Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

However, facing his gaze, Morin seemed unaware and said with a smile, "I'm just a little more changeable."

Is it changeable?

Charles shook his head. In fact, Morin was a very "dedicated" person.

No matter which face it was, he created it to achieve his own purpose.

Every mask is him, but not the real him.

Hidden behind countless masks, sometimes even Charles couldn't really see through him.

"Sir, you said before that I could ask you some questions." While Charles was thinking, Morin looked at him with a kind look.

Ciel nodded, "Of course."

"This isn't the first time I've spoken frankly with you. During our last conversation, you inspired me greatly."

"I owe you a favor."

This is a lot of information...

Many thoughts ran through Maureen's mind.

But he didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Charles thinking about something.

"You can put aside the matter of favors for now. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me directly."

"Although I took the initiative to pause the game with you, you also brought me a lot of fun before the pause. This is my reward for that fun."

"If you can tell me, I will tell you directly. If you don't want to tell me, I will refuse to answer."

Morin was a little uncomfortable with Charles' straightforwardness.

But he didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Sir, you said this is not the first time you have had a frank conversation with me."

"It's the second time." Ciel nodded, then explained, "The first time we met, you discovered some of my flaws. After I took away my memory, I left behind many flaws, intentionally or unintentionally, and you eventually discovered them all."

"After a few times, I recognized your sensitivity. Out of curiosity, I talked to you and performed some experiments on you. In the end, I obtained some information that might be very useful to me."

"Have you erased that memory again?" Morin was a little surprised.

Judging from Charles's generous behavior now, my existence must be of some use to him.

Since it was of some use and they talked about it openly, why did they erase their memories in the end?

He had erased it, and now he was saying it out loud. Charles's behavior made Morin a little confused.

"I didn't do that, it's just that you forgot." Charles said while cutting the watermelon with a knife.

Theoretically, Ciel only reversed time and didn't take away anyone else's memories. For most people, memories of that period simply didn't exist, so there was no such thing as taking them away.

"Did I forget?" Morin frowned.

“Some things are not in the past, not in the present, but in the future. The future of the past.”

"A future or a past that has happened but will not happen again." Charles said while eating watermelon happily.

Chapter 210: Morin's Speculation, an Unexplainable Paradox

A future or a past that happened but will never happen again?

Anyone else would probably be very confused by Ciel's cryptic answer.

But Morin looked at Charles thoughtfully.

Unlike the other times when he approached Charles after finding his weakness, this time Morin approached Charles in order to explore the secret of Mernadè.

He did this because Mernadette was too pure and even a bastard like Morin didn't want her to be polluted, so Morin wanted to use Charles as a breakthrough point to investigate the abnormalities or interesting things about Mernadette.

Before coming, Mernadette told Maureen about a dream she had.

A dream about Theresa Severus, a dream about the future.

At the same time, Floys and I discovered the strange things that happened to Mernadette - she was clearly in school, but the next moment she was back in the study in the manor.

Mernadette "dreamed" of the future, but was it really a dream?

The future she dreamed of did not happen, nothing happened to Severus's family, but strange things happened to her and even to other people.

The future in her dream did not appear, but her time was strangely three and a half days longer than that of others.

Several factors combined, although it is absurd.

But a strange idea popped up in Morin's mind.

"Time!" His face turned a little red, and the excitement in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"Can you tell me when was the last time we talked?" Morin's eyes were filled with pleading.

"The evening of April 5th." Ciel was a little surprised, but he didn't hide it. "That day I made you a promise, allowing you to tell me your decision the next day."

"But we parted without saying a word the next day."

In the evening of April 5th?

Now that makes sense...

My guess seems to be correct.

He noticed something unusual on April 2nd, and soon after, he learned from Mernadette about some strange things that had happened to her. So, he turned his attention to Charles.

On April 5, he was thinking about the plan to check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps, and did not have much contact with Charles.

A future or past that will never happen.

For him, talking with Ciel happened in the future after being rewinded, and at the same time it happened in the past at this time.

But because time has been reversed and some things have been changed, that "future" or "past" will no longer happen.

Suppose everything he said was true.

So does the reversal of time have anything to do with him?

Maureen carefully recalled every word that Mernadette had said.

Severus!

As Mernadette spoke, Severus' family suffered a disaster.

And now, Theresa lives in Rocks Manor. After April 3, all the members of Severus' family, except Doug, settled down in the City of Eternal Night. They spent a huge amount of money to buy a tavern and an adult products store, and have never left since then.

Some things seem to be right.

Around April 2nd or 3rd to 5th, members of Severus' family were attacked and almost wiped out.

In order to change this outcome, Charles Rocks reversed time.

As a result, I also "forgot" some things.

wrong...

This conjecture is the most likely thing to happen, but it also has many flaws.

Firstly, if time went back, then why was Mernadè not affected?

You know, if it is really as Charles said, then it is not just the time of a certain place that is reversed, but the time of the entire world is reversed.

Under this premise, how did Mernadé ensure that her memory and even her body were not affected?

Secondly, if Ciel was really as powerful as he suspected, then the Severus family shouldn't have suffered a disaster.

Following Mernadè's words, Charles chose to go back in time for Theresa.

This shows that Theresa is very important in his heart. Since she is important, everything related to her will be treated specially.

In the extraordinary sequence, the extraordinary skills related to time and going against the entire time are almost like plots in myths or knight novels.

A true master of time observes or influences the future rather than the past.

If Charles Rocks could reverse time, he would definitely be able to see the disaster that befell the other members of Severus' family.

No matter from which perspective, eliminating hidden dangers or any solution in advance is easier than going against time.

There's no reason for him to do this.

Wait, maybe we can change our thinking. If time has not been reversed, then everything he said is the future he sees.

His words can be understood in another way.

The future or past that happened but will not happen again may be equivalent to a future he deduced.

It's just the future he sees...

It seemed like many things were explained—except for one thing: Mernadette's sudden appearance and the extra time she had.

paradox.

Among all the speculations, only Mernadè's sudden disappearance and reappearance made Morin unable to make an effective judgment.

It seems that in all the speculations, her existence is like a bug.

More and more sweat gathered on Morin's forehead.

Slowly, many details came to his mind again.

During this time, a new order emerged in the Kingdom of York, and the catalyst for this new order was the disappearance of the God of Vengeance and his organization, the Mother Tree of Vengeance...

And the time they disappeared seemed to be April 2nd...

According to some of the "friends" he made.

The God of Vengeance and some members of the Mother Tree of Vengeance that existed in the Kingdom of York disappeared suddenly.

He disappeared without anyone noticing, leaving no trace at all. Even a demigod wouldn't be able to find any trace of him.

This way of disappearing is very similar to Mernadè's.

The only difference is that one disappeared and then reappeared in another place, while the other disappeared completely and was sentenced to death...

With this factor added, the probability of time being reversed is greater than the probability of deduction.

Suppose that for some reason, Charles Rocks did not discover what happened to Severus' family, and after they encountered misfortune, he reversed time in order to reverse this misfortune.

At the same time, in order to prevent this misfortune from happening again, before reversing time, he solved the root cause of Severus' family's misfortune - the Mother Tree of Vengeance or the God of Vengeance.

After reversing the time of the entire world, the only thing left out was the Mother Tree of Revenge that was killed in the "future".

Because his time was not reversed, he was not in the present that was reversed, but was banished to the "future" - a "future" that would never exist. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, he "suddenly" disappeared.

But this was not the case for him. He might have spent three wonderful days in another "future" before being killed.

Chapter 211: Morin's Choice

Maureen thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't figure out why Mernadé was so special.

But putting this aside, he has figured out a lot of things.

"Back in time."

"On April 5th, or April 6th, there was a time reversal."

"That backtracking brought the date back to April 2nd."

"That's when Mernadette suddenly disappeared from school."

While Morin was speaking, his eyes kept meeting Charles's, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to see something clearly.

But unfortunately, all he saw was calmness.

Morin was very smart. He guessed roughly everything that had happened before in just a few minutes based on some simple clues.

Charles believed that even he himself could not do this if he just relied on intellectual reasoning.

However, considering his previous style and what he had done, such wisdom is understandable.

If Morin's words just now had not mentioned Mernadè, Charles would have generously admitted some things.

But when it came to her, Charles remained silent.

For a moment, Morin was unsure whether his guess was correct.
