Candles, Candles, Tell Me-Am I the Protagonist?

"According to the manual, the other point in the circle formed by the ritual was in the past day." Lin Fan kept thinking about what he had done in the past day.

"Going to work, eating, working overtime, getting off work, finding a candle..." Lin Fan opened his eyes. Yesterday, he worked overtime until 11 p. m. Because he missed the last bus, he had to walk home. For a period of time, there were few pedestrians, and very few people noticed him. During that time, he was probably able to steal more time.

"I could even figure out what this candle is..." Lin Fan remembered that when he found the candle, there was no one else around. If he had broken free from the shackles of the past at that time, perhaps he could have kept himself away from the candle.

Although the candle is very powerful now, it also represents great trouble. After all, all three candles are wanted by the Great Yue Dynasty. Since he has already come into contact with extraordinary powers, abandoning the candle is the best choice if there is no need to.

"It's really uncomfortable..." Lin Fan thought to himself. Now he was in the body of the past again, bound by time, or more accurately, bound by the past. The past had already been determined, and only some parts of the past that were not truly confirmed and were vague could be changed. Through this change, time would be disturbed, and the past time could be stolen.

This act of theft can only be carried out under the cover of the Time-Space Circle; otherwise, it will be detected by the Hound of Tindalos, the protective mechanism of time, and subjected to an eternal pursuit.

In reality, without the protection of the Time-Space Circle, this act would have been impossible, because their past was being watched by something unimaginable to mortals. The Time-Space Circle protected their past, which allowed them to steal time from the past.

Of course, this act of theft is like a criminal record, recorded little by little in the Time-Space Circle. If this person is no longer protected by the Time-Space Circle, then his act of stealing time will be discovered, and he will be bitten to death by the Hound of Tindalos, returning to the embrace of time.

However, this point was not recorded, and most members of the Ring of Time and Space were unaware of it. Only a few deacons vaguely sensed it, and these deacons were fanatical believers in the Time-Space Circle. They had no choice but to believe it; they were already on the wrong path.

"It's mealtime now..." Lin Fan was bound by the past and could not move. He could only watch himself eat bit by bit. This way of jumping out of physical movement and freeing his thinking ability to observe and perceive everything was very rewarding for Lin Fan.

For example, if someone nearby dislikes you, you might not have noticed before because you were focused on your own affairs. But now that you're observing and reflecting on their affairs, you've naturally discovered things you previously overlooked.

"I was wondering why that person was always giving me trouble." Lin Fan recalled that when that person handed over work to him, there were always some things that Lin Fan needed to finish up. He had previously thought it was a problem with that person's ability, but he never expected that he was doing it on purpose.

"I remember after I finished eating, I went up to the rooftop and smoked for a while..." Lin Fan's memory was correct. In the past, after finishing his meal, he went up to the rooftop. In the empty room, he originally planned to spend some time there, but he did not expect that the constraints of the past would not be reduced here.

"Is someone still watching me here...? Wait, it might not be a person." Lin Fan thought of the Heavenly Eye System of the Great Yue Dynasty, which meant that even in an open space, such as a rooftop, he could be observed.

"What a pity..." Lin Fan's past self smoked for a while, then got off the elevator. Looking at the empty elevator, he originally thought that the elevator was monitored and that it would be impossible to Extraction the item, but he did not expect that this time the Extraction would be much less difficult.

"Control yourself, interfere with the past with the future, and cause a tremor in spacetime..." Lin Fan kept trying to interfere with his past self's body, making his past self do things differently than before, in order to Extraction the power of time.

However, an elevator is still an elevator. The elevator doors opened again, and Lin Fan's Extraction was interrupted once more. He was thus expelled from this past and woke up in the rented apartment again.

I walked into the bathroom with a groggy head, looked at myself in the mirror, and saw huge bags under my eyes, thick dark circles that looked no different from smoky makeup, sallow skin, and hair like dry straw. It wouldn't be surprising if you said I was about to die suddenly.

"This time, a total of six strands of time power Extraction..." Lin Fan felt a pang of pain as three strands of his time power were Extraction. One of the remaining three strands surged back towards the candle above his head, causing the candle's temperature to rise slightly.

At the same time, the candle's feedback appeared again, and a power was injected into Lin Fan's body once more. Lin Fan's body became full again, his skin became fair and shiny, his hair became black and lustrous, his eyes became bright and piercing, and his whole person was completely renewed.

"This is the power of the candle..." Lin Fan felt his body become incredibly strong, even stronger than before. He clenched his fist and heard a crisp cracking sound from his joints, reminding Lin Fan that this was not an illusion.

"Don't rush to start again... Calm down and plan carefully how to Extraction more time power." Lin Fan forced himself to calm down, sat in front of the computer, and communicated with those seniors about how to Extraction more time. However, the information he received next made Lin Fan feel as if he had been hit by a billion-dollar lottery.

"According to others, they all meditated in a quiet room the day before to be able to Extraction a few strands of time power, but I am different..." Lin Fan suddenly felt his extraordinary nature.

He had always been ordinary, never outstanding or special, until this moment when he finally felt that he was different from others and believed that he was favored by fate.

The idea of handing the candle over to the imperial court vanished. Touching the candle above his head, Lin Fan felt his heart pounding. "This is a treasure, a priceless treasure. It's mine, mine!!!"

Lin Fan rushed into the toilet again, pouring cold water over himself to calm himself down. "Calm down, don't flaunt your wealth. The imperial court is also looking for this candle. I'd better just be my Sword God of Shili Slope."

So, after subtly inquiring about some techniques, Lin Fan set off again. After chanting a spell, Lin Fan reappeared in his past self.

"No wonder no one noticed me, the elevator surveillance camera was broken!" Lin Fan followed the perspective of his past self and saw the dim surveillance camera in the elevator. "So, before, when no one was watching me in the elevator, I was in Schrödinger's cat state, which is why I was able to Extraction the power of time relatively easily."
