Richard followed the administrator and strangers sneaking into the mine, and finally discovered their identity and purpose.

These people are all cultists, affiliated with a cult called David, and have a close relationship with the Bronte Mining Company.

The cultists came to the remote town of Centralia to summon evil gods to come in the mine.

Richard himself was a man with a sense of justice, and at the same time felt that this was a trial given to him by his mother's body, so he was ready to stop the cultists' summoning ceremony.

However, the cultists are not in a hurry to start the summoning ceremony, and they have not found the most suitable location in the mine.

At the same time, Richard, an outsider, also aroused their vigilance.

After all, it is strange that a remote town like Centralia, and a place specializing in mining, suddenly a writer comes to settle down.

Richard realized that he had aroused suspicion, and in order not to be driven away, he began to pretend to be crazy and stay in the town.

After the mine manager monitored him for a long time, he decided that this guy was really crazy and did not pay extra attention to him.

After spending this year, the cultists finally found the most suitable location in the mine, which is the location of the door.

This position comes from the revelation received by a highly respected prophet in their church.

The Davidic Church secretly developed a senior executive of the Bronte Mining Company into a believer. With the help of the other party, he could successfully enter the mine through the administrator.

Otherwise, the mines of this era belonged to the private territory of mining companies, and workers even had a large number of guns and weapons. If they forced into it, they would be fed peanuts.

One day in mid-1962, Bronte Company specially gave the mine workers a holiday, and hundreds of cultists quietly entered the mine.

Richard also secretly followed into the mine, watching the cultists dig the mine a little deeper, find the door's location, and build an altar on the spot.

Richard originally wanted to stop him directly, but the other party was large in number and carried weapons. He was also curious about what scenes this group of cultists would create, so he chose to watch patiently.

Then, he saw a scene that would never be forgotten for life.

The cultists began a summoning ceremony and successfully made the door that had only been in its prototype appear.

As soon as the door appeared, even though it had not been opened, the terrifying evil god's power penetrated out of the door.

The cultists gathered in the mine immediately turned into monsters under the pollution of the evil god's power.

The power of the evil god spreads out along the mine and begins to cover the entire town of Centralia.

Richard, who was in the mine, realized that the situation was wrong and it was too late to run away.

The power of the evil god invaded his body and polluted his mind.

At the last moment of death, the mother's body gave Richard a glimmer of hope for life.

Using him as a medium, the power of his mother's body was released and turned into monsters to attack the polluted residents of the town, and finally ignited underground fires and destroyed the entire town.

But this can only solve the power infiltrated by the evil gods, and cannot solve the door discovered by the cultists.

Finally, the mother's body turned into a semi-independent subspace, wrapped the town of Centralia, and discovered Richard's ability to control time, allowing the town to enter a state of constant reincarnation, thereby preventing the door from opening.

Although Richard survived, at the cost, he could only stay in the town of Centralia forever and could not leave, because the reincarnation here was constructed with his ability.

The lack of strength of the mother's body can only create a semi-independent subspace, which leads to a part of the town of Centralia in reality, and people outside can enter the town of Centralia through this part.

So all the investigators sent by the Homeland Security Bureau were caught in it and accompanied Richard through half a century of reincarnation.

After listening to Richard's explanation, Fang Cheng and Isis finally understood why he refused to tell the truth and refused to hand over his mother's body.

The situation here is of great value to the outside world, whether it is the mother's body or the door.

Richard was worried that Fang Cheng was sent by the government or cult, and no matter which one it was, it might cause him trouble.

The mother's body is the basis for Richard's life. After being polluted by the power of the evil god, he relied on his mother's power to keep using the cycle of time to maintain his life.

Leaving the mother's body and closing the cycle of reincarnation means that his life will also come to an end.

After learning the truth, Fang Cheng and Isis did not feel relaxed.

It seems impossible to force Richard to hand over his mother's body or stop reincarnation, after all, he is relying on this to maintain his life.

But if we do not stop reincarnation, it will be difficult for Fang Cheng and Isis to find the right time to go out.

Now the time for the entire town of Centralia to connect with the outside world is chaotic, and Richard himself cannot leave, and he does not know the time for the outside world to connect with.

While Fang Cheng and Isis were thinking about countermeasures, Richard asked on his own initiative: "Can you tell me how long it has been gone?"

Fang Cheng casually replied: "It's been sixty years."

Fearing that Richard didn't believe it, Fang Cheng took out his cell phone and showed him the time and explained the function of the cell phone.

Richard played with his cell phone curiously for a while and handed it back to Fang Cheng, and he suddenly became very disappointed.

"It turns out... it's been... more than sixty years..."

He was not happy because he had lived for more than sixty years, but was sad because he was trapped in this place for so long.

Especially I don’t know how long this day after day will last.

Fang Cheng and Isis have a strong observation of details, and there is no way to see Richard's current emotions.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand that being trapped in this broken place for more than 60 years, repeating the same thing day after day, even those who stay home can't bear it.

Richard's current emotions are obviously an opportunity. If you grasp them well, you can directly solve the problem.

Fang Cheng made a quick decision and said, "If I give you a chance to live, would you be willing to hand over your mother's body to us?"

Richard looked at him in shock and blurted out subconsciously: "Really?"

When Richard said this, he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

Fang Cheng smiled slightly: "Of course there is no problem."

He directly initiated a trade request to Richard and exchanged his life for his ability to manipulate time.

Richard was slightly stunned when he noticed the deal.

He didn't know whether to lose money or not, but at least Fang Cheng didn't lie to him.

Seeing Richard fall into silence, Fang Cheng did not urge him.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Fang Cheng is not in a hurry at all after knowing the whole truth.

Even if Richard refused to agree, Fang Cheng could use the system's annual forced trading opportunity to seize Richard's ability to manipulate time.

Without the ability to control time, the cycle of reincarnation in Centralia will be automatically lifted.

Richard didn't know that Fang Cheng had a backup plan in his heart. He was silent for a while before asking, "Can you tell me your origin?"

Although he was completely bored with this endless cycle of reincarnation, he did not want to hand over his mother's body to the cult elements.

If Fang Cheng and Isis turned around and opened the door after getting their mother's body, then Richard would be a muggle, and the persistence of these sixty years is meaningless.

Fang Cheng knew what he was worried about and explained his identity.

He didn't say in detail, just telling him that he and the evil god are irreconcilable enemies.

Richard believed, or rather, he was willing to believe, and found a reason for himself to tell the past.

"I hope you can properly resolve the matters of the door."

Richard sighed: "I'm tired, I really can't hold on anymore."

After saying that, he agreed to Fang Cheng's transaction request and used the ability to manipulate time to exchange for a life.

The transaction was completed instantly, and the ability to control the continuous reincarnation of Centralia Town came to Fang Cheng at once.

Life:-1

Remaining: 11460

Time control +1

Fang Cheng instantly felt the connection with his mother's body, and his ability to cross the cracks also came to him along with the transaction.

The situation in the entire town of Centralia, tens of thousands of reincarnations and time points, all appeared in Fang Cheng's heart.

Without hesitation, he forced himself to end the cycle of reincarnation.

The entire town of Centralia immediately changed drastically.

As time passes by, the residents quickly resurrect and then turn into monsters, followed by underground fires appearing, swallowing the town.

When the flames gradually faded, the town burned into ruins was surrounded by poisonous fog.

Tens of thousands of reincarnations and time points disappeared with Fang Cheng's forced end, and in the end only the original form was left, the only town of Centralia, which returned to the normal time point.

However, the town of Centralia is also wrapped in a semi-independent subspace formed by the mother's body.

After losing the ability to manipulate time and the power of his mother's body, Richard, who was contaminated by the power of the evil god, turned black and fell into death directly.

However, the life that Fang Cheng traded to him immediately had an effect, allowing the dead Richard to quickly resurrect.

"It turned out to be true..."

The resurrected Richard looked down at his hands, and kept stroking his body, with ecstasy on his face.

He has been threatened by death for so many years, and now he has finally escaped from the threat. You can imagine his mood.

But he still looked at Fang Cheng and Isis very vigilantly, for fear that the two of them would go back on their word.

Now he does not have the ability to cross the cracks at any time, and even without the help of his mother's physical strength, his strength has also dropped to about level B.
