CHAPTER 564: CHAPTER 562: TIME REWIND

Lin Yan shook her head and said, "What are you talking about?! I took the cognitive test after the mission; He didn’t lay a finger on me!"

The man looked at Lin Yan with a skeptical face and then asked, "Did you have any contact with Him when you were in Yin Country?!"

Suddenly, the scene around her changed, and Lin Yan found herself back in the days when she was still at Yin Country Medical College.

She realized that this memory detection wouldn’t end easily, and as time stretched on, her brain would suffer irreversible damage.

She grew more and more desperate, not wanting to become an idiot due to such useless questioning, so she began to struggle fiercely, charging towards the man with all her might and pushing hard.

A moment later, Lin Yan returned to reality. She was drenched in sweat, and the man also let go, stepping back a few paces with his cheeks covered in fine sweat, as reading the memory was a significant mental strain for both parties.

Lin Yan yelled, "If my brain gets damaged because of this, it will be the foundation’s biggest loss! Don’t forget, I am the only person within the foundation who has seen the White King!"

The man was somewhat angry, touching his earpiece as if he were receiving orders.

Lin Yan continued, "I want to see the Supreme Council!"

The man ignored her, just nodding his head, and then reached his hands towards her temples again.

At that moment, the man suddenly stopped, and everything in the room came to a halt; Lin Yan looked at the screen’s wave chart, where the green line had stopped halfway and wasn’t moving forward.

What’s going on? Did time stop?

Lin Yan heard a strange, muffled voice, as if coming from a person neither male nor female, speaking indistinctly.

"...help me."

Lin Yan could make out a bit more and said to the ceiling, "Who?!"

"Help me... I’m bleeding."

The speaker sounded as if they were lamenting, filled with sorrow and pain, and somewhat like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Who are you? Are you from the Superpower Special Force?" Lin Yan asked.

A Superpower user?

No, that couldn’t be right; there wasn’t yet a Superpower user capable of stopping time in this world!

Could it be...

Suddenly, the space around her collapsed, and she was sucked backward with such force that she almost passed out. When she finally came to a stop, Lin Yan found herself in the cabin of an airplane.

She was sitting on a plane, the sky through the window a deep blue, a flight attendant walked past her, and the man in a suit in the next seat was reading a book.

However, everything was frozen.

"Help me... come find me."

Lin Yan was startled, and in the next second, time started moving again; the surrounding noise rushed into her ears as she took a deep breath, like she had just surfaced from the depths of the ocean.

Her exaggerated movements drew the attention of the man next to her; Lin Yan quickly apologized and then tentatively reached for her phone.

She found her phone, lit up the screen, and time had reverted to the afternoon she had started her journey back to Fileros.

After the flight landed at the airport, she followed the crowd out of the terminal, stepping back into the sunlight.

"Really... this is so strange..." Lin Yan stood at the street corner with her luggage, as if everything had been just a dream.

But the voice in her head reminded her that time had regressed.

"Come find me." The voice echoed in her brain.

Lin Yan walked under the shade of the trees and whispered, "Where are you? How can I find you?"

She hadn’t expected a response, but the other party actually answered, "Big, big, black, black, in the hole."

In the hole...

"Can you be more specific? That’s too vague," Lin Yan said.

"Black, black... come quickly..." the voice said.

Lin Yan could tell that its voice was getting weaker and weaker, which made her increasingly anxious.

Big, big... black, black...

A thought flashed through Lin Yan’s mind; the Foundation’s building was attacked, wasn’t it?! The whole structure had collapsed, leaving a gaping hole in its place! Wouldn’t that be a big, big, black, black hole?

Although it was just a guess, Lin Yan had no other leads, and she couldn’t go back home. If everything went back to normal, she would surely be taken away again after returning home.

Moreover, the timing of those three men’s appearance was too coincidental. Perhaps she had been followed since leaving the airport.

Lin Yan became paranoid, continually using storefront windows to watch her surroundings and her phone to check behind her as she ran towards the Foundation’s experimental building.

The area was cordoned off, sealed with police tape, and the entire street was closed. Several patrol officers were on duty.

As soon as Lin Yan turned onto the street, she attracted the attention of a few patrol officers. They watched her from a distance and, although they wore sunglasses, she could guess that their gaze behind them was anything but friendly.

Lin Yan continued forward, and the patrol officers started walking towards her. Pretending not to notice, she persisted for a few steps, but as soon as a patrol officer reached out towards her, she took off running.

As she ran, the patrol officers ran after her; seven or eight of them converged on her from the street. But after only a few steps, they were suddenly enveloped by a blue luminescence and then frozen in place.

Lin Yan guessed that the thing she had been speaking to had helped her, so she took the opportunity to slip past the blockade, squeeze through the police tape, and arrive at the edge of the giant pit.

The building was gone, and on the ground, there was only a black hole. Peering over the edge, she could see a section of the exposed underground train track below.

As she was pondering how to get down, the broken stones at her feet suddenly levitated, forming a little stairway of rocks.

Would it hold?

After a moment’s thought, Lin Yan decided to remove her high heels and stepped barefoot onto the stones.

Then, the stone staircase slowly descended, ensuring her safe arrival on the lowest track level.

Looking up, the mouth of the big hole was only the size of a fist, surrounded by darkness, with only a circle of light where she stood.

"Come quickly... help me..."

The voice urged her on.

Now at this spot, Lin Yan hesitated.

She now realized that the speaker was surely the White King...

That was a Heavenly Falling Object. She had rashly sought it out, who knows what it might do to her?

Lin Yan had backed herself into a corner.

But then again... That was a Heavenly Falling Object! How many chances does one get to contact a living Heavenly Falling Object?

This opportunity didn’t come every day. Besides, the other party could speak human language.

After much deliberation, Lin Yan resolutely took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked into the dark tunnel.

Following the voice’s guidance, she arrived at the abandoned platform of the tunnel. Her phone’s flashlight illuminated the ground, revealing a large pool of light pink viscous fluid spreading out like melted ice cream.

She shone the light upwards, and there was the White King’s enormous face before her, its seven eyes dull and lifeless. Only half its body remained, lying on the ground like a child.
