Chapter 2938: Downstream and Upstream

The two were only similar at first because of the green gem ring, but during the great battle in White Ape Canyon, the moon fire sprayed by Xia De after transforming into a silver wolf burnt the other party's entire face, which was a permanent injury; the "Night Arrow" of the Ring Mage secret technique of Miss Oulannode who appeared last finally pierced the other party's right eye and caused damage, which added new identical features.

So Xia De suspected that the monster that escaped from the crack to the present last week was the man he encountered two months ago.

It was just that the order in which Xia De and the other party met was opposite. From Xia De's perspective, he first met him two months ago, and then met him again last week; but from the monster's perspective, the things it experienced should be first encountering Xia De after escaping from the doomsday, and after being defeated, entering the time crack, experiencing many things and recovering slightly, and then appearing from the cupboard about two months ago, and was solved by Xia De, Grace, and Helen together at that time.

One went downstream, one went upstream, but they could still meet twice. This is the interesting thing about the river of time.

In order to verify this possibility, Xia De asked Sister Daelin to help. And Grace and Helen, who heard Xia De's speculation, also helped to point out the details of the short battle two months ago.

The corpse was obviously still in the toy state. Xia De didn't want to dirty the Glorious Messenger, so he restored it in the forest by Lake Yulun.

Because "Toy Manufacturing" has a certain freshness-keeping function, the corpse had not rotted yet.

Taking advantage of Sister Daelin standing in the snow and looking down at the corpse, Xia De knelt on the snow surface and touched the burnt face of the corpse with his hand.

He couldn't feel the residual power of moon fire with this, but the special ability to perceive fire power given by the initial fire still made him detect that the reason for the formation of this burnt face was indeed not because of ordinary power.

Touching the right eye of the corpse again, there was no eyeball in the pitch-black right eye, but it still residualized chaotic time-space power. When Xia De concentrated, he finally perceived traces originating from the dark night on the rotten skin around the eye socket. This was indeed the injury caused by "Night Arrow".

"Sister, can you see anything from this corpse?"

Xia De stood up and washed his hands with water summoned by Helen before asking. The sister standing in the snow nodded gently:

"The years this corpse has experienced are quite long. He has crossed at least three thousand years of time. The corpse did not undergo any disguise. What we see at this moment is his true appearance."

"But a lot of strange power has made this corpse deformed and twisted. He must be different from his original body shape, appearance, and other physical characteristics."

That is to say, Xia De could not judge who the other party was when he was alive through this corpse:

"Sister, if you saw the appearance of this corpse when he was alive, could you distinguish the other party? I suspect that at this time point, the person corresponding to this corpse is still in a normal state."

But this time the sister still shook her head:

"The power of doomsday, although it has dissipated, has also permanently affected him. The current him is completely different from the him before entering the doomsday."

"Sister, then can you try to communicate with his soul? When we were there, we didn't crush his soul."

Grace asked the sister again, but Sister Daelin still couldn't do it:

"His soul did not walk to the end, nor did it stay in the world of the living. He signed a contract with a certain existence when he was alive. After he died, his soul automatically belonged to the other party."

"Is that so..."

Xia De thought deeply, but didn't think this was another demon's trick. There shouldn't be a second powerful demon in the Vesta Woodland event. He now has a suspect, and if this speculation is correct, many things can be explained, but this kind of speculation is too bizarre:

"Basically, it can be determined that this corpse from two months ago is the monster that escaped from the crack last week, but I should have met him more than these two times."

He stared at the corpse with narrowed eyes and said softly:

"Perhaps my third meeting with him has not appeared yet, and my first fight with him has not appeared yet. I am walking towards the future along the time, and he is going upstream in the river of time..."

"I know who the gentleman is suspecting!"

Helen in the black dress smiled and raised her hand, so Xia De reached out and touched her hair intimately:

"Don't say it for now, it wouldn't be interesting that way. In short, the matter of this corpse is temporarily over. Grace, Helen, since you have time, go into the city with the sister. I want the sister to go and see the time of death of everyone in the Bennett family."

"Sir, is it the family protected by the tree?"

Grace asked, Xia De nodded:

"Yes, so I'm not sure how much the sister can see. In short, try it first. You also be careful, if the situation is not right, leave immediately."

The Twelve-Ring death candidate and the red butterfly twins going out together, of course, would not have any danger. They only took more than an hour to return from the city. The sister brought two pieces of news:

"Including the boy who does not have the Bennett family bloodline and Mrs. Bennett, I cannot see the time of death of the five of them. Grace and Helen went to see Linda Bennett, who has become a church sister, with me. I can see that she eventually died of a flu, which is something many years later."

"So it is not that the Bennett bloodline has particularity, but the family itself has particularity. Once expelled from the family, it means losing the tree's protection?"

The second piece of news was seen by Grace and Helen. Although the sisters' characteristics as Relics became weaker and weaker after becoming space candidates, this did not mean that those characteristics really weakened:

"That boy must be a twin."

Sylvia, who had talked with Xia De on the deck last night, then said with a smile:

"Sir, you know where the soul of that boy's twin sister is, right? If you allow us to use the power of the Relic - Red Butterfly Twins, we can use the connection between the soul and the boy to restore the boy's past memories.

These twins have a difficult and distressed fate. Now although one side has died, she is still blessing her brother. Before you reunited with us, this kind of thing we must manage."

"Restore Albert Bennett's memories?"

In this way, the secret of why that child appeared in the Bennett family was revealed:

"No problem, I'll let Miss Difa contact Margaret. This matter must be solved as soon as possible... Tonight, tonight I will go to the Time Transfer Station to meet the masked person, and then go to 1821. Although the things that happened in the Time Transfer Station only happened in an instant, it also takes time for the masked person to go back and forth there.

Take this opportunity, go to the Bennett family's house and try to contact that boy. Of course, if that boy is not in the room, then it can be considered that he is actually the masked person."

But Xia De thought the possibility was extremely low, the real masked person was highly likely to be Mr. Bennett.

Margaret also wanted to participate in tonight's action. Regarding the affairs of her half-sister and brother, she wanted to hear it with her own ears. Grace and Helen had no opinion on this, the sisters promised to take Margaret and protect her, which made the blonde princess who had not boarded the Glorious Messenger alone recently feel even more uncomfortable.

On this Tuesday, Xia De had been talking to Miss Oulannode and Emilia about the Fifth Era, and took the opportunity to test how strong Emilia's combat level was now.

"Ah? Do I have to fight Xia De this time?"

The little elf looked at Xia De pitifully, and then whispered:

"Can you be lighter later? I'm afraid of pain."

This made Xia De think he was doing something bad to her.

The abnormality of Vesta Woodland continued on Tuesday. The fluttering snowflakes began to fall again over the woodland from about ten o'clock in the morning, and the abnormality of this snow was that it only covered Vesta Woodland, and there was no snow after leaving the forest area.

The snow was only moderate when it first appeared, but it simply turned into a blizzard by noon. Xia De originally wanted to discuss the essentials of flying ability with Bella, who had also learned to fly not long ago. The countess even invited Xia De to fly in the forest in the afternoon, but she had to give up in such heavy snow.

At lunch, Iluna sent a letter to the ship from the church again. Besides informing Luweiya of the current preparation situation of the Church, the letter also came with two coin-type Relics. However, Luweiya saw from the letter that Iluna was so busy not because the Church gave her many Relics, she seemed to be improving her own strength, which made the purple-eyed diviner Miss very gratified.

It was also around lunch, in the sky above the forest in the southwest of the city, in the silver-white snowflakes, dozens of pitch-black cracks appeared abruptly, and then monsters that even the Church couldn't distinguish for a while flew out from two of the cracks.

The Church's team immediately greeted the battle, and the two sides broke out in a great battle in the sky of the woodland. The monsters that were finally defeated did not leave corpses, but disappeared as smoke and dust.

It was just that the cracks in the sky still existed. The cracks themselves were pitch-black and could not be seen through, but some scenes of the past woodland appeared in the sky around the cracks as time passed.

The professors of the Academy believed that those phantoms were the scenes of time behind the cracks, and those monsters did not come from the time behind the cracks, but from the "Time Narrow Space" between time and time. If the cracks are not controlled, there will definitely be more things coming directly to the current era later. ===== CHAPTER 2939 =====

Now the only unknown candidates left were the first and third in ranking, so the answer was very clear. Although the divination failed, obtaining this information verified Xia De's speculation:
