Extraordinary pedigree

The water flowing from the public faucet covered Xia Xiu's hands. The cold underground water made his somewhat chaotic thoughts begin to return to rationality. He stretched out his hands to hold a cup of water, and then splashed the water on his face.

After calming down, Xia Xiu went to a remote bench in the park and sat down. Looking up from here, he could see the rotating clock on the bell tower.

It's 11:10, 50 minutes before Amelia Watson makes her debut.

Now, what is certain is that what he just experienced is by no means an illusion. Time has really begun to go back. So what he wants to determine now is what exactly this 'time back' consists of.

Xia Xiu raised his left hand and said in an indifferent tone:

"Overclocking!"

A blood-red interface pops up.

[Overclocking failed! ! ! 】

Xia Xiu slowly put down his left hand. Now he was sure of one thing. He was in a closed realm, that is, in a [timeline narrative] loop. The 'time backtracking' just now was not really going back in time, but It's similar to a story flashback in a game.

Although playing with time is a bit difficult on the land of Terra, it is not outrageous.

The Brussels area where he is now should be [narrated] blocked by something. Now this area is an independent [narrative layer]. Everything that happens here is based on the derivative [consequences] of what happened [basic line]. ], and the flow of time here has not actually become faster, it is just separated from the real world.

Of course, this [timeline narrative] can become a real 'time back'.

The Second Law of Thaumaturgy: The part affects the whole.

As long as the stories in the [Narrative Layer] are liberated and the deeds in this area are enough to distort and deceive the [Ether Ocean], then the world will start to run according to the direction of the stories in the [Narrative Layer].

Xia Xiu kept recalling the relevant people and deeds related to time manipulation in his mind.

The [Crimson King] has taken action..., no, this doesn't feel like his handiwork. Although he likes to narrate fate and play with time, the scale and excitement of his play are much greater than this.

Deva's [Book of Time], no, that's not right. Deva's [Book of Time] is a terrifying existence that conceptualizes time in the true sense, and [Time Narrative] is much inferior to it.

Seventy-Two Solomon... It's still early for the second expansion pack.

The thumb and index finger of Xia Xiu's left hand unconsciously began to turn the ring on the index finger of his right hand.

Atlantis, Heir, timeline narrative...

Iberia, Deep Sea Hunter...

[Promised Land], [Gaia-like Consciousness]······

Xia Xiu slowly stood up from the bench. There was currently too little information to deduce any facts. The only thing that could be assumed was that he had achieved transcendence because of the [Seal of Ion], which meant that he was in the return zone. The memory will not be formatted.

[Timeline narrative] has three necessary elements: basic line, premise, and consequence (ending).

Information known so far:

Baseline: Suspected to be related to Hai Hei?

Premise: unknown.

Consequences: When two heirs die, one of the [Consequences] will be triggered, which is now designated as [A Consequence]. Consequence A is [Narrative Dead Knot], which is the ending avoided by the initiator of [Timeline Narration]. When [Consequence A] is triggered, time will be rolled back.

And if he wants to break [time narrative], he can only think of three ways at the moment.

The first is to achieve the [final consequence] desired by the [time narrative] initiator, that is, to create a he ending. However, this he is only a good ending for the initiator, and it can only be frustrating for the participants.

The second is to figure out the [basic line] and [premise], and then carry out [strong logical deduction].

The so-called [strong logical deduction] is to force the story to develop along the inevitable ending of the basic line. Although this will also trigger time regression, as long as the number of deductions reaches the threshold, the [timeline narrative] will collapse.

The third, the purest physical method, is to repair the initiator or item.

Xia Xiu directly denied the first type. Now, at a glance, this [timeline narration] is biased towards Hai Hei. If he helps Hai He get through the ending, isn't he just looking for death?

The third type is also impossible. Thaumatologists who can carry out [Timeline Narration] are most likely crowned ones who have been blessed by the two great powers of [Deeds Spreading] and [Crown Blessing]. They are the top beings in the extraordinary world. , each one is like a walking natural disaster, it’s surprising that he can defeat them.

And if it is an item, it will be even more troublesome. Once this kind of super-standard item is triggered, it will become very uncontrollable.

So what can you do now...

Just to verify the changes brought about by [Consequence A].

Xia Xiu got up and headed to Belser Aquarium, where he wanted to test his suspicions.

··········

【Belser Aquarium】

When Xia Xiu appeared here again, he once again met Catherine Vera, who had white hair and red eyes, wearing blue smart clothes, a cape, short boots, and a wide hat on her head.

She still held the two-edged sword in her hand, and all around her were the young forms of [Gruvida] that fell to the ground and split into two halves. She was scanning the surroundings with her red eyes. It looks like a hunter looking for prey.

As expected, Haiji ran away...

[Premise] Presumption: Deep-sea hunter Catherine Vera is an evasive character, and this character is one of the driving forces that triggers time regression.

Xia Xiu pressed the top hat on his head and thought to himself.

At the same time, Catherine Vera discovered the existence of the blond young man. She held the giant sword in her hand, looked at Xia Xiu with cold eyes and asked:

"Who are you?"

The intimidation exuded by the other party was very powerful. Xia Xiu could feel that she had been aiming at his vital points. If he made any bad move, blood would be splattered on the spot the next moment.

"Hugh Abraham, an angel from heaven who happened to pass by here." Xia Xiu directly summoned the red book to identify himself.

After hearing Xia Xiu's answer, Catherine Vera's frightening red eyes narrowed slightly, while Xia Xiu took the opportunity to step forward and wait and see, and sure enough he did not find the existence of the two heirs.

"What are you looking for?" the deep sea hunter asked him.

"Those two Gula clans exist in Brussels." Xia Xiu answered directly.

After hearing Xia Xiu's answer, Catherine Vera cast her eyes on the other party. There was an inexplicable meaning in her eyes. Xia Xiu naturally knew what the other party meant, so he answered directly:

"If you believe me, please follow me to find someone. She may be the reason why the two Gula clans came to the interior."

"who?"

Xia Xiu faced the other party's red eyes and said slowly:

"Amelia Watson."

··········

Belser Commercial Street.

Amelia Watson's personal backstage at her concert.

"Goyle, why did you come to the interior?"

While Amelia Watson was packing her things, she asked questions to the shark-man in front of her who was more than two meters tall and looked similar to a human, but with gills on her cheeks.

"Blump misses you so much, I miss you too, and Blump senses that you are in danger." Gol Gula replied awkwardly.

"Bloop?"

Amelia Watson turned her attention to the somewhat shy Blum Gula. He looked like an 8-year-old human child, but like Gol Gula, he had the unique characteristics of the Chondrichthyan class. skin and gills.

"The great [Termetheus] told me that you are in danger, and we must come to save you." Blupp replied seriously to Amelia.

Amelia was stunned. She really didn't expect that the two of them came to her for such a ridiculous reason. Although she knew that Bulup Gula could listen in Atlantis [Tyrmetheus ] Whispering Prophet, but she didn't expect that these two people would actually come to the interior to look for her because of the prophecy.

"We used the [Mimu music] you made for us to cover up the whole journey, but that annoying woman followed us closely like a hyena. We dropped a lot of bait, but the other party was not deceived at all. "Gol Gula then said to Amelia.

"Do you know how much of a stir the Meme virus that you deliberately spread from Sicily caused? Do you know what you are doing!" Amelia shouted dissatisfiedly to Gower and Bloop.

"This is what those humans deserve, these despicable people..." Blupp subconsciously retorted, but when he saw Amelia's glaring expression, he immediately shrank his neck in fear. .

"This is not Atlantis. You don't know how terrible human beings are. When you truly understand, you won't do such a reckless thing today." Amelia scolded Blum.

"Let's go quickly. We don't have much time now. You two will follow me later. I have already contacted the fleet of ship merchants from all over the world. We will take the fleet back to Atlantis when the time comes. ." Amelia said to the two.

"You're not going back to the human world, are you?" Gol Gula asked Amelia expectantly.

"After everything like this has happened, how can I still stay in the interior? Let's go quickly."

"Um."

Amelia Watson led the two Gulla clansmen through the exclusive personal passage and walked outside. On the way, Blupu Gulla suddenly asked Amelia what she was most curious about. one thing.

"Amelia, how did you know that we were at the aquarium? I feel like you were squatting there waiting for us in advance."

"Ah, it's a long story. I'll tell you more after we get on the boat."

Amelia quickly took the two Gula clans to the private parking lot outside the exclusive passage. This was an open-air parking lot. She had parked her car in advance.

"You two get in the car quickly." Amelia asked Gower and Bloop to sit in the back seat of the car, while she was about to open the front driver's seat door.

"Gu Gu Gu——"

Amelia looked puzzled at the beautiful pigeon that suddenly landed on the car door. This pigeon was more beautiful than any pigeon she had ever seen before.

The other party was now tilting his head and looking at her with a pair of ruby-like eyes.

"Pigeon?"

"Gu Gu Gu——"

The pigeon called at her a few times, and then she saw the other person's body begin to swell violently.

"Amelia, be careful!!!"

Gore's voice sounded from the side, and the other party suddenly rushed over and hugged him.

And at this moment, a dazzling light lit up.

boom---

The violent explosion blew the entire car into pieces.

"Ahhh!, right..., right hand."

Amelia looked at her empty right arm with a painful expression and wailed. Her right hand had been blown to pieces just now.

At this time, the back of Gol Gula on her body was already bloody.

"... Gower, Blupp."

"Ahem, Amelia, I'm fine."

Blupp's figure walked out of the abandoned car that was smoking. Although his body looked bloody, his injuries were recovering quickly.

"It's those damn bastards."

Goyle stood up slowly, his body began to swell, and ferocious fangs protruded from his mouth. He stared at the man and woman walking in front of him with wild eyes.

"As a human being, he actually hangs out with Hai Hei. Church of the Deep Sea? Shark Gang?"

"Amelia Watson, who are you?"

The cold woman with white hair and red eyes, holding a two-edged giant sword in her hand, asked Amelia Watson.

"Goyle, Bloop, hurry up..."

Amelia endured the pain of losing her arm and shouted loudly to Goyle and Bloup. At this time, the deep-sea hunter had already charged towards the two Gula clansmen with his giant sword in hand.

Qiang——

Blood dripped down the face of a terrified Amelia, with Bloop's skull roller nearby.

"ah--"

Damn it! ! !

Amelia took out a unique pocket watch from her arms, and at this moment, a black ball of light hit her.

【Medusa! 】

Amelia Watson found that she could not move, and at this time the low sound of the sword sounded again, and Gol Gula had been cut in half by the giant sword.

A handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked up to Amelia, who was full of resentment and madness. He knelt down and took the pocket watch from her hand.

This is a quaint old style pocket watch.

Snapped--

The cover of the pocket watch was pulled open by the blond young man with his fingers.

White dial, black hands.

At this time, the pocket watch had not been wound up yet, and something strange happened. The unwound pocket watch began to rotate slowly.

Xia Xiu's right hand felt hot again, and he said to himself in a very helpless tone:

"Tsk, I knew it wasn't that simple."

"Miss Amelia Watson, I'll see you next week, if you remember me."

Amelia Watson, who was blinded by hatred, saw the blond young man with a warm smile and said to her. She had regained her mobility at this time, and just after regaining her mobility, the first thing she did was The thing is to chant a song.

"The lonely girl is sad,

Her lover is gone—"

Tick ​​tick tick tick——

As the ticking pointer turned louder and louder, everything around him began to retreat rapidly.

··········

Brussels-Berser shopping street.

Noon: 12:00

[The lonely girl is sad,

Her lover has passed away——]

The melodious singing reached Xia Xiu's ears, and he was standing under the bell tower.

Xia Xiu looked at the time passing above and listened to the music playing in his ears, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Now, let’s start gathering information.

Baseline correction: Amelia Watson will escape Brussels with Gol Gulla and Bloup Gulla.

Premise 1: Amelia Watson already knows the existence of [timeline narrative].

Premise 2: This [timeline narrative] is caused by a prop, Amelia Watson is the first owner of the prop, and the [ultimate consequences] have been recognized subconsciously by Amelia Watson, and now it will [Final consequence] defaults to [Escape from Brussels and return to Atlantis].

Premise 3 (guess): Amelia Watson does not necessarily have the memory of all other timelines. If she wants to obtain the memory of the previous reset timeline, she needs to make certain preparations.

Consequence: Added [Consequence B]. [Consequence B] is that Amelia Watson recognized the two Gullah clansmen Gower and Bloup but did not escape the pursuit. After this consequence is triggered, time goes back, and when it goes back to the current time period, the music played in the square is "A Woman Sad Alone."

Xia Xiu walked straight forward. In front of him was the music playback control station.

So now, it's time to test my guess.

··········

"ah--"

Amelia Watson, covered in cold sweat, woke up from her private room. She hurriedly took out a simple pocket watch from her arms, and then quickly wound it.

"call--"

After doing this, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, and she began to quietly listen to the singing coming from outside.

Now I just wait for the song to finish playing. Then time will go back again and [memory] will come back again.

[The lonely girl is sad,

Her lover——呲呲呲——】

Clang——

Amelia Watson suddenly stood up from her seat, and she shouted outside in an irritable tone:

"Jane, didn't I say that the music played in the square must not cause any accidents!!!"

No one responded.

Tap tap tap——

Slow footsteps came from the other direction in the private room, and she looked back in horror.

"Ma'am, this is the 2nd round. Oh, no, this is the 1.5th round. The 2nd round is the next round."

A young man with blond hair and golden eyes appeared in front of her. His right hand was slowly pulling something out from the ripples in the space next to him.

"you·······"

Sizzling——

Amelia's head rolled on the ground with disbelief and confusion. The last thing reflected in her pupils was the blond young man holding an exquisite chain sword. The other person's lips were slightly opened, and it seemed as if he was saying... ·····

See you next week, ma'am.

Tick ​​tick tick tick——

The weird distortion emerged again.

When Xia Xiu opened his eyes again, he was under the bell tower.

The time period at this moment is: 11:00.
