Chapter 65 - Are you a fool? (2/2)

Why does he care what I do? I feel angry. ”It's my body. I will do what I want.”

”You have no will to live.” He unsheaths his sword. ”Then, I should separate that head from that neck.”

He really doesn't feel any love for me. The timekeeper wants to kill me. He wants to kill me. I have had enough. ”Go ahead.”

The tip of the blade is almost touching my throat. ”You are surrendering to me now?”

I stare at the timekeeper who has finally made his presence known. ”If you could kill me, I would be dead by now.”

The tip of the sword sinks into my skin. ”I don't know whether to pity you or admire your extraordinary luck. You turned your body into the time prison. Wasn't it better to die and reborn in a normal body?”

Time prison? I don't remember doing that. ”How did I turn my body into time prison? I thought that only the timekeepers could make it.”

”Traveler, time crystal is also used to build a time prison.” He tells me bitterly, ”The extract of the time crystal plant is an important ingredient when time prisons are built. You must have come in contact with it.”

I recall the details. ”Does it look like purple smoke?”

”So, you did come in contact with it. The time crystal inside your body reacted to it.” He puts away the sword. ”I should have killed you back then. Because of Wu Yixing, I didn't make a move. It's a hassle to kill you in front of other people.”

He wants to kill me quietly. Like Kang Si An never figured out that it was his hand that held the dagger to kill me, he doesn't want Li Jun to know either. That's some difficult work. I feel bad for my timekeeper.

”Will I remain like this forever?” I should try to get more information out of him. He is also using his minutes. It is better if he spends more.

He looks at me with annoyance. ”Time prison keeps a traveler in a frozen state until the correct time is reached. Usually, the traveler is in unconscious state inside the time prison. I have not heard of a case where the body of the traveler became the time prison. You are likely to remain like this until your correct time is reached.”

He adds, ”No antidote can help you. When the time crystal starts ticking again, your time will start moving. Until then, you cannot be killed. I will see you when you correct time is reached. Keep wandering in this sorry state until then.”

”Wait...” He is gone before I can ask more questions. Tch! It's bȧrėly five minutes.

Li Jun rubs his eyes. ”Did I fall asleep?”

”Yes, you did.” What can I say? Your alter ego came out and we had a chat. He went away because he couldn't kill me. I can't die until my correct time is reached. I am supposed to live like this for more than a thousand years?

All I wanted was to change my fate. I didn't ask for the near immortal life.
