Schiller was alerted by this question. Since Jerome had asked it, that meant he might also be able to communicate with someone in the hotel where he currently was, though such communication might not be real-time.
His earlier theory about a time difference became clearer. If the two hotels existed at different points in time, with one preceding the other, then the person in the earlier one could leave messages for the person in the later one. They could effectively communicate, especially if they occupied the same room. Anything left behind by the person on the earlier timeline could be seen immediately by the one on the later timeline.
But if that was the case, how could there be a time difference? A cause in the past produced an effect in the future; changing the past should have immediately affected the present.
Then Schiller thought of something else. In that case, only the person at the earlier point in time could leave messages for the person at the later point. The future could not send messages to the past. Perhaps that was why communication was so difficult: only the past could direct the future.
Schiller did not answer immediately. After dragging things out for a while, he said, "Yes, but time is limited, and there is a price to pay."
Through Peter's eyes, Schiller saw the look of understanding on Jerome's face. Schiller did not ask any further questions, while Jerome sent a message: "It seems this kid is just an ordinary person. Then you must be someone formidable. I think we can cooperate and uncover the truth behind this incident together."
Schiller gave a cold snort and sent back a message. "You said no one can get out of this room alive. Then you should treat me as a
