From the moment he chose to reset, the clock seemed to jump out of time. Time for him was completely still, forever staying at the state when it was first reset at the age of 19.

Aside from being able to take damage, and paying the price for going back in time, nothing has changed about him.

When the time ability is cultivated to a certain level, it will summon Huangquan.

No one can completely control the Yellow Springs Blood River, and Shi Deng can only use it to do some things.

The blood river was vast and almost covered the entire sky above Abyss.

Chi Yu, who was with Shi Ge, raised his head with a serious expression, "What a unique aura."

Magnificent and vast, with a hint of vitality mixed in with the meaning of death.

Shi Ge took a look, raised his hand and pulled out a reed from the two banks of the Yellow Spring in the sky. He said calmly: "This river is called Yellow Spring. Everyone will pass through it after death."

Chi Yu: "I have seen in ancient books that people who can control the three major supernatural powers of life and death, time, and space have the opportunity to see a corner of the underworld."

Although he is a space-based mutant, he has never touched Hades.

No one can remain calm when they witness life and death for the first time. He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled gently, unable to describe the shock in his heart.

The river is clean and dry, and no dead souls can be seen. But the faceless people on both sides of the underworld can be seen.

A soul that refuses to step into the river.

In ancient books, they are also called people in the two worlds of life and death.

The Faceless Man can walk between the two sides of the Yellow Spring, but will gradually lose his memory and his face. He will spend all day weaving reeds in his hands, forgetting why he was unwilling to step into the river in the first place.

"The underworld is the only place where time has no order," said Shi Ge.

The wind they saw might have come from a hundred years ago, or it might have blown from a thousand years later. The faceless man they saw might have disappeared long ago, or it might have come from the future.

Belatedly looked at him.

Shi Ge: "Haven't you always wanted to ask me for an answer?"

Nodded slowly.

Both Shi Deng and this man have an elusive sense of mystery. As early as the first time he saw Shi Ge in Fengcheng, he recognized this guy as the 'Mr. Shi' who always wore a hood, so he wanted to find out.

Why did he have that feeling of déjà vu?

Shi Ge handed him the reed in his hand.

After taking it, the reeds suddenly turned into an extremely thin illusory chain, connecting to the underworld in the sky, "This is..."

"I don't know what you will see." After all, although he could guess what Shi Deng was thinking, sometimes he couldn't figure it out. "But what I can tell you is that we did know each other before."

·

"We did know each other."

After opening the Yellow Spring, Shi Deng could sense that his special powers were rapidly fading.

There was some worry in the boy's eyes, he was afraid that if his special power was used up, he wouldn't even be able to walk, wouldn't that be very embarrassing.

After looking around, he landed on the ground and sat on a rock nearby.

Looking at the stunned expressions of his three friends, Shi Deng found it a little funny. He waved his hand, and three chains emerged from the underworld and wrapped around the wrists of the three men.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

His expression gradually became firm, and Zhize nodded: "OK."

Shi Deng looked at Cen Le and the other person.

Cen Le: “Yeah.”

Yuan Ting: "Come on."

There was complete trust in his eyes.

Shi Deng was stunned for half a second, then smiled and said, "Then don't laugh at me after you finish reading this."

After all, without resetting his encounter with them, he was very weak at the beginning.

A red light flashed above the chain, and the consciousness of Chi Yu, Zhi Ze, Yuan Ting, and Cen Le slowly sank into darkness.

In the distance, Uncle Fu walked in pushing a wheelchair, "Chief."

Shi Deng sat down and closed his eyes sleepily.

He had just woken up, and after this ordeal, he felt pain all over his body. "Uncle Fu, I'm so sleepy."

Uncle Fu touched his head and said, "I thought the leader wouldn't tell them."

"Am I being a little willful?" Shi Deng thought for a moment and said, "I only plan to let them know the good things. When they wake up, I can invite them to my birthday party as friends."

Uncle Fu sighed, looked at the child he had raised, and patted his head: "This is not called willfulness."

Shi Deng was curious: "What is that called?"

Uncle Fu said, "This is called stupidity."

He said with a gentle look, "Chief, you don't have to think so much. People who truly love and like you will always consider you. You can't be the only one making sacrifices."

Shi Deng rubbed his palm: "I understand, thank you."

The boy leaned back in the wheelchair and slowly fell asleep.

…

Know the country.

A black ball with white ears and a white tail was holding a pen and writing in an extra-large notebook.

This is the script of this world, and with some revisions, it is much thicker than the previous world.

Of course, Gong Du would not choose to reveal the truth of all things at this juncture. This is not a good time.

What he revealed was the time when there was no reset, and he also separated Tokito's good and dark memories. This time, what was shown to the protagonists was only the better part of "Youth Edition".

After all, with Shi Deng's personality, how could he take the initiative to show all the pain he had suffered in front of people close to him?

He is a person who even has to secretly sit in a wheelchair.

Gong Du stretched his body, put down his pen, and leisurely calculated the time.

It will take a while for the protagonists to wake up, so he can take this opportunity to take a break.

…

Yuan Ting felt like he had entered a deep dream.

In his dream, he went back to a few years ago when he just joined the spearhead team. He was the first person to arrive at the training base and was waiting there early.

The second person who came was a little girl. He greeted her warmly, but she ignored him. The third person who came was a man of the same age. They exchanged names.

The last person to come was a young man with a stunning appearance. He smiled at them and said, "My name is Tokito, nice to meet you."

He heard himself say, "You are more handsome than me. My name is Yuan Ting."

The boy next to him said, "My name is Zhize."

The girl who was very cool at first said: "My name is Cen Le, Le means music."

This was their first encounter.

It was a self-introduction by four people, not the three who came later.

It seems that all the blank spaces are filled with the shadow of a person.

During training, a light caught fire and burned all night long before it was discovered the next day.

Instructor Chi rushed the man to the hospital and stayed with him all night. He was such a heavy smoker that he waited until the light came on before going out to take a puff of cigarette.

It seemed that because Shi Deng was an orphan, Instructor Chi took extra care of him. Many times he seemed more like a friend or a half-father than an instructor.

In City F, not only the three of them are growing, but also one person is stumbling.

The man endured the pain and injuries but kept silent. He wrapped himself tightly and looked as if nothing had happened, smiling as he watched them talk. It was only after Sister Le scolded him many times that he occasionally acted coquettishly and took the initiative to let them treat his wounds.

Together they went through the most difficult, most brutal and fastest growing period in City F.

Yuan Ting gradually couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or really experiencing this period of time, and he was easily immersed in it.

When the ice cream shop has a buy-one-get-one-free promotion, they no longer have to worry about wasting the last ice cream. When the four of them finish their mission and come back, they each have one.

Only Shi Deng loves that flavor, so orange-flavored ice cream will always be his.

The four of them all became super-powered people, and Tokiden's power became more and more powerful. His ability to make withered flowers bloom again caught the eyes of many young girls.

The higher your abilities, the more dangerous the missions you perform.

Escaped from death many times, fought against alien beasts, and fought against the abyss.

Shi Deng didn't know why, but he always got hurt more than them. When asked why, he just laughed and said it was just because he was careless.

After hunting the alien beasts at night, they would stand or sit on the high rooftops, looking at the peaceful and prosperous city, and let the night breeze blow away their fatigue and bloody smell with a comfortable look on their faces.

They shouted together and talked together.

The ID badges on their chests will glow.

Shi Deng didn't really participate in their chit-chat project to promote friendship, but he always looked at them with his chin in his hand, smiling, listening to them talk about their future and life goals, and occasionally showing them a look that they didn't understand.

Is it loneliness or jealousy?

Yuan Ting really wanted to open his mouth and ask Shi Deng: What are you thinking about?

But he couldn't ask, he was wrapped up in time, rolling forward.

It seemed as if he had spent three years to experience this dream with such a strong sense of reality, but it seemed as if only a few minutes had passed.

Yuan Ting was at a loss. Had he really experienced all this?

Until the four of them finally took on a mission——

Escort the essence to the surface of the sea.

Yuan Sui is the only thing in Beiyu Territory that can suppress pollution. The team that escorts Yuan Sui is the elite among Tiangu's elite. It is inevitable that all members of the spearhead team will escort it.

It was just an accident on the road.

In the city near the sea, the Yuansui suddenly lost its light. At that moment, the sun in the sky was blocked by black fog, and the polluted air on the ground was visible to the naked eye.

The polluted humans fell into madness, and the 'Yuan' took up residence in the body of the leader of the Yuanguang, commanding the monsters to attack human cities.

The first to be hit was the team escorting the Yuan Sui. The Psychics hastily resisted the attack, but they still died one by one.

Some died at the hands of alien beasts, some died at the hands of the 'Abyss', and some were killed by the humans they were protecting.

In the chaos, Yuan Ting felt like he had become a wandering soul, looking down at what was happening below.

He watched the Zhize guy being killed first, and he hurriedly tried to help, but his fingers could only pass through his body.

He watched 'himself' dying in battle from exhaustion, his black thunder blade piercing the ground, half-kneeling on the ground with his head bowed and no breath left.

He looked at Sister Le who had lost her composure, her eyes were red as if she had gone mad, and he tried his best to cast healing spells, but he could not bring them back to life at all, and finally died at the hands of 'Yuan'.

Her eyes were wide open. The most outstanding auxiliary psychic in Tiangu had her nightmare come true at the last moment. The treatment skills she was proud of failed to save her friend and failed to protect herself.

Yuan Ting wanted to help Sister Le close her eyes, but he couldn't.

He was just a wandering soul, and no one heard his cries.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, he saw the time light. He found the bodies of the three of them among the countless corpses and placed them together with Instructor Chi's body.

Shi Deng is the youngest among them, Cen Le is the elder sister, Yuan Ting considers himself the second elder brother, and Zhi Ze is the third. They all regard Shi Deng, who is always in poor health and too thin, as their younger brother.

Yuan Ting floated beside Shi Deng, wanting to tell him: Hurry up, you are the only one left in the spearhead team, you must live well, understand? Eat well, maybe you will grow taller.

What he didn't know was that the other three people who were 'dreaming' with him at that moment were also experiencing the same thing as him.

They couldn't see each other, but they all surrounded the hour lamp like wandering souls.

Zhize said: Shideng, let's go, don't stay here to look at our corpses. Next time when you eat ice cream, just think of your brothers.

Sister Le said: You have a lot of wounds on your body, if you don’t want to get beaten, just leave quickly.

But the time light couldn't hear what they said.

The expression on his face was full of confusion, as if the deaths of the three of them were a difficult problem for him.

After a long while, they watched a young man approaching from behind the lamp.

He is an elegant man wearing a butler's uniform.

The man said, "My dear little master, don't be sad."

Shi Deng: "...I can change all this."

He whispered, "Uncle Fu, I don't want this to end like this."

Uncle Fu: "I'll follow you."

Countless threads popped out of his hands and clung to the Time Lamp before disappearing in the blink of an eye: "This is the highest form of thread pulling. Wherever you go, I can follow you."

Shi Deng: “Okay.”

He knelt in the middle of countless corpses and whispered four words: "Time Reversal."

As soon as these words were spoken, a blood-red crack appeared on the horizon and quickly expanded into a blood-red river.

The timeline seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand. The pointer flew forward, the waterfall flowed backward, the big tree turned into a seed, and the child turned into a baby.

In the chaotic flow of countless time, they saw that Shi Deng's face turned extremely pale, his appearance had not changed, except for a strand of gray hair.

In the endless retracing of time, looking at their fleeting shadows, I said:

"Long time no see."

——

The bloody light that had lasted for a whole day above the abyss slowly disappeared.

The people from both sides of the Yellow Springs Blood River and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the reeds could no longer be heard.

Yuan Ting and the other two opened their eyes almost at the same time.

At a certain point, they could hardly tell whether they were in a dream or reality, or both.

If what they experienced was true, then the final outcome was that the time lamp successfully reversed time and returned to the time when they were not dead yet.

Yuan Ting came back to his senses, but he didn't see the shadow of the time lamp, and he said anxiously: "I want to see the time lamp."

Zhize's eyes were slightly red: "Yeah."

Cen Le: "Me too."

They faintly heard a light cough and turned around immediately.

Not far away, a young man with gray hair was also looking at them, his eyes filled with complex emotions: entanglement, regret, uneasiness, secret pain, guilt, and some joy.

This time was different from usual, they were not just meeting between friends.

The three of them haven't changed much, and have even changed for the better. But the person in front of me has changed too obviously. Feeling the vitality and vigor of the old-fashioned lamp in the past, his current hair color, which is like the twilight of life, makes people feel heartbroken.

Yuan Ting and the other two felt choked up in their throats and were unable to speak, their eyes ache terribly.

In the end, it was Tokido who smiled and said, "Long time no see."

My old friend.
