Chapter 80 Doubt

2 o'clock noon.

The 4th hour of the current derived timeline.

The convoy has returned to the seaside city and checked into a building.

This is a top-tier luxury hotel with technology comparable to modern times. Mo Yu was assigned to a room where he was instructed to wait for Herobella's summons.

Sitting on the sofa.

Mo Yu reviews the intelligence she has gathered.

After his mental strength attribute was improved, his brain processing speed was extremely fast. He could play through the screen in his mind, replaying the scenes he had experienced before. He could even combine different scenes to generate 3D models and observe them from different angles.

He was confused.

What was originally a 6-hour selection process was reduced to 1 hour. He didn't understand why the main body would interfere with the timeline.
He obviously didn't do anything.

Look at your watch.

Four hours have passed since I traveled through time.

There are 8 hours left until the 12-hour cycle ends.

There is still plenty of time.

He walked to the window and looked down.

This is a large city that is half sea and half land, and its main population is naturally sea people. The building he is currently in is located in the central area. The city is bustling with traffic and has a high level of technology.

This is good news.

He can leverage the power of the internet.

Check the room.

There were no electronic devices, but there were traces of a monitor on the table and a hole in the wall where a TV had been mounted. The TV had just been moved, clearly targeting him.

Mo Yu opened the door.

He found the squid standing right by the door, leaned against the wall, and lit a cigarette.
"What's matter?"

"I want to go out for a walk."

"You must wait here for Her Highness the Princess's summons."

"I'm new here and don't know anything, let's chat."

"go back."

"We're all here to serve Her Highness the Princess, so shouldn't I at least be informed about the current situation?"

"Her Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to speak to you."

"Ok."

Mo Yu retreated to her room.

This ban seems rather baffling.
I've been following you for so long, and you won't even let me speak?

Mo Yu felt a headache coming on.

Even his ability to rewind couldn't yield any useful information; he encountered obstacles at every turn with Herobella.

This is not normal.

Who can defend themselves against the temptations of someone with the ability to rewind time?

unless……

The other party was aware of his capabilities.

Therefore, no chance is given.

He remembered Matthew being instantly killed.

If Herobella knew the other party's abilities and therefore chose to kill them instantly, then her behavior would be perfectly logical.

Thinking about this, Mo Yu felt a sudden sense of clarity.

If Herobella possesses a special ability that allows her to know his information in advance, then the logic behind his actions becomes reasonable.

Because they knew he could rewind time, they didn't give him any opportunity to question him or let him gather intelligence.

Knowing that he could release mirror images, they could distinguish them and prevent others from hunting down the mirror images and Matthew.

but……

If you were the other person facing a time traveler, you should act 'normal' to avoid giving them away.

Such deliberate and targeted blocking only raises suspicions.

Or they're not very smart.

Either there is a compelling reason to do it.

Mo Yu is more inclined to believe the latter.

The reason why it is absolutely necessary to do this.

There is only one.

Gathering intelligence might allow him to discover the other party's abilities, which is why he desperately tries to stop him from gathering intelligence, and these actions have all been stalling for time.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The summons was a pretense.

It is true that he is trapped here.

The goal was to buy time and hold out for 12 hours. With a clear plan forming, Mo Yu knew what to do next.

Efforts are being made to gather intelligence.

Figure out how Herobella discovered his abilities, and how to counter her.

After adjusting her approach, Moyu reviewed the situation again.

There was nothing wrong with his behavior.

Could it be that……

Does the other party possess a rare item, something like a powerful repentance technique?

I didn't find any flaws in my memory.

Then we can only continue to gather intelligence.

The first 12-hour cycle cannot be moved forward. Only after all the inconsistencies are resolved can the timeline be moved forward.

Mo Yu continued to wait.

If his guess is correct, the other party most likely won't meet with him.

Wait quietly.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. It was Youbei, who told Moyu to go to the reception room.
Mo Yu was somewhat puzzled, but still went to the reception room.

A short while later, the door to the reception room opened.

A red-haired girl wearing a light blue dress, glasses, and wireless earphones appeared.

This is a mermaid.

Secondary evolution.

She was Herobella's personal maid, and Mo Yu remembered her.

The little mermaid takes her seat.

Two merman knights followed her in, standing on either side of her behind her, heads held high and chests puffed out, exuding an imposing aura.

Mo Yu sat casually, feet on the table, leaning back and rocking her chair, shaking her leg as she asked nonchalantly, "Where's the princess? Why is it you, you little brat?"

The little mermaid's face darkened as she said, "Human, watch your words and actions. Her Highness the Princess is merciful, but that doesn't mean you can be presumptuous. You are not yet qualified to meet Her Highness the Princess."

"Oh? Not qualified? That's a good reason." He said with a displeased expression, "This isn't what we agreed on. Weren't we going to appoint me as a Royal Guard Knight?"

“Once you offer your loyalty and make sufficient contributions, Her Highness the Princess will naturally fulfill her promise. My name is Haina, and I am responsible for managing you. You must use honorifics when addressing me. Now, answer my question.” Haina said earnestly.

Mo Yu shrugged and said, "Fine, fine, this is your territory, you call the shots. Little Haina, what do you want to ask?"

boom!
Hina slammed her hand on the table and stood up, exuding an imposing aura.

Well... she's about the same height as Mo Yu when she's sitting, and she gives off a cute but fierce vibe.

"I'm warning you, use honorifics!"

The sound was sharp and penetrating.

Both merman knights lowered their heads, showing fear. It was clear that mermaids had a natural suppressive effect on other sea creatures, but this effect was useless against Mo Yu.

He picked his ear and said, "I know, don't shout so loudly. Little Haina, go ahead and ask. I have a lot of questions for you too."

"you……"

Hina raised her little hand, and the water flowed together in the air, condensing into six or seven egg-sized, rapidly spinning water balls, ready to be launched.

This is the mermaid's ability to manipulate fluids.

"Want to fight?"

Mo Yu narrowed his eyes and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

After a brief standoff, Hina dispersed the water balloon, jumped back onto the chair, and sat down, saying:
"Name."

"Mo Yu."

"gender."

"Female."

Hannah slammed her hand on the table again and roared:
"Get serious!"

"Who told you to ask such a stupid question?"

Who are you calling brain-dead?!

"Of course we're calling them brain-dead idiots."

"you……"

Haina was trembling with anger. After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, she sat down again and asked, "Where are you from? Why are you on this island?"

Mo Yu: "I come from the continent of Valoran. I am a ranger. I was caught in a trap while exploring ancient ruins and woke up on this island. I suspect I have traveled through time."

Haina screamed, "Are you ever going to stop?! You two-legged fish! My patience has its limits!"

Mo Yu said sincerely, "I'm not lying to you."

Hannah regained her composure and said, "Okay, go on."

"You've finished talking. Now it's your turn to tell me, where is this place? What do I need to do? When can I meet the princess?" Mo Yu asked in return, trying to get more information.

Heina replied, "Just wait. You'll be given a task later. Only if you perform exceptionally well will you be able to meet Her Highness the Princess."
