What? Teammate lives in Arkham Asylum?

Chapter 1135 The Time Field of the Immortal Cycle

Cheng Fengniu confirmed once again that the bald man, whose beard covered his chest and who didn't have a single hair, was "Heatwave" Mick Rory, AKA Captain Cold's partner, and the most professional robber and thief in the legendary squad.

Mick Rory stared intently at the Wind Bull and the Clamped Bull, drool dripping onto his beard.

Of course, after hearing Li Chengfeng's voice, Mick Rory didn't dare to move an inch.

The psychological trauma inflicted on him by Li Chengfeng had surpassed his physical desires and hunger.

"Hey, boss's boss, even though you look like a delicious cow right now... you're inside, aren't you?"

"That's right, it's me." Cheng Fengniu didn't need to hide it; to be precise, he was here to bail out the legendary team—a group of history guardians who seemed to do nothing but cause trouble...

"Uh, okay, this is awkward." Mick Rory twitched his lips, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile.

As is well known, the Legendary Squad resolves minor historical changes by mimicking historical figures, often impersonating historical characters to complete historical events in order to correct historical shifts.

However, when dealing with minor historical changes, they often make a lot of mistakes because they are too unorthodox.

What should I do if I've made a mess of things?

Then let's create an even bigger mess, cover up the existing mess, and somehow steer history in a harmless direction.

This was also the standard of conduct that Li Chengfeng set for the Legendary Squad after he dealt with the remnants of his past self.

There's no need to restore history to perfection; just close enough is fine. As long as it's guided in a harmless direction, slight changes in details are acceptable.

After all, timelines themselves have self-healing and flexibility.

The legendary squad clearly followed this operational plan, except this time...

The mess has gotten too big, so we have to resort to sending a message across time to ask for his help.

"Let's put aside all this nonsense. Where are the others? Is Sarah with you?"

“Everyone else is lying flat on the Waverider… After we arrived here, the Waverider’s time engine exploded, creating a chaotic but constant time field here.” Lori said, tugging at her long beard. “As you can see, my body is metabolizing normally, and my beard is getting longer, but my age hasn’t continued to increase. Based on the number of sunrises and sunsets… we should have been here for about thirty years.”

"Thirty years? You've been staying near the Himalayas the whole time?"

“We can’t get out of this mountain range. Once we step out of the boundary of the time field, we will be transported to the very center of the mountain range…” Mick Rory shook his head. “During the first year we were trapped here, we were constantly going back and forth between the boundary and the mountain range… It was an unparalleled despair, except that Sarah didn’t have to suffer with us.”

The human body's normal metabolism, while seemingly operating at a normal rate, is actually at a constant point in time.

This sounds like a form of imprisonment, a punishment for those inside who are acutely aware of the passing of every minute and second of their lives, yet are condemned to eternally face this lonely "eternal cycle."

But Li Chengfeng understood that this was actually the Waverider protecting the members of these legendary teams.

"So where did Sarah go?"

“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?” Mick Rory shrugged, as if he didn’t care. In reality, he was truly at his wit’s end. “Sarah disappeared before the Waverider malfunctioned and we arrived here… The only person who might know about Sarah’s condition is currently in a coma.”

"Unconscious? Who?"

"Of course it's our dear captain's wife, Wu Fengji, the One-Punch Man supergirl."

"Were the others also unconscious?"

“We don’t deserve to be in a coma.” Mick Rory’s expression darkened. “Wu Fengji had the upper hand in her battle with the phoenix that flew from the depths of the universe, but in order to protect us, it turned into a draw… The phoenix has disappeared, and Wu Fengji is in a coma.”

"Wait, is the phoenix you're talking about the phoenix I understand?"

“Is there another Phoenix in this world?” Mick Rory pointed to his bald head. “Although I’m not highly educated, I’ve thoroughly studied all the important intelligence the FBI has given us.”

……

"Grandpa Niu, so the problems with the Himalayas were caused by your people!"

Thanos leaned close to Cheng Fengniu and whispered something.

Before Cheng Fengniu could answer, Jiazi Niu Niu, who was standing on his head in a bullfighting pose, exclaimed in her perfectly innocent loli voice, "What the hell is Grandpa Niu?!"

“Don’t worry about the little details.” Li Chengfeng nudged the trap-wearing bull with his hoof, then continued to Thanos, “You’re probably secretly overjoyed, aren’t you?”

"How could that be? I'm only worried about Grandpa Cow!"

"Ugh! A purple sweet potato spirit turned into a bucket of green tea, I feel like I'm going to throw up." The kidney-deficient shark, also perched on Wayne Shark's forehead, added, "The time-branch approach is definitely way wilder than timeline manipulation..."

The group followed Mick Rory to the very center of the Himalayas...

That is, the location of the waverider.

Upon seeing the stranded Cheng Fengniu, he suddenly remembered something.

"Mick, why are you so excited to see living things? I remember the Waverider is supposed to be able to produce most kinds of food, right?"

"That's true, but after the time engine exploded and became the constant time field that protects us now, and with most of the energy being used to maintain Wu Fengji's vital signs, the remaining energy on the Waverider can only supply the most basic functions... Do you know what it's like to only eat cereal and milk for more than 20 years? That's a memory more hellish than hell!"

"So you're going hunting?"

“Although this place is sparsely populated and has this chaotic energy field that can drive away most life forms that come here, I still want to try my luck…” Mick Rory shrugged. “Anyway, I’m just idling around, and I don’t want to become one of those guys who just lie around all day playing Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing games on the Waverider.”

With that, Mick Rory opened the cargo hold door of the Waverider.

After walking in, we turned two corners and arrived at the spacious bridge.

On the bridge, a group of people dressed in strange costumes and with a touch of madness were completely engrossed in a tabletop role-playing game.

"You've noticed a group of friendly elven girls guarding that precious crystal in the small house before you, and you've decided..."

"Why all the whining! I'll kick the door open and unleash the Holy Slayer! My oath is to protect humanity... but they aren't!"

Cheng Fengniu slapped his forehead and laughed in anger.

And he's a damn racist paladin!
