e rules of the ruins of time.

“Here, take it.
This is your handwritten diary.
Give it a read!”

As long as he completed the assigned task, everything would be restored back to its original state.
Hence, Su Mo was not worried that Maeda would destroy any secrets that were still hidden in the diary.

Picking up the diary, Maeda did not know how to react.
However, when he flipped open the first page and saw the familiar font, he immediately had a trace of caution on his face.
Then when he started reading the second page, his cautious expression turned horrid.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead onto onto the paper.

The first day…

The second day…

The pages of the diary were quickly flipped through one by one by Kento Maeda.
Seeing something that seemed to be his own personal notes, the word “impossible” repeatedly came out of his mouth.

Clang!

Turning to the page about the ninth day, he finally saw Su Mo’s name written in the diary.
Maeda seemed to realize something and suddenly raised his head.

“I, you, I killed you, no…”

“You killed me?”

“You killed yourself!” Seeing that Kento Maeda had begun to lose his mind, Su Mo shook his head and said regretfully.

“To be honest, although I killed you once, I am still curious.
Can you tell me if the person in the diary is really you, and why you had the confidence to try and kill me?”

Seeing Su Mo’s arrogant words, his indifferent expression, and his terrifying set of armor, Kento Maeda did not hesitate and immediately tried to…

Escape!

He ran.
He ran crazily and desperately!

Maeda’s running speed was very fast, covering a distance of one hundred meters within just 14.5 seconds.
On the wasteland terrain, this could be regarded as an almost superhuman performance.

The rolling yellow sand was kicked up by his frantic steps.
The horror of facing this life and death situation drained all the potential stored in Maeda’s muscles.

However, looking at the figure rapidly running away from him, Su Mo shook his head regretfully.
He turned around and got back on the motorcycle.

“It seems that the ruins of time are a self-contained ecosystem, and everyone will not doubt the authenticity of the world in which they live.”

“But who would be able to tell the truth between reality and an illusion?”

Twisting the accelerator, he hung behind Kento Maeda all the way.
The distance between the two was maintained at about 300 meters.

Seeing Maeda’s pace gradually decrease, Su Mo also lowered his own speed and slid forward.

“Let…Let… me go, I, I’ll be your slave… I’ll work like a horse for you…”

Maeda was out of breath after all that running.
Watching Su Mo approach was like observing a cat catching a mouse.
Maeda Kento yelled as he collapsed on the ground in despair.

Kento Maeda’s appearance right now did not reflect the strategizing, careful, and shrewd villain written in the diary.

“Too bad.
Be a good person in your next life!”

After repeated experimentation, he discovered that Maeda really could not figure out that this world was an illusion.
Su Mo smiled faintly and took out his rifle.

Bang!

A bullet was discharged, and blood spurted out.

After killing the villain who almost plunged the Underground Shelter into a crisis, Su Mo’s heart suddenly felt refreshed.
His soul seemed to be nourished, and all the regrets he had about this before were erased.

“Time… is such a good thing to have.”

“As long as you have time on your side, you can fix the regret by going back to the past.
It’s said that there is no medicine for regret but, with the power of time, you can turn any regret into a satisfying ending!”

“Unfortunately, what happens in the ruins of time can’t affect the outside world.
I guess this could be considered as a time duplication for my own rejuvenation and peace of mind!”

Su Mo took out the two units of time currency from the storage space.
Pinching them in his hands, and looking at the corpse of Kento Maeda on the ground, Su Mo seemed to touch an invisible boundary.

If this boundary was broken through, humans might be able to get their hands on even more advanced technology, entering a new technological era.

If it could not be broken, then the existing technology could only be maintained and developed slowly.

“Each disaster is a hurdle.
After crossing this hurdle, a disaster can be transformed into a priceless opportunity in the hands of the strong!”

Two shots were fired again to make sure that Maeda was really dead.
After that, Su Mo left.

After coming to the ruins of time, it seemed that Su Mo would be able to fix all the regrets he left behind in the main world.
As long as he completed the task, he could exit the ruins and return to the main world.

“There are still four days before the disaster strikes.
Where should I go during this time?”

The strong wind blew through his hair.
Watching the darkening sky, Su Mo did not feel the same tension he had when he first arrived at the wasteland.

The darkness is not a terrifying thing.
Instead, the scariest thing is not having enough strength.

“I don’t know if Zhong Qingshu…”

“Oh right, I can go visit Zhong Qingshu to play!”

Thinking of Zhong Qingshu who was still waiting outside, Su Mo face had a funny expression.
After identifying the direction the Candlelight Shelter was in, he rode toward it.

The Candlelight Shelter only comprised the small team of four prison guards on the first day; the others had yet to join for the time being.

However, from the casual chats he had had with Zhong Qingshu, Su Mo knew the location of Zhong Qingshu’s spawn point.

That location was the flattest place in the entire plains, and the four prison guards later moved there together with the rest of the team.

He had traveled along this road many times in the main world.
Although there were no longer any tire markings on the road, Su Mo could find his way by using the setting sun to navigate his surroundings.

Gradually, when the sun had set and the motorcycle’s headlights illuminated the distance, Su Mo finally saw the outline of a warm cabin not far away.

Under the light of the torch, a woman cautiously exposed half of her face, quietly looking at the approaching Su Mo.

With his good eyesight, Su Mo could immediately identify the woman’s face clearly from a single glance…

It was Zhong Qingshu!
