The power of time cannot be stopped or hidden.
Jiangniao and Mustard Soup soon discovered the changes in each other.
There were wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, their skin lost its luster, their black hair turned gray, and their familiar faces became unfamiliar.
The maturity of middle-aged people yesterday spanned twenty years, but today it has become twilight and old age.
Gu Chi couldn't escape either. The passing time was like an invisible carving knife, carving age marks on his face.
Lingmao watched the originally handsome man grow older like a withering flower. Panic and fear appeared in her eyes. She reached out and touched her face. The touch that was no longer smooth made her eyes turn red. Cover your mouth tightly to prevent yourself from making any sound.
The laughter stopped abruptly and was replaced by harsh silence.
They stayed up all night with the power of the bell tower, and their spirits were already fragile. They thought they had overcome the difficulty, but in the blink of an eye they found that they were twenty years older. The gap from heaven to hell directly threw them to the brink of collapse.
At this moment, the air in the room was as thick as a swamp, making people breathless.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Niao lost control of his emotions and cursed: "We have obviously made it to dawn, why does time still jump?"
Time always sneaks away while sleeping. If you don't sleep, it will pass by openly. Anyway, they can't do anything about it. Is that what you mean?
Mustard Tang looked out the window absentmindedly. At this time, the outlines of the streets and buildings could no longer be seen. The whole city seemed to be connected together and turned into an eternal iceberg. He murmured: "Are we going to die?"
Lingmao's eyes were red and he looked at Gu Chi helplessly.
Just like the mustard soup said, they are dying, and what is weighing on their shoulders is not only the despair after hope, but also the impending death.
After today, they, along with this city, will be completely buried by heavy snow and wind and frost.
Things seem to be moving in an irreversible direction, and their hearts that were not afraid of death are also shaken.
The cold environment, the cruel time, the blow of failure, the almost exhausted spirit...
Everything affects their will.
Until Gu Chi suddenly spoke.
"Who told you we were going to die?"
Mustard Soup was stunned, lowered his head, and whispered: "But didn't we fail?"
"Failure does not equal death. There is another way." Gu Chi squinted his eyes and said, "Since you can't stop time by standing here, then demolish the clock tower that controls time."
After two days of observation, Gu Chi has been able to determine that all time in this world is controlled by the clock tower.
One circle of the blue dial represents a year, and one circle of the yellow dial represents a day.
During the day, both dials just rotate normally, and will not speed up until twelve o'clock in the evening.
They still had most of the day.
"As long as the hands on the dial stop spinning, the time will freeze, even..."
Gu Chi glanced at the three bell cats, "If we can reverse the hands, time will also flow back."
Back in time……?
The air was quiet for a second.
Jiang Niao calmed down and easily figured out that Gu Chi's inference was correct. Didn't Neil also say in his letter that he would take action against the clock tower?
Since time in this world can jump to the future, it is natural that it can also go back to the past. This makes sense!
Mustard Soup, who had originally given up, heard that he could turn back time, and his eyes regained some color: "We really don't have to die?"
"Not only do you not have to die, you also have a great chance to clear the level." Once they master the method of controlling time, they are almost immortal in this world, and the mission time limit has become truly unlimited. It is only a matter of time before they clear the level. Suddenly there was hope again. Lingmao was crying and laughing at the same time. She wiped her eyes and asked Gu Chi, "Have you thought of this method a long time ago?"
Gu Chi: "I just thought of it."
"Liar." Lingmao didn't believe it.
Yesterday, Gu Chi asked Jiang Niao to make more machinery, saying that it might be used later. She remembered this sentence very clearly. Thinking about it now, it was obvious that he was prepared with both hands. However, Lingmao didn't continue to ask. She was not cute the way she was now. If she did something unlovable again, she would be very annoying. She took the initiative to change the subject: "Then when will we set off?"
She wanted to quickly return to her youthful appearance.
Jiang Niao also looked at Gu Chi. His desire to pass the level was no longer as strong as when he first entered the dungeon. Now he just wanted to pass this level, prove that he was not a waste, and then sleep comfortably and get up. Then go to the forum and complain about why Dog Game designed the dungeon to be so annoying.
"If you have no problem, let's do it in three hours." Gu Chi said, "Now go to the gym to get used to your body."
Yesterday he asked Suzumaki to go to the gym just to tease the girl, but today he had to go.
They are nearly 60 years old, and their quality in all aspects is far inferior to before. They must adjust their condition, otherwise they may not be able to reach the bell tower.
"Lingmao, you go first and change to Jiangniao when you come down."
"good!"
"Jiangniao, go get all the guns from the basement. Also..."
Mustard Soup listened to Gu Chi arranging things for everyone, but he couldn't listen anymore - he suddenly realized a problem.
Walking dozens of miles on a flat road and walking dozens of miles in the snow are completely different concepts.
His physical constitution is weak, with only 4 points. His current body is fatter and weaker than before. In addition, he has not slept all night, and he may not be able to walk on a flat road. How should he walk on the snow?
"Mustard soup." Gu Chi called out after finishing arranging Jiangniao.
"Ah...here."
"Are you sleepy?" Gu Chi came over and asked, "Can you still hold on?"
"I can hold on." Mustard Tang lowered his head and avoided Gu Chi's gaze.
After getting along these days, everyone has a certain understanding of each other. He doesn't like to talk and has no sense of existence, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own understanding.
In Mustard Tang's heart, Gu Chi was a very powerful person who could always see through other people's thoughts at a glance, so he was instinctively afraid of looking into the eyes of this man.
"Do you think I can't guess what you're thinking if you don't look at me?" Gu Chi said.
Mustard soup: "..."
"Don't worry, we will help you." Gu Chi patted his shoulder and motioned him to look to the right.
At the entrance of the basement, Jiang Niao came up with two guns and two guns on his back, dragging a wooden board behind him.
"Is this...?" Mustard Soup didn't understand.
Jiang Niao grinned: "Brother Gu asked me to make a cart for you. When you can't walk anymore, we'll drag one with you."
Three for one?
Mustard Soup's lips trembled, he really...
"Actually, you don't have to do this..."
"It's not up to you to decide whether to use it or not."
Gu Chi interrupted: "Okay, I don't have time to cry for you now. Please count how many Awakening Herbs you still have. We may have to stay up late tonight."
After saying that, Gu Chi stopped caring about Mustard Soup and left Mustard Soup alone to sort out his emotions.
He stepped aside and inspected the firearm.
Jiang Niao, who was hammering nails at the side, saw his skillful movements and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Gu, are you also an agent?"
Gu Chi said "Yeah": "Yes in a few dreams."
Jiangniao: "..."
How many dreams are there?
What's the meaning?
Gu Chi didn't explain, and Jiang Niao didn't ask any questions and continued to do his work.
He had already gotten used to Gu Chi's sometimes cold and sometimes gentle style in the past few days, and Lingmao should also have a deep understanding of this.
This is a changeable man.
The cart will be ready soon.
Letting a mechanic do this kind of work is simply overkill.
Bellcat upstairs happened to come down, and Jiangdiao went to the gym.
After that came Gu Chi.
Before going upstairs, he asked about the mustard soup: "Have you finished ordering it? Is there enough Awakening Grass?"
Mustard soup: "Enough, just right."
At eight o'clock, I went to the gym for mustard soup and continued to make soup after coming down.
At eight fifty, the Xingshen soup was finished, and the mustard soup was put into three thermos bottles.
At nine o'clock, everyone put on their cotton-padded jackets and were fully armed.
"Have you brought everything?"
"Bring it with you!"
"Okay, let's go."
…
