Blade of Time

Chapter 387 Repentance
There is a cafe by the small river east of Maple Leaf City, surrounded by flowers, with an elegant and beautiful environment.

The whole small hall is made of large floor-to-ceiling glass, so you can clearly see the outside.

After serving a glass of lemon juice to Annie, Jiang Changye stirred the wine in the glass and said, "I know it was you who did it, but I don't blame you."

Anne sneered: "Should I be grateful for this?"

Jiang Changye chuckled: "In the past two years, for some purposes, I sometimes did things unscrupulously, but when it comes to dealing with you, I have never regretted it."

He looked at Annie seriously: "At that time, you were a ghost. You were obviously my subordinate, but you still wanted to report the flood to your opponent. I can understand it, after all, the positions are different. So, I just think you don't need to hate."

"As you said, our positions are different, so I feel confident in betraying you."

"But you are a human now."

Annie's body trembled slightly.

Tears appeared in her eyes: "I don't know what I am... The information I left behind tells me that I am from the You clan, but my memory tells me that I am an alienated creature, or even... an alienated human race. You Turned me into a bastard, Jiang Changye!"

Jiang Changye looked at her seriously: "Yes, this is where I feel sorry for you. So I want to ask you, do you want to be a human tribe or a You tribe?"

"I have been alienated and cannot change unless I die. I have no right to choose!"

"I can return to the abyss and purify the source."

Annie was happy: "What is this? Atonement?"

Jiang Changye nodded: "Yes, you can understand it that way."

Annie looked at him puzzled: "What on earth are you planning?"

Jiang Changye laughed: "It's normal for you not to believe me. After all, I've lied to you too many times. But this time, I really have no conditions. If you are willing, I will take you with you after this incident is over. Go over. If you don't want to, forget it. Anyway, the way you look now, most people can't tell that you are an alienated creature."

Annie looked at him blankly: "Are you afraid of what I will tell them?"

Jiang Changye shook his head: "You've already said it, it doesn't matter anymore."

Annie drank the drink in the cup in one gulp, and then she strode out. Jiang Changye followed her unhurriedly, only covering his face.

The two of them walked all the way and came to a small house.

Annie opened the door and went in, while Jiang Changye stood there motionless.

"Come in," she said.

Jiang Changye entered the room.

Annie closed the door gently, and then she sat opposite Jiang Changye.

She said: "It's not without reason that you have such a big change. Tell me what have you experienced these days?"

Jiang Changye did not speak.

Anne sneered: "What? Is this your confession?"

Jiang Changye thought for a while and sat down opposite her.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you everything!"

He began to talk about his experiences in the past few days.

This time he didn't hide it.

He told Annie how he obtained that magical power, what he had encountered, the real secret about the source of the alienation law, and the reincarnation of time.

Annie listened quietly, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

So this man has so many secrets?It turns out that behind his tough surface, there is also an inner softness?
He tried his best to save Tokisaki Kurumi and fight for his race and family.

The most terrible thing is that Anne can understand him.

It's a very strange feeling: all your memories and emotions are human, while your diary is about ghosts.

You know that you were once a ghost, but you have lost that memory, so everything is just like looking at historical records, so far away from yourself.

She tried hard to remind herself that she wanted revenge, just because of that responsibility and that mission, which had nothing to do with her current character and emotions.

It's like you wake up with a complete memory of your life, but suddenly see it written in your diary that you have another life and an enemy, and you have to keep it.

What would you think?
You have no direct memory or hatred for this enemy. In most cases, you will not be willing to take revenge.

So it was not easy for Anne to do it, but that was why she did not take more extreme actions.

She knew she should hate Jiang Changye, but she couldn't.

She took revenge, but it was simple and sloppy.

All because her mission is completely at odds with her personal emotions.So that when she listened to Jiang Changye's explanation, she could even understand Jiang Changye more than she could understand the Xing Laer in the past.

At that moment, Annie's eyes turned slightly red.

She said: "So, you experienced betrayal, and you discovered your own problem in Shi Weiying? Then you felt the need to be gentle?"

Jiang Changye shook his head: "No, I just apologize for my past cruelty, but it doesn't mean that I will change. I have faced countless dangers, and now this danger has even affected the entire human civilization... I must be more cruel, Take all this more seriously. After today, in the next reincarnation, you will forget everything. So what I need now is just an answer. You tell me the answer. If I can still get out of this day alive, I will help you realize it. I I don’t have any other needs, I just hope that when I sacrifice everything for the future, I can at least satisfy my own conscience... My conscience is limited, but that’s why I can’t throw it away easily.”

Anne was silent.

Jiang Changye looked at her face, it was a beautiful and charming face.

There were still tears on her face, and her heart was filled with excitement.

She said: "King Kong has returned to the abyss."

Ok?
Jiang Changye was puzzled.

Annie said: "But I can summon it at any time, even now! This is the power given to me by the law. If you purify the Abyss, it will die. I can't let it die! It is my most trustworthy... …It’s everything to me.”

Jiang Changye nodded slightly: "I understand. So you have decided?"

"Yes." Anne replied: "I can stop hating you. In fact, I never hated you before... I just did what the notes asked... but you have to promise me one thing."

"what?"

"When this is over, tell me the truth."

Jiang Changye thought for a moment and said, "Why do you want to believe me?"

"Because I feel that at least this time you are sincere."

Jiang Changye said: "Yes, you feel that I am sincere. Real sincerity is the premise that you don't know what the consequences will be. If I come to you next time and I know the answer, there will be no sincerity... You're not going to believe me. And if you don't believe my sincerity, then everything I say will be a noose around me."

Annie stood up suddenly: "It's very simple."

what?
Jiang Changye was stunned. Annie had already pulled him to her side.

Then she kissed it.

Jiang Changye was completely stunned by this kiss.

Annie said softly: "You know everything about me. No matter what you say, I won't believe it. But at least, you don't know how I behave in bed..."

"Uh... isn't it?"

Annie looked at him and said, "As you said, everything will start over again tomorrow, right? None of this has ever happened."

As she spoke, she slowly took off her clothes.

At that moment,

On this day, Jiang Changye spent the night in Annie's arms and passion.

Didn't know he was here,

Until it's daylight.

The time was already 59:[-] the next morning.

There is still 1 minute left before restarting.

Holding the beauty in his arms, Jiang Changye looked at the ceiling.

He wanted to see what it would be like when time restarted, and wanted to feel it all.

The angel's second hand ticked, 59...58...

Jiang Changye counted silently. When the second hand pointed to that moment, the clock suddenly sounded in his ears.

Time is frozen at this moment, and everything is stagnant.

The air no longer moves and the birds no longer fly.

Anne's hand, which was originally caressing him gently, came to rest on his chest, and then drifted away, turning into dust and smoke.

Everything is dissipating, including Jiang Changye's body, and only the remaining consciousness passes through the long river of time and space.

He saw everything being reorganized, along the lines of what was already established.

That is the law of time, sorting out everything and starting over from scratch.

That is incomprehensible, god-like power...
