Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

"Why did you leave the pocket watch?"

In the darkness, the two clerical staff of the cult who had worked hard all night finally turned around and left.

And almost immediately, Amira looked at Reginald, making no secret of her confusion.

"It shouldn't be necessary for me to remind you of the importance of that thing. Apart from the encore, it is almost the only thing we have gained from our investigation so far. More than one victim said that he had seen it."

"Although it is not magical in itself, and even the contents inside are difficult to understand, but giving him such an important thing, apart from increasing unknown dangers, I don't see any meaning."

"Or do you think Ann might have found out some secrets? If you really think so, wouldn't it be better to communicate more honestly? Instead of misleading like this."

"Don't you think what you said is inconsistent?"

Amira's words were already harsh, but Reginald looked at her and was completely unmoved.

"If there is no meaning in carrying that thing with you, where is the unknown risk?"

……

Faced with the somewhat sharp rhetorical question, Amira was speechless for a moment.

"I know you don't agree with taking more risks with the victims, but you have also seen what happened today. If it weren't for Anke's own risky behavior, we might have missed too much..."

When he said this, Reginald's expression turned out to be a little sad.

"I think sometimes it's time to learn from Mr. Encore."

"Like someone who sees all this as a nightmare?"

Amira, who had been silent for a long time, finally looked around and said in a deep voice.

"At least he seems to be very happy with it. Maybe even if nothing happens to him when he takes it with him, he can really surprise us after some research."

Reginald was clearly determined.

"This willingness is largely due to prejudice and is unfair to Encore."

Unfortunately, Amira is obviously not so easy to convince.

"I will write it all clearly in the report."

"It doesn't matter, I only have one request."

Reginald shook his head slowly.

"Write everything clearly, don't leave anything out, and let them make their own judgment."

……

Kind of interesting.

As the focus of the dispute, Fu Qian was looking thoughtfully at the open back cover of his pocket watch.

It's not uncommon to have engravings on this type of thing, the problem is the content...

【...Be gentle with ladies...】

[...After the ravages of time, it is still smooth and shining after a little rubbing. This is what she is most satisfied with about herself...]

[...The only regret is that the damaged body has still not been repaired...]

Names, vows, blessings, whatever is engraved in it will not make people feel strange.

But the part that can be recognized before the eyes, the painting style is too unique.

Be gentle with women?

If you say this is a lady's pocket watch, it's still an explanation. The question seems to be a lady's pocket watch, right?

After reading the content carefully, Fu Qian could not bear to complain.

Although I didn't have the opportunity to take it apart and look at the world in the painting, it's really hard to imagine that the container of the Blood of the Time Dragon would have something like this engraved inside.

Coupled with the fact that it has no extraordinary aura, and I just thought too much, the probability that this thing is just the same model as a real nightmare seems to be rising linearly. But it just seems that Fu Qian never easily attributes anything to coincidence.

From the conversation between Reginald and Amira, it can be determined that the pocket watch is the harvest of the cult’s investigation into the world in the painting over the past month.

More than one victim of the world in the painting said that he had an impression of this thing and had seen it in that nightmare experience.

why?

As she put the back cover back on, she naturally recalled the Baroness's description of the pocket watch at that time - a sacred object of the church.

Considering that world's pursuit of sequences, since it is a sacred object, the probability of being admired by many people is still very high.

Many people know that it is extraordinary, so it is logical.

But there is a problem here. Considering that there are seven light sequences in the world in the painting, it is obviously impossible for the church to have only one holy object. What about the others?

With the strength of the cult and the large number of nightmare victims who provided information, nothing should be easily missed.

But the content of the dispute between the two just now clearly confirmed that this was the only gain.

Why is this again?

did not find? Or is it that the other items are not special enough - not special enough.

Compared with other sacred objects that were well preserved, this thing was stolen by the countess.

And speaking of which, she also happens to be a woman...

Fu Qian seemed to have found an idea.

In this case, you might as well take a razor and remove the word "ye".

Two subjects merged into one, bringing the Baroness into those words?

[Be gentle with the Baroness...]

This statement is so strange... But if you don't deny it in a hurry, one thing becomes less strange - why was only this one item found?

Why does it seem like it's the only one that has returned from a nightmare?

His mind was spinning, and he felt like he had come to an interesting conclusion.

Because it's not an object, it's a person.

The pocket watch is of the same nature as the Leisen couple, it's just the appearance of the item.

Because of this, it is as ordinary and special as other victims.

……

Now to the last question, why is the pocket watch a Baroness?

Since it was classified as unimportant information, Fu Qian spent a lot of effort to recall the countess's face.

And the state of this person when he left her mansion.

The situation at that time was still very obvious. She had been traumatized repeatedly, her body was disabled, and she was dying. He even called someone for her and advised her to live in peace for the rest of her life.

Even speaking of it, the most severe trauma comes from oneself.

In order to deal with the priest who took her as a hostage, he pretended to negotiate, and when the two of them were unprepared, he directly fired the Breath of the Dragon of Time without distinction - in fact, the words engraved on the pocket watch really did say "the passage of time" Destruction".

Recalling the criminal act of killing prisoners, Fu Qian quickly thought of a development——

The countess was in danger, and the pocket watch that was removed at the time was still on her body.

Then he cooperated with the witch to complete the process of introducing death into the world in the painting.

Under the influence of this change, or with the help of other forces, the Baroness, whose body was decaying but whose will had not disappeared, regarded this church sacred object as the last soul-residing flag?

Then in the tide of nightmares, she also "wakes up" as a dreaming subject with a special gesture like carving words on her body?

It seems that a loophole in this perfect world has been discovered. Sure enough, there are volunteers who make things happen.

I boasted for a moment before paying.

After breaking through the lower limit all the way, and finally trying to decipher the puzzle that the sect could not understand, this reality, which seemed normal at first glance, was finally revealed to be a little unnatural.
