Early the next morning, Gu Chen and Lu Ping arrived at the agreed address on time. When they arrived, they discovered that the place turned out to be a small park.
The old people were doing Tai Chi, and the children were chasing each other and playing, it was a peaceful and peaceful scene. Who would have thought that the two guys sitting next to the stone bench and playing chess at this moment were actually devils from hell.
"We are here as agreed." Lu Ping's expression was very serious. The strength of the two guys in front of him was far beyond his understanding...
Vincent put down the chess piece, "Oh, hello, I think you are Lu Ping, also known as Blood Chain. I have admired you for a long time." He said this, but there was no hint of long-term admiration in his tone.
Gu Chen asked straight to the point: "Who are you and what is your purpose?"
A strange laugh came, and Woody pushed up his glasses and replied: "His name is Vincent, and I am Woody. We are from hell and are messengers of Satan, which is the so-called devil, or devil, in the Bible."
It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. We can't reveal too much about hell to mortals. You will know it after you die.
This time we came to China to carry out a mission, and we came to you because we need your help."
Gu Chen smiled and said: "Mission? Let me believe that what you said is true. What is the devil's mission? It won't be to massacre the city or to rule the city or something, right?"
Woody still smiled strangely: "Hehehehe... It seems that this little brother has a deep prejudice against us people from hell."
Gu Chen put a cigarette in his mouth: "I once heard two American colleagues mention what you devils have done, which impressed me deeply..."
"Hehehe... So, mortals are just ignorant. Don't compare us with those bastards who are afraid of holy water and sunshine."
Gu Chen looked like he didn't care: "What's the difference?"
Vincent on the side said: "I can't tell you too many details. Let me give you an example. Hell and heaven are like two subsidiaries of a large company. The chairman is God. These two companies have their own functions and functions.
jurisdictions, and sometimes conflicts.
Everywhere, there will be scum, so some low-level demons will escape to the human world to eat human flesh and blood. Those bastards are the targets of capture by both us and heaven."
Lu Ping was still wary: "So according to your statement, you are actually good people?"
Vincent sneered: "Haha... good people? The so-called justice and evil are just the narrow illusions of you mortals. We don't need anyone's understanding and affirmation. We just do our best in our long and endless life."
Just to have some fun."
Gu Chen said: "Then, why do you want to cooperate with us?"
Vincent did not answer him immediately, but sighed: "Little girl, you don't want to listen to the rest of this. Let's go."
Shui Yingyao walked out of the woods nearby, "Why? If you are really sincere in cooperating with the ghost hunters, why do you avoid me alone?"
"Hey hey hey... Of course we have good reasons. According to my analysis, if you participate, the variables and failure rate of the plan will increase by about 50%. This is data that I really don't want to see."
When Gu Chen heard these words, he immediately understood what their so-called "cooperation" was about. He leaned into Lu Ping's ear and said a few words. Lu Ping suddenly understood, and then said: "Ah, that... Xiao Shui
Ah, we are safe, you don’t have to worry, just go back."
Shui Yingyao saw that her own people wanted to drive her away, and she didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, so she had to leave alone and depressed.
After she walked away, Woody continued: "Hey hey hey... Your name is Gu Chen, right? He seems to be a very interesting guy... How about we take some time to drink tea and chat alone?"
Gu Chen squinted with disgust and said, "I don't have your hobbies..."
Vincent interrupted: "Don't worry, Woody actually has a girlfriend... Let's get back to the subject, I think you just guessed that this matter is about Fu Ding'an."
Lu Ping asked: "Do you have any news about him?"
"We don't know where he is, but we know what he is doing. It is a very dangerous thing, and it is also what we want to prevent in this mission. So for now, we have the same purpose and cooperation will be more beneficial."
After Gu Chen finished smoking, he changed another one and lit it: "Then let's talk about it, what is Fu Ding'an's plan?"
Vincent said: "First of all, I will explain to you a concept - Time Devourer.
You probably have never known that there is such a group of people, or rather, the existence of such a group of things. They look like people and live around you, leading an ordinary life. Maybe they are some inconspicuous classmates of yours in middle school, maybe they are
It's a neighbor who once lived next door to you for a few years, or maybe even an old man who was doing Tai Chi over there.
They need to eat and sleep just like people, but they also have a hobby, which is to devour time. Like vampires, this is an instinct that cannot be stopped."
Gu Chen interrupted: "In multi-dimensional space, time can be said to be just a human illusion. Unlike other spatial variables, time cannot be seen, touched, or tasted. In a sense, this thing cannot be seen at all.
Existence, then how to devour it?”
Vincent continued: "In fact, everything can be interfered with, including time, but it is more difficult to interfere with something that is unique and irreversible. To give a simple example, you sometimes feel
Time flies so fast. For example, if you are sitting in a coffee shop and are distracted, when you come back to your senses, you may feel that about half an hour has passed, but when you look at the watch, more than two hours have passed.
This is what Time Devourers do. They are born with the ability to devour time and can absorb time within a certain range as their own energy. Therefore, their lifespan is actually unlimited.
Because they have touched a field that only gods can control, the Time Devourers are very low-key. This is a very docile race. Such is their nature. They only occasionally devour some time and will not attract other people's attention. Sometimes the world even needs them.
so.
But this time, they seem to have gone too far. All the time devourers in this city have been active on a large scale recently. If the situation continues like this, then New Year's Eve is the night when the time devourers have the strongest appetite.
On that day, there will be a space-time gap in this city, and it will be isolated from this world. Anyone who walks out of this city will immediately die of old age."
After hearing this, Gu Chen took a deep breath from his cigarette: "You mean, it's Fu Ding'an who is behind this?"
Before Vincent could answer, Lu Ping stood up excitedly: "You can't be wrong, Fu Ding'an's ability is related to time, it must be him!"
Under Woody's flooded lenses, the squinted glasses suddenly opened, and the suffocating and terrifying momentum spread instantly: "Hey hey hey... So that's it, it turns out that Fu Ding'an's death was God's will... Humph...
