Chapter 31: The Gift

The sudden and brief devastation that occurred in North Beta Town did not stir a ripple across the campus of the First University.

On one hand, neither the Trident Sword nor the investigator from the School Works Committee had appeared at the scene of the accident; on the other hand, the privileged few high in their ivory towers rarely cast their eyes toward that magical hollow.

Of course, the main reason was that before anyone else noticed that "minor" accident, the Yellow Flowered Cat had already pulled Mr. Wu's projection from the void, and, using Zheng Qing's silver pocket watch, had turned back the time by a few minutes.

This rewind was a "selective rewind." Mr. Wu merely restored the street to its original state, and the few dead Tricksters and the vague shadow of the Outer God were not brought back to life with Mr. Wu's magic.

Every time he thought about it, Zheng Qing felt a burning sensation in his heart.
