Chapter 601 Edward's Experience

When they came to the restaurant to eat, Edward had already taken off his jeweled raincoat and bamboo hat.

The two of them ordered a meal and sat down in a corner at the edge of the restaurant.

"Mr. Edward, when I was in the Ghost Story Hotel, I saw a person wearing a raincoat exactly like you." Xia Shou asked tentatively.

"You can say that it was me." Edward admitted directly.

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 it.

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

"Well, it's 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. It's a bit vague to say that it's control. To be precise, it's similar to taking over the body, but it's not really letting the soul go.

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

But for dead bodies, the effect is very good. At that time, I used the straw coat 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: "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 result of your death, so that you can all live."

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

"My ability is highly confidential, but it's not because of the memetic effect, but because leaking it will greatly weaken my ability at work, but it's okay to tell you.

My ability is called [Idle Time], and the mechanism is a bit abstract, but the final analysis department described its effect as: choose a time point in the past, and completely replicate your state at that time point to the present time and space.

And everything I did during this period of time will be erased, including the macro butterfly effect, but not the effects caused by the indirect influence of other people's consciousness, and it has 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 I just need to activate [Idle Time], choose a If I don't kill you, you will recover to the time before you were killed.

To be precise, you will recover to the state where you were not killed by me and then spent those few seconds. It is equivalent to 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.

Except that it happened in your memory, it is as if it did not happen in reality.

Although the exact definition is not like this, because it actually happened, it will be easier to understand if you think about it this way for the time being.

Suppose you were successfully killed by me in the hotel, then the filming would end here, and I would activate my supernatural power later, and everyone would be resurrected. "

"That's why you killed so many people, but this was not written in the subsequent 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 conceal it. He must have known it a long time ago, but after the investigation, he modified and sealed the real results. The post-event report on the ghost hotel was modified... worthy of being the director. "Edward nodded in admiration.

Xia Shou nodded, and quickly recalled all the information about Edward in his mind.

He seemed to have pieced together Edward's experience, but he couldn't figure out some details.

"Then how did you get out of the Blood Demon House?"

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

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

But after Edward entered the Blood Demon House, the inside became upside down, and at the same time, the Blood Demon incident 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 because of the Blood Demon House, which also proved that Edward did not solve the Blood Demon incident from the root.

The Blood Demon Incident did not disappear.

In other words, the Blood Demon Incident has always existed. It was because the victims could not distinguish between dreams and reality, which eventually led to the slaughter in reality.

But the Blood Devil's House, with its disordered and inverted environment, allowed the victims to distinguish between dreams and reality, so the victims could all kill each other in the Blood Devil's House instead of killing each other by mistake in reality.

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

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

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

Then, he immediately continued: "The door cannot bring my body back to reality, but it is enough for my personality to travel through it."

"So you have actually been outside all the 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 deeply."

Xia Shou was silent, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Edward was right. Some things can't be trusted if they are not said out. If they are said out, it's over.

For example, reaching the pinnacle, such as Merlin's House, such as the shadow.

Some things can't be said at all, and some are guilty of holding a treasure. Even if you firmly believe that you have no bad intentions, since you have a nuclear bomb on you, don't blame others for thinking that you may have bad intentions.

Even if they think you don't have bad intentions, they know that some people will definitely think you have bad intentions.

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

With such reasoning, there are only two results in the end-you will do bad things; or you won't do bad things now, but everyone knows that you will be forced to do bad things sooner or later.

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

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