In the deserted city, the rain was still falling, and apart from the rustle of falling rain, there was no sound in the whole city.
Suddenly, a pair of boots stepped on the stagnant water.
Ta-ta.
The sound of shoes stepping on the stagnant water continued to sound. Looking up, you could see that this was a man. He looked about thirty years old at least. He was wearing goggles and was wearing tight clothes. The only exposed skin was on his face. , with a red pattern, I can’t tell what pattern it is.
This man is very unusual.
It's not because of his unique appearance. What's unusual about him is that he shouldn't appear in the deserted Imperial City now.
This man with a unique appearance quickly walked into a pool of blood.
There is a corpse above the bloody water. The corpse is leaning against the wall, holding a photo slightly stained by the rain in his hand. Although he is dead, he is still looking at the photo in his hand with his eyes slightly open. It is obvious that this The photo held unusual significance for him.
There is no doubt that this body is the dead Shen Kong.
The man stared at Shen Kong for a long time, and finally said with some appreciation: "He was a good young man with extraordinary potential. It's a pity that he died like this."
"I am short of people right now, so why not ask him if he is willing to do something for me."
The man's words sounded a bit nonsensical, even a bit outrageous, because Shen Kong's soul was already gone, and even if he wanted to summon the soul, he couldn't.
However, this man's face was very calm, as if he was not saying something strange and incomprehensible.
"Backtracking."
After clearly pronouncing these two Chinese characters, the man lightly stamped his feet, and suddenly an indescribable force rippled around him with him as the center of the circle.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened.
The rainwater that was originally falling down suddenly stopped and began to flow upwards. The watch on Shen Kong's wrist began to move back.
Time actually went back!
In this area, except for this man, everything seemed to be going backwards. Soon the blood on the ground gradually faded, and the photos in Shen Kong's hands quickly turned from wet to dry.
About half a minute passed.
Shen Kong, who was originally dead, suddenly came to life again, and then opened his eyes.
"Huh?!" After Shen Kong opened his eyes, he first showed a confused look, and then murmured: "I remember that I died, so this is hell?"
At this moment, a strange voice came to Shen Kong's ears.
"This is not hell."
The sudden sound startled Shen Kong, and then he saw a strange man standing not far away in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Mr. Li." Mr. Li said with a slight smile.
Shen Kong looked around, frowned and said, "What's going on? Shouldn't I be dead? Why am I still in the Imperial City?"
"This is indeed the Imperial City, and you did die just now. It's just that I used some small means to revive you." Mr. Li replied.
"This is impossible, I am obviously dead."
Shen Kong's first reaction was disbelief. How could it be possible to resurrect the dead? His soul was broken.
Seeing Shen Kong's doubtful face, Mr. Li smiled and said, "Since you are dead, why are you still standing here talking to me? Did you fake the corpse?"
"This" Hearing this, Shen Kong was stunned for a moment.
Although resurrection sounds a bit unbelievable, it seems to be the reality. His heart is still beating vigorously at this moment, and his soul is still alive, but it is not as strong as before.
Shen Kong felt that his cognition had been greatly shocked, but he couldn't help but believe the fact before him. He murmured: "Am I really resurrected? How did you do it?"
"It's very simple." Mr. Li smiled slightly and said, "As long as we go back in time to before your death, we can save you. You may not be able to understand how to do it specifically."
Hearing this, Shen Kong's pupils suddenly shrank.
Is this turning back time?
How powerful is it to be able to do this? Who is this strange-looking person in front of you?
After being silent for a long time, Shen Kong frowned and said, "Who are you and why do you want to save me?"
"Young man, I just 'tasted' your memory fragments and felt that you are a talented person, so I chose to save your life." Mr. Li said with a smile: "What do you think, young man, do you want to come with me? save the world?"
"Save the world." Shen Kong smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for thinking highly of me, but it's a pity that I don't have such a grand ideal, because strictly speaking, I committed suicide. You saved my life, and I might have to commit suicide again after a while. .”
Mr. Li: ""
"Of course, I still have to thank you. How about I help you work for a while and then die?" Shen Kong looked like he had no hope for life. In fact, he had already had the intention to die. All he could say was This mysterious boss named Mr. Li saved him a little unjustly.
"Young man, I have tasted your memory, and naturally I know why you want to die." Mr. Li said slowly: "Your childhood sweetheart Ke'er died in front of you. This is a pity for you, and it is also an eternal loss. The pain that cannot be relieved."
"After your lover died, you felt that there was no point in living. The only belief that supported you was revenge. So when the great revenge was avenged, you chose to die to free yourself. Am I right?"
Perhaps the stranger in front of him could taste everything he had experienced, and Shen Kong felt as if he had met a close friend.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Kong nodded slightly.
"You're right."
"Young man, I can understand your mood, and I can see that you are a passionate person." Li Xian said in a seductive manner: "But have you ever thought that once a person dies, he will have nothing and nothing can be done? "
"Mr. Li, the person I love the most is dead. I don't know what the point of living is." Shen Kong sighed.
Hearing this, Mr. Li paused and said, "You are wrong. As long as you survive, you will have a chance to become strong enough."
"And as long as you are strong enough, anything is possible."
"This naturally includes letting you see your Ke'er again."
The moment Mr. Li finished speaking, Shen Kong's pupils trembled. He stood up suddenly, stared at Mr. Li, and said emotionally.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Don't forget how you survived." Mr. Li stretched out his hand towards Shen Kong, smiled slightly and said: "How about you young man, just follow me."
"You accompany me to save the world, and I'll give you new life. What do you think?"
Looking at Mr. Li who stretched out his hand, Shen Kong's lifeless eyes suddenly became more radiant at this moment. At this moment, he found the meaning of his life.
