As Ike's use of the Z-drive becomes more profound, the time period he can look back will expand from seconds to minutes. As far as Geno knows, when the little fanboy Ayuna encounters an accident, this

The period of time has already extended to four minutes and twenty-eight seconds, and it will even be longer in the future!

Amidst the flying sparks, Geno gave Ike a thumbs up from afar, and the other person scratched his scalp and smiled.

Ike just felt that the atmosphere in Zaun today was too dull, so he went to the ground to take a stroll. Originally, he had the idea of ​​​​going to the exhibition to sell Z-drives.

In exchange for some money to help the lost child in Zu'an rebuild after the disaster, his parents no longer have to work hard from 5 to 9 every day to send him to Pi Lao's school, and they can spare time to spend time with him, because since he started to value time

, he discovered that his parents were aging too fast.

However, the friends who came with him persuaded him not to sell the Z-drive. Ike invented the Z-drive completely by accident. After selling it, it was basically impossible to build another one.

On Ike's name day a few days ago, he used the Z-drive to backtrack seventeen times to save the showy Ayuna. Today, he went back forty-five times to save a passerby girl, and also helped Jin Ke.

Si successfully escaped, which made him feel that the Z-drive on his body was even heavier. This device would become more meaningful in his hands! He would use this device to save more people!

He decided not to sell! There is a way to live without money! People who are poor cannot be short-minded!

Ike put a hand on the shoulder of his little fan Ayuna. He was very exhausted now and wanted to go back and lie down in a warm bed and have a good sleep. I was really sorry for not being able to help my parents share the burden.

Geno ran to Orianna's side. Orianna shed tears of fear and was still held tightly by Geno in a daze, unable to say a word.

"Go back."

Orianna's reaction seemed to be a little too extreme. She was as if she was dumbfounded. No matter how much Geno screamed, there was no response. Geno had no choice but to take her back to the nearest apartment.

The fireworks in the square were all extinguished after a few minutes. After learning that no one had died, Wei breathed a long sigh of relief. She didn't know what Caitlin would think, but Jinx and Giggs must have fallen in love with her.

blacklist.

After returning to the apartment, Geno put Orianna on the bed, washed her face and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes... Oh, and then he found that he couldn't wipe them clean.

As Anna shed her tears, she didn't know what sad memories came to mind.

Geno poured a glass of water and put it on the table, thinking that she might be dehydrated from crying, so he prepared it first. Then he sat blankly on the edge of the bed with her, holding his head and thinking about something bitterly.

"Hex, is it because of you that I can retain my memory under Ike's reboot?"

Jinx, Caitlin and others will lose their memories after the save point every time they reset, except for Geno... and the difference between Geno and them is that he uses a primitive crystal.

The Z-drive is made from fragments of the same original crystal.

"Sir, I didn't do anything. If you go back in time and break me, I can't do it. Although every crystal is essentially a collection of energy, we are different from each other. For example, I have an independent personality.

and the ability to think, which they do not possess.

According to what I think... the real reason to prevent your memory from being reset is your magic talent. It seems to have a very high priority, so that no one can influence your soul, and memory is part of the soul."

The reason why Hex can also retain memories is that it was originally a primitive crystal... and it did not help Geno retain his memories. Geno left the memories on his own.

"My magical talent..."

Geno still hasn't been able to figure out what his magical talent is? What is its function? When asked, knowledgeable people only know that it is the soul, the spiritual level. It is too mysterious for him to understand. It is not like Lux at all.

Brand and the like have very distinct magical talents for manipulating elements.

Now he only knows that there is a characteristic that is immune to spiritual invasion. If he said that this was all magic talents, it would be too useless.

However, in this rescue, this talent played a very important role. If Geno did not retain his memory, Ike alone would not be able to save Orianna, and he would only witness Orianna's death again and again.

If you want to understand it thoroughly, you may have to go to the Baru Islands to find Illaoi, the priest of Naga Kapoulos, for a soul torture, if he is prepared to endure the pain.

"By the way, Hex, can you take a peek into Orianna's memory? I want to know what happened to her and why she lost her mind."

After returning from the square, Orianna was in this state for almost two hours. This was no longer a simple mental disorder caused by excessive shock.

After a while, Hex's voice sounded in Geno's mind, but it brought unexpected news:

"Orianna's memories are all confused, and her spiritual world is undergoing some kind of drastic change."

"Then what should we do?" Geno was confused. When he talked about the drastic change, he thought of the body snatching. Could it be that Orianna was transported through time? Should we tie her up first? No, wouldn't Orianna be in trouble in that case?

Is it cold?

"Wait!" Hex had no better way to deal with this. Inaction was the best thing to do.

I don't know how long it took, Geno looked out the window as the day turned to dusk, the alchemy street lamps glowed with a cold light, accompanied by the curling smoke caused by insufficient reaction, and suddenly thought that it was time to eat, he and he

Orianna hasn't eaten much today.

"What should I eat?" Along with Geno's time travel, he also had difficulty choosing. Every time he decided what to eat, it was a fierce battle. He looked at Orianna, who was still in a daze, and sighed.

: "Choose something that is easy to feed."

As soon as Geno walked to the door, he heard Orianna shout "Father, don't leave."

"What's wrong?"

He was thinking in his head that he had never had a wife in his two lives, so why would he want to be a father? But his body hurriedly returned.

Orianna had regained her consciousness, but her tears became even more intense. She grabbed Geno's hand and began to cry:

"I had a long, long dream that there was no you in that world. I inhaled poisonous gas and got lung disease. I coughed all day long and was bedridden. Then my father replaced me with a mechanical lung.

But the situation did not improve, and the toxin spread to nearby organs. In order to save me, my father spent all his money to develop various artificial organs for me to replace.

This life lasted for a year, and finally my whole body was transformed into a machine, except for my heart, which miraculously escaped the poisonous contamination.

I became a clockwork person...

The mechanical structure changed my personality. I became indifferent and began to feel bored with my father's teachings. Gradually, the only thing that maintained our family relationship was my heart.

We moved to a workshop on the cliffs of Zaun, preparing to make a comeback, and made some money by selling haze filter masks. Becoming a clockwork man is not without its benefits, at least I have become much more comfortable in making various tools.

, the wind-up doll I accidentally made brought a lot of joy to the Zaun people, and we made more money as a result, enough to buy a Hex Crystal.

Then we were targeted by the Alchemist Barons. They coveted our wealth and sent people to rob the workshop. Because of this incident, I spent a month making myself a golem to watch over my home.

But the good times did not last long. Because my father worked in Zuan for a long time, the alchemical waste gas invaded Xueye and poisoned his heart.

I know that my father loves his former daughter deeply, but I feel that I am no longer that girl. Maybe returning this heart to my father can keep my memory in his heart forever, because I have begun to forget that.

memory.

I fed my father sleeping pills, and with the help of the golem, I replaced myself with a Hex heart, freeing myself from the constraints of clockwork. Then I cut open my father's chest and replaced his failing heart with my last remnant of a human being.

The things in this world belong to the heart of Orianna, whom her father once knew and loved.

After listening to my father's steady heartbeat all night long, I left behind hundreds of mechanical dolls. Among them was a golden dancer who was not wound up but could spin and dance forever, which represented the past me.

Without the blood connection, I still love my father deeply, but I want to see more of this world to see if it is as wonderful as what is said in the opera.

So at dawn, I left the workshop and never saw my father again."
