Thinking of this, the giant rat's anger surged, and it couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
Lin Mo listened from the side and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Actually, it wasn't that those time-traveling predecessors deliberately tricked you.
It's because you yourself are weak and can only merge with this monstrous body.
"Then what happened next? Why were you wandering around this place?" Lin Mo pressed.
A flash of anger appeared in the giant rat's eyes, and it said through gritted teeth, "Those shameless bastards... how dare they imprison my soul in this monster's body! How can I let this go? However, the difference in strength is too great, and I am no match for them."
Seeing that I was still somewhat useful, they placed a seal on me, imprisoning me in this awful place, unable to leave!
The giant rat's words were filled with anger and helplessness, as if every word contained endless resentment.
Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Lin Mo's mind: door gods?
A failed modification, those guys, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, made the most of it by adding a seal to guard it.
This disgusting giant rat, though repulsive in appearance, is surprisingly strong. With it guarding the gate, everything is absolutely safe!
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The giant rat cursed a few more times, clearly still not calmed down. "Alright, my story is over. Now it's your turn! Where did you come from? The system in your body, it shouldn't have been created by those scumbags, right?"
"I am the Regent of the Great Xia Dynasty!" Lin Mo said. "I was fortunate enough to meet Zhao Wushi, and I discovered the despicable acts of these scoundrels and started a rebellion! Later, in order to stop me, these scoundrels shamelessly sent their henchmen to capture me and bring me to this godforsaken place!"
The system within my body was a completely new version created with Zhao Wushi's help!
It is not under the control of those scum!
The giant rat thought for a few seconds, then asked, "How long have you been trapped in this godforsaken place?"
Lin Mo did the math and replied, "It should take a month or two!"
"One or two months..." the giant rat sighed again, "Well, you might want to be prepared!"
"Huh?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled. "What do you mean!"
“Back on Earth, did you ever hear any myths?” the giant rat said. “They say, ‘A few months in the cave is like a thousand years in the world!’”
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was completely stunned. "Holy shit!"
The giant rat's words come from the article "Zhi Lin" written by Yu Xi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It tells the story of a woodcutter named Wang Zhi who went up the mountain to chop wood in the mid-Jin period. He met two children playing Go and watched them. When he returned home, he found that more than 800 years had passed since he went up the mountain.
"So, several hundred years have passed in the mortal realm now?" Lin Mo asked uneasily.
If that's really the case, why the hell would I go back?
Hundreds of years have passed. Sun Ruoxi, Su Qing'er, Huo Churan...
And my men, I'm afraid they're all gone, not even bones left!
The giant rat glanced at him and said slowly, "Several hundred years? That's a bit of an exaggeration."
However, its voice revealed an indescribable heaviness: "But it must be said that the flow of time in this mysterious place is indeed very different from that in the mortal world, much slower."
"Can you be more explicit? How much slower is it exactly?" Lin Mo's tone revealed a hint of urgency and impatience.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer this question for you." The giant rat's tone revealed a hint of helplessness and regret. "I've probably been trapped inside this monster's body for hundreds of years."
Since then, I haven't left this hellish place. All I know is that time here moves much slower than in the mortal realm, but I can't calculate exactly how much slower.
However, one thing is certain: it's not that many centuries ago!
These words made Lin Mo even more flustered.
Is it one year? Or three years? Or ten years? Or how many more decades will I live?
It's still manageable within the next three years, but if it exceeds twenty years, it's not much different from a hundred years!
"You still want to go back to the mortal realm?" The giant rat seemed to have seen through Lin Mo's thoughts.
“Yes!” Lin Mo said, “I was forced to come to this godforsaken place. In Great Xia, I still have a wife and young children…”
"Hehe, then you'd better step up your game!" the giant rat laughed. "Time is no friend! Otherwise, by the time you finish your business, your wife and children will already be old and gray!"
"Time..." Lin Mo's heart tightened. "Thank you for reminding me!"
