Shade just watched the young lover's "written conversation" from the sidelines, but until the conversation between the two ended, little Kaming said goodbye to his lover and left the room, and the so-called "passage" did not appear.
Shade did not follow him this time. Instead, after he left, he took out the locked book and placed the time key against the door on the cover of the book.
So the key was inserted directly into the book:
"That's okay. The book itself is made of wood, so in addition to the most primitive form of the 'tree hole', can the existence form of the time tree hole also be a product made of trees?"
Then I thought about what the cabinets, wooden doors and the cover of this book have in common:
"The concept of 'door' still needs to exist. May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."
With a slight twist, the lock rotates with a click——
【Outlander, you have opened a "twisted tree hole". 】
[Tips from the Father of the Infinite Tree:]
[Using the normal time key to open the door will connect to the following time point: 1802, the sixth era of the present world.]
[Note, any life other than you who uses this channel will be cursed by time. 】
[Note that you can enter the past twenty minutes through the abnormal channel here, and you must return through this channel after the time is over. 】
[Note, after using the key to open the door here twice, the passage will completely collapse. 】
The cabinet connects three different times 1698, 1763 and 1814, the wooden door connects 1821, and the book only connects 1802.
"It's really a love that transcends time."
Shade didn't know what to say for a moment.
But he hasn't decided yet whether to take the book away. The witch has already investigated and found out that the name of Baron Cumming's mother is Erica Cumming, and the fact that little Cumming is Sir Cumming's father has already been revealed to him.
According to the observed facts, in the past time, little Cumming had to complete the work of "impregnating Erica Cumming" in order to achieve a closed time loop.
Time in the material world has spontaneous error correction. If little Cumming does not complete this task now and Shade takes the book away, then sooner or later little Cumming will get it back or even find another tree hole.
Therefore, taking away this book may cause some trouble for yourself. The best way is to confirm whether the actual lover of little Cumming's nominal grandmother was pregnant in 1802, and then make a decision.
【So are you leaving for 1802 now?】
Twenty minutes is actually very short, and even if we set off, it will only be a short journey.
"Would you like to talk to Miss Danister and the others? Although I don't think there will be any danger, eh?"
Xia De suddenly covered his chest and groaned, then turned his head towards the window in surprise:
"The 'Thorn of the Moon' I set near the wooden door I found yesterday has been broken!"
This thaumaturgy will only be automatically lifted when the next dark night falls, and the backlash of some thaumaturgy he feels now is clearly a violent crackdown:
"Miss Daniste is disobedient and wants to use that door alone? No, Miss Daniste knows that once the thorn bush is violently broken, there will definitely be a reaction on my side. Even if she wants to explore the door without telling me
The door will never be cracked violently like this."
Outside the window is a clear blue sky and clouds as white and soft as cotton candy in the autumn morning. The window faces the direction of the Accordion Hotel in the city center:
"It looks like something happened, but isn't Miss Adele Isabella over there? What are they doing?"
He turned to look at the notebook on the desk, stuffed it back into the drawer and restored it to its original state, then jumped out of the window, only to quickly jump back into the window again.
Holding the window sill with one hand, Shade looked at the decoration hanging above the bed in disbelief.
23-year-old James Cumming is quite tasteful. His bedside is decorated with five "crosses" symbols made of 10 crossed arrows, and a photo frame hangs between the arrows.
Although Shade glanced at this place after entering the room just now, most of his attention was still on James Cumming and the book. When he was about to leave, he glanced again, and he clearly saw something remarkable in it:
"Why is this here?"
The ten arrows are not exactly the same in style, and this difference and asymmetry make this wall more beautiful. The shape of one of the arrows is very familiar to Shade. It is clearly the "antique" that the mysterious elf in the forest asked him to find.
Elf Arrow".
He walked to the wall and gently picked off the wooden arrow, confirming that the seals on the arrow were indeed ancient elven runes, but the arrow itself seemed to be just an ordinary item:
"What a coincidence, why did you find the arrow here?"
Thinking about it, he took out the "Antique Elf Arrow" model that Miss Elf in the Forest gave to Shade when he and Miss Winslet went to the old Bennet house to investigate. Except that the model was slightly heavier, the wood of the model was the same as that of "Antique
Except for "Elf Arrow", the two are almost identical.
He didn't take the book away because he was worried about the stability of time, but Shade didn't have so many worries about the arrow.
The real antique elf arrows were turned into toys and put away, and the model arrows were hung on the wall again. Then he jumped up and transformed into a red butterfly and landed on the roof across the street. The silver cat quickly jumped from roof to roof, even in this world.
Isabella was at the Accordion Hotel, and he could not leave Miss Denister alone.
When Shade stood downstairs at the Accordion Hotel, people were still coming and going on the Golden Music Avenue and there was nothing unusual. Looking up, everything was normal in the hotel, and it was impossible to tell that anything was happening here.
The badge on Shade's chest didn't have a very high temperature at this time. Not to mention the high temperature when the two great witches appeared at the same time, it didn't even reach the temperature when Miss Winslet appeared alone. At most, it was only at the level of the witch apprentice nearby:
"Are they out?"
There were no traces of unusual elements or spirits outside the hotel, and I didn't feel anything after climbing the stairs.
But when Shade used the "spatial perception halo" to determine the spatial structure, he found that Miss Denister's Room 317 and Miss Winslet's Room 321 were both blank in perception. It was not shielded by some force.
Instead of his perception of the room, those two rooms actually "do not exist" in terms of space.
"Sure enough, something happened."
When we arrived on the third floor, the entire corridor was filled with a layer of mist. It was a bit like the cold mist coming from a newly opened cold storage, but ordinary people walking through the corridor at this time seemed not to notice it.
This kind of anomaly.
The doors of the two ladies' rooms were closed tightly. Miss Charlotte Bell, the witch's apprentice, and another lady whom Shade couldn't name were standing in front of the door of Room 321. They saw Shade at once:
"This way!"
Shade walked over quickly and discovered that the unusual white mist overflowed from the cracks in the doors of Room 321 and Room 317.
"The lady entered the room with the Excellency. At first, everything was normal. At about 10:10, the lady asked me to change a pot of tea. When I came back, it was like this."
The black-haired witch apprentice shook the doorknob:
"We couldn't open the door at all. I asked other people to spread out around the hotel, and the outside world couldn't observe the abnormality here. We tried to break the walls from the left and right and the upper and lower rooms, but after breaking the walls and ceiling, what appeared was a white mist.
It’s a space that no one dares to walk into.”
In order not to attract attention, she did not let everyone here. At this time, standing next to her was a lady with a high ring.
"Isabella is in there too?"
"Yes."
Miss Charlotte Bell ignored Shade's lack of honorifics and nodded quickly.
Shade then stretched out his hand to hold the door handle and tried using the "Door Key", but found that the thaumaturgy did not work at all. This only meant that the door in front of him was no longer a door at all, and therefore no longer had the ability to "lock"
concept.
"Since Miss Winslet and the lady entered room 321, what is the situation in room 317?"
Shade asked again, and Miss Bell shook her head hurriedly:
"I don't know. The three ladies were originally talking together at No. 317."
It only took her a second to decide whether to divulge information about the ladies' conversation:
"The lady from 317 and my teacher originally wanted to persuade the lady to help achieve free time travel again, but the lady refused and asked them to wake up. Then the lady tried to break the curse
, because he was worried that the curses of the two would affect each other, so he took the teacher to Room 321 first.
After I discovered something was abnormal in room 321, I immediately went to 317 for help, and then I found that the door could not be opened."
The black-haired girl said and grabbed Shade's hand. Her hand was obviously colder than ordinary people:
"Sir, the lady said that you must stay for lunch. If you don't agree, we can't explain it."
After the resident walking behind him walked down the stairs, Xia De asked again:
"Did the fog on both sides come out at the same time?"
The fog at this time was quite thin, and most of it settled close to the floor of the corridor. Miss Bell and the ten-ringed lady who let go of Shade's hand were both startled:
"Sorry, what fog?"
"Can't you see it? Please wait a moment."
Shade lowered his head and took a deep breath and then held it in, allowing the mist sucked into his body to be fully felt. Two or three seconds later, "she" whispered softly:
[The components of these fogs cannot be identified. This is not a real fog, but the impact of time on space after some kind of time confusion. 】
"Then I understand."
As he spoke, he took out the time key that Miss Danist gave him yesterday. He was about to aim at the door of Room 321 in front of him, but then he thought that there was a lady inside that he couldn't see at this moment:
"The lady beside Miss Winslet has high security, so I will go to 317 first to check the situation."
He explained to the two ladies around him that although they all hoped that Shade would solve Miss Winslet's situation first, they also knew that what he said made sense.
