Chapter 601 Edward's Experience
When he came to the restaurant for dinner, Edward had already taken off his jeweled raincoat and bamboo hat.

The two of them ordered a random meal and chose a place to sit in the corner at the edge of the restaurant.

"Mr. Edward, when I was in the Ghost Hotel, I saw a man wearing the same straw raincoat as you." Xia Shou asked tentatively.

"You could say that's me," Edward admitted bluntly.

Xia Shou was startled and his muscles subconsciously tensed for a moment, but then relaxed again. His body instinctively entered a fighting state, but his brain quickly analyzed that there must be a reason behind this.

"I heard that occupying that body was the effect of your forbidden item, right?" Xia Shou asked with a frown.

"Yes, it is the effect of [Bao Shi Weng Straw Coat]. Its effect is that the holder of the straw coat can remotely control the person wearing the straw coat suit. To say it is control is a bit vague. To be precise, it is similar to possession of another's body, but it does not really release the soul.

It can be understood as a remote, temporary possession of a body. For conscious living things, the effect depends on the circumstances.

But it works very well on dead bodies. I used the straw raincoat to occupy the body of the Forgotten Butcher. "

"At that time, you really wanted to kill me, right?" Xia Shou's voice suddenly sank.

Edward smiled and said, "Of course, my original plan was that you would definitely die, so it would be better for me to kill you and then revive you.

To be more precise, it should be to erase the results of your death, so that you can all live again."

"What?" Xia Shou didn't quite understand.

“My superpowers are kept secret not because of the memetic effect, but because leaking the secrets will greatly weaken my ability at work, but it’s okay to tell you.

The name of my ability is [Waste Time]. Its mechanism is a bit abstract, but the analysis department finally described its effect as: choose a point in the past and completely replicate your state at that point in time to the present time and space.

And everything I have done during this period will be erased, including the macro butterfly effect, but not including the effects caused by the indirect influence of other people's consciousness, and it will have no effect on memory. "

Xia Shou listened carefully, was silent for a few seconds, looked up and asked: "What is this...?"

"For example, I take out a knife and kill you now, but as long as I activate [Waste Time] and choose a time point before I kill you, you will be restored to the time before I was killed.

To be precise, you will recover to the state where you were not killed by me and then spent those few seconds. This means that you have lived normally until now without being killed by me, because the fact that "I killed you" was erased by my own supernatural power.

It's like it never happened in reality except in your memory.

Although the exact definition is not like this, because it actually happened, it will be easier to understand if we think of it this way for now.

Assuming that I successfully kill you in the hotel, then the filming will end here, and I will activate my supernatural power later, and everyone will be resurrected."

"That's why you killed so many people, but this was not written in the follow-up report. If someone came back to life, it would definitely be recorded." Xia Shou was a little surprised.

"It was the director who helped me hide it. He must have known it a long time ago, but he modified and sealed the real results after the investigation. The post-incident report on the Haunted Hotel was embellished... He is worthy of being the director." Edward nodded in admiration.

Xia Shou nodded, his mind quickly recalling all the information about Edward.

He seemed to have pieced together Edward's experience, but there were some details that he couldn't figure out. "Then how did you get out of the Blood Demon's House?"

When asking this question, Xia Shou already had some guesses in his mind.

According to the information about the Blood Demon's House, ten years ago, when Edward entered the Blood Demon's House, the environment inside the Blood Demon's House was orderly, not upside down.

But after Edward entered the Blood Demon House, everything inside became upside down. At the same time, the Blood Demon incidents caused by the Blood Demon House also disappeared in reality.

But later, Liu Guangyao, the patient who was involved in the Idrisu Sanatorium with him, was deeply troubled by insomnia due to the Blood Demon House, which also proved that Edward did not solve the Blood Demon incident from the root.

The blood demon incident has not disappeared.

In other words, the Blood Demon incident has always existed, and it is because the victims cannot distinguish between dreams and reality that ultimately lead to massacres in reality.

However, the distorted and inverted environment of the Blood Demon's House allows the victims to distinguish between dreams and reality, so the victims can all kill each other in the Blood Demon's House instead of killing each other by mistake in reality.

Moreover, Liu Guangyao had seen Edward in the Blood Demon's House, which meant that Edward was still active in the Blood Demon's House at that time.

"I messed up the layout of the Blood Demon's House. In the past ten years, I have been maintaining order in that house, helping those in need, and of course, I have also been working in reality through them.

There is no door in the Blood Demon's House, or rather, there are doors everywhere. The victims who were pulled into the house, each of them has a door in their sea. Have I ever dreamed of this?" Edward looked at Xia Shou meaningfully and smiled.

Then, he immediately went on to say, "The door couldn't bring my body back to reality, but it was enough to allow my personality to pass through."

"So you were actually outside the whole time, but you didn't contact the control bureau..."

"Well, I think it's best to act alone. If some things can't be explained clearly, then trust can't be established. You also understand this very well."

Xia Shou remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

What Edward said was absolutely right. If you don't say some things, you won't be able to gain trust. If you say them, then it's all over.

For example, reaching the pinnacle, Merlin's House, and Black Shadow.

Some things cannot be said at all, and some things are a crime of possession. Even if you firmly believe that you have no bad intentions, since you are carrying a nuclear bomb, don't blame others for thinking that you may have bad intentions.

Even if they think you have no bad intentions, they know that there will definitely be some people who think you have bad intentions.

As long as there are those who are suspicious, there will inevitably be targeting, and once targeting is created, then even if you originally had no bad intentions, you will definitely have bad intentions.

Reasoning in this way, there are only two possible outcomes in the end - you will do bad things; or you will not do bad things now, but everyone knows that sooner or later you will be forced to do bad things.

Once this complex chain of suspicion is formed, trust cannot be established and it is better to keep the secret.

"I'm back now because the situation requires me. I've come here specifically to help you." Edward said, staring into Xia Shou's eyes.
