The only similarity between the two at first was the emerald ring, but during the battle in White Ape Canyon, Shade's moonfire after transforming into a silver wolf scorched the opponent's entire face, which was a permanent injury; in the end,
Miss Olanode's "Witch's Secret Technique - Arrow of Night" appeared and penetrated the monster's right eye, causing damage, which added new identical characteristics.
So Shade suspected that the monster that came from the end of the world last week was the man he met two months ago.
It's just that the order in which Shade met the other party was reversed. From Shade's perspective, he first met him two months ago, and then met him again last week; but from the monster's perspective, what it experienced should be first
After escaping from the apocalypse, he met Shade. After being defeated, he entered the time rift. After experiencing a lot of things, he regained his sanity a little. Then he appeared from the cupboard and came to about two months ago, and was captured at that time.
Shade, Grace and Helen work together to solve the problem.
One person goes down the river and the other goes upstream, but they can still meet twice. This is the interesting thing about the long river of time.
In order to verify this possibility, Shade asked Sister Devlin for help. Grace and Helen, who heard Shade's guess, also helped identify the details of the brief battle two months ago.
The corpse was obviously still in the state of a toy. Shade didn't want to dirty the Radiant Messenger, so he restored it in the woods beside Lake Ulen.
Because "Toy Manufacturing" has a certain preservation function, the body has not decayed yet.
While Sister Devlin stood in the snow and looked down at the body, Shade knelt on one knee on the snow and touched the body's burned face with a surprised expression with his hand.
He couldn't feel the remaining power of the moon fire through this, but the special ability to sense the power of flames given by Chu Huo still allowed him to realize that the reason for the formation of this burned face was indeed not due to ordinary power.
Then he touched the right eye of the corpse with his hand. There was no eyeball in the black right eye, but the chaotic power of time and space still remained. When Shade concentrated his attention, he finally felt the energy from the night on the rotting skin around the eye socket.
The traces are indeed the injuries caused by the "Arrow of the Night".
"Sister, can you tell anything about this body?"
Shade stood up and washed his hands with the water Helen summoned before asking. The nun standing in the snow nodded lightly:
"This corpse has experienced a very long time. It has spanned at least three thousand years. The corpse is not disguised in any way. What we see now is its true appearance.
But a large number of strange forces have deformed and twisted this corpse, and he must be different from his original shape, appearance and other physical characteristics."
In other words, Shade cannot judge who he was during his lifetime through this corpse:
"Sister, if you saw this corpse alive, would you be able to identify it? I suspect that at this point in time, the person corresponding to this corpse is still in a normal state."
But this time the nun still shook her head:
"Although the power of the doomsday has dissipated, it has also permanently affected him. He is completely different from the person he was before entering the doomsday."
"Sister, can you try to channel his soul? We didn't crush his soul at first."
Grace asked the nun again, but Sister Devlin still couldn’t do it:
"His soul has not reached its end, nor has it stayed in the world of the living. He signed a contract with a certain existence during his lifetime. When he dies, his soul automatically belongs to the other person."
"That's it"
Shade was thoughtful, but he didn't think this was the work of a demon. There shouldn't be a second powerful demon in the big incident in the Vista Grove. He now has a suspect, and if this guess is right, there are many
Everything can be explained, but this guess is too bizarre:
"It's basically certain that this corpse from two months ago is the monster that escaped from the crack last week, but he and I should have encountered it more than twice."
He squinted at the corpse and said softly:
"Perhaps my third encounter with him has not yet appeared, nor has his first encounter with me. I am moving forward with time towards the future, while he is swimming upstream in the long river of time."
"I know who sir is suspecting!"
Helen in the black dress smiled and raised her hand and said, and Shade reached out and touched her hair affectionately:
"Don't say it for now, it won't be interesting. In short, the matter of this corpse is over for now. Grace, Helen, since you have time, go to the city with the nun. I want the nun to take a look at Banner.
The death date of everyone in the Te family.”
"Sir, is it the family protected by the tree?"
Grace asked, and Shade nodded:
"Yes, so I'm not sure how many things the nun can see. Anyway, let's give it a try first. You should also be careful. If something goes wrong, leave immediately."
Of course there would be no danger for the twelve-ring Death Chosen One to go out with the Red Butterfly Twins. It only took them more than an hour to return from the city, and the nun brought two pieces of news:
"Including the boy who does not have the blood of the Bennet family and Mrs. Bennet, I cannot tell the death date of the five members of their family. Grace and Helen went with me to see Linda, who is now a church nun.
Bennett, I could see her eventually dying of the flu, many years later.
However, among the five members of the Bennet family, Mrs. Bennet's vitality is the most fragile."
"So it's not that Bennet's bloodline is special, but that their family itself is special. Once they are removed from the family, it means losing the blessing of the tree?"
The second message was seen by Grace and Helen. Although the characteristics of the relics became weaker and weaker after the two sisters became the chosen ones in space, this does not mean that those characteristics have really weakened:
"That boy must be a twin."
Grace said with certainty, of course Shade knew this news, and the real news brought by the twin girls was actually——
"Sir, you know where the soul of the boy's twin sister is, right? If you allow us to use the power of the relic - the red butterfly twins, we can use the connection between the soul and the boy to restore the boy's past memory.
These twins have a difficult and difficult fate. Now, although one of them has died, she still bless her brother. Before you meet us again, we must take care of this kind of thing."
"Restore Albert Bennet's memory?"
In this way, the secret of why the child appeared in the Bennet family was revealed:
"No problem, I asked Tifa to contact Margaret. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Tonight, tonight I will go to the time transfer station to meet the masked man, and then go to 1821. Although what happened in the time transfer station
It only happened in an instant, but it also took time for the masked man to get there and back.
You take this opportunity to go to the Bennet family's house and try to contact the boy. Of course, if the boy is not in the room, then you can think that he is actually the masked man."
But Shade believes that this possibility is extremely low, and the real masked man is most likely Mr. Bennet.
Margaret also wanted to participate in tonight's action. She wanted to hear with her own ears about her half-sister and younger brother. Grace and Helen didn't have any objections to this, and the two sisters agreed to take them with them.
He went to Margaret and protected her, which made the blonde princess, who had been feeling very guilty recently that she was the only one who didn't board the Radiant Messenger, feel even more uncomfortable.
During the day on Tuesday, Shade had been talking to Miss Olanold and Emilia about the Fifth Era, and by the way, he tested Emilia's current combat level.
"Ah? Do I want to fight Shade this time?"
The elf looked at Shade pitifully, and then whispered:
"Can you please be gentler later? I'm afraid of pain."
This made Shade think that he was doing something bad to her.
The anomalies in the Vista Woodland also continued to occur on Tuesday. Snowflakes began to fly over the woodland again around 10 a.m., and the unusual thing about this snow was that it only covered the Vista Woodland and left the forest area.
There was no more snow after that.
When the snowflakes first appeared, it could only be regarded as moderate snow, but by noon it turned into a blizzard. Shade had originally wanted to discuss the key to flying ability with Bella, who had also learned the ability to fly not long ago. The countess had even invited Shade to spend the afternoon
Sometimes she wanted to fly around in the woods, but with such heavy snow, she had no choice but to give up.
During lunch, Iluna once again sent a letter from the church to the ship. In addition to informing Luvia of the current preparations of the church, the letter also included two coin-like relics. However, Luvia saw from the letter that
The reason Iluna is so busy is not because the church gave her many relics. She seems to be improving her own power, which makes the purple-eyed fortune teller very happy.
That is, around lunch, over the forest in the southwest of the city, dozens of dark cracks suddenly appeared in the sky amidst the silvery white snowflakes. Immediately, they flew out of two of the cracks. Even the church could distinguish them for a moment.
I don’t know what kind of monster it is.
The church's team immediately attacked, and a battle broke out between the two sides in the sky southwest of the woodland. The monsters that were finally defeated did not leave their bodies behind, but turned into smoke and disappeared.
It's just that the cracks in the sky still exist. The cracks themselves are pitch black and cannot be seen through, but as time goes by, some phantoms of the past woodlands appear in the sky surrounding the cracks.
The professors at the college believe that those phantoms are the scenes of time behind the crack, and those monsters do not come from the time and space behind the crack, but from the "narrow space of time" between time. If the crack is not controlled, what will happen next?
There's definitely more to come directly to today's era.
