Du Yu couldn't understand why he had only now begun to feel dizzy when he and Sage had been in the same room all along. Had that strange man caused all of this?
With such an uncanny ability, could that strange man really be Time?
"He's... here?" Sage murmured. "Time, what are you playing at?!"
"If I said this wasn't my doing, would you believe me?" the strange man said slowly.
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?!" Sage demanded angrily. But just as he was about to lash out, something occurred to him. "Could it be..."
"Exactly. You need to go back and keep a close eye on her. She's about to remember everything. She's about to remember that 'mission'..." the strange man said slowly.
"A'jiao..." Sage struggled to lift his head and look behind the strange man. "No, A'jiao doesn't matter now... as long as I kill Du Yu, everything will end..."
With that, Sage began crawling toward the space behind the strange man, inch by inch. But with every movement, his dizziness grew worse, until even his vision blurred.
Du Yu felt the same bizarre sensation. His head was pressed deep against the ground, and he couldn't move a muscle.
At the sight, the strange man slowly sighed. His fingers shifted slightly, and the two men immediately turned around against their will. The dizziness enveloping them vanished as well.
Du Yu and Sage both gasped for breath.
"No one gets to act recklessly here," the strange man said slowly. "If you're Sage, go and properly deal with your Xie Yujiao. If you're Du Yu, go back and dutifully find a way to stay alive."
This time, Du Yu had truly come into contact with Sage. The moment the dizziness vanished, an inexplicable fury welled up
