Chapter 237: Forced Seizure

The white light of hope released by Chu Xihen not only shattered the despair that permeated the world, but also pushed Xiao Chou into the time gap, resonating with the white stone in the gap that had been freed of the black despair by Xiao Chou.

Little Chou was being sucked into the stone bit by bit.

"Asshole, how can you control the stone? You even contaminated my Stone of Despair. Let me go, I don't want to go in, I want to go out and kill you, kill you all!"

No matter how much Xiao Chou cursed, the white stone was like a monster to it, swallowing it from head to toe into the stone egg.

As less and less of Xiao Chou's body was exposed, the gap in time was closing.

After Bai Jinli received the captain's call, he immediately clicked cancel. This was the secret signal he and Gao Lin agreed on.

"Lousu, did Gao Lin summon you with the Captain Card? Go out before the rift is completely closed." Bai Jinli suddenly spoke.

The little chou's two legs had been stuffed into the stone egg. Now it was swallowed by the stone and could do nothing but curse at it.

Bai Jinli knew that Xiao Chou was completely sealed in the stone egg, and the crack connecting the time gap to reality would also be closed, so the captain card in his hand would be useless.

"What did you say?" Lou Su even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "You should get out quickly. Why does Gao Lin keep pulling me? Why doesn't he pull you out?"

"I asked him to pull you. I told him before that he will keep pulling you as long as you don't go out. Don't waste time. Hurry up and get out." Bai Jinli advised.

Lou Su looked at Bai Jinli and suddenly realized something, and then he found that he was missing two special skills.

[Time Rewind] and [Time Freeze] are gone.

He looked at Bai Jinli in shock, "What did you do to me? You took away my skills?"

Bai Jinli smiled, "Didn't you ask me before what skill I got in the last dungeon? Now I can tell you, the skill is called [Forced Stripping], which can permanently strip a person of a skill. Now [Time Freeze] is here with me, there is no need for you to stay here, get out quickly, the rift is about to close!"

Xiao Chou has already been half-filled with the stone egg.

It cursed at the two people in the time gap: "Do you think you can kill me like this? Impossible, I am immortal. As long as this world is not destroyed and as long as there are humans alive, I can achieve despair. When the despair is enough, I can come out again. Next time, I will kill hope first!"

After hearing what Xiao Chou said, Bai Jinli said, "The situation down there must be very bad. You should go out and take a look!"

Lou Su looked very unhappy. "Why did you take my skills? Don't you ask before taking someone else's things?"

"I asked, and you were unconscious at the time, so I took it as your consent," said Bai Jinli.

Lou Su opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Jinli, "The skill is in you, and the one who stays here is you, but you can't freeze yourself in this space, so your mental power will be exhausted. If Chu Xihen and the others don't come up with a solution in a few days, you won't be able to restrict Xiao Chou."

"Then you can do it? Won't it be the same as me after you use your skills?" Lou Su asked back.

Bai Jinli shook his head, "It's different. Although I have taken away your skills, they do not belong to me. I only have the right to use them, but I cannot be immune to the damage caused by your skills. Therefore, no one is more suitable to stay here than me."

"Lousu, what are you trying to do by dawdling? Someone has to stay here anyway, so why can it be you and not me?"

Lou Su doesn’t think it’s a question of who stays here, but rather that the skills originally belong to him, so he should be the one who stays here.

But faced with Bai Jinli's questioning, he was speechless.

Bai Jinli continued, "I'm tired of this kind of life controlled by the plot, it's quite boring. I'll stay here, and you can help me look after my two teammates after you go out. Let's go, or you'll never see Chu Xihen again!"

Xiao Chou interrupted at this time and said, "He can't see me now. There is no hope in this broken world. He beat me back and used up all his strength. I can get out of this egg ten or a hundred times, but he can't!"

"Did you hear that? You were unconscious just now and didn't know it, but I saw us being corroded by despair and turned into bones. We were obviously dead, but we were revived by the white light that just rushed up. Do you think that Chu Xihen used such a great power and it would have no effect on him? Lou Su, he needs you to go down and help him." Bai Jinli's tone was always calm.

This was something he had discussed with Gao Lin a long time ago. Although there were some unexpected events during the process, the final result was pretty much what he expected.

"Tell me your skills again, word for word!" Lou Su only now realized that Bai Jinli was too cunning, and he was afraid of being deceived again.

Bai Jinli seemed to have expected him to ask this question. "Skill name: [Strong Stripping]: Permanently strips any skill on the field, but things that are snatched are not always convenient. You only have the right to use it, and you are not immune to the damage caused by the skill."

This is the same as what Bai Jinli said. If he uses [Time Freeze], he will also be frozen in this time gap. But if Lou Su himself uses it, he will not be frozen, and his mental strength will be exhausted as the time he uses the skill increases.

But he had no water or food, and the mental recovery potion Xie Ling had prepared for him was also destroyed. He would not survive for more than a few days if he stayed here.

Once he dies here, no one will restrict Xiao Chou anymore.

It is right. As long as there are people in this world, there will be despair. Sooner or later, it will come out again to harm the world.

"Bai Jinli, thank you." After listening to Bai Jinli's skill description, Lou Su could only say this.

Bai Jinli was right. The limitation of [Forced Deprivation] actually made up for their shortcoming of not being able to use [Time Freeze] for a long time in the gaps in time.

But Bai Jinli couldn't get out.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. To be honest, ever since I found out that the filter I had for you was forced upon me by the plot, I've been feeling upset whenever I see you. When I think that I won't have to see you again in the future, I can't tell you how happy I am." Bai Jinli said bluntly.

"I know, but I want to thank you on behalf of everyone below and Xihen." Lou Su stood up and bowed to Bai Jinli.

Bai Jinli was amused by his action, "Then go back and build a tomb for me, and come to the tomb every Qingming Festival to show your filial piety."

Lou Su also smiled at him, "Bai Jinli, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Lou Su, I hope we will no longer be controlled by the plot." Bai Jinli said.

"You've done it." After Lou Su finished speaking, he saw that only Xiao Chou's head was outside the stone and the crack was about to close. He did not hesitate any more, accepted the call of Captain Ka, and left the time gap.
