"Wait a moment, something happened."

The alchemist with slightly messy golden hair and a warm and ethereal voice suddenly put down the reagent bottle in his hand, whispered instructions to the dirty children next to him, and then took out a pocket watch from his pocket. He stared intently at the dial that only he could understand.

Because she once asked a certain saint to help her adjust the time, Luna was very confident that the pocket watch in her hand would not show even the slightest error for at least three hundred years.

The current time is 6:59 minutes and 48 seconds in the current world, and it is also 6:59 minutes and 36 seconds in another world.

At this moment, there is only a twelve-second time difference between the two worlds, and twelve seconds later in this world, the time difference will coincide in a 'moment' that ordinary people cannot feel.

But this moment in his own eyes was a full twelve hours to outsiders like Hei Fan and Chen Wangyu.

After this moment, the time in this world will still be seven o'clock sharp, but the time in the other world will become nineteen o'clock on the same day.

After this moment, the time difference between the two worlds was erased for a moment, and it would become a full twelve hours in that theoretically undetectable moment, and would overlap again twenty-four hours later in my own body.

What goes around comes around.

So, is there any way to capture that 'moment' that no one can detect, and even if they know the truth, there is nothing they can do?

Is there any way to make the time that only people from other worlds can experience be noticed by people like me who are born and raised in this world?

Luna Lynch was very curious about this. To be precise, she had been in a state of curiosity since she was shared with the information about "people from another world" and specifically asked Mo Tan and Yu Chen about it.

Most scholars and people who are dedicated to studying the field of occult science have a curiosity far beyond the average, so it is not surprising that Luna Lynch is in such a mood.

However, since there will never be a shortage of 'unknowns' in this world, everyone will naturally not want to satisfy their curiosity indiscriminately. In fact, although the issue of the time difference between the two worlds was raised at the end of the meeting in Academy City, There was such an uproar that more than four figures of scholars tried to study out the secrets, but in less than a week, less than 1% of the people were willing to continue research in this area.

There is no other reason. In fact, we can’t find any entry point at all, because in the eyes of all locals in the Innocence Realm, there is nothing special about AM06:59:59, AM07:00:00 and AM07:00:01. , of course, many forces that players are willing to cooperate with have already determined that these 'outsiders' spent a full twelve hours in these three seconds, but the problem is that except for the players themselves, no NPC can find them. There are some clues in it.

They are very aware of the existence of 'anomalies', but they have no clue about the way to observe 'anomalies'. Moreover, no rational person thinks that there is any need to continue this subject, and no one will do it. Disappointed.

The reason is very simple, because everyone knows that if people can continue to make breakthroughs in space, then the concept of 'time' is still a forbidden area that even gods cannot touch, so although people are willing to study it politely It is addictive, but I am not surprised at the result of "no results". Rather, it would be more scary if the research actually produces some results.

But Luna is different. Although this is not her main topic, since knowing the 'difference point', even if there is no gain at all, she will still make a 'routine calculation' at this time every day, and after the 'measurement' Make adjustments.

At six fifty-nine minutes and fifty seconds, the three hands of the pocket watch emitted an imperceptible burst of light.

At fifty-nine minutes and fifty-five seconds, the dial in Luna's hand suddenly disappeared for about 0.02 seconds.

Fifty-seven seconds, several wisps of mist that will constantly change the taste due to its own structure escape from behind a few numbers.

Fifty-eight seconds later, the bottle-cork pendant on the girl's fair neck began to gradually heat up.

Fifty-nine seconds later, Luna secretly used 'Refining' on her left hand.

"call……"

Without leaving a trace, he restored his left hand, which had all its phalanges stripped off, to its original shape. The young alchemist frowned slightly, sighed softly, then raised his hand and waved away the haze that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and then closed the hand that read " The pocket watch, which was well maintained and had never been used when writing, finally flicked the bottle stopper necklace with my finger, allowing its temperature to drop again before it could burn someone.

There is no doubt that this was another failed calculation. Even though she was fully prepared, Luna still failed to 'capture' the time that slipped through her fingers.

This is not surprising at all. You must know that Luna is just a very high-level non-mainstream alchemist. Although she has high attainments in alchemy, her individual strength is actually only that of a mid-level mage. It's just a level. Although her combat power cannot be considered weak with the help of a large number of props, Luna can catch something when those veteran epics, giant academics, half-step legends and even legendary experts can't figure out the reason. What kind of clues are illogical? Even if most people have given up, it is illogical for her not to give up.

When the research scale and conditions are not of the same order of magnitude, although talent and efforts are by no means useless, they are just a drop in the bucket, especially when researching a high-precision topic like 'time'. If others know , no matter how reserved a person is, they will probably make a comment about a girl that says, "I don't know how high the world is."

It's just that Luna doesn't care, or even knows about it, or even if she knows, she won't care, because she is not the kind of girl who cares about what others think of her.

Do what you want to do and don't do what you don't want to do. This is Luna Lynch's lifestyle. It is so simple and direct that compared to someone who has a hundred twists and turns in his mind, it is almost It can be called a 'rough' attitude towards life.

The slender alchemist who let desire be loyal to herself, but never loyal to desire, had long mastered the shortcut to embark on the wrong path, but never took it, breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her misty blue eyes and looked across from the alchemy table. The girl who stared straight at him asked: "What did you want to say just now?"

The little harpy, wearing a simple linen blouse with a slightly red nose, stood up on her tiptoes, flapped her wings vigorously, and said loudly: "Mom, dad, let me thank you, sister!"

"unnecessary."

Luna shook her head, and while continuing to fiddle with the bottles and jars in front of her, she said casually: "I just followed the order of Pastor Heifan of Doumbouya City to help. If I want to thank you, I can go to Pastor Heifan when I have the opportunity in the future. Say thanks."

"good!"

The harpy girl who looked really cute and had some baby fat grinned, looked at Luna with innocent and clear eyes that were somehow gray, and said loudly: "But, thank you, sister! I still For the first time, I’m not hungry anymore! There’s also dad and mom!”

"Well, I understand..."

Luna nodded slightly, then raised her hand and waved: "Go home, don't disturb me."

"Know it!"

The little girl nodded obediently and said loudly in her clear and high-pitched voice: "Goodbye, big sister!"

"goodbye."

Luna responded casually, and then continued busy with what she was doing. It wasn't until the little girl ran far away that she asked in her signature voice, as if she was talking in her sleep: "What's going on?"

"Um?"

Half a meter away, the cat sorcerer, who was folding her arms in a daze, turned to look at Luna and asked in her melodious voice: "What's going on?"

It has to be said that the lady with the game ID Chaoyue Aoi is indeed very deceptive in appearance. She has crisp and refreshing shoulder-length short hair, a dark dress with high fashion value, soft and charming delicate facial features, plus her With a very magnetic cigarette voice, he looks like a character with a lot of heart when viewed horizontally and vertically. Even from a visual perspective, he looks smarter than Futaba, who at first glance looks like an underage bean sprout. too much.

But the fact... is not the case at all.

Although the player Aoyuki Asagi is very deep and fashionable in appearance, under her appearance that is particularly suitable for conspiracy and trickery, she hides an abnormally offline brain. If anyone really thinks that she is intelligent As a character, if you want to play charades with this cat lady, it is basically the same as ogling a blind man (or playing the piano to a cow).

In fact, Miss Yuekui is actually a very simple person, and can even be said to be a very simple good person. She is so good that people often think she is nosy. As for her painting style in the game, well, we can understand it as It is a kind of packaging driven by interest.

Here I want to criticize Mo Tan, or the Black Brahma Priest with the "absolutely neutral" personality. You must know that he was deceived by Yue Kui's appearance before, and directly used a lot of hints in the way of talking about dealing with smart people. As a result, They didn't understand a single word and almost caused a big misunderstanding.

And in fact...

Do you know COSPLAY? Do you understand role-playing? Yuekui, who is a member of the [Second Class 2 Club] like Tian Xingdao and Cholera, actually just gave herself a very 'smart' temperament. This kind of thing is actually not difficult at all for a senior otaku culture enthusiast. What's more, she is not a specific COS character, but a whole persona and temperament, and it is not too easy to operate.

To sum it up, although Yuekui looks like a femme fatale at first glance, she is actually a silly and sweet good-natured person.

But this has nothing to do with Luna. After all, no matter who she talks to, she is extremely simple and direct. She can directly open her mouth to ask the Son of the Sun to control the holy water.

so--

"What happened to that harpy girl just now?"

Luna turned to look at Yuekui and said calmly: "I can see that she seems to have a certain degree of mental retardation and is much more stupid than ordinary people."

Yuekui was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile, walked to Luna and lowered her voice: "The child... is called Lesa, as you said, she is indeed a bit... inadequate compared to other peers. Aura.”

"It's not a question of whether it's effective or not."

Luna shook her head and continued to ask: "So, why is this happening? Do you know the reason?"

"I guess I know, because I like that child very much, and I have talked and asked about her parents before."

Yuekui sighed and said softly: "To put it simply, when Lysa was two years old, Skolk suffered a heavy blow and was surrounded and suppressed by the blood barbarian forces headed by Guillotine for a whole month. , although they finally broke out of the encirclement with all their might, they also suffered huge losses, not to mention that supplies were scarce, and nearly half of the people died."

Luna frowned: "I didn't ask that..."

"Listen to me."

Yue Kui turned to look in the direction where the girl left, with unconcealed bitterness in her tone: "During this process, Skolk sacrificed many warriors, and most of them were incapable of fighting...such as Lysa and her Although my parents escaped under cover, they were still having a hard time, and the biggest problem at the time was food."

While wiping the two reagent bottles she had just emptied, Luna nodded and said, "Oh, what next?"

"I've heard that too. Anyway, the general meaning is that everyone tried their best to escape the encirclement, but there was a serious lack of food and medicine. Adults can still eat some things that are difficult to swallow to support themselves, but children... …I can’t chew grass roots or eat tree bark.”

Luna nodded thoughtfully: "Well..."

"So at that time, in order to hold Lysa's life, her parents used a earth method...well, it should be a earth method in this world."

Moon Kwai lowered her head and adjusted her skirt while recalling: "I remember... I collected moss from the shadow of the south-facing stone during the new moon, crushed it and put it with water..."

"[Qingmian]."

Before Luna could finish speaking, Luna interrupted the latter softly: "If given to young children, the subject will be in a state between suspended animation and coma for a long time, and this process can indeed be done without eating... But if The time is too long or the frequency is too high...well...I understand..."

Yuekui blinked: "What do you understand? Do you know how to save her?"

Obviously, although this girl was a little out of touch, she was definitely not stupid, so she immediately realized that the faceless alchemist girl in front of her probably did not intend to sit idly by.

"No, it's too late. It's been too long."

"Well……"

"However, I happen to have some research on this aspect, so maybe it's not completely impossible."

"Eh!?"

"I have half an hour to rest at noon. Ask her to come find me at that time."
