Quenched long order

Chapter 224 Law of Causality

Riddler.

This is Sauer's feeling about 17, and it's not an ordinary riddle.

However, he knew that the other party must know the situation in Twin Towers Town, because it was impossible for him alone to find the town below him in a short period of time and discover the anomalies in it.

The polar tundra is a vast area.

Sauer followed 17, leaving the red tent of the acrobatic performance and walking towards a remote part of the town.

On the way, 17 moved strangely, sometimes moving forward and sometimes retreating. This scene reminded Sauer of his time in the slums of Ximu Port. In order to obtain the statue of the King of the Black Domain, he followed the slum killer and encountered a red room. In the room, a homeless man was sitting in the corner, and he could not reach it normally because the time and space in the room had been changed.

"Should I do the same thing as you?" Sauer asked.

He was worried that the other party had forgotten to tell him.

17 answered by shaking his head.

Sauer blinked, said nothing, and followed silently.

Until...a slight cry of pain reached my ears from around the corner.

Sauer looked towards the direction of the sound and hurried over to find out. However, when he passed by 17, his arm was grabbed by 17, as if it was hooked by a stone pillar. He instantly lost his balance and faced backwards. Fall down.

Not right.

Sauer stabilized his body and did not fall, but the feeling just now still made him a little scared.

After he stood firm, he moved slightly away from 17 points.

Even if the opponent is caught by surprise, even so, one can judge the opponent's strength... as solid as a rock.

"Sorry." 17's tone was very calm, without any apology, as if he was executing a program.

Sauer nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The discovery of the follow-up that night, coupled with the observations of these days, the suspicion has already turned into certainty. The only question is only one-what is the human-looking guy in front of me.

"Let's go." 17 took the lead and walked towards the direction where the cry of pain came from.

The two turned a corner and saw a man wearing white clothes and white trousers lying on the ground, with blood spreading from his stomach like a bloody flower.

Even without getting close, Sauer could tell by sensing the air that the man was no longer breathing. Apparently, death had taken his life.

If he had rushed there in time, he might have been able to delay his death, but now, it was too late.

Sauer walked over and observed the deceased carefully. He found that the deceased was dressed like a member of the acrobatic troupe and had a well-proportioned figure. This was quite different from people who had lived on the tundra for a long time.

An outsider who came to the town with the acrobatic troupe was killed in a remote part of the town.

murderer……

Due to 17's obstruction, it has long since disappeared.

"Now, you should tell me, right?" Sauer looked back at 17 with a serious tone, "If I guess correctly, you are not human at all, right?"

Faced with Sauer's question, 17 did not deny it, but nodded heavily.

"You are...what?" Shaoer asked.

17 slowly said: "Do you know...the law of cause and effect?"

Sauer looked puzzled and replied: "What do you mean?"

There is knowledge related to the law of cause and effect in his memory, but he is not sure whether this knowledge from before the time travel has the same meaning as the land under his feet.

"The basic logic of everything." 17 took a step forward, "I took a step forward, so I am standing here now, not where I was just now." As he said, he pointed to the body on the ground with his right hand, "He Killed, lifeless, unable to move, so always lying there.”

Sauer blinked and did not answer.

It would be inappropriate to interrupt the other party now. You should not act rashly until the matter is clarified.

"This is the basic rule of the world." 17 continued. Sauer nodded.

"...Sauer, if the world loses the law of cause and effect, or there is a problem with the law of cause and effect, what do you think will happen?" 17 threw the question over.

"The sun rises from the west?" Sauer thought for a while and gave this answer.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange movement behind him.

The man who was lying motionless on the ground actually started to twist his body. In less than two seconds, he stood up again. The man patted the dust on his body, glanced at the two people with a puzzled expression, and then walked towards the red tent. , and at the same time he muttered:

"Didn't a girl call me out just now? Why are there only two men?"

When the man left, Sauer did not stop him, but he found that the blood stains on the man's body were gradually fading until they finally disappeared completely.

"Aren't you in pain?" Sauer asked softly.

The man in white turned back and glanced at Shaoer, with doubts in his eyes, as if he was looking at a delirious person. The man in white did not explain or answer, but sped away.

After the man in white left, 17 said: "It's also possible... when you raise your wine glass in the tavern, the sun will rise, and when you put the wine glass down, the sun will set."

Sauer frowned and replied: "From your point of view, this seems to be tampering with the law of cause and effect? ​​Let the rising and setting of the sun be linked to the raising and lowering of the wine glass."

Can this kind of thing really be done?

With this ability, wouldn't it be possible to do anything?

He was very doubtful.

Suddenly, Sauer remembered the interrogation record, and the information about Daniel completely disappeared.

"and many more."

Words that were previously incomprehensible seemed to connect together at this moment.

"what do you mean……"

Sauer took a deep breath. He always thought that he was out of the situation, but that might not be the case.

"...I am also part of it, right?"

He quickly took out the interrogation record and flipped through it until he saw a page about memories. There was nothing on it. The content that was clearly written on the same page was missing most of what it was when he first saw it.

"You can think so." 17 lowered his hands by his side and his body movements became stiff. "Think about it carefully, if there was nothing in the record, if there was no abnormality in the law of cause and effect, would you still be here?"

Sauer was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and answered.

Without the information in the interrogation record, he probably would not have come to the polar tundra, but would have looked for the quenching path that Kraut once said, which could allow the soul to recover from the disaster in a relatively safe way. Temper and improve your level to obtain the soul body as soon as possible.

Lacking a soul body, when he walks on this continent, when he encounters real difficulties, he is likely to be like being imprisoned, lacking the ability to protect himself.

This was also the reason why he didn't go to save Bury immediately, and it was also one of the reasons why he didn't return to Stewart Island immediately.

He must have the ability to talk to his opponent, otherwise, it will just be another corpse.

"If I hadn't seen the information about Daniel, I wouldn't have come here at all, and now, these contents are disappearing. Is there... any force preventing me from getting closer?"

He thought about this.

"You mean...someone is using the law of cause and effect to stop me?" Sauer took a deep breath and felt a chill on his back.

The attack from the law of cause and effect was carried out unknowingly.

He didn't feel any danger, he didn't notice the impact at all, he just felt strange.

The soul has not burned. Perhaps the memory still remains because the soul is resisting this change.

Everything happens unconsciously.

He didn't even know what the consequences of failure might be.

"It's also possible..." 17 looked at Sauer, a pair of black eyes shaking, "... you are here because you have tampered with the law of cause and effect."
