Chapter 1903 Time Travel [Ending 1]
The secret room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and Huo Yao did not stop his actions because of Sheng Ying's words. However, when the silver needle was about to penetrate the acupuncture point on Shangguan Wei's chest, he refused.
"He's right, hurry up and leave here..." Shangguan Wei shook his head. The loss of vitality made even his words sound like his last struggle.
He was very clear about his physical condition at this time, and he knew that once the mechanism behind him started working, there was no possibility of stopping halfway.
Because paying with one's life is the way to start traveling back in time.
Huo Yao half-knelt in front of Shangguan Wei, her fingers holding the silver needle turning bluish white. She paused for only two seconds, as if she didn't hear what he said, and continued to quickly insert the needle into the acupuncture point on his chest.
However, after the acupuncture, Shangguan Wei's condition did not improve.
Her vitality dissipated too quickly. If she hadn't been holding on to her last breath, she would have died long ago... Huo Yao's eyelashes were slightly blinked, and it was impossible to see the emotions in her eyes, but her fingertips trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Give up, Yu'er," Shangguan Wei said bitterly, "It's useless."
Huo Yao took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Sheng Ying who was standing there.
This unfamiliar face was not at all similar to the gentle, benevolent person in my memory, yet in a trance they seemed to be the same person.
Many things that were diluted by time gradually became clear at this moment. It turns out that there are people who can interpret boundless love and ruthless indifference perfectly.
"Why?" Huo Yao asked the same question again.
Sheng Ying met Huo Yao's gaze and said, "I thought you would ask me how to save their lives."
Huo Yao heard this, and his eyes finally showed other fluctuations. He opened his mouth and said, "Conditions."
Sheng Ying's eyes fell on the stone platform. At this time, the patterns on the platform were all filled with red. He pursed his lips and looked at Huo Yao again, "You know what Master wants."
Calling him "Master" was tantamount to personally acknowledging his identity. Huo Yao laughed to himself, and the last glimmer of hope left in his heart disappeared.
It seems that the person who guided her to find the meteorite in the underground palace was undoubtedly him.
After all, apart from her master, there is probably no one else who is most familiar with the structure of the mechanism.
If she could come back to life again, why couldn't her master be alive too?
She should have guessed it.
Huo Yao stood up and took out a box from his pocket.
Of course she already knew what Sheng Ying wanted.
When Sheng Ying saw her actions, the emotions surging in his eyes were almost unconcealed.
He has waited too long for this day.
"Give it to me." Sheng Ying's voice was filled with excitement, and he stretched out his hand directly towards Huo Yao.
"Don't give it to him." Shangguan Wei, who was standing aside, didn't know where he got the strength from. He leaned forward, but his body fell uncontrollably to the ground. His exposed back was wet, and his gray robe had already been dyed dark red.
Shangguan Wei tried hard to look up at Huo Yao, "...Once the time-space reversal mechanism is activated, it can no longer be stopped. It will be useless even if you give the thing to him."
Sheng Ying glanced at Shangguan Wei, but did not refute him.
Because he knew Huo Yao's character very well, she would never give up even if there was only a slight chance of saving people.
"What method can save people?"
Sure enough, Huo Yao's low voice was heard.
Sheng Ying raised the corner of his lips and said, "As long as we can successfully start the time-space reversal, the fate of several of them can be changed."
After a pause, as if with temptation, he added: "Just like you were back then."
Huo Yao's pupils narrowed, and it was obvious that the last sentence had successfully touched her.
But before she could say anything, Shangguan Wei interrupted her again, "If fate could really be reversed, I'm afraid you wouldn't be like this now."
Shangguan Wei's most complicated feeling at this moment was because he had never thought that Yu'er's master was still alive.
Clearly, in order to rescue Yu'er, he had finally found a meteorite from outer space, and at the cost of his own life, he forcibly opened the time-travel channel, but who would have thought that he was still alive?
Moreover, he appeared in such a strange side, and the ambition that was not concealed in his eyes was almost frightening. He was completely different from the person he was familiar with.
Shangguan Wei was in a trance, or perhaps they had never really understood him.
"It's because you don't understand." Facing Shangguan Wei's question, Sheng Ying just showed a mysterious smile, then turned to look at Huo Yao, "Two stones for four lives, Master's condition is very cost-effective for you."
His voice was very calm, as if he was just talking about an insignificant transaction, but Huo Yao clearly felt the ruthlessness and coldness in it.
After spending most of their lives together, Huo Yao was treated like this. He felt indescribably sad.
After a while, she met Sheng Ying's gaze and said coldly, "My master is dead."
That learned and well-meaning man had long ago died while trying to extend the life of his apprentice, and no one could replace him.
"He is indeed dead." Sheng Ying nodded, as if he was not talking about himself. His expression changed, and he continued: "But aren't you curious about the meaning of your existence?"
"Shut up, don't say any more..." Shangguan Wei lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, trying to stop Sheng Ying from continuing, "If you still have a conscience, don't destroy the last bit of faith that child has."
When Shangguan Wei knew that he was Yu'er's master, a terrible thought came to his mind.
The time-space retracing mechanism was passed down from Shangguan Yi's ancestors. He was not sure how many years it had existed, but he knew that his ancestors had gone to the future and returned to the past because of this mechanism.
However, going to the future and the past goes against common sense, and the price to pay is extremely high, so that all the people in the Shangguan family ended up dying a miserable death, so this secret room was completely sealed.
It was not until Yu'er got into trouble a few years ago that her master proposed to reopen the secret room and use the only meteorite preserved in the tribe to start the time travel.
Later, when he came out of the secret room again, he was only breathing his last breath. He handed them a piece of white jade and died.
No one knew what he did in the secret room that year, because no one in the tribe would suspect that he had other purposes.
Now that I think about it, maybe Yu'er's death was planned by him?
Shangguan Wei didn't dare to guess any deeper. If the truth was like this, it would be too cruel for Yu'er.
No one can accept being stabbed in the back by the person they respect and trust the most, especially when that child is a sentimental person.
Sheng Ying glanced at Shangguan Wei, his face showing no emotion at all. Instead, he sneered and said, "She should be grateful that I gave her a second life."
destroy?
The only purpose of this thing he cultivated was to complete the mission it was supposed to accomplish.
The words that Shangguan Wei heard were so ruthless and cold that they made him feel cold all over. He stretched out his hand with difficulty and raised it in the direction of Huo Yao, as if he wanted to comfort her, but his life force was gone, and his wrinkled hand finally fell down powerlessly.
Huo Yao's mind buzzed, and he grabbed his hand a second before it fell, his voice trembling: "Old Wei..."
Shangguan Wei's pupils were no longer focused. He just stared blankly into space and said softly, "Don't be sad. Everyone will die one day, but you have to live well..."
Huo Yao's heart ached and he wanted to save him, but he found that he was unable to do so. All the medical skills he knew seemed to be of no use at this moment.
Sheng Ying, who was standing next to him, looked at the lifeless Shangguan Wei, his eyes still without any emotion, as if he was a cold machine.
Because he had only one goal from beginning to end, which was to get the two stones from his apprentice.
As for other people's lives, he didn't care at all.
So when Huo Yao didn't notice, Sheng Ying moved. However, before he could get close to Huo Yao, he was stopped by Min Yu, who had not said a word since he followed him in.
Sheng Ying looked at Min Yu coldly, no longer having the patience to wait any longer, "Don't you want your father's life?"
Min Yu stood in front of Huo Yao, with a fierce momentum, and was not threatened by Sheng Ying. "You can try to touch him."
The two looked at each other, with tensions drawn.
At this moment, Zhuo Yun, who was covered in wounds, strode in from the door of the secret room and said, "Brother Yu, the professor and the others have found him. He is fine."
As he spoke, he glanced at Huo Yao, who was almost half-kneeling on the ground, and the old man in front of her who was obviously dead, and his heart was slightly startled.
Min Yu hummed lightly and said, "Take the person out."
Zhuo Yun quickly withdrew his gaze, nodded in understanding, turned around and left.
"How do we start the time travel?" Huo Yao gently put Shangguan Wei's hand down, stood up, looked directly at Sheng Ying, and took out the two jade stones again, "Use them?"
When Sheng Ying saw the two pieces of jade, his eyes were filled with excitement. "Yes, this is the key. As long as we can turn back time and space and go back to before they were on the verge of death to revive them, we can change their fate."
"So Lu Xia's rebirth was also your work?" Huo Yao asked.
"What Lu Xia?" It took Sheng Ying a while to remember who Lu Xia was. The corners of his lips twitched, "She is just a mistaken existence."
Who could have thought that the two children would be taken away by mistake, which almost caused the experiment to fail during the period when he started to go back in time.
Fortunately, the impact was not that big in the end, and facts have proved that resurrection from the dead and even achieving eternal life is entirely possible.
Sheng Ying turned his head and looked at the stone platform filled with red blood patterns, which was the starting platform for time and space travel. Suddenly, he was not so anxious to get the two pieces of jade.
After all, his apprentice should be more anxious than him.
Huo Yao's gaze finally followed and looked over. Looking at the round hole in the center of the stone platform, she pinched the things in her hand and resolutely chose to walk over.
"The dead cannot be resurrected." Min Yu grabbed Huo Yao forcefully, not letting her get close to the stone platform, "Huo Yao, wake up."
The main text will be finished in the next two days, and other plot holes will be filled in the extra chapters one after another, so nothing will be missed o(╥﹏╥)o
