Chapter Ninety-Five: The Closed World Line
The city of Warlive, the capital of the Solomon Empire.
The topography of the city varies greatly.
The higher you go, the more elaborate the architecture becomes.
It was where the wealthy and aristocratic of the empire lived.
On a cold night, pure white snowflakes fall lightly on the rooftops.
Snowflakes decorate the city in plain white, and at the same time decorate the dreams of the upper classes.
In the same place, at the same time, there was a little girl shouting the same slogan.
"Sell matches! Sell matches! ”
"Is there any gentleman or lady who wants to buy a box of matches?"
Then she saw a gentleman pull out a pipe, and when she was about to step forward, she fell again in the same position.
So the little girl could only take the matches that were not sold and returned to her dilapidated home.
The home seemed to be no different from the previous one, with a broken door and two windows covered by newspapers.
The little girl entered the house, and the light was dark, and there was also a man lying on the ground muttering to himself.
This time, however, it was no longer a wine bottle, but an item similar to tobacco.
This kind of thing has a hallucinogenic effect, as if it can make people flutter.
However, it is highly addictive and has a variety of side effects that can corrode people's minds and bodies.
Although the price of this stuff is high, it is a sought-after commodity in the slums.
The little girl repeated the action as she dragged the man onto the straw mat, covered him with a quilt, and returned to her hut.
At this moment, the moonlight was quiet, but Alice did not take out the book.
She lay limply on the damp straw, her eyes staring distractedly at the dark roof.
Why......
She has returned to the past, and it stands to reason that she should be able to change the outcome of her mother's death.
But nothing has changed.
Nothing has changed!
As the minutes passed, the moonlight faded away.
A strong thought suddenly rose in Alice's heart, as if urging her to hurry up and read a passage.
She was a little stunned for a while, but the impulse in her heart became stronger and stronger.
As if involuntarily, Alice opened her mouth and uttered a familiar phrase that seemed to be carved into her soul.
"A traveler of time."
"A fairy through history."
"I hereby ask for your arrival."
"Help me wait."
"For this I would like to offer ......"
Before she could tangle what to offer, she suddenly blurted out in her mouth.
"For this I would like to offer a box of matches."
A box of matches in his pocket suddenly disappeared.
And Alice, after reading it, suddenly opened her lovely eyes, realized what she was doing at the moment, and her heart was full of doubts.
But in the next second, a trace of colored streamer rippled in the room, wrinkling the space.
The breath of eternity flowed through the room, silently, but everywhere.
Alice saw the streamer, and in her memory, it was as if the box that had been sealed for a long time had been opened.
Spell, Optus, Rewind Time......
In an instant, a myriad of information flowed through my mind.
Alice froze in place, finally realizing who she had forgotten.
It's Mr. Optus!
Then the next second she started retching.
——
After Ji Yan pressed the answer button, his eyes went dark, and it took a long time for a glimmer of light to appear.
He swept his gaze around, a familiar arrangement.
A dripping roof, a dilapidated wooden table, and a seat of straw.
and a little girl who bowed her head and retched.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yan knew that the plan should be regarded as a failure.
Alice did not succeed in saving her mother, and the family was still destitute.
Ji Yan's tentacles moved slightly, and then soared into the air.
But he quickly froze in the air, looking around in disbelief.
It was dark in the room, and the moonlight outside the window had disappeared.
It's obviously night!
But wasn't it nearly noon when he was summoned?
Before summoning, he also took a special look out the window, the sun was shining, and the tourmaline was empty.
Ji Yan's frozen body began to slide, through the window, and came outside the house.
At this moment, the snow has stopped, but you can still see the white snowflakes that have accumulated on the rooftops and on the streets.
The cold wind is blowing in the air, and it is in the middle of winter.
A drunkard staggered down a narrow alleyway when he saw a flying blue octopus in front of him, which woke him up from his drunkenness and ran out of the alley screaming monsters.
But Ji Yan didn't have time to pay attention to this drunkard, he looked at the bright light of the city on the heights, and knew that this was Wollif City, the capital of the Solomon Empire.
Obviously, the whole continent should be in the same season.
So the time point he is in reality is actually staggered with the time point here?
He had been summoned for so long, and he had never seen any scenes.
But he really hadn't seen the summons of different time periods.
At this time, it was obviously a few months later, which made Ji Yan suddenly have an impulse to understand what had happened in the past few months.
After all, who can stand this.
But there was a feeling in the dark that urged him not to be curious, not to do so.
This made his impulsive heart cool down a little, and finally regained a trace of sanity.
Ji Yan remembered the variability and uniqueness of time.
His second account is immune to the distractions of time, but in reality he can't, he's just an ordinary warlock.
If you really know what is going to happen in the future, no matter how you try to stop it, then it may happen.
Maybe it was because of his own blocking behavior that caused the incident.
Thinking of the theories of various times in his previous life, Ji Yan sighed slightly.
Giving up the thought in his mind for a moment, he turned around and went back to the house.
Alice, on the other hand, was looking for him all over the floor, shouting softly.
"Mr. Optos."
"Where are you?"
Alice was a little happy to see Mr. Optus enter through the window, but the tears on her face could not be contained, and they fell down in a hurry.
"Woo-woo-"
"Mr. Optos, I, I've failed."
"I couldn't save my mother, and my father......"
In Alice's crying, Ji Yan finally knew what happened.
