Chapter 50 - I should die here (1/2)

It's over before it begins. Their bodies are torn apart by the vines. They didn't even have the time to use the spray. The flesh is absorbed by the vines, leaving only the bones. I hear the same laughter. I take a deep breath. It knows that I am here.

I walk into the room of bones. The vines are waggling in all the direction. The time crystal flower is a shimmering beauty. The flower is as big as a fat toddler. The time crystal plant is slightly tilted to the right because of the weight. I can't see it, but I can feel its smugness.

'You come as an anomaly.'

Ah! It won't let me go this time. ”Do you want to eat me this time?”

'You should have followed your destiny.'

I don't make any movement toward the daggers lying on the pile of the bones. The time crystal plant is observing me. It will rip me apart before I make a move. I walk toward it fearlessly.

”I am tired.” I stand in front of it. The stem resembles human flesh more than a plant. ”What's the point of all this suffering? Rather than killed by someone I love, I should die here.”

'Excellent decision.' It smiles at me. 'I will take your entire essence. I will give your soul to my child. My child will grow powerful if it absorbs a time-traveler's soul.'

The parent wants my flesh. The child needs my soul. I close my eyes and wraps my arms around it. I feel it suċkɨnġ my flesh and my soul. I hear it squeal in happiness. It is already full after eating two humans. It is savoring the time while absorbing me. At the same time, I let my mind fall into its mind. As I thought, walking into dreams and minds are two different abilities. I used them both at the same time on my brother. So, I thought that they were the same. When I used it on Kang Si An, I didn't enter his dream. I was led into his mind directly.

The timekeeper knows about me more than I do.

A human mind is different from a plant's mind. This creature is thousands of years old, but its mind is smaller than I expected it to be. The black space is full of hunger and evil intentions. I see fragments of memories of it absorbing human fleshes. It's unaffected by the change in timeline. Instead, it grows more powerful when the travelers turn back time. It's not the same for the child flower.
