Chapter 1 Manipulating Time
Are you sure you want to buy this?
Inside the scrap metal recycling station, the owner looked at the young man in surprise; it was the first time someone had come to buy something from him.
Looking at the old-fashioned pendulum clock that had been carelessly discarded in the corner.
Ye Tian nodded without hesitation.
"I prefer to collect old items."
"If you like it, then give me twenty yuan."
I bought it because I liked it, but I found that I couldn't fix it no matter what I did.
That's why it had been left lying in a corner; if it hadn't been suddenly brought up, I would have almost forgotten it even existed.
"good!"
Ye Tian didn't haggle; he promptly handed over twenty yuan, picked up the clock, and left.

night.
In a detached residential building in the suburbs, Ye Tian had just rented a place. The mottled walls bore the marks of time, and there was no one else in the house except Ye Tian.
The room was simply furnished.
The old-fashioned pendulum clock I bought not long ago is hanging on the wall, along with several other old-fashioned pendulum clocks that are also quite old.
On the table directly in front of them, besides a tattered-looking burlap sack, there was only a stained and rusty game coin.
Ye Tian searched through several sewers before finding it.
His gaze swept over each of the items.
"A day is simply too short."
If I could be reborn earlier, I might have had more time to collect things.
That's right, Ye Tian is a reincarnated person, reborn from ten years in the future.
Ten years of painful struggle, ten years of humble survival, ten years of caution and prudence, yet I never expected to die in a bizarre game.
"The eerie game is never a game for humans, but a feast for the bizarre."
Memories return.
I glanced at the time; midnight was fast approaching. In my previous life, the bizarre game descended upon Earth on this very day, and on this very day, everything would be overturned and reenacted.
Since his rebirth last night, Ye Tian hasn't closed his eyes to rest.
I was just waiting for an opportunity.
last life.
After ten years of cautiously surviving, I finally died in this catastrophe. Since surviving was useless, but I had another chance, I was determined to live a different life.
As Ye Tian gazed at the moon outside the window, which was gradually turning red, his eyes also became brighter and sharper.

at last.
Time passed little by little, and the hands soon reached the zero point.
As midnight arrived, a slight tremor occurred throughout the entire planet Earth, waking many people from their slumber and instinctively thinking it was an earthquake.
Ye Tian stood quietly by the window, calmly watching the moon turn completely red.
Tentacles seemed to spread out from around the red moon, becoming twisted and eerie.
"A bizarre game has arrived!"
"Wishing all players a pleasant gaming experience."
The voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears, as if it came from the depths of one's heart.
Many people who were not woken up by the vibration were startled awake by the sound.
Compared to the panic and confusion of those people, Ye Tian had already calmly opened his character template.
Player: Ye Tian
Level: 1 (0/100)
Strength: 10
Speed: 10
Constitution: 10
"Spirit: 10"
"Talent: Opening the Ghostly Door from Behind"
A standard blank start, my eyes scanned over all the stats, finally settling on the talent section.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his talent hasn't changed; it's still the same talent from his previous life.
In the original plan, talent was the most important element. As long as the talent remained unchanged, the backup plan prepared earlier could be used as insurance.
"Open the Ghost Gate from behind: Forcibly suppress a ghost and amplify your own power."
PS: Once used, the eerie element cannot be changed.
In his previous life, Ye Tian was able to survive for ten years thanks to this talent. However, he had to search for a long time before he could suppress a charred corpse monster.
Although his abilities were decent, he was ultimately no match for those guys who came out of hell later on.
This time.
Ye Tian absolutely must use this opportunity to find an even better one.
The city may have been thrown into chaos by these strange changes, but Ye Tian was in the suburbs, where everything was still quiet, not even the sound of mosquitoes.
Turning around, his gaze settled on the old-fashioned pendulum clocks on the wall.
"Click!"
One of the clocks suddenly made a strange noise.
The clock, which had been impossible to repair, seemed to regain its vitality at this moment, and its hands began to move in an orderly fashion.
It stood out starkly in the eerily quiet room.
But Ye Tian's gaze was fixed intently on the old-fashioned pendulum clock.
"Found you!"
Time is unpredictable!
A mysterious and dangerous eeriness, never before contracted by humans, never before observed by humans.
According to rumors, the Time Ghost was originally created from an old-fashioned clock in a garbage recycling station. When it was first revived, it absorbed the time of all life in the surrounding area.
In the ten years before his rebirth, the Time Ghost only appeared twice more.
Each time it appears, it takes away the time of all life in a region. It cannot be resisted, cannot be defended against, and there is no way to suppress it.
It is known as one of the most mysterious and terrifying supernatural phenomena.
If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't occur very often and mysteriously disappears after each absorption, the level of danger would only be higher.
Ye Tian originally just wanted to take a gamble.
Sure enough, we found it.
It was worth it to visit so many recycling stations and buy so many clocks.
"Click! Click!"
The pointer moved in an orderly fashion.
As the hands moved, the pendulum clock seemed to come alive, with something appearing to wriggle inside its surface.
Ye Tian sensed it keenly.
The surrounding air seemed to have become viscous, and it took longer than before to simply raise a hand.
"It's recovered!"
We can't wait any longer; the time warp has already begun to recover.
Time is gradually being distorted, and if nothing unexpected happens, the next step will be to absorb the life in the surrounding area.
Right now.
This was the moment Ye Tian had been waiting for.
"Open the door to the underworld!"
He ripped off his coat, bent over slightly, and hunched his back.
Several blood-red lines gradually appeared on the skin of Ye Tian's back, forming a door pattern. As the mysterious door gradually opened, it was as if a crack had split open in the middle of Ye Tian's back.
The flesh and blood separated to both sides.
His teeth were clenched tightly together, and the pain made the veins on Ye Tian's forehead bulge.
Ten years had long since made Ye Tian accustomed to pain. Now that he finally had another chance, Ye Tian was determined not to allow any accidents to happen.
"Come!"
A pitch-black, eerie hand emerged from the opened eerie door, dripping what appeared to be a viscous substance.
It spread all the way to the pendulum clock, gripping one corner of it tightly.
"Buzzing!"
Seemingly sensing a threat, the Time Ghost began to vibrate, and the speed at which its surface writhed increased.
Don't even think about it!
Want to run? You won't get a chance.
The memories of ten years of painful struggle now surfaced before his eyes, and Ye Tian's eyes gradually turned crazed.
"Come here right now!!!"
