Chapter 167: Weird
When using a time turner, the user will feel like they are flying backwards very quickly, with vague cloud shapes passing in front of their eyes, something pounding in their ears, and not being able to hear their own voice.
This is said to be a normal reaction.
But Pei Chen's reaction was abnormal......
He had never grasped the context of the world so clearlyβthe flow of time was so clear, and the roots of the world were so the same. Gravitational waves dragged his perception to an extremely high place that did not exist, and in the never-ending flow of time, everything went from the far to the near, the great to the infinitely small. They don't need any proof, they are there, they can be seen.
Stars that release light and heat to their heart's content, beautiful nebulae depicted by countless burning stars, and the Milky Way that spirals silently over eons of time, and even the endless extradimensional multiverse itself that was born from the first singularity......
I don't know if it's an illusion, in the chaos of crossing the timeline, Pei Chen actually 'saw' this magnificent scene that runs through the origin and the end.
The tide of the world rises and falls, and hundreds of millions of stars are disillusioned...... Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's billions of years. He just glanced around casually, and what he saw was not anyone else, but an indescribable space-time rift like a dream, from which he could directly glimpse the infinite galaxy in the vast universe.
In such a state, it seems that the concept of thinking does not exist at all, Pei Chen is just passively accepting all kinds of information he perceives, and the whole person has a feeling of being confused and obedient. Vaguely, he felt as if an old, young soul was coming towards him through the curtain of years, and finally through his body, and a more wonderful feeling of going deeper into the soul and going deeper into the essence took the place of his thoughts......
I don't know how long it took, the end of the fall began, and the sounds around him suddenly woke him up, and his whole body was oozing sweat, as if his strength had been squeezed dry. The tide of the world that had been magnified by infinite distance washed up like a tide, and rolled him back again, he opened his eyes, and suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.
"Well, it was a success, no one had problems...... As I said, it's perfectly acceptable to limit time travel to just five hours. Mr. Saul's words seemed to come from a distant horizon, and there was an ethereal feeling.
Pei Chen shook his head fiercely, and finally broke free from that extremely dizzy state, and everything was quickly returning to normal - the previous memory had faded in just a few seconds, and he could no longer recall it, leaving only a rough outline and shadow, as well as the most real and profound feelings.
This is still in the Forbidden Forest, but the bright moon in the sky seems to be much higher and brighter than before, because the time has gone back for no more and no less than three hours. In other words, the current three were three hours ago, and two different of themselves existed at the same time.
"Professor Lyle, are you alright?" Dumbledore was the first to notice Pei Chen's strange behavior.
"It's okay, I can't be better......" Pei Chen waved his hand, without showing the slightest look of doubt on his face, and tried his best to make his voice seem normal. He had never tried to be so weak, so uncomfortable...... But it's such a joy, it's like being reborn.
But at the same time, he was also keenly aware of the strangeness of his experience just now, either a complete anomaly, or an almost chaotic delusion, and it was obvious that Dumbledore and Thor, who had traveled through time with him, had no such experience and feeling.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that the Space-Time Apostle illegally made time jumps would cause such a problem? But I didn't travel back and forth between the Warring States Period and modern time and space once or twice, and I didn't see any strange states...... Pei Chen was full of doubts buried in his heart, and directly opened the data template, intending to check his status bar - if there is really something wrong with him, then generally such a thing cannot be hidden from the status bar.
- "Status: Normal! β
Well, it does seem to be my own delusion...... Pei Chen pursed his lips and sighed in his heart, and when he was about to turn off the data-based character template, he noticed several other very unusual things out of the corner of his eye:
Archery Specialization LV3, Short Knife Skill LV3, Combat Bandage Crafting LV3, Combat Mastery LV3...... These once basic skills or specialty skills have all disappeared now, and there are no traces or records of existence on the skill list.
Gravitational Manipulation LV5...... But now it's gravity manipulation LV6!
Power of the Nine-Tails [Inactive]...... Now it's the power of the nine tails LV3, although the status is still [inactive].
Other than that, the other changes are not much, or at all.
He stood there for a long time, biting his lower lip, his face a little gloomy. Although these changes are generally beneficial to himself, it does not mean that he is happy to accept such changes unconditionally. Not only is the development of things out of control, but I can't see through them at all, which is really the most annoying thing.
β¦β¦

"We can't be accurate to the minute and the second, that's because in this area of magic, there are only 'one-hour reversal spells', not 'one-minute reversal spells' and 'one-second reversal spells', and even the founders of your academy can't do such precise control unless they turn to the legendary gods, if they really exist." That's how Saul explains.
Since the Forbidden Forest had started more than two hours earlier, they had to go straight back three hours to make sure they didn't miss anything.
"But the paradox of the problem is that if you believe in the existence of God as a sorcerer, then it only means that the sorcerer has gone down the wrong path of pursuing magic." Pei Chen was very simple and direct, and pointed out the problem to the point.
"Haha, that's what I said." Mr. Thor said with a smirk.
The three of them came to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest early, looking at the path hidden in the darkness, Pei Chen quickly estimated, and then said: "If we are really accurate to three hours, then the action will begin...... In about eighteen to twenty minutes, Hagrid and I will be here three hours ago, and then Hagrid will pick up Harry and them, and I will be waiting here......"
At this point, he suddenly looked strange: "Well, what if we just waited here and met 'them'?" Changing history? β
Dumbledore smiled and refused, except that he would become serious when talking about some important things, it was only more dangerous when he was angry, usually like a kind and kind old man next door like now: "It's impossible, and it's too dangerous...... I don't want to be killed by you! β
"It's too dangerous and not in accordance with the regulations, I won't agree to it!" Professor Saul shook his head and refused directly, and was very firm, with a non-negotiable tone, "Some wizards who confuse time just forget that they have traveled through time, and mistakenly kill their past or future selves. Just as the human mind cannot comprehend time, we will never know what serious consequences will be caused if the law of time is broken. β
After thinking about it, Pei Chen also felt that it was not very reliable. What happens if you suddenly see another self appear? In an instant, he thought of many strange words: 'clones', 'demon team', 'fate twins', 'love and kill'......
After a large number of equally strange scripts scrolled in his mind, he thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility - that is, not to speak, just hit and beat him!
Although his current combat power is completely different from that of three hours ago due to the legendary 'adventure' (or possibly an illusion), it is of no avail. Because this is just the so-called normal combat power, not the ultimate combat power. Pei Chen understands better than anyone else that whether it is his current self or his self three hours ago, once he is driven crazy, he will only have the last hole card......
That is, the killing stone is online, running at full power, and the synchronization rate exceeds 400%!
This kind of hole card that if you can't kill someone else, you have to kill your own life, Pei Chen has never had a cold, but he can't help but use it! Even if he would be dominated by the Killing Stone and greatly eroded and assimilated by evil thoughts, in the chaotic and shattered memories afterwards, Pei Chen could still find that his state at that time was properly super-god.
Meticulous use of energy, extraordinary skill specialization, gravitational field control that integrates offense and defense, and mastery of master-level weapons...... This is simply a temporary change of person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that part of the consciousness power of the ancient monster Nine-Tails has been resurrected in his own body.
And the most important point is that once you fight with another self, no matter how you think about it, there will never be a good result, it is nothing more than killing the past 'me' and killing the current 'me'. Either way, there are only three hours left in his life, which is really a sad story.
"Okay, I'm still me, but I'm no longer my ......" Pei Chen reluctantly agreed with Dumbledore and Thor's statement, "So what should we do now?" Silly waiting here? β
"Of course, but we may need a little bit of support."
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the air suddenly distorted, like ripples on the surface of calm water, and Pei Chen found that there seemed to be a thin layer of 'membrane' around the body surface of the three of them, isolating physical contact with the outside world.
Seeing Pei Chen curiously want to stretch out a slender index finger to touch the invisible 'membrane', Dumbledore hurriedly stopped: "Don't touch it, it will lose its effect!" The usefulness of this spell is that you don't feel like you're there, and you don't have much defense. β
"Feelings? So, if you appear directly in the field of view of other people, will you be seen? β
"I can't be sure, because if that person is not focused, they may ignore you and not use the help of spells at all." Dumbledore also made a rare joke.
A few people hid in the woods under Pei Chen's guidance, and then about ten minutes later, there were footsteps in the distance, one light and one heavy. Pei Chen heard it very clearly, this was clearly his own footsteps, and for a moment, he almost couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, it was really ridiculous, but it did happen.
The world is so wonderful.
"Why haven't you come yet? Filch's old bastard must have forgotten, right? Hagrid's gruff voice rang out in the woods.
"Maybe, why don't you go find them first? I'll just wait here. Another Qingyue young voice sounded, Pei Chen couldn't help but turn his face away, a little embarrassed, he never thought that when he saw it from the perspective of the person next to him, he heard his own voice like this.
