"Seal·Time Flow Barrier"

Xia Mu walked towards the other side of the street, raised his hand and grabbed the pure crystal on his chest, and let out a low moan.

The next second, a faint shimmer emitted from the pure crystal, draining away some of the magic power he had just recovered, and at the same time extracting a small part of the magic power sealed by him.

Although Natsuki's current body cannot bear these magic powers, with the help of pure crystals, he can still release some non-destructive abilities.

The ability he is using now belongs to Alkaya [Witch of Time], but in those three years almost all powerful witches have made contracts with him, so he naturally knows how to use it.

The magic simulates their abilities.

A few seconds later, a faint twisted halo appeared around Xia Mu, and then disappeared in an instant, disappearing into the air.

"Time Barrier"

It is the ability to use the magic of time to isolate external time, solidify internal time, and seal the target...

But if you turn it inside out, you can form a barrier to block external time interference, allowing people inside the barrier to move freely in the chaotic time.

Make reasonable use of your abilities.

The Fallen who specialize in dealing with strange incidents need to learn the most. After recovering their memories, Natsuki's previous accumulation will be integrated together.

In fact, the abilities of all Fallen, Wanderers and Returners themselves are composed of the most basic [data]. Through complex construction, they eventually become a form similar to [Ghost Story Rules] and are displayed in the real world.

.

With the protection of the "Time Current Barrier", Xia Mu no longer had any scruples and went directly to the door of the watch shop and pushed the door open.

At this time, he noticed that a guest came in, and Lawrence, who was busy, stopped what he was doing as before. Everything around him...

It also solidified again.

"Hello sir, what do you need?"

This time, Xia Mu successfully walked into the store, and Lawrence showed no signs of "rewinding". He just raised his tired eyes and asked politely.

Xia Mu also noticed that the moment he stepped into the store door, the time that had been frozen outside resumed flowing. It seemed that... he had passed the first level.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lawrence? My name is Xia Mu. I came here to customize a pocket watch for you."

Xia Mu walked up to Lawrence freely, extended his hand to him, and explained his "purpose of coming" at the same time.

"Sorry sir, I don't accept customization now. As you can see, I have work to do."

Lawrence stretched out his hand to shake Xia Mu's hand, with an apology on his face, and pointed at the pocket watches in the glass cabinet beside him.

"If you don't mind, you can take a look at these. These pocket watches are also made by me, and they are all of high quality."

"No, I don't want these, I want your new ones."

Xia Mu smiled and shook his head, then looked down at the pocket watch on the operating table, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

There is no doubt that this watch is the one in the collection of timepieces and the one that Lawrence wanted to give to his wife as an anniversary gift.

"May your time never stand still, as much as my love for you, my dear Monica"

From his current angle, he could clearly see that there was such a sentence engraved on the inside of the cover of the pocket watch. Since he had not opened the chronograph pocket watch before, he did not notice it.

And now that he has seen it, he can take advantage of it. He can always remember... that he is here to solve the strange story!

"How about I pay a high price to buy the watch you are making? Believe me, the price I can pay must be much higher than the person who customized it."

Xia Mu had an indifferent expression on her face, looking very frivolous, changing her previous polite appearance.

The reason why he said this was simple. He wanted to anger Lawrence and see if the core of the virus was hidden in this guy's body.

If he was there, everything would be easier to handle. He could take action now to clean out the virus!

"Sorry sir, I am going to give this to my wife. This year is our fiftieth wedding anniversary. I want to give her a surprise, but it is impossible to sell it."

However, Lawrence did not show anger when faced with Xiamu's unreasonable demands. He just apologized again and explained the situation.

Um?

Didn't it mean that this guy's mood has been unstable recently? It doesn't look like it?

Seeing that Lawrence did not react as expected, Xia Mu narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but think.

Logically speaking, after suffering a double blow from career and family, it is easy for people to become unlike themselves and fall into a low pressure created by themselves.

Especially for someone like Lawrence, who sees his wife getting weaker and weaker every day and gradually moving away from him, but he is powerless, will undoubtedly suffer psychological torture and depression.

In this case, once a certain "switch" of the other party is touched, it is easy to anger the other party. This is a rule that Xiamu has practiced many times.

And now Lawrence is unmoved, which can only mean one thing...that is, he has not touched his "switch" at all, so he will naturally not be angry.

In other words, the "key" is not in the pocket watch, so...

Is it "Monica"?

As his thoughts flashed, Xia Mu immediately changed his target and spoke again:

"Don't refuse in a hurry, Mr. Lawrence. Regarding your lady's condition, I may have a solution."

As he spoke, without any extra movement, he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed his arm, blood immediately spilled all over the floor.

"What are you going to do!"

Lawrence was shocked when he saw this, and couldn't help but take a step back, thinking that the man in front of him was a madman.

But Xia Mu just smiled, as if he felt no pain, slowly raised his right hand holding the knife, and held the pure crystal in his hand.

"Mr. Lawrence, I will prove to you what I said next, please watch it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he once again used the pure crystal to extract a little bit of the magic power from the seal, simulating the ability of the "Healing Witch".

Then, he brought the wound in front of Lawrence, and under the other's surprised gaze, an emerald green light floated on the wound.

The next second, this bone-deep wound was right under Lawrence's eyes... slowly healing on its own!

"Are you...magic?"

The elderly Lawrence's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

It seems that he still maintains his original "ordinary person" persona in this secret realm, and he is not aware of the previous "time back".

This is normal, most of the rules and secret realms of ordinary level monsters are like this.

"This is not magic, Mr. Lawrence, you can call it magic if you want...

But no matter what it is, the most important thing is that it can cure your wife's disease, and if I can do it, how about you sell me this pocket watch?"

Although he said so, Xiamu had no intention of curing any disease, and with his current magic power, he was unable to use such ability.

What he wants is to meet Lawrence's wife Monica... As one of the key elements of this secret realm, there must be some clues from Monica.

However, what Xiamu didn't expect was that when Lawrence finally calmed down, he slowly shook his head and said:

"Thank you, no need."

"Um?"

"I know my wife's condition myself. She only has a few days left, and no one can cure her. Please let me hurry up and finish the pocket watch. I won't give it away."

Hearing this, Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and raised his eyebrows lightly.

He knew that Lawrence's reaction was very abnormal and did not look like a husband who expected his wife to continue to live.

Otherwise, when he learns that his wife has hope of recovery, even if he does not immediately believe it, he should find a way to confirm it.

Expulsion order?

hehe.

This explains a lot of problems.

Xia Mu is now certain that about his wife...Lawrence has been lying!

Perhaps his love for his wife is true, but his wife's situation is definitely not what he tells outsiders.

Combined with his current reaction, Xia Mu even has reason to doubt...

Is Monica still alive?

Things seem to be getting interesting...

Xia Mu smiled, raised her eyelids and stared at Lawrence:
Chapter completed!
