Chapter Index

    Yu An’s thoughts were completely tangled.

    But these memories were from over a hundred years ago, and that was according to the Space-Time Bureau’s time flow.

    If converted from the small world, for Xie Jinsheng, that would be three thousand years ago!

    How could someone look ten years old three thousand years ago, and only be twenty-four years old three thousand years later?

    Given that this was the power of the third key, extracting his memories couldn’t be false.

    That could only mean that he really had seen Xie Jinsheng as a child.

    So, had Xie Jinsheng been living in eternal life all these years?

    But if Alpha was really living in eternal life, how would some of the plots in the apocalypse world line up?

    Five years ago, the nineteen-year-old Xie Jinsheng blew up the laboratory, and coincidentally, Little Bamboo Shoot escaped, and Little Bamboo Shoot’s existence confirmed that such a thing did indeed happen.

    If Xie Jinsheng wasn’t living in eternal life…

    Then…

    Yu An paused, a world-shattering idea suddenly appearing in his mind.

    Then, what if everyone in that apocalypse world was constantly being rebooted?

    Only then could all the plots line up without any loopholes. But who had such a powerful force, and what was the reason for doing so?

    The amount of information was too much, he felt like his head was about to explode.

    Little Yu An obviously didn’t have so many complex thoughts.

    He was just frightened when he saw the strange, dark things under the feet of this peer in front of him.

    Little Xie Jinsheng seemed to sense his emotions.

    He lowered his eyes and saw him staring at the tentacles, the tips subconsciously curling up, wanting to hide them. Unfortunately, he was too badly injured.

    The laboratory’s torment, day after day, left him scarred and battered.

    It wasn’t until he was taken away by this sudden magic circle that he had a chance to catch his breath. He didn’t expect the first thing he saw was this human boy.

    About the same age as him.

    But unlike the dirty him, the other party was dressed cleanly, holding a book in his hand, his cheeks well-behaved, tender, and fair, and his frame was small, looking like a little ball.

    –He wouldn’t be sent by those people to hurt him.

    Because someone so weak couldn’t possibly hurt him.

    But the scarred little monster still subconsciously adopted a defensive posture.

    When Yu An came back to his senses, looking at this scene, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, wanting to reach out and touch Xie Jinsheng.

    Unfortunately, the young him was very timid, and upon seeing a stranger, and glimpsing those dark and long tentacles, he quickly moved to a small corner, and very pathetically burst into tears.

    Little Xie Jinsheng: “…”

    The other party pursed his thin lips without saying a word, but a hint of self-loathing after being disgusted flashed in his eyes.

    Yu An: “…”

    He suddenly understood why a certain tentacle monster would later like to go crazy so much.

    With such a degree of sensitivity, who knows how much he liked to overthink in his head. Moreover, those tentacles, for ordinary people, were indeed difficult to accept at first glance.

    Sure enough, Little Yu An was frightened.

    In his young mind, he had never seen anyone dragging these things around.

    Little Yu An cried for a while before stopping, maybe he was tired of crying, or maybe he realized that no one would come to coax him if he cried here.

    So he silently wiped away his tears.

    And those black things were just spread out, with no intention of hurting him. And the scars, they looked very painful…

    He sniffed and took the initiative to break the ice and start a conversation: “Who are you? Why are you in this place? When can we get out?”

    Little Xie Jinsheng: “…”

    Feeling the approach of the well-behaved little ball, his body and tentacles tensed up, seemingly very uncomfortable, as silent as a little mute.

    Seeing this, the young Little Yu An was very dissatisfied that his question was not answered. He had grown up being spoiled, and everyone liked him very much.

    No one had ever treated him so coldly.

    His rebellious spirit came up.

    He deliberately approached the other party, but was dazzled by this tender face that could still be seen to be handsome in the future. Yu An felt his heartbeat seem to accelerate a little, and then said in a milky voice:

    “…You’re really good-looking.”

    Indeed.

    Xie Jinsheng’s face was really good.

    Even Yu An, who had been praised since childhood, had to admit that this man, even when he went crazy, was so handsome that he left no one alive.

    –Making people dare not use force even when slapping him.

    The little monster was stunned when he heard this.

    Seeming to receive such an evaluation for the first time, he was a little incredulous, and embarrassed by the confusion.

    …I didn’t expect Xie Jinsheng in his childhood to be so innocent.

    Yu An couldn’t help thinking in his heart, finding it quite interesting. Then he looked at the magic circle under the little tentacle monster.

    Someone from the Space-Time Bureau used this thing to summon Xie Jinsheng from the apocalypse world here, what did they want to do?

    As he thought about this, he found that his childhood self was quite talkative, unable to stay quiet or keep his mouth shut at all.

    “Are these your tails?” Little Yu An said, poking the tentacles with his fingertip, and said, “So soft! I’ve seen kittens’ tails, and my Wangcai’s, but this is the first time I’ve seen a person with tails, so amazing!”

    Little Xie Jinsheng: “…”

    He seemed to want to explain, but stopped somehow.

    Little Yu An, like discovering a new continent, continued to chatter: “By the way, have you seen Ultraman? The monsters inside also have tails like yours.”

    “…I haven’t seen it.” Maybe he was uncomfortable and helpless being approached, he finally spoke.

    His voice was very hoarse.

    After Little Xie Jinsheng finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and quickly closed his mouth, but he didn’t expect to hear such a sentence in his ear–

    “Wow, your voice is so nice too,” the well-behaved little ball said with bright eyes: “Can I be friends with you?”

    Friend.

    After hearing this, the little tentacle monster was stunned, his pupils slightly dilated, suspecting that he had misheard.

    He probably couldn’t understand how anyone in the world would want to be friends with a monster like him.

    Clearly, he was disliked by people.

    Before he could answer.

    Footsteps came from outside.

    Yu An had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart.

    Probably because he was very sensitive to danger, the self in his memory also stood up at once, saying: “Are the people who bullied you here? Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”

    While saying this, Little Yu An took the red cloth from the basement back.

    At that moment, the tentacle monster seemed to want to pull him. Unfortunately, the red cloth had already been covered.

    After hiding Xie Jinsheng, just as he was about to find a place to hide, a dark figure had already walked behind him, like a ghost.

    Frightening Yu An into a Shiver.

    This was a man wearing a mask, dressed like an English gentleman.

    But those light-colored eyes…

    Made Yu An feel very familiar.

    And most importantly, the other party actually had the energy fluctuation of the Space-Time Bureau!

    The masked man pinched his face, as if examining some tool, and said gloomily:

    “Ah, little ghost. You are the little villain I summoned from the magic circle, right?

    Very good, from now on you are my son, I will definitely cultivate you into the most cold-blooded and wicked big bad guy in the world.”
