Chapter 13: The Lord of Time and the Faceless One
"Looks, looks? It's hard to describe, he's like, like a ball of ink or something?"
He tried to describe the Faceless One, but found that he couldn't describe it with his own poor words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When Charlotte racked her brains to say the above words, sure enough, all of them, including Evan and the Eye of Time, let out questioning voices of 'huh?'.
"Anyway, it's probably like ink and can't see clearly, and in a white robe, I think it's a professional like a spellcaster...... Probably!"
Not to mention Evan and the Eye of Time, even Charlotte herself would have a feeling of - what the hell is this talking about.
But I can't describe it in more detail, because I really can't see his face through the fog.
Evan remembered earnestly for a moment, and then, shaking his head at Charlotte's disappointed look.
"I swear I don't have any memories of the Faceless One! I don't even know what he looks like, doesn't that person have a face? Eye of Time! Do you have any impressions of the Faceless One?"
"The contemptible people also have no such memory. The contemptible swore that in the impression of the contemptible people, there was no one called the faceless one among the famous powerhouses of that era. ”
When Evan asked about the Eye of Time, the pocket watch quickly and solemnly replied.
Could it be that there was something wrong with her memory? Hearing the unanimous answers of Evan and the Eye of Time, Charlotte couldn't help but have such doubts.
"Moreover, you say that what you see is a cloud of ink? How is this possible? If you see the world through the perspective of Master Lu Sien, then how can you see a cloud of ink? The contemptible person can tell you very clearly that there is no existence in this world that Master Lu Sien cannot see!"
The Eye of Time scoffed at Charlotte's claims, and it seemed that he didn't believe in the Faceless Ones in the world.
"However, I did only see a cloud of ink in Lu Sien's memory! Let me think about it, the first time it seemed to be on the reckless battlefield, I, no, it should be said that Lu Sien was holding a girl, and the battlefield was full of the corpses of gods and giants, and at that time Lu Sien roared loudly and used magic energy to force out the Faceless One! And the second time, in a small room, Lu Sien, Eagle and the little girl who looked like Sylvia as a child got together. As the little girl exited the door, I could clearly see a cloud of ink bowing to the little girl!"
Charlotte retorted unhappily, after all, it was a memory that he had personally experienced, even if that memory was false, he didn't want to be recognized as deception by the other party in the current candid communication.
In that battle, the contemptible man was by Lu Sien's master's side throughout the whole process, helping him win victory and glory! Although the final outcome was unpleasant, it was the master who won the victory. After that, the contemptible man and the master of Lu Sien took ......"
The Eye of Time first said the above in an old and disdainful voice, and then, his voice froze, and the prototype pocket watch jumped on the desk, and even the hands inside clicked, moving around as quickly as if it had been played by some invisible hand.
And he took ...... Why, what's going on? Could it be that the contemptible and the master of Lu Sien just went back? I always felt as if some important information had been missed...... Has the memory of the contemptible been tampered with?"
The words of the Eye of Time caused both Charlotte and Evan to exclaim, and as they looked at the Eye of Time, which was constantly beating its hands due to the confusion, a chill gradually spread to all the limbs.
Who is the Faceless? Is he so powerful that he can easily tamper with the memory of the Root Proof? Why would he do this? What important information does he want to hide? Why doesn't there be any memory of the Faceless except Charlotte, including Evan and the Eye of Time?
Charlotte felt like a butterfly caught in the web of fate, the more he struggled, the tighter the net entwined him, and like a soulless marionette dancing to the end of the rope to their heart's content, to the liking of Lynn or the Faceless One.
Charlotte felt dizzy, and after exchanging information with Aven, she found that the closer she got to the truth, the more chaotic things became. After Lu Sien, another mysterious person weighed on Charlotte's heart, who was he, what kind of relationship did he have with Lu Sien, and why was he the only one who could realize his existence? The puzzle was like a heavy mountain, overwhelming people.
Time passed minute by minute, and after realizing that the few people couldn't discuss the relevant information at all, Evan interrupted the heavy silence.
"Maybe you need to rest, Charlotte. You can get a good night's sleep first, we'll skip this issue for now, and we'll discuss it when we have more information. The point is the issue of Vivien Leigh's death, and in my experience, it should be less than three days away. Early tomorrow morning, we will discuss a plan of action. ”
"No, I'm fine! I'm just a little bored, Lu Sien has already annoyed me enough, and now there is another faceless one...... Forget it, let's not talk about that for now, the question about Vivien Leigh is imminent, in fact, I don't know if you know about it. When I entered Lucerne, a strange spellcaster mentioned to me that the Annihilation Society and the Forest of Illusions had come to the city, and I wondered if Vivien Leigh's death had something to do with those two organizations?"
Seeing Charlotte's insistence on talking about this topic, Aven, who had experienced several deaths of Vivien Leigh, immediately entered the state. He groped his chin slightly and shook his head slightly.
"Of course I know this information, but to be honest, I don't think Vivien Leigh's death should have anything to do with them. While I've been with Vivien Leigh and Edie in the previous Worldlines, I've always felt like they weren't the ones who did it. Although they are crazy, they are not arrogant enough to assassinate Princess Erossa. ”
"And what do you think was the cause of Vivien Leigh's death?"
In the letter that Evan wrote to himself, there was no mention of the cause of Vivien Leigh's death, only that it was a shameful murder.
"That's what's really strange! Both Bishop Inigo of the Church of Justice and the physicians in the family judged Vivien Leigh to have died a natural death. In short, in the night three days later, Vivien Leigh would suddenly lose her life. There was no poisoning and no wounds on the body. I used to watch over her all night, even checking every food for toxins, but ...... None of them! Everything was as normal as ever. ”
"Normal death!?How is it possible!?With Fei Wenli's ability and physical condition, how can it be possible to die normally!"
Hearing this, Charlotte finally couldn't help but exclaim. He finally understood why his brother would write to him, even at the expense of revealing his secret. Such a strange way of dying really makes it impossible to find any clues.
"Is it possible that a curse or something?"
Thinking that some soul-based spell curses could also quietly take a person's life, Charlotte immediately asked Aven.
"I don't know, but as far as I know, there shouldn't be...... So, that's what makes me feel clueless. ”
Evan rubbed his eyebrows, it seemed that he had broken his mind for this matter.
"I still think that this matter is inseparable from the Forest of Illusions and the annihilation of all things. Leaving aside the Annihilation Society for the time being, I have looked through the literature and suspected that the Forest of Illusions is inextricably linked to the witches of the Annihilation Crisis. Do you remember the scene where the witch on the walls of the Endless Corridor used a spell? If that ability were there, I think it would be possible to make people die quietly. ”
Charlotte presented her reasoning to Aven, and although there was no evidence, judging from the effect, it was true that only the magic power that could resemble a witch could make a person die silently and without warning.
"Well, while what you said makes a lot of sense, I always find it a little unreasonable in terms of motivation. Anyway, since we don't have a clue right now, let's start with those guys for now, and tomorrow I'll summon the city guard and the bishop of the Just Church to find out what they want to know about those madmen. ”
"Well, please, if we find anything wrong with the situation, or if we find any other clues, we'll exchange information right away. Then it's up to you to go back in time and solve the incident immediately. ”
"I see! But, Charlotte. I must remind you that we don't have much to do. Every time I go back in time, it takes a lot of energy, and the time of the backtracking will also move towards the point of death. In other words, if you do it with a blind mindset, everything may be irreparable, or even worse. ”
Before ending the conversation, Evan raised his concerns with a solemn expression, thinking that this was why he called Charlotte in that way.
His words confirmed Charlotte's long-held suspicion that time and space regression is not omnipotent, and that the world line will move forward with its inertia. And the more they try to deceive the plane, the more the plane will retaliate in an unexpected way, which is also reflected in two incidents when he was a child.
Evan's space-time reset ability has its huge limitations, but what about her own? Charlotte didn't even know if her space-time reset was actually passively triggered by death, or if someone else happened to have activated the space-time rewind spell at that point in time. As a result, he and Evan must find key points in a limited number of rounds.
Moreover, Charlotte did not dare to delve into the more fearful question.
That is, in the previous two incidents, did he really succeed in defrauding the time and space and the root, or was this Fei Wen Leigh's death a punishment for playing with time and space with himself and Aven......
