Chapter 633: Limitations of Perspective

Shangguanyan suddenly discovered that in fact, the order in which things develop does not necessarily have to be this way. There is another possibility!

After Zhou Yanyang died, he became the Death Note. If Wu Shuguo had already obtained the Death Note before meeting her, then some of the contradictory things would be explained!

If Wu Shuguo got Death Pen before he met her, and later met her, before planning the Thirsty Goat Contract, Death Pen would have been an insider, so he would not be within the restrictions of the here and now.

It's even possible that her being found by Wu Shuguo was all prompted by the Death Record Notes!

According to this conjecture, there is only one remaining question.

Why didn't Wu Shuguo tell her about Xia Shou in advance? He clearly knew that he had been looking for Xia Shou.

And telling her that it wouldn't prevent her from continuing to abide by the thirsty goat contract, as long as Xia Shou didn't notice her affection, just like now.

Thinking of this, Shangguanyan suddenly remembered the last time he talked to Lao Ji, the other party once said that they all thought Xia Shou was really dead. No matter whether in the world or in the book, Xia Shou could not be found, but because The things in the House of Merlin didn't escape, so I thought Xia Shou was still alive.

In fact, Shangguanyan wanted to ask Lao Ji at that time what the House of Merlin was, but in order not to leak the details, she could not act so ignorant, so she refrained from asking on the spot, and instead went back to the Control Bureau to check it out. .

Although the Control Bureau has many documentary records about Merlin, the famous archmage, there is really a lot of information about his house. The name Merlin's House has been shared by many banned objects and anomalies, so that she cannot be sure at all. Which one is Ji referring to.

But now, Shangguanyan felt that he needed to ask clearly.

"The House of Merlin has been a bit unstable recently. Are you sure that the things inside won't escape again?" Shangguan Yan said calmly.

Lao Ji narrowed her eyes and sneered mockingly: "You wanted to ask me last time, right? I know you don't know at all, and I just like to see you pretending to know. I won't tell you."

Shangguanyan: "..."

"Kid, if you don't know, just tell me. That room is actually very similar to your management and control bureau. It uses the power of one monster to restrict another monster, allowing the administrator to pay the least cost to manage a large number of monsters, which is a check and balance. La." Xie replied casually.

"Hey! Why did you tell her?" Lao Ji looked dissatisfied.

"So that's it." Shangguan Yan nodded lightly.

Xie Zhen made an exquisite metaphor. In just one sentence, people understood the role of the House of Merlin.

In this way, it is not surprising that Lao Ji said before that things in the house would escape.

Use monsters to check and balance monsters, just like fighting beasts. The elephant eats the tiger, the tiger eats the cat, the cat eats the mouse, but the mouse can in turn kill the elephant.

This kind of cycle is the most perfect, but in reality there is rarely such a perfect cycle. For example, although the Control Bureau can use 678 to digest a large number of dangerous abnormal items, it also needs to provide highly educated personnel as food.

But such a low-cost intervention is already excellent.

It is understandable that Lao Ji made such a judgment. She felt that if Xia Shou really died, the unmaintained Merlin House would inevitably lose control over time. This is a very normal reasoning.

But since the House of Merlin is not out of control, it means that Xia Shou is either fine or has already found the next manager.

Knowing the true identity of the House of Merlin, Shangguanyan could be sure. Based on Xia Shou's performance, she was sure that Xia Shou was using the power of the House of Merlin.

But according to Lao Ji, after Xia Shou's accident, someone took over the House of Merlin very quickly.

From Xia Shou's death to his reappearance, who filled the vacancy during this period?

Shangguanyan already had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure.

It might be Wu Shuguo, but if it were him, some of the motivations for his actions would be difficult to understand.

If the old man inherited the House of Merlin and knew about Xia Shou, why didn't he tell him?

Shangguan Yan sighed softly and turned to look at the tall buildings in the distance with deep and empty eyes.

Although there are more and more clues, some old events are gradually becoming clear.

But on the whole matter, her perspective is still too narrow. Even after so many years of investigation in this world, her understanding may still be inferior to that of Xie and Lao Ji.

After all, no matter how clear the investigation in this world is, she has not been deeply involved in the Kingdom of God where the named person lives. And everything that happened to Xia Shou clearly had the involvement of very high-dimensional beings.

Can becoming a named person bring me closer to Him?

But she is a human being, will she still be herself after becoming named?

Would Xia Shou want to see her become named?

Moreover, since Lao Ji and the others are all Xia Shou's subordinates, Xia Shou must be a higher-level existence, but Xia Shou is not in the Origin Sea, but in the book... It is really incredible.

"In short, it is best to let the kid take care of the boss. She is the only one who cannot be a traitor." Xie said, "As for us, we just need to sign the boss's name this time."

"Stupid dog, don't assume that Mr. Xia Shou really has memory, okay? What if he loses his memory? If he loses his memory, Mr. Xia Shou can't do it." Lao Ji complained.

"How is that possible! The boss must have remembered. Hasn't he used [Flying Time Boat] many times? Also, can you please call me by my name? No matter how good my temper is, my patience is limited!" Zhe said angrily.

"You have a good temper? OK, OK, I got it. I won't call you a stupid dog next time." Lao Ji laughed disdainfully.

Zhe clenched his fists and pretended not to hear.

Seeing that Zhe stopped refutation, Lao Ji felt bored and shrugged: "Stop joking. To be honest, do you really think that Lord Xia Shou is still in the same state? I think even if he didn't lose his memory, his strength must have weakened. Otherwise, why would he use [Flying Time Boat] so frequently?

We all know that only Lord Xia Shou can make the Time River flow back to this extent, but the traitor also knows that everyone's first instinct is that Lord Xia Shou has not changed at all and is still the same as before.

But if that's the case, why did he pretend to lose his memory?

If Lord Xia Shou deliberately pretended to lose his memory and wanted to lure the traitor to attack him again, why did he use [Flying Time Boat] to expose himself? What is the purpose of showing his weakness and strength?"

Shangguan Yan stood aside without saying a word. She couldn't understand it anymore. She could only guess by the literal meaning of the names... [Flying Time Boat] should be the ability to go back in time and space, right?

Zhe glanced at Lao Ji and suddenly said, "You are the traitor, right?"
