Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 357 Second time: Black Jade Door

When Xia Shou jumped into the door, he did not fall. The gravity adjusted to normal state the moment he crossed that boundary. He just jumped on the spot and landed steadily on the ground.

This was not the first time he came in, but he had no memory of this place at all, only an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

There are no boundaries or walls here, and the only entity that can be seen is an antique wooden dining table.

There were empty plates, knives, forks and chopsticks on the dining table, and a burning candle in a golden candlestick, the flame flickering quietly in the darkness.

"Lord Xia Shou, I have a... very familiar feeling." Alice said softly.

Xia Shou frowned slightly, feeling as if he had heard this sentence from Alice before.

He walked to the table and looked at the flame above the candlestick as if out of habit, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his excellent eyesight allowed him to instantly see the words floating on the flame.

Xia Shou was not surprised at all, he knew what he would find in this place!
Xia Shou picked up the candlestick and observed the words illuminated by the fire. These words reminded Xia Shou of his own special ability - [Text Description].

【I think this isn’t my first time traveling through time. 】

[For some things, I have a very deep impression and remember them clearly, but for some things, they are very vague, as if I had seen them in a dream, or I am in a dream now.]

[Maybe I have lost my memory, or maybe I forget too quickly, just like waking up from a dream.

When people just wake up, they can remember the vague feelings and plots in their dreams, but as long as they are active during the day, it won’t take long for those originally strong impressions to fade away.

Even those impressive dreams will be forgotten as time goes by.

People cannot remember a dream they had ten years ago. 】

It was all weird and Xia Shou couldn't understand it.

But combined with the interpretation of this dream, Xia Shou could guess what the person who left this message wanted to express.

This was not the first time this person had traveled to this world, but he had forgotten everything he had experienced in previous times, leaving only vague impressions, just like waking up from a dream.

The guess that he had thought of many times came to Xia Shou's mind again this time.

Could it be that he just forgot something?
Could it be that these words were left behind by his past self?

Xia Shou held the candle, and words floated continuously in front of him.

Most of the text is intermittent and the information is not coherent, like someone's random notes.

But Xia Shouneng could vaguely understand what the other party wanted to express and could empathize with him.

[…But what if…the dream is real? Even if I forget everything I did in the dream, can I still accept the identity I had in the dream? ]

[I am studying the differences, or priorities, between the world of the Control Bureau and the ordinary world before I crossed over.

I don’t know if I have ever conducted such research before, but at least this time, this inspiration appeared in my mind for the first time.

I wonder, was the world before I traveled through time necessarily ordinary?

In fact, when I traveled here and came to this world with countless anomalies, the original world was actually no longer ordinary.

When there is any slight connection between the ordinary and the extraordinary, then the ordinary itself is extraordinary, just like a mortal will be out of place among ghosts, a dot of black on white paper and a dot of white on black paper.

Why can't I think that the world I originally lived in was just a "normal world-class area where the abnormality level reached the EX level, dominated by ordinary physical rules, with no contradiction between order and laws, and all abnormalities are prohibited from taking effect"?

Is it possible that there are not two worlds, or that the world contains the world?

Worth studying...】

[I thought of some bad possibilities, that is, I was crazy. I was in an ordinary world, but I dreamed of a bizarre and supernatural world. Mental illness made me feel that this world was very real and I couldn't tell the truth from the false.

Another possibility is that I have gone crazy and there has never been an ordinary world. I just tampered with my own memory and thought I had traveled through time, but in fact I had not traveled through time at all.

Of the two, the former has a slightly better result. The former just means that I am sick, but the latter means that I am contaminated.

However, with my current strength, I am still unable to detect the characteristics of this pollution, which proves that the root cause of the pollution is something I cannot explore.

Of course there is another possibility, that is, these two worlds do exist, and I travel back and forth between the two worlds through dreams. 】

Without even realizing it, Xia Shou had picked up the candlestick and was walking slowly in the empty space.

He read invisible words floating in space.

These texts are not simple records like diaries, but information contained in information, as if they can be used for conversation, and deeper information can be dug out from the texts!

When Xia Shou focused his attention on a certain word in a passage, he could see that the black strokes that made up the word also had different shades of black, as if someone was painting another picture on the black canvas with a darker black.

Just like the illusion painting technique used by Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", the amazing multi-layered foreshadowing hides a huge amount of visual information at the bottom of the surface, and finally completes this masterpiece. And now, the same is true for these words. Under the information, there is more information, which is almost infinite!

When reading these words, Xia Shou felt that they were describing himself, a time traveler from an ordinary world, who was so similar to him.

What is even more amazing is that the author who left these words' conjecture about the two worlds completely coincides with an idea he once had!

If his and this person's conjectures were correct, then the world before he crossed over was most likely just an abnormal area with a very high priority.

Although such a definition does not seem to have any impact on the lifestyles of the residents of the two worlds.

But for Xia Shou, the meaning is completely different. This proves that he may not have traveled through time, but simply left the village!
As for the others who didn't travel through time, they simply hadn't left the village yet.

"Alice, could I be this person?" Xia Shou stared at the words and clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't know how to describe his current mood, but he began to understand what the "credible yet suspicious evidence" mentioned in the death note meant.

A message left by someone who looks exactly like him is enough to gain his trust, even if it has no basis at all.

Soon, Xia Shou saw another noteworthy description.

[If this is a dream, this series of dreams is undoubtedly a novel adventure, but I saw that book today, and I ■■■...]

The text that followed turned into a large piece of black, incomprehensible graffiti, as if the written words had been crossed out again.

But Xia Shou knew that the book mentioned in this sentence was definitely "The Season When the Stars Fall"!
"Damn, how come it was crossed out?!" Xia Shou used his ability of text description to try to see the words clearly.

If these words were really left by him, then his special ability should work.

Xia Shou felt that his supernatural power was taking effect, but he could not affect the crossed-out words.

The power that crossed out this information was much stronger than he was.

Xia Shou continued to read anxiously, and after skimming through a large number of deleted and revised parts, he finally saw a sentence that could be read.

[Some things themselves cannot be recorded, but perhaps time travel is not an adventure, and dreaming is just a way for ■■■Please ask the dream bird to summon me here from the lowest narrative level.

My world is not an orderly world with extremely high priorities.

Anyone can do it, but why me?

Why is it that in this book, a supporting character's name only appears once, after he is arrested for murder? 】

"Damn it, what's the point of this riddle man? Damn, can't you just talk properly?"

Xia Shou cursed angrily.

Alice coughed lightly and said, "Master Xia Shou, please calm down. Maybe you... maybe the person who left these words didn't want this to happen."

Even Alice felt that this information was left by his past self.

Xia Shou's hand holding the candlestick was shaking slightly. He now felt like a person who was reading a mystery novel and had just reached the answer part, but when he turned the page, he found that the next few pages had all been torn off by the previous person who borrowed the book.

I feel terrible.

"Lord Xia Shou, if we still forget everything we have seen here after we go out this time, then the only thing left will probably be the scars on your hands. So even if you are angry, just be patient." Alice persuaded.

Xia Shou took a deep breath and nodded.

That's right, stay calm.

The Death Note said that because of Li Tianhe and Zeng, the situation was somewhat out of its control, so the note let him come in here to find a solution.

So... the key words are Li Tianhe and Zhe.

【Text description】——Start!
Xia Shoujiang used his special abilities to search for the names of these two people, just like filling in the search bar of a website.

In an instant, a dark shadow flew across the candlelight, and countless overlapping information was gathered above the flame.

"It really works." Xia Shou was slightly surprised.

He couldn't remove the scratches that left the text, but he could search for the words.

【Li Tianhe, the ferryman on the River of Time.】

[Zheng, the gatekeeper of Moyusi. ]

In addition to the simplest description, there is also a large amount of description about Li Tianhe and Zeng's personal information.
