Chapter 2677 Changed Rules

Flora Winslet stood there holding a glass of wine, watching Shad and the slightly immature 33-year-old girl on the dance floor. As Shad turned around again and again, she was fascinated to see a corner of the banquet years ago.

The halo obscured the crowd in the background. When her attention was focused on Shad, her powerful inspiration as an artist was able to outline his possible movements and dance steps based on Shad's movements during his "disappearance".

As imagination and judgment filled in the blanks, the talent of time stimulated by the "time curse" made the figure of the disappearing man become clearer and clearer.

Until she was like the audience under the stage, watching the classical and modern wedding banquets being sewn together by the man, watching him dancing and talking with two ladies who were 33 years apart while turning around continuously.

At this moment she suddenly had a strange feeling. She was not jealous of the immature eighteen-year-old girl or the old woman in the black dress, but was surprised that she could actually see this strange scene.

In the pursuit of art, she has already passed the peak that most people can only look up to, but she still wants to see more and gain more. Perhaps her initial curiosity about Shade was just due to the witch's primitive instinct and the desire for the warmth of the soul, but at this moment, she suddenly understood completely -

"I must stay by his side. Only in this way can I see more of the world and the stories and pictures I am looking forward to. His soul attracts me like a candle flame attracting moths, and his life is the most beautiful gem that attracts me like a thief.

Now that I have seen this gem, I must not let it go."

【But what about Karina? 】

The other me whispered in my ear, and the witch staring at Shade hesitated for a moment before not caring:

"There will be a way when the time comes. Besides, I see that Karina can't control this man at all, so I'll help her."

Unlike other witches who would fall into a sense of moral inferiority in such situations, Flora Winslet does not have this problem.

The dancing Shade only needed to care about the mood of his female companions, but Miss Danister, who was looking for the black ball, had to consider more. This incident, which happened by accident, finally came to an end without any danger.

At 1854: in the evening of the autumn night of , when Shad once again held Iluna's hand, the -year-old girl smiled and told him a good news:

"Miss Danister and the others have found the ball, but the situation is a bit complicated, so I need to go there in person to get it. You stay there for a while and then meet me directly at the corresponding location."

She explained the exact location where she found the ball, then in a good mood, she gently pushed and let go of Shade's hand. Shade turned around and faced the lady with black hair and black skirt:

"Don't worry, Miss Danister has found the ball. The ball is really in the future."

As he spoke, he held the other person's hand and moved toward the outside of the crowd:

"Let's go directly to the corresponding location and wait. Don't hand over the relic derivatives in a place like this."

"But will it really be that easy?"

The lady in the black dress asked:

"Even if you have a way to deal with the Hide-and-Seek Boy in your time, in my experience, there has never been a humanoid relic that can be dealt with so easily."

The black ball was still within the Collins Manor, but not inside the manor, but in the woodland adjacent to the east side of the manor. It was the private woodland of the Collins family, which had become an unimportant hunting forest in 1854 due to the abandonment of the old town.

In 1821, when the city of Vista was just emerging, it was an orchard that was carefully taken care of. And it was obvious that no matter how lively the party was, no guests would appear in the orchard. After all, even if young men and women could not bear their inner desires, the garden behind the courtyard was more suitable for a tryst than the woods.

Because there are real bears and poisonous snakes in Vista Grove.

So Shad and the lady in the black dress came to the orchard, away from the hustle and bustle of the banquet and the noisy crowd. They stood under the apple tree in the orchard and looked at the manor in the night. Somehow, a feeling of relief came over them.

All that was left to do was wait, and the lady in the black dress asked Shade:

"From what you just described, you and Danister have a pretty good relationship, right?"

"Yes, Miss Danister helped me a lot and helped me hide many secrets from the academy."

Shade was generous in praising the red-haired sorceress:

"The students and professors at the academy also think highly of her. Miss Danister can be regarded as one of the most popular professors of our time."

"No, what I want to ask is, is your relationship with her just that of a student and a teacher?"

The lady in the black dress turned and looked at him with a teasing smile on her face:

“Just think of me as Danister’s elder who wants to care about the private life of my students. I bet Danister has also asked about your private life.

Do you and Danister have any other feelings? In your cursed state, the age difference between you two is not that big. "

Xia De felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"I think we have no other feelings for the time being."

But the lady in the black dress refused to give in:

"But when you talked about her, your tone was not like you were talking about someone you respected. And I noticed something very interesting. You never called her teacher in front of me. Yes, not even once."

"This"

The lady in the black dress had already narrowed her eyes with a smile. She really liked this night. Even though she couldn't find any trace of the astrologer in the Vestal Glades this time, she was still very satisfied to be able to come here this summer:

"I won't interfere with future events, but it's been fun talking to you about Danister. It seems to me that she's still in the Far North Academy, happy about the summer vacation, and the teaching assistant job I gave her is really stressing her out.

But with your description, I seem to really see her gradually becoming a mature girl and a responsible librarian."

"So, you really don't want to meet the grown-up Miss Danister?"

Xia De still asked without giving up, and the lady in the black dress still shook her head:

"She has seen it at the age of eighteen. Young people, the future belongs to you. You don't have to look back because of me, who is destined to go far away. I am very happy that I can be a stepping stone for Danister to embark on a farther and higher road, but I don't want her to always think about the road she has traveled. She should look into the distance."

“You are truly a teacher worthy of praise.”

Shad praised, but the lady in the black dress did not answer. Instead, she stood under the apple tree and looked blankly at Collins Manor illuminated by the lights.

If she really did that well, she wouldn't leave without saying goodbye in the future.

The two of them talked about the application of moon magic under the apple tree for a while, and then a strong sense of being watched made Shad know that Iluna and the others had succeeded.

He said goodbye to the lady in the black dress again, and then tried to grasp the feeling of "Back to the Future".

After the white light flashed, the orchard turned into a wild woodland. Iluna, Miss Winslet, Miss Bell, Miss Danister and the five witch followers were all here, and Iluna was already holding the black ball.

When [Hide and Seek Boy] first appeared in the manor just now, Shad did not have the opportunity to observe this thing carefully. At this time, the light ball called by the sorceresses illuminated the woodland, and he could clearly see that there was actually a shape of a painful human face on the surface of the ball.

It was not appropriate to discuss how the ball was made at this time. Seeing Shade appear, Iluna reached out and handed the ball to him:

"Let's finish this quickly. I hope there won't be another accident tonight. If there is an accident, it's best to wait until I go to work tomorrow before coming to me!"

Shad smiled and reached out to catch the ball. Just at the moment his hand touched the ball, there was a click in the air, and the power of freezing time made all the ladies behind Iluna freeze in place.

The eyeless boy's hand appeared out of thin air, trying to touch the ball, but what the relics didn't expect was that Shad and Iluna threw the ball upwards at the same time, and the ball was thrown directly into the sky by them.

Xia De's figure instantly disappeared from the ground and then appeared in the air. He wanted to hug the ball, but the ball dodged him like a living thing.

When Shad landed again, the frozen time began to flow. He, Iluna, and the ladies behind him who had no idea what had happened just now saw the ball bounce a few times on the ground, and from the shadow of the tree behind the ball, the boy without eyes walked out.

"What does this mean? You're going to break your own rules?"

Iluna frowned and asked:

"You said you wanted to find the ball, and we've already found it. Now as long as the ball is in Shade's hands and then passed to me, the game will be over. What are you going to do?"

The boy kicked the ball forward, and it slid forward and disappeared into the woods at night, but only Shad and Iluna could see that it was kicked to 1821:

"You need to find it in two time and space. You have found it in the present, and now you need to find it in the past."

The boy pointed at Shade:

"I never break my own rules, but I need you to prove that He was right in choosing you."

Xia De also pointed at himself:

"You talk like a child who has not grown up. Are you blaming me for not getting a gift because you didn't get one?"
