Chapter 324 Retrospection

"Are you kidding me..."

Chen Yu's expression hardened, and the next second, the Little Boy appeared behind him again!

A tiny fist, carrying exaggerated power!

"Hum!!"

Chen Yu sidestepped, dodging the punch!

Then he kicked off the ground, sweeping the ghost head blade from bottom to top, aiming straight for the Little Boy's neck!

The Little Boy stood in place, tilting his head slightly as the blade grazed his ear. Chen Yu's second strike followed immediately, a horizontal slash aiming for the waist, but it only cut through thin air!

"Over here!!!"

With quick Agility, Chen Yu seamlessly followed up, the tip of the blade slicing open the Little Boy's abdomen.

But his body flipped in mid-air, and by the time he landed, the wound had already healed.

"?"

Chen Yu's expression hardened: "Are you kidding me? It's one thing to have such strong spatial abilities, but self-healing too? Is this level even meant for humans to clear?!"

Chen Yu turned his head and stepped onto the iron scaffolding of the high platform, deliberately exposing a flaw.

But his full attention was on what was behind him.

The Little Boy indeed fell for it, teleporting behind Chen Yu and smashing a fist toward the back of his head.

"Hum—"

Chen Yu was prepared; he had been waiting for this!

He immediately tilted his head to avoid it and grabbed the Little Boy's wrist with his backhand!

A black hairband shot out from his sleeve, instantly wrapping around the Little Boy's neck!

The Little Boy's pupils contracted sharply; he wanted to teleport, but the hairband had already choked him!

At this moment, Chen Yu finally realized—

It wasn't teleportation, just incredible speed?

Because... if it were spatial teleportation, he shouldn't have been restrained by his hairband! This also perfectly explained why he couldn't teleport in mid-air...

Chen Yu gave a violent tug, and the two fell from the high altitude once again. With the wind whistling, Chen Yu flipped in mid-air, pinned the Little Boy underneath him, held the ghost head blade in a reverse grip, and aimed the tip at his chest!

"Splurt!!!"

"Boom!"

The floor shattered, and dust billowed!

Chen Yu didn't stop; he slashed at the Little Boy's body several more times, each strike biting into the bone, sending flesh flying!

He stood up, panting heavily, leaving only a pile of fragments on the ground...

"This time it should..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the flesh on the ground disappeared, and the Little Boy reappeared on top of the iron scaffolding.

He was completely unharmed, his pitch-black pupils watching him quietly.

"..."

"Screw this."

Chen Yu cursed under his breath. He had killed the boss twice, but what was the result? Respawned on the spot?

Who knew how many more times he could respawn?

Chen Yu stepped back a few paces, a hypothesis forming in his mind regarding the Little Boy's ability...

He had been wrong from the very beginning.

It wasn't teleportation, indeed, but it wasn't just pure speed either, because neither of those abilities could bring a dead person back to life, nor could they reassemble a body that had been shattered into scraps.

And what could do that...

Was time!!!

He could regress his own state. No matter how severe the injury or how many times he died, he could return to his perfect state from a few seconds ago!

The Little Boy's voice came from behind: "Where are my friends? Where did you hide them?!"

Chen Yu shifted away instantly, not intending to engage in a head-on clash for the time being because this guy was pure cheating; even if Chen Yu exhausted all his effort to kill him, he would just respawn on the spot!

Surprisingly...

Once Chen Yu left the theater and retreated to the backstage area, the cold sense of oppression behind him instantly vanished.

He stopped and looked back. The theater was still the same theater, nothing had changed, but the Little Boy's aura and that gaze that felt like needles on his back had all been cut off.

It was like... like an NPC monster in a game; once you left its aggro range, it would reset in place and wouldn't chase after you.

"How ridiculous."

Chen Yu shook his head and walked deeper into the backstage corridor.

The corridor was dimly lit. Ahead was Wang Mengmeng, crouching at the base of the wall with her hands hugging her knees, her eyes red.

The moment she saw Chen Yu, she sprang up.

"Brother Yu!"

She rushed over and slammed into Chen Yu's arms.

Yang Kexin and Zuo Shi also crowded over: "Chen Yu, are you okay? How is it outside?"

Chen Yu pushed Wang Mengmeng away and said seriously: "I killed that guy twice."

"Ah? Twice?"

Flyer clutched his chest, staggering over.

The three women were slightly stunned: "How can you kill someone twice?"

Chen Yu said helplessly: "I killed him twice, but even now, that guy is still outside..."

"What exactly is going on?"

Zuo Shi also asked.

Chen Yu patiently explained: "That guy has the ability of time regression. Even if you slaughter him, he will quickly regress to a moment before his death..."

"Ah?!!"

Everyone was stunned; it was their first time hearing of such a bizarre ability.

Wang Mengmeng suddenly thought of something: "Brother Yu, I... can I help?!"

Her ability could dispel all time-related abnormal statuses within a 1-meter radius of herself.

But Chen Yu shook his head: "Your ability range is too small. Getting within one meter of that guy? That's enough for you to die a hundred times over. Flyer should know that all too well."

Flyer waved his hand, saying weakly: "I just blinked, and he appeared behind me..."

"Just from being hit by one punch, I almost died on the spot. Never mind a one-meter range, I feel like as soon as I leave this corridor, I'll be dead instantly!"

"..."

Wang Mengmeng's expression hardened, and she immediately quieted down.

"Alright,"

She muttered, then realized Chen Yu was staring straight at her.

"?"

Her face flushed red.

(＃＞///＜)

Wang Mengmeng coughed: "Brother Yu... you... what are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "How about this, all of you turn around first."

Although Flyer didn't know why, he was the first to obediently turn around.

The three women's expressions changed drastically: "No! Absolutely not!"

Flyer: "?"

Although he was very curious, he didn't dare turn around.

Chen Yu said seriously: "This is the only way for us to clear the level. Turn around!"

Wang Mengmeng, Yang Kexin, and Zuo Shi didn't move!

Chen Yu seemed somewhat angry: "Do you want me to go out and get killed by that guy before you'll listen?!"

The three women shook their heads repeatedly: "No... no... we just don't want you to..."

"Before you got on the ride, you should have known my rules."

Chen Yu stared at the three women and said seriously: "Whatever I tell you to do, you do."

The three women looked at each other, "Oh."

In the end, they turned around.

Chen Yu took a deep breath. This was the third time; repeating the same trick, he was familiar with the process.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"I request the favor of the God of Future. For the last time... I exchange my lifespan for the future!"
