Chapter 53: 4 minutes and 48 seconds

"Its name is Styx,

The black water flowed down to the foot of the dark and precipitous cliff.

I stopped, staring intently,

Seeing that the swamp was full of people, covered with mud,

They were all naked, as if their anger had not subsided.

They slammed each other, not only with their hands,

And they hit each other with their heads, kicked each other with their feet, and touched each other with their chests.

And they bit each other's flesh with their teeth piece by piece, biting all over the body.

The Wise Teacher:

Child, now you can see the souls of those who have been overcome by their anger,

They couldn't help themselves.

......”

In a calm tone, as if a social animal was complaining about his boss on his way to work, Ronald read out a poem.

The muffled voice mingled with the steaming hiss of the Dongfeng, almost indiscible.

And as Ronald's voice landed, the "Divine Comedy - Hell Chapter" in his cuff disappeared again.

Almost unnoticed.

A special pair of 'black gloves' was wrapped around his right hand.

However, unlike the last 'rape' crime, the essence of this black fog is not a river of hell blood.

— but a quagmire called Styx.

Those who commit the sin of 'rage' will be drowned in the Oath River of Hell, and then gradually lose their memories of the past.

Reflected in the abilities that come with the Divine Comedy - Inferno.

When Ronald invokes this original sin, he has the power to sense the 'anger' around him, and if the entity transformed by the black mist directly touches the enemy, the opponent will lose consciousness.

As for how long the effect of loss of consciousness lasts......

As with the sin of 'rape', it depends on the enemy's constitution and level of rage.

At the limit, a person who has lost consciousness will never be able to wake up.

The ability to absorb anomalies in "Thin Hell" is still on cooldown, and there is no way to count on it now. The main reason why Ronald summoned this original sin at this moment was to expand the scope of his investigation on the basis of a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

Anger is a fairly common ingredient in the mind of the perpetrator.

The range of perception gradually expands-

On the train, on the platform, at the station behind you......

After Ronald activated his ability, he began to perceive angry feelings in a large circle around the main building of the station.

Experience the feedback of the power of 'original sin'.

Ronald's pace did not slow down, and his expression remained serious.

"Didn't you ......?"

In fact, the current range of perception is smaller.

In the past month, Ronald had tested and familiarized himself with the abilities brought by the two original texts on the premise of abiding by the laws of his homeland on Earth.

Under normal circumstances, the sin of 'rage' brings enough perception to cover a city.

That's a far difference in size from the train station area!

Not to mention that in the anger, Ronald didn't notice any abrupt emotional changes.

The two thugs on the street are fighting, and when they shoot, they can also be somewhat angry and intensify.

Could it be that the culprit is so deeply hidden?

With this in mind, Ronald also walked to the end of the platform.

Jumping off the tracks neatly, he walked along the railroad to the outside of the station.

Because the time in the station has been reincarnated regularly, he doesn't have to worry about any emergencies at all.

After all, this railway ......

Wrong!

After taking a few steps, Ronald stopped abruptly.

It's so quiet!

It's so quiet around!

The roar of the train that was supposed to be around.

Didn't show up again this time?

After the Dongfeng drove out of the station, it gradually disappeared from view, without the slightest sign of returning to the station!

“......”

Looking at this scene, Ronald took two steps back in silence.

Woowoo woo –

Boom Boom –

Also very abruptly, the Dongfeng appeared in the station.

White steam gushed from the front of the train, and the train was about to start leaving the Bronwich train station.

Seeing this scene, even the most sluggish people can react now.

Stood motionless.

Ronald stared at the station in front of him and began to silently calculate the time in his mind.

One minute......

Two minutes......

Three-minute ......

It wasn't until a full quarter of an hour later that the time rewind appeared three times, and the Dongfeng in front of him left three times and returned to his eyes three times.

"Whew-"

"4 minutes and 48 seconds."

"The pattern is summed up."

Exhaling slightly, Ronald nodded affirmatively.

During the fifteen minutes of this quarter of an hour, every 4 minutes and 48 seconds the time in this zone switches to the starting point, re-enacting everything.

"4 min 48 sec ....."

After all, it's a matter of time.

Ronald memorized the number and then stepped back.

Returning to the position where the Dongfeng did not come back just now, he stood still again, this time the Dongfeng did not return to the station instantly, but disappeared at the end of the field of vision.

One-minute, two-minute, three-minute......

I silently counted the time again in my heart, and the moment of 4 minutes and 48 seconds after coming to this area!

Woowoo woo –

Boom Boom –

The familiar Dongfeng returned to the station, and the front of the train drove out of Brenwich Station with steam in hand.

Under the slightly warm winter sun, it gradually left Ronald's field of vision, and finally disappeared completely.

"4 min 48 sec ......"

Muttering the number, Ronald is pretty sure that's the crux of the matter.

But '4 minutes and 48 seconds', what does it really mean?

To be on the safe side, Ronald stood still and waited for 9 minutes and 36 seconds, which is twice as long as 4 minutes and 48 seconds.

Woowoo woo –

Boom Boom –

Sure enough, the Dongfeng on time was replaced again!

“......”

"Try this."

When the words landed, Ronald ran away in the blink of an eye!

- The purpose is the vast space outside the station.

What if you run from here to the Bronwich city?

Will the time continue to increase by 4 minutes and 48 seconds, or will there be other special circumstances!

The station behind him is a little far away.

A moment when Ronald ran to the edge of the 'rage' power to perceive emotions.

Everything in front of him began to distort.

The light in the air, or the space itself, is bent at the waist, and the same changes are taking place everywhere at the same time, and everything that is far more brilliant than a kaleidoscope is distorted and fused, and time and space lose their meaning.

Ronald, who was in the middle of it, lost everything in his sight and fell into it without any ability to react.

But it was only for a moment.

There was almost no interval, and Ronald's eyes suddenly lit up.

Smack-

Woowoo woo –

Boom Boom –

His feet were on the familiar ground again, and his eyes regained their ability to see.

And immediately after, there is the familiar Dongfeng in front of you.

It was about to leave the station.

Ronald is back on the platform!
