Chapter 262 The Price of Time Reversal

Zuo Shan had a long dream in which she returned to Earth and saw herself as a vegetable, lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

Every week, Mom and Dad would take her younger brother to the hospital to visit her. He would always ask, "When will my sister wake up?"

Dad looked as if he had been hit hard; his shoulders slumped, and his once straight back seemed unable to bear the weight, bending slightly.

My mother would always sneak off to her hospital room alone, sit by her bedside and cry, repeatedly muttering:

"Fanzi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone in the countryside to ease the burden."

When you were little, every time your mother went back to the countryside to visit you, you would tug at my sleeve and say, "Mom, stay a few more days, Little Fan has so many secrets to tell you."

But at that time, my mother was busy working to earn money, so how could she have time to stay for a few more days?

Later, when you grew up and your family's financial situation improved, they were finally able to bring you to live with them. But you no longer wanted to whisper secrets to your mother.

Now you've become a vegetable for no reason. The doctor said you might never wake up, but Mom doesn't believe it. Mom knows I'll wait until the day you wake up!

Mom doesn't ask for your forgiveness, she only hopes that you can find a man who cares for you, and that she can watch you get married, have children, build your own little family, and live a happy and harmonious life.

Mom knows that your long-distance running is very tiring. After you wake up, let's find an easier job, okay?

You've slept long enough, Mommy's little fan, please wake up soon, okay?

"Mommy would give up the rest of her life to make you wake up right now, waaaaaah!"

Zuo Shan stood by the bed, wanting to reach out and hug her mother, to wipe away the tears on her face, but she found that she was just a phantom and could not touch anything real.

She cried and said to her mother, "Mom! I've forgiven you for a long time! Ever since I understood how hard life is, I've never blamed you for leaving me alone in the countryside."

Because I wasn't a lonely little thing in the countryside, I had my grandparents who loved me, so I actually had a better life than most kids.

Unlike other elderly people in the village, they didn't look down on me because I was a girl.

They always say to me: "What's wrong with girls? Girls can do anything! Aren't there characters like Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan in the plays?"

Nowadays, girls with good grades can still get into Tsinghua and Peking Universities, making those old folks who have grandsons who don't study hard extremely envious!

It was thanks to the encouragement and support of my grandparents that I was able to get into a sports school and win a championship!

I've also awakened superpowers...

Huh? Why am I thinking about superpowers? Have I forgotten something important, or someone important?

As Zuo Shan thought about this, she felt a sharp pain in her brain, but she still couldn't help but try her best to think about it, because she felt that the things and people she had forgotten were very important.

Just as her head was throbbing with pain, she suddenly felt as if a small comb had appeared inside her head.

It combed and combed inside, and her head seemed to slowly stop hurting. She could vaguely hear the babbling of a baby, a sound that seemed familiar, but she just couldn't remember it.

The little comb kept combing and combing in her head, and it felt like an eternity, as long as centuries. Then one day, she suddenly heard a baby's clear, tender voice: "Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma—"

She suddenly opened her eyes and met two pairs of extremely similar blue eyes, one large and one small.

The little one's eyes were brimming with tears, as if it might burst into tears at any moment.

The older one's eyes were full of worry, and he looked extremely haggard.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, her memory returned, and she opened her mouth, her voice hoarse: "Achen, Xiaobai, why are you all staring at me?"

"Waaaaah! Mama mama mama!" The baby finally released the pent-up grievances and fear that had been building up for days.

When Mommy came back that day, her eyes were tightly closed, and she wouldn't wake up no matter how much the baby cried.

Uncle Maoli said that Mommy suffered a severe backlash. The baby didn't understand what backlash meant; he only knew that Mommy's breathing was weak and she hadn't woken up.

Every now and then, Aunt Lele would come over and force her daughter Suisui to transfer her supernatural powers to her mother. Suisui was almost exhausted, but her mother still wouldn't wake up.

Aunt Lele kept crying secretly until her eyes were red.

Xiao Bao's uncle was so anxious that he kept circling around her, making all sorts of beautiful metal flowers and filling her bedside with them.

Even her number one enemy often stayed by her bedside, giving her all sorts of strangely colored potions, but Mommy still didn't react, so he could only stare at her blankly.

The baby can sense his sadness, but the baby doesn't understand why he is sad.

His mom is his mom, but she's not his, so why is he upset?

Grandma Gu also came, and she used healing spells one after another, but none of them worked.

She said the backlash from her powers wasn't physical injury or an overexertion of her abilities; she had used extraordinary abilities and had to pay the price. As for whether she could wake up, that was up to fate.

The baby doesn't know what destiny is; he only knows that he doesn't want Mommy to keep sleeping, and he wants Mommy to wake up.

But he didn't know how to wake his mother up. Then he saw that his mother seemed to have a headache, so he used his mental energy to condense a small comb and comb through the tangled energy strands in her head.

As he combed his hair, he kept calling "Mommy" with "Ah ah ah," but somehow his tongue twisted and he blurted out "Ma ma ma ma ma ma."

Mommy finally woke up, but she was still very weak and didn't have the strength to hold the baby.

Then Enemy Number One's eyes suddenly lit up. He gently placed the baby in the stroller, hugged his mother tightly, and burst into tears: "Fan, you're finally awake!"

Baby: I really want to push away the bad guy who stole my spot!

Zuo Shan was unconscious for seven days, which terrified her whole family. Fortunately, she finally woke up, and her weakness only lasted for one day before she was full of energy again.

Everyone who saw her hesitated, wanting to ask her what kind of incredible skill she had used, but no one dared to ask, fearing that if they did, she would suffer a backlash again.

Xiao Bai didn't ask any questions, but said solemnly, "No matter what that is, you're never allowed to use it again! You were lucky this time, but next time you might never wake up again!"

Zuo Shan thought to herself that she didn't want to use it either, but at the time she just regretted that there was no medicine for regret in the world, no "if only I had known" that could not be bought, and that she could not go back to the time before the chains binding the strange beast were cut by the adults.

Then she inexplicably returned to that moment, and she didn't even know how she had managed to buy that "if only I had known" item.

But she certainly couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she immediately reminded the adults—that the beast was chained, and they must not cut it.

result……

She didn't see the outcome. After watching the adult's back as he jumped into the ravine, everything went black before her eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.

Now that she had sorted out her thoughts, she finally understood what kind of incredible skill she had awakened—time reversal.

This skill is even more terrifying than time travel or rebirth; if used in a crucial way, it could potentially change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both overall structure and overall situation).

For example, if she could go back to before the Great Cataclysm on Algae Star, even if she couldn't change the fate of the apocalypse, she could at least save more people.

Of course, she didn't even dare to think about it.

/：

She went back to before the battle between the adults and the monsters, gave him a small hint, and then she fell into a coma for seven days.

Moreover, over the past seven days, Madam Gu, Lele, and Xiaobai have used countless healing abilities, injected vitality, and various high-level recovery potions on her.

But none of it worked!

If she were to be so audacious as to attempt to rewind time to save thousands of lives, her life would likely be the death knell for her.

She's not that saintly; unless it concerns the baby's life or death, she won't easily use this time reversal again.
