Chapter 218 Don’t come over here!
"Dr. Tong! It's bad. The black stone suddenly cracked and the embryo is about to come out!" An anxious voice sounded.
When Chu Xihen looked in the direction of the voice, he found that his line of sight was very low and he could only see the waist of a researcher in a white coat.
What does that mean? He's shorter?
And isn’t Dr. Tong the PhD who was in charge of him when he was in graduate school?
"Did it crack by itself? Let's go up and take a look!" After Dr. Tong finished speaking, he left with the researcher who came to deliver the message. Chu Xihen saw two white figures with their backs and couldn't raise his eyes.
He seemed to be fixed in one place and couldn't move.
He turned his eyes again and saw a baby lying next to him. Looking closely at the face, he recognized that it was himself as a baby!
Chu Xihen felt a little horrified. He could see his own face, so what was he now?
Seeing his own sleeping little face, he felt so cute that he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it. He thought he would fail, but unexpectedly he stretched out a transparent hand like a petal and gently touched the baby's face.
Petals? So I turned into a little night-blooming cereus?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Dr. Tong and the researchers came back.
"The cracks in the black stone are getting bigger and bigger. Let's take this white stone and try to repair it." As Dr. Tong's voice rang out, his figure gradually approached Chu Xihen, and then his gaze turned, and he was held in Dr. Tong's hand.
He did not turn into a small night-blooming cereus, but into the white stone that gave birth to him!
As for why petals appeared when he reached out to touch the baby just now, it was probably because he had some misunderstanding about the identity of the little night-blooming cereus.
He thought that the Epiphyllum was a mutated Epiphyllum that had attached itself to the stone. Now it seems that the Epiphyllum itself has an intricate relationship with the white stone, or it can be said that the Epiphyllum is part of the Stone of Hope.
Dr. Tong took the white stone to the minus tenth floor and entered a room whose walls were full of various tubes. With Chu Xihen's limited vision, he could also see that those tubes were transporting despair.
"Dr. Tong? How do we repair this? This white stone is larger than the crack. Does it need to be polished?" the researcher asked at first.
"Well, I'll compare the general shapes first, then make a rubbing of the cracks and grind the white stone into the shape of the gaps to fill them up." Dr. Tong said as he lifted the white stone and stuck it to the black stone.
The moment the two stones touched, Chu Xihen felt two forces pulling at each other, one was trying to drill into the black stone and fill the crack on the black stone, and the other was trying to distance himself from the black stone.
"Hiss! It's so hot!" Dr. Tong was suddenly burned by the white stone. He took back his hand holding the stone, but the white stone stayed in the air and did not fall.
Chu Xihen saw the black stone wrapped in despair, and the embryo in the middle of the stone, which would be the future Xiao Chou.
He heard the embryo making childish sounds.
"Get out of here! Don't come over here!"
"Let me out, I'm suffocating, let me out quickly!"
"Damn you bugs, let me out! I don't want to be in this polluted rock of despair!"
Chu Xihen saw that a part of the white stone was separated and automatically filled the crack on the black stone. When the crack disappeared, the angry and defeated voice also disappeared.
He also saw that after the white stone was filled in the crack, it suddenly turned into the same color as the black stone, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was filled in.
The remaining small piece of white stone fell to the ground and was hidden in the black tube, blocking Chu Xihen's vision.
Dr. Tong and the researchers only saw the repaired black stone and did not notice that a small part of the white stone had fallen to the ground.
As the two cheered excitedly, Chu Xihen's consciousness gradually withdrew from the white stone.

On the other side, Lou Su did enter the time gap. This time he went directly into the space where Xiao Chou was, and was right in front of Xiao Chou.
But Xiao Chou seemed not to see him. He stared at the screen behind him and kept muttering "despair, despair".
It looks like he has some serious illness.
Lou Su didn't see Chu Xihen. He thought that time was frozen and he couldn't bring anyone else in. When he was about to turn around to look at the screen, suddenly a strong suction force sucked him to Xiao Chou's side.
He thought Xiao Chou had discovered him, so he raised his hand and swung out several wind blades in succession, but his supernatural power was blocked by the stone bubbles on his body, and the wind blades could not fly out at all.
After the panic, he quickly realized that even though he was in front of Xiao Chou, Xiao Chou still didn't see him!
Is it because he is in the stone bubble that Xiao Chou can't see him?
He put his hand on the black stone under Xiao Chou, trying to get away from it.
But the stone bubble was completely stuck to the black stone, and he also found that the internal space of the bubble was shrinking, while the broken part of Xiao Chou's black stone was slowly recovering!
"Huh? What's going on with this broken stone?" Xiao Chou quickly discovered what was wrong. It had finally crawled halfway out of the stone egg, and it remembered every detail of its body that was exposed.
Now this stone, which has been motionless for many years, seems to have started to grow again?
The area below its arms was soon submerged in black stones to a depth of nearly one centimeter, which made it panic. It quickly stretched out its hands and sucked a large amount of despair from the picture in front of it and poured it over itself.
After despair merged into its body, the one centimeter that the black stone had grown disappeared again.
However, it didn't know that in front of it, Lou Su was almost suffocating because of the stone bubbles.
The stone bubbles seemed to regard him as part of the stone and wanted to squeeze him to fill the gaps in the black stone.
The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger, and Lou Su's face had been squeezed into the color of liver.
He used up his last bit of strength to think about it. He couldn't use offensive abilities in the stone bubble, so he should be able to use [Time Rewind] on himself, right?
The next moment he found that he could breathe freely. He could use time to go back in the stone bubble, but he could only go back to the time when he just appeared in the time gap. He could not go back to the Superpower Bureau.
With his current ability level, he can go back more than ten hours, but now it is not a matter of time. Instead, he is in this space and can only go back to the time here.
But as soon as he turned back, he was sucked over by the black stone again, repeating what had just happened.
This made Xiao Chou confused. Lou Su was just retracing his own state, but Xiao Chou had already used Despair for the second time to resist the sudden growth of black stone.
"How could this happen? Could it be that... the time thief is going back in time?!" Xiao Chou was very angry.
It raised its hand and waved it towards the screen that showed the image. "I want to see what these bugs are doing!"
Lou Su turned his head and looked at the screen following its movement, and saw a bunch of snow monsters running in the snow, wreaking havoc in despair. It was a completely devastating scene.
Xiao Chou yelled, "Damn it! That guy wasn't injured, and I couldn't see him hiding in the house!"
