It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 264 [020] It only takes 1 second to travel through time, should be easy, right?

Qin Jiandan rushed back to the Yelonghui headquarters at 7:, but was unable to see his master.

Doctor Li summoned Qin Jiandan, Hu Chi, and Linlin, a total of four insiders, to the lounge of the martial arts training ground to discuss urgent issues.

"…Just as Tiger Chi saw with his own eyes, the president locked himself and the previous president's black mist remnant soul in different timelines, to be precise, one second before ours."

The four people sat around the empty bed. Doctor Li, who was sitting opposite Qin Jiandan, told them about the president's disappearance and the real name of the Steel Armor Breathing Technique.

Qin Jiandan felt his hair stand on end. He fiddled with his knuckles beside Linlin:
"Is the real name of the Steel Armor Breathing Technique actually "Yin Beast Armor"? No wonder the Steel Armor Breathing Technique failed briefly when I was fighting the Ancient Corpse Yin Beast. Is this an abnormal synchronization between similar substances?"

Linlin shuddered, and her pink hair swayed slightly.
"The black fog eats people. It will evolve into a Yin Beast after eating living things. Will your brother's life be in danger if he practices this kind of "Yin Beast Armor"?"

Doctor Li's glasses reflected a dazzling white light. As he spoke, he controlled a device in his hand that looked like a combination of a radio and a game controller:
"Everyone should remember that you must never refer to the Steel Armor Breathing Technique as 'Yin Beast Armor' outside, otherwise it may cause unrest in various fields."

After Linlin nodded to confirm, Doctor Li answered Linlin's question:

"Although the sample is small, I guess that the final outcome of practicing the Steel Armor Breathing Technique is to be eaten by the black fog and become a true Yin Beast."

"!!"

Linlin's eyes widened and she was speechless. Her black pupils were soon soaked with tears. Qin Jiandan, as the person involved, was quite calm. He comforted his sister instead:

"It doesn't matter. How you die is not important. Besides, Master lived to be 80 years old and it was fine."

Linlin put her hands on her knees and sobbed:

"Master, why...why did you let my brother practice this unlucky martial arts..."

Tiger Chi was just thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't succeed in practicing it, when Doctor Li said:
"The former president's black mist remnant soul is imprisoned on the 18th floor underground. The purpose is to extract a "seed" from him and implant it into your bodies as a prerequisite for practicing the Steel Armor Breathing Technique. In chronological order, they include Ouyang Suixing, Hu Chi, Qin Jiandan, Linlin..."

Tiger Chi almost spit out his thirst-quenching energy drink:
"I'm not surprised if there's me, but why is there Linlin? Will the black mist seeds in her body damage her health and cause her to suffer from phlogiston disease?"

The black fog is a kind of "living phlogiston ash" with self-awareness. People have always believed that the black fog not only eats people, but also that people who have close contact with the black fog are more likely to suffer from phlogiston disease.

Linlin felt relieved when she heard this. She hugged Qin Jiandan's left arm and leaned against her brother:

"Master, maybe he wants me to die with my brother? When my brother is eaten by the black fog, it would be great if the black fog seeds in my body could also be activated..."

Tiger Chi frowned:

"Linlin, don't talk nonsense. Master would never do such a boring thing. Doctor Li, if the "Yin Beast Armor" on Jiandan explodes, you won't let Linlin and I be buried together, right?"

Qin Jiandan looked at Hu Chi across the hospital bed:
"Brother, it's not very nice of you to say that! Although I don't want Linlin to die with me, it seems like Linlin is willing to die with me... Why do you look so reluctant?"

"Nonsense!" Tiger Chi snorted, "If Linlin dies with you, it's called dying for love, but if I die with you, it's a waste! Doctor Li, the black mist seeds in our bodies won't have any side effects, right?"

Doctor Li fiddled with the antenna of the device, and the device made a rustling sound:

"I'm not an expert on the steel armor breathing method, but according to my research, the black fog is a kind of "collective consciousness creature". All the black fogs in the world are interconnected. The closer the distance, the denser the connection."

As if deliberately trying to strengthen the connection with the black mist in her body, Linlin hugged her brother's arm tightly. In front of Doctor Li and Tiger Maniac, Qin Jiandan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to break free, for fear of hurting his sister.

Doctor Li continued:

"The process of extracting the black mist seeds is extremely dangerous, and only the president can do it. The president has implanted the black mist seeds in you without you knowing it, and theoretically you have the possibility to practice the steel armor breathing method. At the same time, the black mist seeds have a certain immunity to phlogiston disease. The president must have implanted the black mist seeds in Linlin based on this."

"I see!"

Qin Jiandan suddenly realized that he was just thinking that Master asking Linlin to practice the Steel Armor Breathing Method was too outrageous. It turned out that the implantation of seeds was just for vaccination. Although Master favored boys over girls, he still doted on Linlin secretly.

I heard that the black fog seeds would not cause phlogiston disease, but would have a certain immune effect. Tiger Chi breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems that even though I haven't mastered the steel armor breathing method, there are still some benefits to having black fog seeds in my body. The black fog residual soul of my master can actually produce immune seeds. If the outside world knew about it, they might form a group to plunder my master!" The fragments and scratches that Hu Chi received in the morning were not treated, and he simply applied a few biochemical bandages. He was terrified when talking about his master, but Qin Jiandan and Linlin didn't feel it was real.

Qin Jiandan asked Doctor Li:
"Master is now trapped in the previous second of our timeline. Although he left a message asking me to absorb the energy of the 18th floor underground, can I save Master just by absorbing the energy? What should I do specifically?"

At this time, Doctor Li finally adjusted the game controller and radio combination in his hand:

"Jian Dan, this is a 'trans-time and space communicator'. When you enter the time and space turbulence on the 18th floor underground, I can lock onto the black fog particles on your body and communicate with you across time and space. However, the communication window is very unstable, so you must be prepared to lose contact with me at any time."

"Communication across time and space!?" Linlin and Hu Chi exclaimed at the same time.

Linlin: "Could it be that after brother goes down to the 18th floor, he will...travel through time?"

Tiger Chi: "After the sword pill absorbs energy, it can also enter the previous second of our timeline and bring back the disappeared master?"

Doctor Li nodded: "You are all right, but everything is just theory. Even this "inter-time and space communicator" has not been tested."

"Jian Dan, whether you can successfully cross over, and whether you can bring the president back after crossing over, I can't guarantee these. There is a possibility that you, like the president, are trapped in a different time and space from us."

Qin Jiandan felt his sister hugging his left arm tighter. It was a hug that showed she didn't want to lose her brother and she wanted to melt his body into her heart.

Although the possibility of being separated from his sister forever suddenly loomed before his eyes, Qin Jiandan still made up his mind:
"I want to go. Master raised Linlin and me, and his kindness to us is as great as a mountain. As long as there is a possibility of returning, I will also give it a try!"

Linlin sighed helplessly as if to agree. Doctor Li continued to act as the narrator:
"The biggest secret of Ringstone City is the phlogiston crystal. Even for the company, the efficiency of using the phlogiston crystal is quite limited. When consuming phlogiston crystal or phlogiston coal, a part of the energy will always escape into the air."

"This free energy is spread all over the Ringstone City. When using their powers, the psychics turn themselves into a medium, expressing this free energy through their own transformation. In this way, they have done something that completely violates the law of conservation of energy and can be called a miracle to outsiders."

"The black mist is the ashes of living phlogiston. It strangely connects all the free energy in time and space. Alexander's time ability and the black mist on the president's body, as well as the black mist residual soul of the previous president, caused a chain reaction, which turned the 18th underground floor into an abnormal space where the time ability swept and roared."

"Except for Jian Dan, no one else can enter the 18th floor underground. Jian Dan, once you enter, you must also be prepared to be instantly pulled into the vortex and forced to "time jump"."

Qin Jiandan agreed:
"I will be ready. I will go to save Master no matter what. Since Master left a message saying that Doctor Li and I can handle the crisis, it must not be too difficult."

Although he wanted to call Mu Yue before leaving, Qin Jiandan felt he couldn't bring himself to say words like "farewell".

Moreover, the master is trapped in a different timeline and his condition has been very serious recently. Qin Jiandan doesn't want to waste any more time.

Everything was kept simple. Qin Jiandan said goodbye to Doctor Li, Hu Chi, and his sister as usual, and took the high-speed elevator to the 18th floor underground alone.

Before the elevator door closed, Linlin's reluctant look lingered in his mind. With the determination to return successfully burning in his chest, Qin Jiandan walked into a pure white space-time turbulence.

It hurts! Why the hell does it hurt so much! Is this the Steel Armor Breathing Technique... or is it that the Yin Beast Armor is absorbing the dissipated time energy? There is so much, it is about to overflow! It only takes one second to travel through time, so it doesn't require so much energy, right?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! !

A violent shock came, as if all the molecules in his body were destroyed and then reassembled. Qin Jiandan opened his eyes that were tightly closed because of the great pain all over his body.

"Eh? Why are we outside? Did we cross to the wrong place?"

Looking around, Qin Jiandan found that this was vaguely Yingtong Street in the 2nd District of the Outer City, but the nearby shops looked a little strange. Some buildings were newer than he remembered, some were older than he remembered, and some shop signs were different from what he remembered...

Wait! If I only traveled for 1 second, it would not cause such a large range of buildings to be different in age, right? Then how long did I travel?
"Hey, big brother, don't suddenly run out and block the way! And you're looking around furtively, it's really disgusting~"

A familiar voice came from behind. Qin Jiandan turned around but didn't notice the other person immediately. He looked down and saw a little red-haired girl wearing a five-petal ninja costume and a ponytail. She stood with her hands on her hips and spoke to Qin Jiandan in a proud manner:
"Fufufu~ You're so big, can't you find a job? You're an adult, but you're wandering around the streets in broad daylight. You look like a nobody from head to toe!"

The muscles under Qin Jiandan's eyes twitched. The other person was definitely Xiao Xia in terms of both appearance and clothing, except for his age, which was a big problem.

"Hmm, hmm~ I'm in a good mood today, so I'll reluctantly accept you as my "one-day slave". Yingtong Street is my father's territory, so you better be careful when serving me, or you'll be cut into three pieces and wriggle on the ground, which will be even more embarrassing than the way you are now, hahahaha!"

Qin Jiandan was furious after hearing this. Now he was sure that there was an accident in the "time jump". It was not a jump to the previous second at all, it was a jump forward of at least five years!

The evidence is that judging from Xiao Xia's height and overflowing childishness, she is only 12 years old at most. And she keeps calling him "trash brother" and so on, which makes her look like a little devil! It seems that it is not unfair for Xiao Xia to be bombarded by me in the future!
