I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 272 Mr. Detective, you finally made a mistake in your reasoning
moment.

Time stops here.

The system prompt also arrived as expected:
[Relics: The recovery progress of the Hesilam crystal mine has reached 100%]

[The ruins reconstruction is complete! 】

[Three Stars <Hidden Objective> Unearth the Abandoned Ruins of Grace]

[Current completion status; the history has been re-anchored to 'Five years of origin, Christmas Eve, the return of the forgotten']

[Completion progress: SSS+ exceeded the target! ]

[Achievement 'Engraved Remodeling' obtained]

['Engrave and Reshape' achievement description: When a person's achievements are great enough.

Then, the entire starry sky will remember the feats he accomplished in the past. 】

Countless streams of light began to flow back into the ruins.

But there is some excess energy that has not been used up.

The excess energy eventually turned into light blue crystals that seemed to be wrapped in flocculent mist and accumulated in this laboratory that was originally used to store formalin.

[Identification: Haisiram Crystal Vein]

[Purity: Ultra-high (there is a nebula-like flocculent dimensional superposition structure)]

[Effect: As an energy core, it can stably provide high superposition energy]

Nice reward.

A stable energy core is necessary for many rituals and mechanical structures to function properly.

With the consciousness of an adventurer and a top gamer.

Su Wen never misses any good thing he can get.

He took out a pickaxe from the storage box and then knocked over a bottle of Isaiah Life Potion.

Although the life potion cannot replenish the psychic energy bar which has just been depleted.

But if you just swing a pickaxe.

It's enough to replenish your physical strength.

He didn't care about Caroline's surprised look at all, but started mining with great concentration.

Regarding Su Wen’s action.

Caroline was indeed very impressed.

She was originally feeling a little melancholy after the separation, but now for some reason, she just felt it was a little funny.

after all.

Mr. Rhine always appears in front of the public with a savior-like look, a cold face and a windbreaker.

At this moment, he still maintained that cold and handsome face, but his actions were somewhat inconsistent with his character.

There was a hint of smile in Miss Hacker's eyes.

She yawned slightly.

Then he gently extended his hand with a teasing look:

"Give me a pickaxe, too.

I’ll help you.”

Hear her say that.

Su Wen quickly handed him the alloy pickaxe, which still required manpower.

then.

He took out an electric mining pick from the storage box.

See him in action.

As a question mark appeared above Caroline's head, the last bit of sadness in her heart disappeared instantly.

Only the angry expression remained:

"Mr. Rhine, did you do this on purpose?"

that's it.

In Su Wen's wordless humor to help her relieve loneliness.

Miss Hacker snatched the electric pickaxe from his hand with a cute expression that said "I'm going to be angry" and happily acted as the supervisor.

Half an hour later.

All the ultra-high purity Hesilam crystal veins have been mined.

This research institute was also exported by Caroline and posted on the cloud database via data satellite.

"Feeling better?"

Su Wen asked gently.

Miss Hacker nodded seriously.

Since she would have the chance to see Susan again, she couldn't dwell on the past with regrets and self-blame.

That's not her character.

"let's go."

Accompanying the moment when the two of them walked out of the research institute.

All the sticky time bombs that Su Wen had reserved in this already abandoned research institute were detonated instantly.

Accompanied by a huge explosion sound: "Boom!"

Everything finally returned to peace.

What's different now than when they first came in.

perhaps.

It was the endless falling snow that had already spread across New York State, dyeing everything white.

Since the 'La Nina cold wave' crossed the North Atlantic current and rushed towards New York State amid the turbulence of psychic tides.

The snow in Moses Mountain went from sparse to dense until it became heavier and denser.

It was just a brief moment for the two of them to escape from the ruins.

The night at the foot of the mountain was completely covered in pure white.

Even the slender birch branches and dense North American pine forests all over the mountains were covered with layers of white snow.

Caroline gently raised her hand and caught a snowflake.

The snowflakes melted into icy water in her palms.

She said softly:
“It’s snowing.

I thought it was impossible for this New Year to be a white Christmas.”

Due to global warming, the chances of people living in the Northern Hemisphere witnessing a white Christmas have been greatly reduced over the past century.

and so.

In Caroline's impression.

Because of the North Atlantic circulation.

Only five years ago, there was a heavy snowfall in Detroit on Christmas Day, and she built a small snowman alone in Central Park.

But what Miss Hacker didn't expect was...

The extremely quiet early morning hours on this Christmas Eve have disappeared.

At the moment when everything is over.

New York State even saw the spectacular sight of a "white Christmas across the state" that had disappeared for 40 years.

After watching quietly for ten minutes, the girl in Su Wen's coat said softly:
“It’s snowing now and the roads are difficult to drive on.

And it was already one forty in the morning.

Both Sister Mara and the children in the orphanage should have fallen asleep.

Let's find a place to kill some time.

Let’s wait until the early morning.”

Hear her say that.

Su Wen gracefully held up a black umbrella, tilting it slightly towards her. Then, he calmly gave an answer he had already thought of:

“You can find a quiet bar.

after all.

I still owe you a cocktail that I made myself."

“That’s two cups.

Mr. Rhine, you can't run away from your debt."

She pointed out with a playful tone.

Then, the hacker quickly transmitted a certain data point to the data receiver of Su Wen's dark blue Margarita:
"Just go here."

Hear her say that.

Su Wen also looked at that position:

【Ice Bar—Manhattan, New York】

The name of this bar sounds familiar.

The handsome detective smiled and asked:

"Is this the bar owned by Fern?"

That's right.

He once met the "White Hound" Vern O'Neill in the game of [City of Chaos] Detroit, rescued the hunter's daughter, and successfully became the best bartender in the Ice Point Bar.

just.

Even Su Wen didn't expect that Fern would open a branch in Manhattan, the most prosperous district in New York State.

In his impression:

The bar owner who had a dangerous aura, often went on debt shopping at the Fars Chamber of Commerce, and even sold fake liquor, did not seem to have such strong financial resources.

Hear his question.

The hacker lady showed a cute little smile as if her plan had succeeded:

"Mr. Detective.

this time.

You finally made a wrong deduction.

I paid for the renovation of this store and it has nothing to do with Fern.

As for why it is still called Ice Point Bar.

That was my memorial for the original fire night.

The name was changed intentionally. "
