Chapter 1356

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. You can call me He Who Remains, because I..."

He Who Remains showed a mouthful of white teeth, swayed his body slightly, and rotated an apple with his hands. Besides being approachable, there was a feeling that he would start performing at any moment.

Not very reliable!

This entrance made Sylvie and Dottie Underwood, who were full of expectations, very disappointed. How should I put it? It was completely different from what they imagined He Who Remains should look like.

Two words can summarize their current mood.

Just this?

"You should indeed be called He Who Remains. Calling you Kang is a bit of an insult to Kang..."

Su Quan interrupted He Who Remains' performance. He could understand that He Who Remains had stayed here alone for too long, or rather had been trapped here for too long, and his spirit was a bit abnormal. Now that he finally saw other people, it was inevitable that he would have a desire to perform.

But...

This thing is really a bit of an eyesore!

He Who Remains, whose identity was exposed, was silent for a few seconds, and said with a melancholy expression: "Kang... I haven't been called by that name for a long time."

Saying that, he looked at Su Quan: "Can you answer me a question?"

"You, who exactly are you!"

Su Quan said with a light laugh: "Who am I? That's a good question. Everyone's identity changes with the environment and experience. My core and most resounding identity is the Lord of the Void."

"Soon, to be precise, after killing you, my identity will be the ruler of the multiverse timeline!"

"Of course, at this time, at this moment, in this place, I only have one identity, and that is your terminator!"

He Who Remains raised his eyebrows, noncommittally gestured to the side and invited: "Anyway, shall we go to my office to chat?"

Sylvie and Dottie Underwood looked at Su Quan. Su Quan didn't take it seriously and walked into the elevator with big strides.

The two followed closely behind.

The elevator door closed automatically and rose slowly.

He Who Remains ate the apple in his hand and said loudly without looking back: "Is it different from what you imagined?"

"You, are you really just an ordinary person?" Sylvie asked.

He Who Remains answered casually: "An ordinary person of flesh and blood! Don't tell me you are disappointed?"

"No."

"That makes it easier to kill you."

After Sylvie finished speaking, the Sword of Victory in her hand stabbed directly toward He Who Remains.

A flash of luck crossed He Who Remains' face. He had lost his 'precognition' ability, but countless cycle experiences made him very familiar with Sylvie.

Every time this scene was experienced, Sylvie would be unable to resist trying to kill him.

"Shoo!"

At the critical moment, He Who Remains suddenly flashed to the leather chair behind them.

The sword missed. Sylvie was stunned and swung her sword toward He Who Remains again.

"Shoo!"

He Who Remains flashed away again by a hair's breadth and appeared behind Sylvie.

This sword missed again!

Sylvie, who was being toyed with, had a gloomy expression. Coincidentally, He Who Remains let out a triumphant laugh again, which made her, who was already burning with anger, explode with rage, and she prepared to fight him to the death.

Just at this moment, He Who Remains' laughter suddenly stopped abruptly, followed by a choking sound as if someone was gripping his throat.

Sylvie turned to look and saw He Who Remains with his feet off the ground, arms vertical, wearing a mask of pain on his face, as if he had been gripped by some invisible force by the throat and lifted up.

Su Quan squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "Toying with my people by acting mysterious, are you in such a hurry to seek death?"

"Sylvie."

"Stab him."

He Who Remains is Sylvie's greatest enemy. An enemy, of course, is better off dead!

As Su Quan's words fell, Sylvie had already pierced He Who Remains' heart with her sword.

He Who Remains' expression stiffened, his eyes instantly widened. He was about to reach his office, about to enter the stage of talking and negotiating, but Su Quan didn't play by the rules at all and actually took action at this time...

Just because I toyed with Sylvie?

Don't you have any doubts about the Sacred Timeline, the time flow, or the Time Variance Authority, or any secrets you want to know?

"Shoo!"

He Who Remains looked at Su Quan and disappeared again...

"Hmm?" Seeing that He Who Remains could actually escape from Su Quan's hands, Sylvie and Dottie Underwood couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

"Just a time controller." Su Quan explained dismissively: "The original Sacred Timeline was a cycle. He had already experienced it countless times, so he set it up with the time controller early on."

He Who Remains is indeed an ordinary person of flesh and blood with no superpowers.

But a plot repeated countless times, even for an ordinary person, can remember what will happen at every time point. As long as it is set in advance and the timing is mastered, one can achieve the purpose of acting mysterious by flashing.

He Who Remains no longer knew the future direction of the new script. If he wanted to act cool as smoothly as before, he had to actively guide the 'plot'.

That's why he took the elevator to appear, and after Su Quan said he was his terminator, he abruptly ended the topic and jumped directly to inviting them to take the elevator to his office.

He had to ensure that the plot would happen within the time point he had set in advance!

Among the three of Su Quan, the only one he was familiar with was Sylvie. If he wanted to act mysterious and act cool, he could only pick on Sylvie.

In fact, he acted pretty well.

After admitting that he was just an ordinary person of flesh and blood, he used precognition and flashing to toy with Sylvie, who took action, adding a lot of coolness and mystery to himself.

Normally, when encountering this situation, most people would not choose to take action. After all, they hadn't figured out how he did it, and taking action rashly might get themselves involved.

As long as Su Quan had taken action a few seconds later, letting He Who Remains disappear from the elevator as designed and arrive at the office first, this act would have been smooth.

Unfortunately, Su Quan, who should have cooperated with the performance, turned a blind eye and refused to play by the rules, directly smashing He Who Remains' act of being cool to pieces!

PS: This chapter was really uncomfortable to write. On one hand, I had no ideas and kept revising; on the other hand, I was sweating profusely from anxiety, and I couldn't feel the coolness even with the air conditioning on.
