Chapter 60: People were still
putting aside their undue complacency and pride, and Ronald reorganized the clues of the whole matter.
A lonely data room.
The original book whose face is still unknown is the culprit that caused everything to happen.
He and Patricia went to the data room and even entered it.
The entire process was unattended, no one interfered, and no one blocked it.
Looking at the dust on the original book, you can understand that this thing has existed in Burrenwich Railway Station for a long time, and no one has ever discovered it.
Therefore, there is a high probability that something accidentally stimulated the magic book, which triggered the rampage of power.
In this way, the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes can be temporarily ruled out.
All he has to do is to put an end to the magic book rampage.
From the previous exploration session between the two, it can also be understood that the time at Burrenwich Railway Station was neatly
"Wait..."
Thinking back to this, Ronald suddenly turned his head and looked at the train track.
I just cleaned the wound with self-reflection. Although it didn't take much time, it should have been more than 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
So -
why hasn't Dongfeng come back yet!
Just now when he was being thrown around by the power of the original code, this train was still going back in time!
Could it be that some kind of change has occurred at the train station?
"."
After a few seconds of silence, Ronald returned to the edge of the platform carrying the kettle.
Then he simply jumped down.
At this moment, the Dongfeng had already disappeared from the end of the field of vision.
The winter sunshine shines in the quiet station. Only a few trains that are still being supplied are parked on the spacious platform. Without station workers working, they can only stay in place quietly.
Walk to the position where the time dividing line was previously determined in one breath.
Ronald stopped and glanced at the seemingly empty place in front of him.
He remembered it clearly.
Because when they were looking for the time division position, he and Patricia had determined the trajectory of this line many times to ensure the accuracy of the data.
This location is right in front of you.
"I hope things won't go wrong again,"
Ronald muttered as if to convince himself, and handed over the kettle in his hand.
Then.
The kettle was half empty -
this precautionary action had its intended effect.
At this time, Ronald was only holding the upper half of the kettle in his hand, while the lower half disappeared directly into the air, completely missing.
Withdrawing his hand -
the complete kettle immediately returned to his eyes, with no trace of imperfection visible on the surface.
This situation is exactly the same as Patricia's experiment in the data room.
"."
"Is that so?"
He looked thoughtfully at the empty air in front of him.
Ronald made a rough estimate based on the structure of the train station in his mind, moved his position, and then stretched out the kettle.
After making sure there was no obstacle on the other side, he stepped forward.
Snap—
Stand firm with both feet.
What followed was a sudden change in the scenery in front of him.
Ronald was still on the train platform before, but now he was only one step away, and he was already in the square directly in front of Burrenwich Railway Station.
"."
"It's really like this."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ronald couldn't help but sigh.
His previous actions had caused the time distortion in the train station to become a space distortion; and now the data room had a high probability of changing from a space distortion to a time distortion.
The time and space differences between the two have been swapped!
"Oh -"
"Anyway, I still have to go to the reference room first."
Ronald lowered his head and sighed, and then walked towards the office building.
In any case, since the rules of dividing areas into sectors have not changed, the center position of this power will probably not change either.
Just walk inside.
The road I take to get off work every day feels completely different now.
In less than five minutes, Ronald returned to the office building he had not left for too long.
How they looked since the last time I saw them.
Neither the office building nor the database have been significantly changed.
The sun poured down diagonally from above the station, casting long shadows on the buildings and the ground. Everything around them was eerily quiet.
There is no one here either.
To be more precise, there is not even a trace of a sparrow in the empty train station, which is like the opening of a horror movie.
On the first floor, the door to the database was still open.
It was as if nothing had changed here since he was thrown out by the power of the magic book.
But compared to the worst case scenario.
It's actually fine now.
The space divided into 24 equal parts around a database was not as crowded as the room. He did not have to suffer the awkward experience of his body being divided. Ronald walked to the warehouse door intact.
Adjusting his position outside the corridor, he looked over.
Take a look at this.
A white-gold figure came into view.
Unlike herself who was thrown around, Patricia was in the room at the moment, also alone.
Because the distortion of space changed into time, the girl broke away from her previously divided and curious appearance, and instead stood in the room as a complete human being.
Facing the magic book placed in front of her, the girl still frowned.
She cannot break the power of the original text.
At this time, the sound of Ronald's approaching footsteps outside the house was heard.
Patricia immediately turned her head and looked out the door:
"Ronald?"
"Why did you suddenly disappear just now?"
"My previous method was a bit too rough, so I was thrown out by the power of the original code."
Step forward. Go to the door.
Seeing that his companion was intact, Ronald was relieved, but at the same time he did not forget to ask:
"How have you been in there during this time?"
"Have you made any new discoveries?"
"I"
Just as the girl was about to answer, her figure suddenly flashed in the room.
There was no process in between. She directly changed from facing Ronald to facing the magic book.
"Huh?"
exclaimed -
the girl jumped back suddenly, as if she had encountered something incomprehensible.
After jumping away from where she was before, she first looked down at her hands, then quickly raised her head to look at her surroundings.
At this glance, Ronald, who had just walked to the door, caught his eye as he should.
Immediately, as if she had discovered Ronald standing outside the database for the first time, Patricia took two steps back and asked nervously:
"Ronald?"
"Weren't you in front of me just now? Why?" Did you just run outside?"
"And the space divisions in this room!" "
."
"Patricia, calm down first!"
Looking at the girl's defensive look, how could Ronald not understand? The scene in front of me means something.
He showed his hands and took two steps back to show that he meant no harm.
Then he explained loudly:
"The distorted state in the data room and the train station has changed, and now the time in the database is going back!"
