The future is not changing.

Because from the moment Delphi returned to this old era across more than ten years, the future she had experienced has become one of the many possibilities that are "still between existence and non-existence"

.

As we all know, the time turner cannot go to the future. If we look into the reason, it is naturally complicated and difficult to understand. But one of the reasons is probably the uncertainty of the future.

It is precisely based on this characteristic of time rules that Maka and Delphi have the so-called hope of "changing the future". To put it bluntly, who knows whether the world will be completely wiped out in the next second?

No, maybe Maka, who owns the stone ball, can really detect those drastic changes in time rules, right?

"... From this point of view, this world may be able to divide into endless branches like tree roots according to the uncertainty of time rules. And we at this moment only belong to the branches at this moment."

"Assuming that the 'future me' I met during the Triwizard Tournament belongs to branch 'a', then when Luna survived that day, branch a was naturally closed. And suppose that the one in Delphi's memory

That 'future' belongs to branch 'b', so when Luna changes from a long-term coma to death, branch b will no longer exist. At most, there will only be some branches 'b1', 'b2', which are substantially similar to it.

b3'......"

"And we should be on a certain 'B branch' now... Well, let's call it 'B1' for the time being."

"So, it is at least theoretically possible to rescue Luna. As long as we find out how to reach a certain branch 'c' where she can survive, the problem will be solved."

In a deserted corner of the city, Maka was conducting preliminary research on the rules of time alone. He was still far from understanding things that were too in-depth, let alone doing any research, so he could only

Be able to deduce step by step starting from the most superficial parts.

Now, after going through such a series of enumerated hypotheses, Maka circled every Luna's name contained in it.

Then, I heard him couldn't help but whisper to himself:

"But why is the reference point always Luna?"

As he spoke, Maka quickly patted her forehead, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Hey, why else...isn't it because I have always focused on Luna's life and death?"

But if you say that, is it really that simple?

However, at this time, Maka did not delve into this issue, but quickly focused on the difference between "from branch b to b1" and "from branch b to c".

Obviously, this is a fact that will be observed, that is, a major change that completely changes Luna's life and death. And this change is enough to trigger the convergence of the rules of time. If he is present when the change occurs, the consequences will be

There will be no difference from the future Maka on "branch a".

Oh no, there should still be a difference. Without the protection of the three-dimensional rune array, he probably wouldn't even have time to react, and would be completely wiped out by the time rules on the spot.

Therefore, it was because the rune array had a certain degree of resistance to the rules of time that Maka put a lot of effort into making that stone ball.

If the branch change is successful...at that moment, the stone ball will inevitably disintegrate and be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Maka looked through the stone ball reactions he had recorded in the previous test and divided them into several levels according to the amplitude of each tremor.

Anyway, so far, these changing classes have not triggered forced revisions of the time rules, including the largest tremor caused by Thomas.

Although it is still far from knowing where the upper limit of this level is, Maka must keep this level table in mind because it is related to his own life.

"But doesn't this mean that I will never be able to save Luna while still surviving?"

Suddenly, Maka, who realized this, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that his research still has a long way to go!

…

Of course, not to mention Maka's painstaking research, Delphi obviously doesn't know much about purely theoretical things like this. Before using the time turner to come to this era, she also did a lot of research and

Prepared, but not as deep as Maka thought.

After all, she was never prepared to live herself from the beginning.

Now, the biggest goal in Delphi's plan has obviously gone awry.

Originally, she planned to destroy all the time turners and kill Luna to force Maka to give up the idea of ​​changing the past. But now, precisely because after Luna died, she couldn't bear to see Maka fall into

He was in pain and confusion, so he gave the other party another slap in the face unplanned.

If he had followed the original plan, Maka, who was immersed in chaos, might not be able to find the time turner hidden among the many twists and turns, but now he has found it with his clear mind.

However, apart from this incident, Delphi also has another goal that she wants to change, which is to make the war-torn world she experienced no longer exist.

At this moment, Delphi, who thought her plan had completely failed, suddenly noticed a certain possibility in Hermione!

"The future...is changing?"

When such a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, the look in her eyes when she looked at Hermione suddenly changed. Yes, even if something failed, she didn't want her trip to be completely in vain.

"Hermione"

Suddenly, Delphi asked abruptly:

"As far as I know, you like Mr. MacLean, right?"

This was the first time that Delphi directly called her by her first name instead of her last name, so Hermione was slightly startled.

Moreover, she didn't know why Delphi suddenly asked this question.

Even though this matter had not been a secret for a long time, even Herbo knew it. But when Delphi asked in front of her, there was still a slight blush at the base of her ears.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then," Delphi thought for a moment before continuing, "Miss Lovegood...although she has never said it, she should also like Mr. MacLean, right?"

"I think so."

Hermione nodded again.

Because of the interaction between the two of them just now, the distance between her and Delphi suddenly shortened a lot, so that she didn't mind answering these more personal questions.

On the other side, Delphi suddenly frowned slightly after hearing Hermione's answer.

"Hermione, maybe I am presumptuous in asking this, but... I want to know if you feel guilty for Miss Lovegood's death, so you have been worrying about certain things recently, and even deliberately suppressed them.

Cover yourself?"

After a brief pause, she continued:

"You know, although I rarely took the initiative to participate in your conversations in the past, I also watched the interaction between you and Miss Lovegood. I can feel that there is a tension between the two of you.

A confrontation that is always based on mutual respect.”

"But now, after Miss Lovegood's death, you seem to be starting to give up?"

"Well……"

Even though the two of them had become quite close during the discussion just now, what Delphi said now still felt like they had a deep understanding of each other.

After hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but open her mouth, and then asked in confusion:

"Miss Fisher, what...are you trying to say?"

In fact, Hermione had noticed some clues from Delphi's words. In her opinion, Delphi seemed to be trying to persuade her not to give up pursuing Maka because of concerns?

Hermione was undoubtedly very confused about this. Because it seemed to be a personal matter for her and had nothing to do with Delphi. Did she need to do this?

Seeing Hermione asking questions, Delphi seemed to be aware of the other party's doubts, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Just now, she suddenly thought of certain possibilities and became anxious, which in turn aroused Hermione's guard.

He obviously knew that Miss Granger was an extremely intelligent and perceptive person, so why didn't he pay attention to her?

"Oh, no...Actually, I just think that Mr. MacLean may need you to give him comfort and help." Delphi secretly considered her words before continuing, "You see, Miss Lovegood has already

After leaving, the pressure that Haierbo brought to him was so great... Although he is stronger than many people, he still needs someone to comfort him in a timely manner and help him bear the burden."

"Miss Fisher, stop talking!"

Before Delphi could finish what she said, Hermione waved her hand to stop her.

"Actually, I have thought about what you said, and it was even a belief of mine. But now Luna has used her life to tell me that those beliefs of mine are all wrong..."

"Yes, Maka may indeed need someone to share the burden for him, and someone who may be able to share the burden for him... at least it probably won't be me, Hermione Granger."

Having said this, Hermione shook her head.

There was no expression on her face, but she sighed secretly:

"I don't have that strength, and I no longer have that qualification."

Hearing what she said, Delphi couldn't help but pursed her lips and then asked:

"Since you think so, what are the anxieties and hesitations you hide in your heart?"

This sentence obviously pierced Hermione's heart directly. When the unreasonable anxiety in her heart was pierced by the other person's words, she opened her mouth several times in a row, but she was unable to say another word.

Yes! So what exactly is going on?
