Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 206

Chapter 206

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath. In an instant, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and goose bumps rose all over their skin.

Jiang Yu rubbed her neck and bared her teeth. “Sister Sheng, don’t scare us like that!”

Rules and Order Type abilities were already rare. At present, counting Sheng An, there were only four. Sheng An’s Supernatural Ability had yet to be fully confirmed, Shan Hua was a cat, and Zhuang Fan and Qin Xuan both had major flaws…

Under these circumstances, for another Rules and Order Type to appear was terrifying just to think about.

And what did Time, as a Rules and Order Type, even mean?

That was power truly equivalent to God!

The hardest thing in this world to control was Time. An Aberrants that could control Time?

Forget Jiang Yu-even Gu Qiansheng, Li Wanyun, and the others felt a chill run down their backs, unease stirring faintly inside them.

Sheng An remained very calm.

The stronger the opponent, the calmer she became. She analyzed evenly, “When you pulled us into your Space Ability, we returned to where we were the next instant. It wasn’t that your Supernatural Ability couldn’t be used. It was that you used it, and then the Time Aberrant pulled us back again.”

Jiang Yu opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but not a single word came out.

Zhang Kun froze for a moment, then abruptly realized it as well.

Back then, it hadn’t been that they couldn’t use their Supernatural Ability, nor had they been hit by Silence. They had used them, but had then been dragged back.

That was why the Barrier he raised would disappear almost immediately afterward.

What had changed wasn’t them-it was Time!

Everything connected.

Jiang Yu suddenly said, “Huh? Then doesn’t that mean that back then, as long as Zhang Kun kept activating his Supernatural Ability, or I kept taking everyone in, the other side would keep pulling us back, and death would never arrive?”

Wu Buyu said, “Are you trying to exploit a bug here?”

Long Tianyu shook his head. “We saw it very clearly from the sky. The lava never paused, not even briefly.”

In other words, Time had only acted on them.

If they tried to exploit that bug, they would only be completely swallowed by the lava.

Li Xin’s scalp went numb. “This ability is way too terrifying. How are we supposed to deal with it?”

Wu Buyu and the others subconsciously stole glances at Sheng An from the corners of their eyes.

Her Supernatural Ability…

Seemed to be that same overpowered ability.

Sheng An had already finished eating and looked to be in decent spirits. She wiped the corner of her mouth and continued, “Many of our previous doubts can now be explained. Why did the Fragments disappear into thin air? Why did the Aberrants also disappear into thin air?”

Jia Guangliang was holding his bowl, and he nearly jumped up, his voice rising sharply-

“In other words, the Fragments disappeared because the Time Aberrant took them away at some point in the past, so of course they vanished from my side too?!”

He had placed the Fragments in a certain location, but it was impossible for him to guard them at all times.

The Time Aberrant could find a time when he wasn’t guarding them and take the Fragments away. And in the present, the result presented to him would be:

The Fragments were gone.

Qi Lingwu nodded.

Jia Guangliang: “…”

Even the others fell silent.

This ability really was far too overpowered!!

Cheng Bairuo, who was still missing an arm, weakly interjected, “Then where is this Time Aberrant?”

Sheng An looked at him.

The “Non-mainstream” had worked very hard earlier, and after his messy, overlong hair had been burned away, he looked much easier on the eyes.

Sheng An replied, “I don’t know.”

Cheng Bairuo: “…”

Gu Qiansheng’s eyes went unfocused as he stared at the Scorched Earth beneath him and murmured, “Right… How would we know where the Time Aberrant is? If the other side can pass through Time, then it can hide at any point in Time…”

No wonder Sheng An had only been able to secretly plan with Qi Lingwu before.

Because the Time Aberrant might be hiding in some other Time Layer around them at any moment, watching them, knowing everything that happened to them!

And the moment they thought of that, a chill crawled up their scalps. Even in such hot weather, with the Volcano erupting in the distance, they still couldn’t help shivering.

Ji Yani shook her head, not daring to keep thinking about it, and asked, “Why didn’t the Time Aberrant kill us at some other point in Time?”

Song Linwei said, “Ever since we entered the Southwest, we’ve barely separated. With Shan Hua around, the other side may not have had any chance to act.”

Everyone looked toward the cat.

It was crouched quietly beside Sheng An, its beautiful eyes fixed on them, as if it understood their analysis, listening with composure and calm.
When they looked at it, it merely twitched its ears and gave them a sidelong glance, its whole body radiating an aloof air that said-

Don’t touch me, damn it.

Jiang Yu reached out and rubbed it hard twice, shrieking, “Aaaah, this is amazing! Shan Hua, thank goodness we have you! Otherwise, Wu Buyu and Long Tianyu wouldn’t have been able to take us away!”

The Time Ability was seriously unfair.

And fortunately, they had the Rule and Order Ability: Loophole. This cat might not look like much, but it was truly important!!

They were grateful this world had it.

Grateful it was so powerful, and even more grateful it had come to their home of its own accord.

Shan Hua: “Awoo-”

Its fur puffed up on the spot from all the rubbing. It was furious.

“Can Shan Hua find the Time Aberrant?” Li Wanyun asked curiously.

Sheng An shook her head. “Not necessarily. The other party may not be in our point in Time.”

As if Jiang Yu had thought of something, she leaned forward, her voice excited. “In other words, the Mutant Plant we saw before might not have been nonexistent?!”

Sheng An smiled as well and nodded.

Qi Lingwu had seen things more clearly from the sky. He analyzed, “The Mutant Plant really was being hunted at the time. I don’t think it noticed you. The one hunting it may have been the Time Aberrant.

“The Time Aberrant let you see what was happening on another Time Layer, chased it up the mountain, and made you follow it up there-straight into the Volcano eruption.”

Even the Volcano eruption might have been the Time Aberrant’s doing.

Four Small Mountains were Volcanos to begin with. After the Meteorite impact, earthquakes, and plate movements, there was no guarantee those Volcanos would still be peaceful.

But the Time Aberrant could make them “see” a peaceful scene. It could even keep acting on the Volcanos, freezing in Time the eruption that should have happened.

Whether it dragged them to the exact moment of eruption or froze it in place, as long as they entered the trap, that would be the Time of the Volcano eruption.

This step was troublesome-but perhaps not difficult.

Sheng An’s eyes were bright. “The Mutant Houttuynia must still be alive. If it could survive under the Time Aberrant’s pursuit for so long and still have such vigorous vitality while being hunted, then it wouldn’t die that easily!”

No wonder the Mutant Houttuynia had looked so battered.

It had been hunted all along-perhaps it had been hunted the entire time!

“Then what Time Layer is it on right now?” Li Xin asked.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu exchanged a glance, then spoke at the same time:

“Apocalypse Month Three!”

The Southwest was an enormous blood-supply reservoir. Beneath the Blood Pool, where the Meteorite Fragment was stored, where the Blood Pool Aberrant was located-all of it was still in Apocalypse Month Three!

The only thing whose Time had truly been accelerated was the Southwest Blood Pool.

Song Linwei suddenly understood and slapped his forehead. “Right! The Time Aberrant is powerful, but that power must have limits. If it were truly strong enough to do anything, it would’ve broken out of the Southwest long ago.”

Gu Qiansheng added, “The Time Aberrant probably can’t stay shuttling through Time forever, and there’s no need for it to. The entire Southwest only has two Time Layers.”

“Apocalypse Month Three and Apocalypse Year Three!”

Wu Buyu’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. “The Southwest Blood Pool is in Apocalypse Year Three, while there’s another Time Layer-the Apocalypse Month Three that should have existed. It’s entirely possible the Time Aberrant is in Apocalypse Month Three, using the Blood Pool and the Fragments to make the Southwest’s Time speed up over a long period!”

Sheng An affirmed their speculation. “Yes. So the fresh, living Mutant Houttuynia is very likely in Apocalypse Month Three.”

As for why it had not entered the Time Aberrant’s Time…

That was probably related to its uniqueness as well.

Long Tianyu, Li Wanyun, and the others all came to a sudden realization, their expressions complicated.

With Sheng An stepping into the game once, and this single discussion of theirs, the utterly baffling “Southwest Mystery” had slowly unfolded before their eyes…

They were about to touch the full truth!

Gu Qiansheng raised his hand. “Last question-Sister Sheng, how do we find the Time Aberrant?”

Sheng An smiled.

She looked in the direction of the Southwest Market. At that moment, a massive Convoy was speeding toward them.

“It’s here.”
