After an unknown amount of time, Angel fell from the golden light.
He closed his eyes tightly and his cheeks were pale.
A few seconds later, Angel opened his eyes suddenly, but before he had time to see the situation around him clearly, he covered his chest, stood up from the ground, and retched violently to the side.
This vomiting lasted for most of half a minute.
However, there was nothing in Angel's stomach after all, and after vomiting for a long time, he only vomited sour gastric juice, but no matter what, at least he felt that his anger was better than before.
"The second time...the second time..." Angel's voice full of resentment floated out from between his teeth.
When he was swallowed into the Dalmatian's belly before, he experienced an unprecedented rolling. He felt very uncomfortable at that time. This time it was even worse. Angel himself didn't know how many times he rolled. It felt like he had rolled over since last year.
Roll on to this year.
Even with his current physique, he could be tortured to the point of retching, which shows how unforgettable this roll was for Angel.
The tightness in his chest eased slightly, and Angel raised his head and looked around.
This sight immediately stunned Angel's eyes.
bell.
Countless clocks.
Round, square, flat, oblique, as big as a morning star, as small as a ring, with cracks, half embedded in the void, sparkling, eclipsed...
All kinds of clocks fill this unknown void.
And Angel is in a corner of this "clock forest".
There was void under his feet, but inexplicably, a shimmering velvet grew where he stepped. Angel took a tentative step, and the luminous velvet would automatically grow as he moved.
Growing wherever his feet fall, there is no danger of falling into the void.
Although this situation of velvet growing out of thin air under the feet was very strange, considering that this was the belly of a Dalmatian and anything could happen, Angel ignored it.
He believed that these glowing velvet grasses were just insignificant details.
Perhaps what Dalmatian really wanted him to see was this "clock forest".
These clocks come in various styles, some are exquisite and some are simple. At first glance, Angel did not find anything surprising. The only thing they have in common is that they are all stationary.
Since Dalmatian brought him here - yes, Angel firmly believed from his heart that his appearance here should be designed by Dalmatian - then Dalmatian should want him to see something here, or
Do something.
Thinking of this, Angel stood up.
He walked towards the nearest clock.
It was a somewhat dim desk clock with rotten hands. It was located at the outermost edge of the clock forest and looked like a decoration created by a down-and-out noble to prop up appearances.
No matter how he looked at it, Angel didn't see anything special about this clock.
After hesitating for a second, he decided to reach out and touch it - he had touched the clock outside before it changed, and maybe the clock here would be the same.
But when Angel reached out, he found that he had made a mistake.
This clock is not physical.
It is illusory.
Angel was stunned for a moment. As an illusion wizard, he had never noticed anything illusory about this clock before. Apart from being a bit shabby, in his eyes and in his spiritual vision, it was simply a reality.
clock.
Angel couldn't help but wave his hand back and forth next to the clock. Even though what his hands touched was illusory, Angel still couldn't see any trace of illusion.
Perhaps this is a more advanced illusion?
Or maybe, this is not actually an illusion, but Angel can’t reach the entity with his ability?
Angel couldn't come up with an answer and could only attribute it to the Dalmatian's magical ability.
Since this clock is illusory, what about the other clocks? Angel did not dwell on one place for too long, but continued walking towards the other clocks.
Square clock wheel... unreal.
Heart-shaped pocket watch... unreal.
Ornate wall clock... unreal.
Angel walked forward and touched all the time. Whether it was a clock as tall as a building or a small pocket watch, none of the clocks were real, they were all illusory.
Although the appearance of these clocks was very distinctive, Angel couldn't see any value worthy of careful study. He could only move on.
As Angel moved forward, the clocks around him began to become noticeably more refined, and there were more glowing clock wheels.
However, no matter how exquisite and dazzling it is, it is still just a gorgeous exterior, and the inner shell is still illusory.
Perhaps because there were too many illusory clocks and he didn't find anything worthy of attention, Angel's thinking began to diverge in strange directions. At this time, he was thinking: If he were a watchmaker, maybe he would
I will be very happy here. In the future, I won’t have to think about designing watches for people. The plans are completely one-by-one, and I won’t be repeating the same thing every day.
With all kinds of wild ideas, Angel continued to walk forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw a huge spire clock in the distance.
That clock seemed to support the heaven and the earth, it was so big that it was unimaginable.
When Angel saw the clock for the first time, a thought immediately came to his mind: There, that might be the destination!
Angel didn't care whether this thought was a premonition or a realization forced by the Dalmatian. Anyway, he had no other place to go now, so he would look over there, maybe he could really find it.
What clues were found.
Angel didn't hesitate and even sped up.
In the void, the swaying shimmering velvet grass came and went under Angel's feet, like a beacon, glowing all the way to the vicinity of the huge clock.
When he arrived here, Angel immediately understood that he had come to the right place.
Because, when he entered one mile around the steeple clock, the hands of all the stationary clocks began to beat.
Tick tick tick——
The sound of various hands jumping resounded throughout the sky.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, these clocks that have started to beat are still illusory, at least Angel cannot touch them.
He could only continue to move forward. With the ticking sound of time passing by, Angel came step by step to the vicinity of the steeple clock.
When we get here, the clocks around us obviously start to become sparse. In the past, we could see a lot of clocks every one or two steps, but here, we may not be able to see clocks even if we take hundreds of steps.
But as long as there are clocks around that huge clock, they must be brilliant and gorgeous.
After bypassing the illusory and gorgeous clocks, Angel stood under the huge clock.
And when he came here, as if something had been triggered, a deep and tall shadow slowly appeared on the top of the huge clock.
When he saw this shadow, Angel was stunned.
Although he couldn't see the true face of the shadow, Angel looked at the outline and the posture of sitting casually, and it was so familiar!
When he first met the time thief, he was like this, sitting on top of the time wheel in the same posture.
He is a time thief?
The time thief also came to the Dalmatian's belly?
Did the time thief come here for me? Am I going to make a terrible decision at this time?
Angel was a little confused. He didn't seem to have to make a choice now. Generally speaking, the time thief showed up to steal choices, right?
Or is it that the time thief foresaw that he was about to make a choice, so he came here in advance to wait for him?
This doesn't seem to be the style of Time Thief... Angel has learned about Time Thief from many people. He basically won't show up when you choose. Once you make a choice, the other choice will naturally be taken.
He stole it.
This is the time thief's practice, his style, and a restrictive rule.
At least others, when the choice has not yet appeared, have never seen the time thief show up in advance.
So what's going on?
When Angel was suspicious, a crisp bell broke through the restriction and came from the distant periphery.
When the bell rang, Angel felt his heart start beating rapidly for some reason.
The time thief sitting on the top of the huge clock wheel suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the bell.
"There is a mark that touches the choice." The time thief muttered in a low voice: "Let me see."
As the words fell, a round clock was suddenly pulled from the outside to the vicinity by the time thief.
It is this round clock that is making a crisp sound at this time.
Angel looked at this familiar round clock, and his heart beat faster and faster... He always felt that this round clock had a great connection with him.
It's as if that round clock represents itself.
High above, the round clock in Time Thief's hand suddenly began to shed golden light. Time Thief took a deep breath and said in a playful tone: "Tsk, tsk, the overflowing honey of time is so sweet... Look.
Come, it’s necessary to go and take a look.”
Angel also saw the golden light. For some reason, when he stared at the golden light flowing out, a picture appeared in his mind.
That was the scene when Sanders said goodbye to him when he decided to return to the foggy belt not long ago——
At that time, Angel was saying with a firm look: "What I said before, watching the promotion process of disordered objects, is just a temporary reason, but the moment I said it, I felt something.
I have a hunch that returning is the right choice.”
"In fact, this premonition is so strong that...it seems like I am making a choice that can change the course of my life."
After listening to Angel's words, Sanders was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Since you think this choice is important, then eliminate all possible interference and follow what you think."
The golden light dissipated, and this scene also dissipated from Angel's eyes.
Angel looked at the time thief high up, and then at the round clock that emitted golden light.
At this moment, he suddenly understood.
Everything he sees now is not what is happening in the current time and space.
It happened not long ago when he was making the choice to return to the fog zone.
This is why he suddenly felt a sense of fate when he chose to return to the foggy belt. Because that choice activated the time thief's mark, making him pay attention to himself.
As for the round clock, the reason why Angel feels closely related to him may be because it is actually his clock of destiny, but it was materialized by the time thief.
Everything is clear.
Angel also roughly understood that the time thief in front of him was not real. He was just a time thief from the past manifested by a Dalmatian dog.
However, Angel still didn't understand why the Dalmatian showed such a picture.
Is it telling him that the time thief looked at him not long ago?
But if the time thief really watched him and stole his choices... the time thief would show up, right? Even if he doesn't show up, at least he must give him some compensation! The time thief steals
Other people's choices will inevitably come with a price. This is a kind of balance.
But when Angel made his decision, he neither saw the time thief nor received any compensation.
why is that?
The time thief suddenly gave up paying attention to himself?
Angel continued to read with doubts.
Then, he saw that the time thief was indeed preparing to go to Angel's location, and even saw how the time thief manipulated the circular clock and opened the door to the wheel of time above the clock.
But at the most critical moment, the time thief suddenly withdrew his hand.
His fingertips were pricked when he touched the Kalachakra Gate.
A drop of golden blood fell from his fingertips into the void...
The time thief looked at the disappearing golden blood, squinted his eyes and said: "If I go, I will have a bad premonition...could it be that if I go there, I will encounter..."
The following words suddenly became blurry.
It was as if someone was messing with time and space and didn't want Angel to hear it.
Angel could only see that the time thief did not open the door to the wheel of time again. This may be the reason why Angel made a choice but the other party did not appear.
When the time thief retreated to the top of the huge clock, the disrupted sound returned to normal.
Then, Angel saw the time thief looking at the round clock wheel with interest.
"Let me see, who does this clock represent?"
After finishing speaking, the Time Thief's head suddenly turned slowly and looked down at Angel.
At this moment, the past time seems to be intertwined with the present time.
And the eyes of Angel in the current time and space and the eyes of the time thief in the past time and space met without any hindrance.
"Woof woof——"
The moment Angel and the Time Thief looked at each other, Angel heard the familiar barking of a dog, which seemed to be a Dalmatian.
At the same time, the surrounding images suddenly began to become blurry.
Those clock forests, those huge clock wheels, the swaying golden light and the tall silhouette of the time thief... all became blurred after the Dalmatian's urgent barking.
Soon, all the surrounding images disappeared, including the clock and the time thief.
But Angel still saw the time thief's raised lips at the last second when the image disappeared, and the chuckle and whisper that could reach his ears across the time and space of the past and the future.
