Chapter 773: Chapter 774 Past Accident_1

"My name, I just mentioned it, but he didn’t get a chance to tell you..."

Granny Mianlan looked at the woman with a complex expression while the latter gazed back at Milon, clearly puzzled as to what was so significant about a name.

"Shen Mama..."

Granny Mianlan whispered, and the woman, who was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Xiao Bai Mei holding onto her skirt and whispered back,

"Are you... Xiao Bai Mei?"

"You... recognize me?"

Granny Mianlan, looking a bit surprised and teary-eyed, gazed at the woman who, with a smile, gently stroked Xiao Bai Mei’s head and spoke softly,

"I had such a suspicion, you somewhat resemble him, but I knew he didn’t have any other siblings alive, and..."

Milon looked at Selta and said,

"Could it be... you too..."

Nodding her head, Selta spoke softly,

"Grandfather, it’s been a long time..."

"This is..."

Agunas stood there stunned, then after a while, he turned to Feng Yuan, anxiously inquiring,

"Is this really okay?!"

"Shen Mingxin?"

Lorraine Tower mused as he looked toward the woman, then, casting a glance at Lorraine Tower, Milon spoke irritably,

"I never expected that this noble would actually remember her name!"

Lorraine Tower responded with a faint smile, without any particular reaction, and genially said,

"I have a bit of an impression, never thought I’d encounter her here."

"We, could it be... Milon, Xiao Bai Mei... I’m very sorry..."

Remembering something, Shen Mingxin hugged Xiao Bai Mei and couldn’t stop apologizing. Lorraine Tower said calmly,

"Don’t worry, this is merely a disarray in time, a meeting of the past and present, but we’ll part again. Once we leave this place, everyone will gradually forget everything that happened here."

"Is that so... Can’t we really..."

Shen Mingxin murmured to herself in disappointment. Feng Yuan glanced at Lorraine Tower and asked,

"What about the explanation I wanted?"

"There is none."

Lorraine Tower replied calmly. Granny Mianlan hesitated for a moment before she began to speak, looking at Shen Mingxin,

"What I know is that during the defense war back then, Lorraine Tower did battle with the dark forces above Maomu City, and the aftershocks of their fight affected Maomu City, leading to the disappearance of many people."

"Shen Mama had always been trying to find her husband, but just that..."

Granny Mianlan didn’t finish speaking, but after a glance at Li Gui, Shen Mingxin understood and with a hint of despair, she smiled and said,

"I failed, didn’t I..."

"Grandma..."

Li Gui didn’t know how to face Shen Mingxin; would his grandmother have not given up hope if he hadn’t reacted the way he did just earlier? Feng Yuan looked at Lorraine Tower with some confusion and asked,

"What exactly did you do back then?"

"Nothing much, just had to use the Time Roar to deal with the enemy, that’s all."

Lorraine Tower said calmly as if it were a minor fact, leaving Feng Yuan momentarily stunned before he exclaimed in disbelief,

"Time Roar?! Above the city?!"

"There must have been no other choice, right?"

Agunas glanced at Lorraine Tower. The Time Roar could cause tremors in time, and Lorraine Tower wouldn’t have used it unless necessary. Without any further explanation, he turned away from Shen Mingxin and faced elsewhere.

"So that means... those people were all banished into the river of time..."

Feng Yuan was somewhat speechless, but he also understood how dangerous the situation must have been; without necessity, Lorraine Tower would never have done such a thing.

"Exactly! That year, that’s what he did! To make things convenient for himself, he destroyed countless families! And after all that, he didn’t even offer an apology!"

Milon glared at Lorraine Tower, shouting indignantly, while Feng Yuan shook his head,

"Impossible, so many people fell into the Time River, even if the influence brought by ordinary people would definitely be significant. Generally speaking, they wouldn’t resort to this method, what on earth happened back then?"

Lorraine Tower didn’t explain. The details of the Guard War hadn’t been recorded, so Agunas was also completely in the dark about it. With a sigh, Feng Yuan helplessly said,

"So you’re saying, we need to find her husband to retrieve that device fragment? But it’s very strange... why didn’t he cause much of a ripple in the Time River after obtaining that thing?"

"Why... did it not save those people back?"

Qi Chen asked in a puzzled whisper, and Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and said helplessly,

"How to save them? Falling into the Time River is not as simple as usual drowning; they won’t really enter any specific point in time. They will appear in any past moment just like Time Wanderers, quietly observing everything, yet unable to interfere..."

"When they are in a time point, we can’t sense them at all. And they are not truly incapable of influencing the past. By unleashing the full force of their soul power, they can execute inconceivable interventions in history."

"Of course, the consequences..."

Feng Yuan said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Dou Yanlan looked at Lorraine Tower and said,

"They are not always in a time point. Why do you..."

Lorraine Tower didn’t explain, just quietly surveying the garden. It was evident that the garden had been meticulously cared for. At this moment, Dou Yanlan also began to understand why a person from the Shen Family had appeared, because she had already recognized the woman—her original model was Shen Mingxin.

"It has also fallen in; I will go find it,"

Lorraine Tower said, and without turning his head, left. No matter how much anger one held toward Lorraine Tower, after knowing the outcome, Shen Mingxin suddenly felt like everything seemed to have lost its meaning.

"Don’t give up, I still remember what you did once. As long as you avoid it..."

Granny Mianlan, sensing something was wrong, hurriedly started to speak, showing a bitter smile, Shen Mingxin shook her head and said,

"Is there really any hope left... I must have tried everything I could, haven’t I...

"This..."

"Are you not going to say something?"

Qi Chen nudged Feng Yuan discontentedly and whispered. Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"What can I say? Agunas doesn’t have the authority to monitor the Time River. Searching for people in the Time River would be even more difficult than for Lorraine Tower."

"What about your recorder?"

Rolling his eyes at Agunas, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"How would you search for that thing? It wouldn’t give you precise coordinates; what’s the use of knowing it’s in the Time River?"

"Is there not a single way?"

Agunas said, swishing his tail in agitation. Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly and said,

"Nothing can be done. The moment they fell into the Time River, they already affected history. Even if we find them, if they have done something to the past, bringing them out would be extremely difficult. In short, it’s a troublesome matter."

"Look, this isn’t a game, and your hand crossbow doesn’t have unlimited ammo, so why bother?"

Gitalien said speechlessly to the woman who was shooting. As the energy crystal mounted on the hand crossbow gradually dimmed, the speed of generating energy arrows on the crossbow became slower and slower.

"They could very well be my enemies!"

The woman said firmly. Gitalien sighed and said with a tilted head and speechless expression,

"What good will this do? Time Wanderers are endless. As long as the Time River exists, these things will never vanish."

Hearing Gitalien’s words, the woman put away her hand crossbow and looked at Gitalien, saying,

"Do you know how to search for someone on the Time River?"

"Search for someone here? You must be mad, where do you think people come from? Aside from that fellow, I truly can’t understand which human could stand here just fine."

"Then what are we now?"

The woman said with an annoyed glare at Gitalien. Gitalien laughed and said,

"I need to correct you on one thing. We are in a Time Roar, not the Time River. Those are different things. Time Wanderers only appear here because of some special reasons. The Time Roar here has dragged a part of the Time River’s scenery over."

"No way! What’s going on with this Time Roar?! Why would it involve the Time River?"

Gitalien also realized that something was wrong and said in surprise, the woman looking at Gitalien coldly and said with a sneer,

"Is there a difference between the two?"

"Of course, there is; one lies within the real world, the other outside of it. The Time River exists outside the real world, where ordinary human necessities for survival are not present."

While waiting for Lorraine Tower to arrive during the dull moments, Gitalien took the opportunity to thoroughly inform the woman about the Time River and Time Roar.

"How come you know so much? Even Shenhua Research Institute wouldn’t have this info, right?"

The woman was curious about Gitalien; this wasn’t common knowledge, and as far as she knew, there weren’t many in the whole Alliance who understood these things.
