Chapter 1316: Deceiving the Future
Without Delphi going back to this era from the future, it would be impossible for Maca to save Luna. Apex X23US looks at it on the other hand, and if he wants to save Luna, it seems that he will have to bring the future Delphi back to the present.
These two sentences are precisely one of the ways in which Maca realizes how she should put everything together.
And in this plan, if the time turner is a "silk thread" that strings together the beginning and end of all events, then the name he engraved on the edge of the gold ring of the time turner is probably the last "knot" he made.
"Delphi, you know what? About half an hour ago, I just put this converter engraved with your name in the hands of 'you'......"
On the roof, Maca looked at Delphi, who was staring down at the time turner, and seemed to be a little stunned, and said softly:
"That's right, it's the one of the era, just turned a year old, and to tell you the truth, you seemed to really like this slightly late birthday present at the time."
"However, this is what Sister Cathy gave me before she died"
"Well, yes!" Maca nodded and said calmly, "For you now, that's the case. But in fact, I don't think Cathy should have died...... Well, no, actually, I don't know. But I must say that it is indeed what I left you, and the notch of the name is the best proof of it......"
"Just when you were lying unconscious on the couch earlier, I carved it with my own hands."
Delphi stroked the letters on the edge of the gold ring, and the subtle touch made her feel more and more stunned.
"I'm sorry."
This is the third time Maca has said sorry to her.
"I left a curse of amnesia on the time-turner's notch, and a false memory that I had carefully crafted. Once the magic on the notch is activated, it will lead you to use the time turner to come to me. ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to, but if I want you to live, I have to."
Turning one's vision into reality, and even influencing someone in the future, is definitely something that needs all kinds of coincidences to be able to do. But under the constraints of the rules of time, it seems that the only option is to let Delphi escape the fate of being erased.
Obviously, it might be more appropriate to say that Maca "came up with such a plan on his own" than that "the rules of time forced him down this path".
Perhaps, this is also one of the binding effects of the rules of time?
"Dad, I'm willing to believe what you say, but ......"
After listening to Maca's explanation, she felt that her hands were trembling slightly, and she couldn't stop.
"But," she said, "if what you say is true, isn't that ...... Is everything I remember going through actually fake? I didn't hate you, I didn't love you, and I didn't spend the hardest and most unforgettable time under your care, care and companionship? ”
"That"
Speaking of this, Delphi's voice was faintly tinged with a hint of crying.
"Then how did I get over my life for more than ten years?"
If one day, when you know that you have gone through a lot of hardships, you are suddenly told by someone you trust the most, saying that everything you have ever done is false.
So, do you suddenly have an irrepressible fear?
What is your past like? What have you experienced, what have you had, and what have you lost? Even, who are you?
Is she really Delphi McLean? Or...... Maybe something went wrong that she was just someone else who got the time turner by accident?
Delphi is undoubtedly smart, but because of this, she is more likely to fall into this state of self-perception disorder.
However, this confusion of Delphi has actually been experienced by Maca a long time ago.
When he first came into this world, the feeling of waking up from a dream also caused him to fall into a dead loop of thinking. Which one is the real self in the last life or the self in this life? Which one is just a dream.
Or, in fact, none of them are themselves?
Even in the first few years of his childhood, he thought he might be in an extremely realistic "lucid dream", so much so that he almost bit off a small piece of his tongue in an attempt to return to reality.
Therefore, Marca, who had a similar experience, suddenly opened her arms and hugged Delphi tightly in her arms.
"You are Delphi 'Delphi McLean', my daughter of Macla McLean. Just keep that in mind, nothing else matters...... What's more, if you really care, there will be time for you to witness for yourself in the future, right? ”
It's not like himself, I'm afraid it's impossible to confirm who he really is in this life. And in his case, all he can do is completely forget about those nonsense thoughts.
Therefore, he can always look forward, and never look back on the roads that he has left behind.
Maca gently stroked Delphi's hair, as if to soothe a frightened kitten, and let her slowly calm down in her arms.
At the same time, Maca herself was still thinking about the "future" that Delphi had told him.
In fact, according to the theory of timeline, the so-called "false memory" is very likely to be real. It's just Maca's whole plan that makes it an illusory future.
Yes, to this day, the stone ball at the top of the Maca Staff has not been shattered by the intervention of the rules of time, and Helbo's demon summoning ritual has not been destroyed!
If it goes on like this, there may be some slight changes in the future, but I am afraid that there will not be much deviation in the general direction.
If that terrible future is to be truly impossible, then Maca must stop Helbo's plot and jump to the "other" branching line!
"Delphi, are you feeling better?"
Thinking about it, Maca pressed her shoulders and gently pushed her in front of her, looking down slightly at her face. Seeing the tears on her cheeks, Maca couldn't help but reach out and wipe it for her.
"If you still feel bad, then beat me up!"
Maca doesn't know what the future holds, but he will definitely treat his daughter, who is a year older than him, well. And this is probably the source of the impression of Delphi's father who was "very good to himself"?
After all, when Maca created that memory, he really thought that. As for whether this was a kind of compensation or something else, Maca herself was a little unclear.
"Well," Delphi blushed slightly, a little embarrassed by the way she had just made a fool of himself, "I'm fine...... So, can I still call you 'Daddy'? ”
"Oh, of course!"
Maca patted her head and smiled:
"No matter what, you are my daughter, memories may deceive people, but what you have learned, you can't deceive people! I'm not so good that I can teach you so many abilities directly with just the nick of a name. ”
As he spoke, the Ice Crystal Giant Bird summoned by Delphi lowered its head and approached Delphi's side, as if it wanted to prove all this.
"Yes," Delphi said softly, touching the icebird's forehead, feeling the coldness, "I learned it myself, and it took a lot of effort and many failures to learn...... Even if I may not remember, it must be like this. ”
"If only I could figure it out," Maca nodded, then waved her hand, "Then let's go!" We've ...... for a long time Well, father and daughter teamed up to get rid of all the guys that Helbo had made! Leave none of them for him! ”
"Yes, father and daughter join forces, no one will be left!"
Delphi grabbed Maca's arm and dragged him onto the Ice Bird's back, then beckoned the giant bird to flap its wings again and swoop down towards the city below.
Oh, yes! What's so scary? It was her father who gave her a reason to completely escape the fate of "achieving nothing but still dying".
What "determination to die", no matter how resolute it is, it is impossible to really regard death as home. If she could always be by her father's side like this, how could she be willing to die?
"Dad, you say...... Who should I be my mother? ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
In mid-air, Maca couldn't hold back and almost coughed up her lungs.
……
"Mr. Potter, watch your back!"
As Maca and Delphi were leaving the tall building and heading straight down the streets below, the battle between Harry and Thomas grew more and more oppressive.
If it's just two or three black-pupiled wizards, it's actually barely able to deal with it, and if you're even willing to fight, you can take the risk of killing one of them at the right time.
Like the previous one, it was Thomas, with his absolute superiority in strength, who risked being stabbed in the heart by Blackthorn to find the opportunity.
But after that, two of the guys with black eyes appeared at the same time, and a total of four enemies immediately forced them to retreat temporarily.
However, it is not so easy to escape the pursuit of those black-eyed wizards.
Harry can fly with Thomas with a broomstick, but not only can the other party fly, but he doesn't even need props, but his speed is not slower than the two of them.
At the moment, Thomas, who was looking back with his arm around Harry's waist, shouted a reminder, and Harry immediately slammed the broom handle and sank down.
In the next moment, a sharp black thorn suddenly "whirred" and flew away above their heads.
It is conceivable that if he had been shot just now, it is estimated that he would have been able to directly skewer the two of them into a human-shaped meat skewer!
"Harry, be careful, and!"
