The doctor who still put his hand on the sleeping man's forehead was startled:
"Time travel? No, no, your imagination may be a little too rich.
Of course it's not time travel. Detective, the first step to atone for one's sins is to accept one's past self and accept the reality, rather than trying every possible means to say, 'This never happened.' You have to work hard to make up for your mistakes and sincerely repent.
It's atonement.
The young man in front of us did a very good job. He wrote a letter explaining in detail the various problems and contradictions in the rubbish school he attended. I mean the Northern Industrial School he attended. Is there any reason for this?
There is a lot of extraordinary content in this letter. This letter will definitely get him into trouble, but the letter was sent out last night. It is expected that it will reach the office of the police officer responsible for investigating the case this morning.
Not only that, at 11 o'clock in the morning, a reporter from Tobesk Morning News will come to investigate him. He spent a lot of money to buy a gun and now hides it in the bathroom. He will shoot himself while the reporters are taking pictures of him.
Completely blow this up.
Even if what happened in the school is not made public in the end, the two murderers will definitely be sentenced severely, and I would not be surprised if the death penalty is carried out immediately."
Dr. Schneider was amazed at this:
"Sure enough, this is the interesting thing about intelligent life. After suffering a major blow, the personality will always change.
Various tragedies have led to the current situation, but he has embarked on the road of atonement. After his death, his soul can rest in peace. When he sees his relatives in death, he should also be qualified to die with them
.”
Although Shade's goal has been achieved, he still wants to chat with the doctor a few more words:
"So what are the benefits of atonement? I'm just curious, things like soul rest should only be useful after death, right?"
The doctor smiled and said:
"The benefit? It's just to make yourself feel at ease. This kind of thing shouldn't be so utilitarian. Making a mistake is a mistake, and the so-called atonement cannot change what has happened. What we can do is face up to our mistakes, and then find ways to make up for the consequences of the mistakes.
The resulting victims.
As for atonement, this is for yourself. Don’t think that atonement can solve everything. If you have this intention, it is better to think about what mistakes you have made now, and then prevent the mistakes from being further magnified.”
He patted Shade on the shoulder:
"Let's continue looking for the next target. It's easy to find a 2-minute sin."
Shade nodded and said goodbye to the doctor in the sanatorium. There were no surprises or special gains in this morning's actions. It was just an ordinary morning.
As for Donald Gunn's plan, Schade and Dr. Schneider had no right to make choices for others, and therefore would not interfere.
But because he went to a nursing home this morning, when Shade showed up at Miss Elf's tree house with breakfast, she wasn't here, and she didn't know what she was going to do.
Shade had no choice but to put down the breakfast and continue into the city. When he met two ladies at the Accordion Hotel, they were still talking about the stories of three generations of the Cumming family:
"From a timeline perspective, the cause of this incident is undoubtedly the peace negotiation between James Cumming and Erica in the 1800s; but judging from the results, James Cumming still does not know the whole story, and most likely does not even know that he
relationship with 'father', but Sir Cumming knows everything.
So, time is a very strange thing. Once it is rashly related to the past, paradoxes are almost inevitable."
"Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions" is currently lying on the lap of the red-haired girl. It seems that they have checked this book yesterday.
"Good morning, Shade."
The ladies asked Shade to sit down together, and they seemed to be in a good mood:
"We have read this book, and the contents in it are meaningless. However, after inspection, all the pages of this book should come from the same tree. Although you think that only the cover is effective, we do not recommend that this
The cover of this book is removed separately.”
She handed the book to Shade, who flipped through it casually:
"So between last night and now, has Erica who lived half a century ago written any words? I think in the hands of James Cumming, the other person's words can be passed on."
Miss Winslet held the tea cup and shook her head, looking at Shade lowering his head to read:
"Not once did we discuss it and thought there might not be another one.
Erica Cumming and James Cumming were able to exchange information through this book. It was something that had to happen, and if you know the story, you will know what I mean."
Shade nodded:
"Of course I understand. Perhaps it is because of the existence of this unique relationship that we will get this book after a series of things happened. Even if we make a mistake in the middle, there is a high probability that this book will not appear here now. So time is really
rigorous."
This is the third tree hole that everyone has mastered. Like the first two tree holes, there is only one last chance to use them. And before he knows what will happen after using them, Shade will probably not use them again.
??????55.??????
And now the cabinets leading to three different time points and the wooden door leading to the time point where the "teacher" is located are placed in the rooms of the two ladies respectively. And even with the secret keeper-level relic [Distant Pointe Alley
] and [The Unique Lock], Shade also didn’t want any two tree holes to be put together.
After all, neither of the two relics could essentially block the power of "traveling through time", so the storage location of the third tree hole needs to be discussed.
"How about you take it home? It's just a book anyway."
Miss Danister suggested, but Shade shook his head. In his heart, he didn't want these tree holes to leave the Vista Woodland, which would spread the trouble:
"When I go back later, I will see if the elf lady in the forest is willing to help take it in. If she is not willing, I will put it in another tree hole."
It is the tree hole that connects the "hidden space", but you have to consider whether if someone emerges from it, they will accidentally discover the secrets of the hidden space and the "space maze".
"Xia De, this unusable book is not important at the moment. What is important is tomorrow.
You probably don’t plan to go alone to see the ring warlock who threatened Sir Cumming tomorrow, right? He knows about the tree hole, and even if he’s not from the Tree Hole Association, he won’t be a good person.”
The red-haired girl asked him, but Shade asked Miss Winslet:
"Did the witch in the council who knows a lot about potions say what the potion in the box is?"
The lady with black and gray hair nodded and handed the empty tea cup to Miss Bell beside her:
"I met with them in Parliament last night.
But this potion is not as dangerous as we imagined. It is just that the material contains relic derivatives, which are the stone chips of the sage-level relic [ancient stone]. The potion prepared is called [time sharing potion].
When this potion is configured, a drop of the user's blood needs to be added, and then the user needs to stay away from this potion for at least fifty years. If you drink this potion after fifty years, you can gain the lifespan of the years that the potion has experienced.
.After fifty years, you will get fifty years, and after one hundred years, you will get one hundred years."
This is easy to understand:
"The effect is so strong, what are the negative characteristics?"
"Users will do everything possible to open and drink this bottle of magic potion, which is even more uncomfortable than taking illegal drugs, so they need to suffer for fifty years and resist the urge from their body and soul all the time. This is
The effect of that drop of blood.
And if they entrust someone else to hide the potion, then they have to bear the risk that once the potion is taken by someone else, the other person will get the entire remaining lifespan of the owner of the blood in the potion. 'Time sharing'
It also means something like this."
This is easy to understand. Seeing Shade nodding, the red-haired girl also asked the witch:
"So if you hold the potion yourself, you have to be tempted all the time; if someone else holds the potion, you have to consider whether the other person will use it. So wouldn't it be enough not to tell others what it is and let others hide it?
"
Miss Danist came up with a new idea, but Miss Winslet smiled and shook her head:
"Don't try to deceive time. This bottle of potion has a magical power. Anyone who touches it will always have the urge to drink it, and this urge will become stronger and stronger over time until it becomes the same as the owner of the potion.
The feeling. This kind of resonance does not even require direct contact. It is the power of conceptualization. After all, it involves time.
In short, Baron Cumming, who traveled through time, is indeed the best candidate to hide and deliver the potion. After all, for him, he only experienced a day or two. As long as he did not drink the potion during this period, the owner of the potion would
It worked."
Shade took the bottle containing the emerald green potion on the coffee table:
"I also have an idea - if we find a stray cat now and feed it this magic potion, then when we get a long-lived cat, the ring warlock who threatened Baron Cumming will be dead?"
Miss Winslet thought for a moment:
"Theoretically, this is true, but the witch who appraised the potion for me didn't know the rate of loss of lifespan. So if the other party has a way to prevent the transfer of his own lifespan in time, he doesn't have to die immediately. Of course, the other party must be very distressed.
"
Shade shook the bottle and watched the liquid inside ripple:
"Yes, I waited for fifty years to succeed, but in the end I still fell short. Oh, I found that if this ring warlock mastered the tree hole that spanned fifty years, he could do such a thing by himself. He could travel through it at will.
One trip can add fifty years to your life, and twenty trips back and forth can add you to 1,000 years old."
The great witch of death smiled and said:
“But I think the Paradox Worm born due to this situation has a greater chance of eating him up.
And this potion is not cheap. The witch who appraised the potion said that the cost of this vial is at least eight thousand pounds, not including the relic derivatives, and many of the materials cannot be bought with money at all."
