Chapter 2550 Red Butterfly and Cabinet
The broom closet on the third floor that the waiter mentioned was also checked by Shade after he turned into a cat in the morning, but to no avail. After lunch, he went to the corridor again in the form of a cat, and when no one was around, he opened the locked broom closet and hid inside.
Brooms, mops, buckets, gloves, cabinets, trash cans, there was nothing particularly worthwhile in the slightly narrow broom room. Standing in it, Shade closed his eyes and sensed it carefully, but found no abnormal elements.
Dark Vision helped him see every corner here. He even checked every scratch on the wall, but still found no strange traces:
"Echoes of blood."
He blinked and saw some blood stains on the rag in the cupboard, but it looked like the cleaner had accidentally put some blood there.
“Echoes of the past.”
The first echo was the residents in the corridor talking about a symphony called "Sonata in the Forest".
The second echo was the cleaner who opened the broom closet and was quietly complaining about cleaning up the drunkard's vomit on the first floor.
The third echo is——
"Apples, apples, fresh apples! Who wants fresh apples!"
"Ok?"
Xia De, who had closed his eyes to enhance his hearing, suddenly opened his eyes. The third echo was clearly the hawking of street vendors, and the accent was definitely that of the Vista area.
The sound was extremely clear, and it didn't seem to come from the street across half the corridor and the window. And the direction of the sound was clearly the cabinet in the broom closet.
The wooden cupboard looked very old and was tilted to the right. Shad guessed that it was broken furniture from the guest room that was put here for recycling.
The upper layer of the cabinet has a glass window, which contains tools such as gloves and brushes used by cleaners. The lower layer is a double-door solid wood door panel, which Xia De had just checked and found to be empty.
The source of the hawking sound was the lower layer of the cupboard, but when Xia De opened it again, there was still nothing inside.
Xia De hadn't noticed it just now, but now that he suspected there was something wrong, he realized the contradiction:
“Why aren’t there any spider webs here?”
There were spider webs in the corners of the broom closet, but there were none in the upper glass cabinets, probably because they were often opened and used. But since the lower cabinets didn't store anything, there was no reason why there wouldn't be spider webs.
And when Shade wiped the bottom of the cabinet with his hand, he only touched a thin layer of dust:
"This place has been cleaned up, a week at most."
But apart from that, Shade didn't see any other signs nearby, so the current situation was that he knew there was something wrong with the lower layer of this seemingly normal cabinet, and the door of the lower layer had been opened to him:
"So, should I get in there, close the door and try it from inside?"
This seemed to be the only thing to do now, but considering that even Miss Danister was missing, Shade would not be stupid enough to take risks casually.
However, considering that it would be a bit troublesome to go home now to inform Luvia or Dorothy what he was doing and then come back, Shad took out the flute toy from his pocket.
After casting the Silence Charm and blowing the flute, the fluttering red butterflies immediately illuminated the broom closet, and Helen and Grace appeared next to Shad.
Of course, since the space here was too small, they just hugged Xia De directly.
"Oh, sir, do you want to try it in the broom closet?"
Helen in the black dress giggled. Grace, the more stable sister, looked around and asked Xiang Xiade:
"Sir, have you arrived in a new city again?"
"Yes, the City of Music-Vista."
He briefly explained why he came here, and finally said what he was going to do:
"The clues the fortune teller has predicted are most likely pointing to this cupboard. I'll go in here in a moment. If you find anything wrong, open the cupboard and get me out immediately.
If I disappear, you will wait until evening, and if I still don't appear by then, go to Tobesk to find a fortune teller. Of course, the possibility of my disappearance is very low, and even if I disappear, there is no need to worry. "
After all, he still has two drops of divinity.
"Sir, we can"
"No, you can't."
Xia De held Helen's mouth:
"This matter is most likely related to time. Although you are very strong, your time resistance is far lower than mine."
As he spoke, he took out a normal time key:
"Today is the time for me to use the time key. If I really encounter any danger, I can still go over and take shelter."
Grace and Helen knew how powerful Shad was, so although they were a little worried, they were quickly convinced by him.
After making sure everything was ready, Shade bent down and struggled to get into the cupboard. Grace and Helen closed the door for him from the outside, then asked:
"How do you feel now, sir?"
"I wonder if it would be more convenient for me to turn into a cat now. It's too cramped here."
"Then sir, after this is over, can I hug you in cat form?"
It sounded like Helen was speaking, and Shad could even imagine Grace's helpless expression as she looked at her sister.
Then Shad began chatting with the two sisters across the cupboard door. They last met last week, so there wasn't much new to share. Grace and Helen just told Shad about what they knew about Creekwood.
The two sisters had never been here during the "Vestal City Era", but they had been here separately during the "Riverwood Town" Era.
They all knew about the current "Golden Music Hall". When Shade mentioned that the hall was rebuilt from the ruins of an ancient temple, Grace said in a staccato voice:
"I know the ruins of the temple on that hill. I passed by there more than 500 years ago. At that time, only the main frame of the building was left. I didn't expect that..."
Grace's voice became increasingly blurred, as if she was running quickly into the distance while speaking, until finally her voice completely disappeared.
Grace, who was outside the cupboard, didn't think there was anything wrong with her voice. After she finished speaking and found that Shad didn't respond, she signaled Helen to open the cupboard.
There was no one inside.
As Grace's voice gradually became unclear, Shad in the cupboard realized that something unusual had finally happened.
But he didn't push open the cupboard door immediately; he was waiting.
There was no whispering element around that was very obvious compared to the other three elements, which meant that this matter had nothing to do with the relic. When Grace's voice completely disappeared and Shade could no longer sense the two sisters outside the cabinet door, he knew that he should have succeeded.
"Tell me the time now."
[Present, Sixth Era, Common Calendar Year 1698, 15th day of the Month of Seeding.]
"The spring of 156 years ago? Is this time traveling? It doesn't feel like it at all."
[To be exact, you did not completely travel through time, you just came to the intersection of two times. Using this method to truly travel through time is a "serious violation", and you selectively resisted the travel. ]
"That's it"
Xia De was not very surprised, but when he tried to push open the cabinet door in front of him, he found that the wood in front of him was not flat, but rough wood with curved surfaces.
I blinked, and then I realized that the surroundings were completely different from before.
"This isn't the inside of a cupboard, this is a tree hole?! Yes, in 1698, this cupboard was a tree!"
Xia De stretched his hand forward and ignited a flame with his fingers. The flame touched the inner surface of the tree hole in front of him and tried to burn a hole, but as soon as his hand touched the wood, the wood was pushed away.
Grace and Helen stood outside the cupboard, tilting their heads and looking at Shad who was curled up inside. Shad withdrew his fingers.
[Present, Sixth Era, Common Calendar Year 1854, 19th day of the month of Harvest, Friday.]
[The special effect of the cabinet disappears, and you are back. ]
"Well, I just disappeared, didn't I?"
He asked the two sisters outside the door, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls nodded together:
"Yes, about half a minute. And we didn't find anything until we noticed that your breath disappeared. This is indeed the power of time, but it is very unstable."
"So what did you find when I came back?"
"nor."
Shade thought for a while:
"Again."
Helen helped Xia De close the cabinet door again. Xia De briefly described what had just happened through the door panel, and then continued to chat with the two sisters. However, this time, nothing happened after waiting for two hours.
Geminis don't mind "wasting time". This kind of date is weird but it is still a date. And Shade had no choice but to crawl out of the cupboard and summarize the current situation:
“This cabinet can indeed achieve a certain degree of time connection, but this connection is not stable. Sometimes only the sound can cross time, and sometimes it can cross time with the things inside.”
"So, the lady you're looking for disappeared when the passage was at its most stable?"
Grace asked, this is indeed very possible, but Shade had a more terrible idea:
“I heard the sound of apple sellers here before, but the moment I disappeared just now, the outside environment was clearly a forest.
That is to say, this cabinet may be connected to more than one "past", and it is even possible that each connection to the past time is random. I don't know which time the lady I'm looking for is in, of course, the premise is that she really went to the past through this place."
Since the "present" can hear the past, perhaps the "past" can also hear the present, so Shad did not mention Miss Danister's name and other privacy.
Grace also looked at the cupboard in the dark:
"The principle of this time travel is still unclear. Although it is confirmed that this cabinet caused everything, we'd better not move it at will."
