The voice behind him was already whispering and whispering. Jenkins tried to use his back to feel the figure of the speaker behind him, but unfortunately, although he covered his eyes and mouth almost intimately, the other party did not stick to him. on the back.
Again the voice spoke, this time speaking his name:
"Jenkins, there are no accidents in this world, only other inevitability accumulated by countless inevitability. The passage of time will never change time, it will only complement time..."
For this sentence, Jenkins, who has experienced the Blacktown incident, agrees very much.
"The reason why you are standing here at this moment is not to read the epic of the years, but to meet me."
This seemed to imply that it was the woman behind who brought Jenkins and Miss Audrey here.
"Huh? Why do I think there is a woman behind me?"
Jenkins thought suspiciously, and then Beth felt something heavy on his shoulders, and then realized that it was the head of the man behind him. It's not that he took his head off and put it back on in horror, but put his chin against Jenkins' right shoulder, like an intimate couple talking.
He felt hair brushing against his neck, so he was sure that the person behind him had long hair. But he still can't determine the other party's gender because of this, after all, no one stipulates that women can only have long hair in this world.
"No, I didn't send you here."
As if seeing through Jenkins' doubts, the voice continued.
"It is the epic of the years that invites you to come here, invites you to open it, and invites you to leave your own content. And I just helped it accomplish this."
The already soft language is now as indistinguishable as the ravings in a dream.
"But now is not the time, don't touch it, don't open it. Jenkins, treat it as the scenery you encounter on the road, don't care about it, keep going, the way back is ahead... and I will wait at the end looking at you."
After finishing speaking, those cold hands let go of him. The moment both hands left Jenkins' skin, Jenkins, who regained his ability to move, turned around and looked behind, but behind him was the darkness in the sacrificial field. Not any strange light.
He froze there for a long time before turning around, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. But after being dazed for a while, I also knew that some things were destined to be unclear now, so I firmly engraved this matter in my mind, shook my head to adjust my mood, and then glanced at the big book on the shelf, according to Reminded by the voice just now, he walked around the shelf and walked to the stone wall behind.
He walked forward without any hesitation, as if he couldn't see the obstacles ahead. When he was about to hit it, Jenkins closed his eyes instinctively, but kept moving forward, and then stepped into the air as if falling into the abyss...
When consciousness recovered again, he immediately felt surrounded by water. The spirits of life around him made him understand that he had returned to the lake in the evergreen forest, and at the same time, he also felt that his hand was holding Miss Audrey tightly, just like before he fell into a coma.
"It doesn't seem like much time has passed."
He thought in his heart that his body movements kept trying to pull his teacher to swim to the surface of the water. However, the suspected time-traveling behavior seemed to have brought some sequelae. Jenkins felt weak all over his body when he moved, and he almost let go of Miss Audrey's hand.
"what happened?"
Miss Audrey obviously didn't wake up, and under the premise that Jenkins couldn't swim up, the two sank to the bottom of the lake again.
Jenkins was shocked, thinking that the frozen lake water would condense into ice, at least buoyancy would lift the two of them up, but at this moment, he felt abnormal fluctuations in the lake water above his head, and something was going downstream.
He tried hard to open his eyes in the water, and at the same time looked up with the convenience of the [Eye of Reality], and saw that the one swimming here was actually his cat.
"?"
The cat moved very fast in the water, and in a blink of an eye it ran to Jenkins' side. The small cat opened its mouth and bit the clothes on Jenkins' shoulders, then let its four little paws flap back and forth in the water. Obviously petite, but the movement of the cat's paddling actually drives the two adults to start moving.
Chocolate bit Jenkins' clothes like this, and brought the two closer to the water. When both cats surfaced, it was still biting Jenkins' clothes and trying to drag them to the shore.
It's just that the cat's strength is enough when in the water, but once it touches the shore, the body is bound by the mud under the feet, and the chocolate is not enough to move two people in this situation.
But fortunately at this moment, both hands grabbed Jenkins' free left hand, and people holding oil lamps approached the weird ceremony site by the lake from the forest, and then Jenkins and Miss Audrey were brought to the grass on the shore.
After leaving the lake, his physical strength recovered quickly. When he lay on his back on the grass, Jenkins even felt that he had fully recovered. Panting heavily, he sat up and handed the drenched Miss Audrey to Miss Bevanna who pulled the two of them ashore, and then carefully lifted the clothes still biting his mouth, as if hanging on his shoulders. The cat takes it off.
The flame quickly dried one person and one cat. Jenkins picked up his cat, looked at the innocence and curiosity in those big amber eyes, and didn't know what to say.
"chocolate… "
"What are you guys playing?"
On the side, after leaving the lake, Miss Audrey also came to her senses. Because she was wearing thin clothes, Miss Bevanna asked people to stand far away and not let the lights shine on them. At the same time, they asked the nuns of the Church of Fate who had been on the sidelines to find some clothes, and they quickly brought an ordinary nun's dress for Miss Audrey to wear.
"I didn't expect you to like playing such a game with your own students."
Seeing that Jenkins and Miss Audrey are fine, Miss Bevanna joked as she watched the female fortune-teller get dressed and combed her hair. Of course, although the situation just now seemed a bit strange, Miss Bevanna knew that the "Water Occupation" ceremony was being held here just now, otherwise she wouldn't have brought people over so soon.
Miss Audrey glanced at her, obviously not ready to answer this sentence. And the situation just now was indeed embarrassing. She was fished out of the lake with Jenkins in a soaked summer singlet, and people would misunderstand this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, looking at the young writer who looked aside, Jenkins was hugging his cat and looking at it with a thoughtful look. The cat was held by Jenkins very well, and its amber eyes looked at the writer's face.
"Since you can swim... What was the reason for your desperate objection when you took a bath before?"
Jenkins knew that cats could swim, and that his own cat could swim, but he never imagined that he could swim so skillfully in a deep lake. Although he was saved by a cat just now, he shouldn't be too harsh on it, but Jenkins couldn't help asking when he thought of the hardships of bathing the cat every time.
"Meow~"
This probably gave an answer, but Jenkins couldn't understand Chocolate's meowing at all, so he could only look at it with a sad face. He couldn't do too much after being saved by his own cat. He wouldn't ask this question again. Asked for the second time.
The water reckoning ceremony couldn't go on at this point. After taking a rest by the lake, Miss Audrey directed the nuns of her church to recycle the candles by the lake. Then they invited the two demigods of the [Church of All Things and Nature] who were here tonight to be trimmed, and together with Jenkins mobilized the spirit of life to dispel the fluctuations of strange spirits that were still surging in the ceremony venue and the lake.
After doing this, all possible sequelae have been eliminated. Miss Audrey seemed to have shaken off the influence of the incident just now, but Jenkins still had many doubts.
"Are you an advanced demigod?"
When everyone left the lake together, Miss Bevanna asked suddenly. Jenkins, the two demigods from the Church of Nature, and everyone from the Church of the Sages and the Church of Destiny were taken aback, while Miss Audrey smiled reservedly:
"Yes, you actually saw it."
What happened tonight is extremely weird. Although it probably has nothing to do with the end of the era, it still needs to be reported. Jenkins just mentioned what happened just now to Miss Bevanna, and then promised to submit a report tomorrow, and then approached Miss Audrey to ask to talk about what happened just now, of course she would not refuse.
Demigod-level fortune tellers are more precious than most demigods with other professions and skills. Miss Audrey, who originally had a transcendent status in the church because of her teacher, is already considered a status in the Church of Destiny in the Nolan area. One of the tallest.
As an advanced demigod, she should have contacted the Holy See of the Church of Destiny immediately, but Miss Audrey obviously thought that the conversation with Jenkins was more important.
"Did you really travel through time and space just now? But how is it possible?"
The two walked in the forest, talking while walking. The sky is cloudless tonight, and the moonlight shines on the quiet and peaceful forest. It is a good day for walking cats. It's a pity that the chocolate is only willing to be on Jenkins' shoulders and refuses to walk by itself.
"Probably really time travel."
Miss Audrey did not give a definite answer, but since she said so, the possibility is really high.
"The ritual that was arranged just now is a very versatile ritual matrix. In principle, there should be no problem. I think the situation just now has something to do with divination."
Only then did Jenkins remember the purpose of Shui Zhan tonight.
"No, I didn't see the answer."
The female fortune-teller said directly, turning along the forest path with Jenkins, the deer parked in front of the path was lowering its head to eat the bracken on the side. Hearing the sound, he immediately hid in the bushes, but poked his head out to look at Jenkins quietly.
PS: There was a major bug in the previous article. The left arm of the eldest prince Sallot Stuart was cut off by the guards during the snow festival accident. I forgot about it.
Spent the whole night last night revising the previous No. 1589, 1591, 1681, 1693, 1696, 1697, 1698, 1700. Sallot Stuart's left arm was still broken, but Jenkins found him fitted with a wooden prosthesis after the Northland mission arrived in Beldyland.
The direction of the subsequent story has not changed, but the details of the board game and Snowy Night Deathmatch have been modified, and at the same time, Jenkins has learned the origin of Salote's left arm prosthesis when he is working with the princess.
Generally speaking, it is just a matter of details. You can read the previous article and refresh the chapter to check it.
To express my apologies, add a new chapter.
