Chapter 2489
Angelina first flipped the one symbolizing Wang Hou Diana:
"Mother."
The card face was 【Mother】, and it was an upright Mother. When divining for pregnant women, this is a quite positive and positive result.
Angelina looked like she breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up the card symbolizing the unborn children. And when she flipped the card, Xia De suddenly felt his eyes blur, and his whole person fell into a rapid river.
Extreme dizziness and trance even made him unable to help covering his mouth and retching. The feeling of dizziness and headache that he hadn't experienced for a long time made his whole body appear severely uncomfortable.
"Time is really wonderful. Many years ago, I was also like Angelina now... Xia De, oh, what's wrong with you?"
Galina reached out to support Xia De, who was covering his head and retching, and his body was twitching.
"It's okay, I feel suddenly... when did you come back?"
Xia De looked at the witch who supported him, enduring the headache and nausea, until this moment "She" said softly:
【Outsider, you experienced a time reversal. Because you have a state of selectively not accepting time power, you retained your original memory.】
"Xia De, what are you talking about, back? Haven't I always been here?"
The witch asked with some doubt, and there was no worry on Angelina's face:
"Xia De, we were just talking, you suddenly covered your head and retched, are you okay?"
"Do you want tea? How about a cup of coffee or wine?"
Tifa asked softly behind the sofa.
"Time reversal?"
Xia De's surprise in his heart goes without saying. He never expected to encounter this kind of thing. After all, there was no sign before. But since he had chatted with Priest Augustus about similar things, he wouldn't be too panicked:
"Now listen to me, something happened."
He grabbed the witch's hand tightly, enduring the headache and nausea, and looked at her worried golden eyes:
"I have already listened to you and Angelina talk once, and I also saw Tifa go to inquire about news but got a not-so-good result, and then you left..."
He described his experience simply in a few sentences, and finally added:
"Don't doubt it, I am very sure this is not my illusion. The time reversal is not long. From the 0:13 when you said 'Time is really wonderful' just now, to the 0:41 when I and Angelina were divining, a total of 28 minutes."
The two ladies of the Cavendish family looked at him in surprise, not because they didn't believe it, but because they didn't understand:
"But this is Yodel Palace, how could this happen?"
Xia De had already stood up:
"I have some guesses. Knowing that there is a relic here that can realize time reversal, it might be that thing that went wrong. I'll go see the situation now. Galina, you stay here, this is not a big deal, leave it to me."
The Duchess nodded worriedly, but did not insist on going with him:
"Be careful on the road. This kind of sudden thing is very wrong. Reasonably speaking, everything should have signs and then accidents, the more serious the trouble, the more so, but this time I didn't notice any wrongness in advance."
"If I see Yiluna near the Dawn Church, maybe this matter has an explanation. Angelina, you follow Galina and don't walk around."
Saying this, he walked toward the window, but stumbled and almost fell if not supported by Tifa. Xia De shook his head and pushed her away, went to the window and pushed it open, then jumped and turned into a silver cat and drilled out from the gap of the window railing.
Like Galina, Xia De also felt that this matter was very wrong. In the past, no matter what happened, signs would often appear first and then accidents would happen. The more serious the trouble, the more so, but this time he didn't notice any wrongness in advance.
The night covered the worried silver cat. During the process of leaving Yodel Palace, he didn't encounter any obstacles, except for Xia De, no one noticed the wrongness here. It was just that when Xia De the cat climbed onto the wall of Yodel Palace, he found that the city outside the wall presented a strange state.
It was not night, but it didn't look like day either. The day and night overlapped, and the chaotic colors produced by the rapidly flashing scenes and light-dark superposition once made Xia De think that he was dreaming.
【It's not a dream.】
"She" had a very gentle voice, so the silver cat looked at the strange scene outside Yodel Palace and gritted its teeth and jumped down.
"Oh!"
As if the whole cat fell into a big whirlpool, after the dizziness and nausea brought by the spinning sky and turning earth, Xia De heard the Duchess's voice again:
"Time is really wonderful. Many years ago, I was also like... Xia De, why did you suddenly turn into a cat? Oh, are you vomiting?"
Xia De the cat felt Galina's hand brush over his back, and it tried to stand up from the sofa:
"I'm fine."
The cat turned back into Xia De, who looked very uncomfortable, in the bright silver light. He leaned against the back of the sofa and shook his head, trying to overcome this discomfort. Even if he didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his expression must be very ugly at this moment.
Now the time has returned to the beginning of the cycle just now. The only good news is that this reversal doesn't seem to be as uncomfortable as the last time.
"Can you feel anything?"
【The source of the reversal is within the range of Yodel Palace. Once someone tries to leave this range, the reversal will restart.】
"You don't look like you're fine, Xia De. If you're uncomfortable, don't go out with me in a while. Miss Feilian said not long ago that we didn't take good care of you. You rest here. Angelina, you don't have to follow in a while, take care of Xia De here."
Galina said worriedly, and wanted to let Xia De lie down and let Tifa bring a blanket, but was refused by Xia De:
"Time reversal."
He covered his head and explained the general situation to the ladies again in a simple two or three sentences. Although he couldn't produce evidence for the time being, this time Galina and Angelina still easily believed all his words.
This saved a considerable amount of time.
"So, the reason for the time reversal is in Yodel Palace? And the time reaching 0:41, or someone leaving Yodel Palace, are the reasons for time jumping back to the 'starting point', right?"
Galina analyzed:
"I have only seen this kind of thing on paper, and I didn't feel anything just now."
"The condition for reversal is not necessarily that the time reaches 0:41, it could also be that someone did something at that time point. After all, I have only experienced one cycle."
"Then can we experience it a few more times and analyze it after integrating the results? After all, one cycle is less than 30 minutes, so it doesn't matter if we try a few more times."
Angelina asked immediately:
"And everyone won't remember what happened after time reversal, so we can fully mobilize everyone here to investigate together."
【No, after at most five reversals, this small time reversal location will completely fall into time collapse, and very serious consequences will appear by then. And the more people who know the truth of time, the easier it is to lead to time instability.】
"No."
Xia De repeated "She"'s words:
"But I didn't feel the abnormal distortion of time or the whispering elements of the relic. This matter is really too strange... Angelina, perform another divination now."
He still remembered that during the first reversal, Angelina happened to be about to flip the second card.
"Wait a minute, according to your description, neither I nor Tifa were present."
The witch said and led others to leave temporarily, but this time Angelina's divination result was different from the last time. The first card last time was "Mother," and this time it was the reversed "King."
"It seems it's not because of Angelina's divination."
At this time, it was 0:27 after the second reversal. 14 minutes were used for analysis and letting Angelina complete the divination. And if this matter really had to be solved within five reversals, Xia De didn't have much time left.
"What should we do next? I suggest that after the next reversal starts, if it's not very necessary, you don't have to tell us everything, just arrange for us to do things. Anyway, I absolutely trust you."
Galina said again, and Xia De, who had already sorted out his thoughts from this unlucky accident, already had an idea:
"Although Yodel Palace is not big relative to the entire Tobesk, it is not simple to search it comprehensively, especially when you cannot fully utilize all the manpower."
So, now we can only investigate places with major suspicions first, such as the purpose of our appearance here tonight.
Saying this, he had already walked quickly toward the door, the Duchess immediately took the maids to follow, and Angelina of course followed them:
"Xia De, are you saying that the reason for this is mother and the children about to be born?"
"Yes, judging from the time of the first reversal, the time point of the reversal might happen to be the moment the pair of twins were born. Of course, this is just speculation."
After all, this is the most conspicuous thing at present.
Originally Xia De was walking in front, but because Xia De didn't know the way, Galina finally walked in front.
She directly found Rhesia's father, who was waiting for news in the King's study. After simply explaining a few words, the eunuch attendant beside the King actually led the group into the underground from the secret passage behind the study cabinet, and then walked out from the cloakroom of the Wang Hou's bedroom used as a delivery room.
Galina seemed to know this road, but Angelina knew nothing.
At this time, the doctors were still nervously assisting the Wang Hou Diana on the bed in giving birth, but under the order of the eunuch attendant, the group soon all temporarily left from the hidden side door of the bedroom.
Wang Hou Diana still had consciousness, and of course, she knew that the doctors had all left. But before this woman with pale lips and sweating face could say anything, Xia De held Adele's pocket watch and pointed at her:
"Besides, they are only the fourth candidate. Generally speaking, the fourth candidate cannot have such outstanding talent. If they were the first candidate for time, I might suspect it. Think about it, what special abilities can other fourth candidates have?"
