Chapter 39: Time Back
- Anger at what?
"Anger against you." Prutt's tone was unusually calm, "Anger comes from the sins you have committed. ”
As he answered, Laval stood up and took off his mask.
Her countenance was very young, she looked to be about twenty years old, her face was pale, her eyes were gloomy, and there was no trace of life in her eyes, exactly the same as Prutt's.
"Will you listen to me?"
Laval asked mechanically and coldly.
Su Mo was shocked.
Although Laval's expression was also numb, it could be seen that the contours of her facial features were very soft, and under the soft black hair, next to those dark eyes, were a pair of slightly pointed ears blocked by a wide mask!
Laval is an elf, a true elf!
Su Mo suddenly got up, and after becoming suspicious, a series of previous doubts quickly jumped through his mind:
In the dangerous wilderness, I saw two strange figures but stepped forward without scrutiny and without hesitation......
Preconceived that these were two humans, he assumed the identity of the "messenger" and ignored the suspicious silence......
Temptation - no, to speak like a brainless, straightforward request for a human to lead a human to the tribe for the first time......
And the most obvious ......
His thoughts turned sharply, Su Mo's eyes sharpened, and he was about to step forward to restrain Laval and Pruut, but seeing that Nornes was faster than him, he suddenly burst out and reached out with corrosive claws, directly cutting Laval's neck.
In an instant, time froze in this scene.
Su Mo, who got up and wanted to pounce, caught a glimpse of Prute still sitting indifferently in place out of the corner of his eye, staring at the faint bonfire in front of him with a lifeless gaze.
Behind him the sky was clusters of gray clouds.
On the other side, Laval's head still maintained the same appearance as before, but after separating from his body, it did not fall to the ground, but froze in mid-air, and a strange smile was dyed on his lips at some point......
Su Mo's gaze suddenly fell into darkness, as if it was suspended in the dark and cold air.
A snowflake seemed to fall from the tip of his nose, and he could even smell the cool scent of snowflakes in the air.
It was as if he heard the sound of collision in his ears, dull and rhythmic, like the beating of a heart.
His eyes went dark...... Then quickly sober up.
The ruins of the wall disappeared, and the large rock bed appeared.
Su Mo stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the strange yellow-gray sky.
Nonnes, who stepped out of a position, stopped at the right time, turned around and asked, "What did you find?" ”
When he followed Su Mo's gaze and looked up at the sky, Su Mo also said in a silent voice: "You have no memory?" ”
The full moon of blood, which took up half of the sky, was gone, and the sky was a dim gray yellow that Nornes had never seen before.
Su Mo wouldn't tell him that the scene was called dusk.
Nornes' expression became serious: "When did we get hit?" ”
Summer took out the rough map Antonio had left behind and half-crouched down with Nornes.
The map was spread out on the ground, and Summer held out his index finger to point to a place that was later marked.
"The last time we had a break was in Cole City......"
His fingertips draw a route that coincides with the route already on the map.
"From the north gate of Cole City, past the Carroton Gorge, the banks of the Leta River, the Murray Plains and an unknown low hill, then ......"
Su Mo closed his eyes and silently compared the route in his mind with the actual route, and his expression suddenly became ugly.
"Then, we should go north-east......"
He opened his eyes and continued to draw lines with his fingers, but there was a divergence from the previous overlapping route.
"But we unconsciously deviated from our original course," Su Mo said in a low voice, "heading south-east." ”
He said to the solemn-eyed Nornes:
"It's very wrong.
"Every time we arrive at a landmark with a distinct character, whether it's a feature or a landform, we stop to confirm the direction of the follow-up.
"Therefore, when we all deviate from the actual course and are always unaware, it can only mean ......"
"We were affected at the same time." Nornes picked up the conversation.
Su Mo asked, "What do you think of the situation?" ”
"Curse." "We're cursed," Nornes said. ”
"As I thought, the curse has embroiled us in a high-level incident." Su Mo nodded, considering his words, "Can you block ...... The Red Moon incarnated by the ancestor has to start with ...... From the person of God, it is difficult for us to solve it on our own. ”
He looked up at Nornes and asked, "What do you think?" ”
High-level events from the person of God......
Nornes didn't ask Summer how he judged, perhaps he had a similar answer in mind.
Nornes was silent for two seconds, his gaze resting on the void in front of him, and then, his sober and calm gaze met Sumer's, and responded:
"I've experienced deeper failures and humiliations.
"This level of desperation wasn't enough to hold me back.
"You just said, 'I have no memory,' what memory did I lose?"
Su Mo looked at him silently, inhaled softly, and slowly exhaled again.
He relayed to Nornes what had happened before, including how they had been demoted like pawns at the mercy of others.
Nornes concludes:
"In other words, my act of killing the elf Laval clearly violated a certain taboo, causing the time, place, and memory of our time and place to go directly back to a certain point in time?
"But why is it that only my memories have been retraced?
"Is it because I've violated the taboo and is the reason for directly triggering time rewinding?"
Sumer said: "This speculation is possible. ”
At the same time, he also silently added in his heart:
Of course, it's also possible that I'm special......
After all, there is no landing into a box.
"Judging by Laval's behavior, she knew about this taboo and deliberately lured us into action." Su Mo said, "Not only her, but Prutt, who walks with her, may have the same taboo." ”
"If they're the key players in going back in time," Noons analyzes, "are there other types of limitations?" For example......
"Space."
Summer said, gazing at the huge, dark red sun above the sea level.
He said slowly: "We have inexplicably entered this strange space from the normal world, and we already have a mystical connection with this space, if we want to leave by changing the geographical location, maybe the moment we step out of the space, we will trigger a backtrack. ”
Summer and Nornes looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then parted tacitly.
They don't stupidly run into practice because of such obvious facts, triggering a time backtracking to validate an idea.
Even more obvious than the spatial limitation is that there is probably some kind of upper limit on the number of backtracks.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Laval to deliberately lure them into breaking the taboo.
Nornes looked up at the rockbed that stretched into the distance: "Next?" ”
"Meet Prute and Laval for a while." "This time, I'm curious about what sins we've committed. ”
