The decade was cold and contradictory, spent in anxiety.
Time is speeding up.
Getting faster and faster.
Haradini wasn't sure whether it was because time itself was speeding up, or if it was because she was becoming more and more indifferent and apathetic that she felt time was speeding up.
Think about it, this year Haratini was still conflicted and uneasy about the desire in her heart, so when this restlessness subsided, she would naturally be able to distinguish the concepts of existence of these two periods of time.
But gradually, this concept has disappeared.
There is only apathy and indifference.
Peace and calm.
Those periods of time seemed as if they were carved from the same mold.
No longer vibrant, it looks like a smooth icicle.
A moment of time will reflect decades.
……
A familiar yet strange rotation, the two people return to reality.
This is really a very long flashback... Xia Yibing is not sure whether it has completed a hundred years, but even if not, it should be seventy or eighty years. This is too exaggerated. They actually spent such a long time in the flashback dream!
What does this mean?
In reality, their life from birth to growing up and then becoming a god is only one-third of these years...
It simply subverts our cognition and even covers our cognition!
Xia Yibing dared to draw the following conclusion: If the two of them were not experiencing the flashbacks in the form of spirits, if they could truly merge with history and live in it as living characters, then their real memories of the past few years and decades in reality would definitely be squeezed into the corners, and they would have to work very hard to recall them.
"It's like having a very long dream..."
With a strong force, Xia Yibing slammed herself into the soft mattress, and looked at Hitzfeld with her feet up.
"You can't watch this movie too much..."
"I mean, if you're really worried about those things..."
Isn’t Aisuen worried that his heart will become “unhuman” if he lives too long?
This is living a long time... Watching movies that are hundreds of years old is also a kind of "living", right?
Hitzfeld ignored her and sat in his chair, thinking about his own things.
The collapse of the flashback was silent. She couldn't tell whether the remains of the sword were not enough to carry the complete "Hundred Years", so that they were interrupted before they could see the end of the "Hundred Years".
Something hit my butt.
"..."
She didn't need to look back to know that someone was poking her with their toes, probably trying to invite her to go to the bathroom and take a shower together.
Psychologically, the passage of several decades will also have an impact on the physical body in reality. These decades of "abstinence life" not only prohibits desires in that aspect, but also includes appetite, desire for cleanliness, longing for certain things, and so on.
Really... It would be fine if I didn’t mention this. Once I brought it up, I started feeling itchy all over.
Although he knew that this was 100% psychological, Hitzfeld readily accepted the other party's invitation since the conditions existed and changed the conversation location from the studio converted from the bedroom to the large bathtub.
Vast water mist.
The two sat close together.
"Aisun."
Xia Yibing took the lead in opening the topic.
"I think it is necessary for us to study the place of origin more."
Hitzfeld did express concern for Emily's future.
Because Emily is not great.
There is only one way to become a god. If she cannot elevate herself, then she will probably not be able to escape a certain destined fate.
What does that mean?
Considering only from the perspective of life expectancy, which parent would attend their child’s funeral?
Before, Xia Yibing took this matter lightly because she felt it was still very far away.
Just like what she said to comfort Hitzfeld - it only took us a few years to transform from mortals to what we are now, and Emily still has a long time to live, so why can't she find her own way?
But now she has seen the movie.
Although I didn’t see the war of gods, I did see the demise of the descendants of gods.
Or be killed.
Or just sit in the palace and let your body and soul be eaten away by time until you die.
This long experience was imprinted in her heart, and her sense of urgency was suddenly aroused.
She doesn't care about the past.
Because what has happened cannot be changed.
But she will care about her daughter's future.
Suddenly I really want to hug Emily...
As a mother, I have never taught her well. Even her daily studies are tutored by Aisuen. It is really unreasonable of me to be like this.
How can I learn from the Sun King?
How could I be such an irresponsible elder?
When I see the little thing again, I will make it up to her.
At least one quarter of practice.
Mathematics, deductive reasoning…
I will personally help her consolidate the good ones.
As for her and her wife mentioning the place of origin, it was naturally to help their daughter do research in advance to see if there was really no hope.
Do I need you to mention this kind of thing...
Hitzfeld shook his head.
"I will."
"Also, regarding the retrospection... I'd like to hear your analysis of Emera's lip movements."
"Lip shape?"
"It was the first time they parted in the wilderness, Emera's lip movements, her words."
"Only analysis? No translation?"
"…How long have we been watching inside?"
"At least seventy years."
"So how dumb do you think I am that I can't decipher lip reading on my own in these seventy years?"
"Uh, that's not what I meant..."
Skipping irrelevant parts, the two began to discuss the summarized information.
"She mentioned the 'first hundred years'... This reminded me of the video tape in which Yinsel told Leng... Lengdis that the total time of folding was 327 years..."
Hitzfeld muttered.
"That means Haradini and the others, if they were not killed by that unknown thing, they would have at least another two hundred years to hold on."
Then why did Emera say that she was trapped in the first hundred years?
Counting from the first year of folding, what will happen at the end of the first hundred years?
Why is she so sure? Can she see the future?
And those words were obviously spoken to the future...
Is it a unique time to aim for greatness?
Because she knew that if the Sun King Aymen-Hawin won the war of gods, with her abilities, she would be able to cross the river of time and see them in the past...?
My thoughts are getting more and more confused...
I don’t know whether these discoveries can fill the gaps in the Abyss.
"I have an immature idea."
Xia Yibing said.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Hitzfeld gestured with his hand.
"You said before... the first time you asked me to translate your lips, Emera said she was scared, so she didn't dare to sleep alone."
Xia Yibing narrowed her eyes.
"I've been wondering, what is she afraid of?"
"And did you notice that over the years, the people of Serlan did not ring the bell every hour?"
"what do you mean……"
Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes.
"(Chorus) Did those two bell sounds really mean that some important person died at that time?"
"..."
"..."
There is a spreading silence in the steam.
There is another terror brewing in the silence.
"if it is like this."
Hitzfeld pursed his lips.
“This isn’t just something that happened in the past…”
Chapter 24: The First Hundred Years (Part 3)
Of course it's not just something that happened in the past.
On the one hand, it was because Haradini, the owner of the hair left in the place of origin, had a high probability of being alive until now, hiding somewhere and watching them. On the other hand, they suspected that some kind of power had infiltrated the "present" from the "past".
"The time is not necessarily right..." Hitzfeld stared at the water with twinkling eyes, "It is not necessarily 'the bell will be rung only when someone dies'. Ringing the bell is not an interpretation of the result but a warning of the beginning! Is it 'the bell will be rung only when someone is about to die'?"
And she is a very important person... That's why Emera said she was scared after the bell rang and begged Haradini to stay with her.
But why didn't she remind Ahoin and Ke Fan?
Just...if she had the power of a prophet, she could see the future, and even predict that their mother, the Sun King, would look at the scene of that day from the end of time and read her lips accurately.
If she was so alert, why did she ask Haradini to stay?
Shouldn't she ask Haratini to immediately inform her two sisters so that the four of them could stick together?
"Although there is no evidence, this possibility is not small." Xia Yibing nodded, "Because Ahoyin also died of the same pattern."
According to Hitzfeld's description of the first experience and his and her own second recollection of their personal experience, there were three bell sounds that impressed them the most.
The first time was when Hitzfeld first came. She said she "vaguely heard the bells", but she guessed it was the hourly chime, which was not a big problem.
After this chime, she observed the Gathering of the Seasons, where the four Hours met in Holm Oak to discuss how to carry out their plans.
Up to this point, there was indeed no big problem, but then the four Si Chen said goodbye to each other, Chunxia left, and Qiudong returned to his room.
It was during this stretch of the journey that Hitzfeld heard the second bell.
This time the bell sounded rather strangely. If the first bell was regarded as signalling 6 o'clock in the evening, then the second bell could not have been at 9 o'clock in the evening.
She said that three hours couldn't have passed. Not only did the time in her mind and perception not match, but the sky outside was not as dark as it should be.
