After escaping from the Time-Space Crevice, Lin Mo, Su Yuqing, and the old professor were physically and mentally exhausted. However, they knew that time was of the essence and could not afford to be complacent. Once back in the real world, the old professor, due to his advanced age and the harrowing experience they had just endured, was feeling unwell. Lin Mo and Su Yuqing decided to take him home to rest.
Returning to the Archaeological Research Institute, they found the place in disarray after the previous attack by the men in black. With no time to clean up, they headed straight to the area where ancient texts were stored, hoping to find new clues from their earlier research.
While sorting through the materials, Su Yuqing discovered a previously overlooked notebook. The notes contained details about ancient sacrificial rituals, with some of the processes and symbols mentioned resembling what they had seen in the ruins. Excitedly, Su Yuqing showed the notebook to Lin Mo, and they began to study it closely.
As their research deepened, they realized that these sacrificial rituals seemed closely linked to the manipulation of Time-Space Power. In ancient times, only families with special bloodlines could participate in these rituals. Lin Mo suddenly recalled Su Yuqing's past life when he had traveled back in time; her family had guarded secrets about time and space for generations. Perhaps this family was related to the special families involved in the sacrificial rituals.
"If that's true, we might find more clues from this family's history," Lin Mo said, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
To explore this family's history, Su Yuqing utilized the resources of the Archaeological Research Institute and reviewed a vast amount of historical documents and materials. After days and nights of effort, they finally uncovered some records about this family.
It turned out that this family had been a powerful clan thousands of years ago, possessing mysterious Time-Space Power. However, due to a catastrophic disaster, the family gradually declined, and their lineage became sporadic. This disaster seemed connected to the Mysterious Organization's past attempts to control time and space.
The records also mentioned a mysterious location known as the Time Eye. It was said that the Time Eye was at the core of the Time-Space Rift and was key to controlling Time-Space Power. Only those with special bloodlines and specific conditions could enter the Time Eye. Lin Mo speculated that the Curse Pattern on his forehead might be one of the conditions for entering it.
"If we can find the Time Eye, we might be able to lift your curse and stop the Mysterious Organization's plot," Su Yuqing said.
Lin Mo nodded but understood that finding the Time Eye would not be easy. Not only was its exact location unknown, but even if they found it, they did not know what dangers awaited them. Yet for the sake of saving the world and lifting his curse, he felt no hesitation.
Just as they were preparing to further investigate clues about the Time Eye, Lin Mo suddenly received a mysterious text message. It contained only one sentence: "If you want to find the Time Eye, come alone to the abandoned factory; otherwise, everyone around you will die." Lin Mo's heart sank; he knew this was undoubtedly a trap set by the Mysterious Organization, but he could not ignore Su Yuqing's safety or that of others.
Lin Mo decided to go alone to the abandoned factory without informing Su Yuqing. He left a note briefly explaining his situation and quietly slipped out of the Archaeological Research Institute under cover of night.
When Lin Mo arrived at the abandoned factory, it was pitch black inside, eerily silent. He cautiously entered, keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings. Suddenly, a bright light shone on him, causing him to instinctively shield his eyes with his hand.
"You've finally arrived, Lin Mo," a familiar voice echoed— it was the man in black.
Lin Mo lowered his hand and took in his surroundings. The man in black stood among a group of similarly clad individuals; behind them loomed a massive Gears structure that flickered with strange light as if resonating with Time-Space Power.
"What scheme are you plotting now?" Lin Mo asked coldly.
The man in black chuckled: "Our goal is simple: we want to use you to enter the Time Eye. Did you think you could stop us? How naive. Every move you make is under our control. From the moment you gained your ability to traverse time, you were destined to become our pawn."
Lin Mo felt a heavy weight settle in his heart; he hadn’t realized he had been manipulated by the Mysterious Organization all along. But instead of panicking, he calmly asked, "Why are you so obsessed with the Time Eye?"
A greedy glint appeared in the man's eyes: "The Time Eye contains boundless power; once we control it, we can alter history at will and become masters of this world!"
Lin Mo scoffed: "Aren't you afraid that changing history will lead to irreversible consequences?"
"Consequences? In front of absolute power, consequences are trivial," replied the man dismissively.
At that moment, Lin Mo heard faint footsteps approaching. A thought crossed his mind—perhaps Su Yuqing had followed him. He couldn't let her fall into danger; thus he deliberately raised his voice: "Don't get cocky! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"
The man in black darkened his expression. "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. Attack!" The black-clad figures immediately charged towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo focused his mind and engaged in combat with the attackers. He realized that after several previous battles, both his fighting skills and mastery over Time-Space Power had significantly improved. Although there were many opponents, he found himself holding his ground.
During the fight, Lin Mo gradually moved closer to the enormous Gears behind the man in black. He noticed that this Gears seemed to be designed to channel and amplify Time-Space Power; if activated, the consequences would be dire. He decided to destroy the Gears first to thwart the Mysterious Organization's plot.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Mo exerted all his strength and charged towards the Gears. The man in black quickly recognized his intent and personally intervened to block him. Lin Mo and the man in black engaged in a fierce duel, exchanging blows with immense power behind each strike.
Just as Lin Mo was locked in a heated battle with the man in black, Su Yuqing suddenly appeared. She had discovered a note left by Lin Mo and, unable to shake off her worries, had secretly followed him.
"Lin Mo, I'm here to help you!" Su Yuqing shouted.
Lin Mo felt a surge of urgency. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous! You need to leave!"
But Su Yuqing did not back down; she picked up a metal rod from the ground and joined the fight. With her assistance, Lin Mo felt a significant reduction in pressure, and they gradually gained the upper hand.
Seeing the situation turning against him, the man in black attempted to activate the Gears. Quick as lightning, Lin Mo hurled a stone at the Gears. The stone struck precisely at its core, causing a violent explosion that reduced it to a pile of scrap metal.
Furious at their interference, the man in black shouted, "You've ruined my plans! You will both die!" With that, he recklessly charged at Lin Mo and Su Yuqing.
In that critical moment, Lin Mo suddenly felt a familiar power surging from within him. The Striation on his forehead glowed brightly, and time around them seemed to freeze. Taking advantage of this brief stillness, Lin Mo swiftly led Su Yuqing away from the abandoned factory.
Once they escaped outside, time resumed its normal flow. Lin Mo and Su Yuqing gasped for breath as they looked at each other, filled with relief at having survived.
Through this battle, Lin Mo and Su Yuqing understood more clearly that their fates were intertwined with stopping the Mysterious Organization's schemes. The Time Eye, as the key to unraveling all mysteries, strengthened their resolve to continue searching. However, they also knew that the Mysterious Organization would not give up easily; greater challenges awaited them in the future.
