Chapter 486 Shackles of Rules

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Regarding the topic of time backtracking, both Muggles and wizards have conducted quite complicated explorations and researches, but in the end, they have never Man can find a conclusion.

As a former Muggle, Maca is not a scientist, and he doesn't know Novikov's principle of self-consistency and a series of deduction rules about time paradox; and now, as a wizard, he is also far from being able to With the degree of contact with the rules of time, it is even more impossible to understand the mysterious and mysterious magic principles.

Even if he had even met his future self once, even if he had witnessed the future self die in front of his own eyes, he still failed to accurately assess the true horror of the time rule.

Now holding the time converter in his hand, what he knows is only one thing—time retrogression will bring a huge burden to people. If the retrospective time exceeds about five hours and twenty-three minutes1, the human body will be damaged.

This rule is not a conclusion drawn from some theoretical research, but it was tested with fresh lives by wizards who used the Time Converter in the past.

If you compare it with the situation of the self you met in the future, this rule without the slightest theoretical basis seems to be ignored.

However, what can more than five hours be used for?

Maca didn't know, but he couldn't tolerate him thinking too much now. He had to use the Time-Turner right away, and it wasn't too late to think about it after he had used it.

After putting the extra four converters into his waist pocket, he quickly hung the gold chain of the converter left in his hand around his neck, and began to move the small hourglass in the middle of the golden ring.

The moment Maca started to turn the hourglass, there was a loud "boom" in his ear, as if someone had knocked on a broken gong with enough force in his ear.

The strong discomfort made him frown immediately, but his hand didn't stop.

As the little hourglass turned, everything around him seemed to be covered with an inexplicable mist. The fog wasn't thick, and it didn't have any color, but it made him unable to see anything around him clearly.

Immediately afterwards, when a large number of colorful objects entered his field of vision, he finally understood what the "four-dimensional horizon" that his future self had mentioned a little bit was all about.

While going back in time, the colorful things that appeared in front of his eyes are also constantly growing and extending... from behind him to the front, and from the front to back behind him, intricately and endlessly, in the There were long and winding strips in his eyes.

Maca guessed that those long objects should all be people. That is the appearance of human beings in the four-dimensional world, which is the so-called "disgusting long worm" in the mouth of the future.

If the spatial position of a person at every time point is fixed, such a scene will be formed.

But since human beings exist in that way in the four-dimensional world, what would it be like to use the Time Converter?

While continuing to turn the hourglass, he turned his head quickly to take a look.

No, there is nothing behind me. That is to say, as a time traveler, he has escaped from the time limit and is fixed on the original space coordinates.

But if this is the case, when the moment comes when he stops turning the hourglass, he will obviously be in a universe of nothingness, right?

Even if he has not learned any complicated theoretical knowledge, he still knows that the earth is rotating all the time. And it's not just as simple as rotation, you know, it is still revolving around the sun!

If you think about it further...

No, before he had time to continue diverging his thoughts, the hourglass had already turned five times. Maca hurriedly put away what was in his mind, and immediately stopped moving his hands.

Suddenly,

His vision shook suddenly, and his whole body twisted. Immediately, he found that he was no longer in the Time Hall of the Department of Mysteries.

After hastily looking around, he realized that he was actually standing on a small hill near Hogwarts!

"... Was that the feeling of apparating just now?" Maca thought for a while, then nodded again.

Perhaps that's right, the last twist of the whole body should be the Apparition Curse.

The unpleasant experience of being stretched, flattened and stuffed into a tube, even if it wasn't Apparation itself, should be a similar way of moving in space.

After a little thought, he affirmed this point, and realized that his previous worries were completely unnecessary. What's more, it's not that no one has used the Time Turner before, he's just thinking about it himself.

Backtracking in time does not fix the traveler on a space coordinate, but goes backwards with the turning of time. And at the moment when the backtracking ends, the traveler will be moved by the time converter to the vicinity of his own position at that time point, so as to escape from the coordinate point where he was in the past.

After putting aside these messy space-time relationship issues, Maca couldn't help sighing. Because he found that even though he had experienced time travel once, the pass was still missing the point. It is conceivable that the rule runes about time are far from what he can touch now.

Is this a secondary rule? No, this is definitely the depth that can only be achieved by the few third-level rule runes.

Although there is a strong desire for this kind of profound knowledge, it is obviously not the time to think too much now. It should be past 4 o'clock in the morning, and in less than four hours, Voldemort and Greenwald, who is hiding in a floor-to-ceiling mirror, will follow one after another.

There is not much time left for him.

Voldemort doesn't need to think about it, Greenwald is the target he has to deal with. Even though Retaliation never seemed to have targeted malice, he had to deter Reaction's actions.

But where Greenwald is now, he has no way of knowing.

Maca with a time-transverter hanging around his neck could hear a slight but clear sound ringing continuously in his ear, "click click" ringing continuously, with a clear regularity of intervals.

This sound seemed to remind him all the time that time was mercilessly marching towards that terrible future step by step.

And what he can try to do now is to evacuate the crowd in the castle first.

However, just as Maca took a step with his right leg, his whole body froze immediately. Time passed by, but he was still unable to take the second step.

"...can't pass."

Yes, he cannot pass. Because he found that if he entered Hogwarts at this point in time, he would definitely be noticed by himself at this point in time.

What would happen if your past self found your future self?

Maca, who had personally experienced a similar situation, immediately hesitated for a while. He couldn't be sure whether the death of his future self at that time was due to this reason; he also couldn't be sure whether the spherical three-dimensional rune array also had the function of preventing this from happening.

I remember that Dumbledore once said to Hermione that during time travel, you need to avoid being exposed to the eyes of others as much as possible, especially your past self.

At this moment, Maca couldn't help feeling distressed about the fact that he could sense magic power for the first time.

After he was in a daze for more than ten minutes, he deeply realized the difficulty of being a time traveler. A shackle called "rule" has been heavily placed on him, who violates the rules, and he has the illusion that he is unable to move an inch.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized how much effort the old Maca, who died in front of him, had put in to break the indestructible shackles and walk in front of him.

Now he doesn't even dare to say that he understands something, he just guesses, there must be countless problems that he doesn't understand. And in order to solve these problems, he will give at least his whole life.

After confronting his various fears for a long time, he sighed blankly.

While lamenting that he has sighed a lot lately, he had no choice but to put those unknown dangers first, and on the premise of avoiding the worst situation as much as possible, he began to plan the next step. road.

There are too many things that he doesn't understand, just a rule of time is much more complicated and complicated than all the subjects he has studied so far, and he has to force himself to be extremely cautious.

If you make a wrong step and die in the past, then nothing can be redeemed.

Maca looked around again, seeing the snowy night and the icy air all refreshed him. But no matter how refreshing he was in the environment, he couldn't suppress the boredom in his heart.

After hesitating again for a moment, he simply waved away a piece of snow and sat down on the ground.

Hogwarts was not far away, but he didn't dare to take a step closer to it. Endless worries kept him back again and again, even though those worries might just be meaningless guesses, it was still difficult for him to move forward.

"At this moment... I should be checking the rune array map in the castle vestibule, right?" He thought to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's a waste of effort."

Just like that, Maca thought for a full two hours on this snow slope near Hogwarts. It was only when a layer of gray light appeared faintly on the mountain top in the east that he realized that the dawn had come unexpectedly.

"In that case, just cut off Greenwald on the periphery of Hogwarts!"

Looking at the castle that gradually became clear in his vision, Maca nodded silently, and took out his staff. Calculating the time, Dumbledore's funeral will begin in a little while. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
