People from Tiangu want to see him?

Shi Deng swallowed a mouthful of porridge and asked, "Is it because of the Fengcheng incident or my blood?"

Uncle Fu said, "I don't know. He just said he was visiting. I guess it was both. There was also the instructor named Chi. He wanted to meet Shi Ge'er."

"The spearhead team has all arrived. The remaining few are senior executives of Tiangu. They also brought doctors with them."

Shi Deng wanted to speak, but Shi Ge fed him spoonful after spoonful at the right time, leaving him no chance to speak.

Only after he finished the bowl of porridge did he wave his hands and say, "I'm full."

Shi Ge raised his eyes and said, "You know their personalities. Let's get to the bottom of it. Have you thought about how to make it up?"

“…”

Shi Deng: "How can I make it up? Forget it, Uncle Xiaofu, change my clothes for me. Just the leader's uniform will do. I'll go meet them."

After saying that, he exclaimed, "Why did Instructor Chi specifically ask to see you? Brother Shi, have you ever visited him privately?"

Shi Ge's tone remained unchanged: "We met once before by chance."

Shi Ge turned Xiao Deng into a cat again and put it in Shi Deng's arms. "Let Uncle Fu and Xiao Deng accompany you. After all, this can be considered the second reset, my old friend."

He didn't tell Tokido about his trip to Tiangu.

Shi Deng did not doubt it, he changed his clothes, and used his newly recovered supernatural powers to attach to his legs. He stood up with difficulty. The moment he landed, his calves were extremely painful, and he almost fell to his knees.

Shi Ge frowned and helped him.

The boy sighed: "...I haven't gotten out of bed for half a month. I can't even walk anymore."

Uncle Fu: "The leader can't leave yet. I've prepared a wheelchair."

Shi Deng smiled and said, "I can walk even with my special powers. How can I sit in a wheelchair for the first official meeting after my identity was exposed? This is too embarrassing. Uncle Xiaofu, please save some face for me."

Uncle Fu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Which is more important, face or health?"

There was no way to get the hour light, so he thought of a compromise, "I'll push you over in a wheelchair first, at worst we won't let them see you."

Shi Deng picked up Xiao Deng and raised his hands and paws to show his approval.

This is my ninth visit to Tiangu in the past half month.

Apart from Chi Yu and the spearhead group, the remaining senior executives with weak strength were very nervous when they came for the first one or two times, fearing that they would die here.

But after coming here more often, they found that Abyssinia was not what they had imagined, or in other words, Abyssinia had changed a lot in the past few years.

When the previous leader was in office, he often allowed alien beasts to destroy the safety of the city, and most of the people in Abyss were trained loyal warriors who were cold-blooded and ruthless.

Add to that the source of pollution, 'Yuan', which is in Yuan Guang, and everything Yuan Guang does is filtered through an evil filter.

But if you count carefully, after the new leader was appointed, Yuan Guang no longer caused trouble, and fewer people died in Tiangu.

Just as Chi Yu and the others were expecting to be rejected again, the door of Yuan Guang opened and the waiter bowed his head: "The leader has sent an order. Please come in."

Yuan Ting and the other two were shocked, looked at each other, and finally stepped into the heavy black door.

The waiter led them along a long and winding road.

The black buildings blocked the sunlight, and the surrounding light gradually dimmed.

There are tall trees outside the abyss, which makes it very gloomy here.

The winding corridor was very quiet, and apart from the waiters leading them, no living person could be seen. However, Zhize could clearly feel that there were many powerful esper around.

His breath was frighteningly steady; he must be a death warrior raised by Yuan Guang.

They finally reached the conference room, and the door slowly opened. Yuan Ting looked up and finally saw the clock light.

Abyssal leader.

That is another side that they have never known.

At the end of the long conference table sat their friends who were both strange and familiar to them.

The boy was leaning back in a scarlet chair, wearing a complicated red and black chief's outfit, carelessly stroking the kitten in the crook of his arm.

His collar and cuffs were buttoned tightly, and apart from his pale face, there was nothing wrong with him.

"You are a distinguished guest from Tiangu who has come from afar. Please don't be polite. Please take a seat."

Later, several people sat on both sides of the hour lamp.

Shi Deng: "Uncle Fu, ask someone to serve tea."

Hearing him call him "Little Uncle Fu", I took a closer look at the elegant old man with gray hair, wondering why he had to add a small word in front of the title.

The waiter served tea, and the atmosphere was very subtle, with no one talking.

Only after the waiter left did Yuan Ting speak up: "Shi Deng, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you want Sister Le to…"

"Cough, cough!" A senior executive of Tiangu coughed loudly.

The Tiangu executive was very sincere and said, "We came here mainly to deal with the incident in Fengcheng last time."

"Although I don't know why you hid your identity and became an external member of the Sharp Knife Team for more than two years, Tian Gu did not suffer any losses during these two years, and even received a lot of help."

"Half a month ago, your identity was exposed, and Fengcheng was the most dangerous place. The incident happened suddenly, and Tiangu's way of handling the problem was indeed inappropriate. We are sorry for this."

Chi had already told them about his own conjecture. Shi Deng regarded himself as a container for pollution, using blood as a medium to absorb the polluted air in the human body.

This speculation is really horrifying. If so much polluted air enters the body, it will either drive a person crazy or turn him into a complete demon. However, Shi Deng was very clear-headed that day.

Not necessarily.

If he was really awake, how could he have walked out of that bloody road in Fengcheng?

Thinking of this, Tiangu's senior executive secretly glanced at Leader Yuanguang sitting on the chair.

His eyebrows are indifferent and his eyes are clear.

He doesn't look crazy either.

When they came to Yuanguang this time, Tiangu was already in a mess. Yibo thought that Shideng's actions were a conspiracy and that absorbing the polluted air was for a bigger conspiracy.

None of the other supernatural beings who had experienced the Fengcheng incident thought so. The two sides could not reach a consensus, so they finally sent them here.

Judging from this, leader Yuan Guang does not seem to be seriously injured, and does not look like he has been in a coma for half a month after returning from Fengcheng.

Shi Deng did not rush to answer the senior executive's question, but glanced at Chi Yu and said, "Mr. Chi, the person you are looking for is waiting for you in another place."

The one I am going to meet later is Brother Shi.

"Uncle Xiaofu, have someone take him there."

Along the way, several senior executives from Tiangu, including the one who spoke at the beginning, were all asked to leave unwillingly.

Now there were only five of them, including Uncle Xiaofu, left in the conference room, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Shi Deng touched the cat, his fingertips were powerless and his movements were very light.

The slight tingling sensation from the joints actually makes the brain clear.

He didn't even take a sip of the tea that was poured in front of him, because he couldn't even lift it without using his superpowers. But if he used his superpowers, the three people present, Yuan Ting, were all top-class superpower users, and they would immediately discover the fact that he was in poor health.

Shi Deng made up a lie and tried to fool the man. "I..."

"Shi Deng," Cen Le said softly, "you always avoid looking into other people's eyes before you lie."

Shikezawa added: "And there are small movements of the hands."

Shi Deng's movement of touching Xiao Deng froze.

Yuan Ting has been feeling very uncomfortable these past few days. He dreams about Shi Deng covered in blood that day.

He wiped his face and asked, "I've been thinking a lot these days. Zhize often says I'm stupid, but I just reacted a little slowly. Shideng, when we first met, was it an accident, a coincidence, or did you deliberately design our acquaintance?"

Shideng: “Is it important?”

Yuan Ting: “Important.”

The lights were silent.

Zhize: "Ye Fei later told us that when you were in City F, you changed the order of our tasks. But now it seems that the changed order of tasks is clearly the most suitable one for us."

"If you didn't know us thoroughly, you would never have been able to change the mission order like that. But at that time, the spearhead team had only been established for a short time, and we didn't even know our own abilities. How could you possibly know us so well?"

The three of them did not use a tones of questioning, but rather a calm tone. They calmly laid out the things they had analyzed one by one in front of the clock lamp, and then came to a final, very absurd conclusion.

Cen Le looked at him and said uncertainly, "Shi Deng, have we known each other for a long time?"

The boy stroked the kitten's fingers and did not move for a long time.

The long and silent silence stretches time infinitely.

The weakness and powerlessness of his body made him feel a little tired. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to be a little old, and he didn't look like a young man anymore.

"More than two years ago, I met you in City F. It was my plan. That was definitely not the place where we first met."

"I told you!" Yuan Ting slammed the table. "I told you, Shi Deng once jokingly told us that he was almost a hundred years old, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems to be true."

Cen Le & Zhi Ze: “?”

Time light: “?”

The information that revealed Shi Deng's identity showed that he took office about seven years ago, but Shi Deng looked the same as it does now seven years ago, and it has not changed at all today.

Yuan Ting's shrewd look just now disappeared cleanly, revealing his true nature. He was very excited as he talked and drew. The more he spoke, the more he felt that his analysis was correct, and he even stood up.

"The four of us should have been friends a hundred years ago, but for some reason, three of us died, leaving only Shi Deng."

"Then, for some reason, Tokito became immortal, and his blood was comparable to that of a certain monk. He traveled a hundred years, killed the previous leader of Abyss Light, and met our reincarnation, and then—

That’s all that happened later!”

After he finished his passionate analysis, he lowered his head and met several pairs of eyes with indescribable expressions.

“…”

Shi Deng pondered.

How should I put it? After being reset so many times, a lot of things have changed, but there are also many things that remain unchanged, such as Yuan Ting's brain circuit, which is like stepping on a banana peel.

On the basis of solving the problem correctly, Shengsheng made a reverse sprint. But in a sense, this is already infinitely close to the correct answer.

Zhize had a headache, so he pulled Yuan Ting and said seriously, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Shi Deng, we are friends, and we don't want to be kept in the dark."

Shi Deng: "Do you really want to know?"

The three Zhize nodded.

Shi Deng was quiet for a while, the smile on his lips slowly faded, and then he raised his hand and waved.

Uncle Fu understood, "Please follow me to the cliff in the back hall."

The light at the edge of the cliff was dim, but the view was wide, and one could overlook the entire forest from here. Yuan Ting and the other two did not understand what this meant, so they followed and stood here.

It doesn't seem like a place to confess, but rather a perfect place to destroy corpses.

Just as he was about to ask something, he felt a strong supernatural power fluctuation in the sky, and then a long, bloody crack appeared in the gray sky.

Shi Deng used his supernatural powers to support himself and walked out from the middle.

Zhize recognized the extremely long bloody crack. This bloody crack would appear every time Shi Ge and Shi Deng appeared or left in an instant.

But this narrow streak of blood did not disappear like before, but became bigger and longer. They could even faintly hear the rustling sound of wind blowing through leaves and the sound of raging waves.

Finally, the blood stretched across the horizon and became an illusory yet mighty river. Sometimes the river was clear and calm, and sometimes it was surging with blood.

The banks of the river were covered with reeds that were either green or yellow. There were countless phantom faceless men wearing black capes and hats, weaving the reeds in their hands without sleep.

The young man standing on the blood river lowered his eyes.

"My ability is to control time. The two ends of time include life and death. This river is the river of time, and also the river of life and death. Its name is—"

"Yellow Spring."

A solemn and sacred voice sounded faintly, striking heavily in everyone's heart:

[The river of life and death, time is disordered, no turning back, no reverse flow, the living move forward, the dead move backward.]
