Start a Core Pod

 “Good guy, this is really...”

Duanmuhuai had to admit that this was the first time he encountered such a strange situation.

 Is this BOSS a scumbag? Can't beat the reading file?

Is there still such an expansion?

 “Forget it, let’s do it again.”

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

“This time we are going to the festival venue early. Since we already know that they will cause trouble at the festival venue, let’s see what these **** are planning to do!”

 Duanmuhuai’s plan is very good, but...

 “Holy shit————!”

　　When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and found that he was shopping with Mary, he was speechless.

"What's going on………"

Mary was also speechless. Originally, the two of them stayed in a hotel just now, and then after dinner and getting dark, they went to a room to rest and recharge their batteries. As a result, not long after lying down, when he opened his eyes - time went back to the time they were on their way to the hotel after arriving on the island. The only thing I have to say is that at least I didn’t start from the beginning this time, but more like reading the automatic save on the road...

 “Hmm…I think it might not be our problem.”

Duanmu Huai also frowned and started thinking.

 “Not our problem?”

“Yes, I originally thought that this might be a trick of the mastermind on the opposite side to prevent us. Now it seems that we might just be involved... There is someone else who really traveled through time."

 “Huh? Is that so?”

 “I think that’s right.”

Facing Mary’s surprised inquiry, Duanmuhuai nodded. The reason why he made this judgment is also very simple. If the first time can be considered to be the BOSS's own force, then the second time there is no reason at all. They were teleported back to the past before they even saw the BOSS. , which is obviously illogical.

Then there is only one other possibility, and that is that he and Mary were involved in someone's time retrieval.

This is not impossible, and Duanmuhuai can also think of the reasons.

 He is now a god, existing in the past, present and future at the same time as the Chaos God. In other words, no matter what time period it is, there is and is only one Duanmuhuai in this world, so there will be no three types of "him in the past", "him now" and "him in the future". Therefore, when someone goes back to the past, and Duanmuhuai exists in that past, then Duanmuhuai himself will naturally exist.

As for Mary, the reason is similar. Although she is not the God of Destruction like Duanmu Huai, Mary's golden eyes are also unique. Considering Mary's high resistance to magic and the uniqueness of the golden eyes, maybe this It is the reason why Mary will go back to the past with herself.

 After all, the golden pupil is the only one.

"That is to say...at that festival, someone went back to the past, so we followed him back to the past. And it was the same last night...if that person went back to the past for some reason, we would also be Involved?"

"That's about it. Now I just want to find out which **** traveled through time every three days and brought us into this trouble!"

 Duanmu Huai is very unhappy now.

 “But…do ordinary masterminds have such power?”

Mary is still very cautious. Although she does not think she is very powerful, Mary knows that Duanmu Huai is very strong. Even he cannot escape...

 “Not an ordinary BOSS.”

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

 “We are all familiar with that power.”

 “Huh? Really?”

"Yes, that day at the festival, I felt the breath. It was the breath of the Old One from the Dark Star Territory..."

 Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly. At that time, when a red light emitted over the shrine and a tidal wave of shadows erupted, Duanmuhuai felt the aura of the old ruler. Although he was very weak, Duanmuhuai, who also possessed the [Old God's Will], could be sure that the other party was... A substitute of the same type as myself...no, it's the Old One!

By the way, it is not impossible for Duanmuhuai to break through time and go back. Because in Duanmu Huai's mind, that kind of time rewinding is a bit like when you encounter waves on the beach, and the waves want to roll you back. Since the force of this wave is not great, Duanmuhuai can break free with just a little force.

 But he did not do this. The reason was simple. Duanmuhuai had always been very cautious about interfering with time. He did not want to destroy the flow of time all at once and cause more trouble than the current BOSS. After all, Duanmu Huai can defeat this BOSS with one punch.

 But if you want to interfere with or destroy the flow of time and attract the Dogs of Tindalos or Yog-Sothoth, then it is not a problem that can be solved with one punch.

 So Duanmu Huai decisively chose to go with the flow and not be swept back by the waves of time first.

 “The Old Ones…”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary's expression tightened at first, and then relaxed.

Phew...Fortunately, since I met Duanmuhuai, I have almost dealt with this kind of guy.

And anyway, compared with the old relatives that Mary met before, at least the ones here are not too disgusting... Well, recalling the four-armed shadow man from before, Mary also breathed a sigh of relief; After expelling the old relatives and facing the old gods, among other things, those things really affect appetite... Half of the reason why Mary maintains such a good figure is that the more she looks at these things, the less likely she is to eat. appetite……

 “So, isn’t our power to look back because of the shady story?”

 “Not sure, did you see anyone else at that time?”

At that time, Duanmuhuai rushed up to beat the person, not bothering to care about what was going on around him. Mary was behind him, so she might have a clearer view. "Um………"

Mary thought for a moment, then seemed to think of something and clapped her hands gently.

“Ah, I remembered, there seemed to be a person lying not far away. I remember that that time the shadow man with four arms launched an attack on you, Mr. Duanmu, and then..."

"Then?"

“Then Mr. Duanmu, you bounced the bullet...The bullet seemed to have hit that person..."

　　　…………Is there such a thing?”

 “Uh...yeah.”

Hearing Mary's answer, Duanmu Huai was also speechless for a moment.

 What else can be done? Can that person just be considered unlucky?

"In other words, the bullet I bounced hit the unlucky guy, and when he died, time went back? That's why we came back together? Who is that person?"

Duanmuhuai touched his chin and looked at Mary again.

 “Do you know what he looks like?”

"Sorry, the situation was urgent at the time, and the person was relatively far away from me. I can only say that judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a local."

 “Man? Woman?”

"man."

"oh."

Male, that’s fine, let him be unlucky.

“In short, let’s look around. There are only more than 700 people in this town. As long as we search, we should be able to find the person we are looking for.”

Duanmuhuai curled his lips and made a decision.

However, the facts told him that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

 “I...fuck!”

　　When Duanmu Huai came back to his senses and looked at the sunset beside him, he wanted to curse.

 “What’s going on with this guy? He’s a good guy and loves to play, right?”

No wonder Duanmu Huai complained so much. There were still three days before the festival. The first time they went back was at the festival three days later. Duanmu Huai originally thought that the second time back should be around the same time, but it turned out that they were visiting As for the street, the next moment Duanmu Huai's eyesight turned dark, and it was back to dusk.

 In other words, this time some idiot couldn't even make it through the first day of reading?

“The first time we went back was when we just arrived on the island, the second time we were walking on the street... This is the third time...”

Mary looked around at the streets and was silent for a moment.

“In other words, the other party’s ability to go back in time is not the same as starting from the beginning?”

“It’s okay, maybe he automatically saved the story when he reached some point, and then GAMEOVER restarted from the auto-save location, which made us load the files with him.”

Duanmu Huai now feels that this is really troublesome. I don’t know if this BOSS is strong or not, but his ability to load files is really disgusting.

 “I have no choice but to continue to try my luck.”

 After these few times, Duanmuhuai has learned a lesson. Originally, he thought the node was the festival three days later, so he took his time. Unexpectedly, the two consecutive setbacks completely frustrated his idea. If this was the case, it meant that this town must not have been normal during the past three days. So he gave up his original plan and waited until nightfall to search the town with Mary - after all, villains usually do it in the dark if they want to do bad things.

Just wait until night and see if anyone is sneaking around, then follow them and you will know.

But the hard work paid off, and when Duanmuhuai stayed until early in the morning, he finally discovered something strange.

 “Hey, did you see it? Mary?”

Standing on the hillside, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and pointed downwards - on the street below, he could see several men and women walking out of their homes. Each of them seemed to be inspired by something, and walked out of the house quietly. , walked forward along the street, and at the front of them was the black shadow monster with four hands, carrying a little **** its shoulders.

“That’s the monster we saw at the festival before.”

Mary stared at the people in the distance carefully.

 “Are we going to take action? Mr. Duanmu?”

"Don't worry, let's see where they go... this direction is... um..."

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked forward.

“Let’s go, let’s follow them and see what they plan to do.”

 Subsequently, Duanmuhuai made a decision.
