Chapter 10 Finding the Key

"Seal: Temporal Barrier"

Natsuki walked across the street and raised his hand to grab the pure crystal on his chest, letting out a low moan.

In the next second, a faint light emanated from the pure crystal, draining some of the magic power he had just recovered, and at the same time, he also extracted a small part of the magic power that had been sealed by him.

Although Natsuki's current body is unable to carry these magical powers, with the help of pure crystals, he can still release some non-destructive abilities.

And the ability he is using now is itself an ability that belongs to Alkaya [Witch of Time], but in the past three years, almost all powerful witches have made contracts with him, so he naturally knows how to use magic to simulate their abilities.

A few seconds later, a faint halo of distorted light appeared around Natsuki's body, and then vanished and disappeared into thin air.

"The Barrier of Time"

It is an ability to use the magic of time to isolate external time, freeze internal time, and seal the target......

However, if it is turned inside and out, it can form a barrier against external time interference, allowing people inside the barrier to move freely in the chaotic time.

Make reasonable use of your own abilities.

The most important thing that the fallers who are full-time involved in dealing with strange events need to learn.,After recovering his memory,,Natsuki's previous accumulation is also all fused together.。

In fact, the abilities of all fallers, wanderers, and returnees are also composed of the most basic [data], and through complex construction, they eventually become similar to the [rules of strange talk] and are displayed in the real world.

With the protection of the "Time Flow Barrier", Natsuki had no scruples, and went directly to the door of the watch store and pushed the door open.

At this time, he noticed that a guest came in, and Lawrence, who was busy with his work, stopped his movements again as before, and everything around him ......

It also solidified again.

"Hello sir, what do you need?"

This time, Natsuki successfully walked into the store, and Lawrence didn't show the slightest sign of "rewinding", just raised his tired eyes and asked politely.

Natsuki also noticed that the moment he stepped into the store, the time that had been frozen outside had resumed its circulation, and it seemed that it was ...... This first level is considered to have passed itself.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lawrence? My name is Natsuki, and I want to customize a pocket watch for you. ”

Natsuki walked up to Lawrence and stretched out his hand to the other party, explaining his "intention" at the same time.

"Sorry sir, I don't accept customization right now, you can see it, I have work to do."

Lawrence reached out and shook Natsuki's hand, his face looking apologetic, and pointed to the pocket watches in the glass case next to him.

"If you don't mind, you can take a look at these, these pocket watches are also made by me, and they are all of fine quality."

"No, I don't want that, I want you to make a new one."

Natsuki smiled and shook his head, then looked down at the pocket watch on the counter, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

There is no doubt that this watch is the piece of the timepiece that Lawrence wanted to give to his wife as an anniversary gift.

"May your time never stand still, as much as I love you, my dear Monica"

From his current angle, he could clearly see that the inside of the sleeve of the pocket watch was engraved with this sentence, which he had not noticed because he had not opened the outdated pocket watch before.

And now that he has seen it, he can use it, and he can always remember it...... I'm here to solve the weird talk!

"Why don't I pay a premium for the watch you're making?" Trust me, the price I can offer must be much higher than the person who customizes it. ”

Xia Mu had an indifferent expression on his face, looking very frivolous, and changed his previous polite appearance.

The reason why he said this was simple, he wanted to provoke Lawrence and see if the core of the virus was hidden in this guy's body.

If he is, then everything will be easy, and he can take action now and clean up the virus!

"Sorry sir, this is what I am going to give to my wife, this year is the fiftieth anniversary of our marriage, I want to surprise her, it is impossible to sell."

However, Lawrence did not show anger in the face of Natsuki's unreasonable demands, he only apologized again and explained the situation.

Well?

Doesn't it mean that this guy has been in a bad mood lately? Doesn't it look like it?

Seeing that Lawrence didn't react as expected, Natsuki narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but think.

It stands to reason that after being hit by the double blow of career and family, it is easy for people to become different from themselves and fall into a kind of self-created depression.

Especially like Lawrence, who watches his wife get weaker and weaker and drift away from him every day, but he can't do anything about it, he will undoubtedly be psychologically tormented and depressed.

In this case, once you touch a certain "switch" of the other party, it is easy to provoke the other party, which is a rule that Natsuki has practiced many times.

And now Lawrence is unmoved, and can only say one thing...... That is, he hasn't touched his "switch" at all, so he naturally won't be angry.

In other words, the "key" is not in the pocket watch, so ......

Is it "Monica"?

In a flash of thought, Xia Mu immediately shifted his target and spoke again:

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Mr. Lawrence, I may have a solution to your lady's condition."

As he spoke, he didn't make any extra moves, and directly took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed his arm, and blood suddenly spilled all over the ground.

"What are you going to do!"

Lawrence was shocked when he saw this, and couldn't help but take a step back, thinking that the man in front of him was a madman.

But Xia Mu just smiled, as if he didn't feel pain, and slowly raised his right hand holding the knife, holding Chunjing in his hand.

"Mr. Lawrence, I'm going to prove to you what I'm saying, so please keep an eye on it."

As soon as the words fell, he once again used the pure crystal to extract a little bit of the magic power in the seal, simulating the ability of the [Healing Witch].

Immediately after, he brought the wound in front of Lawrence, and under the surprised gaze of the other party, an emerald green light floated on the wound.

In the next second, the deep wound was under Lawrence's nose...... Heal slowly!

"What are you...... Magic? ”

The aged Lawrence's eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening.

It seems that he still maintains the original "ordinary person" character in this secret realm, and he doesn't know about the previous "time backtrack".

This is normal, most of the rules and secret realms of mortal-level weird talk are like this.

"It's not magic, Mr. Lawrence, you can call it magic if you will......

But whatever it is, the most important thing is that it can cure your wife's illness, and if I can do it, how about you sell me this pocket watch? ”

Although he said so, Natsuki didn't plan to cure any disease, and with his current magic strength, he couldn't use that ability.

All he wants is to meet Lawrence's wife, Monica...... As one of the key elements of this secret realm, there is definitely a clue to be found from Monica.

However, what Xia Mu didn't expect was that when Lawrence finally calmed down, he slowly shook his head and said:

"Thanks, no need."

"Huh?"

"I know my wife's situation, she doesn't have a few days, and no one can cure her, please let me hurry up and finish the pocket watch, I can't give it away."

Hearing this, Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly regained his composure and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that Lawrence's reaction was very abnormal, not at all like a husband who hoped that his wife would continue to live.

Otherwise, when he learns that his wife has hope of healing, he should find a way to prove it, even if he does not believe it immediately.

Eviction order?

Hehe.

That's a lot of questions.

Natsuki is now sure about his wife...... Lawrence has been lying!

Perhaps, his love for his wife is true, but his wife's situation will never be what he says to outsiders.

Combined with his current reaction, Natsuki even had reason to be suspicious......

Is Monica still alive!

Things seem to be getting interesting......

Natsuki smiled, raised his eyelids and stared at Lawrence:

"Mr. Lawrence, this does not seem to be your sole discretion, and I would like to meet with Ms. Monica and ask her opinion, do you think...... May I? ”
