The water flowing from the public faucet covered Xia Xiu's hands, and the cold groundwater made his somewhat chaotic thoughts begin to come back to his senses, he stretched out his hands to pick up a bend of water, and then splashed the water on his face.

After calming himself down, Xia Xiu went to the remote bench in the park and sat down, from where he could see the clock spinning on the bell tower.

It was 11:10, 50 minutes before Amelia Watson came on.

Now, what can be determined is that what he just experienced is not an illusion, and time has really begun to rewind, so what he wants to determine now is what this 'time rewinding' is.

Xia Xiu raised his left hand and said in an indifferent tone:

"Overclocking!"

A blood-red interface pops up.

[Overclocking failed!! 】

Xia Xiu slowly lowered his left hand, and now he can be sure of one thing, he is in the closed realm, that is, in the [Timeline Narrative] loop, the 'time rewind' just now is not really going back in time, but similar to the story rewind in the game.

Playing with time is a bit difficult on the land of Terra, but it's not outrageous.

The area of Brussels where he is now should have been [narrated] by something, and now this area is a separate [narrative layer], and everything that happens here is based on the [consequences] of what happens on the [baseline], and the flow of time here is not actually faster, it is just separated from the present world alone.

Of course, this [timeline narrative] can be turned into a real 'time rewind'.

The Second Law of Thaumaturgy: Part Affects Whole.

As long as the stories within the [Narrative Layer] are freed up, and the deeds in that area are sufficient to distort and deceive the [Aetheric Ocean], then the present world will also begin to run according to the direction of the stories within the [Narrative Layer].

Xia Xiu continued to recall in his mind the relevant characters and deeds related to the manipulation of time.

The Scarlet King has made a move, no, it doesn't feel like it's his handiwork, although he likes to narrate fate and play with time, but the scale and excitement of his play are much bigger than this.

The Daevite's [Book of Time] is no, no, no, no, Daevite's [Book of Time] is a terrifying being that conceptualizes time in the true sense of the word, and [Chronological Narrative] is much inferior to it.

Seventy-two Solomons, it's still early days before the second expansion.

The thumb and index finger of Xia Xiu's left hand had unconsciously begun to turn the ring on the index finger of his right hand.

Atlantis, Sea, Timeline Narrative······

Iberia, Deep Sea Hunters·······

[Promised Land], [Gaia-like consciousness]······

Xia Xiu slowly stood up from the bench, there is too little information at the moment to infer any facts, the only thing that can be assumed is that he has gained detachment because of the [Seal of Ion], which means that his memories in the backfile will not be formatted.

[Timeline Narrative] has the necessary three elements: the baseline, the premise, and the consequences (ending).

So far, the following information is known:

Basics: Suspected to be related to Haisi?

Premise: Unknown.

Consequences: When two sea heirs die, one of the [consequences] is triggered, which is now set to [A consequences]. A consequence is [Narrative Knot], that is, the ending that the initiator who initiated [Timeline Narrative] avoids, and when [A Consequence] is triggered, time will be rewinded.

And if he wants to break the [time narrative], he can only think of three ways to do it at the moment.

The first is to achieve the [final consequence] desired by the initiator of the [time narrative], that is, to play the HE ending, but this HE is only a good ending for the initiator, and it can only be for the participants.

The second is to figure out the [basic line] and [premise], and then carry out [strong logical deduction].

The so-called [strong logical deduction] is to force the story to follow the inevitable ending of the basic line, although this will also trigger time backtracking, but as long as the number of deductions reaches the threshold, [timeline narrative] will collapse.

The third, the purest physical means, is to repair the initiator or the object.

The first kind of Xia Xiu directly denied it, and now this [timeline narrative] is on the side of Hai Si at a glance, and he helps Hai Si get through the end of he, isn't it just looking for his own death.

The third kind is also impossible, the thaumaturgist who can carry out [timeline narration] is most likely the crowned person who blesses his body with the two great powers of [Deeds Spread] and [Crown Blessing], they are the top existence in the transcendent world, one by one, like a walking natural disaster, he can fight it is strange.

And if it's an item, then it's even more troublesome, once this oversized item is triggered, it will become very uncontrollable.

So what can be done now·······

It's to verify the changes brought about by [A consequences].

Xia Xiu got up and went to the Bercel Aquarium, where he wanted to test his suspicions.

··········

【Bercel Aquarium】

When Xia Xiu reappeared here, he once again met Catherine Vera, who had white hair and red eyes, and was dressed in a blue smart suit, cape, boots, and a wide hat on her head.

She still held the two-edged broadsword in her hand, and around her was the juvenile [Gruvida] who had fallen to the ground and split in half, and she was now scanning her surroundings with her red eyes, looking like a hunter looking for prey.

Kaiji did run away·······

Presumptive: Catherine Vera, the Hunter of the Depths, is an evasive character, which is one of the driving forces that trigger time rewind.

Xia Xiu pressed the top hat on his head and said to himself in his heart.

At the same time, Catherine Vera discovered the existence of the blonde youth, she held the giant sword in her hand, looked at Xia Xiu with a cold gaze and asked:

"Who are you?"

The deterrence exuded by the other party was very powerful, Xia Xiu could feel that she had been aiming at her vital point, if she had any bad moves, then the next moment she would be splattered with blood on the spot.

"Hugh Abraham, an angel of heaven who happened to pass by here." Xia Xiu directly summoned the Red Book to identify himself.

After hearing Xia Xiu's answer, Catherine Vera's terrifying red eyes narrowed slightly, and Xia Xiu took the opportunity to come forward and watch, and sure enough, he didn't find the existence of the two sea heirs.

"What are you looking for?" The Deep Sea Hunter asked at him.

"Those two Gula clans exist in Brussels." Xia Xiu replied directly.

Hearing Xia Xiu's answer, Catherine Vera set her eyes on the other party, there was an inexplicable meaning in her eyes, and Xia Xiu naturally knew what the other party meant, so he replied directly:

"If you believe me, please follow me to find someone, who may be the reason why the two Gula clans came inland."

"Who?"

Xia Xiu met the other party's red eyes and said slowly:

"Amelia Watson."

··········

Bercel Commercial Street.

Amelia Watson concert backstage.

"Goyle, why did you come inland?"

Amelia Watson asked as she gathered her things at the shark-man in front of her, who was more than two meters tall and looked like a human, but with gills on her cheeks.

"Bloop misses you, I miss you too, and Bloop senses you're in danger." Goyle Gula replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Bloup?"

Amelia Watson looked at the shy Bloop Gulla, who looked like an eight-year-old human child, except that he had the skin and gills of the cartilaginous fishes like Gorgula.

"The great [Termetius] told me that you are in danger and that we must come and save you." Blapp replied earnestly to Amelia.

Amelia was stunned, she really didn't expect the two of them to come to her for such an absurd reason, although she knew that Bloup Gula was a prophet in Atlantis who could listen to the whispers of [Tyremitheus], but she didn't expect that these two would come to her because of the prophecy.

"We covered up with the [Mimu music] you made for us all the way, but that nasty woman followed us like a hyena, and we dropped a lot of bait, but the other party was not deceived at all." Goul Gula then turned to Amelia.

"You know how much of a sensation you've caused by the Myitanovirus that you've deliberately spread from Sicily, and you know what you're doing!" Amelia shouted disgruntled at Goyle and Bloup.

"This is what the humans deserve, these lowly ······" Blapp subconsciously retorted, but when he saw Amelia's angry expression, he immediately shrunk his neck in fright.

"This is not Atlantis, you don't know how terrible humans are, and when you really understand it, you won't do such a reckless thing today." Amelia reprimanded Blapp.

"Let's hurry up, we don't have much time now, you two follow me later, I've already contacted the fleet of the shippers of the four seas, and we will take the fleet back to Atlantis then." Amelia said to the two.

"You're not going back to the human world." Goyle Gula asked Amelia expectantly.

"It's all happened, how can I continue to stay inland, let's go."

"Hmm."

Amelia Watson led the two Gula clans through an exclusive personal passage to the outside, and on the way, Bloop Gula suddenly asked Amelia what he was most curious about.

"Amelia, how did you know we were at the aquarium, I feel like you were squatting there waiting for us in advance."

"Ah, it's a long story, I'll tell you about it when I'm on board."

Amelia quickly led the two Gula clans to the private parking lot outside the exclusive passageway, which was an open-air parking lot, and she had already parked her car in advance.

"You two get in the car." Amelia asked Goyle and Bloup to sit in the back seat while she prepared to open the front driver's door.

"Goo-goo-goo-"

Amelia looked suspiciously at the beautiful pigeon that suddenly stopped at the car door, this pigeon was more beautiful than any pigeon she had ever seen before.

The other party was tilting his head and staring at her with ruby eyes.

"Pigeons?"

"Goo-goo-goo-"

The pigeon barked at her a few times, and then she saw that the other man's body began to swell violently.

"Amelia, be careful!!"

Goyle's voice rang out from the side, and the other man suddenly rushed over and hugged him.

And at that moment, a dazzling light lit up.

Boom ———

The explosion shattered the entire car.

"Ahhh , right, right. ”

Amelia looked at her empty right arm and wailed in pain, her right hand had been shattered just now.

At this time, the back of Goul Gula on her body was already blurred with flesh and blood.

“··· Gower, Bloup. ”

"Ahem, Amelia, I'm fine."

Bloop's figure stepped out of the smoke-emitting abandoned car, his body looking bloody but recovering from his injuries.

"It's those damn mongrels."

Goyle slowly stood up, his body beginning to swell, fierce fangs protruding from his mouth, and he stared at a man and a woman walking in front of him with a wild gaze.

"As a human being, you're hanging out with the Sea, the Deep Sea Church? The Sharks? ”

"Amelia Watson, what do you belong to?"

The cold woman with white hair and red eyes in her hand asked Amelia Watson with two blades of the giant sword in her hand.

"Goyle, Bloup, hurry up..."

Amelia shouted at Goyle and Bloup in pain from the loss of her arm, as the Deep Sea Hunter rushed towards the two Gula clans with his greatsword in hand.

Qiang –

Blood dripped down the face of the terrified Amelia, and Bloup's skull roller was nearby.

"Ahh

Damn it!!!

Amelia pulled out a unique pocket watch from her bosom, and just then, a black ball of light struck her.

[Medusa! 】

Amelia Watson found herself unable to move, and the muffled sound of the sword sounded again, and Goyle Gula had been cut in two by the giant sword.

A handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked up to Amelia, who was full of resentment and madness, and he crouched down and snatched the pocket watch from the other's hand.

This is a quaint old pocket watch.

Smack-

The cover of the pocket watch was pulled open by the blonde youth's fingers.

White dial, black hands.

At this time, the clockwork of the pocket watch was not yet in good condition, and something strange happened, and the pocket watch that was not wound up began to rotate slowly.

Xia Xiu's right hand was hot again, and he said to himself in a very helpless tone:

"Tsk, I knew it wasn't that simple."

"Miss Amelia Watson, see you next week, if you remember me."

Carried away by hatred, Amelia Watson saw the blonde young man smile and said to her, she had regained her mobility, and the first thing she did after regaining her mobility was to sing a song in chant.

"The lonely maiden mourns,

Her lover is gone—"

Tick Tick –

As the ticking of the hands grew louder and louder, everything around them began to recede rapidly.

··········

Brussels-Bercel shopping street.

Noon: 12:00

[The lonely girl is sad,

Her lover is gone—]

The melodious singing voice came to Xia Xiu's ears, and he was standing under the bell tower at this time.

Xia Xiu looked at the time flowing above, listening to the music in his ears, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Now, let's start sorting out the intelligence.

Baseline correction: Amelia Watson will flee Brussels with Goul Gula and Bloup Gulla.

Premise 1: Amelia Watson was already aware of the existence of [Timeline Narrative].

Premise 2: The [Timeline Description] was caused by the prop, Amelia Watson is the first owner of the prop, and [Final Consequence] has been subconsciously identified by Amelia Watson, and now [Final Consequence] is defaulted to [Escape from Brussels, Return to Atlantis].

Premise 3 (Guess): Amelia Watson doesn't necessarily have all the other timeline memories, and she needs to do some preparation if she wants to get the memories of the previous reset timeline.

Aftermath: Added [Aftermath B], [Consequence B] Amelia Watson recognized Goyle and Blopp but did not escape the hunt. When this consequence is triggered, time rewinds, and when it goes back to the current time period, the music playing in the square is "Sad Woman Alone".

Xia Xiu walked straight to the front, and in front of him was the music playback master control station.

So now, it's time to experiment with my guesses.

··········

"Ahh

Covered in a cold sweat, Amelia Watson woke up from her private room, and in a panic, she took out a quaint pocket watch from her arms, and then hurriedly wound it.

"Whew-"

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief when she had done this, and she began to listen quietly to the singing outside.

Now just wait for the song to finish, and then time will go back again, and [memory] will come back again.

[The lonely girl is sad,

Her lover - 呲呲呲——]

Bang Dong –

Amelia Watson suddenly rose from her seat, and shouted out in an impatient tone:

"Jane, didn't I say that the music in the square must not be accidental!!

Nothing responded.

Pedal Pedal –

Slow footsteps came from the other direction in the private room, and she looked back in horror.

"Ma'am, this is week 2. Oh no, it's week 1.5 and week 2 is the next round. ”

A young man with blond hair and golden eyes appeared in front of her, and the other party's right hand was slowly pulling something out of the ripples of space next to her.

"You ·······"

Zizizi——

Amelia's head was rolling to the ground with an incredulous and dazed head, her pupils last reflected in the blonde youth holding a delicate chainsaw sword, and the other's lips were slightly open, as if to speak·······

See you next week, ma'am.

Tick tick –

An eerie sense of distortion resurfaced.

When Xia Xiu opened his eyes again, he was under the bell tower.

The time slot at this moment is: 11:00.
