Chapter 596: Pale World (Part II)

The "Clock of Time Eater" only has an area of effect for individuals, in other words, when this soul device activates its effect, it is not the world realm that stops, but the user enters the gap in time.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for everything to have two states at the same time – except for the cat of a cat sadist – for example, a door cannot be closed and opened at the same time, a cake cannot be in Morag and Brunei at the same time, a person cannot be alive and dead, and so on.

Only those who are touched by the wielder of the "Clock of Time", such as the clothes they wear, the air they breathe, or the things they hold in their hands, will receive the effect of the "Clock of Time Eater" in the gap of time, and can be regarded as a part of the individual, causing time to continue to flow in a strange direction.

Because of this, even though Neya had lived in the gap of time for a year because of the suspension of time, Sivi, who had the ability to neutralize the soul possession, was not able to detect that something was wrong.

Unless he is touched by the wielder of the "Clock of Time", even Sivi can't invalidate that ability and drag the opponent out of the gap in time.

It was supposed to be like this.

"What are you ...... for" The little girl looked nervously at Xiwei with an amazed face, and her little face was full of vigilant expressions: "Why are you able to act in this world?" ”

"If you can't drag it out, then you can come in yourself."

Sivi said something that made the girl feel unclear, and gradually approached her: "Although it is a bit troublesome to determine the specific location of the gap, it is still possible to reverse the coordinates of the soul device...... In fact, I was prepared to fail this time. Prepare to become a time slice or a time ghost......"

This made the vigilance on the girl's face even stronger.

"Forgot about me so quickly? I'm so sad......"

Xiwei smiled, and the skin and flesh on his face suddenly distorted and changed, turning into the image of a middle-aged uncle.

For Naia, that face should be able to be divided into an unforgettable category.

In the not-too-distant past, he took over the cursed pocket watch from the owner of this face.

"It's you!"

The girl screamed in surprise, and her mood was very complicated.

"It's been a long time, I remember your name is Naya, right?"

Sivi looked at the girl with a smile, and then said in an extremely divine tone: "Remember what I said at the time? Do you still think that the "Clock of Time Eater" is a treasure from the gods? ”

When Sivi first approached Naia, who had the highest compatibility with the "Clock of Time Eater", he had given her advice - even though stagnant time is a powerful force. But the more powerful the force behind it. The price to be paid is also enormous.

He had given the girl the right and opportunity to refuse, but the girl who had already tried the "Clock of Time Eater" at that time was blinded by the power and convenience of this soul device.

It was only now that he saw a deep exhaustion and a faint remorse on the other party's face.

"Even if this is a demonic creation, there is no way back for me."

Even so. The girl still stubbornly tilted her head. He looked at Xiwei: "Demon invasion, orc invasion, natural disaster coming...... All this has created many orphans. Human beings are a race of courageous struggle. Even in the face of the turbulent waves of the world, there will be the courage to fight. But it is precisely because of this that no one will stop and wait for these orphans - maybe the ones with good qualifications will be selected as mage servants and demon swordsmen's attendants, but more orphans are just ordinary people. Do they deserve to die in the indifferent worldly realm? ”

Sivi glanced at the gray-white, sculpture-like children in the room in the gap of time, and knew that they were all ordinary orphans in the girl's mouth.

Indeed, this world is not like the earth where he lived in his previous life, where there are many orphanages and welfare homes that will collect and raise orphans.

This world itself is full of malice towards humans, constantly tormenting this fragile but tenacious race, except for those who are qualified, self-absorbed humans certainly do not put too much energy into useless ordinary orphans.

According to incomplete statistics, in this crisis-ridden world, only about 10% of human orphans can survive safely. In fact, the proportion will only be smaller, not larger.

There's nothing Xiwei can do about thisβ€”can't you build other schools to teach compulsory education at the same time as opening a magic academy, right? In this way, the extra students ......

Wait, hasn't the Chamber of Commerce under Edric's been complaining about the lack of manpower lately? You don't need to let these ordinary orphans fight with weapons and monsters, just just learn knowledge, and there will be no problem in doing some copywriting work such as accounting at the end of the day, right?

In addition, some of the workstations that are understaffed, too wasteful to use the words of the academy students, and who can't handle the puppets, and need to be flexible, can also recruit people to help.

When you think about it, it seems a bit of a trick.

The only thing to worry about is whether Sophia, who has increased her burden again, will rush up directly to strangle him after knowing about this incident......

After being silent in the girl's eyes for a long time, Xiwei, who seemed inscrutable, asked her a little: "If you can take care of these orphans without using improper means such as stealing, and even ask someone to teach them the writing and arithmetic of the Humen language, will you come and help?" ”

"Where is there such a good thing in the world, even if you really do that, you will definitely fail in the end...... Do you know what the people of Brunei call these orphans? Swill rat ...... No one in this world cares about their lives or deaths! ”

The girl's face was full of frustration and pain.

She herself is an orphan without any qualifications, and if she hadn't suddenly obtained the inheritance of her soul device, she might have to hide in the corner of the city today, feed on leftovers, and live on garbage.

"So do you think it's good for them to be treated like swill rats all the time, and they can only live in the shadows?"

Sivi secretly used a little spiritual magic in his words: "No kidding! If you want to change the perception of others, you must first change your own attitudes and behaviors! 'Failure' is a word that can only be used by people who have worked hard, and people who have not made any effort are not qualified to say that they have failed! ”

The girl looked at Sivi's somewhat ugly face for a long time, and then nodded her head at the end.

"If what you say is true, then it doesn't matter if I give you back this soul device."

After speaking, she tilted her head a little distressed: "But it is estimated that we will have to wait for a long time before the world of the world will run again......"

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiwei's hand flicked on the "Time Devouring Clock", and the ability to neutralize all the soul effects itself was activated, and countless colors and sounds once again filled the entire world realm...... (To be continued......)

PS: I went to a relative's house today...... And then the whole day was wasted......
