Zhang Heng heard the sunglasses man's words, and he knew very well that there was a trap waiting for him in the camp in front of him, but his expression did not change.
He just checked the weapons and items in his hands, then stood up from behind the tree, and walked toward the four people.
But the next moment, Zhang Heng's footsteps suddenly stopped because he felt a very familiar feeling. The breeze disappeared, the leaves stopped swaying, and the rustling sound in his ears disappeared. The world fell into a strange silence, and in this silence, even the moonlight seemed to freeze.
Zhang Heng looked at the starfish on his wrist and found that there were still twelve minutes before midnight, but this time, the needle of the starfish had also stopped.
Then a familiar voice came from the left side, "We meet again."
As the voice fell, Kronos's slightly chubby figure also walked out of the shadows.
"Don't you think it's a little hypocritical to say that?" Zhang Heng said lightly.
Kronos could not help but sigh when he heard this sentence. "Remember the first time we met in the maid cafe? I knew you were a smart person at first glance. I always like to work with smart people, but now, I can't help but think, aren't you a little too smart?"
"Based on my understanding of you, you have been planning for so many years, and it's almost the last moment. You don't want any accidents to happen. So, you have been here for the past few days, monitoring my every move. It's been hard on you. There are a lot of mosquitoes here, but I don't know if they like to drink the blood of the God of Time."
"To be precise, I have been here most of the time. I did leave a few times in between to do some other things."
"What things?" Zhang Heng asked.
Instead of answering immediately, Kronos frowned, "I don't understand. You didn't accept my proposal before, and I thought you had some way to deal with the master of R 'yleh. In the end, you just ran to the deep mountains alone and lived in seclusion. But you should know that no matter where you escape, the master of R' yleh will find you. Now, you are troubled by nightmares every night. According to my observation, even without these people coming to kill you, you should only last for two more days at most. It's time to make a decision."
"How do you know I haven't made a decision yet?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.
"Are you angry with me?" Kronos sighed. "Didn't you go to Saiji to exchange blood with Cupid? Now that you have a better choice, why don't you want to cooperate with me? Compared to Cupid, we have known each other for a long time. We can be considered friends. Have I done anything to hurt you before this?"
When Zhang Heng heard this, he seemed to have thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You were the one who ambushed and injured Cupid, right?"
The look on Kronos's face became a little interesting. Zhang Heng initially thought that Kronos would deny it. After all, Zhang Heng did not have any evidence in his hands. It was just a guess, but he did not expect Kronos to admit it in the end.
"That's right. Although it was a group of New Gods who attacked in the end, I was indeed the one who planned the attack. I wanted to stop you from exchanging blood with him. I've said it before, exchanging blood is a win-win situation for both of us. Of course, I have my own selfish motives, but it makes no difference to you."
"You're wrong." Zhang Heng shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"I saved Saiji in the park before. In order to repay me, she did ask her husband, Cupid, to exchange blood with me. However, I didn't agree after that."
"You didn't agree?" This time, Kronos was really surprised. "Why?"
"Because I don't want to put my fate in the hands of others again," Zhang Heng said calmly. "No matter which god I exchange blood with, my body will become a part of his body. In other words, I will still face today's trouble."
"That's true, but you don't have a second choice now." Kronos tried to soften his tone as much as possible. "You don't want the world to be destroyed, right? If the master of R 'yleh really occupies your body, it's not just your problem. Your mother, father, and your unborn sister, don't you want them to live? And those friends of yours, the girl named Fan Meinan. You did so much to finally cure her, but in the end, everything was in vain. "
Kronos looked into Zhang Heng's eyes expectantly. "There are some risks in exchanging blood with me, but compared to the worst result, sometimes we have to take some risks, don't we? You are a rational person, and I believe you can calculate the pros and cons of this."
"Kronos," Zhang Heng interrupted the old man, but he had already turned his eyes to the camp again. "I have already answered you before. How do you know that I haven't made a choice?"
"Choice? What choice?" Kronos's eyes finally became gloomy.
Zhang Heng did not answer again. He went straight to the commander, the little girl, and the others.
"Did I really misjudge you? You can't be so stupid and arrogant, right? If you let that guy descend into your body, your soul will be crushed immediately. You have no chance of winning. Not only will you harm yourself, but you will also harm everyone, "Kronos's voice came from behind Zhang Heng.
"Thank you for your advice." Zhang Heng waved his hand, picked up the little girl from the commander's side, and turned around, only to find that Kronos still hadn't left.
"You have lost your last chance," Kronos said coldly. "You don't think that only these mortals are here to kill you today, do you?"
"Are there any other guests? Who is it? Thor, Zeus, or someone from the New God's side? "Zhang Heng walked towards the cave with the little girl in his arms.
"It's not just one god who is here to kill you tonight. The gods will never allow the master of R 'yleh to escape from the city under the ice. For this matter, the New God and the Old God can even temporarily put aside their conflict," Kronos said. "They're already here. Do you think I'm stopping time just to catch up with you? I'm your only chance to escape, and they already know that you have the ability to stop time that I gave you. They've made arrangements in advance, and it will take effect at midnight. You won't have an extra 24 hours tonight."
"Then it seems that I can only rely on myself."
After Zhang Heng finished his last sentence, he ignored the livid Kronos and walked into the darkness without looking back.
