"And that's how I became a wanted man," Martin said helplessly. "If I had just surrendered back then, I probably wouldn't have a bounty on my head. But my mind was a complete blur; I'd lost all reason."
Mo Ling was stunned by his story.
"What was that button you used to escape? Something that can transport a person that far has to be a powerful relic, right? Why would they just leave it lying around in a relic warehouse?"
Martin thought for a moment, then answered, "That thing is called the 'Earth Emergency Stop Button.' For the price of a small blood scab, it lets you experience the sensation of Earth's rotation coming to a halt."
"Earth's rotation stopping?" Mo Ling was even more confused.
"Yes, but its actual function is to make the user stationary relative to Earth, effectively detaching you from its rotation. By the time the planet spun around, I was already in Bangkok," Martin explained.
