"Sister Sheng!" Jiang Yu cried out.
As though she had found her pillar of support in an instant, she looked at Sheng An with both anxiety and hope.
Sister Sheng was back!
Could she fix this?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Sheng An vanished. It was not a sudden disappearance: she leaned backward, lunging toward Old Chu, while a faint white light blazed dazzlingly bright.
She clutched the meteorite fragment, blood dripping from her palm-tick, tick-like the sound of a clock advancing.
In that instant, Jiang Yu seemed to see the enormous clock again, its strange markings and white hands... mysterious and dangerous.
The clock stood within the white light, taking Sheng An's place.
Bang-
In front of them, the entire scene changed in the blink of an eye.
Old Chu sat bewildered in his seat, rubbed his neck in confusion, then looked at everyone standing in different places, puzzled.
He seemed unable to understand how everyone who had been sitting peacefully inside the vehicle had suddenly changed positions.
There was no wound on his neck, but the blood on Song Linwei's and the others' hands remained.
Long Tianyu had merely blinked before finding himself back in his seat. The "killer" he had been holding was now in Sheng An's grasp.
She stood outside the open vehicle door, one leg braced against it. One hand clutched the fragment, dripping blood, while the other gripped the man's throat.
Everyone: "!!!"
Time Reversal!
Sheng An had first reversed her own time to return to the vehicle, then reversed time within a small area, pulling Old Chu back to before his assassination. Long Tianyu, who had been closest, was affected too, his state reverting to before Old Chu's death.
Jiang Yu's eyes went wide.
Long Tianyu could not believe it.
