Putting aside his undue complacency and pride, Ronald reorganized the clues of the whole matter.
A lonely information room.
The original book whose face is still unknown is the culprit that caused everything to happen.
He and Patricia went to the data room and even entered it.
The entire process was unsupervised, uninterrupted, and unstoppable.
Looking at the dust on the original book, you can understand that this thing has existed in Burrenwich Railway Station for a long time, and no one has ever discovered it.
Therefore, there is a high probability that something accidentally stimulated the magic book, which triggered the rampage of power.
In this way, the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes can be temporarily ruled out.
All he has to do is to put an end to the magic book rampage.
From the previous exploration of the two people, we can also understand that the time at Burrenwich Railway Station has been neatly...
"etc......"
Thinking of this, Ronald suddenly turned his head and looked at the train track.
I just cleaned the wound with self-reflection. Although it didn't take much time, it should have been more than 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
So--
Why hasn’t the Dongfeng come back yet?
Just now when he was being thrown around by the power of the original code, this train was still going back in time!
Could it be that some kind of change has occurred at the train station?
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Ronald returned to the edge of the platform carrying the kettle.
Then he simply jumped down.
At this moment, the Dongfeng had already disappeared from the end of the field of vision.
The winter sunshine shines in the quiet station. Only a few trains that are still being supplied are parked on the spacious platform. Without station workers working, they can only stay in place quietly.
Walk to the position where the time dividing line was previously measured in one breath.
Ronald stopped and glanced at the seemingly empty place in front of him.
He remembers it clearly.
Because when they were looking for the time division position, he and Patricia had determined the trajectory of this line many times in order to ensure the accuracy of the data.
This location is right in front of you.
"I hope things won't happen again..."
As if muttering to convince himself, Ronald handed over the kettle in his hand.
Then.
The kettle is half empty——
This precautionary measure played its intended role.
At this time, Ronald was only holding the upper half of the kettle in his hand, while the lower half was directly hidden in the air, completely missing.
Take your hand back——
The complete kettle immediately returned to the eyes, with no trace of defects visible on the surface.
This situation is exactly the same as Patricia's experiment in the data room.
"..."
"Is that so..."
Looking thoughtfully at the empty air in front of him.
Ronald made a rough estimate based on the structure of the train station in his mind, moved his position, and then stretched out the kettle.
After making sure there was no obstacle on the other side, he stepped forward.
snap——
Stand still with both feet.
What followed was a sudden change in the scenery in front of him.
Ronald was still on the train platform before, but now he was only one step away and was already in the square directly in front of Burrenwich Railway Station.
"..."
"It's really like this..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ronald couldn't help but sigh.
His previous actions have caused the time distortion in the train station to become a space distortion; and now the data room has a high probability of changing from a space distortion to a time distortion.
The time and space differences between the two have been swapped!
"well--"
"Anyway, I still have to go to the reference room first."
Ronald lowered his head and sighed, then walked towards the office building.
In any case, since the rules for dividing areas into sectors have not changed, the center position of this power will probably not change either.
Just walk inside.
The road I take to get off work every day feels completely different now.
In less than five minutes, Ronald returned to the office building he had not left for too long.
How they looked since the last time I saw them.
Neither the office building nor the database have been significantly changed.
The sun poured down diagonally from above the station, casting long shadows on the buildings and the ground. Everything around him was eerily quiet.
There is no one here either.
To be more precise, there was not even a trace of a sparrow in the empty train station, which was like the opening scene of a horror movie.
On the first floor, the door to the database is still open.
It was as if nothing had changed here since I was thrown out by the power of the magic book.
But compared to the worst case scenario.
It's actually pretty good now.
The space divided into 24 equal parts around a database was not as crowded as the room. He did not have to suffer the awkward experience of his body being divided. Ronald walked to the warehouse door intact.
After adjusting his position outside the corridor, he looked over.
Take a look at it this time.
A white-gold figure came into view.
Unlike herself who was thrown around, Patricia was in the room at the moment, also alone.
Because the distortion of space changed into time, the girl broke away from her previously divided and curious appearance, and instead stood in the room as a complete human being.
Facing the grimoire placed in front of her, the girl still frowned.
She cannot break the power of the original text.
At this time, the sound of Ronald's approaching footsteps outside the house was heard.
Patricia immediately turned her head and looked out the door:
"Ronald?"
"Why did you suddenly disappear just now?"
"My previous methods were a bit too rough, so I was thrown out by the power of the original code."
Go forward and walk to the door.
Seeing that his companion was intact, Ronald was relieved, but at the same time he did not forget to ask:
"How have you been in there during this time?"
"Any new discoveries?"
"I......"
Just as the girl was about to answer, her figure suddenly flashed in the room.
There was no process in between, she directly changed from facing Ronald to facing the grimoire.
"ha?"
A cry of surprise——
The girl jumped back suddenly, as if she had encountered something incomprehensible.
Leaving her previous position, she first looked down at her hands, then quickly looked up at her surroundings.
At this glance, Ronald, who had just walked to the door, caught his eye as he should.
Immediately, as if she had discovered Ronald standing outside the database for the first time, Patricia took two steps back before asking nervously:
"Ronald?"
"Weren't you in front of me just now? Why did you just run outside?"
"And what about the division of space in this house!"
"..."
"Patricia, calm down first!"
Looking at the defensive look on the girl's face, how could Ronald not understand the meaning of the scene in front of him.
Show your hands and take two steps back to show that you mean no harm.
Then he explained loudly:
"The distorted state in the data room and the train station has changed, and now the time in the database is going back!"
