Chapter 487: Chapter 173: Mysterious Regression !
That’s the best Leonard Churchill could assu.
He pondered for a bit, then reminded, “Elder Clinton, if we disappear again next ti, please make sure to tell the four words ‘Ti Retrospection1 as soon as you find us.”
Elder Clinton gave him a puzzled look, “Huh?”
Leonard Churchill didn’t want to explain anything complicated.
This old man’s mory isn’t good, it would be great if he could rember these four words.
As he walked, he repeatedly reminded Elder Clinton, “Rember to say ‘Ti Retrospection!”‘
Elder Clinton couldn’t understand, but he nodded in agreent nonetheless.
A mournful sound…
The roar of the train sounded.
Leonard Churchill and the others stepped off the train.
Finally, in front of them, it’s not the unending sight of the Stygian River Water.
In the dark mountainous shadows at the edge of their vision, there seed to be many ancient buildings.
“Ah… we’ve finally arrived.”
“Yeah, I can’t believe we took a train…”
Upon getting off the train, Leonard Churchill, clutching the bronze snake in his hand, didn’t have ti to reflect on his feelings.
As the group was chatting, at that mont, a voice that sounded like a duck quacking hollered from a distance, “Ti Retrospection! Ti Retrospection!”
Leonard Churchill and the others watched as a sleazily postured figure ran towards them from the dark distance, instantly on high alert.
There has been no living creature in these ruins for thousands of years; this one is probably not human.
But the voice is familiar…
However, before they could act, they were surprised to find that the man with the gap-toothed smile running towards them from a distance was no other than Elder Clinton!
Leonard Churchill and the others got goosebumps.
But as they looked back, Elder Clinton’s figure was nowhere to be seen!
But he had just gotten off the train with them, hadn’t he?
Before the three of them could figure out what was happening, Elder Clinton ran up to them and said, “Leonard, you asked to tell you ‘Ti Retrospection’!”
He then muttered to himself, “This damn place has changed back again. Huh… why would I say ‘again’?”
When Leonard first heard these four words, he was bewildered.
But after a glance at Elder Clinton who had suddenly popped out of the ruins, Leonard gave it more thought, and it only took him a second to understand.
He stood there, stupefied as if struck by lightning.
He realized… They may have been trapped in a bizarre ti domain!
And only Elder Clinton, the bug who’s unaffected by ti, can deliver the ssage.
Different thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still asked for confirmation, “Elder Clinton, are you sure… this is what I asked you to say?”
Elder Clinton, in the most confident tone he’d ever heard, said, “Yes! You said when you guys disappear again, let tell you these words when I see you.” Again?
Leonard flinched at the sound.
He had a feeling that sothing was off.
But he knew he had said it, so he understood.
These four words carry a lot of information!
On the other hand, Catherine Carter and Colin were a beat slower, feeling a chill creep up their spines at that very mont.
What on earth was happening?!
They were desperate to know.
The four of them walked towards the dark depths of the ruins.
After asking a few more questions, Leonard Churchill had a rough idea of what had happened.
They had actually arrived at the ruins of Sumr Shepherd City three or four days ago.
But due to “Ti Retrospection”, their mories and circumstances returned to the instant they got off the train.
It’s like a story that has turned several pages, but suddenly turned back, starting from the beginning.
Leonard Churchill and the others are characters in this story.
When the pages turned back, their stories began anew, rembering nothing.
Elder Clinton, however, was an exception.
He is less like a character in a book, and more like extra notes scribbled on the storybook by so mysterious hand.
“Elder Clinton, when did we arrive?”
“Two or three days… or maybe four days ago? I don’t rember very well.”
“So… Elder Clinton, what did we do in the ruins yesterday?”
“I… I forgot… Anyway, I thinkwe just wandered around the city…”
As they went along, Leonard Churchill kept asking questions.
As expected, Elder Clinton couldn’t provide any useful clues.
Leonard Churchill also found that in the ti loop, Elder Clinton’s mory loss symptoms seed to have gotten worse.
However, even this small piece of information was enough.
Leonard Churchill knows that given his personality, he would have left a clue for himself upon discovering the problem with this Mysterious Realm.
Entering the city might reveal so clues.
But he inoculated himself, saying, “If ti rewinds again, Elder Clinton, please be sure to tell ‘Ti Retrospection’ again.”
Elder Clinton accepted this much more easily this ti, “Oh.”
Listenting to the bizarre conversation between Leonard Churchill and Elder Clinton, none of the others could get a word in edgeways.
The convoluted reasoning coupled with the eerie ti-reversal Mysterious Realm was enough to bewilder even the astute Catherine Carter.
But Leonard Churchill remained calm.
If he had survived at least two cycles, it ans there is no direct fatal threat in these ruins, right?
But being reset every day seems like a deadlock already.
This is not a problem that power or abilities can solve.
Having fallen into it, he’s not the type to fret about predicants.
On the contrary, he was rather excited about the mystery of this ti-loop Mysterious Realm.
“Elder Clinton, did I leave anything for you?”
“No.”
“Think again?”
“Even if I think it over, no. Ah, ah, ah, don’t rummage through my pockets, there’s nothing in this old man’s possession…”
