Staring at Situ An’s face, Gao Yun paused and said lightly, “I don’t want to fight you either, but you always stand in my way. Gao Ming will be here soon. There’s still ti for you to run.”
“You… should be the one to run.” Situ An seed to rember sothing. He didn’t attack Gao Yun. Instead, he looked around.
Things went out of script. Gao Yun rembered that during the previous seventeen rewinds, Situ An would say, ‘It’s Gao Ming who should run’.
Why did it change? Did Situ An discover sothing?
Ever since he left the tunnel, no one could detect Gao Yun’s power. This was Gao Yun’s own rules.
Licking the blood on his lips, Situ An’s eyes lingered on the recent corpse that was strung up beside the pillar. The black faith under his skin surged. His consciousness blurred. His fingers closed around the chains. Situ An’s expression was strange. It seed like he was trying his best not to smile.
Gao Yun frowned as he reached into his pocket. He detected that Situ An was sensing sothing.
“Pierced through the soul and wounded all over, I’ve been tornted so much in the torture room.” Situ An touched the remaining chains on him. “However, I’ve never given up. Even if there’s just a sliver of possibility, I will do my best to survive.”
“Ramble on. Gao Ming will be here soon. I share with you so bad news. He has already left the God of the Past’s apartnts and reached this place.” Gao Yun’s expression returned to normal. He was numb to everything. There was no extra emotion in his eyes.
“I hate rambling the most. If you think I’m just shooting the wind with you, then it ans you are not far from death.” Situ An carefully diagnosed his soul. As if confirming sothing, the smile on his face couldn’t be repressed anymore, “I’ve waited so long for this mont!”
The black faith under his skin had accumulated to a frightening degree. Cracks appeared on his skin. The presence he exuded this ti was scarier than before. It was as if he was faking it the previous tis.
“I don’t know your trump card, and I don’t know what I’ll face. However, I have a suspicion about everything, including myself.” Situ An’s voice trembled from either the pain or the excitent. “My mory is normal, and my body hasn’t changed. Your power is very special, but you’ve overlooked one thing.”
Gao Yun didn’t react.
“You have forget many things, but your power can only target one individual. You can’t make both the chains that represent Gao Ming, and I forget everything.” Situ An had no idea what Gao Yun’s real power was, but this astute man noticed the details, “My body is pierced by eighteen chains. Each of them is carved with the nas of the people who I’ve tortured to death. I have to suffer their tornt day and night. However… Look at how many chains are left on .”
Gao Yun’s power only worked on one target. Situ An lost his mory, but with each rewind, he used the power of the God of the Future to impact the binds on himself and weaken the chains. This madman probably noticed the problem during the second rewind, but he chose to remain silent. With each rewind and mory loss, he confird his plan. Situ An had absolute faith in himself. He trusted himself at every mont. That was why he ca up with this plan.
“Even though I have a divine contract with the God of the Future, it never plans to let go. Without your help, it wouldn’t have exhausted its power to blast off the chains every ti. This cunning God even plans to use that to control !” Situ An didn’t waste ti. The remaining chains on him were filled with cracks. Only one chain was rather intact. “Gao Yun, thank you for helping regain freedom!”
“You’re welco. Even if you know the answer, I’ll still do the sa.” Gao Yun said calmly, “I am corroding the figurine of the God of the Future. Your every rewind will help deplete its power. That’s why I’ve let you be.”
Situ An was doing this for freedom, and Gao Yun’s aim was to control the vessel of the God of the Future. They were nesis, but they shared a unique bond. When the conspiracy was pointless, they would force the other to do sothing beneficial to them. So what if they had been seen through?
“Equivalent exchange is built on mutual sacrifice. I don’t believe you can use your power without any sacrifice. Now, the scale is tipping.” Then, Situ An’s arms and back were torn apart. Eyes opened in his wounds. This was his first ti manipulating the power given to him by the God of the Future at full force. “Without your help, I can’t possibly escape. To show my appreciation, I will bury you and Gao Ming here.” The flesh in the parking lot grew rapidly. The headless figurine raised its arms to mimic Situ An’s pose.
The weakened chains crumbled. Only one chain that cut through his scapula was unhard. However, as Situ An cackled wildly, endless black threads crawled out of his body to curl around this last chain.
Gao Yun’s eyes dimd. He walked towards Situ An. Once he sacrificed his body, he could use rewind again.
“No wonder you’re not scared. Death is the price you have to pay.” Situ An and the headless figurine closed their palms together. The other corpses moved with them. They closed their eyes and chanted a sutra. The palpable scent of death ford a giant hand to hold Gao Yun. Situ An didn’t kill Gao Yun. He only detained him. After doing that, Situ An focused on destroying the last chain as he tried to locate Gao Yun’s actual body.
“You and Gao Ming call evil. You sacrifice the living every ti you use your power. How are you any different from ?”
Situ An’s eyes darted about. Thus far, he had no idea what Gao Yun’s actual body was or if he was even still a human.
“People beco more talkative as they get older.” Gao Yun’s voice didn’t change. As he was about to continue, he suddenly whipped his head around.
On one of the walls, soone had dug out a hole. One could barely see Fan Li who was holding back Xia Yang, who wanted to crawl into the underground parking lot.
