, no one could drive away their carriage, only...Nika.
If Nika hadn't died, everything would have a reasonable explanation.
"ah……"
The man sighed.
It was also his final response to Jiang Chenchuan and the world.
There was the sound of running outside the door.
"Evel, guess what I found? The weapons left by the White Knight were actually what you said they were."
Ethan said cheerfully as he pushed open the door.
Then he saw everything in the laboratory, which was indescribably tragic and mutated monsters. He slowly closed his eyes under Jiang Chenchuan's words.
"he……"
"died."
Jiang Chenchuan stood up and responded.
He stood there, a stage for one person to fight. He turned around to feel it, but those eyes that brought disaster had long since disappeared.
Obviously, Ethan, who came back with a weapon in high spirits, was not so happy. He put away the pistol with a disappointed look and came to the man.
He closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of peace on his mutated face.
"We should notify the Knights of the Pure Palace to handle it now."
"But I'm going to take this."
Jiang Chenchuan took out the heart of Woye River that had been devoured by him from the man's body, and what fell with it was something that looked like an insect egg.
"What's this?"
Ethan leaned over and asked.
"Relic."
Yver von Heinrich, the processor of the third team of the Polnia Capital Museum, recovered the lost collection of the Church of the Dawn.
And an ordinary man died underground.
only,
From beginning to end,
Jiang Chenchuan never knew his name. If he had to say it, he could only use one word to describe everything he did...
Father.
