Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Time Fog_1

"What exactly happened? He shouldn’t readily resort to this ultimate move."

The dark-haired middle-aged man murmured as he gazed into the fog, and Captain Yan said with some urgency,

"Lorraine Tower, could I trouble you to help rescue the people trapped inside?"

Glancing at Captain Yan, Lorraine Tower calmly said,

"I can’t do that. If he doesn’t intend to release them, there’s nothing I can do to oppose him."

"Hey, whether we rescue them or not is another matter, don’t you think this is a good opportunity to understand him? Let’s go, let’s go in quick—"

The white-haired Gitalien said while grabbing Lorraine Tower’s hand, attempting to rush into the fog, but after several tugs, he realized Lorraine Tower hadn’t budged an inch. Turning around with some dissatisfaction, he said

"What’s the matter with you? We don’t need to make a move just yet. It’s rare to encounter his Time Fog, how can we not take a look? Besides, he wouldn’t harm anyone without a reason."

Shrugging off Gitalien’s hand, Lorraine Tower ignored the inquiries of Captain Yan and Elder Li, and walked straight into the fog. Seeing Lorraine Tower enter, Gitalien hurriedly followed him, while Captain Yan turned to Elder Li and said,

"What do we do now?"

"Since Gitalien said so, and they’ve gone in... Leave the rear guard to prepare for clean-up, everyone else retreat."

"Yes!"

Before leaving, Elder Li stared at the fog for a long time and murmured,

"Time Fog... Named after time, its purpose remains a mystery."

"This is..."

Lorraine Tower raised his hand, trying to summon the silver starlight, but nothing happened. Gitalien looked around the bustling streets with interest and said,

"Could this be the world he lived in before? It doesn’t seem much different from ours."

"I don’t know. It’s either his original world rejecting supernatural powers, or it’s a constraint he set up himself."

After trying and finding that he couldn’t manifest his powers externally in this place, Lorraine Tower pondered, speaking to himself while Gitalien whistled and said,

"Anyway, he’s not going to harm us, so what’s there to fear?"

"I think those up ahead are the humans who got swept up here."

A woman in front panicked and ran about aimlessly. The pedestrians gave her a curious glance and then hurried away, pretending not to see her. Gitalien, pulling Lorraine Tower along, strolled on the lively streets. A woman with a child, upon seeing them, quickly turned and hastened away with the child. As the child looked back from time to time, the woman scolded the child in a low voice. Several passersby glanced at them and then turned away, muttering something under their breath.

"That one, he seems to be his friend, right?"

Seeing Qi Chen, who looked wary and was checking the surroundings, Gitalien curiously dragged the thoughtful Lorraine Tower over. Noticing the newcomers, Qi Chen looked at the white-haired middle-aged man warily and said,

"Are you Lorraine Tower?"

Clapping Qi Chen on the shoulder, Gitalien laughed and said,

"Young man, is your memory that bad?"

"Don’t worry, that guy won’t just create our illusions out of nowhere."

Seeing the vigilance in Qi Chen’s eyes did not diminish, Gitalien waved his hand and said,

"Okay, okay, I am Gitalien. I don’t believe you could have forgotten so quickly after playing cards with him not so long ago."

Realizing Qi Chen was still doubtful, Gitalien said helplessly,

"I can’t prove myself right now; his Time Fog is too severe. Not to mention releasing my powers, I can’t even return to my true form."

"That guy?"

"Feng Yuan, who else could use Time Fog? But what exactly happened to him? This move is far more powerful than something like Dead Realm Descent."

Hearing Gitalien’s words, Qi Chen grew somewhat anxious and said,

"He hasn’t encountered danger, has he?"

"It’s unlikely. If he really faced danger, I doubt it would be Time Fog. This move isn’t meant for defense or attack."

"Time Fog, constructing a world that doesn’t exist within time. This world could be any point in time, or it could be a false world built according to one’s own will. As long as the Time Fog isn’t dismissed, this world is as real as any other."

At some point, Lorraine Tower stopped pondering and looked up, observing the expressions and movements of the passersby, which were indistinguishable from those of real people. Qi Chen anxiously said,

"Then, will we be trapped here?"

"It won’t be that serious, he definitely won’t maintain the Time Mist for too long."

"Hey, Lorraine Tower, you’d better not forget, when he introduced it, he said that time inside and outside of the Time Mist might not be consistent. Maybe by the time he lifts it, this world will have already passed a thousand years."

"So what?"

After casting a glance at Qi Chen, Gitalien nudged him with his mouth and said

"What do you think would happen if he found out he accidentally dragged him into this?"

"This..."

"Come on, let’s go~ I’ll take you to find Feng Yuan~"

Gitalien proudly said, tightening his grip on Qi Chen’s neck. Qi Chen tried to break free but failed and resignedly let Gitalien drag him away.

"Where’s your Ah Mu? Still inside the Spirit Beast Space?"

"Yes, although I can sense the Spirit Beast Space now, I can’t open it, nor can I borrow Ah Mu’s power."

Looking at the bustling shopping district, Qi Chen sighed and said, scanning the surroundings. Gitalien, bored to death, said

"How much does that guy actually like shopping? We’ve been walking for so long and it’s still just shopping malls."

"That... seems like..."

Lorraine Tower looked up at a little girl holding a black doll in confusion, glanced at Gitalien who was a tad bored, and said

"Isn’t that just an Anernia doll."

"Wait! How could there possibly be an Anernia doll in this place?"

Just as Gitalien was about to step forward, the little girl with the doll walked to the side of the road. At this time, several other little girls had already set up their playthings. Gitalien felt a chill down his spine as he watched the girls violently disassemble and then repair the doll, unsure what role they were pretending to play.

"Could it be..."

"It must be one of the two troublemakers that went after him."

Lorraine Tower didn’t know what expression to use to face this situation, while Gitalien suddenly noticed a claw machine by the roadside filled with Anernia dolls. He stepped back a few paces in fear and said

"This couldn’t possibly be..."

"It’s probably his retribution."

Lorraine Tower said somewhat helplessly, guessing that after this, Anernia would definitely stay away from Feng Yuan. While Qi Chen was still in a fog, a little boy came up to them out of nowhere, looked up with a smile, and said

"Big brother~ could you play with me~"

"Of course, we can~"

Gitalien squatted down and rubbed the little boy’s head vigorously. The boy didn’t seem annoyed but just smiled and said

"Really?"

"Of course, but we won’t be playing hide and seek with you~"

"Why not?!"

Watching the little boy argue with Gitalien, Lorraine Tower glanced at the boy and quietly pulled the puzzled Qi Chen aside. After a while, Gitalien successfully convinced the little boy to switch to going to the amusement park.

"Does that kid have some problem?"

On the way to the amusement park, Qi Chen discreetly asked Lorraine Tower. Looking at Qi Chen in surprise, Lorraine Tower said in a low voice

"You’d better not get involved, he’s just looking for trouble."

Qi Chen looked at the little boy with curiosity, feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Getting tickets with the unknown currency that had somehow appeared in his pocket, the four of them entered a theme park. Gitalien disdainfully said

"True to its name, a children’s paradise, it’s all childish rides."

Gitalien didn’t notice the strange glint that flashed through the boy’s eyes when he said that. Lorraine Tower pulled Qi Chen aside and whispered

"Whatever ride he gets on later, you absolutely must not go on it.

Seeing Lorraine Tower only said that and offered no further explanation, Qi Chen was confused but decided to heed the advice.
