Chapter 487: Chapter 173: Mysterious Regression !
That’s the best Leonard Churchill could assume.
He pondered for a bit, then reminded, “Elder Clinton, if we disappear again next time, please make sure to tell me the four words ‘Time Retrospection1 as soon as you find us.”
Elder Clinton gave him a puzzled look, “Huh?”
Leonard Churchill didn’t want to explain anything complicated.
This old man’s memory isn’t good, it would be great if he could remember these four words.
As he walked, he repeatedly reminded Elder Clinton, “Remember to say ‘Time Retrospection!”‘
Elder Clinton couldn’t understand, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless.
A mournful sound...
The roar of the train sounded.
Leonard Churchill and the others stepped off the train.
Finally, in front of them, it’s not the unending sight of the Stygian River Water.
In the dark mountainous shadows at the edge of their vision, there seemed to be many ancient buildings.
“Ah... we’ve finally arrived.”
“Yeah, I can’t believe we took a train...”
Upon getting off the train, Leonard Churchill, clutching the bronze snake in his hand, didn’t have time to reflect on his feelings.
As the group was chatting, at that moment, a voice that sounded like a duck quacking hollered from a distance, “Time Retrospection! Time Retrospection!”
Leonard Churchill and the others watched as a sleazily postured figure ran towards them from the dark distance, instantly on high alert.
There has been no living creature in these ruins for thousands of years; this one is probably not human.
But the voice is familiar...
However, before they could act, they were surprised to find that the man with the gap-toothed smile running towards them from a distance was no other than Elder Clinton!
Leonard Churchill and the others got goosebumps.
But as they looked back, Elder Clinton’s figure was nowhere to be seen!
But he had just gotten off the train with them, hadn’t he?
“Elder Clinton, when did we arrive?”
“Two or three days... or maybe four days ago? I don’t remember very well.”
“So... Elder Clinton, what did we do in the ruins yesterday?”
“I... I forgot... Anyway, I thinkwe just wandered around the city...”
As they went along, Leonard Churchill kept asking questions.
As expected, Elder Clinton couldn’t provide any useful clues.
Leonard Churchill also found that in the time loop, Elder Clinton’s memory loss symptoms seemed to have gotten worse.
However, even this small piece of information was enough.
Leonard Churchill knows that given his personality, he would have left a clue for himself upon discovering the problem with this Mysterious Realm.
Entering the city might reveal some clues.
But he inoculated himself, saying, “If time rewinds again, Elder Clinton, please be sure to tell me ‘Time Retrospection’ again.”
Elder Clinton accepted this much more easily this time, “Oh.”
Listenting to the bizarre conversation between Leonard Churchill and Elder Clinton, none of the others could get a word in edgeways.
The convoluted reasoning coupled with the eerie time-reversal Mysterious Realm was enough to bewilder even the astute Catherine Carter.
But Leonard Churchill remained calm.
If he had survived at least two cycles, it means there is no direct fatal threat in these ruins, right?
But being reset every day seems like a deadlock already.
This is not a problem that power or abilities can solve.
Having fallen into it, he’s not the type to fret about predicaments.
On the contrary, he was rather excited about the mystery of this time-loop Mysterious Realm.
“Elder Clinton, did I leave anything for you?”
“No.”
“Think again?”
“Even if I think it over, no. Ah, ah, ah, don’t rummage through my pockets, there’s nothing in this old man’s possession...”
