Chapter 873: I Who Exist for You 09

~7 min read 1,290 words

【Host, this is the timeline where 16-year-old Yishen is.】

Jin Chen sighed.

He was only one second away from being able to kill that Time Exchange member.

But… being able to see his 16-year-old wife is also an interesting experience.

Jin Chen looked around.

This is the lower floor of the Yi family's detached small western-style house, with a small garden; looking up, one can see the attic balcony.

By the shrubs to his front left, there were two men dressed strangely.

That is, the Number Four and Number Five just heard.

"He probably didn't follow us, right?" Number Four was very vigilant, looking around, "Even if he could teleport, he couldn't possibly enter the timeline."

Jin Chen slowly poked his head out.

Are they talking about him, right?

Number Five happened to turn his head and look over, so Jin Chen quickly shrank back.

"The timeline is correct; hurry up and lure him away to get the diary."

Number Four urged him, patting Number Five's shoulder.

The two sneaked up to the attic.

Jin Chen also silently followed.

At the grass near the attic balcony, Jin Chen suddenly popped out.

"Hey guys, great to see you."

The two members:!!!

Their frightened expressions could not be hidden.

"How are you also here!" Number Five exclaimed in shock.

"You guess!!"

Jin Chen revealed an excited smile, taking advantage of Number Four's inattention, he side-kicked and snatched the shuttle device.

"Let's play an adventure game; the loser dies."

"Give it back!"

Number Four clutched his chest, reacting and wanting to launch an attack.

"Come find me yourself."

Jin Chen hehe laughed and snapped his fingers loudly in front of them.

"Dis… disappeared!"

Number Five remained shocked, slapping his palm onto Number Four's shoulder, "Brother! He's gone!"

"Cough cough cough… I saw him!"

Number Four had already been kicked, and being slapped almost made him faint; he fiercely aimed a kick at his knee, "Hurry up and find someone! Otherwise we won't only be unable to return, but our vitality won't be guaranteed!"

The two exchanged a glance and then went to search from different directions.

Jin Chen followed like a shadow.

First, he followed the seemingly more foolish Number Five.

Dim-witted.

Jin Chen gave an evaluation.

"Idiot, how could I possibly be in the flower bed……"

He silently followed, muttering while looking for an opportunity to ambush.

For example, now.

"Ouch!"

Number Five was bending over to look at the flower bed by the main gate when his butt was suddenly kicked, sending him flipping through the air and landing headfirst in the flower bed.

【Precise throw! Ninety points!】

0731 cheered!

Jin Chen kicked his exposed butt again, confirming he couldn't get out for now, then clapped his hands reassured and went to look for the next unlucky guy.

"Strange, where could the person be."

Number Four had to be much more vigilant, knowing that someone hiding in the dark would ambush, he always held an energy gun.

Perhaps because his life was threatened, Number Four temporarily forgot he still needed to find the diary.

He searched along the path beside the western-style house, occasionally glancing at the roadside woods.

Jin Chen followed him for a stretch, also looking around with him.

"Am I some Spider-Man, having to search even in these corners."

He silently complained, just about to throw a punch, when Number Four, sensing the air disturbance, swiftly dodged and pointed the gun barrel at him.

"Found you! Come out!"

Number Four aimed at the spot where the disturbance had just been and fired.

Jin Chen barely dodged, his expression astonished, "There's actually something, bro!"

Looks like this method won't work.

He stepped back a few steps, grabbed the ornamental wood by the road, and threw it straight at Number Four.

He shouted a warning, "Buddy! Catch it!"

Number Four was startled, turned and performed a spinning kick.

But one after another, they kept being thrown from different directions.

At first one could still keep one's reflexes, but gradually it became hard to keep up.

Pat—

A passerby's vegetables fell to the ground, and they clutched their chest for a while.

Mother!

Someone was controlling wood, and even flying in the sky.

"Who… who are you! I'm going to call the police!"

Number Four cursed under his breath, "Get lost!"

"Really, how can you be so fierce toward ordinary people?"

Jin Chen spoke again.

This time he picked up a big rock and threw it at his head.

This time Number Four was distracted, didn't have time to react, and the rock hit his head squarely.

【Super smash! 100 points!】

0731 cheered.

Resident: "..."

Now they didn't dare call the police, clutching their chest they ran, fearing that if they slowed down the next one would be them.

Where did this invisible monster come from!

Scared someone to death.

Jin Chen took care of both members, then he breathed a sigh of relief, watching the residents run away quickly.

【Host messed up! Number Five pulled himself out! Dodge, the Yishen family is heading to the attic!】

Jin Chen hurriedly chased after.

It was midsummer, Jin Chen came over still wearing a down jacket, and he ended up sweating all over from the heat; when he reached the attic he grabbed Number Five and threw him downstairs.

Perhaps the commotion was too big, drawing Yishen out of the attic room.

"Mother… is it you coming back?"

Yishen poked his head out from the attic to look downstairs, his tone very cautious.

But no one answered.

He stayed silent for two seconds, confirmed he had misheard, then relaxed, patted his chest, and went back to his room.

Sixteen-year-old Yishen wasn't that mature, naive and obedient; after returning to his room he continued to curl up in the corner writing his diary.

Between the lines were strong urges to express that couldn't be spoken aloud.

Midsummer blazing, the youth's pale cheeks turned red from the heat; fortunately the attic was shady, and there was an old fan missing blades creaking as it turned.

After the prologue was written, it was time to write the protagonist's name.

Yishen flipped through the rough-edged old dictionary at hand, muttering to himself.

"We need to find a name with a good meaning……can't be the same as mine."

"Speak cautiously, act prudently"—the words that have confined him since childhood, clinging like a shadow and binding him to this day.

Yishen sniffed, wiped away sweat, and found a good name.

He picked up a pen and wrote the two characters Jin Chen stroke by stroke.

Future like brocade, the hour of Chen auspicious.

Jin Chen leaned against the doorframe, chuckling lightly, holding the already fainted Number Five in his hand.

It seemed he heard some movement, and Yishen instinctively turned his head to look.

But what he saw was only the retreating back leaving the balcony, backlit by the sun, the coat's hem blown by the heat wave, disappearing in the next second.

Yishen froze, and after another blink it was gone.

Was it an illusion?

He came to his senses, looked at the name on the diary, tilted his head, wrote a line of description, then casually took a colored paper and drew the illusion just seen.

【Welcome back to 2040.】

0731 came with a sense of ceremony and said this.

Jin Chen tossed aside the already skeletonized Number Five, and in the blink of an eye it vanished.

Again, it was like this.

So it had nothing to do with bullets.

Time Exchange, indeed strange, its employees are all a bunch of skeletons.

"Why don't you come in?"

Yishen walked out puzzled, still holding the diary he had found.

"It's fine, I just tripped a bit."
