“What?” Mo Yi hurriedly walked over to Mo Shao’s side.
“You mean, I’ve been missing for two days?”
“Yeah.” Mo Shao nodded somewhat puzzledly when he heard Mo Yi’s question, wondering what was going on with this person, how could he not know how long he had been gone.
But surprisingly, Mo Yi really didn’t know. The thought of his partner, Bai Ren, searching everywhere for him anxiously filled Mo Yi with a strong sense of guilt.
He quickly asked the person next to him, “And now? Where is Bai Ren?”
Before Mo Shao could speak, Rose behind the bar answered first, “That guest is upstairs, in room 6. Here, this is the spare key.”
With that, the landlady handed the key to Mo Yi. As his benefactor, coupled with the obvious and intimate concern between the two, Rose felt it was absolutely fine to give the key to Mo Yi.
Taking the key, Mo Yi thanked her and quickly left for upstairs.
Standing at the door, Mo Yi took a deep breath, feeling inevitably nervous holding the key in his hand. He thought about how he would explain his whereabouts these past two days to his partner when they met.
But before he could insert his key into the lock, the door in front of him clicked open.
Looking at the door crack in front of him, Mo Yi knew that Bai Ren must have opened it.
Pushing the door cautiously, Mo Yi saw the man sitting in the chair staring at him with a stern expression. Even though sitting down would lower his height, Mo Yi inexplicably felt like he was being looked down upon.
After closing the door behind him, Mo Yi nervously chuckled a few times, and for a moment, the atmosphere became awkward to the point of freezing.
“Hi, Bai Ren…”
Stiffly greeting, Mo Yi knew he had made a particularly terrible opening remark, but the key was that he simply didn’t have a more natural and better way to start.
The next moment, the man stood up, still wearing that dark robe, but he seemed to have grown slightly in size.
From beneath the man’s robe, several silver-grey tentacles suddenly extended and bound Mo Yi, lifting him up and presenting him in front of Bai Ren.
“Mortal!”
The man’s expression was calm, but Mo Yi inexplicably sensed a hint of bitterness in his voice.
Meanwhile, Hastur, now Bai Ren, felt his anger nearly overflowing. God knew how panicked and fearful he had been when he discovered that his little follower had suddenly disappeared. He had never experienced such emotions from the depths of his heart.
What made it even more unacceptable was that this guy had voluntarily come to follow him, and Bai Ren still remembered his persuasive words vividly. How could he disappear without a trace with just a turn of his head, without even leaving an excuse?

No one, absolutely no one, could make him wait like this!
The man was furious, but the moment he felt Mo Yi standing at the door, the joy that erupted from the depths of his heart made it impossible for him to ignore.
Before this, he had silently vowed to himself that once he caught this missing person, he would punish him severely.
But now, with Mo Yi’s return, Bai Ren bound him with his tentacles, intimidating him, making him feel his power and might. Yet, apart from that, he also felt a sense of helplessness.
He was born in darkness, disdainful of life, disdainful of everything. He had witnessed countless killings and devourings in the dark world, understood all kinds of cruelty, but when faced with Mo Yi, he couldn’t bring himself to think of any of those cruel acts and apply them to this person.
It must be because humans were too fragile…
Bai Ren thought to himself.
A little force, and they would be hurted. Unlike those dark creatures, other races, and gods, who could withstand it.
But he dared to leave himself so recklessly, so he should be taught a lesson.
With that in mind, Bai Ren’s eyes stared straight at Mo Yi, who was tied up like a riceball.
Mo Yi, who was already very familiar with being lifted up by tentacles in mid-air, immediately begged for mercy, “Bai Ren, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!”
He also understood that his partner was genuinely angry. If it were him, suddenly unable to find someone, he would definitely panic and perhaps even start to have wild thoughts.
Although he still couldn’t understand what was going on in this small world, why time would reverse at the beginning, what his lover’s true identity was, he inherently trusted his partner.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, why not just tell the truth!
With that in mind, Mo Yi looked resolutely at Bai Ren and began, “Actually, I didn’t want to leave, it’s because…”
What’s going on!
Mo Yi was startled and quickly spoke again.
“Bai Ren, I wouldn’t just leave without saying anything, it’s because…”
“How could this be, I can’t say it, I can’t say it!”
Mo Yi was so anxious that he was breaking out in cold sweat. He really wanted to tell his partner the truth about his time travel.
“006, what’s going on, why can’t I say it! 006!”
Mo Yi anxiously called out to the system, but for some reason, 006 didn’t respond to him immediately this time.
And at this moment, Bai Ren also sensed Mo Yi’s anomaly, pulled him closer, pinched his chin to make him look directly at himself.
Then, Bai Ren got a teary-eyed Mo Yi.
Unable to bear seeing Mo Yi like this, Bai Ren furrowed his brow and let go of his hand, feeling particularly uncomfortable seeing the bruise left on Mo Yi’s chin.
Indeed, humans are fragile.
“What do you want to tell me?” the man asked.
“I, I want to say, but I can’t!” Mo Yi felt so wronged. He originally wanted to tell his partner, thinking that maybe his partner could give him some advice.
But now, what’s happening? Why couldn’t he say it at all?
Mo Yi really couldn’t figure out the reason, but to the man, it sounded like something else. Could it be that some unknown power controlled his little follower, causing him to leave for so long?
Who could it be, to have such a power, to prevent him from telling his own experiences too!
Thinking of this, Bai Ren quickly released a tangible black mist, enveloping Mo Yi, examining his condition. He wanted to touch this human’s heart with his power as he did in the past.
Feel his emotions, even his past sins. However, he found that he couldn’t do it.
The man’s soul seemed to be covered with a protective shell, even his divine power couldn’t penetrate. Afraid of using brute force and hurting Mo Yi, Bai Ren had to give up.
But then, when he tried to withdraw his probing smoke, he found that Mo Yi was secretly absorbing his power.
No, not Mo Yi, but something on his body.
It was done quietly because Bai Ren found that he couldn’t even sense it. It was because his mist was visible, which made him aware of it.
Looking at Mo Yi’s chest, Bai Ren reached out and pulled out a black circular pendant from Mo Yi’s neckline.
Bai Ren had never seen this strange thing before, but for some reason, the power here seemed to be particularly compatible with him. But just as he reached out to touch the pendant, he was suddenly scorched and couldn’t touch it.
“What is this?”
Mo Yi also noticed Bai Ren’s actions and quickly shook his head, saying, “No, you can’t take it away. With this, I can find you!”
In this world, to travel through time, one must use this pendant. This was the only thing Mo Yi knew.
Somehow, Bai Ren had a premonition that he better not continue to touch this pendant.
So he withdrew his hand, gazing at Mo Yi in front of him. Slowly retracting his tendrils from Mo Yi’s body, he placed him on the ground.
Seeing that Mo Yi was not lying, indeed, some unknown force had intervened. Whether it was the soul wrapped in barriers or this pendant, it seemed to indicate this.
Could it be that this world wasn’t actually left with only himself as a god, but others existed, and he just hadn’t discovered them?
The unknown made the man feel very uncomfortable, especially when he found that he couldn’t break through that barrier and change Mo Yi’s current situation.
But at the same time, he also felt a strong emotion for Mo Yi.
So, this person really came for him!
And he even said that only with that pendant could he find himself. Did that mean he did something in exchange for it, just to get that pendant?
At the thought of this, Bai Ren felt as if a warm current surged in his chest. The changes brought about by this emotion were miraculous.
This mortal must be his most faithful follower.
What did Mo Yi experience during the days he disappeared? Was he bullied, hurt?
Who was the person who imprisoned Mo Yi, or what was it?
The thought that Mo Yi might have suffered in unseen places during these two days filled Bai Ren’s heart with pain.
He couldn’t stop it, this was his duty as a god worshipped by faith.
But even so, his little follower still found him and chose him without hesitation. How loyal!
“I bestow my blessing upon you.”
The man lightly tapped Mo Yi’s forehead, infusing him with his divine power.
He wasn’t like those gods representing happiness and hope. All he could give to Mo Yi was power, even if this power was born from darkness.
Bai Ren left his own mark on Mo Yi’s body. This way, if any other gods tried to approach or harm him, he could directly sense it.
Regardless, he was determined to do everything in his power to protect him!
