Chapter 722: Chapter 235 Time Drift Bottle_4
He realized that it might be… a problem with time!
Leonard Churchill’s expression was slightly strange as he pondered for a moment before asking, “What year is it now?”
Vera Williams, puzzled by the question, nonetheless responded truthfully, “It’s the 88th year of the Federation Calendar.”
Not the 189th year of the Federation?
This is a hundred years ago?
Leonard Churchill suddenly awoke to the realization!
No wonder he had felt that there were problems everywhere.
The extremely low salary, the ancient machinery, the outdated business models, the Song Family’s guard standards… and so on, along with some things he had never heard of before.
It all seemed so much less than the Federation cities he knew, vastly different.
It was the feeling of an ancient era.
Hearing the year, Leonard Churchill finally realized where the problem lay.
His travel across wasn’t just a spatial issue, but time had also gone awry in a major way.
A hundred years in the past!
Even though Leonard Churchill was someone who wouldn’t change his expression even when facing death, he couldn’t hide his shock at such an outrageous event.
Time can be traversed?
Am I, a hundred years later, still in that future time?
Or like a paper figure cut out from a history book, have I been pasted into the history of a hundred years ago, and the future me has disappeared?
One question after another, surpassing his current understanding, surfaced in his mind.
His brain was a complete mess.
But having already traveled once, Leonard Churchill accepted reality after a moment.
He began to consider the logic of this situation.
Thinking back, Leonard Churchill suddenly cleared up many previous doubts.
No wonder the letters felt so ancient; they had been preserved for a hundred years.
Then, who was it that sent those letters to me a hundred years later?
Was it a descendant of Vera Williams, or was it her herself?
Reaching me after a hundred years suggests a high probability it was her.
So was I sent here in a unidirectional manner, or will I be sent back at some point?
With little thought, Leonard Churchill felt it was more likely to be the latter.
Otherwise, Vera Williams wouldn’t have had someone find me a hundred years later to entrust the letters to me.
Moreover, it’s highly likely she knew that sending those letters meant I would traverse space-time and have this encounter?
Because… this was something that had already happened a hundred years ago!
The logic of the entire story line was probably…
I traveled through time and then, at a certain moment, I returned.
That is to say, this young lady has waited a full hundred years for our reunion?
It’s too much information to process.
Looking at the young lady in front of him, Leonard Churchill’s gaze suddenly changed.
Previously, he had thought it was simply a meetup between pen pals, but now it seemed things had become so complex that he felt somewhat at a loss.
Although he didn’t know what had happened between them.
But for a young lady to search for him for a hundred years, to ensure those letters reached him, this emotional bond… was merely.
Leonard Churchill looked at the young lady before him with a gaze filled with complexity.
Vera Williams, seeing the strange change in Leonard Churchill’s demeanor, blinked in confusion, “Mr. Sunny, what’s wrong?”
Leonard Churchill wasn’t ready to explain this issue.
If I make certain decisions, like killing someone, or telling Vera Williams that I have traveled through time, then could history be changed?
Or is it that since I have traveled here, everything that I can think of doing, is something I’ve done in history already?
Would any decision not alter the course of history?
My appearance in Sinless City a hundred years later is also a predetermined event in the historical timeline,
I am destined to receive a letter and travel here, which was also something that had already occurred,
So, am I fated to come and to leave?
Only then does the logic of the timeline connect from beginning to end.
So, is this a meeting destined to be separated by a hundred years?
Leonard Churchill’s brows became increasingly furrowed the more he thought.
Or could it be the theory of parallel universes, where changes lead to different developments in the same story across different worlds?
It was as if he was missing some understanding, and his logic fell into a vicious circle.
Leonard Churchill was lost in unprecedented deep thought.
He had already grasped a bit of the secret of the “Time Rule” during his time in Summer Shepherd City.
At this moment, he faintly sensed something.
This trip of his was like a “message in a bottle” that truly drifted in the River of Time once.
