"Time stops is not a state, nor is it really stopping time. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The stars slowly paced the path around the stagnant black hand.

"It's more of an enchantment in the sense of a spell." As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, "Just like what you said about Rinslet's deeds before, you remember the barrier he opened up in the Dead Realm." ”

The enchantment that takes the Sacred Tree into it and greatly slows its corrosion rate?

Ah, that thing has to do with the flow of time, too.

"Is that thing the same as yours?" I asked, intrigued.

"No, it's not." Starring shook his head, "Although they are both enchantments that manipulate the flow of time, 'Time Slowdown' and 'Absolute Stop' are two absolutely different things. ”

"It's like you're going to the ruins of Manyo Country right now, and you're moving slowly at a speed of one kilometer per hour...... No, slow down, you're now traveling at a centimeter per hour. Starring looked at me and said, "Do you think that's slow enough?" ”

"It's not just slow, I don't think I'll be able to get there for the rest of my life." I spread my hands, "I guess I won't be able to get there in the next life." ”

Xinghuan clapped his hands, "That's right, at this rate, it would probably take you centuries to get to the country of Wanyo. ”

"But it's not forever." He turned his words and caught me in the eyes.

"What do you mean?" I was a little confused by his sudden remark.

Star Ring stared into my eyes, "No matter how slow your speed is, slow to infinitesimal, you'll still end up in the country of Wanyo, won't you?" The outcome of this matter has not changed, but the process of achieving this result has become longer. ”

"But." Star Ring turned on the offensive again, "If you stand where you are, just looking at the country of Wanyo and not doing anything, then you will never be able to reach the country of Wanyo." ”

"That's the difference between time slowing down and time stopping." He gave concluding words.

I seem to understand," that is...... Quantitative vs. qualitative change? ”

"Exactly." The star ring crouched down and touched the black hand that was still in the air.

The black hand didn't react, he held the dagger in his hand, and stayed in the state of the moment before the time stopped.

Starring unsipped his clenched right hand, took the dagger from it, and slipped it into his pocket casually.

"As I said just now, the time stop is completely different from the time slow, and there is another layer of difference, which is reflected in the senses of the people who are stopped in the time stop enchantment." Starring gripped the Shadow Actor's right hand and put his fingers back in place.

"The range of this secondary time-stopping enchantment of mine is five yards centered on me, and the duration is one minute." He said slowly, "In the world of time stopped, the people who are stopped by time will not feel anything, and their senses are continuous at the moment before entering and the moment after leaving when they stop. ”

"It means that they were cut off from their lives during the period of time they were stopped." Star Ring explained.

Cut off? When I heard this, I suddenly remembered something important.

"That'...... Will the player's time also be cut like this? I shuddered and shuddered to ask the question.

"Huh?" Starring rolled her eyes at me and said lightly, "Of course. ”

That is to say...... Is this a spell that can affect the real world? I asked, thoughtful.

"Hmm......" Star Ring thought for a moment, "Actually, you're not right. ”

I was a little confused, "Why not?" Isn't that so? ”

"No, it's not." He shook his index finger, "Because when players from the outside world enter this world, they have already become a part of this world. ”

"That is, as temporary inhabitants of this world, the rules of this world have the authority to do anything to them." Starring said.

"And stopping at the time is also part of the rules." He smiled.

He smiled.

But I couldn't laugh at all.

According to him, the world holds the lives of all gamers in the world.

A machine that controls tens or even hundreds of millions of human lives? This is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying event, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a disaster.

But I'm a little curious.

The person who created this game is also a human being, so he must have known the characteristics of this world when he created it.

In that case, why would he create something that could kill hundreds of millions of his own kind in an instant?

Sure enough, humans are a complex race.

"So, to sum up, when this little bunny recovers from the time stop, he will have no idea what happened in this 1 minute." Starring spread his hands, "His time has passed in vain. ”

"And it's not just to a living creature like him, even the time of a dead thing will be stopped." The Star Ring pointed to the boundary of the barrier, "Anything that doesn't pass through me will be put in place in this barrier, including the soul." ”

"There is no soul in a world where time stops." I muttered.

"Exactly." He nodded.

"Alright." He took the black hand and looked up at me, "There are ten seconds left in this barrier, and now it's time for you to make a decision." ”

"Do you want to cut off this hand?" The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he were a murderer who took pleasure in dismemberment.

To be honest, although this man named Shadow has killed me many times, I don't really hate him (definitely not because of his good looks, of course).

On the contrary, judging from the playfulness between the lines and the principles of his behavior, I don't think he is a bad person, just talking about money.

But......

Charge me 50,000 gold coins, which is too expensive!

"Cut! Chop off his hand and take it to smack his mouth! I shouted at the Star Ring, word by word, full of resentment.

Since the opportunity is in front of me, why don't I cut it?

He is not my relatives, friends, third aunts and six aunts, let alone my wife, children, relatives and classmates.

What can't I do?

Besides, it's not me who cut it.

"Well, that's what you said, young man." Starring took out the Shadowman's dagger from his pocket, and placed it where the black hand came out and gestured at it.

"Cut!"

With a shout from the star ring, the dagger fell.

The fragile arm couldn't withstand the cutting of the sharp dagger at all, and it was directly broken neatly.

However, there was no blood splattering, no sound of metal rubbing against flesh and bones, and no screams.

Because these things are firmly locked in the enchantment by Time Stop.

"Come, this severed hand is given to you." Starring threw the severed arm into my arms, "Take it and slap him in the mouth in a moment." ”

Looking at the arm in my arms that had turned back brown because of the loss of shadow, I suddenly felt a sense of refreshment that I had never felt before.
