A loud voice resounded throughout the City of Childhood.

"1, 2, ..., 98, 99, 100, time's up, I'm coming to catch it!"

As he finished speaking, Jin Litong slowly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across his surroundings like lightning. With just one glance, he noticed that the sky full of golden swords were all pointing in a specific direction.

Jin Litong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. He leaped lightly into the air, like a nimble bird, and instantly reached the top of the building blocks. His goal was remarkably clear. From his high vantage point, he gazed down at Tong Yi, who was hiding among the blocks below, and spoke softly.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, I don't want to grow up! Find one!"

Hearing this voice, Tong Yi's body trembled violently. She raised her head and met Jin Litong's gaze. When her eyes fell on the sky full of golden swords, a look of dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on her face, and she stamped her feet.

"You cheated! These golden swords actually showed you the way!" Tong Yi accused angrily.

However, Jin Litong responded without showing any weakness.

"Blame me? Isn't this all your own fault? Go stand over there!"

His tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jin Litong waved the golden sword in his hand, pointing the blade at Tong Yi. The murderous aura emanating from the tip of the sword made people feel suffocated.

Seeing this, Tong Yi couldn't help feeling a sense of fear in his heart, and he immediately became obedient. He hung his head and walked obediently to the place designated by Jin Litong and stood there.

"So, who's next? Who's it going to be?!"

Jin Litong crossed his arms, a playful look on his face. He looked around with a sharp light in his eyes.

However, Jin Litong didn't pay much attention to Tong Yi's reaction. He slowly stood up, his eyes sharp as a torch, carefully observing everything around him. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and no slight movement could escape his eyes.

Seeing that he couldn't find his target above, Jin Litong leaped without hesitation and landed on the ground. His steps were firm and powerful, and each step exuded an undeniable majesty. He strode forward without restraint.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

The combat boots made a heavy sound when they stepped on the floor, like muffled thunder. The footsteps were full of oppression, as if every step was stepping on people's hearts.

Ai Zhen and Chen Sisi, hiding in the shadows, heard the terrifying footsteps, their hearts leaping into their throats. They covered their mouths tightly, not daring to make a single sound. The footsteps, sometimes distant, sometimes approaching, kept them in a state of high tension.

"This guy, must have done this on purpose..." Shi Xi hid in a secluded corner, listening to the heavy footsteps, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. She frowned slightly and muttered softly.

"Oh? It seems like a kitten is making a sound!" Jin Litong's mouth corners slightly raised, and his voice was drawn out with a hint of teasing.

When Shi Xi heard Jin Litong's words, she felt a little unhappy, but she still chose to remain silent. However, the heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, approaching her.

Just when she thought she was discovered and was about to walk out, the footsteps suddenly shifted and went to the other side.

Less than ten seconds later, the footsteps disappeared again, and the entire Tongxin City fell into silence, without a single sound.

Just as she peered outside to see what was happening, a golden figure descended from the sky and landed behind her. A smile played on the figure's lips, but no sound emanated. He leaned against a giant building block, quietly observing Shi Xi's reaction. The two were only two body lengths apart; if Shi Xi had turned, he would have seen Jin Litong.

However, Shi Xi didn't notice anyone behind her. She carefully looked around for a long time, but didn't even see Jin Litong. She touched her chin, thinking, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Shi Xi frowned, and just as she took two steps back, she bumped into something hard. She reached out her hand and touched it gently. Hiss! No, it wasn't a building block, but a set of solid armor! Her heart skipped a beat, and standing behind her was Jin Litong.

"Shi Xi, how are you?" As Jin Litong's voice slowly rang out, Shi Xi's lips curled up slightly. She turned around and saw Jin Litong with his arms folded across his chest, looking at her with a smile in his eyes. A trace of helplessness welled up in her heart.

Shi Xi smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a force of time spread out like a ripple, instantly covering Jin Litong's body. Jin Litong's body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

"However, teasing the God of Time is not a wise move!" Shi Xi winked at Jin Litong playfully, then lowered his head and looked at his palms, as if thinking about something.

"It seems that in this city of childhood, playing games can better restore my spiritual power." Shi Xi said to herself. She seemed to have understood some of the rules of this city.

However, Jin Litong's eyes widened as he stared at Shi Xi. Although his body couldn't move, his consciousness remained clear. He realized that Shi Xi had used the power of time to restrain him, and he quickly mobilized his immortal power to try to break the spell cast by Shi Xi.

"Hmm... Hide and seek seems to have a time limit. Isn't this a bit unfair..."

Shi Xi muttered to himself, lost in thought, and quickly waved his hand to dispel the spell when Jin Litong was about to break it, which made Jin Litong silent.

"I... forget it, I'll go catch them first!"

Jin Litong looked at Shi Xi and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Finally, he changed the subject, shook his head, and turned to walk to the other side.

Shi Xi nodded slightly, said nothing, and walked towards Tong Yi.

Without any surprise, Ai Zhen and Chen Sisi were caught and played tricks on by Jin Litong. In his previous life, he was a master at playing games, and it was easy for him to play tricks on them.

Ai Zhen even hugged Jin Litong's arm and acted coquettishly, asking Jin Litong to let her play again. This made Jin Litong quite helpless, and he had to persuade Ai Zhen to go back after much persuasion.

Then Ai Zhen started to make things happen according to Tong Yi's idea, letting Jin Litong hide alone while four people caught him, with a time limit of twenty minutes.

The resolution was passed by four to one, the minority obeyed the majority, and the game began.

Jin Litong was quite helpless. He created hundreds of his own golden sculptures of different shapes out of thin air and placed them in various corners to confuse them. He also dug a hole in a building block and crawled into it. He successfully hid for twenty minutes, causing Ai Zhen and the other three to return empty-handed.

"I've already told you I'm gifted. Whether it's hiding or finding, there's no problem."

Jin Litong crossed his arms across his chest with an arrogant look on his face, teasing the depressed Ai Zhen in front of him.

"No, no, come again!"

Aizhen pouted, obviously drunk.

Jin Litong stopped him decisively and played many games with Ai Zhen and the other three, successfully making him happy.
