"Chief, the time has come."

The widest part of the abyss of vision was the back cliff where the light had led them last time.

At this time, in order to celebrate the birthday of the hour lamp, the place has been greatly changed. All the uneven places on the ground have been leveled. The rocks have become natural benches and tables.

There was birthday cake and delicious snacks on top.

Yuan Ting, Xiao Deng and Chi Yu could all notice that Shi Deng was a little depressed.

Xiao Deng: "How about waiting for Brother Shi?"

The uneasy palpitations from before had disappeared. Shi Deng pursed his lips and said, "No need, let's get started."

He raised his eyebrows reluctantly, thinking that he was indeed angry.

I don’t know what that guy wants to buy that takes so long to prepare.

The young leader sat in his wheelchair and raised his hands.

Uncle Fu nodded.

He took out a button from his pocket and pressed it. Fireworks appeared in the sky. A second before they bloomed, the boy heard someone calling him from behind.

"Time light."

Shi Deng's eyes lit up instantly and he turned around to look.

His future was standing not far behind him, holding a bouquet of sunflowers in one hand and a glass bottle filled with green stars in the other.

The young man's breathing was a little disordered, and it was obvious that he had rushed over.

Bang, bang, bang——

The dazzling fireworks are like gilded gold, blooming brilliantly in the night sky.

The scattered flying flames burned out the last ray of light, and the scenery below the cliff was illuminated clearly. A cluster of flying flames was extinguished, and then another firework appeared on top.

The young man's deep blue eyes reflected the fireworks in the sky. He walked in, put the glass bottle into the clock light's arms, then squatted down and held the flowers in front of him: "Happy birthday, I'll catch the fireworks gift."

"happy birthday--"

“Happy Birthday, Shi Deng!”

“I will be happy every year from now on!”

Wuhu's joyful blessings rang out, and Uncle Fu smiled happily. He slowly pushed the cake on the cart over and lit the candles: "Make a wish?"

Shi Deng now really wants to see the gift that Shi Ge gave him. This is the first time that Shi Ge has prepared a serious gift for him, including this bouquet of flowers.

Brother Shi has been out for so long, and you just bought him a bouquet of flowers?

Xiao Deng: "Make a wish, make a wish!"

Shi Deng coughed: "Okay."

The young man closed his eyes, fireworks were blooming behind him, and the light from the candles reflected on his still youthful features. He made a wish that sounded the most ordinary and easiest to achieve.

"I wish that every year in the future will be like this day."

Chi Yu: "Hey, why did you say it out loud? It won't work now that you say it out loud."

Shi Deng raised his eyebrows, "It works just as I say."

Xiao Deng: “Ah~”

Shi Deng raised his hand and rubbed the edge of the cake, then rubbed it on Xiao Deng's nose in a lightning speed. Then he wheeled himself to hide behind Shi Ge and poked his head out: "Like an ugly little cat."

Xiao Deng was stunned.

"Time! Light!"

The child got angry and rushed over with his teeth and claws bared.

Shi Ge had no choice but to raise the forehead.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. A good cake was torn into pieces before anyone could even eat much of it.

There was a joyful atmosphere on the back cliff.

Everyone knows that tomorrow the marrow will be transported to the sea. Three days later, the energy of the marrow will disappear, and there will inevitably be a catastrophe.

But they all chose to forget about it.

The fireworks behind were dazzling and dazzling. Shi Deng quietly pulled Shi Ge's clothes. The latter turned his head and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Shi Deng handed over a bottle of orange juice and said, "Brother, you were out for so long, and you just bought me a bunch of flowers."

Shi Ge: "The sunflowers near the Tiangu training base. The flower shop there only has one source of supply. I remember you liked the sea of ​​flowers behind the training base."

He saw that the boy had a knotted look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

The bouquet of flowers was just a bonus gift; what he really wanted to give was in the glass bottle.

Shi Deng whispered, "I wanted to give you flowers, but you got there first."

Shi Ge was stunned for a moment, then touched his head and said, "I'll pay it back later."

Shi Deng: “Okay.”

Shi Deng raised the glass bottle in his hand to his eyes and found that the green stars inside were made of reed leaves, and there were strange fluctuations of the aura of the underworld on them.

"What is this?"

Shi Ge: "Maybe it's a little selfish."

Shi Deng said "oh" and became even more curious.

On the night of his birthday, Shi Deng looked in his room for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the secret of the green straw stars.

He gave up for the time being and put the sunflowers that Shi Ge gave him into a vase. As soon as they showed signs of withering, he reversed time and restored the flowers to their blooming state.

…

The second day.

The three people from Yuanting said goodbye to Shideng late.

They are part of the team escorting Yuan Sui to the sea. This time they leave, they will directly meet up with the team in City D, and then go to the coastal City of Shen Hu together.

Before leaving, Chi Yu deliberately avoided Shi Deng and went to see Brother Shi.

"What else have you not told me? You are the future. If this now changes, will you still exist?"

Shi Ge chuckled: "Are you so sure you will change?"

Chi Yu's eyes were deep, and he tapped his heart: "This is what I was told."

Intuition.

The smile on Shi Ge's face faded a little. After a long while, he said, "Shi Deng is still young, he..."

The following words were hidden in the wind and were not heard.

…

The essence cannot be transferred using supernatural powers, and ordinary transport vehicles cannot withstand the energy it dissipates.

When the escort team approached Shenhu City, they stopped to rest for a while.

In the past three days, Chi has been thinking about the unfinished words that Shi Ge said to him that day. The more I think about it, the more upset I feel. I really want to fly over and ask that guy again. He really deserves a beating for saying half a sentence.

Because Tiangu got the news in advance, the residents of Shenhu City had already been secretly relocated. They only told the outside world that it was for the convenience of escorting the Yuansui.

Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, so they packed up their things and left Shenhu City and went to their temporary residence.

Right now, there are only psychics in Shenhu City who are on high alert.

According to the time provided by the clock, the Yuan Sui completely lost its effectiveness at 7 o'clock in the evening.

…

17:45:16

Abyss light.

Shi Deng still couldn't see what was special about the green star, so he gave up and placed the glass bottle on the table.

Today is the day when the essence becomes ineffective.

Looking back, every time this day came, he would be very anxious, worried that his plan would not succeed and afraid to see his friend die in front of him again.

But this time he was very calm.

The polluted air accumulated in his heart was already enough, and he was absolutely sure that he could suppress the 'Yuan'.

He won't let anyone leave anymore.

He can protect everyone he cares about.

The boy was in a good mood and had dinner early. He sat in his wheelchair and served food to Shi Ge and Xiao Deng: "Eat more."

Xiao Deng was suspicious: "Shi Deng, are we not going to do anything this time?"

Shi Deng: "We are all together, isn't this great?"

Xiao Deng: "Yes, it's great. I like being with you. If everything goes smoothly this time, will I remember you when I go back to the past?"

Shi Deng smiled and avoided the question: "Eat."

Xiao Deng said "oh" sensibly and ate the food that Shi Deng picked for him.

Shi Ge lowered his eyes.

Uncle Fu was able to find some quiet time, so he sighed silently.

18:10:17

The smile on Shi Deng's face disappeared, and he picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.

He glanced at Shi Ge and Xiao Deng who were already unconscious, raised his hands, and the time chain climbed up in the blink of an eye, binding the two of them tightly.

Uncle Fu: "The drug is very effective, don't worry, Chief."

Shi Deng: “Yeah.”

If possible, he would like to transform Shi Ge and Xiao Deng into energy bodies and store them in Huangquan, but what he is going to do next requires Huangquan, and it would be risky if Shi Ge and Xiao Deng were in there.

He was unwilling to put them in any danger.

Shi Deng: "Uncle Fu, will you blame me?"

Uncle Fu had a loving look in his eyes. How could he blame the child he had been watching? "Chief, just do whatever you want to do. I'll be watching over them."

"Chief, you only need to know one thing: no matter where you are, I will find you and give you the best help I can."

"Xiao Deng is right. The more times I look back, the more I seem to become soft-hearted."

The boy supported himself on both sides of the wheelchair and slowly stood up. He refused Uncle Fu's help and walked step by step to Xiao Deng, reaching out and touching his face.

The child slept soundly and peacefully.

Feeling the approach of Shi Deng, he even lifted his head up and rubbed Shi Deng's palm unconsciously.

"I don't want Xiao Deng to suffer anymore. Brother Shi will take good care of him."

The boy muttered to himself.

His training yielded good results. By the time he reached Shi Ge's side, he had already covered more than ten steps.

But this time he only called out two words to Shi Ge: "Shi Deng."

The boy smoothed the long hair beside his ears and said, "I'll leave it to you from now on."

He looked for a long time before waving his hand. Shi Ge and Xiao Deng disappeared from the spot and reappeared on the beds in their rooms.

18:47:19

The boy used his special powers, and his walking posture subtly changed, becoming more upright and natural.

He was wearing just an ordinary black coat. Even his gray hair was braided into a few tiny braids on both sides with small bells hanging down. His heterochromia was not concealed much and actually looked very nice.

The young man opened the door and tilted his head slightly: "Uncle Fu, I'm leaving."

Uncle Fu stood in the shadow of the dining table, smiled and nodded, just like usual: "Come back soon."

The door closed softly.

Uncle Fu put away his smile, the old man looked towards the window, took off his reading glasses and wiped them.

Outside, thick clouds rolled in and rumbles of thunder were heard.

Every time when it doesn't rain, time goes back.

I don’t know if the rain will continue this time.

He just waits.

18:48:56

Abyssal underground.

The black mist locked by the chain of time has been churning endlessly, and cracks are faintly appearing on the surrounding chains, and it is shaking continuously.

Obviously, it was looking forward to and excited about what was about to happen.

Shi Deng showed up here at the right time, raised his hand expressionlessly and added another layer of lock to Yuanduo: "Noisy thing."

Yuan turned into the appearance of the previous leader, with black hair and black eyes, and a sneer on his pale face. He pulled the chain comfortably and said, "Noisy? Shi Deng, I hope you can hold back and keep silent when you beg for mercy later."

"Where is your brother? If I kill you, I will kill him."

Shi Deng: "Have you forgotten what it feels like to be a dog?"

Yuan's face darkened, then he smiled: "Remind me, I can't let you die too quickly later. I'm going to strip you of your clothes, cut your leg tendons, and make you crawl out of the abyss, so that everyone can see who is a dog."

His figure suddenly floated closer, and the chain was pulled to the limit before he could stop just in front of Shideng.

Their faces were very close.

The time lamp remained unmoved, as calm as a stone.

Yuan's malicious voice lingered in my ears: "If I had known earlier, when you first knelt at my feet and acted as servile as mud, I should have let this body kill you."

Shi Deng said calmly, "Shenhu City is a good place, near the sea. I won't go back in time this time, so you can be buried there."

Gradually, his temper was less exposed, and his tone of voice became more like Shi Ge's. When he spoke harshly and calmly, it made people feel a little scared.

Yuan narrowed his eyes and was a little hesitant for a moment.

Originally, it wanted to kill him before the time lamp went back in time, but now this cunning human said that he didn't want to go back in time. Could it be that he really had other plans?

But this hesitation was quickly dispelled by it.

Apart from the primordial marrow, there is nothing else in the world that can suppress it. When the primordial marrow disappears, its power will increase greatly and it is inevitable that it will break free from the shackles.

Three minutes before seven, the polluted air in the underground began to boil.

Shi Deng suddenly covered his heart, groaned, broke out in a cold sweat, and half-knelt down.

From his dirty heart emanated a scent that was extremely fragrant to Yuan. Yuan exclaimed, "The smell of pollution. Is there pollution in your body?"

Wisps of polluted air overflowed from the boy's heart, mixed with scattered smells of blood, wrapped in his own supernatural powers, and integrated into Yuan's body, becoming excellent fodder.

Yuan greedily swallowed the feed into his stomach.

The boy's face turned paler and paler, as if he couldn't believe that his body had suddenly become like this. He murmured, "I just... absorbed the black mist from a few polluted humans..."

Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "How foolish! You come to see me with such pollution on your body, just like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."

The chains of time that bound him slowly disappeared.

The polluted air rising from the surface roared and rushed into Yuan's body like a fish into the sea. Yuan's strength recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He struggled lightly, the chain broke, he walked barefoot to the clock light, and pinched his chin with one hand.

The next second, countless black mists penetrated into the boy's body, stirring in his blood vessels like steel needles.

The boy's pupils shrank for a moment, and he seemed to lose consciousness due to the pain.

"How could you make such a stupid mistake? Tokido, I originally wanted to kill you, but now I am satisfied with the way you have become my feed."

Yuan was extremely pleased and leaned over to pat Shi Deng's face.

The energy, a mixture of human supernatural powers, pure malice, and a polluted aura with just the right amount of blood, is truly delicious.

"Is this the blood from your heart?"

Yuan stretched out his finger and brought out the bloody smell, which turned into an almost undetectable blood mist.

When polluted air surges out from the heart, it is not so gentle, and it is inevitable that the heart will be damaged.

However, Yuan was cautious and let the black mist linger on Shi Deng's body, preventing him from making any other moves.

After making sure that Shi Deng was no threat, Yuan smiled and said slowly, "Shi Deng, who are you to this leader?"

The young man's eyelashes trembled slightly and his brows furrowed, as if he was brought back to some old memory.

After a moment, the boy smiled ingratiatingly and said obediently, "I will always be the most obedient dog at the leader's feet."

Yuan laughed out loud.

I just felt extremely happy.

This was truly the most satisfying time he had experienced since he was forced to go back so many times.

"Come on, show your friends what you look like!"
