In Chen Nuo's view, the ability to recall time is too buggy.
This ability should not be controlled by a destroyer-level person like Chen Jianshe.
Not to mention destroyers like Chen Jianshe, even controllers like Chen Nuo - even among the controllers in the world, there is no one who can have this magical ability.
In fact, even those few seeds cannot master the ability to control time.
So foul!
This ability, if used skillfully, is almost invincible!
The reason why I think it is a BUG is because having this ability can almost break the existing level rules.
Moreover, if you think a little deeper, time may be the axis of the conjectured fourth dimension!
If you can control time, the level of this ability will be shocking.
Chen Jianshe?
How could a human destroyer-level esper possess this kind of ability?
He is not the chosen one.
Chen Nuo had never heard of the name Chen Jianshe in his previous life, nor had he ever heard of the name "Thrush" in the underground world. It was obvious that this old Chen had always been a coward in his previous life, from beginning to end.
Moreover, what made Chen Nuo even more wary was that Chen Jianshe still had the pair of jade and rice grains in his hands!
This is the remains of the seed!
·
"..." Chen Jianshe fell silent.
Chen Nuo was not in a hurry. He squatted in front of Chen Jianshe and asked with a smile: "Why, you don't want to say anything?"
Chen Jianshe took a deep breath: "Are you trying to dig up my roots?"
Chen Nuo said calmly: "This ability is too advanced. Even the controller cannot control the time, but a person whose ability has only reached the destroyer level can control it freely. How could I not ask clearly about this kind of thing?
"
Chen Jianshe’s eyes were complicated: “…………”
"Moreover, there is another magical thing about your ability. When we fought, you actually activated it more than eighty times.
You can use a skill more than eighty times. It takes something to activate this time recall ability, right?
Or is it that you can activate it at will, but there is no cost at all?
If it is a general ability, most of what is consumed is the mental power of the ability user, or other power reserves.
But... more than eighty times!
Not to mention activating such a magical ability.
Even if a person spits for more than eighty times, he will be exhausted to death!
Even if you are the controller, if you want to use one of your strongest skills more than 80 times in one breath, it is impossible for anyone to do it.
unless……
Your ability to recall time is zero waste?"
After Chen Nuo said so much, Chen Jianshe struggled in his heart. He finally raised his eyes and looked at Chen Nuo: "You...I said, will you really let me go?"
"If you don't tell me, I will never let you go." Chen Nuo answered seriously.
"No." Chen Jianshe immediately shook his head: "You have to promise me. If I say it, you will really let me go."
Chen Nuo pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, after all, you are right, there is no personal enmity between us. Besides, you are also my father, and your blood is flowing in my body.
Didn't you just say that no matter what I do, I can never kill my father?"
Chen Jianshe: "Then what are you going to do with me?"
"You answer my questions, and then I can consider letting you go - of course, it won't be that simple. You must promise not to harass Ou Xiuhua again from now on!
Also, you have to go to grandma’s grave and kneel down to admit your mistake.”
(Then I will bury you again.) Chen Nuo added in his mind.
Chen Jianshe generally believed it.
In his mind, no matter how much resentment there was, the man in front of him was naturally his son, and since there was no real personal enmity, Chen Nuo really had no reason to kill him.
"Okay, let me tell you, this ability..."
"Wait a minute." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "Don't lie to me. If I find out, I won't let you go...I'll kill you, but I may break your consciousness space."
, turning you into a dementia that is worse than an ordinary person."
Chen Jianshe was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "Well, this ability of mine does not consume any power, and it certainly does not consume mental energy as you think. If I want, I can activate it a hundred more times!
"
Chen Nuo changed his color: "How is that possible?!"
"I'm not done yet.
It doesn't consume any force or energy.
However, it is not without cost.
To be precise, it consumes my time."
Chen Nuo frowned: "What do you mean?"
"You understand it this way, what I consume is my own life time, or in other words, physical time.
Suppose...suppose! For example, I go back in time from now to one year ago. So how old were you one year ago? 17 years old.
And I am now forty-eight years old.
If I could go back one year, how old would I be?"
"Forty-eight minus one, forty-seven years old?"
"No, I am still forty-eight years old." Chen Jianshe said slowly: "My review is a timeline, but my own life time is still passing."
"I don't quite understand."
"For example, when we fought just now, I set a time point and then reviewed it again and again. Each time our battle process, it took about a few minutes and slowly extended to half an hour. Right?"
"right."
"Let's assume that each of our battles lasts for half an hour and eighty times. That is forty hours, which is approximately less than two days, right?"
"right."
"Every time I spend it, it is equivalent to wasting the time of my life. For you, every time I look back, I have returned to the time node I set. It doesn't matter if I look back eighty times or eight hundred times.
, eight thousand times, it is the same time. Every time you look back, you will return to the time point I set, your age and time.
But I'm different!
To put it simply, how much time I have returned to the past will be deducted from my lifespan.
In other words, every time I use this skill, it consumes my life time.
I will deduct as much as I return.
If I look back for half an hour, my life span will be shortened by half an hour. If I look back eighty times, a total of more than forty hours, my life span will elapse for more than forty hours.
If I go back one year, two years, or even more, my own life span will be deducted by that amount."
Chen Nuo stared at Chen Jianshe's face for a long time and suddenly said: "You rarely use this skill, right?"
"Of course, although this skill is very powerful, I will only use it when I encounter a very strong opponent.
After all, using this ability will consume my life. If I use it too much, I haven't lived enough."
Chen Nuo nodded.
Chen Jianshe's face is basically similar to his actual age. It can be seen that he still "cherishes" the use of this ability.
"Then how did you get this ability?" Chen Nuo shook his head and said: "This ability doesn't seem to be awakened naturally, right? I have never heard of an ability exactly like yours in the underground world. This ability is not It’s like humans can wake up naturally!”
Time belongs to the category of the fourth dimension.
Human beings are three-dimensional creatures, and it is impossible for three-dimensional creatures to awaken and evolve four-dimensional abilities.
Chen Jianshe fell silent again.
However, this silence confirmed Chen Nuo's guess - this ability obviously did not awaken naturally.
"I...I don't know what to say."
"Then just say what comes to mind. Try to say it first and speak it out. If there is something I don't understand, I will ask you." Chen Nuo's tone was very cold.
Chen Jianshe was helpless, and then he smiled bitterly: "Do you... believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
"ha?"
Chen Nuo was stunned.
"Look, I knew you wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"No, I believe it, just keep saying it."
Is there a ghost?
Chen Nuo smiled secretly in his heart: I have seen all the aliens.
It doesn't matter if there is a ghost.
Let's listen to what he has to say.
Chen Jianshe sighed: "Actually, everything starts from...two or three years before you were born. For a while, I seemed to be seriously ill. After I recovered, I often could I heard a voice talking to me."
"You mean, when you go to bed at night, you dream about someone talking to you?"
"It's not someone talking to me, it's a voice talking to me. Do you understand the difference? I don't know who it is, but I can hear a voice while sleeping.
I don't know if it's a dream.
Anyway... I fell asleep, so I was probably dreaming.
But in the dream, I knew very well that I was dreaming, and then there was a voice talking to me."
Chen Nuo became interested: "What are you telling me?"
Chen Jianshe took a breath: "Tell me what will happen the next day."
Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "You mean...precognition?"
"...Well, it can be considered a prediction."
Chen Jianshe's eyes were a little dazed for a moment, and then he said slowly: "I remember the first time I had that dream.
In the dream, the voice told me what would happen the next day.
The dream seemed to tell me a lot, about who I would meet when I went out in the morning, what I would eat during the day when I went to work...
These were all trivial things, and I didn’t pay much attention to them—after all, I didn’t take them seriously at the time. You know, it was just a dream.
After I woke up, I only felt one thing was strange, that is, generally speaking, most of the content of dreams would not be remembered after waking up.
But that dream monster is weird, I remember it clearly!
The voice in the dream said a lot to me, and I can remember it after I wake up.
Although I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
It wasn't until I was at work during the day that I suddenly remembered that the voice in my dream told me something, saying that there would be an accident in our factory today and someone would die.
Do you know...
That afternoon, I was washing cars in the fleet, and suddenly I saw my master hurried in and told me that something happened in the factory. A porter on the dock fell into the river and drowned... Do you know how I felt at that time?"
"Are you shocked?"
"That's right!" Chen Jianshe sighed: "Shock, fear, and beyond that, even a little excitement. In short, it's quite complicated."
"Then what?"
"Then, the next night, I went home early, and then I looked forward to going to bed at night, and maybe I could hear something again when I fell asleep.
But that night, I couldn't sleep because of my excitement. It wasn't until it was almost dawn that I fell asleep for a few hours.
Moreover, I didn’t have that weird dream. I slept until the morning and was even late for work. I was even scolded by my master.
After that, I didn't have that strange dream again for several days.
Slowly, I began to think that it might be a dream. As for the words of the voice in the dream, the prophecies, and the dead people, these were just coincidences in the dream.
I gradually forgot about that incident, until one day, I was eating and drinking out with my friends at night. After drinking too much, I got into a fight with someone...
Then, that night, I had that strange dream again."
Chen Nuo listened quietly without interrupting Chen Jianshe.
"That night, the voice in the dream once again told me some prophecies...most of them were small things, and I didn't pay attention to them, but the voice in the dream told me one thing, saying, tomorrow night when I get off work
, those people who fought with me today will come outside our factory to block me, and will beat me badly..."
Chen Nuo's eyes moved: "Do you believe it?"
"I didn't believe it at first. When I got up in the morning, I thought it was a dream. Then when I got off work at night, I suddenly remembered this dream, and then I remembered the death in the factory the next day after the last dream.
I suddenly had an idea and asked one of my colleagues to sneak out of the factory and go to the alley outside to help me check the wind.
When my colleague came back, he told me that there were a few people sneaking around there, and I didn't know who they were waiting for.
I immediately realized something was wrong."
"You confirmed that the dream was not just a dream, but could actually predict what will happen in the future?"
"Yes, I believe it. I am very excited and a little scared.
But even more exciting!
I don't even care about people coming to beat me if I offend them.
Think about it, Chen Nuo!
I got the ability to predict the future! Is that still a big deal?
I felt at that time that my life was going to be prosperous from now on!”
Chen Nuo frowned and said: "Then what? But you didn't develop well in your later life, right?
I remember very clearly that even after you married Ou Xiuhua, you were miserable and unsatisfactory. You owed a lot of money. You ran away alone, abandoned your wife and children, and ran to the south. As a result, I also investigated
However, you were hiding from XZ and couldn't accomplish anything. You only relied on your face and your eloquence to defraud some women out of their money."
"..." Chen Jianshe sighed: "Because of that dream, it sometimes works but doesn't work.
It doesn't appear every night, it only appears once in a while.
Sometimes, I can’t wait for ten days and half a month.
Sometimes, I can dream for two days in a row.
The longest time I waited for it was three months before I dreamed of a prophecy.
And what makes me very disappointed is that every time I dream and predict things, they are all things that will happen around me, and they are all trivial things.
Chen Nuo, you don't understand.
At that time, the 1980s, there was no such thing as lottery. It was impossible for me to even dream about lottery.
What's more, the prediction of that dream was limited to the next day. It could only predict the time of one day, so... it wasn't actually of much use.
And more predictions are trivial things with no practical value.
For example, even if you know in advance that braised pork will be eaten in the factory cafeteria the next day - what is the use of such a prediction!!!!!
You can’t make a fortune, and you can’t gain momentum!
However, it would not be wrong to say that it is completely useless.
For example, when I met your mother, I dreamed about it one day in advance.
Then, I predicted that I would meet a beautiful woman like your mother the next day, so I made preparations in advance, dressed myself up beautifully, and made a lot of preparations. It was also a plus.
As for my work in the factory, I later managed to please the leader of my unit. It was also because of the prophecy of my dream that I could predict what little things would happen to the leader the next day. I made preparations in advance and flattered the leader so that I
This person is smart at what he does...
But no matter how great the benefits are, they are really gone.
I thought about it carefully later and realized that this dream could only predict things around me.
In other words, the scope of prophecy follows me.
If I don't know the field, it won't give me prophecies.
For example, when I work in a small factory in Jinling, the most it can tell me is what will happen to the leaders of my unit the next day.
But he will never predict to me what will happen to the President of Country M.
Do you understand?"
"so what?"
"So I no longer want to stay in that shabby factory." Chen Jianshe sighed: "I was already married to your mother at that time.
But when I had this magical prophetic dream, I always felt that I would definitely be no ordinary person in the future, and I would definitely become rich!
Even though this dream still works sometimes and sometimes not.
However, with this magical ability, how could I be willing to be an ordinary person again?
I always want to go out and see the world. Maybe the more I see the world, the greater the scope of the things predicted in my dreams will be and the more valuable they will be to me!"
Chen Nuo sighed: "So you don't live at home, you are so ambitious and want to run out every day, want to get ahead, want to make a fortune, want to be rich and powerful?"
"Yes! I went into business, lost money, and then ran away because I owed money.
He left Jinling and ran to the south to look for opportunities.
I thought I would be able to put this dream to use soon.
But what disappoints me is that this dream still appears occasionally. The time is uncertain every time, and it is difficult for me to use what is predicted every time.
The more I lived in the south, the worse I got. I offended many people and owed a lot of money.
Sometimes I also think that I might as well go back to Jinling.
I know your mother Ou Xiuhua's temperament very well.
Even though I had done so many stupid things, we were still husband and wife at that time, and she would still accept me as long as I went back.
Even at that time, she was completely disappointed with me as a person and had no love for me.
But...your mother has a character weakness.
That is, she accepted her fate.
Since she married me, she has accepted this fate. Even if I do all those messy things, as long as I go back, she will still accept me as her husband, as long as I express my willingness to live a good life.
She will continue to live with me.
She is a responsible person who accepts her fate."
Chen Nuo sneered: "Then why don't you come back?"
"...I am not willing to accept it." Chen Jianshe shook his head: "I, an ordinary young man in society, lost my iron job in the factory, left my wife and children at home, and ran out just to get rich!
Moreover, I still have such a big secret!
Who in the world can have the ability that I had at that time?
Prophecy!
The ability to predict the future!
Even if it is ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times, the content of the prophecy is useless!
But what about a thousand and one times?
Who knows?
I just wasn't willing to go back, so I just thought that if I kept betting and waiting, I might predict an opportunity that would make me rich overnight, and if I took advantage of it, I would be able to prosper!"
Looking at Chen Jianshe’s red eyes...
Chen Nuo suddenly sighed in his heart.
This...actually, I'm afraid many people will think so too.
A prophecy ability that seems to be of little use...
But it is a prophecy after all! It can predict the future!
What Chen Jianshe said is actually very normal: Even if it is ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times, the content of the prophecy will not be used! But what about the thousand and first time?
No one will be willing to do so.
"Then what?" Chen Nuo continued to ask.
"Then... until you were about two or three years old, suddenly one day, I had a dream, and the content of the dream was completely beyond my expectation.
I was very surprised that time!
Because of the content of the prophecy.
First, it is not something that happens around me.
Secondly, its time is no longer about what happened the next day!
I thought at that time that I was going to be lucky.
My fortune has turned!
This ability of mine has finally been upgraded!"
"What dream?"
"I dreamed about something in..." Chen Jianshe said the name of a small country in Southeast Asia.
"Um?"
"According to the dream prophecy, this thing should happen two months later, and then I went crazy. I found many people, borrowed a lot of money, and then took risks and asked someone to contact some channels.
I will go abroad!
Smuggled out by boat.
You don’t know how miserable it was to take a boat out to sea for illegal immigration in those days. I was..."
"I don't want you to remember the bitter things and think about the sweet things." Chen Nuo interrupted Chen Jianshe coldly: "Let's get to the point!"
"...Okay, okay, let's talk about the key points, talk about the key points." Chen Jianshe smiled and continued: "I went to a city in that small country. According to the prophecy in the dream, I found a place, and then made preparations.
Wait there.
After waiting for a few days, I finally reached my goal.
That night, I witnessed a battle between two people with abilities. A decisive battle took place at the place where I was waiting.
I waited until both sides were injured, and one of them who was seriously injured ran away, so I followed the seriously injured person all the way.
Then……"
"Then what did you do?"
"I attacked that person in a sneak attack." Chen Jianshe's eyes flashed with fierceness: "In the dream prophecy, I saw that the person would be seriously injured and then unconscious on the way to escape. After I ran there, I followed that person
He found a safe house where he was hiding, and then got in while he was unconscious...
Because I had witnessed how terrifying they were when fighting with supernatural powers, I didn't dare to save his life at that time! Although I prepared ropes and other things, I gave up my original plan after I actually saw the battle process.
I took advantage of that man's unconsciousness and planned to cut his throat with a knife!
Moreover, the dream prophecy told me that there was a lot of fat in that safe house!
There is a lot of money and gold hidden in a box.
The most important thing is that I had already broken into the house and saw the unconscious person lying on the ground.
When I was about to take out the knife...
Suddenly, I heard the voice in my dream!
Not in a dream, but in my waking state, I heard that voice talking to me in my head!”
Chen Nuo became more energetic: "What did you say?"
"That voice taught me a method, a method of spiritual guidance and devouring...
A technique for using mental power.
Then, I use that method and follow the guidance of that voice..."
"What did you do?"
"I devoured that person's mental power! That person was obviously a spiritual ability user. I devoured his mental power. Then, I changed from an ordinary person to an ability user."
Devour?
Swallowing spiritual power?
Why does it sound like something a wizard would do?
But this was definitely not the work of wizards.
Wizards do not have the ability to look back in time, nor do they have the ability to predict the future.
More than ten years ago, it was even more impossible for a wizard to go to Jinling to find an ordinary person like Chen Jianshe to plan something.
“After swallowing it, I sensed something like ‘consciousness space’ for the first time.
I am delighted that I have transformed from an ordinary person into a superman with magical abilities.
But at that moment, the voice in my head communicated with me head-on for the first time.
This is the first time since I gained the ability to predict dreams!
Because of previous precognitive dreams, I could only listen to them one-sidedly, and I couldn't communicate with them at all. Because I was in the dream, I couldn't speak.
Always, it speaks and I listen.
Until that time, mine became an esper, and after possessing spiritual power, I was able to communicate with it for the first time.
But...that was also the only time.
That time, it told me that after I became an esper and my mental strength became stronger, I had this ability to communicate.
It tells me that from today on, my ability to predict dreams will disappear, because this ability will evolve into a more powerful ability: time retrospection."
Chen Nuo said coldly: "You must have asked, what is it?"
"I asked, but it didn't answer.
It just told me that I will never hear its voice again in the future, because the ability has been formed. All I have to do is use this ability to live well.
I asked it why it gave me this ability.
It said something to me at the time, but I really didn’t understand it at the time. I only remember that it talked about some concepts of time and so on. You can understand that I had just gained new abilities at the time, and my mind was very confused.
Moreover, I didn’t study much at that time and had no education.
I really don’t understand a lot of the advanced content.
But there is one thing that I remember.
It said, let me use this ability to live well. The longer I live, the better it will be.
Moreover, let me keep a low profile and hide myself.
The ability to recall time can help me gain a lot, and it can even help me defeat many opponents who are stronger than me.
However, this ability also has a weakness...that is, it must be unexpected.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is.
I used this ability to deal with you because I was sure that you were the only one with abilities present at that time.
If the Queen of the Starry Sky comes with her, there is no way I can win by myself.
This ability is only useful if it is used well and skillfully.
But if you don't use it well, you can easily get yourself killed.
This ability is best used to sneak attack enemies.
But not too high-profile.
The most important thing is, never let others know that I use this ability!
Because my real strength is not strong enough.
If I let others know about my ability to rewind time - as long as the opponent is prepared, I won't be able to trick them with this ability.
This is something I figured out later.
So over the years, I have been keeping a low profile."
Chen Nuo understands all the latter.
But what Chen Jianshe said in the middle made Chen Nuo pay attention.
"That voice says to you...that the longer you live, the better it will be?"
"Um."
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't understand." Chen Jianshe shook his head: "I asked, but it didn't answer. In fact... I thought about it carefully later.
Maybe, that exchange may not be a real exchange.
How should I put it...it's like that voice is not talking to me at all.
Rather... it's more like a recording.
I recorded some important information and played it in my head.
So I thought about that exchange countless times later.
It didn't answer any questions I asked. It felt like it was talking to itself without paying any attention to my questions.
Later I guessed that maybe I was just listening to a recording that stayed in my head."
Chen Nuo squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "No, you are hiding some important facts."
"No, no, I really said it all!" Chen Jianshe quickly defended himself.
"You told me?" Chen Nuo sneered and picked up the box containing corn and rice grains: "You didn't tell me where this thing came from!"
Chen Jianshe's expression changed: "This, this is just a small jade, just an ordinary toy, it has nothing to do with these things..."
Chen Nuo stared into Chen Jianshe's eyes and sighed: "Chen Jianshe, Chen Jianshe... Actually, if you didn't have such vicious thoughts, I really might not kill you.
But...you come back to me with this thing...
You also said that you missed your old relationship and came back to see your son...
Tiger poison doesn't even eat seeds.
You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin, right?
Let me tell you clearly, I also have this thing in my hand!
So, I know exactly what this thing is used for!”
As he spoke, Chen Nuo stretched out his palm, and a corn grain slowly appeared in his palm!
Chen Jianshe's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed. After his eyes changed drastically, he struggled crazily and tried to jump up from the ground.
But Chen Nuo pinned Chen Jianshe to the ground with a casual finger.
"Chen Jianshe, you are planning to use this thing to take away your own son's body!
Your ability to recall time is a life-consuming ability.
Moreover, you are already past middle age, and you have lived a comfortable life for so many years, but when you think about yourself getting older, you think about it, you still have a young son in Jinling!
As a semi-old man who is almost fifty years old.
Just be a young man.
Of course you want the latter.
So... when you come back this time, in addition to causing trouble for the Queen of the Starry Sky - no, you don't even intend to really cause trouble for the Queen of the Starry Sky. You actually don't care about the death of your apprentice.
You just casually disgusted us. Then you hid.
In fact, you will not take any further action against the Queen of the Starry Sky.
After all, have you always behaved in a low-key manner? Low-key Mr. Thrush Flycatcher!
The real purpose of your coming back this time is to find your son and complete the seizure!"
