Jiang Yimi stood there in a daze.
This familiar figure brought on countless emotions instantly.
After a long time, she came to her senses and rubbed her eyes.
Xu Wei looked at the man at the end of the street and saw Jiang Yimi's reaction:
"You know him? An old friend?"
"Well... old friend..." Jiang Yimi's voice was choked with sobs.
She had many doubts in her heart. Why did this person appear here
There are three people wearing masks, Bai Wu, Lin Rui, and the uncle.
But the aura of each person is completely different.
Jiang Yimi will never forget that seven hundred years ago, someone brought her out of despair and curse.
Xu Wei felt that the person in front of him was very powerful, perhaps even more powerful than himself, especially the aura of the other person, which finally made him realize where the familiar feeling came from -
The breath of time and space.
Although the masked man's expression could not be seen, his eyes softened a lot when he saw Jiang Yimi:
"I can't think of many acquaintances. There is one in Baichuan City, but I didn't expect that Baichuan City is so lively now."
“It’s really changed a lot here, isn’t it?”
No one responded. Jiang Yimi remained frozen in place, while Xu Wei continued to observe the masked man.
Until the masked man suddenly disappeared and appeared two meters in front of the two people:
"Not long ago... the barrier that bound me was suddenly lifted. I need a guide to tell me what happened in the past seven hundred years. Jiang Yimi, you should not have forgotten me, right?"
“No… I haven’t forgotten…” Jiang Yimi didn’t know how to face this person.
When you see someone you've missed for a long time, joy is not the most outward emotion.
The masked man said:
"If you have anything to ask, just ask it."
"Then let me ask you, who are you and where are you from? Why is your aura so close to mine? Why is my Xiao Jiang crying? Are you her ex-boyfriend?"
"Take off the mask and let me see it? Just a quick look is fine. You don't have any shameful secrets, do you?"
"Why did you show up just now? Where did you go before? Were you injured in a fight? That's not right. How could we, who have the power of time and space, be injured?"
Xu Wei talked incessantly, and at one point he was so talkative that Bai Wu wanted to throw this man into the sixth floor of the tower and let him be destroyed.
So Jiang Yimi knew very well that if no one interrupted this chatterbox... he would probably continue talking.
"Uncle Xu!" Jiang Yimi stopped Xu Wei.
Xu Wei smiled and said nothing more, but after his intervention, the tragic atmosphere of their encounter was diluted a lot.
Jiang Yimi was obviously much more normal.
The masked man, after thinking carefully about Xu Wei's question, said to Jiang Yimi:
"Remember why I told you I wore a mask?"
"I remember... you said you were so pretty."
“Hahahahaha… I really have no shame, hahahahahaha…”
A heroic laugh was heard, and Xu Wei also laughed along. He didn't know why, but he felt that he couldn't lose his momentum.
The two old men who had lived for more than 700 years just laughed like this, and then... suddenly the laughter stopped.
Because the masked man took off his mask.
A familiar but somewhat weathered face appeared in Jiang Yimi's sight.
The tears that had finally stopped burst out again.
Jiang Yimi rushed over regardless of anything, hugged the man directly, and started crying loudly.
Although the gray spots on this person's face made the whole face look extremely ugly, as if one side was a human face and the other side was covered with lifeless dead ashes.
But Jiang Yimi still recognized it by its outline.
She had heard Bai Wu mention it before, about Lin Rui, about the first generation...
Now she finally witnessed it with her own eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm back now, right? Let me think... Ah, I remember now, you must have felt very bad at that time, right?"
"The most evil principal has appeared, but I suddenly disappeared..."
Jiang Yimi cried even louder, and the first generation's eyes were full of tenderness:
"A lot of things happened later... but I should have finished what I started. I'm sorry."
After the fusion disease broke out, the first generation did not choose to go back to find Jiang Yimi, because other things happened at that time.
Fortunately, seven hundred years have passed, and Jiang Yimi is no longer the same Jiang Yimi.
Lin Rui, the first generation, are both the same person.
For Jiang Yimi, today's encounter almost swept away all the depression of these days.
Xu Wei drooped his face:
"I should be under the car."
Jiang Yimi blushed and stopped hugging the first generation:
"I...you...I..." She was about to say something but stopped herself.
The first generation was not in a hurry. After a while, Jiang Yimi said:
"I, what should I call you, uncle?"
Jiang Yimi still figured it out, even though Lin Rui and the first generation were the same person, and even in terms of sequence, Lin Rui came first.
But these two people, although they have many similarities, ultimately lead completely different lives.
"Keep calling me uncle, but you can also call me Lao K. That's what my old friends call me." Lao K put on his mask again.
Xu Wei carefully observed Lao K. As the owner of Time Return, he was very curious, whose space-time power was stronger, his own or the space-time power of the person in front of him
In fact, Lao K has also thought about this question.
However, Jiang Yimi asked another very concerned topic:
"How could you... suddenly appear after disappearing for seven hundred years?"
Bai Wu once promised to break that cycle.
Could it be that the cycle is broken
Was it Bai Wu who did it
Old K's bitter smile was hidden by the mask, and he then said:
"This is indeed... a very strange thing. In my memory, it seems that I have experienced countless deaths. But then..."
Before a certain person came along, this was the correct history.
When the first generation was seriously injured and dying, he met Lin Rui under the guidance of Jing Liu.
So before he died, he passed his power to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui gained power and eventually became the new masked monster. Seven hundred years later, he triggered the force of time and space while dealing with Jing Wu, and eventually died at the hands of Jing Si.
Then he went to the farm and became Lao K.
Old K met Lin Rui again before his death, thus forming a closed loop.
If you want to change the cause and effect, whether you stop Lao K or stop Lin Rui, it may cause huge changes in the whole world.
"What happened next, uncle? Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."
Xu Wei has been chattering these days, and has successfully made Jiang Yimi capture the conversation faster.
It’s like when a person watches a TV series and is used to watching it at double speed, and suddenly switches it back to the original speed, it will feel extremely slow.
Lao K said:
"Someone once told me that my fate formed a closed loop with another person's fate, and the cost of breaking the closed loop was extremely high."
"This person... is covered in gold. Sometimes I feel like Walter White is a person with light and shadow special effects, even though he isn't. I'm getting off topic, but anyway, this person is very shiny, and that bald head is also very shiny."
Jiang Yimi only knew one bald man, but her imagination, or rather everyone's imagination, could not equate Qian Yixin with the bald man mentioned by Lao K.
"Then what?" Jiang Yimi urged.
Old K still spoke at a steady pace:
“This person told me that although the closed loop is difficult to break, because of my final choice… this loop actually has a perfect entry point.”
"After I met my successor, I left and found a place to die quietly by myself."
"The bald old man told me that if I died, the loop would be closed, and if I didn't die... the loop would be broken."
Jiang Yimi felt it was a bit confusing.
But Xu Wei, who was always good at managing time, understood:
“Great!”
"It's really wonderful." Old K also admitted this.
The so-called closed loop, the process is first: one's own power is passed on to Lin Rui.
Secondly, he was separated from Lin Rui and died.
Then Lin Rui finally appeared on the farm and became himself in the form of a baby.
In the end, I met Lin Rui again... On the surface, this is a cycle.
But in reality, this cycle is not stable and there is a breaking point.
Seeing that Jiang Yimi didn't understand, Old K slowly explained the process of how he met the bald old man seven hundred years ago.
The bald old man said to Lao K at that time:
"What if you didn't die after passing on your power to Lin Rui?"
Old K remembers the conversation very clearly.
He was dying, and when he suddenly saw the bald old man and heard these words, he naturally felt that he didn't believe it and it was impossible.
"I am now seriously injured and cannot be cured... Even the power of time and space cannot save me. If my fate is really as you said... I cannot change this."
"The force of time and space can't save you, but I can."
Seven hundred years later, Old K still remembers the calm expression on the bald man's face when he said this. It was obviously a boast, but Old K managed to hear a kind of casual "nothing more than that" and "that's it" in his words.
"Who are you?"
"I am a friend of Bai Wu, the son of your old friend. One day in the future, Bai Wu will need your help. You must promise me that you will help Bai Wu."
It was a very obscure sentence, but Lao K could sense that this person was very capable:
"If it is as you said, then I will not exist in the next seven hundred years. And if I don't die... in the next seven hundred years, anything I do will change cause and effect."
The bald man smiled faintly, full of divinity:
"That's true. In the following timeline, until I die, if you show up during this process, or even if someone knows that you are still alive, it will cause the cause and effect to change. Under the butterfly effect, it is very likely that reality will change dramatically."
"So the solution is very simple. From now on, you will be considered dead. I will exile you to a place where no one can find you. Part of your power will be passed on, but with my help, it will eventually recover."
"For the next seven hundred years, you will practice peacefully in the place I found for you. You cannot leave that place before the time comes."
Is this possible? Seven hundred years ago, Old K could be considered one of the most powerful beings.
When he suddenly saw this bald man, he always felt that the other party seemed a little too exaggerated.
But the bald man just snapped his fingers, and the reversal aura that remained on Old K, which even the force of time and space could not expel... dissipated instantly.
"You don't have to question my strength. Before I traveled through time and space to find you, the person who severely injured you had already been defeated by me."
When hearing this, Lao K felt it was unreal.
Everything before my eyes is unreal.
It's like this world is very twisted and he can accept many strange people and powerful creatures.
But the style of the bald man in front of him still exceeded his imagination.
Jing Si was defeated
Could such a creature really exist
If there really is such a powerful being, does he need to save himself? He can solve all the chaos by himself.
Even myself, Old White, Little Fish, the Ten of Spades, and the existence that had previously given them inspiration... all the efforts we had made seemed like a joke in front of this kind of power.
In the face of absolute power, everything seems to have lost its meaning.
Of course, Old K didn't know that something like the will of the world would converge on mortals.
What's more, they don't know that no matter how powerful the bald man in front of them is, they can't change anything.
Even though the fireworks in the night sky are gorgeous, all they can do is prove that they existed.
After it goes out, the darkness remains.
The bald man didn't explain too much, and then used his actions to prove to Lao K that God really exists.
Over the next seven hundred years, his strength gradually recovered and even surpassed his previous peak.
But for seven hundred years, no matter how hard Old K tried, he was still unable to break through that golden space.
Can never go to the real world.
He tried many times to break through the space and use the force of time and space to travel to other time and space.
But no matter how hard you try... you end up back where you started.
So for seven hundred years, Old K has been constantly improving himself in this vast yet boring space.
This was undoubtedly an agonizing process, just like countless evildoers being trapped in one place for seven hundred years.
But Old K had a strong ability to endure, and in the end, he survived seven hundred years.
When the golden barrier was broken, the world had changed.
Lao K went to many places, including Denglin City.
There are only endless ruins and many powerful evil spirits in Denglin City. Not long ago, it seemed like a war broke out in Denglin City.
Old K didn't investigate further and the next place he went to was Baichuan City.
So finally, at this moment, he met Jiang Yimi.
Seven hundred years later, since disappearing from Baichuan campus due to fusion disease, Jiang Yimi and the first generation masked monster finally meet again.
After listening to the whole story, Jiang Yi finally understood the logic behind it.
It's just that this is all really unbelievable.
Xu Wei was even more stunned:
"I know that there are people in this world who can use the power of origin to change the rules of time and space, instead of being restricted to certain abilities like the sequence... But spanning time and space for seven hundred years?"
"And it was a precise leap... Are you making this up? How can a bald guy be so powerful?"
Lao K can understand the reactions of these two people, but for him, it is time to put this topic behind him:
"We should have a lot to talk about. As someone who has been offline for seven hundred years, I believe there must be a lot of things I need to know in these seven hundred years."
Old K patted Jiang Yimi on the shoulder:
"As for my experience, it still goes like this: heroes never die. Jiang Yimi, I'm back."
"Now, I need to know what is happening in this world."
