19. Eternity(1/2)

"He's dead."

Lin Shuo stood in front of Xia Yi's head, watching the smile appearing on the corner of his mouth after his eyes gradually dissipated in the sun, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the "mysterious power" that had been hidden in himself and would only be activated every day when restarting, and suddenly fluctuated for a moment, covering his eyes.

Some changes seem to have occurred in his horizon.

Then, he saw a strange substance that was as illusory as mist suddenly floated out of Xia Yi's corpse, condensed together on its own, turning into a large number of substance-containing particles, and falling on the ground one after another.

Soon a small pile of slightly illusory and transparent sand formed.

"Sand of Time?" Lin Shuo understood.

"This is the sand of time."

Tong Momo next to him hugged his arms with both hands, looked at Shi Zhisha on the ground, and nodded slightly, "It seems that although this evil eagle's time talent is a preliminary awakening, it should have been exercised for a long time, and it has formed so much Shi Zhisha... Although it is just the most ordinary quality, it is also very good."

"How should I absorb it?" Lin Shuo asked.

"You can absorb it when you touch the sand of time, and probably won't absorb much, and your abilities can stabilize."

Tong Momo said, holding his hands and fingers in front of his chest, looking at Lin Shuo with his eyes, "We will just share the remaining Shi Zhisha after you absorb it? You can do the most, you can get 80% and give me a little bit of soup?"

"Leave it all for you."

Lin Shuo shook his head slightly and said, "If I had no you, I would not be able to leave, so I would consider it as a reward."

"How can that work?" Tong Momo immediately said: "Let's do it, 55, we are half of each one."

"It's up to you." Lin Shuo did not refuse either.

He originally wanted to use this thing as an apology for killing her eight times before, but she didn't want to, so let it go.

Tong Momo smiled and said, "I'm welcome. I'm just about to change into two fitting clothes. Thank you."

Lin Shuo didn't say anything, walked to the small pile of Shizhisha and squatted down, then slowly stretched out his hand, touching Shizhisha with his fingertips.

The mysterious power that was dormant in his body was immediately activated and surged out along his fingers.

The small pile of sand at the time seemed to melt, and suddenly turned into a strange mist, quickly integrating into the mysterious power in his body.

After a while, the pile of time sand in front of me disappeared by one quarter.

Lin Shuo also felt that the mysterious power had become much clearer, from almost unable to sense it to his ability to clearly sense its existence, it seemed to have stabilized.

He could feel... with just one thought, he could trigger this mysterious power.

"How is it? Is it stable?" Tong Momo asked.

"Um."

Lin Shuo nodded slightly and said, "Now I can control it to start it independently."

"What is the form that your time talent brings to you?" Tong Momo said curiously.

"Form?" Lin Shuo glanced at her.

"Everyone has different time and strength, and its shape is different." Tong Momo said: "Some are snakes, some are rivers, some are candles, bells... all kinds of them are available, just start them to know."

Lin Shuo suddenly remembered that every time his ability was activated, countless illusory things would appear in his mind.

But it was too illusory and he couldn't see clearly what it was.

"Or why don't you try?" Tong Momo suggested.

Lin Shuo pondered for a moment, nodded, took out his cell phone first, and turned on the detailed time.

It's November 10th at 12:15:11 am.

Then, his mind moved, and he activated his mysterious power of time.

In just a moment, under his eyes, everything around him seemed to stop, and the time on his phone stopped for 11 seconds.

Then, he felt a flash in front of his eyes and "see" countless illusory things emerging in his mind.

Sundials, hourglass, water clocks, mechanical clocks, quartz clocks, digital electronic clocks, atomic clocks...

Everything he knows about for measuring time can be found in his mind at this time, and countless timekeeping tools are frozen at the beginning, that is, 0.

Immediately afterwards, all the timing tools suddenly began to change.

The shadow of the sundial changes rapidly, the hourglass pours out sand at an astonishing speed, the hands on the clock rotate at an extremely fast speed, and the digital time on the electronic clock is also flashing and changing...

The sound of water drops, the sound of sand falling, the sound of gear rotation... At this time, it became extremely rapid.

Time keeps jumping, like a patient with hemorrhoids who have been killed for thousands of years.

In a trance, Lin Shuo felt a mysterious force carrying his consciousness, traveling through the winding and illusory gap of time, as if he was traveling towards the future.

He could feel that he could stop at any time as long as he wanted.

This means that he can travel to any moment in the future, as long as he does not exceed the limit.

However, Lin Shuo wanted to try how far the future he could jump to.

Here, time is a unit of length.

The countless timing tools are constantly changing, and the time scales they cross are getting bigger and bigger.

but--

When time traveled through the distance of 11 hours, 45 minutes and 48 seconds, this mysterious power was consumed only half, and the countless timing tools came to an abrupt end.

It's like a clock with a gear stuck, or like a cut-off river of time, and you can no longer move forward.

Lin Shuo could feel that the farther future was a dead nothingness.

Start traveling from around 12:00 a.m. on the 10th, and jumping to the early morning of the 11th. The power of time has been consumed nearly half of it, and it’s over?

Lin Shuo thought for a moment and then understood vaguely.

Originally, this mysterious power could allow him to travel 24 hours later, but he stopped in 11 hours, 45 minutes and 48 seconds because from this time on, he... will no longer exist in the future!

That is...death.

He tried to retreat for a "one minute" scale, and let the mysterious power relax his consciousness.

Immediately, Lin Shuo's consciousness gradually became clear in the chaos, and countless illusory timing tools disappeared, and his vision suddenly became clear.

As he expected, he was in the school dormitory at this time, sitting at the desk under the bed.

The desk lamp with faint light in front of me illuminates the cartoon posters on the wall.

The electronic clock on the wall was 0:00:00 on November 11, 2013.

He broke the cage of time again and traveled to 'Tomorrow'!

Then, a slightly teasing voice sounded from the side:

"Brother, I'm sorry, my buddy is going to be Singles' Day this year. Hey, what's the use of being handsome? You still..."

Before he could finish the voice that had been repeated countless times, Lin Shuo clenched his fists habitually, punched him smoothly, and gave him a conventional "little red flower".

"Ouch!"

Roommate Ren Yan cried out in pain. Before he could finish the rest of his words, he covered his nose and fell to the ground, staring at him blankly.

"Brother, this may be the last time I hit you."

Lin Shuo looked at his roommate sincerely and sighed: "I'm leaving. I'm going to hit you next time. I don't know how long it will take, and I'm still a little uncomfortable..."

Ren Yan looked at him in a daze, completely unable to understand.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to save you and try to punch you hard in the 'real tomorrow'."

Lin Shuo smiled at him slightly, and without saying anything, he got up and walked to the balcony of the dormitory.

Above the night sky, the faint mist is dissipating.

He thought silently in his heart.

"It seems that once my time power is activated, I can travel to the future, spanning up to twenty-four hours."

"Before my ability is stable, I can't control myself to stop shuttles, so every time I restart 0:00:1 second, I will start directly when the ability wakes up. After 24 hours of being unable to stop crossing to the limit, it is 0:00:1 second on Singles' Day in 'Tomorrow'."

"And now, after my ability is stable, I can travel to any moment within the next 24 hours, just like there are more front and back arrow keys..."

"In theory, I started from 12:15:11 am on the 10th, and the limit should be that I can travel to 12:15:11 am on the 11th, but I just crossed the time scale of 11 hours, 45 minutes and 48 seconds, so I couldn't move forward."

"Calculate the time, at 12:15:11 in the morning on the 10th, plus 11 hours, 45 minutes and 48 seconds, it is exactly 0:1 in Singles' Day."

"Well, it's only one second away from the extinction."

"It's a bit strange that only one second is missing. This day in the time cycle has always been one second and one second is missing?"

"Hiss, don't worry about this for the time being..."

"It seems that the prerequisite for traveling to the future is... at the time when I travel to the future, the 'I of the future' is still alive."

"But, I don't know yet, how long can I stay in the 'future' if I'm not dead?"

"I'll try this next time, I've only consumed half of my time power..."

Lin Shuo stood in front of the railing of the balcony, watching the fog in the endless night dissipate, and thoughts flashed through his mind.
To be continued...
