That’s the best Leonard Churchill could assume.

He pondered for a bit, then reminded, “Elder Clinton, if we disappear again next time, please make sure to tell me the four words ‘Time Retrospection1 as soon as you find us.”

Elder Clinton gave him a puzzled look, “Huh?”

Leonard Churchill didn’t want to explain anything complicated.

This old man’s memory isn’t good, it would be great if he could remember these four words.

As he walked, he repeatedly reminded Elder Clinton, “Remember to say ‘Time Retrospection!”‘

Elder Clinton couldn’t understand, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless.

A mournful sound…

The roar of the train sounded.

Leonard Churchill and the others stepped off the train.

Finally, in front of them, it’s not the unending sight of the Stygian River Water.

In the dark mountainous shadows at the edge of their vision, there seemed to be many ancient buildings.

“Ah… we’ve finally arrived.”

“Yeah, I can’t believe we took a train…”

Upon getting off the train, Leonard Churchill, clutching the bronze snake in his hand, didn’t have time to reflect on his feelings.

As the group was chatting, at that moment, a voice that sounded like a duck quacking hollered from a distance, “Time Retrospection! Time Retrospection!”

Leonard Churchill and the others watched as a sleazily postured figure ran towards them from the dark distance, instantly on high alert.

There has been no living creature in these ruins for thousands of years; this one is probably not human.

But the voice is familiar…

However, before they could act, they were surprised to find that the man with the gap-toothed smile running towards them from a distance was no other than Elder Clinton!

Leonard Churchill and the others got goosebumps.

But as they looked back, Elder Clinton’s figure was nowhere to be seen!

But he had just gotten off the train with them, hadn’t he?

Before the three of them could figure out what was happening, Elder Clinton ran up to them and said, “Leonard, you asked me to tell you ‘Time Retrospection’!”

He then muttered to himself, “This damn place has changed back again. Huh… why would I say ‘again’?”

When Leonard first heard these four words, he was bewildered.

But after a glance at Elder Clinton who had suddenly popped out of the ruins, Leonard gave it more thought, and it only took him a second to understand.

He stood there, stupefied as if struck by lightning.

He realized… They may have been trapped in a bizarre time domain!

And only Elder Clinton, the bug who’s unaffected by time, can deliver the message.

Different thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still asked for confirmation, “Elder Clinton, are you sure… this is what I asked you to say?”

Elder Clinton, in the most confident tone he’d ever heard, said, “Yes! You said when you guys disappear again, let me tell you these words when I see you.” Again?

Leonard flinched at the sound.

He had a feeling that something was off.

But he knew he had said it, so he understood.

These four words carry a lot of information!

On the other hand, Catherine Carter and Colin were a beat slower, feeling a chill creep up their spines at that very moment.

What on earth was happening?!

They were desperate to know.

The four of them walked towards the dark depths of the ruins.

After asking a few more questions, Leonard Churchill had a rough idea of what had happened.

They had actually arrived at the ruins of Summer Shepherd City three or four days ago.

But due to “Time Retrospection”, their memories and circumstances returned to the instant they got off the train.

It’s like a story that has turned several pages, but suddenly turned back, starting from the beginning.

Leonard Churchill and the others are characters in this story.

When the pages turned back, their stories began anew, remembering nothing.

Elder Clinton, however, was an exception.

He is less like a character in a book, and more like extra notes scribbled on the storybook by some mysterious hand.

“Elder Clinton, when did we arrive?”

“Two or three days… or maybe four days ago? I don’t remember very well.”

“So… Elder Clinton, what did we do in the ruins yesterday?”

“I… I forgot… Anyway, I thinkwe just wandered around the city…”

As they went along, Leonard Churchill kept asking questions.

As expected, Elder Clinton couldn’t provide any useful clues.

Leonard Churchill also found that in the time loop, Elder Clinton’s memory loss symptoms seemed to have gotten worse.

However, even this small piece of information was enough.

Leonard Churchill knows that given his personality, he would have left a clue for himself upon discovering the problem with this Mysterious Realm.

Entering the city might reveal some clues.

But he inoculated himself, saying, “If time rewinds again, Elder Clinton, please be sure to tell me ‘Time Retrospection’ again.”

Elder Clinton accepted this much more easily this time, “Oh.”

Listenting to the bizarre conversation between Leonard Churchill and Elder Clinton, none of the others could get a word in edgeways.

The convoluted reasoning coupled with the eerie time-reversal Mysterious Realm was enough to bewilder even the astute Catherine Carter.

But Leonard Churchill remained calm.

If he had survived at least two cycles, it means there is no direct fatal threat in these ruins, right?

But being reset every day seems like a deadlock already.

This is not a problem that power or abilities can solve.

Having fallen into it, he’s not the type to fret about predicaments.

On the contrary, he was rather excited about the mystery of this time-loop Mysterious Realm.

“Elder Clinton, did I leave anything for you?”

“No.”

“Think again?”

“Even if I think it over, no. Ah, ah, ah, don’t rummage through my pockets, there’s nothing in this old man’s possession…”
