Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 277: Notes I wrote to myself

"Mr. Su Lun, I'm sorry, I'm late"

Jutta’s sad and self-reproaching sobs echoed in the space.

Su Lun's first reaction was that he was hearing hallucinations.

He immediately tried various means, but found that he was not in a deep illusion at all, nor was he affected by some special spiritual force field.

Everything is fine in the properties panel.

Right now, it’s all real.

At this time, the sobbing in my ears continued.

"I came as soon as I received the communication signal, but you"

Suellen was sure it was Juta's voice.

She cried very hard.

Am I dead?

After listening to the content of those words, Su Lun realized something: Yuta saw his own body, and that's why he cried so sadly.

But it seems that a key link is missing, making the scene very strange...

I am obviously alive and well, why would "Yuta" say that I am dead?

And, where does the sound come from?

Su Lun’s thoughts started to spin rapidly.

Hypothesis 1: What I heard was auditory hallucination (basically ruled out)

Hypothesis 2: It’s really Jutta, or some other ‘Utta’ who is talking (√)

He instantly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

After eliminating the first hypothesis, thoughts will automatically complete various logical causes and effects of the second possibility.

The Wolf's Claw amulet hanging around Su Lun's neck is Yuta's real name, Wolf's Claw, and has some connection with her.

Su Lun didn't know what caused him to hear Yuta's conversation through the air, but it was probably because of the wolf's claws.

So, Yuta was here and saw his body?

But why can I hear her talk but not see her?

Su Lun ruled out that he is now in a soul state.

He thought, maybe it was something like a "gramophone"?

No!

Confusing timeline?

Su Lun realized something instantly.

I am not dead now, so is there a possibility that what Yuta saw was his "future" self? !

Jutta is in this corridor, even right in front of him!

But not the same timeline.

But after I die?

Because of some special power, I heard her crying across time and space.

"So I'm going to be trapped and die here?"

Su Lun came to a conclusion, and his eyes immediately became serious.

Black crows will give warnings, which means there must be some "fatal danger" in this space.

There is no doubt about this.

Isn’t Yuta outside? How could she appear in the cursed space?

Su Lun had a thought in his mind and instantly understood that he probably sneaked in for the inheritance of the Daru tribe. This silly girl was probably afraid of worrying herself, so she didn't tell her.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

If he really died in another timeline, Su Lun must find out the cause of his death as soon as possible. Maybe he can avoid it and survive now.

He tried to call Yuta, but found that the other party could not hear him.

"Yuta" saw her body, and the best way was to ask her personally.

You can also determine whether your guess is correct.

But sound can only travel in one direction, so how can she know?

Su Lun saw the wolf fang amulet on his chest, an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of a way.

"By the way! Since my body is still there, it means that the Wolf Fang Amulet is still there"

Su Lun's eyes flew, he pulled off the amulet, and then carved a line of small words on it: "I am Su Lun, Juta, I can hear you. If you see it, tell me what you saw. ."

He quickly carved these words, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

If it was as he suspected, Yuta saw his body in the later timeline.

Then, she should also be able to see the words on the wolf teeth!

The moment after I finished carving the words, the sobbing in my ears suddenly stopped!

Juta over there seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then cried with joy: "Mr. Su Lun, is it really you?"

When Su Lun heard this, he was delighted: I guessed it right!

He quickly carved another sentence on the wolf's fang: "It's me! Can you see the words on the ground?"

After all, Langya was too small, so he wrote some words on the ground: "I may have fallen into a space with a chaotic timeline. Please describe in detail what happened and what you saw."

After writing these two sentences, Yuta's response came from the air: "You can see it! I'm sorry, Mr. Su Lun, I didn't listen to your instructions and secretly entered the cursed space."

Sure enough, this is exactly what Su Lun thought, this Druid lady came in secretly.

She continued: "I just suddenly received a message from the communicator that you specified a route and asked me to come over. I came, and then I saw you. No, it was a corpse. On the corpse was the wolf I gave you. Claw Talisman, and then I thought it was you."

""

When Su Lun heard this, he was confused again.

It turns out that it was my corpse that contacted Yuta through the communicator, and she found this place?

What is going on here, a corpse fraud?

Su Lun quickly carved another line of words on the ground: "What else?"

Juta from another time and space saw the writing on the ground and obviously hoped that it was not Su Lun's body.

But she looked carefully and probably suspected that she had fallen into an illusion or something else. Her tone became uncertain and she said: "It's a mummy, like a corpse that died of natural aging. It's very old. It seems. It’s really your corpse. Mr. Su Lun, are you a ghost now?”

Mummy that died naturally?

Su Lun turned his eyes when he heard this.

Does this mean that he did not die accidentally, but died of old age due to sleepiness?

No!

If there were no accidents, Su Lun felt that he could live for at least 180 years.

Moreover, food reserves cannot support natural old age and death.

Doubts flashed through me one after another.

Su Lun's brain started working rapidly.

He instantly eliminated some erroneous logic.

Then the only possibility is that there is some kind of weird "chaotic timeline" in this space that makes "oneself" die of old age in an instant?

Valley

Su Lun thought of this and immediately realized that there was a big problem.

Since he is not dead now, what he thinks of is to save himself.

"If it is really my own corpse, since I made a communicator to contact Yuta, I must have considered something. I will never let her take the risk, even, 'I' know very well that I will die."

Su Lun knows himself very well.

He quickly thought of something and carved another line of words: "Yota, check the storage ring on the corpse to see if there is anything like a notebook."

As Su Lun said, he also took out his notebook and began to record everything that happened now.

Perception can be deceived, and even memory can be distorted, erased, and tampered with by some extraordinary power.

But "bad writing" will not!

This stupid method sometimes works wonders in some special situations.

And Su Lun himself had the habit of taking notes. He thought that if he fell into a maze and wanted to solve it, he would definitely leave notes!

As soon as these words were engraved, Jutta's response came in the air: "Hey, it really does happen!"

Su Lun felt like he had grasped the key point, and immediately wrote: "Read what's on it."

"Yota, you received the communication, which means you must have sneaked in. When you see this notebook, it means that the delay communicator I made can last for more than two hundred years. It can still function despite the erosion of time. Tsk tsk, the craftsmanship is pretty good. At the last moment when I decided to step out of space, I thought about my life. Although it was short, it was wonderful. I never regretted that I came. Writing this paragraph, It’s because I left something for you, and some words were right, so don’t be sad. I quite like you too.”

When Su Lun heard Jutta read out the passage in the note, he once suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Did Neptune’s words really come from “himself”?

So what would you think of these things if you were in a desperate situation?

In the air, Yuta was crying as she read.

She continued reading.

"You must be wondering what happened and why I died here. If nothing else, am I a mummy now? I hope it doesn't scare you. If I guess correctly, I fell into a trap We are in the 'time mystery', and the ratio of time here to the outside world is 1:3700. In other words, if I stay in the space for one day, it is equivalent to ten years in the normal space. And I stayed for more than 20 days, really When you step outside, your body will instantly age two hundred years. Therefore, what you see should be a corpse that has died of old age."

That’s it!

When Su Lun heard this, he immediately realized the beginning and end of the matter.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the cursed space around him, and blurted out a word in his mind: "Fuck."

Nima, if you stay here for one day, it will be ten years outside?

No wonder I'm so sleepy.

But at the same time, he was also looking forward to it.

Because according to his personality, he will definitely not wait for death, but will find a way to crack this space.

Furthermore, since a note was left, it means that there must be a detailed process of cracking it!

Jutta continued reading: "I explored every part of the maze and found a way to crack it, but it was too late. It took me more than twenty days to crack it in this space. After I came out, it was two days. More than a hundred years. If I had been hiding in space, I might have been able to live for a long time. But when I came out at that time, it would be a pile of dust, and not even a corpse could be left. I would never survive in this life. So, I plan to leave Come out. This is the way I choose to leave this world, with my heart still. Don’t be sad. When you see this note, it proves that everything I speculated is correct. If you encounter similar troubles, You can also go out this way."

Jutta must have been crying until the rain was like pear blossoms. She felt the sadness across time and space. She started crying while reading: "Wow, Mr. Su Lun, you don't want to die."

But Su Lun had a different feeling in his heart. After hearing these words, he immediately became hopeful.

He carved words on the ground and asked Yuta to read them all. He was afraid that the signal would suddenly be cut off: "We are not dead yet. But if you can't finish reading, I might really die."

"I" once racked my brains and spent more than twenty days before going out. If I try it again, I'm afraid the time will not be short either.

One day equals ten years, and he can't afford it.

Fortunately, fate did not play tricks on Su Lun, and there were no surprises.

Yuta also realized the seriousness of the matter upon hearing this and continued to read the contents of the note.

"The notes at the back are a bit confusing. I have sorted them out for your convenience. If you need, you can go and see what I did at the end of my life. But having said that, this 'time mystery' is quite interesting. This world is wonderful, but unfortunately, life is too short. I understand some of the meaning of death, and I seem to also understand some of the meaning of life. If you give me some time, I will probably make my life more exciting and this world Everyone knows that I have been here before, but there is no general idea."

「」

The following contents are mostly methods of cracking this "time mystery".

Su Lun carefully recorded in his notes the cracking methods that "he" had left behind.

He also saw that "he" had taken too many detours.

Because I had to explore the entire maze and look for clues, so much time was wasted.

Now, he only needs to follow "his" note-taking strategy and can save himself from the process of exploration.

Not long after, after listening to the method, Su Lun was convinced: "So this is how he got out"

With this strategy, he is confident that it can be done in half a day at most!

After reading this note, it stands to reason that there is nothing important anymore.

What needs to be explained has been explained, and everything that needs to be said has been said.

However, Yuta read a few words on the last few pages that made Su Lun's calm mood suddenly send a chill down his spine.

"I seem to have forgotten something very important, which makes me wonder. How could I do such a thing? What guides me to do this? Or did I see something that made me have this idea?"

"Hey, why did I write this paragraph? Is it because of some external influence? I'm sure that there are other 'things' in this space! Something beyond my knowledge! ”

Su Lun's hair stood up instantly when he heard these words that sounded like "rumours".

He looked at the dark space around him and couldn't help but think: "Besides the chaos of time, are there any other terrifying existences here?"

Fear comes from the unknown.

Since I can allow myself to write those words in my notes, that thing must exist.

Some kind of monster?

The law of chaos in the God Burial Land?

Or something else?

Su Lun frowned.

At least that "thing" didn't kill me in that timeline. It just forgot something. It doesn't seem to be a big problem?

However, there is one sentence at the end of the note.

"I wanted to figure out the source of this feeling, so I carefully rummaged through all the items I brought with me, cleaning them one by one. Then, I finally discovered an anomaly. I couldn't remember how the [imitation original rune] came about. It’s coming!"

When Su Lun heard this, he suddenly became furious.

He instantly felt like a ghost was blowing a breath of cold air on the back of his neck.

He was surprised to find that he really couldn't remember where the [imitation original rune] came from!

"I remember that I seemed to be under the illusion of a monster, and then I was caught on the stone wall?"

Su Lun saw the trophy [Thousand Fantasy Magic Crystals] in his storage space and recalled the origin of the runes.

Is it that simple?

Taken from the mural?

The logic seems to be correct.

But it seems that it shouldn't be so easy.

Su Lun immediately realized why "he" wrote that sentence in the note.

He then realized that his memory was missing something.

Not much, but crucial.

In this cursed space, there is a "special existence" that his subjective consciousness has forgotten or ignored

However, this issue is not the time to dwell on it now.

The time ratio in this space is so astonishing. Every second wasted is a huge waste of life.

Su Lun carved the last words on the ground: "I'm going to crack the space, Juta, be careful."

A well-behaved response came from the air: "Yes. Mr. Su Lun, you should also be careful."
