Whispering Poems

Chapter 2618 Time Sharing Potion
The doctor, who still had his hand on the sleeping man's forehead, was startled:
"Time travel? No, no, maybe your imagination is a little too vivid.

Of course it's not time travel, detective, the first step to atonement is to accept your past self and accept reality, rather than trying every means to say "this thing never happened". You have to work hard to make up for your mistakes and sincerely repent, this is atonement.

This young man in front of us did a good job. He wrote a letter, detailing the various problems and contradictions in the crappy school he was in, I mean the Northern Industrial School where he studied. There are a lot of extraordinary contents in it, and this letter will definitely get him into trouble, but the letter was mailed last night and is expected to arrive at the office of the police officer in charge of investigating this case this morning.

Not only that, at 11 a.m., a reporter from the Tobysk Morning News would come to investigate him. He had spent a lot of money on a gun, which he was hiding in the bathroom. He would shoot himself while the reporters were taking pictures of him, and completely blow up the matter.

Even if what happened in the school was not made public, the two murderers would definitely be sentenced severely, and I would not be surprised if they were executed immediately."

Dr. Schneider was amazed:

"Sure enough, this is the interesting thing about intelligent life. After suffering a major blow, their personality will always change.

Various tragedies have led to this situation, but he has embarked on a path of atonement, and after his death, his soul can rest in peace. When he saw his loved ones in death, he should also have the right to leave with them. "

Although Xia De's goal had been achieved, he still wanted to talk to the doctor for a few more words:
"So what good is there in atonement? I'm just curious. Things like the soul's rest should only be useful after death, right?"

The doctor smiled and said:

"Benefits? It's just to make yourself feel at ease. Don't be so utilitarian about this kind of thing. Making a mistake is making a mistake. The so-called atonement can't change what has happened. What we can do is to face our mistakes and then find ways to make up for the victims caused by our mistakes.

As for atonement, I am saying this to myself. Don’t think that atonement can solve everything. Instead of thinking about it, you might as well think about what you did wrong and then prevent the mistakes from getting bigger.”

He patted Shade's shoulder:

"Let's continue looking for the next target. The 0.2-second sin is easy to find."

Xia De nodded and said goodbye to the doctor in the sanatorium. There were no accidents or special gains in the operation this morning. It was just an ordinary morning.

As for Donald Gunn's plan, Shade and Dr. Schneider have no right to make choices for others, so they will not interfere.

It's just that because she went to the sanatorium this morning, she was not there when Shade showed up in Miss Elf's tree house with breakfast, and no one knew what she was doing.

Shad had no choice but to put down the breakfast and continue to go into the city. When he met the two ladies at the Accordion Inn, they were still talking about the story of the three generations of the Cumming family:
"From a timeline perspective, the cause of this incident was undoubtedly the peace between James Cumming and Erica in the 1800s; but as a result, James Cumming still doesn't know the whole story, and most likely doesn't know his relationship with his 'father', while Sir Cumming knows everything.

So, time is a very strange thing. Once you rashly connect with the past, paradoxes are almost inevitable. "

"Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions" was now lying on the red-haired girl's lap. It seemed that they had checked the book yesterday.

"Good morning, Shade."

The ladies all asked Xia De to sit down, and they all seemed to be in a good mood:

"We have seen the book, and the contents are meaningless. However, after inspection, all the pages of the book should come from the same tree. Although you think that only the cover is effective, we do not recommend removing the cover of this book alone."

She handed the book to Xia De, who flipped through it casually:
"So, has Erica, who lived half a century ago, written anything since last night? I think in James Cumming's hands, her words can be passed on."

Miss Winslet held her teacup and shook her head, looking at Shad, who was reading a book with his head down.
"Not once, and we discussed it and thought it probably wouldn't happen again.

Erica Cumming and James Cumming were able to exchange information through this book, which was something that had to happen, and if you know the story, you know what I mean.”

Shade nodded:
"Of course I understand. Perhaps it is precisely because of this unique relationship that we were able to obtain this book after a series of events. If we had made a mistake in even one step, this book would most likely not be here now. So the timing is really strict."

This was the third tree hole that everyone had control of. Like the first two tree holes, it only had one last chance to be used. Before he figured out what would happen after using them, Shade probably wouldn't use them again.

Now the cabinets leading to three different time points and the wooden door leading to the time point where the "teacher" is located are placed in the two ladies' rooms respectively. Even with the Keeper-level relics [Distant Puanti Alley] and [The Only Lock], Shade does not want any two tree holes to be placed together.

After all, neither of the two relics could fundamentally block the power of "travel through time", so the containment location of this third tree hole needed to be discussed.

"Why don't you take it home? It's just a book anyway."

Miss Danister suggested, but Shade shook his head. In his heart, he didn't want these tree holes to leave the Vista Forest, as this would spread the trouble:
"When I go back later, I'll go see if the elf lady in the forest is willing to help take it in. If she's not willing, I'll put it in another tree hole."

That is the tree hole connected to the "hidden space", but this requires considering whether if someone comes out of it, they will accidentally discover the secrets of the hidden space and the "space maze".

“Shad, this unusable book is not important for now. What’s important is what happens tomorrow.

You don't plan to go alone tomorrow to meet the ring wizard who threatened Sir Cumming, right? The other party knows about the tree hole, even if he is not a member of the Tree Hole Association, he is not a good person. "

The red-haired girl asked him, but Shade asked Miss Winslet:

"Did the witch in the council who knows a lot about potions tell me what the potion in the box is?"

The lady with dark gray hair nodded and handed the empty teacup to Miss Bell beside her:

"I met them in Parliament last night.

But this potion is not as dangerous as we imagined. It just contains relic derivatives in its materials, that is, the stone chips of the sage-level relic [Ancient Stone]. The prepared potion is called [Time Sharing Potion].

When this potion is prepared, a drop of the user's blood needs to be added, and then the user needs to stay away from this potion for at least fifty years. After fifty years, if the user drinks this potion again, he or she will gain the life span of the years that the potion has experienced. After fifty years, he or she will gain fifty years, and after a hundred years, he or she will gain a hundred years. "

This is easy to understand:

"The effect is so strong, what are the negative properties?"

"The user will do everything possible to open and drink this potion, which is more uncomfortable than taking illegal drugs. Therefore, they need to suffer for fifty years, constantly resisting the impulse from the body and soul. This is the effect of that drop of blood.

If they entrust someone else to hide the potion, they will take the risk that once the potion is taken by someone else, the other person will gain the remaining life span of the owner of the blood in the potion. "Time sharing" also means this."

This is also easy to understand. Seeing Xia De nod, the red-haired girl also asked the witch:

"So if you have a potion, you will be tempted all the time; if someone else has a potion, you have to consider whether they will use it. Then why not just not tell them what it is and let them hide it?"

Miss Danister thought of a new idea, but Miss Winslet smiled and shook her head:
"Don't try to deceive time. This potion has a magical power. Anyone who touches it will always have the urge to drink it, and this urge will become stronger and stronger over time until it becomes the same feeling as the potion's owner. This resonance does not even require direct contact. It is the power of conceptualization, after all, it involves time.

In short, Baron Cumming, who traveled through time, is indeed the best candidate to hide and deliver the potion. After all, for him, it has only been a day or two. As long as he does not drink the potion during this period, the owner of the potion will succeed. "

Shade took the bottle of emerald green potion from the coffee table:

"I have an idea as well - if we find a stray cat now and feed it this potion, then while we gain a long-lived cat, the ring warlock who threatens Baron Cumming will be dead?"

Miss Winslet thought for a moment:
"That's the theory, but the witch who identified the potion for me didn't know how fast my lifespan would be lost. So if she had a way to stop the transfer of her own lifespan in time, she wouldn't have to die immediately. Of course, she would be very distressed."

Xia De shook the bottle and watched the liquid ripple inside:
"Yes, he waited for fifty years and was about to succeed, but in the end he still failed. Oh, I found that if this ring wizard mastered the tree hole that spanned fifty years, he could do such a thing by himself. He could increase his lifespan by fifty years by crossing it randomly, and he could live to 1000 years old by going back and forth twenty times."

The Great Witch of Death laughed and said:

“But I think the chances of the paradox worms that were born out of this situation eating him up are higher.

And this potion is not cheap. The witch who appraised the potion said that the cost of this small bottle, not counting the relic derivatives, is at least 8,000 pounds, and many of the materials are not something that can be bought with money."
