Tang Ming was clearly not someone they could trust. Not only that, he coveted other people's time-based items. If Xu Huo and the others lost all their memories tomorrow and couldn't remember him, while he could set up an ambush in advance, wouldn't they be easy targets?
Shen Liang and the others were even more troubled. There was no guarantee they would run into Xu Huo and his group tomorrow.
"Looks like the initiative is back in my hands." Tang Ming looked at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo smiled faintly. "I'll ask you the same thing: are you really in control?"
Without waiting for him to reply, Xu Huo turned to Wang Ling and the others. "Since things have come to this, let's each go try our luck."
He headed for 23rd Street. The others instinctively followed. It wasn't that they thought Xu Huo meant to abandon them; they simply had no idea what to do. At least sticking with someone reliable was better than staying with someone like Tang Ming.
Xu Huo didn't mind having people follow him. He hadn't been lying. Even if he figured out why Dr. Wu had set up Pumpkin City, he wouldn't gain Time Power just from a few words. Besides, Curved Time was entirely different from the events and rules currently found in the game.
But there was no doubt that Pumpkin City was a site containing Time Power. He had already begun his Temporal Evolution and wanted to see if he could gain anything else here.
Every time he crossed a street, he felt that subtle electric tingle again. Even now, however, he still couldn't connect it to Time Power. In his perception, the Time Rays in Pumpkin City showed no obvious differences. They still looked like layers upon layers of overlapping nets...
