The wind blew gently past his ears. After a few seconds of silence, Shi Ge smiled softly.

He is the future when the light does not choose to go back.

If Shi Deng had just held his hand, it would mean giving up his current persistence.

Then he would give up everything he had done in Tiangu before, pay some price, and let everything go back to the original time when the light did not go back.

Then pollution broke out, black fog raged, the evil in human nature swallowed up the goodness in the world, and murderous desire, ethics, and morality all collapsed.

Everywhere is a tragedy.

The uncontaminated and self-protective superpowers barely have a place to live, but they gradually become cold and indifferent, their blood runs cold, and they will not feel the slightest emotion when they see people die in front of them.

If the child is not a supernatural being, most parents will choose to strangle him to death with their own hands to prevent him from being contaminated and becoming a disaster.

And he was...

Shi Ge was a little absent-minded.

Shi Deng only held on for a while before he completely passed out. Before his hand fell to the ground, Shi Ge caught it.

He leaned over and picked up the blood-stained boy horizontally.

He is very light in weight and seems not to have eaten well recently. If he goes back, Uncle Fu will be very distressed and will probably scold him for being so cruel.

The young man took a last look at Fengcheng.

In the middle of the wide-open city gate was the road of conscience filled with malice and blood. With every step he took, there would be another wound on the young man in his arms.

Shi Ge: "It seems unfair to give without any reward."

Because Shi Deng was unconscious, the time chain above the sky was slowly disappearing. Before it disappeared, a light flashed in Shi Ge's eyes.

Countless invisible golden lights surged in from Fengcheng and its surroundings and gathered into the Time Lamp.

Those who drank Shi Deng's blood had his aura on them. Since they used blood to offset the pollution, they must take out something of equal value to compensate.

The golden light he drew out with the time chain can be said to be time, or it can be said to be another kind of protective energy. In the end, it is a good thing.

Of course, there was no one in this city who drank the blood of the time lamp, so he naturally couldn't draw any out.

When the last ray of golden light sank into the boy's body, Shi Ge smiled.

He disappeared into the sunlight holding the young man, and his voice faded away in the wind.

His voice, which was usually low and cold, now took on an elusive tenderness and solemnity under the setting sun.

"Shideng, may everything go as you wish in your future, and may you be healthy and well every year."

The boy rested his forehead on his chest, and his clenched palms loosened, letting out a cute Band-Aid with a pig head painted on it.

Yuan Ting and others who flew down from high above did not catch any of their shadows.

After performing this point in the script, Miyabi can finally take a break.

Because of the serious injury he suffered, he was still in a coma. Apart from retaining a part of his consciousness to control Shi Ge and Xiao Deng, most of his consciousness was immersed in playing happily in the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

The escape from the comic world went smoothly. Bald Pen was very happy and diligently helped him and Xiao Guangtuan download several games. Gong Du was addicted to playing them for several days before he found time to check the forum.

For the sake of plot continuity, the comic was delayed for a week before updating the previous chapter.

The painting shows the scene after the time lamp enters Fengcheng.

From night to dawn, and then to sunset, a path paved with blood was created.

Gong Du flipped through it and sighed, "It's hard for me to write."

If a normal comic is reset so many times and each time is drawn in great detail, how can readers keep up with the latest updates?

"Time Paradox" maintains its popularity, on the one hand because the story itself has a plot, and on the other hand because of the simple painting style and the just-right details that can tell the story clearly.

The "Youth Chapter" and the "Reversal Chapter" of the first flashback are longer, and the subsequent "Abyss Chapter" which includes ten flashbacks is actually very short. Judging from the progress, this time's Sunflower Chapter has already gone two-thirds.

The forum is very lively, and well... there are a lot of people crying.

[Is this a knife? This is fucking a knife to me.]

[What did Shi Ge mean by that last sentence? Isn’t he the future of Shi Deng? QAQ, he won’t send it to me, right…]

['Shideng, I wish you a happy future, everything goes as you wish, and you are healthy every year. 'Giao Shige, nothing will happen to you, right? This is like saying goodbye! Bald Pen, can you be a good person? (Shocking!)

[Shi Ge is the future that Shi Deng chose not to go back to. I think at the end, when Shi Ge stretched out his hand, he was actually giving Shi Zai a choice. If Shi Zai chose to hold it, the future would not change, but Shi Zai did not hold it... Combined with Shi Ge's last words, it's probably doomed.]

[Little Piglet Band-Aid, why did you do that at the end? If it wasn’t there, Shi Zai would be completely disappointed, wouldn’t that be another choice.]

[But if the sunflowers don’t face the sun, unless it’s dark, it means they’re dead. Without that last bit of kindness, I can’t imagine what the lights would look like now.]

[I guess the situation in Tiangu is chaotic now. Almost everyone knows what happened in Fengcheng. That bloody road is really like a pilgrimage...]

[God knows how complicated my feelings were when I saw the back of the comic and Tokito still chose to hold on to the light. I felt it was not worth it for him, but I was also very moved. QAQ I guess I am broken.]

[I think Shi Cub is about to break down. Can the healing system completely heal that injury?]

Gong Du thought that this injury was indeed serious. Not to mention the excessive blood loss, the external injuries alone would take a long time to recover.

But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect me anyway.

The Yuan Sui incident is coming, and it would be inconvenient to be entangled with the protagonists. The plot of Fengcheng is just a turning point, but it should be concluded next.

Xiao Guangtuan: "If you don't wake up, Uncle Fu's hair will get angry."

Gong Du finished the last game and stretched his body. "It's a rare opportunity to relax. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Uncle Fu: "The people from Tiangu sent another visiting card."

This is really the first time in history that the two forces have disliked each other for hundreds of years, and now it is Tiangu who took the initiative to deliver the visiting card.

Shi Ge was trimming branches in the room. After a while, he said calmly, "It's just one thing. Let's quit."

Uncle Fu sighed: "The leader hasn't woken up yet, and he's covered in injuries..."

People with healing powers are not omnipotent. If they could heal every injury, all doctors in the world would be out of business.

The chief's injuries took five full days of rescue work by the doctors and psychics at Yuanguan before his vital signs were stabilized. However, he still suffered from many sequelae.

"Oh, I won't say more. When the leader got into trouble, it was all thanks to you, Brother Shi, for shocking the people under Yuan Guang. Thank you for your hard work in the past half month."

"Uncle Fu, just don't blame me for tying you up for a few days."

Uncle Fu choked and glared at him: "You still want to talk! When the leader wakes up, I will tell him everything. You go and explain it to him yourself. I won't say anything good for you!"

"…What good words?"

A hoarse voice came from the bed. The young man who had been in a coma for half a month coughed and slowly opened his eyes, with a dazed look in his eyes.

Click.

The scissors that Brother Shi used to trim the branches were a little crooked and he cut in the wrong place.

"Shi Deng!" Xiao Deng was originally playing the video game nearby. After hearing the noise, he immediately dropped what he was holding, ran over with eager eyes, and lay down beside the bed.

The doctor and the healing psychic were soon called in, and after examining the patient for about half an hour, they left again, saying that we should pay attention to the sequelae, and that there was nothing serious else.

The young man lying on the bed had clean bandages wrapped around his arms, calves, and ankles. He looked pale and fragile, and when the light from outside shone in, he felt almost transparent and fragile.

Xiao Deng stretched out his hand hesitantly, then retracted it, not daring to touch him.

He asked quietly, "Does it still hurt?"

Uncle Fu took two steps at a time and walked to Shi Deng. Before he could finish his words, his eyes turned red with pain. He opened his mouth, but what came out was a complaint: "...You scared me to death, kid!"

Shi Deng smiled and said, "Uncle Xiaofu, I want to eat the porridge you cooked."

Uncle Fu sighed and said, "I don't know when you will wake up, I have been preparing for you."

He walked out quickly and clapped his hands at the door. Soon someone brought a cart to the door. Uncle Fu pushed it in and closed the door.

"Brother Shi, help me sit up."

The young man pursed his lips, placed the scissors on the table, walked over, bent down, half-helped the boy on the bed to sit up, and placed a soft pillow under his lower back.

Reaching out his hand and patting it, Shi Ge raised his eyes and asked, "Is it okay?"

The boy nodded.

Xiao Deng moved a chair over obediently and said, "Brother Shi, sit down. Admit your mistakes honestly, and Shi Deng won't blame you."

Shi Ge: “…”

Uncle Fu laughed, set up a small table on the bed, and served Shi Deng the porridge, along with a pile of pickled vegetables he had pickled himself: "The temperature is just right. Chief, listen to what Shi Ge'er said. Eat slowly and don't get angry."

It was rare for Shi Deng to see a look of confusion on Shi Ge's face.

His identity as the leader of Abyss has been kept very secret, and the possibility of his true identity being revealed all of a sudden is extremely small. In addition, to make so many people believe it, it would surely require very detailed information.

The only people who could get the information were Xiao Deng, Uncle Xiao Fu and Brother Shi.

Xiao Deng doesn't have this ability yet, and Uncle Fu can't do it either, so only Brother Shi is left.

In fact, he had guessed that it was Shi Ge who did it the moment he knew his identity was exposed. He just followed the next path and followed his heart.

The decision to enter Fengcheng to examine his conscience was his own, and he should bear the consequences himself. It has nothing to do with Brother Shi.

After all, he would get through this sooner or later.

The word "tangled" is really not suitable for Brother Shi. Shi Deng smiled and said, "Forget it. Actually, I have guessed it almost right. Brother Shi, how about you promise me one thing as compensation?"

Shi Ge: “You say.”

Shi Deng: "I want to celebrate my birthday once."

"Hey?" Xiao Deng asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to celebrate your birthday? Don't we never celebrate birthdays?"

Shi Deng's birthday is on July 29th, but Yuan Guang's children do not have the right to celebrate their birthdays, and he has no parents or relatives, so his birthday is just an ordinary day for him.

The Yuansui incident happened on August 2, three days later.

Shi Deng: "I just thought about it once, you guys have to give me a gift then~"

Xiao Deng protested: "It's obviously my and Shi Ge's birthday too!"

"Don't quarrel," Shi Ge pinched his brows and pressed Xiao Deng's head: "Xiao Deng, he is still young, don't bother with him."

Xiao Deng: “???”

Uncle Fu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Let's live together, Chief. If you don't drink this porridge, it will get cold."

Shi Deng coughed lightly, picked up the spoon, and just as he was about to take a sip, his hand shook uncontrollably, and the spoon fell on the table with a bang, breaking into two pieces.

The air was still for a second.

Uncle Fu quickly came to his senses, cleaned up, and replaced the spoon with a new one: "I forgot. How can a person who just woke up have the strength?"

Shi Ge took it and said, "I'll feed you."

The young man blinked, raised his hand to look at it, then used some strength to clench it, but found that he had no strength at all. He used his supernatural powers and it was almost the same as usual, but when he moved, it was still abnormally painful.

Shi Deng was very smart and guessed it right away: "Discarded?"

Xiao Deng hurriedly shook her head: "No, the doctor said that I need to rest for a while and I will be fine." It is indeed not a permanent injury, but just a temporary sequelae.

The time lamp was fine, and his calves seemed to be temporarily numb. But it didn't matter if they were really useless, it didn't affect his ability to use.

While slowly drinking the porridge that Brother Shi fed him, he felt the polluted air locked in his heart.

The only thing that can destroy the Yuan, besides the energy in the Yuan Sui, is the Yuan itself.

However, he collected polluted air not to create another pollution source to compete with the 'Yuan', but just wanted to offset part of the 'Yuan's' power when that day came.

He was lost in thought and didn't say anything, which made Uncle Fu feel bad: "Chief..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. When the doctor came to see her, the news that Shi Deng had woken up had already spread.

A subordinate reported outside the door, saying: "Reporting to the leader, the people sent by Tiangu have arrived outside Yuanguang and said they want to see you."
