One underground level.
"…Is there anything we can discuss?"
Ye Fei was flexible and managed a smile: "It's just a matter of changing the order of tasks. There will definitely be no problem with this. Don't get excited."
It was a pity that yesterday, he thought the boy was like a little white rabbit that had strayed into a pack of wolves, and after a long while, he turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Shi Deng's breath was not stable, and the little white cat patted him with its paw more and more frequently.
After hearing that for a long time, Shi Deng turned his fingers and took the poker back into his palm, "I've signed this agreement. I will stay here for a long time. Don't play tricks on me..."
Ye Fei immediately felt that his body could move.
"Stand, stand, stand! You must stand!"
He shouted at his men, "Go get some paper, what are you standing there for?!"
"Ahhh!" Several men hurriedly prepared paper and pen.
Ye Fei quickly wrote it down according to Shi Deng's request and handed it to him: "This is the document."
Damn, what happened to him recently? His luck is so bad, and everyone he meets is abnormal. Could this little brat be a big boss in disguise?
After just a simple fight, he realized that this little brat was much stronger than him.
Just write it. He has been in the position of person in charge for so long and is still alive today. He must have developed the moral integrity to be able to adapt to circumstances.
The time light has not been answered for a long time.
The hand holding the poker cards was stained with blood. The boy's long eyelashes drooped as he stared at the bloodstains winding along his fingertips in a daze.
The blood dripped into the wood dust on the ground and was instantly covered up.
As soon as he let go, the poker cards fell to the ground.
When Ye Fei was feeling anxious, the boy looked up at the paper and said, "Sign."
Ye Fei smiled awkwardly, signed his name, folded it considerately, and placed it on the boy's bloodless left palm.
He put the clock light away and put it in his pocket, then stood up and wanted to leave.
There was a commotion outside, and soon there were sounds of fighting and bodyguards saying, "You really can't go in. The person in charge is discussing something with someone inside!"
"Then why didn't anyone go in to pass the message? You were the first ones to start the fight. Let us find someone. If you are not evil, can you stop us like this?" It was actually Cen Le's voice.
"Don't waste your words on them. What's wrong with the person in charge? Who knows if he had been eyeing my brother's things in the lobby before?!" Yuan Ting said angrily.
In fact, they went around here for a long time before they found it, thanks to Zhize's prophecy. He predicted three times in a row, and all three leaves pointed in the same direction.
Apart from Shi Deng, they had never seen anyone else who could make Ye Zi so obsessed.
There was a banging of the door and a noise so close that Shi Deng froze in his tracks.
Ye Fei: "It seems your friend is here."
The lights slowly turned back.
His expression was calm, and under the warm yellow light, he looked like a cold shadow that did not exist in this dimension.
He looked at Ye Fei.
"Help me."
…
There was a lot of noise outside until an impatient voice came from inside: "Let them all in."
When Yuan Ting and the other two were let in, they still had the aura of looking for trouble. Looking around, they saw the time lamp that they could not see:
The boy sat on the soft sofa with his coat off. Ye Fei was bandaging his injured arm.
He heard the movement and looked up in surprise: "You guys?"
Yuan Ting immediately came over nervously: "Shi Deng, what happened to you? Are you injured?"
Zhize looked around and noticed the wood powder on the ground. It was supposed to be a table, which must have been shattered by someone's supernatural power.
But Shi Deng was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Shi Deng, we found you weren't at home when we got back, and we thought someone had kidnapped you."
After all, he had shown off his wealth in front of so many people in the hall.
I didn't expect it to be the person in charge.
Shi Deng smiled as if he was embarrassed: "I am sorry to bother you. I came out to buy some things and met someone who wanted to arrest me on the way. Fortunately, the helpful person in charge helped me. He was still very angry and smashed the table with one palm."
He pointed to the powder on the ground.
Wild·Forced·Helpful·Non, watched Shi Deng change from a blood-drinking wolf to a weak and innocent little sheep in an instant, suppressed the distortion of his face, and smiled at Yuan Ting and the other two, "Well, I'm the person in charge of the base. When I see your friends in danger, of course I have to help."
As if he thought this was too fake, he added jokingly, "Besides, if I don't help, the 'elders' behind Shi Deng probably won't let me go either."
After hearing this, the vague sense of violation in Zhize's heart gradually dissipated, and he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Manager, we forced our way in here. We will compensate for the damage with the Monster Cores."
They have hunted a lot of alien cores today, so compensation should be no problem.
Cen Le walked to Shi Deng's side, his eyes under the glasses were particularly focused: "What's the injury? Let me see."
Shi Deng stretched out his arm, "Sister Le, it's been bandaged. It's just a minor scratch."
Sister Le looks young just like before, but she is more reliable than Zhize and Yuan Ting.
There was a bandage wrapped around the boy's thin arm, and a hint of red could be vaguely seen.
Cen Le thought the red color looked unsightly, so she condensed a bright white light from her fingertips and illuminated the band of the clock light.
Ye Fei uttered an "ah" and said, "Healed? That's really rare."
The blood on the bandage stopped spreading visibly. Cen Le said, "I'm not at the level yet to completely heal the wound. I've stopped the bleeding. Be careful not to touch water for the next two days."
Shi Deng: "Sister Le, you are amazing."
Ye Fei: “…”
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He quickly looked away and said to Zhize, "No need to compensate. I also did something wrong. Well, now that everything is fine, you can leave quickly, take the person back, and have a good rest for two days."
"This kind of thing will never happen again."
Shi Deng stood up and joined Yuan Ting and the other two.
Yuan Ting seemed to be still very angry. "Would you mind telling us who bullied Shi Deng? I want to vent my anger."
He pointed at Shi Deng's arm: "My brother..."
With a casual glance, he saw the faint bloodstain on Shi Deng's palm. Yuan Ting's voice suddenly became higher and he pulled Shi Deng's hand: "What's going on?!"
The boy's palm was exposed to everyone.
There were marks on it from being tied with ropes for a long time. Yuan Ting took a deep breath and said, "Which bastard did this?!"
Shi Deng smiled awkwardly and retracted his hand uncomfortably.
Cen Le frowned and walked forward, holding his other hand and spreading it out.
The two originally clean palms now had purple marks on them that looked a bit scary.
Like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, Shi Deng silently took a half step back, and then his wrist was gripped even tighter.
Yuan Ting burst out with passion and loyalty to his friends, saying, "Why retreat? Is there anyone bullying you? Don't be afraid, tell us!"
Zhize looked at Yefei.
Ye Fei: "This has nothing to do with me...those people who wanted to rob. He already had it when I rescued your friend."
Yuan Ting: "How is that possible? Could it be that he did it himself?"
"That," Shi Deng hesitated and pointed to two flying wings in a big red bag in the corner, "is..."
He really did it himself.
Carrying a bag of heavy flying wings.
Everyone looked towards the corner.
Zhize walked over, took it, looked at it, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the flying shark fin that Yuanting wanted to eat?"
Shi Deng explained: "...Yes, I was originally out to buy something, and it was too heavy, so I got strangled while carrying it."
Yuan Ting was silent for a while, then he sniffed and suddenly grabbed Shi Deng and cried, "Since I was born, no one has been so kind to me except my mom and my sister. I am so touched. From now on, you are my real brother. If anyone messes with you, I will be angry..."
Shi Deng was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe. Xiao Deng was already furious and jumped into Cen Le's arms.
Zhize said, "Let's go back. I'll make some flying wings for you to eat."
Cen Le pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm in for a treat."
The four of them were in a harmonious atmosphere.
After they had been gone for a long time, Ye Fei touched his chin and thought to himself: He really couldn't understand how today's kids operate.
He had clearly changed the order of the tasks of those people, replacing them with more dangerous beasts, but he also bought them flying wings, and he held them until his hands turned purple and refused to let go.
Really...
That's strange.
Ye Fei glanced at his men who had witnessed everything and warned them, "Do you know what to say and what not to say? If even one word of what happened today gets out, you won't see the sun tomorrow."
That night, Shi Deng and his friends had a delicious meal of flying shark fins.
After finishing his meal, Shi Deng immediately went back to his room and took his medicine.
The boy drank the liquid in a hurry. He choked and started coughing. The veins on the back of his hand, which was resting on the table, were bulging and looked fragile.
There was not even a light on in the room, and the moonlight was shining on the ground.
Xiao Deng transformed into a human form and patted him on the back.
"Time light..."
The boy sat down, leaned on the table, rested his chin on the back of his hand, and looked out the window at the looming mountains and the waning moon.
Xiao Deng watched for a while, then quietly stood on tiptoe and hugged the boy's waist, and gently put her soft little face against him: "Don't be afraid..."

There is a post floating on the comic forum of "Time Paradox".
#Analysis: What disease did Shizai have during this reset? #
It was night time, the comic had just been updated, and it was a busy time, with many people discussing and replying.
[OP: Everyone has seen today's updated episode. When Shizai and Yefei confronted each other, he seemed to have a great sense of insecurity. In the "Reversal" chapter, Shizai was a big devil. In the "Abyss" chapter, Shizai was almost half crazy. Now in the "Sunflower" chapter, he seems to be very normal.]
[Replying to the original poster, normality is the biggest abnormality. After experiencing so many deaths of my companions, if it were me, I would probably have PTSD. How could it be possible that nothing happened to me?]
[OP: Let me post a picture.
#Picture#When the medicine bottle appeared for the first time.
#图#The second medicine bottle.
#图#Newly updated episode about medicine bottle.
I'm almost blind and can only see a few blurry letters :)]
[And Shi Ge’s attitude towards Shi Zai seems to be a little different this time. How should I put it? It’s softer?]
[Xiao Deng said to Shi Zai, don’t be afraid, Shi Zai has nothing to be afraid of.]
[At the beginning of "Sunflower", Uncle Fu reminded Shizai to take medicine, explaining that he had been ill before. Then during this confrontation, it was obvious that Xiao Deng was very nervous, and the cat hair all over his body was blown up.]
[The light went out of control when the little light was scared. Because I didn’t take the medicine last night.]
[So, after the onset of the disease, he will lose control, so he used the alien core to scratch his arm and use the pain to stay awake, right?]
[Even carrying a bag can cause injuries. How weak is this body?]
[The bald man is really not a human being. I am most likely a spiritual person. As for what it is specifically, it is hard to say.]
[But I guess, in two or three more chapters at most, we’ll know (quietly)]
[When Shi Ge is not with Shi Zai, I really feel insecure QAQ]
·
One month later.
Abyss light.
Brother Shi put on the hood he had taken from the temporary base last time.
Uncle Fu asked, "Brother Shi, do you need me to go with you?"
"No, you should have a good rest." Brother Shi helped him sit down, looked at Uncle Fu's old face, and said lightly: "You don't have to follow us."
Shi Deng lived in Yuan Guang when he was a child, and was raised as a "pig" along with hundreds of other children of his age.
In the end, only one of these children can survive, and that is the 'Guang King', who will also be the next leader of Yuan Guang.
Every child who is treated as a 'gut' will be assigned a 'moth' to take care of the child's daily life and act as a guard until the child dies.
Every moth will only recognize one owner in its lifetime.
Uncle Fu was the 'moth' chosen by Shi Deng at that time.
Uncle Fu's ability is pulling threads, which is related to one-sided binding.
After so many resets, only Uncle Fu stubbornly followed them and witnessed Shi Deng's despair time and time again. He was the only one who knew all the truth.
But the cost is also obvious.
He changed from a young man in his twenties to a serious and kind old man. Perhaps if he were to be reset once more, he would truly disappear in the journey of time.
Uncle Fu shook his head: "When I became a 'moth', my wife died in an accident right after giving birth, and the child didn't even open his eyes. Later, taking care of the young master... and taking care of the leader became a habit."
"In my heart, I secretly treat him as my own child. I have watched him grow up and become better and better," Uncle Fu said with a smile. "Now I am old, but he is still young. I can treat him as my grandson."
Uncle Fu is very open-minded and carefree.
Growing old gradually like this is also a complete life.
He felt sorry for the child, but he couldn't do much to help. Perhaps accompanying him could make him feel happier.
"But if anyone bullies him, my crutch is not just a decoration! Humph!" Uncle Fu poked the floor with the crutch in his hand.
Shi Ge smiled and said, "No, I'm here."
Uncle Fu: "Brother Shi, aren't you going out? Go quickly and come back early for dinner."
The young man nodded.
Before leaving, he closed the windows to prevent the old man from catching a cold.
He also wanted to see an old friend.
City C.
Thick smoke hung in the sky.
The bright lights of the city were destroyed by a sudden attack from a level 10 special monster.
Countless people screamed and ran out of the city center.
The police who maintain order and the people with special abilities lead the way for them.
"Here, here, don't worry..."
"Everyone, please be careful. Someone is already handling it. Please be careful where you step and don't step on others!"
A fire-type brown bear about ten meters tall was constantly spitting fire, with Amaya psychics flying around to rescue it.
The leader was Lao Chi.
He is in his early thirties, with an untidy beard. When he is not smiling or talking, he has a naturally cold look on his face. He holds a cigarette in his mouth and wears a Tiangu uniform. He looks like a handsome uncle who is not easy to mess with.
Lao Chi is a level 11 space mutant who has his own way of dealing with special monsters.
Brother Shi stood not far away at the point where light and shadow were divided, watching silently.
He should know Lao Chi better than Shi Deng.
Because Shi Deng cheated during the second reset and begged Shi Ge for a long time, Shi Ge, who looked more mature, also became the instructor of Yuan Ting and the other two.
In other words, Brother Shi was Lao Chi's colleague during the second reset.
[I think of Shi Ge and Lao Chi. We fought side by side for three years. We were comrades in arms.]
[What a strange and bound relationship. When Lao Chi was in the Youth Chapter, he took care of Shi Deng as if he were his half-son. Later, Shi Ge and Lao Chi became colleagues. Do you think Shi Ge will have the memory that Lao Chi treated him as his son?]
[Of course there is, but that’s just my personality, I’m always indifferent to everything.]
The battle lasted for three hours. The special beast could no longer hold on. Before it died, it spat out its last powerful fire needle at Lao Chi.
Lao Chi's supernatural power was over-consumed, and he was not able to react for a moment. He thought he was going to have a minor failure this time, and was prepared to be injured in the mission, but he saw the fire needle being clamped by a bony finger.
A hooded figure appeared in front of him, with only a small part of his neck and jawline visible.
“……!”
Lao Chi was stunned for a second, and when he reacted, he almost dropped his cigarette gun to the ground. He quickly stepped back and said, "Who are you? You scared me to death."
After a pause, he asked suspiciously: "A human or a ghost?"
What a strange feeling.
He had clearly never seen this person before, so why didn't he feel any sense of vigilance? Instead, he felt inexplicably familiar with him.
Shi Ge said, "Would you like to buy me a bottle of orange juice?"
Lao Chi thought to himself, I don’t even know you, why should I hire you? Every penny I earn is earned at the cost of my life.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Cross-sea bridge, railing.
The vast water surface reflects the lights of the city.
The hooded young man leaned his elbows on the fence, looking at the blurry ships on the sea in the distance.
The old man looked at the young man who was drinking juice slowly, and finally lost his temper and said, "I say, who are you?"
The young man glanced at the cigarette in his hand and said, "You should get a new one."
Lao Chi: "I'm nostalgic and don't want to change. Who are you from? A free-powered person? Bro, I haven't seen you before, and I think you're pretty strong, my friend."
The young man ignored his veiled temptation and turned the cup in his hand.
After a long time, he threw out a sentence that stunned Lao Chi.
"I know that the energy of the Yuan Sui is getting weaker and weaker. Three years later, when it loses all its energy, the pollution will explode."
Lao Chi smoked his cigarette, quickly cleared up his expression, laughed and said: "Why is the essence weakening..."
The young man said, "Later."
The smile on Lao Chi's face faded.
The atmosphere around him darkened.
"You know my name," Lao Chi said, "what do you want to say?"
·
City F.
The sky is overcast and it looks like it's going to rain.
Yuan Ting and the other two did not use the monster cores they obtained from hunting to upgrade, but instead worked their way up steadily. During this period, their strength improved by leaps and bounds, Cen Le reached the bottleneck of the advanced level, and Yuan Ting and Zhi Ze reached level six.
The wild grass and scattered rocks looked desolate under the gloomy sky.
Yuan Ting felt the rain on his face: "Why don't we find a place to take shelter from the rain first?"
"It's too difficult to upgrade the prophecy skill," Zhize said noncommittally, sighing as he looked for a place to take shelter from the rain, "It's ethereal, intangible, and can't be touched or seen."
Cen Le: "The opportunity has not yet arrived. Can you predict where we will rest this time?"
"...Okay," Zhizawa picked up a small stone, "I predict."
The stone flew out suddenly.
"Walk!"
However, the stone did not take them to a place to shelter from the rain, but instead hit an extremely tall "stone mountain".
The moment Cen Le and the other two landed.
The Stone Mountain moved, and slowly opened its huge beast eyes.
The terrifying super-beast pressure instantly covered the sky and the earth.
“…”
Yuan Ting's face turned numb.
He gasped and whispered through his teeth: "Zhi Ze... I asked you to find a place to rest, not a place where you can't wake up..."
Zhize: “…”
Is it too late to run now?
The Stone Mountain rose up suddenly and let out a beastly roar. All the stones on its body broke into pieces, revealing the full appearance of the beast.
It is a three-tailed fox with white and purple stripes, and is very good at dreaming.
A streak of black gas came from the sky and instantly rushed into the three-tailed fox's brow.
[Ahhh, Black Mist!! Damn it, it’s you again, look at me, I’m going to throw left hooks, right hooks, up and down hooks!]
[Fuck, this is a special grade. When I was in danger in the youth chapter, I don’t remember it being this fierce. What if I really get killed?]
[Calm down, calm down. The protagonist will never die. This development is obviously different from the previous ones.]
[Wc Bald Pen, you guys know that old silver coins can really do anything. If you break it early this time, Shizai will definitely reset it again.]
[Impossible, it's obviously Black Mist's fault. Bald Pen definitely didn't arrange this plot to kill them, right? QAQ]
The time has come for the lights to open.
He opened the window and looked towards Yuan Ting and the other two's destination today.
According to the original plan, he went to find Ye Fei in order to quickly increase the growth rate of Sister Le and the other two.
This time, they were deliberately moved to the north to carry out their mission because there was a Phantom Rabbit that was close to being a top-level one. Pressure could further unleash its potential.
But the strange feeling just now...
"I want to go and take a look, Xiao Deng, will you come with me?"
The kitten meowed and jumped onto his shoulder.
The figure of Shideng disappeared instantly.
…
The three-tailed fox curled up its tail and lay slowly in the rain mist, seemingly dreaming something.
There were three figures tied to its tail, they were Yuan Ting, Cen Le and Zhi Ze. The latter two had already fallen into a coma, and only Yuan Ting was still struggling.
The time light appeared in the air, and I looked away after a glance.
The person is still alive.
This realization calmed the pent-up energy surging in him a little.
The boy did not braid his hair into a small braid today. His long hair was scattered behind him. Where the rain had soaked his hair, the black and dark red gradually disappeared and turned grayish white.
Against the gray sky, it looks like a gradually fading painting.
The moment he appeared, Yuan Tingyu's eyes widened. "Mmmmm--" He tried to open his mouth and spoke weakly, "Time lamp... Go!"
His eyes were red: "What are you doing here? This is a special-grade exotic beast, get out of here, idiot!"
Shi Deng's fingertips trembled, as if he didn't hear anything.
The three-tailed fox opened its eyes, and the look in its eyes did not look like that of an animal at all.
"Tokidōng," a small dot of black mist floated on the three-tailed fox's forehead, and the black mist continued, "It's a pity that I can only use a little power. In fact, I would rather fight you than kill them."
Time Light: "How does it feel to break free from the chains of time?"
“…”
The black mist twisted and sneered, "I really don't understand the meaning of you struggling like this. As long as that day comes, you will never be able to stop me. How many times can you hold on?"
The time lamp fell to the ground. He had dealt with this guy countless times and knew that there was something behind his words.
Not wanting Yuan Ting to hear too much information, he asked directly: "What do you want to do?"
The black mist gradually spread out, reaching just below Tokido's feet. "Go forward, take a step. I have prepared a wonderful gift for you."
Yuan Ting tried hard to stay awake and murmured in a hoarse voice: "No... Tokido... don't..." The scene before him was completely different from the Tokido brother he knew, who loved to laugh and simply needed to be protected.
But he didn't care at all.
That was the one who would go out early in the morning to buy flying wings for him, and even hurt his hands from carrying the things. He was a friend and brother in his heart.
Shi Deng glanced at them and then pursed her lips slightly.
He took a step forward.
Before his eyes fell into darkness, he heard a roar that he seemed to have heard many times: "Go quickly——"
…
Time flows backwards and the world spins.
Everything is distorted into a kaleidoscope dream.
When I opened my eyes again, it seemed like only a second had passed.
It was an illusion prepared for him by the Black Mist, and Shi Deng recognized it instantly.
But there seemed to be no danger, and Shi Deng couldn't figure out what the black fog was trying to do.
This is Yuan Guang. He is stuffed into the shell of his past self. He has his own thoughts, but he cannot control his body. He can only watch what happened happen again.
The young man sat in the leader's chair, wearing complicated black and red clothes, with his dark red hair casually scattered behind him.
That was his first reset, and that time, he completely stood on the opposite side of Yuan Ting, Sister Le and Zhi Ze.
The author has something to say:
The revision of the article is finished. I have been overworking my brain and typing too much these three days, so the author has abandoned it. I will return to normal tomorrow.
Some explanations about revisions.
1. Every book of the author has an outline, and this short story is no exception. The reason why it is quick to revise and rewrite is that the core of the outline has not changed, so it is easier to rethink it. What needs to be changed is only the way of expression of the story and the character settings.
At first I wanted to use the current method, but considering that it is relatively complicated and some readers may not understand it, I wanted to write it in order. However, as I wrote, I found that the part I really wanted to express was too late, so I wrote it very painfully.
This book is currently on a good list. If I decide to revise the text, I will stop updating for three days, which means that half of my previous efforts will be wasted.
I told myself that it was okay and I could just go ahead and write according to the original outline. I could finish it anyway. But it was too uncomfortable. The story had already changed after it was written. It was not what I wanted to show at all. So I wrote more than 6,000 words on No. 11 Feijin Bala. I was so uncomfortable that I skipped a bowl of rice. After rubbing the back of my almost bald head for a while, I decided to rewrite it.
2. About the increase and decrease of characters.
The protagonists adopt the classic iron triangle model of two men and one woman. The names were changed because I thought some readers would be confused.
Without Mr. You, the tension between this guy and Shi Deng is too eye-catching. Most of the focus is on them, causing the other characters to become background boards, which is seriously out of touch with the overall atmosphere of this short story.
3. I apologize to everyone. I stayed up for two nights to revise it. This is the first time in my writing career that I have revised an article like this. It has brought a bad reading experience to everyone, but there are still some dears who are willing to wait for me. QAQ Thank you all (bow)
4. There will definitely be readers who don’t like the current version. I can’t satisfy all readers. If you are very angry or feel uncomfortable, you can send me a private message on Weibo with your subscription, and I will send you a red envelope to refund the money from the second world.
5. Apologize again.
