It was also because of this that he did not notice that the girl, who was originally extremely confused, had her eyes become clear and firm again when she saw him resolutely standing in front of her.
"There's no other way. I can only force myself to try. Otherwise, if I let this thing run wild, who knows what will go wrong..." Li Mo made up his mind.
However, at this moment, Chao Yun Qianzao, still holding his arm in her arms, ran out from behind Li Mo.
It can be seen that the girl is not particularly good at sports. She does not run very fast, but relying on the scales on her body and the remaining magic power on Li Mo's arm, she rushes to the pocket watch against the turbulence of time.
Li Mo wanted to stop her, but he had lost one hand and his sense of balance was affected. He stumbled when he ran and was not even as fast as Yun Qianzao.
The girl held a fruit knife tightly in her hand - Li Mo assumed that it was the one he had used to cut the girl's palm just now - and she used all her strength to stab it into the center of the pocket watch!
Just like a video with the pause button pressed, the pocket watch's rampage came to an abrupt halt.
However, the pocket watch shattered immediately afterwards, and a black hole-like distortion formed in the center, which began to indiscriminately pull in and absorb the surrounding objects.
"Asakumo Chihaya, what are you doing!" Li Mo barely managed to control his body and not be sucked away.
"Sorry, Asakura-san, it looks like I've failed this time..." Standing in the swirling wind, the girl smiled helplessly, her brown hair flying in the growing gale. "But it doesn't matter. As long as I destroy the pocket watch, I can go back and start over..."
"Stop joking, your body can't support retreating again!" Li Mo said angrily.
"Regarding this, Asakura-san, what do you think about giving up on me?"
The girl reached out and brushed her hair from her face, her expression turning into a smile tinged with self-abandonment. "It's all my fault that things turned out this way. I even caused Asakura-san to lose his hand. If this continues, everyone will be in trouble. Instead of letting this happen, it's better for me to stop the chain of disaster right here."
"I'm sorry I can't give you the watch and my body to study as we agreed... But this way, at least your hand can return to its original state when we return to the past, Asakura-kun... And if possible, please tell my parents that I love them very much... I'm really sorry..."
"I'm not interested in being a mouthpiece. You can say that yourself!" Li Mo said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." The girl apologized over and over again. She watched as cracks gradually appeared in the space around her body, a sign of her scales shattering. "What will become of me..."
Li Mo suddenly felt a sense of disharmony.
He remembered that last week, as soon as the girl smashed her pocket watch, time immediately began to go back with almost no time difference.
But this was not the case this time. Although the girl's figure did begin to fade as her scales shattered, she did not disappear immediately, and time did not begin to go back.
In addition, although everything around is being attracted by the hole that looks like a black hole but is actually something else, if you look closely, you can find that the remains of the Moon Clock are lying quietly on the ground under the black hole, and it seems that they are not affected at all.
So that’s how it is, there’s still a chance!
"Give me your hand!" Li Mo tried to stand firm in the wind and shouted at the girl.
"But, a bad boy like me..."
"Stop talking nonsense and give me your hand!" Li Mo shouted again.
Chao Yun Qianzao hesitated for a moment and reached out his hand towards Li Mo.
"No, I mean give me my hand," Li Mo corrected.
"Oh oh..." The girl realized that she had misunderstood and hurriedly returned his arm to Li Mo.
After getting his left hand back, Li Mo checked and found that the spell [Scale] could be used again.
"【scale】!"
Without any hesitation, Li Mo directly wrapped the remains of the Moon Clock with [Scales], and then threw it into the black hole without thinking, and then sealed the hole with [Scales].
Just like the girl said, cause and effect are severed.
Since everything was initially triggered by the 'pocket watch', if the pocket watch disappears, can the chaos of time be forcibly stopped?
The next moment, the black hole suddenly collapsed.
Calm and calm.
Chapter 67 Cycle
Everything was quiet, as if nothing had happened except for a patch of weeds in the middle of the open space that was originally overgrown with weeds.
"finished……"
Asagumo Chihaya murmured.
"How is that possible? The debt won't disappear. It's just that without the pocket watch as a collection platform, the speed at which the spell collects your magic power will slow down. Think of it as paying it back in installments." Li Mo said, "And you also said before that the pocket watch 'suddenly and inexplicably' appeared next to you one day, right?"
"Asakura-san, do you mean to say..." The girl's eyes widened.
The remains of the pocket watch have been swallowed by the black hole, but that "black hole" is obviously not a black hole in the true sense. It is a manifestation similar to the spell rampage produced when the pocket watch was shattered before. In essence, it is still the effect of "time reversal", but in a more radical and violent form.
So where did the remains of the pocket watch go? If it simply fell into a fault in time and space, then without the support of the spell itself, the pocket watch, as a derivative of the spell, would surely disappear completely.
But this would conflict with Li Mo's action of "completely destroying the pocket watch at this time".
Then the answer is obvious. The pocket watch sent to the past will be attracted by the curse itself and fall beside Chihaya Asagumo, whose curse has not yet awakened. The curse in the girl's body will restore it to the appearance of a full-moon timepiece.
The girl will also lose the opportunity to directly awaken her own magic spell like Gokou Ruri because of obtaining the pocket watch, and will become a person who needs the medium of the pocket watch to cast the spell.
Then time flows again—
In a sense, this can also be regarded as a closed loop in time.
Apparently, Chihaya Asagumo had thought of this as well, but then her expression softened. "Perhaps this is what they call fate... And if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to meet Asakura-san, right? Thinking about it this way, it doesn't feel so bad anymore."
"as long as you are happy……"
Li Mo said as he lay on his back on the grass. Although the collection process for the Anti-Moon Clock only took a few minutes, the heavy mental burden inevitably made him feel tired, not to mention the severe pain from his broken arm after the effect of adrenaline wore off.
"Asakura-san!" Chihaya Asagumo was startled by the sight and hurried over to support Li Mo. However, when she saw his broken arm, sadness and heartache still flashed in the girl's eyes: "Are you okay? I'm sorry, if it wasn't me... Anyway, I will take responsibility!"
"Don't be so sad. Which one do you think makes you feel more relieved: 'Ahhh, my king's power' or 'I bet it on the new era'?"
"……sorry."
"You've almost apologized for half your life today." Li Mo didn't care much about it. He tried to sit up: "As for taking responsibility... hold my hand."
The girl immediately stepped forward and held Li Mo's right arm.
"No, it's this one, this one." Li Mo waved the broken left arm in his right hand towards her.
"oh oh……"
The girl took the broken arm timidly and posed as Li Mo asked.
Then she saw Li Mo pressing the wound on his arm directly on the cut of the broken arm, and then he took out a bottle of something that looked like toilet water from somewhere and poured it on the wound.
Under the girl's surprised gaze, flesh and skin quickly grew on Li Mo's broken arm, reconnecting the broken arm.
The whole process was smooth and fluid, without any sense of lag at all.
A moment later, except for an obvious white ring on the upper arm of Li Mo's right arm, there was no trace of the break.
"Unbelievable..." Asagumo Chihaya murmured.
If it weren't for the blood stains on her body that had begun to oxidize and turn black, the girl would have almost thought that everything that had just happened was just a dream.
"Don't be so surprised," Li Mo waved his arms at her as if to show off: "Didn't I tell you before? I'm super awesome."
White savory essence is a potion that Li Mo brewed earlier. It is not as easy to use as the red potion in the game, but it is often very effective in treating cuts on the body. In the original "Harry Potter", white savory essence is a magic medicine used to treat the separation caused by the failure of Apparition. Now it is used by Li Mo to treat severed hands, which is considered to be the right medicine.
Of course, because Li Mo's craftsmanship is relatively shabby, the quality of the potion he brewed is not excellent, so his arm is still a little raw at the moment, and it hurts from time to time. However, as long as he returns to the association hut in Sobu High School and goes to the Great Blessing to bask in the sun for half a day to recover his health, he should be almost healed.
However, the heavy bleeding caused by the broken arm inevitably made Li Mo anemic. After talking to the girl for a few words, he lay on the ground again because of dizziness.
"Although it's not much of a thank you gift..."
The girl knelt on the ground and gently lifted Li Mo's head, letting him rest his head on her thighs: "Compared to the solid ground, this should be more comfortable, right?"
"Hmph, it's okay."
Li Mo felt the softness behind his head and said stubbornly, "I can only offer 30,000 yen at most!"
"It's not some weird shop. Ms. Chihaya's service can't be bought with money." The girl said with a smile.
"Compared to this, classmate Chaoyun, don't you plan to go to the lake? The time we took to solve the problem was surprisingly short. If you go now, you might be able to catch Lemon's confession." Li Mo reminded.
"Want to go over there and watch Yashio-san and Ayano-kun being affectionate? Even if one is mentally resilient, seeing that kind of scene too much will still make one uncomfortable."
The girl smiled lightly and said loudly while massaging Li Mo's temple, "Also, Asakura-san, it's okay if you just call me Chihaya. After all, you are my savior."
"Although it seems like we've been through a lot, we've actually only known each other for less than four hours." Her massage pressure was just right. Feeling the touch of the girl's cool fingertips, Li Mo, who had perked up considerably, reminded her, "And aren't you still calling me 'Asakura-san'?"
"So... Takuma-kun?"
"What is it, Asagumo-san?"
"What a mean person."
"I'm still injured, please don't touch me."
"Takuma-kun."
"What is it, Chihaya?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to call you that."
"That's a pretty good reason."
Chapter 68: People Enjoying Hot Spring Trips
"where have you been?"
Yana saw Xingcai frowning at Li Mo and said, "Liuli said that someone seemed to have invaded your and Ayano's room just now, but Ayano came back and said nothing was stolen..."
"Maybe it's just a service provided by the hotel waitress or something. I don't think you need to take it too seriously." Li Mo said calmly.
By the way, he came back so late because he had to change his clothes.
When he and Chihaya Asagumo appeared in front of the hotel owner again, she was so shocked that her dentures almost fell off.
After all, the two of them didn't look like they had done anything serious - Li Mo's clothes became tattered and had many suspicious stains on them, and Chao Yun Qianzhao was even half covered in Li Mo's blood.
Rather than saying that the young couple was having a particularly big time, it looked more like a couple was out to kill someone and bury the body...
Fortunately, no one was missing in the hotel, otherwise the proprietress would probably have called the police.
"Oh, Lemon's confession was successful! She and Ayano-san are now a couple!" She became excited again. "Childhood sweethearts! Couple! How can there be two words that go so well together!"
"That's really gratifying."
Li Mo said as if nothing had happened.
Seeing his calm demeanor, Yanami puffed out her cheeks. "Our commission was perfectly completed, huh? Why don't you look happy at all?"
"I'm just a little tired... and judging by the outcome, Yana's meeting with you didn't help at all, did it?"
"That's different, Yana, you came to see me, but as a consultant, I got a commission to make salt-based sauce for the club!"
"Then you should settle the fee for burning salt first."
"Hmm..." The poor girl's expression immediately became tangled: "Um, can I use plain noodles to offset it?"
"Just kidding." Li Mo suddenly laughed: "That guy has already paid."
He rubbed Yanami's head, feeling as if he were patting a dog's head with a smile: "Now that the commission has been completed, let's enjoy the rest of the training camp."
The girl slapped his hand away in dissatisfaction: "Humph, I would enjoy it even without you telling me!"
After she said this, Li Mo suddenly realized that it seemed that among his group:
He was initially concerned about Shaoyan Lemon's confession, but after discovering the time reversal, he devoted his energy to preventing Chihaya Asagumo from reversing time and destroying herself; Yuigahama Yui had been catching fireflies for several rounds, and later she even went to release fireflies as a choreography instead of himself; Yukinoshita Yukino had been troubled by the cat ears she had grown before the training camp, and in the last round, she even replaced Li Mo to give Yuigahama Yui courage in the dark, and the cat ear curse has not been lifted yet; Shaoyan Lemon put all her energy and courage into the confession, and had been in a daze before that; Gokou Ruri had to take care of her two younger sisters, and although she was not exhausted, it was still quite strenuous; Hiratsuka Shizuka was persuaded to drink a lot of wine, and it was probably wasted these past two days...
It turns out that apart from the two little ones from the Gogeng family, this guy is the only one who is really enjoying this hot spring trip. My impression of her is that she seems to be eating all the time.
"But I didn't expect that joining this strange club would actually give me the bonus of hot springs. I thought I'd never get to experience anything like that again until Dad got his paycheck back. It seems life really is like a box of chocolates. You never know whether the next one will be a chocolate heart or a hazelnut!"
Yanami was still chattering away, while Li Mo took her towards the entertainment room.
Before he even entered, he heard Ayano Mitsuki exclaim, "Asakumo-san, why are you here?"
"What happened?" Yanami ran into the room.
Li Mo, who already knew the general situation, walked slowly behind her.
In the entertainment room, Mitsuki Ayano was standing in front of the stage with a table tennis racket, looking at Chihaya Asagumo next to the vending machine at the other entrance in surprise.
Beside him was Shaoyan Lemon, who was also holding a racket. It seemed that the two newlyweds were playing billiards.
"Of course, it's because I want to buy coffee and milk." Chihaya Asagumo smiled calmly, leaned down, and took out a bottle of brown drink from the vending machine: "After soaking in the hot spring, drinking coffee and milk, isn't it the most kingly choice?"
After changing her clothes at the proprietress's place, it was naturally impossible for the girl to leave the hot spring hotel in the dark. After all, it was already quite late.
So the girl simply booked a room in the hot spring hotel, planning to take a ride from the Ministry of Magic tomorrow and go back with Li Mo and the others.
