A wolf-like monster suddenly emerged from the half-man-high bushes nearby. It had an extremely long and thin tail, and its green eyes stared at the three of them. It let out a long roar and spat out icy spikes.

Yuan Ting's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly jumped up, clenched his right fist, and stretched out his left hand. A long sword leaping with terrifying black thunder condensed and swung it at the alien beast: "Prepare to die!"

Zhi Ze and Cen Le hid far away.

Zhizawa shook his head: "He is enough alone, this guy's ability is really overbearing..."

Yuan Ting's ability is of thunder attribute, but it is also very special. It is thunder with the temperature of fire and corrosive damage. Among the superpowers of the five elements, his attack power is the best.

With this blow, the alien beast was split directly into two halves, deader than dead.

Yuan Ting landed handsomely, with a few hairs standing up on his head: "Why do I feel that this alien beast is a little weak..."

He cut open the alien's heart and exclaimed, "Huh? There's no alien core. Is it a primary alien?"

Zhize and Cen Le came to his side, "The leaves are gone, it's a waste, I'll try again."

There was a rustling sound from the trees ahead. Cen Le looked up alertly: "Anything else?"

The three of them are ready for the battle.

The next moment, a head popped out from the bushes. It was a boy who looked about their age, holding a kitten in his arms, a style that was totally out of place here.

He has a pair of beautiful, clean dark blue eyes, ugly little braids on both sides of his head, and dark red hair ends.

At this time, he looked a little wolfish, with a leaf hanging on his head, and his expression seemed a little embarrassed. The boy smiled at them and said sincerely: "Well... hello to you guys."

"I came to F City to look for someone. I was injured on the way. I just encountered a monster and hid myself. I didn't expect to meet you. Thank you for saving me."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "My name is Shi Deng, nice to meet you."

Yuan Ting was stunned for a second, then he unabashedly praised her: "You are more handsome than me. My name is Yuan Ting."

The handsome boy with gray eyes said, "My name is Shize."

The girl with a high ponytail, a cool expression and a cute face said, "My name is Cen Le, Le means music."

The time light flickered slightly.

This scene seemed to overlap infinitely with the time when they first met.

[Under the dim light of the setting sun.]

The boy holding the kitten looked at his old friend with a frown.

It's as if nothing has changed. 】

[It’s too obvious that Shizai wants to secretly join in, hahaha. With this perfunctory acting, after a few months, Yuan Daduan and the others will definitely not believe it.]

[Little Deng turned into a cat?! Poor kid, come here, Little Deng, come to auntie, let auntie pet the little cat.]

[I can't help it. It's obviously a good thing, right? Why do I suddenly want to cry? QAQ]

[#Figure#

I went to the "Youth Edition" and captured the scene when they just met. It was at the Tiangu training base. At that time, they went to report together and introduced themselves. They said the same few sentences. After traveling through time and returning to the present, it is still exactly the same, not a single word has changed. I burst into tears...]

['Nice to meet you, my name is Tokidō', 'You are more handsome than me, my name is Haratei', 'My name is Zhize', 'My name is Cen Le, Le means music' QAQ, the introduction was so ordinary at the beginning, but now it hurts my heart. ]

[Only this time of backtracking and resetting is very similar to the first time. Will the hair loss allow us to have a perfect dream? Please, my child really wants it qwq]

[Unknown medicine bottle warning! Knife warning!]

As night was about to fall, a few people made a fire under an old tree and set up a tent.

Zhize spread high-level alien bone meal around, and the smell it gave off could drive away most nocturnal aliens.

Shi Deng was sitting by the fire holding Xiao Deng, while Cen Le was preparing food.

not far away.

Haratei and Zhizawa huddled together and talked in a low voice.

Yuan Ting: "Are you sure that the leaf hanging on his head was the leaf you cast the prophecy on?"

Shize nodded.

Yuan Ting pondered for a long time and asked, "Is he related to us?"

Zhizawa: "Maybe there's something wrong with the prophecy. I'll try again."

Anyway, after today, there will be three more chances tomorrow.

Zhize picked up two leaves again and said, "I prophesy."

Leaf number one flew over and stuck to the back of the timepiece.

"I prophesy."

Leaf number two flew over and stuck to the back of the time lamp.

It's strange, the prophecy can't have the same result every time, this person must have something to do with them.

“…”

The two looked at each other silently.

Three minutes later.

Yuan Ting and Zhi Ze sat next to Shi Deng, one on each side. Yuan Ting smiled brightly: "Brother Shi Deng, where are you from? Where are you going? We have a great affinity."

Zhize thought to himself, what an idiot! I asked you to ask questions instead of telling you the truth.

Shi Deng dipped a cookie in some water and fed it to Xiao Deng: "I'm here to look for someone. I want to go to the temporary base for psychics built here."

Zhizawa: "It's dangerous here. Are you also a psychic?"

Tokito had already thought of what to say: "Auxiliary abilities can speed up or slow down a person, but the rest are not very useful."

"Auxiliary department, the same as Sister Le," Yuan Ting chattered away, almost revealing everything.

Cen Le is the main healer, but he can use three large-scale fields to enhance his own strength, weaken the enemy, and teleport within the field to carry out precise positioning and killing.

Not to mention that she majored in therapeutics in the auxiliary department, so she is very popular no matter where she is.

Zhizawa: "Who are you looking for? Can you tell me? We can help you."

Shi Deng: "My younger brother, about six or seven years old."

He pinched Xiao Deng's paw. If things really didn't work out, he could let Xiao Deng make a cameo appearance.

Cen Le frowned.

City F is a polluted area, with monsters rampant. Apart from the superpowers, most of the people there are mercenaries who work hard to make a living. For such a young child, it is estimated that...

Yuan Ting patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we will be friends from now on. I see that you are very friendly. After we arrive at the temporary base, we will help you find it!"

Cen Le changed the subject: "Eat something and go to sleep. We'll be on our way tomorrow."

Shi Deng nodded and went into the tent. Cen Le and the other two talked in whispers.

After Shi Deng entered the tent, Xiao Deng jumped out of his arms and picked up two leaves stuck on his back with his mouth.

Pinching the two leaves, the boy looked as if he had a headache.

"Shikezawa's prophecy..."

Although it doesn't have much effect now, after the upgrade, the prophecy will still have some impact on him.

When he upgraded to the great prophecy that could touch the future and destiny, if Zhizawa was willing, he could really see something in him that he didn't want them to know.

[Knock! Brother Shikezawa's prophecy. I remember that in the "Abyss" chapter, Brother Shikezawa upgraded to the Great Prophecy and almost skinned Shizai?]

[I remember that I was very excited for a long time and thought that things would finally turn around, but I didn’t expect that I still sent it in the end;)]

[It seems that Shizai still doesn’t plan to tell them this time. I’m so anxious.]

Abyss light.

deep underground.

The young man with deep blue eyes walked down the stairs, and Uncle Fu said at the door: "Brother Shi, be careful."

The young man nodded: "I know."

The steps were narrow and extended far down, with no end in sight. On both sides were lit with faint red candles that never went out all year round.

I don’t know how long I walked before I saw some light.

Below is a suspended, huge circular platform.

On the tall stone pillars all around, there were countless white chains engraved with strange patterns. At this moment, all of them stretched towards the middle, firmly locking a cloud of mist that was constantly emitting black air.

The moment the young man stepped onto the stage, a dark mist flashed and a mature man's voice rang out: "Where's the time light?"

Shi Ge said: "It has nothing to do with you."

Dark Mist: "It doesn't matter. You are also a Tokioka anyway."

It chuckled and said, "They are just a few people. If they die, they die. Those humans, humans without superpowers, are nothing more than ants. What is there to protect?"

"Look at your Uncle Fu, he was originally in his twenties and now he's an old man. If he resets again, he's going to die, right? Why would he pay such a high price to achieve something that was originally impossible?"

"Returning to the right future together is what you want, isn't it?"

The sound of the black mist became more and more seductive.

Shi Ge: "You talk a lot."

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The white chain suddenly tightened and the black mist suddenly shrank.

Shi Ge said calmly: "I just came to see if you are being dishonest and making so much trouble."

He turned and walked away.

Black Mist: "Time is not reversible, and the future will not change."

The young man's figure disappeared on the long stairs.

Black Mist murmured: "What I have been chasing has vanished into thin air. Shi Deng, will you collapse?"

A faint black light separated from his body, and the black mist suddenly weakened a lot.

At the same time, the separated black light quickly left this place and disappeared without a trace.

On the second day, Shikezawa used the prophecy again.

This time the leaf did not fly onto the hour lamp, but flew eastward.

The three of them originally thought that the time light could not keep up with their speed, but when they looked back, they saw that the time light was following them not too far away. At this distance, it was definitely not lost, so they felt relieved and continued to move forward.

There are 12 levels of psychics, 1-3 are elementary level, 4-6 are intermediate level, 7-9 are advanced level, and 10-12 are special level psychics.

The level of the mutants is the same as that of the mutants. The energy crystals in their hearts are called mutant cores, which can be used to upgrade the mutants. Of course, in the contaminated area, the mutant cores are more important than paper money among the mutants.

The special-level alien beasts in City F have been cleared out, and most of the remaining ones are mid-level alien beasts, as well as some primary alien beasts and a small number of high-level alien beasts.

Currently, Yuan Ting and Zhi Ze are at level 4, and Cen Le is at level 5. They are all mid-level esper, and if they join forces, they can deal with high-level esper of around level 7. It is enough for them to survive in the temporary base.

The temporary base is a mixed bag, and the people from Tiangu are only playing a management role. After all, everyone is here to kill alien beasts. Although their purposes are different, many things can be ignored.

The lobby of the temporary base is located in the east of City F, and there are personnel in the lobby who are specifically responsible for registration.

There were all kinds of people, mercenaries, ordinary people, freelancers, and many people wearing cloaks. Some were trading monster cores, while others left in a hurry after completing their missions.

Perhaps because they looked too young, when Shi Deng and his three companions arrived here, they attracted a lot of secret glances at them.

Zhize walked to the front of the stage and said, "Hello, we are renting a house for four people to live in."

The residential houses around the base have long been deserted by ordinary people and are now vacant for rent by people who hunt exotic beasts.

The front desk checked and quickly said, "There are two houses left. One is on the edge and is more dangerous, and the other is in the inner circle and is relatively safe. The former is cheaper and requires 15 intermediate beast cores every half month, while the latter requires 40 intermediate beast cores every week."

Yuan Ting was stunned: "Can't we use paper money..."

In the corner of the hall, there was a man with a knife on his back. He sneered and muttered, "Where did this little brat come from..."

Shi Deng glanced in that person's direction calmly.

The man with the knife on his back shuddered for no apparent reason.

Shi Deng withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and stood behind Zhizawa and the others, gently stroking the cat with his pale fingertips.

The receptionist saw their expressions and understood, and continued, "We have a humane rental system here. If you can hunt enough monster cores within three days, you can temporarily use the room. You have to pay the rent within three days."

Cen Le: "What if we can't catch it?"

The receptionist pointed to a small sign next to it that read:

[Penalty for late delivery:

1. Keep an eye on the defaulters.

2. Find someone to redeem it, and pay ten times the penalty.]

"There are only these two options, both of which are voluntary transactions. Have you thought about it?"

Yuan Ting quietly hid behind Zhi Ze and Cen Le: "...Then can we choose not to stay?"

In fact, they couldn't seem to afford either the big house or the cheap tent area outside, because Chi didn't mention it to them at all. Only the Alien Core could speak here.

Front desk: "Sorry, please leave the temporary base."

Three people: "..."

Where is the humanization?

Zhize gritted his teeth: "We rent——"

"Hey, hey, get out of the way!" A pair of big hands pushed them apart.

Shi Deng's eyes darkened, and he suddenly remembered his current character of "weak and inexperienced". He just endured it, and his thin body staggered when being pulled. Xiao Deng's hair stood on end, and he let out a howl.

Yuan Ting quickly supported him and glared at the newcomer: "What are you doing?!"

There were six people in the group, all of them were tall and strong. The middle one was a fat man in his twenties or thirties dressed in fancy clothes. He laughed when he heard the words and said, "Who hasn't heard of Master Li's name? My brother is here to rent a house, so what's the point of you guys always being here? We want both houses."

Zhize and Cen Le also stepped forward and stood in front of Shideng. Zhize said politely, "We didn't say we don't rent it. Let's follow a first come, first served basis."

Shi Deng was blocked by them. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes slightly narrowed.

Bang!

Mr. Li placed a small black bag on the table and shook it, revealing dozens of intermediate-level alien cores. "Pay now."

Yuan Ting pointed to the sign next to him and said, "We've already said we want to rent it. Which rule says first pay, first serve?"

The receptionist said awkwardly: "This..."

After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Master Li and asked, "Do you want both sets?"

Mr. Li picked his teeth and spat out the chive leaves stuck between his teeth at the foot of Yuanting.

"You bastard..." Yuan Ting was so angry that he almost fainted. Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves, someone gently pressed his shoulder.

He thought it was Zhi Ze, and turned his head quickly: "Don't bother...? Time light?"

"Wait a minute, I have an alien core."

The time lamp caught everyone's attention and slowly walked to the front of the stage.

Front desk: "Two people are competing for the rental house at the same time, the one with the higher bid wins."

Master Li was very impatient, frowned, and said fiercely: "Go away and stop making trouble."

It's not his fault that he's fierce, because at first glance, Tokido's appearance doesn't seem very aggressive. He's wearing a loose, light beige long coat that reaches his thighs, and his deep blue eyes are calm and clear.

She had a handmade bunny bag tied around her waist and a kitten in her arms.

This combination looks harmless no matter how you look at it.

Yuan Ting gently pulled him and said, "Hey..."

Shi Deng gave Xiao Deng to Yuan Ting and motioned him to hold the kitten. As soon as he felt the soft touch of the kitten, Yuan Ting didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting the kitten.

Xiao Deng silently rolled her eyes at this idiot.

The receptionist said, "According to the bidding rules, if your final bid is lower than Mr. Li's, not only will you not get the house, but half of your bid will go to the base and the other half will go to Mr. Li."

No one knows who made the various regulations of the temporary base, and it seems that they are just for fun.

Shi Deng: "Then I am taller than him."

Front desk: "Of course it's the same principle."
