Step back in time

Hoffa was silent. It is true that he knows that the wizards of this world have the ability to disrupt the rules of time. In the original book, Harry Potter, fifty years later, used a time turner in the third grade to save his godfather Sirius.

But reading a story and experiencing time confusion are two different experiences entirely. He had gone back two days long beyond Harry's time, and without the help of a time turner.

He wanted to ask something more.

But there was a light bump on the shoulder, and when she turned her head, Chloe put her head on her shoulder, and suddenly opened her mouth to spit out a puddle of bitter water.

The sudden arrival made Hoffa sick, and he quickly stood up sideways.

"What for!?"

"I can't see"

With that, Chloe fell to the ground with white lips.

"Hey, hey!"

At this moment, Hoffa ignored the surprised eyes of passers-by and quickly pulled her up, but she seemed to be unable to walk.

Touching the other party's forehead, he secretly said that it was bad, this guy was probably overconsumed and fell into a symptom similar to hypoglycemia.

Looking at her pale face, and thinking of her silver-white eyes not long ago, Hoffa couldn't help but shudder. What is the identity of this paralyzed guy next to him, who has such a terrible ability.

There were thousands of doubts in his heart, but if he wanted to get the answer to the question, he had to cure this guy first.

Determined, Hoffa put Chloe's arm on his shoulder, intending to take her to a nearby hospital.

But as soon as he took a step, suddenly, there was a tearing pain in his arm, as if someone had cut himself with a utility knife.

He quickly rolled up his sleeves.

I saw a transparent spot the size of a finger appear at the position of my wrist, and through the spot, I could see the varicose veins in my body clearly, and even the telephone pole across the street through it. When you reach out and touch it, the spots feel hard to the touch. It was as if someone had replaced the piece of flesh and bone on his wrist with glass.

"What the hell"

Hoffa looked at the transparent spot on his wrist, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

He lowered his sleeves and picked Chloe up sideways. He strode towards the surrounding hospitals, and within a few steps, Chloe's debilitating voice sounded from her arms.

"Don't go to the hospital"

"Don't go to the hospital"

"My mother is Jewish, so just eat something. ”

The nun whispered.

Hoffa was awe-inspiring, and in the age of the whole people's anti-Semidah, sending her to the hospital was no different from pushing into a fire pit.

He immediately shut up and left to change direction. Picking up the path twisted around. It didn't take long for him to find a café deep in the alley and hug Chloe inside.

The waitress at the café was almost dumbfounded when she saw Hoffa running into the store with a girl who was almost unconscious.

Hoffa found a corner spot to settle Chloe, and walked briskly around the bar.

Waiter: "She"

"Don't ask, two caramel cappuccinos. Hoffa said.

The clerk's eyes were still suspicious of Chloe in the corner, but she was still a little professional, and quickly made the drink that Hoffa needed.

By the time Hoffa brought back the hot drink, the nun was already leaning back in her chair, muttering in a daze.

She couldn't hear what Hoffa said, there was no way, he could only hold the cup and put the drink to her mouth, fortunately, she still had some consciousness left and could eat on her own.

After feeding for a while, Chloe's face slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Thank you." ”

Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his place, his face gradually solemn: "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Explain what?"

The nun said with a pale face.

"Everything. Explain how I came to this time, for Merlin's sake, there are two mes at this time, so what am I, is all this real or illusory, what is your identity, why are those ** wizards tracking you, and"

Huo Fa couldn't stop talking very fast, eager to say hundreds of words a second.

"Can you please let me eat something first," the nun choked back with a feeble remark.

He got up and went back to the counter and ordered everything he could see.

Three minutes later, the waiter at the coffee shop brought a dessert to you, sherbet, coffee, fruit, fruit cream cake, and a dipping sauce made from chocolate.

Looking at the food, Chloe didn't enjoy it for the first time.

She closed her hands, closed her eyes, and muttered vanity:

"Our Father in heaven, let your name be holy, let your kingdom come, and let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our bread, and forgive us our sins, just as we forgive those who have wronged us, and do not let us fall into temptation.

(omitted)

But deliver us from the evil one. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, from today to ever, and forever. Amen. May the Lord have mercy. God Christ, bless your servants with food and drink, for you are holy and everlasting, from now to day and ever, and to the ages of the ages. Amen. ”

After a long and meaningless-sounding prayer, she shoved the dessert into her mouth, fast but rather Sven.

As she ate, Hoffa watched coldly with his arms folded.

After recovering a bit, Chloe asked, "Aren't you?"

Hoffa: "You can eat it this way, and your heart will be too big." ”

Chloe rolled her eyes, "I'm starving, just get used to it." ”

Out of respect, Hoffa forcibly suppressed his desire to ask questions.

Finally, when she finished eating, Hoffa was about to ask, but Chloe began to pray again.

"We thank you, Christ our God, that you have blessed us with the gifts of the world, and do not forsake us outside your heavenly kingdom, as you appeared to your disciples and gave them peace, and come among us, O Saviour, and save us. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, from today to ever, and forever. Amen. ”

She repeated some garbled sentence three times, and it was only when Hoffa scratched her heart and liver that she slowly ended her prayer and sat upright.

"Okay?"

Hoffa asked.

Chloe nodded, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

"Time turner? Do you have that kind of thing?"

"A time turner? What's that? I haven't heard of it, it's my talent. I was born to do that.

As she spoke, she remembered something and smiled: "I'll tell you a joke, when I was a child, my mother even saw two of me in the room, and she was terrified." ”

Silent.

No matter what Hoffa thought, it seemed insane.

The time and space of this world do not seem to be as stable as they imagined. And the nun in front of her, who met by chance, actually has her own incomprehensible perverted ability, no wonder those ** wizards will look for her like crazy.

Hoffa: "There are two of you on this plane?"

"What you asked has nothing to do with you, you still have to care about yourself. ”

Chloe sat down and said, "I have a word to remind you, you have to go back to your own time. ”

"Or else?"

"Otherwise, you'll be shattered in this strange plane. ”

"Shattered?"

"Isn't there any change in you?"

Hearing her say this, Hoffa's face changed, and he rolled up his sleeves again. only to find that the transparent area on the arm had risen from a soybean to the size of a palm.

Chloe gestured to Hoffa's arm.

"Time flare. Yours is the paradox of this space-time, and the longer you exist in this time, the more unreasonable your existence becomes. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Time is like a rushing train, and everyone's seat on this train is prescribed. Someone is in the front, someone is in the middle of the car, and someone is in the rear.

For ordinary people, this position cannot be changed casually, if you leave your position for too long, the logical chain that maintains your existence will become more and more fragile, if you exceed a certain threshold, you will eventually be completely crushed by the inertia of the arrow of time, and completely cease to exist. ”

Hoffa realized that he didn't understand what the other was saying at all, and after a moment of thought, he reached out and pulled Chloe's sleeve.

However, Chloe didn't have any transparent spots on her arms.

"Why don't you have anything to do?"

"I don't know, maybe it's talent. Every once in a while, I would go on a mana rampage, and when the mana would go berserk, I would randomly move around my timeline and go back when I regained my mana. ”

Hoffa didn't know what to say anymore, and after a moment of silence, he said dryly, "You mean that if you stay on this plane, I will die, but you will not die?"

That's pretty much what it means. ”

As she spoke, Chloe actually grinned: "What's the matter, I'll let you stay away from me." ”

Although she is decadent for the time being, under her real appearance, Chloe still looks very good when she laughs.

It's just that now Hoffa has no intention of appreciating it, and he can't help but believe the other party's words, and the gradually expanding spots on his wrists are reminding him all the time that his body is disintegrating under the chaotic flow of time.

"So what should I do?"

"Go back. ”

Chloe said briefly: "As soon as you return to your normal time, this disintegration will naturally stop." ”

"How do I get back?"

Hoffa asked confusedly. Although he has been through a lot of crazy adventures, he has no experience with the current situation.

"When I regain my magic, I will naturally take you back. ”

Chloe said lightly.

Huo Fa breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the other party's appearance and suddenly became a lot more pleasing to the eye. However, Chloe's next words drove him into the abyss.

"But my magic riot is only about once a month, and it will take at least a week or so to recover my mana, and with your current disintegration rate, it is impossible to hold out until I take you back next time. ”

"What?"

Huo Fa, who was sitting in the chair, was so shocked that he almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood sprayed on the other party's face: "Once a month, is this thing XXX?"

"What is XXX?"

Chloe looked at Hoffa in confusion: "My aunt is in Birmingham. ”

"Forget it, how long can my body last?"

"Two days at most. ”

Chloe sighed: "This disintegration is growing exponentially, and by a day and a half, you will be gone." ”

"Two days"

Hoffa looked at his arm: "Do you care if you kill or bury it?"

"You're quite humorous,"

Chloe shook her head and said, "I've never taken anyone through time and space, in the past, on the eve of my magic outburst, the priest of the monastery would lock me in a room alone, speaking of which, you were the first guy to follow me into the turbulence of time and space." ”

"That's an honor. Hoffa said sharply, "I only have forty-eight hours to live before this thing devours me?"

Chloe shrugged: "Or less." ”
