Odd Containment Specialist

Back in the dormitory, Xia Shou opened the Death Record Note again and took a look. The handwriting on the note became clear again.

He was stunned for a moment, and then turned to the page he had not finished reading last time without hesitation.

The note had finished what it had not finished saying last time.

[If you want to see the evidence, go to Merlin's House. In the study room where you first woke up, after pulling open the second drawer from the left to the right of the bookshelf cabinet, press the bottom of the drawer hard, and the bookshelf will move away. There is a door behind it. Alice can help you open that door, and there are all the truths you want to know in the door.

But that doesn't make any sense. ]

"Alice!"

"Master Xia Shou, I'm here."

"I'm going back to Merlin's House."

Xia Shou did not hesitate. He didn't care whether the truth was credible or suspicious. He had to see it now.

Alice held the door handle of the toilet, and after opening the door, the entrance of Merlin's House appeared in front of Xia Shou.

Xia Shou walked past those strange-looking doors and went straight back to the study room where he first traveled through. He opened the second drawer from the left to the right under the bookcase mentioned in the Death Record Notes and pressed the bottom of the drawer hard.

Click!

The bookcase in front of him moved smoothly, revealing the dark door hidden behind it.

It was a black door as transparent as jade, with a square outline and smooth as a mirror. There was no door handle to hold on the surface, and there was no gap. If it was not known in advance that it could be opened, it would be difficult to call it a door.

At first glance, it looked more like a complete jade plate.

"Alice..."

Alice understood, and her transparent hands pressed on the stone plate, and then a very thin crack appeared in the center.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of rocks rubbing against each other, the dark entrance opened in front of Xia Shou.

Xia Shou raised his foot and crossed the boundary of the door. The light behind him seemed to be cut off by an invisible force, but the internal environment was clearer.

There was no obvious boundary or wall here, but Xia Shou saw an old-fashioned wooden dining table with empty plates, knives, forks and chopsticks on it. A burning candle was inserted in a golden candlestick and stood in the middle of the table. The flame was already quite weak.

"This place gives me a... very familiar feeling." Alice took the initiative to speak.

Xia Shou frowned slightly, walked to the dining table, stretched out his fingers and gently wiped the edge of the table.

For some reason, he also felt that this place was inexplicably familiar.

Walking around, although every step felt solid, the farther they walked, the slower they distanced themselves from the table, as if the farther they were from the table, every step they took, there would be an invisible force that would pull them back without their awareness, so that they would never go deeper into the darkness.

As a last resort, Xia Shou had to go back to the dining table and sit down on the chair.

"Is this the evidence the notes said?" Xia Shou asked himself suspiciously.

Or is this table actually some kind of abnormal body with extraordinary power?

Xia Shou accidentally saw the black mosquitoes and flies floating on the top of the candlelight. Something was moving in a hazy particle state at the edge of the pale golden candlelight.

Looking closely, he saw a word - "I".

At this time, he realized that the words floating above the flames were Chinese characters!

He put his face close to the candlelight and held his breath to look at the words surrounding the light source. The separated Chinese characters seemed to have no connection with each other, but they were closely connected. Xia Shou could see at a glance that this word and that word were connected together, and they formed a sentence together.

As Xia Shou's attention was fully focused, those words as thin as mosquitoes and flies, much smaller than the mountain word at the bottom of the eye chart, slowly enlarged in his field of vision and turned into a sentence: [I think this is not the first time I have traveled through time. ]

"Alice, can you see it?"

Xia Shou's voice was very soft, for fear that the airflow caused by his speech would disturb the flames and blow away these tiny words.

"Well, Lord Xia Shou, I saw it too." Alice replied softly.

Xia Shou frowned in confusion and began to focus on other sentences.

Then, he saw more incomprehensible sentences.

…

…

In the blink of an eye, Xia Shou found himself standing in the study of Merlin's House again.

It was just that he was facing the black jade door before, but now he was facing the black jade door with his back, as if he had walked out of the door.

Xia Shou felt a sharp pain on the inside of his arm. He raised his hand and saw that there was a line of words spelled out by the wound on his arm.

[You have been in, and you took the initiative to forget everything. In addition, you can absolutely trust Shangguan Yan and protect her well.

Live well in this world. Everything before you crossed over does not exist at all. Live in the present. 】

Xia Shou read this line of words over and over again, frowning.

Is this the uncertain evidence mentioned in the notes?

The message does fit the "credible and suspicious" mentioned in the death record notes. After all, he can't confirm whether the wound was left by himself after entering the door.

But what about the above statement that Shangguan Yan can be absolutely trusted?

"Master Xia Shou, I will sleep for a while after I return this time. Please devour some more anomalies so that I can wake up faster." Alice said.

"Well, have a good rest. Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Shou returned to the dormitory from the dormitory bathroom door and said to his notebook: "The evidence you mentioned is the line of words that suddenly appeared on your hand after entering?"

[What’s the extra line? 】

"What it says is that I have gone in, and said that I can absolutely trust Shangguanyan, and that everything before I traveled through time did not exist. It is completely different from what you said." Xia Shou said.

After a few seconds, the note began to reply, as if it didn't know how to answer just now.

[That’s why I said I’m not sure if it’s credible, but I think…there’s something wrong with that door.

Maybe something happened inside that door during a time period that I don't know about. Otherwise, you would never have written the words "Shangguan Yan is absolutely trustworthy" inside.

This sentence itself is ambiguous. She can indeed believe it, but she is definitely not a good woman.

She is very bad, downright bad in some aspects, you must always pay attention to her, don't treat her as a companion, it is better to treat her as a transaction object.

Always keep in mind that you are just using each other, so that you will not be betrayed by her. 】

This statement is a bit suspicious, and the notes don’t seem to know much about what is in that door.

"Then what does it mean to protect Shangguan Yan?" Xia Shou continued to ask.

In his opinion, Shangguanyan didn't look like someone who needed his protection at all.

I don't have the strength to protect the other party.

[There must be something wrong with that door, and I don’t think there’s anything right with this message. 】

Xia Shou's thoughts became even more confused.

There is no shortage of problems, but more problems.

He sighed, closed the note with a snap, and threw it back into the drawer.
