Chapter 2442 The Clock Is Pulled Closer

After flying for more than ten miles in silence, Sanders did not speak.

Seeing that they were already far away from the Ghost Dock Island, Angel thought for a while and took the initiative to ask: "Teacher, do you have anything to ask me?"

Sanders glanced at Angel lightly: "The reason you went back was not to see the birth of disorder, right?"

"Sure enough, the teacher still understands me."

Angel's answer has proved that Sanders's guess is correct.

Sanders stopped and hovered in the air: "I believe you decided to return, there must be a reason to go. But I still hope you understand one thing."

"What is it?" Angel also stopped and looked back.

"Everything in the world, including what you think is important, is not as precious as life." Sanders paused: "Only when you are alive, you have everything. If you die, everything will end."

Angel understood what Sanders meant by this.

Sanders did not stop him from beginning to end. This may be a value orientation in dealing with interpersonal relationships, but it does not mean that Sanders really supports all of Angel's choices.

He just respects Angel's opinions and is unwilling to interfere with other people's choices.

But his true thoughts might be similar to those of Nice and others. He didn't really want Angel to participate in the affairs of the center of the fog belt.

The affairs there not only exceeded the limitations of the southern region, but also exceeded the limits of the energy level.

Even if Lord Rhine went there, there would be a risk of falling if he was not careful, let alone Angel.

So, even if Sanders had supported Angel's decision before, he still didn't want to watch Angel go to his death. So he chose to fly with Angel and used warning words as a dissuasion.

"Do you want to see your brother, thousands of miles away, sad for you? Your enlightenment mentor, lonely in the ice coffin turned into bones? And the people you value, and the people who value you... sad?"

Angel pondered for a moment and said silently: "I don't want it."

"Is this what you think in your heart?"

"Yes."

Sanders looked at Angel still standing there, and whispered: "Are you still going to return to the center of the fog belt, even if you don't want the people you cherish to be sad?"

Angel hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Sanders was silent for a long time this time. After nearly half a minute, he spoke again: "You... do you think you can survive?"

Sanders still did not ask Angel's purpose, but asked a result that had no answer and was more idealistic.

"Yes." Angel was very sure.

Sanders narrowed his eyes: "Do you believe that someone can save you?"

Angel: "..."

"You want to ask me why I am sure that someone will save you?"

Angel smiled and did not say yes or no.

"You dare to answer "yes" so confidently, which must mean that you have confidence. I don't know where your confidence comes from, but it is almost certain that there are only those types."

"The Inspector, the Nightmare Realm... and the Void." Sanders said almost certain.

The reason for this speculation is actually very simple. In Sanders' opinion, those who can seek opportunities in the center of the fog belt must at least have special abilities or legendary strength.

And such an existence, related to Angel, the first person he thought of must be the Inspector.

The attitude of the Inspector towards Angell was obviously different from that of others. Therefore, the Inspector is a possibility. However, since the Inspector let Angell go before, it is a bit repetitive to call him back now, which makes Sanders feel that the Inspector may be relatively low.

In addition to the Inspector, the creatures of the Nightmare Realm can also help Angell.

The creatures of the Nightmare Realm are more mysterious and more powerful. Angell's status in the Nightmare Realm may allow some of the creatures of the Nightmare Realm to help him and become his confidence in going to the center of the fog belt this time. However, Sanders thinks that the possibility of the creatures of the Nightmare Realm is still very low, because no creatures of the Nightmare Realm have participated in this matter from beginning to end. As a pioneer of the Nightmare Illusion Art, he has not felt any breath of the Nightmare Realm in the center of the fog belt.

No matter how powerful the creatures of the Nightmare Realm are, no matter how much they are Angell's confidence, it is impossible for Angell to run back to the center of the fog belt for no reason. What's more, do the creatures of the Nightmare Realm really know what is in the center of the fog belt?

As for the last possibility: the void.

Sanders had never thought about it before, but he noticed a detail around Angel.

When leaving the fog belt, Angel was clean around him, and there was no other creature except Dangros.

But now, when leaving the Ghost Dock Island, there was an extra creature beside Angel.

It was a creature called the Void Traveler, which could not be captured by the naked eye, existed only in the energy world, and had a low or even non-existent aura.

This Void creature appeared inexplicably beside Angel, which naturally gave Sanders an idea.

In particular, after Sanders said these three possibilities, Angel subconsciously glanced at the Void Traveler, which made Sanders confirm that this time Angel's confidence in returning to the center of the fog belt came from the void.

However, does Angel know any Void creatures? Sanders has never heard of it. After all, everyone has their own opportunities, and he can't know everything about Angel.

"It seems that my guess is right." Sanders: "Even if you think there will be a powerful existence to help you, do you really feel safe?"

"Relying the power of survival to the help of outsiders is not an option that an independent wizard would consider immediately."

"Moreover, are you really sure that the person who helps you is single-minded? No matter who they are, they must have selfish motives. When their selfishness and desires expand beyond control, the so-called promise is just a piece of nonsense."

"Even I may not be able to help you wholeheartedly."

Angel: "I understand."

You understand, but you still don’t listen. Sanders silently added what Angel said in his heart. As Angel's mentor, Sanders knew him very well. Angel understood the truth, but it was difficult to change the decision he had made.

Angel: "My return this time is not to interfere with the center's affairs. It's just to do a positioning job."

"Positioning? So that a certain being can know the coordinates and come down?" Sanders pointed to the void traveler next to him: "Then just let him pass."

Angel shook his head: "Not Hedlan, only I can locate it."

After a pause, Angel continued: "Furthermore, what I said before, watching the promotion process of disordered objects, was just a temporary reason, but the moment I said it, I had a hunch, There is nothing wrong with the choice to return.”

"In fact, this premonition is so strong... it seems as if I am making a choice that can change the path of my life."

"Maybe it was just my illusion, but at that moment, I really felt that way. So, I was even more determined to come."

When Angle said these words, Sanders suddenly fell silent.

Angel's words were very vague, even a little obscure and confused. But Sanders knew exactly what Angel wanted to express.

Because he also made a similar choice. He felt the same way when he was in front of an important choice that could affect his life.

This is not false empty talk, nor is it a delusional sentiment, it is real... Destiny is elusive, but there are always some beings who pursue miracles who can change destiny.

For example, Time Thief.

Sanders has been marked by a time thief, so he feels similar when he makes a fateful decision.

The time thief may even visit in person and steal the choices Sanders gave up.

This feeling is real, so Angel's strong premonition may also be true. This is a tip only for those marked by Time Thieves.

However, it seems that the time thief did not arrive this time, nor did he steal Angel's choice. Maybe he felt that this stealing was meaningless?

Now that the words have reached this point, it is naturally impossible for Sanders to stop it.

As a person marked by the time thief, after experiencing various difficult choices, he has developed a character that does not like to interfere in other people's decisions. If Angel was really important to him, Sanders wouldn't want to interfere.

But now, Angel tells him that the choice he makes may be related to his future destiny.

Sanders didn't dare stop it.

Staying or going was an innocuous choice before. But now, it has become a major decision that Time Thieves may pay attention to.

Interfering with Angel's decision at this time may even change his destiny.

Sanders was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Since you think this choice is important, then eliminate all possible interference and follow what you want."

Angel nodded solemnly.

Sanders looked at the endless black sea in front of him: "My illusion clone has reached its limit. Let's separate here. As I said on the island, I hope to see you come back alive."

After the words fell, Sanders lightly patted Angel's shoulder, then turned into foam and disappeared without a trace.

…

After Sanders left, Angel hovered in place and thought for a moment.

"Exclude all possible interference and follow your heart." This is what Sanders said before, and Angel was also thinking about it at this time.

If this choice is really so important, will he be interfered by some external factors? Is his choice really the right one?

Angel was also seeing his true nature and rethinking whether his decision had been hasty.

…

But at this time, in a certain dimension that cannot be peeked into.

There are a large number of clocks scattered here, round, square, long, flat, and even half of them are embedded in the void. At a glance, you can't tell the number at all.

Of all the clocks, the one in the center is the largest and most conspicuous.

Because, on the top of this clock, sits a tall black shadow.

This black figure looked very relaxed, listening to the sound of the beating hands around him, while humming an unknown tune in his nose.

Suddenly, among the many clocks, the hands and minute hands of a circular clock began to beat.

When the minute hand and the hour hand return to 0 o'clock at the same time, the clear and loud sound of the bell surrounds this endless space densely populated with a large number of time wheels.

Only then did the black shadow raise his head and look at the bell that resounded through time and space.

"There is a mark that touches the choice." The shadow muttered: "Let me see."

The round clock was pulled out of thin air by the black shadow and pulled in front of him.

At this time, golden light was flowing from the clock.

"Tsk tsk, the overflowing honey of time is so sweet... It seems that it is necessary to go and see it."

The black shadow jumped lightly and jumped down from the top of the clock.

At the same time, a round metal door appeared in the center of the huge clock, where the axle wheel should have been. The black shadow walked to the metal door, ready to push it open and step into the marked area.

However, the moment his hand touched the round metal door, his fingertips suddenly pricked.

He retracted his hand.

A drop of light golden blood slowly oozed out from the fingertips, and the blood flowed around the fingertips for a while, then dripped into the void... and disappeared.

The black shadow stayed there for a while, but in the end, he did not step into the metal door again, but returned to the top of the clock.

"If I go, I will have a bad premonition."

But who does this bad premonition come from?

The marked person? It seems not.

"Could it be that if I go there, I will meet an old acquaintance?" The black shadow pondered for a moment, and did not see the answer in the wheel of time.

"Forget it, I'd better not go."

He thought about it, and his eyes were again on the round clock that was still emitting golden light.

"It seems that he is a person with far-reaching influence... Well, let's add a mark."

After the voice fell, the originally gray shell of the circular clock began to glow with a moist luster.

At the same time, a faint figure appeared in the center of the clock.

If Angel was here, he would find that this figure was exactly the same as when he refined the Blood Night Shelter many years ago.

Looking at Angel's illusion quietly, the black shadow's mouth curled up slightly.

"Hey, it's you, young man."

The black shadow's voice was a little interested, as if he had found some interesting toys. He still did not set out to the metal door to the place to be selected, but carefully observed Angel's illusion.

It seemed that he wanted to imprint Angel's figure in his eyes.

After a long time, the black shadow laughed softly, wiped out the illusion in a good mood, and then pushed the circular clock aside.

But this time, the circular clock was not pushed back to the distant pile of clocks by him.

Instead, it hovered near the huge clock.

There are very few clocks here, only about a thousand. Each of these clocks of various shapes shines with dazzling brilliance and is very large, some of which are even close to the huge hour wheel where the black shadow stands.

The round clock representing Ingres looks very small and dim in the forest of these huge clocks, even a little uncoordinated and awkward.

If someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder sees this scene, he will probably be so annoyed that he can dig through the center of the earth with his toenails.

But the black shadow obviously does not have any obsessive-compulsive disorder, or rather, his obsessive-compulsive disorder is not about appearance. Not only did he not feel unhappy, he even whistled more happily.
