Chapter 182: Time Angel Zafkiel, the power to reverse time

The Tianshu Bureau didn't care whether what appeared before them was Tokisaki Kurumi's clone or true body; what they sought was just to reach an agreement.

But it was clear that Tokisaki Kurumi didn't trust the Tianshu Bureau; coincidentally, they didn't trust Tokisaki Kurumi much either.

So, out of importance for this spirit who controlled time, they requested Zhong Lao to take action.

Zhong Lao was not familiar with Tokisaki Kurumi.

The plot of Date A Live was a bit too "young" for this elderly man; he just browsed through Tokisaki Kurumi's information simply.

It just so happened that this information clearly recorded: in the hands of this spirit who controlled time, there was the blood of no less than ten thousand people; and she could drag humans into her shadow and devour them without leaving a trace. If those devoured were included, the number of victims would probably increase.

Although the information also recorded that most of the people killed by Tokisaki Kurumi were misbehaving, Zhong Lao did not ignore the importance of her.

Most were misbehaving, so what about the very few?

Tokisaki Kurumi's existence was too dangerous. If she were allowed to stay in Da Xia's territory and kill people and seize others' time according to her own preferences and judgments, it would be too dangerous for the people of Da Xia.

So, Zhong Lao agreed to take action and brought her to the Tianshu Bureau within just one day.

On Da Xia's land, wanting to find someone was not a difficult thing for him.

The ability of time, although tricky, Tokisaki Kurumi, who was standing on the land and had weak physical defense, didn't even have the ability to take action in front of him.

In the containment room, although Tokisaki Kurumi's body was bound by rocks, she still maintained an elegant and calm posture; her wine-red right eye turned slightly, looking at Su Mengyao who appeared in front of her.

"I didn't expect us to meet so soon."

"Finding me so easily and sealing me, I don't know if that existence is Zhong Lao or Ye Shen?"

Zhong Lao's too young face misled her, but the gap in strength between the two made her feel incredible.

In the case of her true body, she was bound without any resistance.

She had never encountered such a powerful enemy.

"Of course it's Zhong Lao."

"If Ye Xuan had taken action, you would have already died."

Su Mengyao sat on a chair, completely undefended against the bound Tokisaki Kurumi.

Just kidding, Zhong Lao was watching outside the containment room. She believed that Tokisaki Kurumi could break through Zhong Lao's binding and hurt her, rather than believing that Tokisaki Kurumi was actually transformed by the First Spirit.

"Alright, let's talk about business."

"Now that you are in this situation, you have seen it; although we know the reason why you plunder time, we also know that those you killed might not have been innocent, and we also know that after you return to the past, the dead will be resurrected."

"But those are settings in the work. For you in reality, to say that we don't value you at all, or that we trust you completely, is obviously impossible."

"If your strength is strong enough, strong enough that we can't do anything about you, then naturally there is no way, we can only choose to believe; but..."

Su Mengyao glanced at the bound Tokisaki Kurumi and shrugged slightly. The meaning behind her words was obvious.

If Tokisaki Kurumi were as powerful as the First Spirit, no one could stop her from doing whatever she wanted, and they could only hope she wouldn't "not eat beef"; but she didn't have the powerful power of the First Spirit.

Being able to cooperate with each other was the best for them. Vitality, it wasn't like it had to be human; there were so many mutated creatures, and no one stopped Tokisaki Kurumi from plundering their vitality.

But she was unwilling to cooperate and was resistant to the Tianshu Bureau, so they naturally couldn't completely trust her "kindness." This was not the Tokisaki Kurumi before she became a spirit.

"So, what do you want to do with my ability?"

Tokisaki Kurumi looked up at Su Mengyao, a faint smile on her lips.

Since she had been caught and there was an existence she couldn't contend with on the opposite side, continuing to be tough was obviously not a wise move; she didn't want to be sealed in this place forever.

Although there were still her clones outside, the possibility of the clones saving the true body was too low.

Su Mengyao didn't answer directly, but asked back:

"Can the Zafkiel's Sixth Bullet, Eleventh Bullet, and Twelfth Bullet be used?"

Her gaze was particularly serious.

Among the abilities possessed by Tokisaki Kurumi's Zafkiel, the powerful ones were not just these three, but in Su Mengyao's view, these three were the most critical.

The Sixth Bullet could transfer consciousness to the past self; the Eleventh Bullet could send the object to the future; the Twelfth Bullet could send the object back to the past.

If these abilities could be realized, no matter what the price was, it would be worth it.

"Can't do it."

Tokisaki Kurumi shook her head very simply.

"If it could really be done, I wouldn't be in this world now, but back in the original world."

Her tone was calm, but it carried a hint of imperceptible loneliness.

If it could be used, she wouldn't have been caught, and it would be impossible to still be in this world. She would have sent herself back to before she came to this world long ago.

Su Mengyao was not surprised, just a bit of a pity.

Because their world had "dimensional invasion," they felt that there would be a certain suppression in terms of time abilities. Going to the future and returning to the past, in their view, were unrealistic things.

Now it seemed that it was indeed the case.

"What about the Ninth Bullet?"

The Ninth Bullet could connect consciousness with people existing in different time axes. If it could be realized...

"No."

Alright, the idea was shattered before it was implemented.

"Then what about the Fourth Bullet?"

This time, Su Mengyao's tone was obviously nervous.

The Fourth Bullet could reverse the time of the target, which was not only effective for Tokisaki Kurumi herself, but also applicable to other creatures.

She clearly remembered that in the original work, Tokisaki Kurumi had used this ability on a kitten.

"I can."

Tokisaki Kurumi keenly captured the emotional change of the other party, her red lips slightly raised; but then she added:

"However, it is ineffective for life that has already died. They no longer have a time trajectory that can be traced back."

"I know this, of course."

Su Mengyao sighed slightly.

Knowing Tokisaki Kurumi's abilities, how could she not know this? But even with psychological preparation, confirming it in person was still disappointing.

If even the time of the deceased could be reversed, the world of "no one truly dies" that they dreamed of might be realized.

Of course, mutated creatures might die more; but who would care about the life of a group of mutated creatures?

"If the time of death is extremely short, such as the heart just stopped beating and brain death has not yet occurred, can it be traced back through the Fourth Bullet?"

This was what Su Mengyao really wanted to ask.

Although the healing of the Twin Hands was powerful, it required time to cast, and there was not so much time for Jiang Qingyao to cast in the battlefield; and Jiang Qingyao was only one person, and the Tianshu Bureau couldn't let her unfold treatment on the battlefield.

But Tokisaki Kurumi was different. She could use the clone ability of the Eighth Bullet and the time reversal of the Fourth Bullet in the battlefield at the same time, which could be called the most perfect battlefield support.

Imagine such a scene:

Whenever a soldier is injured, a clone immediately flashes to the scene, the sound of a gun rings lightly, the light of the Fourth Bullet covers the wounded, time flows backward, and the wound is restored;

When someone is on the verge of death but has not yet truly passed away, time reversal can also snatch them back from the hands of the god of death.

If used properly, the number of casualties in the beast tide attack could definitely be reduced to a minimum.

The only constraint was just the consumption of time, but time... still the same sentence, no one would care about the time of mutated creatures being plundered.

It was just a pity that there was currently only one piece of the legendary kitchenware. If they were all collected, let Lin Miao make a dish, achieving immortality.

Was time still a problem for them?

As for whether Tokisaki Kurumi could really stand on their side, that still needed to consume spiritual power, which was nothing. The spiritual power in the neighboring world was much, and was the Spiritual Qi of the Blue Star not much?

These were not problems.

The only problem was whether Tokisaki Kurumi could really stand on their side.

Although Zhong Lao's contract contained the power of the Rock God, as long as the contract was signed, violating it would definitely suffer a price; but this time spirit Tokisaki Kurumi could completely use Zafkiel to transfer her consciousness to the body before signing the contract.

Such a contract would be useless against her.

The me who signed the contract is this second's me; what does that have to do with the me from the previous second?

Therefore, it is a bit tricky.

Tokisaki Kurumi naturally did not know what Su Mengyao was thinking, but she chuckled softly after hearing her question:

"How greedy."

"However... to this extent, it is indeed doable."

Her gaze fixed on Su Mengyao, she tilted her head slightly, the hair on her left side swaying gently with the movement, revealing that covered left eye, which flowed slowly within the iris like molten gold.

Changing the subject, her tone suddenly became playful.

"But what are you prepared to trade with? After all, what needs to be consumed is my time."

Being able to do something and wanting to do it are two different things.

She could make these things happen, but what could they offer in return?

"You don't need to worry about time; we will find a way to resolve it for you. If you have any other needs, you can also bring them up, and we will satisfy them as much as possible."

"In the future, the Origin Spirit may also appear in reality. If, after reading the story of your original world, you still wish to kill her, and Da Xia has the ability to kill her at that time, we will help you kill her."

"If there is a way to let you return to your original world, we will also do our best to help you return to your original world."

The reason Tokisaki Kurumi wanted to kill Takamiya Mio was not only because of Takamiya Mio's deception and betrayal, which led to Tokisaki Kurumi accidentally killing her best friend Yamagami Sawa, but also because Takamiya Mio was the origin of all spirits; her existence led to the subsequent appearance of spirits and all the tragedies between spirits and humans.
