The high|tide always comes fast.

Half an hour ago, the three Tang Mo men arrived at the gas station. Fu Wenduo got out of the car to look for gasoline, while Tang Mo decided to check out the bungalow across the road: they needed new supplies. Once they officially enter Beijing, the amount of food they can find will only decrease. The trio's current needs for food and water are minimal, but not non-existent. Tang Mo will prepare everything in advance to avoid accidents.

"The ability to go back in time is definitely there, and they must have gone back in time. Because at the back of that newsstand there was a burnt bookshelf. The bookshelf was burnt to a crisp, but on that bookshelf ......" Tang Mo paused, and said, "There was an intact magazine book."

The three walked across the street, and soon found the charred bookshelf.

From the position of the bungalow where the four stowaways had just ambushed, it was true that the bookshelf hidden behind the newsstand could not be seen. But if you go around the newsstand, you can see it. The bookshelf was all charred, almost just a steel shelf. But there was a yellowed magazine on it, with no trace of scorching.

It's a bizarre situation, but of course it can't be ruled out that someone was so bored that they burned down the bookshelf and then inexplicably put a magazine on top of it.

But that's enough.

What would you think of suddenly seeing a charred bookshelf with an intact book on it in an empty, deserted place like this ......?

Tang Mo didn't know what Fu Wenduo and Fu Wen Sheng would think, but he would think that this was a deliberate attempt to leave a hint.

As in many detective novels, the main character goes somewhere, and sees something very unusual. There must be a demon when things go wrong, and he couldn't guess for a moment who had left this clue and what it was trying to say. But one possibility occurred to him, "This book might not have been put there after the bookshelf burned down."

Fu Wen voice froze, "What?"

This bookshelf had been burned to the bone and would fall off at the slightest touch. The magazines on the bookshelf do not have a trace of burning, it is obvious that it was put up later. Not after the bookshelf was burned was put on it, could ...... it still be before the bookshelf was burned, it was on it?

Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows when he heard Tang Mo's words and looked at him with a deep gaze. Before, Tang Mo didn't take a close look at the bookshelf because he had to hurry to solve the four stowaways. He walked forward and squatted on the ground, taking down the magazine on the bookshelf. Because of his movement, the bookshelf quickly collapsed.

Tang Mo looked at the title and the date on the magazine, he turned around and waved the magazine, "This magazine is quite famous, it's sold all over the country. The date on it is November 18th."

Fu Wen Sound immediately thought, "The day the Black Tower officially started the game?"

Tang Mo nods, "Yes. This kind of bookshelf holds usually the more popular magazine books. The owner puts the good sellers on a small bookshelf and takes them outside the newsstand so that they can be seen more easily by people passing by. This magazine has probably been on the shelf for a long time, maybe five months before today, and it's been on this shelf ever since."

While Fu Wen still didn't understand what was going on, Tang Mo had already figured it all out.

Earlier, he suspected that someone was ambushed nearby because the bookshelf was too weird. He hadn't been sure from start to finish if there was really an ambush and where it was. But he became suspicious. After entering the newsstand, he used Huo Ji's egg to communicate with Fu Wenduo, telling him about the strange phenomenon he had seen, and the two of them made a very quick decision: one of them searched the bungalow, and the other searched the restaurant on the other side of the intersection, because these were the best places to hide. The two men make a quick decision: one will search the bungalow and the other will search the restaurant at the other end of the intersection, as these are the best places to hide.

Maybe there was no ambush, or maybe the strange bookshelf was just a prank by one of the players, but Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo won't leave anything to chance.

Fu Wenduo didn't know about this, but Fu Wen sounded clear about it. Tang Mo said, "Little Voice, you should know what burned down this bookshelf."

Fu Wen voice froze, "I know?"

"Yeah, you know."

The little boy looked down and pondered for a moment, and suddenly he exclaimed, "...... that big match of yours?!"

Yes, it's the big matches of the mosaic.

Two months earlier, in the jeweled corridors of Queen Hong Tao, Tang Mo had lit Bai Ruoyao's arm on fire with a large match and told him mercilessly: if you don't cut off your arm, you will be burned alive by this fire.

[Props: mosaic of large matches]

[Owner: Tang Mo]

......

[Function: An unquenchable flame. You can light a match at will, once the flame of the match ignites an object, the law of cause and effect works, and the flame can only be extinguished when the object is burned cleanly; harder than you can imagine].

This bookshelf was destroyed by a large match.

Only objects that are set on fire by a large match must be burned because of the law of causality at work.

"At some point back in time, I must have noticed this wheel of time, but didn't know how to alert myself to the fact that I was being ambushed. So set this bookshelf on fire with a large match and took one of the books on it." Tang Mo placed the magazine on the charred remains of the bookshelf, "Because this magazine was taken away, it was not ignited by the flame of the large match. After time traveled back, it was back on the bookshelf again. But the bookshelf had been burned."

Fu Wen Sheng looked at the bookshelf and magazines on the floor, "That's why the charred bookshelf had an intact magazine on it."

After determining what happened, the trio returned to the gas station to dispose of the bodies of the four stowaways.

Tang Mo reaches out and pulls his book of powers out of the air. He flipped it open to the penultimate page and looked at the words on it.

"The high tide always comes fast.

[Owner: Zhao Kewei (stowaway)]

[Type: Atomic]

[Function: Retraces the physical state of all substances within a certain area, which can return the state of all substances to one minute ago.]

[Level: III]

[Limitations: 0 room for physical enhancement. 60 seconds of physical change must be experienced from the time the ability is used before the ability can be used to retrace its steps. When using this ability, all living objects located in the area being used will feel a strong physical need. It can be used up to seven times per day, and backtracking the physical state consumes the user's corresponding cellular life; reverting to multiple living objects consumes multiples of cellular life].

[Remarks: The high tide always comes quickly, so savor it again and again.

[ Tang Mo Edition Usage Note: Used up to once per day, consumes double cellular life. There is a 5% chance of not being able to return to the physical state of the lifeform. For Tang Mo, a one-minute high|boom ...... Wait, Tang Mo's high|boom can be one minute? Earned it!]

...... It turns out that the strange coughing impulse he felt when he crossed the street was due to this psychic ability?

Tang Mo, who had long since gotten used to the trolling of the Altered Powers book, had his eyelids fluttering as his gaze lingered on the functions and limitations of this Altered Power.

So it's not directly back in time, but back in the physical state of all matter for a minute?

Tang Mo thought to himself, "That would be a better explanation for why the bookshelf wasn't restored and that magazine and everything else was backdated."

It is not time that is being restored, but the physical state of matter. So the magazine that was taken aside is back on the shelf, but the shelf cannot be restored because of the law of causality at work.

"Got the guy's powers?"

Tang Mo nodded his head, he subconsciously wanted to directly hand the book of supernatural powers to Fu Wenduo to read, but only just reached out his hand, he instantly shrunk back. Tang Mo coughed and threw the shameless book back into the air. He explained, "Not in the objective sense of backtracking time, his supernormal ability ......" After a pause, Tang Mo organized his words, "His supernormal ability is to backtrack the physical state of all matter within a certain area, with a reply time of one minute. The recovery time is one minute."

Take the rain in the sky, for example. A minute ago this drop of rain was a mixture of condensation nuclei and water vapor, it fell slowly from the clouds, and at the 59th second it snapped to the ground and blended into a puddle. However using this psychic ability, everything reverses. The physical state of the drop of rain returned to a mixture of condensation nuclei and water vapor, and at the same time its physical location was restored, back to the dark clouds.

Tang Mo, who had never been very good at science, carefully recalled the instructions in the book of powers, and eventually came to a rough conclusion, "All in all, this can indeed be considered a power to go back in time, but it can't go back in time of something that has been subjected to the law of causality. For example, the bookshelf that was burned by a large match."

Fu Wenduo: "Is there a limit?"

Tang Mo : "There are quite a lot of restrictions, for example, I can only use it once a day and it consumes life."

Fu Wenduo frowned, "Consuming life?"

Tang Mo explained briefly. This kind of psychic ability that would drain the user's life he also possessed one - a very fast man. Tang Mo had tried not to use this psychic ability as much as possible ever since he possessed it. Because such an extraordinary ability is too powerful. Once used more than once, it creates a psychological dependence, and he can't help but use it constantly.

Such powers were too powerful, and in the face of such extreme temptation, Tang Mo couldn't guarantee that he would be able to hold back from using them.

"This kind of psychic ability is like a poison|goods." Tang Mo lamented, "But I reckon that the players who use these powers probably don't even know about their side effects. Just like how both you and Whisper only know how to use the powers, without knowing the explicit powers' functions and limitations."

Fu Wenduo : "Until now, I still don't know what my powers are."

Tang Mo froze, and he turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo stood by the window, his head slightly bowed, the corner of his mouth hooked up, looking at Tang Mo.

Since they left Nanjing and traveled to Beijing, Tang Mo first checked Fu Wenduo's psychic ability. The Private Money ability has a cooling-off time of three days, during which Tang Mo could no longer check Fu Wenduo's ability. However, after that, he tried to touch Fu Wenduo's hand while he was driving. They touched each other for six hours, but Tang Mo finally gave up and never mentioned it again.

"If it's so difficult to acquire one's powers, how did that woman manage to get yours in such a short period of time?"

Tang Mo was shocked and looked up at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo's pitch-black eyes gazed tightly at Tang Mo. Tang Mo vaguely felt that the other party might have guessed something, and with Fu Wenduo's powerful ability of association, it might even be possible for him to guess the truth. However, Tang Mo's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, ''All the supernormal abilities that I have copied will be weakened. That's her supernatural ability, and it's naturally easier for her to use it than me."

"That's right." Fu Wenduo 意味 意味 "oh" sound, "just now in that person use back to the time of a minute I seem to feel that ...... there is something wrong, well, some parts of the wrong. Tang Mo, did you feel it?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Fu Wen said in a loud voice, "Eh yes, brother, I also feel my body is hot, it's so strange. Do you feel it too?"

Fu Wenduo faintly said, "You are only twelve years old."

Fu Wen voice: "Huh? What does that have to do with me being twelve?"

You're only twelve, you're probably not old enough to be able to generate pleasure|sense.

Tang Mo silently added Fu Wenduo's words in his mind, then, "......"

...... Damn, is this man a dog! How come he can sniff out anything that's bad!

Tang Mo quickly changes the subject, "Examine their bodies, you might find some useful clues."

Fu Wen was about to ask himself again what happened to being twelve years old, when Fu Wenduo turned his head to look at Tang Mo when he heard this. He gave a low laugh and said nothing more.

As long as Tang Mo doesn't admit it, Fu Wenduo's guesses are just guesses.

Tang Mo does not understand how Fu Wenduo this straight man has so many strange and strange guesses, but also always interested in his little bitchy book, but every time ...... also can guess some very unfriendly to the straight man content. Thinking of the countless spits on himself in that bitchy alien book, Tang Mo secretly decided that he could not let anyone see the contents of the book in this life, in this life!

Tang Mo doesn't think it's a coincidence that four unfamiliar players came out of nowhere to sneak up on him.

"These people's strength isn't low, they aren't ordinary players, and almost all of them have psychic abilities. Seventy percent possibility, they have long been ambushed and deliberately waited for us here, it's even possible that they have been tracking us for a long time, it's just that they are very powerful and none of us have realized it. There's also a thirty percent chance that they were really just passing through to rob us." After a pause, Tang Mo said, "Fu Wenduo and I will examine these three corpses, Whisper, why don't you go take a look at that man's corpse."

Fu Wen nodded.

The three split up.

Tang Mo examines the body of the man with the ability to go back in time.

On the cold concrete floor, this middle-aged man's eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling in death. After the Earth came online Tang Mo has seen many corpses, and he has seen a lot of even more horrifying deaths, he expressionlessly closed the eyes of this corpse and began to search for something on the other side.

Killing this person was actually an accident, but it was also inevitable. Without killing this person, the other party could continue to revert back to their powers and everything would start all over again.

Those four players were smart, when Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo attacked, they understood: their ability to rewind time must have been discovered. If you can rewind time, it's either a prop or an ability. They made a straightforward decision, letting three of them delay Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, and letting the other companion escape.
