Chapter 224 Very Contradictory
It's a pity that Lou Su can't use time reversal now, because he used this skill on Chu Xihen. Now the world is in his time reversal state, so it will be ineffective no matter who he uses it on.
Moreover, even if time were to go back and force Xiao Chou back into the stone egg, as time passed and the end of the world came, human despair would still wake Xiao Chou up.
Xiao Chou is not a human being, and he cannot empathize with humans. He simply wants to create endless despair, because humans are the source of all his despair, so he wants to kill all humans. It is just that simple.
They couldn't reason with the clown, and they couldn't influence it. If they couldn't kill it, they could only do the next best thing, stuff it back into the stone egg, and then solidify the gap in time. Despair couldn't enter the stone egg, so it would never come out.
"But I think using [Time Freeze] won't work. We have to find a new way."
Chu Xihen washed his face and came out of the bathroom, then changed floors and went back in.
"Why doesn't it work?" Lou Su thought Chu Xihen said this because he didn't want him to take the risk.
Chu Xihen saw through his thoughts at a glance, "We agreed yesterday that I will not stop you from doing this because of our feelings. Let's put aside the fact that you cannot bring other people into the time rift. Even if Xichen and I follow you into the time rift, once you use [Time Freeze], it will freeze me and her as well. We can't give you any support."
The most crucial thing is that now that Xiao Chou has taken back the copy mall, Lou Su will be trapped in the time gap. Even if he doesn't die from mental exhaustion, he will be starved to death.
"Yes, all the problems you mentioned exist, but you can't deny that [Time Freeze] is indeed useful, right? Then with so many of us and so many brains, we can definitely make a relatively perfect plan around this skill of mine." Lou Su still insisted on his own idea.
Chu Xihen sighed, "I really regret giving you this skill. If I had known earlier, I would have learned it myself."
If he had learned [Time Freeze], then all they needed to think about now was how to send him to the time gap. Since he was not a human, at least he would not starve to death.
"My dear, there's no time to regret this." After washing up, Lou Su pushed Chu Xihen out of the room.
There was breakfast on the living room table, but no one was eating.
Chu Xihen's mind was in a mess, and he finished his breakfast without any appetite. Lou Su asked him, "Do you want to go out and take a look? Or do you want to go back to your room and rest?"
"Let's go out and get some fresh air!" Chu Xihen stood up. He needed to wake up now.
All the superpowers now know that they cannot attack the yeti's head. After a night of fighting, a circle of yeti's heads surrounded the Superpower Bureau.
"This scene looks like some kind of mysterious ritual is going on." The two stood on the high wall and looked down, and suddenly felt a sense of weirdness.
Chu Xihen spread out his hands and summoned back the white stone and the little Epiphyllum that had followed Chu Xichen to some unknown place.
He took the small Epiphyllum down, threw it into Lousuo's hand, and then leapt down from the high wall.
"Wait a minute!" Lou Su grabbed Chu Xihen's arm and hurriedly stopped him. "You are using the stone to absorb despair, not your own body, right?"
The scene of Chu Xihen vomiting blood during the time gap is still vivid in Lou Su's mind, and he doesn't want Chu Xihen to do that again.
"No, my body repels despair and cannot absorb it anymore." Chu Xihen explained to him, "Last time it was an emergency, and I didn't know much about the use of the Stone of Hope, so I was so reckless."
Hearing him say this, Lou Su felt relieved.
Chu Xihen jumped off the high wall, covered the snow monster with a stone bubble handle, and then used his supernatural power to eliminate all the snow monsters surrounding the Supernatural Bureau. Finally, his pure white stone the size of a ping-pong ball turned pure black.
The little Epiphyllum began to dislike the stones again.
"What's the relationship between it and your white stone? Logically, it should like the stone itself, not the color of the stone, right?" Lou Su asked curiously when he saw that the little Epiphyllum no longer touched the black stone.
Chu Xihen shook his head. "I don't know either. When you entered the time gap yesterday, my consciousness turned into a white stone and returned to the research institute. At that time, the little Epiphyllum seemed to be inside the stone."
It was after he heard Xiao Chou, who was still an embryo, say that his Stone of Despair was contaminated that he thought of the Stone of Hope as being able to absorb the despair created by Xiao Chou.
In other words, the Stone of Despair can be contaminated by his hope, and similarly, the Stone of Hope can also be contaminated by despair.
The difference is that Xiao Chou's Stone of Despair is contaminated by Hope, so he can control it; the Stone of Hope is contaminated by Despair, so he can also control it.
Thinking of this, Chu Xihen suddenly grabbed the Epiphyllum off his head. He forced the Epiphyllum onto the blackened stone and even held it down to prevent it from escaping.
Lou Su felt a little bit of pity when he saw the little Epiphyllum struggling desperately like a live octopus being pressed on an iron plate to make teppanyaki.
"Xihen, if you have something to say, just talk nicely. Don't take it out on the child!" When Lou Su was about to rescue little Epiphyllum, Chu Xihen let go of his hand.
I saw a petal of the small Epiphyllum being sucked into the black stone. The small Epiphyllum struggled to run away, but couldn't. It broke off the petal without hesitation and flew into Lou Su's arms.
If it could shed tears, it would be crying right now.
"Did you see it?" Chu Xihen asked Lou Su.
While caressing the little Epiphyllum, Lou Su replied to Chu Xihen, "I saw it. It was sucked by the black stone, just like Xiao Chou was sucked by the stone."
He paused and looked at Chu Xihen in disbelief, "So it is hope?"
Lou Su held the small Epiphyllum in his palm and raised it between the two of them.
"Then what am I?" Chu Xihen asked.
Lou Su was confused by the question.
The little Epiphyllum is just afraid of the black stone, but that doesn’t mean it is hope. It can only be said that it has an inseparable relationship with Chu Xihen.
"Okay, I was wrong. I just wanted to test how you would react when you touched the black stone. I won't treat you like this in the future, okay?" Chu Xihen apologized to the little Epiphyllum and reached out to touch it.
As a result, little Epiphyllum was really angry this time. He grabbed Lou Su's hand, climbed all the way to the top of Lou Su's head, and lay on his forehead. He looked so aggrieved.
Chu Xihen stared at the little Epiphyllum in confusion, "How come it accepted you so easily?"
"Is it easy? Didn't you give me a big cunt when we first met?" Lou Su touched the little Epiphyllum, "It must have been scared by you just now, just like a child, when the mother is angry, it will look for the father, it's normal..."
"What the hell, you're the one!" Chu Xihen said and turned around and went into the house.
Lou Su followed with a smile, and suddenly asked Chu Xihen a question, "What do you think Xiao Chou is doing now? Even if the dungeon is not open yet, it can still attack humans directly. Before, it was because it was not desperate enough, but in the past few days, it has released snow monsters everywhere, so it should have accumulated a lot of despair, right?"
What he meant was that Xiao Chou could have easily taken advantage of the moment when humans weren't paying attention to give them another slap, but he chose to hide in the gap of time, either waiting for the aliens to kill them or dragging them into the dungeon.
It seems that it cannot kill people directly, but it slapped Base 117 last time, which makes the whole thing seem contradictory.
