Chapter Thirty-Three: Broken Time(1/2)
The sudden change in the scenery in front of her made Yin Lis feel dizzy. After covering her head and standing still for a while, she recovered from her sudden loss.
The air was filled with the smell of mold and alcohol. At this moment, she was no longer in the gorgeously furnished reception room before, but in a deep, dark tree hole made of tangled roots.
To be precise, it was deep inside a tree hole made of tangled roots that were about to die. The dry and cracked appearance of the surrounding trees reminded her of the shriveled mummies she had seen in the circus when she was a child.
etc……
It was only then that she realized that the vision in front of her at this moment was the scenery she saw with normal human eyes before she inherited the surname "Hemmer" and obtained the "Eye of God".
At this moment, his vision is no longer filled with the threads of time, the trajectory of magic, the colors of emotions, and other forms of material reality. Instead, it is the outlines, materials, colors, viewpoints, shadows... those that have been disguised by the curtain.
, the normal material world that mortals can see.
"Is this Miss Yin Lisi?"
Just when Yin Lisi was looking at it in rapt attention, a female voice called her name faintly from behind her, which frightened her and made her neck stiffen.
She turned her head cautiously, and a girl with black cloth around her eyes and a lantern with orange light in her hand was standing behind her.
The other party was wearing a neat nun's uniform, with a gloomy expression, and looked like a symbol of some unknown omen.
"Yes...Who are you? Where are you?"
She turned around warily and asked.
"The correct question should be... when is it now, and why do you know me, Miss Yinlis."
The other party said in a gloomy tone, with the expression on her face still as stiff as a dead person, and it looked like she would turn into a ghost and rush toward her in the next second.
Yin Lis, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, slowly moved his steps back, planning to find the right opportunity to run away.
But at this moment, the other party suddenly raised his left hand to cover his mouth with a puff, and then laughed non-stop.
"Hey, don't really run out. Otherwise, Sir Sibylla will scold me to death when she comes back."
"You...do you know me?"
Yin Lis, who was confused by such a sudden interruption, looked at the girl dressed as a nun in front of him with confusion, and asked very cautiously.
She was sure this was their first meeting.
The girl stopped smiling when she heard this, then dusted off her elbows and replied:
"Of course I know you, Yinlis Helmer. The last leader of the sisterhood that Lady Sibylla can see. But since you don't know me, it probably means that this is your first time meeting me, so to speak.
I’m pretty lucky, huh?”
The second half of the sentence is nonsense. Since you don't know the other person, it must be the first time you see her.
Yin Lisi thought.
But the other party said words that seemed like nonsense, and couldn't help but giggle.
Taking advantage of this moment, the broken clues began to reorganize in Yin Lis' mind.
She recalled the time weaving she had adjusted before losing consciousness; she recalled the visions she had seen about the "past"; and finally combined with the girl in front of her who called herself the "Blind Sisterhood"
"The Last Leader", one that is not difficult to guess, but sounds extremely ridiculous, may have come to her mind.
Although it is very incredible, her consciousness traveled through time and came to the era of Sibylla Homer, the first leader of the Blind Sisters.
It was as if she had occasionally experienced the illusion that Sibylla could see in the first person in her dream. In the past, she had always thought that those were just the memories left by Sibylla, but now...
Noticing the smell of alcohol that filled his nose when he breathed, Yin Lis raised his hands and lowered his head. Looking through his hands covered with calluses and flashing complex rune tattoos, he saw "his" mature chest.
And slender straight legs.
There is no doubt that her consciousness is possessing Sibylla's body at this moment.
And Sibylla's consciousness...has probably traveled to the era she lived in?
"So...what time is it now?"
Yin Lis asked in disbelief.
“How could I know what future generations would actually say about our chaotic times?”
In response, the girl shrugged and replied.
"What year is it now?"
Yin Lis continued to ask.
In response to this question, the other party showed a sly smile.
"According to Lord Sibylla's speculation, it was probably a few hundred years away from your time."
"I mean, what time is it exactly?"
Yin Lis asked.
Upon hearing this question, the other party immediately showed a "took the bait" expression, and then deliberately sighed and said:
"The question makes no sense because you can never understand that time."
"Why?"
Although he knew that he was playing into the opponent's hands by asking this question, Yin Lis still couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked.
"Because...well, if you must want to know, it is ■■■year■■month■■day on the platinum calendar."
"when?"
Yin Lis was sure that the other party had said a series of numbers, but immediately, he felt a sense of confusion in his mind, as if a dream had been forgotten.
The string of numbers disappeared from her mind, leaving not even the slightest impression.
"That was a time that didn't exist, so even if I said it directly like I just did, your mind wouldn't be able to understand it."
The blindfolded girl said this.
"What is time that does not exist? Can time still not exist?"
Yin Lis asked doubtfully.
"It will be difficult to explain clearly for a while...but it can be roughly summed up as Sir Sibylla used his talent one day to shatter a certain period of his linear causal time, resulting in endless possibilities.
Now you are in it. So you are in the future that is already certain, and we are in the past with infinite possibilities.”
"But the past time cannot have infinite possibilities."
Yin Lis retorted subconsciously.
The so-called past must be something that has been settled.
"If it is within the framework of causal time, it is indeed the case and there is nothing wrong with it."
In this regard, the other party also nodded very frankly.
Then she continued:
"But if the shackles of linear causal time are broken, then the past is not necessarily certain."
"I don't understand..."
Yin Lis still looked at the other party with a puzzled expression.
"Then let me give you the simplest example. You must have guessed that now your consciousness has been temporarily exchanged with Lord Sibylla, right? The specific principle is to use the surname 'Hemer' and the Eye of God as a
The medium, and then with the help of the activation of the power of the eighth Holy Spirit... But if under the logic of cause and effect time, you suddenly commit suicide with Lady Sibylla's body, then she will never be able to pass on the Blind Sisters.
Yes, do you think it will be like this?"
Far more than that, in this way, a greater contradiction arises - if the Blind Sisters were not passed down because of Yin Lis's suicide, then how could she have the opportunity to travel back to Sibylla?
If William were here, he would definitely shout about the grandmother paradox.
"But this is actually a very common misunderstanding. It is believed that time is a linear thing that follows the laws of cause and effect. Although most of the time, it is indeed like this, but in some special circumstances, such as now... it
It will take on different properties.”
As the girl spoke, she walked towards the depths of the tree hole with the dim lantern in her hand.
"Follow me, I will explain it to you slowly. By the way, I have forgotten to introduce myself for so long. My name is Yinlena Kane. I am the adopted daughter of Sir Sybilla Hemer, and she is also blind.
The future successors of the Eye Sisters, well, for you, I should say they are the seniors from a long time ago."
A girl named Yinlena Kane said as she walked:
"In your perception, time is exclusive, right? That is, a person cannot be here and there at the same time."
Although the other party's back was turned to him and he could not see it, Yin Lis still nodded subconsciously and replied:
"That's right."
"But this concept is one-sided."
The girl named Yin Lianna corrected her unceremoniously.
"Time is hierarchical. In addition to linear causal time, time also has cyclic time that keeps reincarnating and reciprocating, as well as countless possible eternal times running in parallel. In fact, the essence of causal time is the collection of eternal time.
End, abandoning countless other possibilities, leaving only one to become a reality. And what Lord Sibylla did was to completely crush a certain period of time, which gave rise to countless parallel and even contradictory possibilities.
"
