Time paradox is a scary thing.

As a time dragon and a prophecy mage, Fang Zheng has always been concerned about this issue. And right now, Kuang San is also facing such a time paradox.

Kuang San wanted to kill Takamiya Mio before she created any spirits, but Fang Zheng doubted whether she could succeed. Although Kuang San's power was indeed very strong, since Takamiya Mio gave her this power, could it be that she had no way to deal with it? In Kuang San's memory, she basically didn't see Takamiya Mio take action, because except for the first time Takamiya Mio rescued her, in the subsequent battles, she was basically responsible for the deployment of the barrier, or handling the aftermath and other auxiliary work.

In this situation, it would be easy for Kurumi to think that Takamiya Mio has little fighting ability.

But this is obviously not the case, because after Kurumi discovered Tohka Mio's secret, she was instantly "killed" by Tohka Mio.

Of course, Kuang San might think that Takamiya Mio won unfairly. After all, she was in shock at the time, and even an ordinary person could have hurt her. If it was a fair fight, then Kuang San still thought she had a chance of winning.

However, Fang Zheng did not think so. Although it was cruel, in his opinion, there was almost no possibility for Kuang San to defeat the woman named Takamiya Mio.

So this raises a question. If Kurumi cannot defeat Takamiya Mio, then her behavior of going back to the past to assassinate Takamiya Mio is not just a simple act of giving away her life. According to the cycle and continuity of time, it is even possible that it was Kurumi who made Takamiya Mio take this path!

Maybe Takamiya Mio heard from Kuang San what she would do in the "future" and came up with this idea! In the end, she killed Kuang San who went back to the past, took away her spirit crystal, and began to "refine" and "recycle" the spirit crystal based on what Kuang San said and her spirit crystal, until she met Kuang San in the past again one day and gave her this spirit crystal from the future...

As a result, the world fell into a closed time loop.

No one can escape.

“Ah…Ahhh…”

Kuang San obviously also realized this at this moment, she widened her eyes, looked at her hands in horror, and uttered a low moan that was almost wailing. Then the next moment, Kuang San suddenly knelt on the ground, and her hands began to tear off her clothes!

“Ah…Ahhhhhh!!”

At this moment, Fang Zheng could clearly feel an evil, dark force erupting from the body of the girl in front of him. This was very similar to the feeling of being polluted by the abyss. It was a sign of the rise of the dark side of human nature!

Fortunately, Fang Zheng was well prepared.

Just as Kuang San exploded, Fang Zheng took a step forward, picked up the rifle that Kuang San dropped on the ground, aimed at Kuang San in front of him and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!!"

After being hit by the Fourth Bullet, Kuang San stopped moving. At the same time, her torn clothes and the wounds on her skin began to rewind as if time was going backwards. After a moment, Kuang San finally calmed down.

"...Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng..."

"You're welcome...have you calmed down?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng handed Kuang San a glass of water. He could understand Kuang San's despair and collapse. Going back to the past to end it all was Kuang San's greatest wish. Perhaps because she was too persistent, Kuang San did not notice the biggest loophole and problem in this plan. Fortunately, now under Fang Zheng's reminder, she has discovered this. Otherwise, once she returns to the past, Kuang San will find that she is the real culprit of all this... At that time, she may be truly desperate.

“…”

Kuang San didn't say anything. She reached out to take the cup and drank all the water in it in big gulps. Then Kuang San closed her eyes, and uncontrollable sadness and fear emerged on her delicate and beautiful face.

"Thank you... Mr. Fang Zheng. If you hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have noticed this loophole, but now... now... it's impossible for me to stop."

Having said that, Kuang San clenched her fists.

"This is my sad wish. After that day, everything I do is for this wish. I admit that I am very scared and afraid. If it really turns out like that, then everything I do will not prevent this tragedy, but will trigger it... But... But this is not the truth after all!"

Kurumi opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming with unyielding determination.

"Even if there is only 0.1% hope, I will try!"

"I admire your determination."

Seeing Kuang San regain her spirits, Fang Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But to be honest, your plan has too many holes that need to be filled. If you want, I can help you."

"…Why are you helping me?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kuang San raised her head and looked at him curiously.

"You should understand that this is not a simple matter, and... as you said, I still don't understand Takamiya Mio enough. If what you are worried about is right, this world is a dead loop of time, then if I go alone I will die, and if we all go we will also die..."

"This is different, Miss Kurumi."

Hearing Kuang San's question, Fang Zheng shook his head.

"I don't belong to this world. The cycle of this world cannot be linked to me, so I think I should be able to help you a little. More importantly, what Takamiya Mio did is not within my acceptable range. I think it is my responsibility to prevent all these tragedies from happening."

What Fang Zheng said was also true. On the surface, Tokisaki Kurumi and Takamiya Mio seemed to be similar. They would do anything to achieve their goals, even at the cost of sacrificing the lives of others.

But there are also differences between the two.

Fang Zheng has already investigated and found that most of the people killed by Tokisaki Kurumi had criminal records. In other words, they may not all be heinous criminals, but they are definitely not good people. And considering their identities, Fang Zheng can basically guess under what circumstances Tokisaki Kurumi killed these people.

Just as Fang Zheng said to Chonggong Mana before, if Kuang San just wanted to kill or absorb power, then she could just run to the downtown area to use her ultimate move. Especially after understanding the nature of Kuang San's "Eating Time City" skill, Fang Zheng became more and more convinced that if Kuang San wanted to absorb enough time power, she didn't have to be so picky. She only needed to find a crowded hospital, school or other public place to use the Eating Time City, and then she could absorb enough time power.

But even so, Kuang San did not choose to do so, which is one of the reasons why Fang Zheng can accept her. If Tokisaki Kuang San is a murderer who is willing to kill even babies for her own purposes, then even if Fang Zheng wants to get her very much, he will only burn her into firewood in the end.

But Takamiya Mio is just the opposite.

She is truly determined to achieve her goals by any means necessary, and judging from what happened to Kurumi before, Takamiya Mio is also selective about her targets...but the targets she chooses are unacceptable to Fang Zheng.

Because the girls that Takamiya Mio chose were girls like Kurumi and Yoshino.

Innocent and simple, just like Kuang San, she was originally just an ordinary lady, she had never done anything that would anger the heavens or the people, nor had she ever bullied anyone. She just lived her peaceful daily life quietly, but this stable life was destroyed by Takamiya Mio without hesitation.

Fang Zheng didn't know what Yoshino was like before, but judging from her personality, Yoshino before she became an elf was probably not a bad person who needed to be punished.

However, because of her own purposes, Takamiya Mio brought the fate of these girls into a bottomless abyss.

This is something Fang Zheng cannot accept.

And more importantly...

"You belong to me now, Miss Kuang San. You cannot ruin and waste your life without my permission."

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kuang San couldn't help but laugh.

"Really, Mr. Fang Zheng, if you were to say something sweeter, I might be conquered by you. But why do you have to say this at this time?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Facing Kuang San's dissatisfied accusations, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, but he could also see that since Kuang San was in the mood to joke, it meant that she had gradually recovered.

At the same time, Fang Zheng has also found his goal in this world.

This month's firewood list has been decided!
