Chapter 239: The time and space that cannot be returned, the sorrow of the little people
He still remembered that two years ago, a wooden coffin made of similar material appeared on the river.
It was also a black coffin.
But although they are very similar, they are not the same. They should be of the same category and material.
The next second, Su Mu folded his arms in front of his chest and said to the black coffin in front of him: "Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black coffin was opened and a man climbed out of the coffin.
He was wearing a black robe, his skin was purple-black, there were two silver fleshy horns on his forehead, his face was gloomy, his eye sockets were deep, and his pupils were deep with a little black light constantly flowing in them.
After seeing Su Mu, the man in black robe felt nervous and his breathing became a little disordered.
"You are the one sneaking across?"
Su Mu stared at the man in black robe and questioned.
As soon as these words came out, the black-robed man was shocked. Being questioned in such a superior manner, he felt a little uncomfortable because he was the one who questioned others. However, under the pressure, he slowly replied, "It was indeed my fault."
"I hope you will forgive me, Senior."
He used his clone to go back to the past against the flow of time, but he was afraid of being noticed, which would cause the assassination to fail, so he chose to sneak away.
Because he had heard long ago that an extremely powerful river guardian had come to the Long River of Time, so to avoid accidents, smuggling was the safest, but also the most dangerous way.
"One steal, ten penalties."
Su Mu would not listen to these meaningless apologies. Just an apology for smuggling once is enough?
If this gets out, won't everyone come here to sneak in?
Therefore, we must punish ten times the amount of a theft to serve as a warning to others and serve as a deterrent.
Hearing this, the man in black robe was also stunned. A fine of ten?
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you need to pay ten times the toll." Su Mu added, "If you hand over the things openly, I won't make things difficult for you. Why do you have to do these sneaky things?"
Hearing this, the man in black robe was also stunned. Crossing the river by himself has involved many causes and effects. Is it really true that he only needs to pay the toll? ?
"I treat everyone who crosses the river equally, regardless of gender, age or status. It is absolutely fair."
"As long as you can afford the toll, I will let you cross."
After hearing what Su Mu said, the man in black robe was stunned as if he had been hit hard, and he stood there in a daze.
If I had known it was so simple, why would I have gone through so much trouble to plan it?
If I had crossed the river openly, Huang would have been eliminated by me long ago.
Now, not only did he fail to get rid of Huang, he even indirectly helped him grow, and his clone was caught back in the river of time. He was a complete failure!
The man in black robe began to search for his treasures, because the purpose of his trip was to get rid of Huang who had not yet grown up, and he did not have any treasures with him, so if he was asked to pay ten times the crossing fee, he really could not afford it!
After searching for a long time, he only found two or three treasures worth showing off, a bronze mirror, a jade pendant, and a talisman.
After taking the three magic weapons, Su Mu looked at them and confirmed that they were treasures, so he took them away: "There are still seven missing."
Hearing this, the black-robed man smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, you can see that this body of mine is just a clone and I didn't bring any treasures with me. Can I keep the other seven items first?"
Of course Su Mu could see the other party's embarrassment, so he just waited for him to say this.
He had already drafted the debt contract and handed it directly to the black-robed man, saying, "Press the blood seal."
The man in black robe said, "Senior, I guarantee with my personality that I will definitely pay it back. Can you not press this button?"
Hearing this, Su Mu sneered and said, "No, this is the rule. We can't break the rule just because of you. Besides, what I don't believe in the most is personal guarantee."
In his previous life, he had a childhood friend who was a gambler. He always kept saying that he had a "personal guarantee" and would pay it back next month.
Under Su Mu's coercion, he, the ancestor of a great generation, was forced to press the bloody handprint. He never expected that there would be such a day for him.
After signing the debt contract, Su Mu put it away. "Okay, you can go now. Go back to where you came from. Don't hang around on the river."
Su Mu waved at the man in black robe.
"Senior, can I ask you for a favor?" The man in black robe thought of a perfect idea.
If he could get help from this man, he could kill Huang with a wave of his hand. For him, guarding the long river of time and killing Huang is just a matter of waving his hand, and it will not be affected by any cause and effect.
"After the matter is accomplished, next time, I will come in person and bring a valuable gift to repay you, senior." The man in black robe clasped his fists towards Su Mu.
Hearing this, Su Mu waved his hand without any hesitation and said, "I never interfere in the affairs of anyone crossing the river. Go away."
Over the years, many people have sought his help, wanting him to avenge them, hunt them down or something like that, but Su Mu refused them all.
Su Mu’s idea was very simple. He just wanted to maintain order on the river, earn enough favor points as soon as possible, and leave this hellhole.
"Senior. I"
"What do you mean by you? I'm not targeting you, I'm not helping anyone."
"Leave quickly."
Seeing that Su Mu's tone became impatient, the man in black robe urged the black coffin under his feet to go downstream and soon disappeared at the end of the river.
After seeing off the man in black robe.
Ye Fan, Wu Shi and others appeared in the long river of time again. They were ready to return to their own time and space.
When Su Mu, who was patrolling the river, saw Ye Fan and others passing by, he shouted to the three of them: "Hey, hey, hey, stop."
Ye Fan turned around with a puzzled look on his face and asked: "What's wrong, Senior?"
"Pay the money. Why are you still so reckless and don't know the rules?" Su Mu lectured Ye Fan.
Hearing this, Ye Fan widened his eyes, with an incredible look on his face: "Senior, didn't I teach you before?"
"You pay each time you pass." Su Mu explained.
"Ah?" Ye Fan opened his mouth wide.
"Just keep a record of it first, and remember to pay it back next time, along with the previous payment."
Of course Su Mu knew that the other party could not produce the treasure, but the rules could not be broken.
"Thank you for your help, senior." The ruthless person didn't care about these treasures. On the contrary, she was very grateful to Su Mu.
If Su Mu hadn't taken action, not only would the rescue have failed, but his own life would have been in danger.
Su Mu knew what it was, so he waved his hand and said, "That person broke the rules and sneaked across the river, so I took action."
Wu Shi also clasped his fists towards Su Mu and expressed his gratitude.
Ye Fan was just a little bit sarcastic, but in his heart he was also very grateful to Su Mu for his help.
"Go back, I have to keep busy."
Su Mu waved at the three of them.
"If you are free, you can come to Beidou as a guest. I will pay you back in full and treat you well."
Ye Fan clasped his fists towards Su Mu.
