Chapter 491: Chapter 174: Why do you want to kill me? _2
Catherine Carter:
The corners of their eyes all twitched.
Still, their gaze fell on Leonard Churchill in unison.
Whatever Elder Clinton had said happened, must have happened.
Leonard was equally surprised and asked, “Why would I kill her?”
Elder Clinton’s memory apparently failed again and he muttered, “How would I know? Maybe… you two had an argument.”
A pure guess without any basis.
Leonard was left speechless, dismissing the nonsense about their relationship, he retorted, “Does an argument justify murder?”
Catherine’s crystal-clear eyes flickered as she fell into deep thought.
She didn’t think that Leonard would kill her without reason, but it seemed that due to the possibility of time reversal, death had become less terrifying.

As she tilted her head to look at Leonard, a knowing smile curved up at the corner of her lips, she too wondered aloud, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, I’m curious as well, why would you want to kill me?”.
Leonard just shrugged.
He didn’t wish to mull over this baffling question any longer.
Instead, a thought flashed across his mind, almost as if this question had stirred something in his memory.
This peculiar sensation…
it was like experiencing a deja vu from a moment across space-time; a strange sense of familiarity.
This phenomenon would be referred to as the “Hippocampus Effect” in his past life.
But that wasn’t the case now.
“Right, it’s Time Affinity!” Leonard realised suddenly.
Looking at the attribute “Time Affinity +18” on his Attribute Panel, he became aware that this attribute might have become active.
The Time Reverse Domain here in the Mysterious Realm and the accelerated Time Domain on the train platforms are forms of “Low-dimensional Time”.
Everything here is influenced by the Time Domain.
“It’s not a complete reset! Because of my comprehension of the Time Rule, some memories during the rewind weren’t completely erased!” thought Leonard to himself.
Seeing the sudden change in Leonard’s expression, Elder Clinton, realizing that Leonard had discovered something, cast his gaze over.
However, the emergence of that memory was fleeting, causing Leonard to immediately furrow his brows.
Unable to grasp it, he decided to search for it.
To let the environment deepen the impression on him.
Suddenly, he jumped off the bridge without hesitation.
The wolf claw in his hand protruded and quickly climbed the rocky cliff.
As the feeling of deja vu that flashed across his mind seemed to suggest that something important was nearby.
Seeing Leonard looking for something, Catherine also jumped off the bridge, followed by Colin…
Elder Clinton, on the other hand, shrank back as always.
With his age, he didn’t dare jump off the bridge, but lay there shouting, “Hey, be careful!”.
Leonard circled around the cliff but saw nothing.
Apparently Colin was luckier, for he called out not long after, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, you better come and see!”.
Leonard quickly rushed over.
The group gathered under the waterfall, only then they realized that there was an inconspicuous statue behind the rushing water.
What was even more astonishing was that the mysterious markings and arcane lock chains and restrictions around the statue seemed to blend perfectly with the surrounding cliffs. This gave the sacred statue a strange magic that made one forget that they had seen the statue, thus overlooking its existence.
“Huh…” caught Leonard surprised.
He was no stranger to this feeling.
It was the same when he saw the Fifty-two Demon God Secret Skill on the copper plate before.
The only explanation was that the laws of the statue exceeded recognition, and the brain could not remember this “indescribable” object.
Upon realizing this Catherine, and Colin’s face lit up with joy.
They were aware that they might have found the key clue.
Gazing at the miraculous statue, Leonard’s eyes narrowed slightly, he mumbled, “No idea how much time was spent last time in locating such a clue in the vast Summer Shepherd City.”
The statue was so unique that one wouldn’t necessarily find it within a day.
Their luck this time was because of Elder Clinton’s Human Navigation.
After a careful observation, the three of them couldn’t make any sense of it.
All of them visually perceived a stone carving, but when trying to describe it to anyone else, they would forget what they saw.
It even negated communication.
As they were discussing, Elder Clinton also climbed down leisurely with the help of a rope. “So what did you guys find?”
Leonard knew that Elder Clinton’s ability could be of help here and asked, “Elder, do you see anything unusual here?”
At first sight of the statue, Elder Clinton marveled. “Ah, this is an old item from ancient times. It even has remnants of Divine Power.”
A serious expression crossed the faces of Leonard and the others as they listened.
With one speech, they knew the statue was far from ordinary.
But before they could express their shock, Elder Clinton’s tone suddenly changed, turned quite strange, then twisted his neck to look at Leonard, “Leonard chap, did… did you scribble something on it?”
A confused expression on Leonard’s face. “??”
Elder Clinton read out the sentence: “Miss Carter, I’m glad you’re alive. When you see this sentence, the promise I made you is fulfilled. Do you find this interesting?”
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Only the sound of the waterfall rushing in the background was heard.
Everyone wore a stunned expression, as if they had seen a ghost.
Even Leonard.
Listening to these words, he knew these were his own words!
But why the hell did he write that sentence?
As the person involved, Catherine’s expression was even more bizarre, she reminded, “Mr Leonard, you seem to have really killed me in your last reset?”
