20. Snake
In chaos, consciousness that transcends the future returns to reality again.
The countless illusory timing tools disappeared, and Lin Shuo found himself back to the hospital department. On the mobile phone screen in front of him, the line was still at 12:15:11 on November 10, and he had just started to move.
"After the ability is activated, no matter how long it takes to travel, is it just a moment now..."
Lin Shuo thought about it and then tried to activate his ability again, but found that the mysterious power was just lying dormant in his body, recovering little by little with time, and was not activated.
"So that's it. Can this ability be activated when it needs to be fully valued?"
He vaguely understood, "It's just... less than half of it was consumed, how long does it take to recover?"
He squatted on the ground, and as time passed, he carefully sensed it, and after a while, he finally made sure.
"Well, traveling through twenty-four hours just consumes all the power. After traveling through more than eleven hours and spending nearly half of the power, you need to wait for more than eleven hours to recover."
Lin Shuo suddenly realized, "In other words, the future I have to wait for as long as I have crossed, to recover."
He couldn't help but have some idea of cleverly using this ability, but he just needed to restore his ability and continue to try it.
He didn't want to do that much, so he stood up and said, "Okay."
"The experiment was completed so soon?"
Tong Momo's eyes lit up, "What is the form your ability brings to you?"
"Clocks." Lin Shuo said casually: "Where are you?"
"A snake biting its tail." Tong Momo said with a smile: "Guess what my abilities are?"
"I haven't seen you use it, maybe I can't use it?" Lin Shuo glanced at her and said, "The Utrombon snake symbolized 'infinity'. You said you were thirty-nine years old and your body was like a teenager. Could it be that you are going back to the past? Is it like the Tianshan Tonglao?"
"Yes, my ability can go back to my physical state, and in theory, as long as I want, I can stay in this state forever."
Tong Momo shook his head slightly again, "It's a pity... that night demon's deprivation of senses is a continuous mental injury. I am afraid of affecting your plan, so I dare not use it randomly until the critical moment."
"Can you live forever?" Lin Shuo looked at her in surprise.
"That's right."
Tong Momo sighed again, "But every time I go back to my own state, my memory will also go back. If it weren't for the consumption of my ability, I wouldn't even know that I had gone back to my state. So if I had to live forever, the price was... I would never be able to know new people, I would never be able to make progress, and if I was killed in an instant, I would not be able to go back."
Lin Shuo suddenly realized.
This is actually a bit similar to the current situation in Jiangsu City. No matter how long the outside world has been, Jiangsu City will always be on this day.
Tong Momo's ability can be used on his own initiative.
"No wonder you are not like thirty-nine years old at all." Lin Shuo shook his head gently.
"It's just that my mental age is more mature."
Tong Momo wrinkled his nose, glanced at the remaining Shi Zhisha on the ground, took out a velvet purse from his pocket, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll put away Shi Zhisha first, and we'll divide it evenly after we go out."
Lin Shuo glanced at the bottles and jars in the department room and said, "So many bottles, just find another one."
“These bottles are not good.”
Tong Momo squatted on the ground, pinched the Shizhisha on the ground with his little hands, and put it into his purse bit by bit. "It won't take long for an ordinary bottle to touch Shizhisha, and the Shizhisha will melt in, which is a waste."
"Integrate?" Lin Shuo said in confusion.
"This is the characteristic of the sand of time."
While patiently loading Shizhisha, Tong Momo explained: "Once Shizhisha encounters something with the concept of 'items', it will be integrated into it over time, adding 'time characteristics' to the items. Of course... This quality Shizhisha can only add 'time characteristics to simple items such as clothes and bottles, so don't think about it if it is more complicated."
Lin Shuo suddenly remembered that before Xia Yi died, he said that he had some "clothing with time characteristics" and placed it in the locker room on the sixth floor.
Time characteristics?
"The sand of time is called the sand of time because it is compared to the countless sands on the bed of the long river of time."
Tong Momo carefully pinched the remaining sand of Shizhi with his fingertips and said on his mouth: "The most basic thing that adds time characteristics to objects is 'never wear'. It's like an item with 'time characteristics' has been washed countless times and will not change. Even if it is broken, it will return to its original state."
Lin Shuo suddenly thought of the clothes on Tong Momo.
The sleeveless shirt and shorts didn't fit, just like she stolen it.
And he had long noticed that in her coat, she could see the sleeveless shirt, which she wore in it as a base.
Such a baby?
Do both the sleeveless shirt and those shorts have the characteristics of time?
However, I can't see if she's wearing those shorts.
Lin Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Are you still wearing shorts under your pants?"
"What do you want to do?" Tong Momo was stunned and couldn't help but glance at him alertly, "Or can I still be vacuumed?"
"...I mean, the shorts you wore when I first met you." Lin Shuo was a little speechless.
"oh……"
Tong Momo then reacted and nodded, "Of course I'm wearing it. The clothes inside me are all time-specific and are much more expensive than the most luxurious brands."
Lin Shuo suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.
"I thought you stole it." Lin Shuo shook his head and said.
Tong Momo casually explained: "It's just that my underwear and socks are customized, while my sleeveless shirts, shorts and shoes are all second-hand, but apart from shoes, I can't buy anything good, so it doesn't fit well. Oh, and the rubber bands I tied with ponytails and this small purse also have time characteristics."
"Besides never wear, there should be other functions, right?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Of course."
Tong Momo nodded slightly, "The main function is to enter and exit the restricted area with me."
"Entering and leaving the forbidden area?" Lin Shuo's heart moved and he understood vaguely.
Tong Momo said with a nod and said, "Didn't I say it before? Only those with the talent of time can pass through the fog of the restricted area. In addition, no other things are alive or dead, but if other items also have the 'time characteristics', they can enter the restricted area with me."
"I see."
Lin Shuo couldn't help but mutter to himself, if you enter the penalty area in ordinary clothes, once you pass through the fog of the penalty area, wouldn't you be naked in an instant like you were magic?
"alright."
Tong Momo put the last bit of Shizhisha into his purse, then stood up, looked at Xia Yi's corpse on the ground, and said, "Find a bag and take this person's corpse out. The mission is to see the corpse."
"Can the corpse pass through the fog?" Lin Shuo asked.
Tong Momo nodded, "A person who awakens the talent of time will be equivalent to a dead object containing the characteristics of time after death. Of course, he can pass through the fog of the forbidden zone."
Lin Shuo suddenly said, "If this person's body is left here, he will be resurrected after it is restarted today, right?"
"Of course." Tong Momo nodded.
Chapter completed!
