Chapter 487

On the topic of time tracing, both Muggles and wizards have had quite complex exploration and research, but in the end, no one can find a conclusion.

As a former Muggle, Maka is not a scientist and doesn't know a series of rules about time paradox, such as Novikov's self consistency principle; Now, as a wizard, he is also far from being able to contact the rules of time, let alone understand the mysterious magic truth.

Even if he had even met his future self once, even if he had witnessed the future he died in front of him, he still failed to accurately measure the real horror of the time rule.

Now he knows only one thing when holding the time converter - time backtracking will bring a great burden to people. If the backtracking time exceeds five hours and 23 minutes ①, human body will be damaged.

This rule is not the conclusion of any theoretical research, but the wizard who used the time converter in previous years tested it with fresh life one by one.

If compared with the situation of the person who met the future at the beginning, this rule without any theoretical basis can not be ignored at all.

But what can more than five hours be used for?

Marca doesn't know, but she can't let him think more now. He must use the time converter immediately, and it's not too late to think again after using it.

After putting the four extra converters into his waist pocket, he quickly hung the gold chain of the converter in his hand around his neck and began to move the little hourglass in the middle of the golden ring.

At the moment when Maka began to turn the hourglass, there was a loud "bang" in his ear, as if someone had riveted enough strength in his ear and sounded the broken Gong.

The strong discomfort made him frown, but his hand didn't stop.

With the rotation of the little hourglass, everything around him seemed to be covered with an indescribable mist. The fog was not thick and had no color, but he couldn't see anything around him.

Then, when a large number of colorful objects came into his vision, he finally understood what the "four-dimensional horizon" that he had mentioned in the future was.

While time kept going back, the beautiful things in front of him were constantly growing and extending... Extending from behind him to the front, and then circling back behind him from the front. They were tangled and complicated, leaving long and winding strips in his eyes.

Maka guessed that those long objects should be people one by one. That's what humans look like in the four-dimensional world, that is, the so-called "disgusting worm" in their own mouth in the future.

If the spatial position of someone at each time point is fixed, that scene will be formed.

But since human beings exist like that in the four-dimensional world, what will they look like when they are using the time converter?

As he continued to move the hourglass, he quickly turned his head and looked.

No, there's nothing behind me. In other words, as a time traveler, he is not only divorced from the time limit, but also fixed on the original spatial coordinates.

But if so, when the moment comes when he stops turning the hourglass, he will obviously be in a void universe, right?

Even if he had not learned any complex theoretical knowledge, he knew that the earth was rotating all the time. And it's not just rotation. You know, it still revolves around the sun!

If you think bigger

No, before he could continue to spread his mind, the hourglass had turned enough five times. Maka quickly put away what she had in her mind and immediately stopped moving her hands.

Suddenly, his vision shook suddenly and his whole body twisted. Then he found that he was no longer in the time Hall of the Department of mystery affairs.

After looking around in a hurry, he found that he was standing on a hill near Hogwarts!

"... was that the feeling of phantom shifting just now?" Maka thought and nodded again.

Perhaps yes, the last time the whole body was distorted, it should be the phantom shape shifting spell.

The unpleasant experience of stretching, flattening and stuffing the whole person into the pipe should be a similar way of spatial movement, even if it is not the phantom movement itself.

After a little thought, he affirmed this point and understood that his previous worries were completely unnecessary. What's more, the time converter is not unused. He's just thinking about it.

Time retrospection does not fix the traveler on a spatial coordinate, but reverses with the rotation of time. At the end of the retrospective, the traveler will be moved by the time converter to the position near the time point, so as to get away from the coordinate point where he was in the past.

After putting aside these messy space-time relations, Maka couldn't help sighing. Because he found that even if he had experienced a time travel, the pass was still pointless. It can be imagined that the regular runes about time are far from what he can touch now.

Is this a secondary rule? No, this is definitely the depth that only a few level 3 rule runes can reach.

Although there is a strong desire for this mysterious knowledge, it is obviously not the time to think more. It should be more than 4 a.m. now. In less than four hours, Voldemort and greenward, who is hiding a round mirror, will follow one another.

There is not much time left for him.

Voldemort, he doesn't have to think much. Greenward is his target. Even if it seems that there has never been targeted malice, he must stop the action.

But where greenward is now, he has no way of knowing.

Maka, with a time converter hanging around her neck, can hear a slight but clear sound constantly ringing in her ear, "click, click", with a clear interval law.

The sound seemed to remind him that time was moving forward relentlessly towards the terrible future step by step.

The first thing he can try to do is to evacuate the crowd in the castle.

However, Maka's right leg just took a step, and the whole person froze immediately. Time passed second by second, but he failed to take the second step.

"... can't go."

Yes, he can't go there. Because he found that if he entered Hogwarts at this time point, he would be aware of himself at this time point.

What will happen if the past self finds the future self?

Maka, who had personally experienced a similar situation, immediately fell into a period of hesitation. He could not determine whether his own death in the future at that time was due to this reason; He was also unable to determine whether the spherical three-dimensional Rune matrix also had the function of preventing this from happening.

I remember Dumbledore once said to Hermione that in time and space travel, you need to avoid being exposed to others as much as possible, especially the past self.

At this moment, Maka couldn't help feeling distressed about her ability to sense magic for the first time.

After he stayed in place for more than ten minutes, he deeply realized the difficulty of being a time traveler. A shackle called "rules" has been heavily put on him, who violates the rules, and he has the illusion that he can't do anything.

Only then did he realize how hard the old Maka, who died in front of him, had made to break the indestructible shackles and come to him.

Now he didn't even dare to say what he understood. He just guessed that there must be countless problems he didn't understand. In order to solve these problems, he will pay at least his life.

He sighed blankly after a long confrontation with his fears.

While lamenting his recent sighs, he had to put those unknown dangers first, and began to plan the next step on the premise of avoiding the worst situation as far as possible.

There are too many things he doesn't understand. Just a time rule is much more complex and cumbersome than all the topics he has studied so far. He had to force himself to be extremely cautious.

If you step in the wrong step and die in the past, you can't recover anything.

Maka looked around again. The snow, night and cold air cheered him up. But no matter how refreshing he was in the environment, he couldn't suppress his boredom.

After hesitating for a moment again, he simply waved away a piece of snow and sat on the ground.

Hogwarts was not far away, but he didn't dare to go near it at all. Endless worries kept him from moving forward again and again. Even though those worries may be meaningless speculation, it was still difficult for him to move forward.

"At the moment... Should I still check the rune matrix in the castle vestibule?" he thought to himself, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's all in vain."

In this way, makalon thought for two hours on the snow slope near Hogwarts. When there was a gray light on the top of the mountain in the East, he reflected that the dawn had come unexpectedly.

"In that case, just cut off greenward outside Hogwarts!"

Looking at the castle that gradually became clear in the field of vision, Maka silently nodded and took out his staff. Count the time. Wait a little longer. Dumbledore's funeral should begin.
