HP: At the beginning, I influenced Snape's childhood.

The sun shines brightly, bathing the world in its light.

Early in the morning, Lin Mo had just finished his training when Chang Feng came over and called his name.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo turned around and looked at Chang Feng.

Changfeng glanced at Lin Mo and then spoke up: "Last night, I received a message from my brother. He said there's a new rule that we can't tell anyone about my time travel."

The power of the demon god began to grow stronger, and the various smaller worlds of chaos began to descend into disorder. Irreversian time travel began to occur. Severus was a being from this world; if he were to learn of this, his soul might be devoured by the chaotic currents.

"So you mean I can't let Severus know that I spent two months with him?" Lin Mo asked.

"right."

"It's alright." Lin Mo nodded. If his existence would cause Snape pain, then he would pretend that Snape had never existed.

Changfeng's expression was somewhat solemn. His older brother had issued this rule, which meant that the current situation was not good.

"Let me give you a physical exam, your eyes..." Changfeng had already noticed the abnormality in Lin Mo's left eye, and he also remembered the pendant Lin Mo had given Snape. "If you have any injuries or illnesses, I can help you recover during this journey."

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The next moment, a white halo enveloped Lin Mo, and different colors slowly appeared from bottom to top. The two waited for all the white to completely transform into different colors.

In less than five minutes, all the halos stopped changing color, except for the halo around Lin Mo's left eye, where the color continued to deepen.

"Xiao Mo, the darker the halo, the greater the damage you've suffered. Everything else is fine; I can heal you completely. But what's wrong with your eyes? Can you tell me?" Chang Feng's expression was not good; Lin Mo's left eye was in a condition that was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Lin Mo closed his eyes briefly and nodded in reply, "During a mission, I discovered that the Dark Night's higher-ups were planning to release a new type of poisonous gas in a bustling city near Dragon Capital. I relayed this information to Shadow Court."

As Changfeng listened to Lin Mo's recollection, he could roughly guess that Lin Mo had probably managed to block the poison gas.

"However, everyone in 'Night Dragon' thinks this is a bit difficult to handle, because without a precise location, it's impossible to order everyone to leave the city. Moreover, even if the city lord had the guts to evacuate everyone, the commotion would be too great. Perhaps the Dark Night would receive the news as soon as the order was given."

"It's too late. I can only send a message to Shadow Court again, saying that I will be sent by the higher-ups of Dark Night to complete a mission in that area. I can use this opportunity to stop the release of the poison gas."

"There's not much to say specifically, but the process was somewhat difficult," Lin Mo said, frowning deeply. "In the end... the poison gas still started to dissipate, but no one knew that the poison gas preferred to enter areas with blood."

"They found me quickly. I was so anxious; we could all die, but the people of the city couldn't. They were all desperate criminals. One of them stabbed me in the left eye. They all died, and my eye was also poisoned by the gas."

"Although it seemed fine, only I knew that thing was a time bomb. I had intermittent, excruciating pain in my left eye, like it was about to explode. If my body wasn't completely destroyed... the poison gas might escape again. That's one of the reasons I ultimately chose to die when the Dark Night base was destroyed."

Lin Mo took a deep breath and continued, "I admit that when I received the mission, I was afraid to face the people around my comrades who died at my hands, and even more afraid to face the military flag and national flag under the sunlight... That's the color of bright red blood, not the black blood flowing from my already stained heart. But more than any condemnation, I was most afraid that if the poison gas leaked, it would hurt others."

"So in the end, you chose to sacrifice yourself at the Dark Night Base, a place far from the territory of Xunyu Kingdom?" Changfeng suddenly felt a heavy weight in his heart, as if a breath was pressing down on him, making him feel a little suffocated. He never expected that this young man in front of him, who was only twenty-five years old, could do such a thing.

"Consider it an apology to our fallen brothers..." Lin Mo said slowly, answering Chang Feng, as if giving himself and countless loyal souls an explanation.

After recounting the events, Lin Mo noticed that Changfeng remained lost in thought for a long time. He immediately guessed what Changfeng was thinking and smiled nonchalantly: "Alright, my country has never lacked nameless warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives. Even if I die and everyone thinks I'm a traitor, so what? This is our destiny. From the moment we stepped into Shadow Court, we knew this would be our fate, but as it turns out, it was all worth it."

"I'm exaggerating a bit, but you can look at the city I saved back then. Its economic strength is now approaching that of the number one economy in Xunyu Kingdom." (Here, Lin Mo's exaggeration refers to the fact that he saved a city, but in reality, he did save that city; he just doesn't think so.)

"That's information I found out after a long time of investigation..." Lin Mo said the last sentence in a low voice.

But Changfeng still heard it, and the sense of oppression in his heart grew clearer. What could he say? That a hero who saved tens of thousands of people would die nameless? That a spy who guarded the lights of thousands of homes would be called a traitor? Or that someone who clearly saved the people of an entire city could only watch this prosperous world, which did not belong to him, silently in the darkness and suffering because of the nature of his work?

Ultimately... Lin Mo was just a young man. But Chang Feng understood Lin Mo's meaning perfectly. He didn't need anyone's pity, because there were countless nameless heroes like him in Xunyu Kingdom and Star E. Because he had already been destined to never return once he embarked on this path, because the light in the darkness never needs to be sung.

"The pendant I gave to the child also appeared that time. I discovered that it could relieve the pain caused by the poison gas and delay the explosion of the poison gas. However, the vision in my left eye could not be restored. But then again, my left eye was actually blinded that time." Lin Mo explained the origin of the pendant.

"Don't worry, I can help you," Changfeng said firmly after a long pause. Before Lin Mo could reply, he went into his room, found a dark-colored bottle with gilded decorations, and poured out a pill for Lin Mo.

"My brother gave it to me. It can only help the practitioner repair their body during the journey from their past life to this one; it can't be used after the journey." Changfeng watched Lin Mo eat it without hesitation and laughed, "Aren't you a spy? How come you have no vigilance at all? I gave it to you and you dare to eat it?"

"I believe you." Lin Mo shrugged indifferently.

"I've heard someone say that the only rule for survival in your line of work is to trust no one except yourself," Changfeng said with a smile.

"That's true, but sometimes... even you can't always trust yourself," Lin Mo replied.

"Alright, once you've taken this medicine, I don't need to treat you anymore. This medicine can even heal your injury, let alone others." Changfeng tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve. "Get ready to go."

"Okay." Lin Mo nodded. The next moment, the familiar feeling returned.

Suddenly, Changfeng remembered something and asked Lin Mo, "Xiao Mo, do you want to change your name in this life?"

"Then..." Lin Mo said, sensing the change in space, "Lin Mo, the 'Mo' of 'Mo Falcon'..."

Author's ramblings: Ah~! I overestimated myself. I originally thought I could finish writing the story of Xiao Mo meeting Boyan in this chapter... Well, I guess I'll meet Si Jiao in the chapter after next, hahahahaha!

As for the poison gas incident, it belongs to a fictional world, and many things there are not part of our actual lives. There are some fantastical elements involved, so don't take it too seriously.
