"So, you actually stayed in Trier, the capital of Intis Republic, for three days, and you just returned to Bansy tonight?"

After listening to Angel's long narration, Klein asked slowly with a calm expression.

His face had been gloomy since he came back from Room 312 of "Fire Flame" Danitz just now. It wasn't until he heard Angel's flawless experience that his tense limbs and expression relaxed slightly.

"Yes, I thought you had left Bansy and gone to Bayam. Is it because of Church of Storms?"

Angel At this time, he had simply washed up, changed into a set of dry clothes, and sat down on the sofa in the living room, soothing his weak limbs. At first she thought it was caused by the repeated use of "Knight Bracelet", but soon discovered that it was actually caused by the ritual of returning from Trier to Bansy, because as Spirituality slowly recovered, her power gradually returned to her body.

"How do you prove that you are 'Angel Granger'?"

Klein ignored her fatigue and insisted on asking.

"Okay," Angel said with force, "The one on your left hand is 'Creeping Hunger'. There is an amethyst pendulum on your wrist. I gave it to you at Tingen. There is also 'Biological Toxin Bottle' in your pocket. Well, Sun Brooch is on me..."

As she spoke, she took out "Sun Brooch" sealed in the bullet box by Wall of Spirituality from her pocket - if she didn't do this, drought and thirst would have been tormenting her - and threw it back to Klein.

Then, she told the Mystical Item she was carrying and how to obtain them. These were the secrets of the two of them, and no third party would know the full story.

It wasn't until Angel started to recall how the cracks on her citrine pendant occurred that Klein stopped her with some embarrassment.

"No need to continue, you are indeed 'you', but this is a bit strange..." He frowned and touched his chin with his fingers, touching the non-existent beard, as if he had returned to his Detective identity at Backlund. "You are now on White Agate, but... well, do you know what day it is now?"

"Of course it's Friday, December 24th. I went from Bansy to Trier on Tuesday night. Three days later, I came back here tonight."

Angel felt a little funny, but still answered patiently.

"That's the problem," Klein's mouth twitched, forcing a smile, "It's now December 21st, Tuesday at ten o'clock in the evening. About two hours have passed since you disappeared from the altar in Mountain Top Cave."

"Impossible!"

Subconsciously thinking that the other party was joking, Angel jumped up from the sofa and quickly sat back down because of the soreness in his legs and feet.

"You mean, the three days in Trier were all my dreams? But I got to know the college students there, saw the extraordinary event of people disappearing in Underground Catacombs, had a feast at Intis, and... by the way, I also got five pages of Emperor Roselle's Diary."

She stood up again and returned to the bedroom. She quickly returned to the living room with a stack of manuscript paper that had not yet dried and showed it to Klein.

"These can't be my imagination, right? This is dedicated to Mr. Fool."

Klein's eyes quickly swept over the emperor's diary, and then stopped at Angel's tight lips.

"Of course I believe you," he suddenly smiled, not like the Mad Adventurer who had been playing the whole day, but the Klein that Angel was familiar with, "So we have to find out the real reason why you appeared here and Trier at the same time."

"At the same time... what do you mean?"

Angel first frowned, then his eyes widened, and he said suddenly.

"Yes, when I sent you back to your room just now, I received a 'revelation' from Mr. Fool, who conveyed your words." Klein cleared his throat and used Faceless's ability to imitate Angel's tone, "Dear Mr. Fool, I request you to convey the following words to your believer, Klein Moretti. I am currently in the capital of Intis Trier due to the influence of unknown Sacrificial Ritual on Bansy Island..."

He was kicked hard in the knee by Angel, interrupting his vivid imitation.

But then, Angel lost his mood for teasing and fell into deep thought.

"So, now there is one me on White Agate, and another me on Trier?"

She murmured, recalling her experience three days ago, and she indeed prayed to Fool at about this time.

"Or there is such a possibility," Klein's thinking speed is worthy of his short-lived identity of Detective, "Tonight, on the altar in the cave, you traveled thousands of kilometers for unknown reasons and came to Underground Catacombs of Trier. After leaving there, you asked Mr. Fool prayed, and I received the message. Three days later, you returned to Bansy from Trier, but you did not appear in the cave on Friday night. Instead, you returned to the cave where Donna, Mandated Punishers and I had just left this evening."

"By the way, how did you know you were going to return in three days?"

he asked doubtfully.

"It was the revelation given to me by Mr. Fool. The final facts proved that his hint was accurate."

Angel sincerely praises this mysterious existence.

Klein's expression became a little strange. After a moment of silence, he nodded and no longer pursued the issue.

"Then, there is only one last question left. What force caused you to go from Trier on Friday night to Bansy Harbor on Tuesday night?"

He seemed to be asking Angel, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He seemed not to expect Angel to give an answer.

The latter indeed did not think about this issue. Another question echoed repeatedly in her mind:

"If we can go back to the past through this power, then can we go back to Backlund half a month ago, or even Tingen City four months ago, and save those..."

Her voice gradually increased, becoming more and more excited as she spoke.

"Unlikely," Klein immediately shook his head and poured cold water on her. "The reason why you can go back to Bansy from Friday's Trier on Tuesday is because you have already gone to Trier with the help of this force. Even so, when you return to Bansy, more than half an hour has passed here."

"You did not 'go back to the past', you just 'returned to the present' after three extra days. The most important thing is that these three days of 'Time Reversal' have consumed almost all of your Spirituality and physical strength. I guess this is the reason why Mr. Fool told you that the return time is three days later. If you stay in Trier for two more days, I'm afraid you won't be able to return.

"Of course, if Spirituality is enough and you use this kind of 'Time Reversal', you may be able to stay in Trier for a long time, long enough to learn about something that will happen in the 'future' through the news or even go and explore it yourself, and then return to the present Bansy to achieve a 'prophetic divination' effect in disguise, but there is no way to change the things that have happened."

Angel was a little dizzy from his analysis, but he still understood the conclusion - this kind of power cannot change what has happened, and cannot save the 100,000 people in Backlund, as well as the captain who died in Tingen City.

She deflated like a popped balloon and collapsed on the sofa, her eyes a little dull.

Klein glanced at her helplessly, stood up, and walked to the bathroom.

"I'll use divination to verify it."

He said, Angel nodded weakly, still recovering from his depressed mood.

After many times of "tacit cooperation" between the two, Angel already knew that Klein would avoid everyone during certain key divination and perform divination in private places, such as the bathroom. However, she never delved into the specifics of these powers, leaving enough privacy space for both parties.

Sighing at the other party's reasonableness, Klein closed the bathroom door tightly, walked four steps backwards and came to Grey Fog Space, temporarily becoming Mr. "Fool".

"Let Angel travel through three days and return to the current source of power."

He materialized a pen and paper, quickly wrote this sentence, and then entered Dream Divination.

The divination did not fail as he expected, and vivid pictures soon appeared in the dream, Bansy Harbor shrouded in haze, Trier that he had never been to, but vividly, and deep and strange continuous tombs.

Immediately, the scene was interrupted, and he suddenly woke up from his dream. He found that the Gray Fog around the long bronze table were swirling and floating as if blown by a tornado, forming a thick dark cloud above the palace.

These originally stagnant Gray Fog were fully activated at this time, shaking, flowing, and even affecting the entire mysterious space, as if...

As if resisting foreign enemies!

Klein instantly recalled the similar changes that occurred to Grey Fog Space when he was dealing with the parasitic "Amon" on "Sun" Derrick, and knew that this divination might have involved a power no less powerful than this "Blasphemer".

He conveniently grabbed "Card of Blasphemy" on the long table, and was about to use its high level to induce the power of Gray Fog to carry out an appropriate counterattack. However, before he could take any further action, the dark clouds above his head stopped shaking and fell into the palace like melted ice and snow, returning to the boundless surrounding Gray Fog, and then returned to stillness.

The "offensive" has stopped? Did you find that there was nothing you could do against me, or was the desire to attack not very strong, just a subconscious counterattack, just like when I divined "Eternal Blazing Sun" and "True Creator"?

Klein thought about it, put down the "Black Emperor" card, looked around Grey Fog Space with some fear, and decided not to touch that mysterious power for the time being.

By the way... we also need to give appropriate inspiration to "Angel of Trier" to complete this wonderful time and space Closed Loop.

Countless science fiction movies he had seen in his previous life flashed through his mind, and he smiled nostalgically. Spirituality spread towards the star of "Empress". He was surprised to find that the star was split into two, just like there were two "Empress" at the same time.

He chose the one with a weaker connection and one that was obviously farther away.

"Three days later at the same time, return to the third floor of Underground Catacombs, which leads to... Binsy."

He pretended to be mysterious, said in a deep tone, and threw this image into the star that was waiting for the response of "Fool".

Thanks to the leader of "It's Almond"_(:з"∠)_
