The dim yellow inside No. 27 Lilac Street, as warm as an egg core, at night, the lilac door sign hanging on the lamp slowly sways in the evening breeze.

Now, it's "Storytime" between Merlin and Sheldon.

"Daddy," Merlin said, sitting beside Sheldon, staring at the magic wick on the bedside table, his eyes wide open, "what story are you telling today?" ”

Sheldon had been telling Merlin stories for four days in a row, some long, and of course, some short.

Each story is extremely exciting, such as the dream world of "Little Peter Sleepwalking in the Stars" and the witty story of "Bridge Gas's Pursuit of the Escape Wand".

Strictly speaking, these stories are not specifically for children, and even the story of "Little Peter Sleepwalking in the Stars" is now being savored repeatedly, because the image of "Peter" in it is so resonant. Merlin was indeed very smart, he could learn a language in just one month, and he was begging for more, more new knowledge, and it was not surprising that he could understand his story.

"Ah......" Sheldon smiled and scratched the back of his head, his tone was relaxed, "what do you want to hear?" ”

"I think ......," Merlin glanced strangely at Sheldon beside him, "then it's a little longer, the super-super long one." ”

Sheldon says it's impossible because his brain is too small to fit so many stories.

Merlin just crooked his mouth and let him talk whatever he wanted, and he liked to listen to it.

"Merlin, it's better to be a little more hidden." Márquez's voice in the sea of knowledge was a little worried.

Merlin just snorted disdainfully: "Our details have long been known to each other, and it's useless to hide them, besides, you're not as mature as you think, look, what bedtime stories do you listen to." ”

"Merlin!" Márquez's soul puffed up towards the nightmare's soul, kneading it on the other person.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't mess around! I don't have anything on me to give you! Merlin's voice was a little panicked, scared, and disgusted, "Tell me the story, listen to the story!" ”

Merlin, who was sitting on the bed, came to his senses, although only a moment had passed.

"So the story we're going to tell today, hehe." Before he could start, Sheldon smiled, and there was something special in his eyes, "Five Lies." ”

"Lies?" Merlin repeated suspiciously.

"That's right, it's a lie."

"Lies, not ...... Isn't it good? ”

In Merlin's sea of knowledge, "Merlin" knowingly does not respond.

"This world is not as monotonous as you think, but it is actually very interesting." Sheldon touched Little Merlin's head, "Sometimes, bad things can turn into good things, and even good things can turn into bad things. ”

"I still don't understand." Merlin said earnestly.

"Then I don't understand, I hope, you don't need to understand him by now." Sheldon was stunned for a moment, "However, the story I'm going to tell you next may help you better understand the meaning of the lie." ”

Merlin didn't speak, just tugged at the quilt on his body harder, pulling it in even more.

"This time, we're going back hundreds of years."

It was a, very old, very old legend.

Lux is a big tree, a ...... It's old, it's magical, and it's a magical tree.

It represents the most mysterious, the most severe, but also the most indisobedient thing - time. Coincidentally, our human curiosity could never be satisfied, and at that time, people took the trouble to challenge the majesty of Lux in order to obtain what they wanted—the secret of the origin of the soul.

Only by going back to the beginning can we see through the imprint in each of our hearts, which is the imprint of Didama, which affects us, but it is also gone, like an invisible and intangible breeze. This magic makes us tirelessly pursue the meaning of "Didama" itself. But we've failed, we've been failing.

Lux has a soul, and it has made an eternal pact with humans, and has offered to give them a chance to explore the roots of their souls by cheating on time.

People didn't understand what Lux meant by doing this, but they poured in. People don't know what the meaning of cheating time is. Now, most people don't know about it.

Some people believe that cheating time is deceiving us all; Some people also believe that it is to achieve an impossible goal; Of course, there are also people who think that cheating on time is nonsense.

We are here to say the premise that time is an intoxicating thing, and its very existence is a deception to us. We sometimes think that growth is a natural change over time. However, as we grow up, many of us find that we are no different from what we were at the beginning.

"Hehe......" Sheldon suddenly noticed that Merlin was actually listening very seriously, he chuckled, and then continued, "Actually, time is there, you can't get anything back if you go to fish, time, one-sidedly speaking, is the objective truth." ”

But...... It is still possible to simply cheat the time and distort the facts a little.

Take for example the gentleman we're going to introduce today. His name is the same as yours, Merlin.

As I said before, some people think that cheating time is deceiving all of us, but this view is actually very close to reality. Time records people's thoughts, and if there are no thoughts, then time does not need to exist. It's not enough to deceive everyone else, it's also a real self-deception.

Merlin was fortunate to have the opportunity to sign a special contract with Lux, and under the guidance of this tree, he carried the power of the "Primordial Rune" and gained the special magic of going back in time.

Of course, there is a big limit to the amount of time you can go back into, and if you don't think about it at all, then Lux's reputation will be ruined, right?

And Lux gave him guidance that if he wanted to cheat time, he had to commit five unspeakable lies. As for the specific content of the lie, Lux did not tell Merlin, but only let Merlin think there for himself.

"Why would Lux tell Merlin to commit five unspeakable lies in order to cheat time? It clearly represents time...... "Merlin is puzzled, Lux represents time, if it is to deceive time, it is to deceive Lux, that is to say, Lux is teaching Merlin to deceive himself!"

Forget it, it's better not to think about these things.

"It's probably a hoax." Knowing the sea, Nightmare muttered in a low voice.

"What Merlin needs now is a motive to cheat time, that is to say, why should he cheat time." Sheldon's voice was soft, like a pool of lake water.

But this is something that most people don't think of, and even if they know the way to cheat time, there is no reason to risk getting lost in the turbulence of time and space to challenge the authority of Lux.

This was the birth of Merlin, in Merlin's heart, Lux could not have been so kind as to help him understand the secret of Didama, and he had used various ways to test the secret of this unknown imprint.

Outcome...... To his surprise, he found that as long as he turned his body into the same energy as the power of runes, he could dissect his soul separately and materialize it, while the soul was buried deep in.

Everything is fate, and time is always the initiator of manipulating eternity.

The deception of time is just a reversal of some important time points, so that you can think that something is really happening, and you will believe it.

This is the so-called deception of time, after all, he deceived everyone and himself.

If this story had been so simple, then Merlin wouldn't be on our desk today.

Because, he wants to achieve his own ends, not be at the mercy of Lux.

"Well, that's how the story begins, haha, it's too long, I might be more confused." Sheldon said as he rubbed Merlin's long, soft hair beside him.

Merlin yawned just right, and his eyelids twitched.

"Well, good night."
