Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 15

“Every time the future is changed, the life of the closest person must be sacrificed. The lower the probability of this future appearing, the more people need to die. The user of the ‘Eye of the Future’ ultimately gains everything, but also loses everything.”

Anna said softly.

Her closest person was her sister Annie. She would not sacrifice her sister’s life to change the fact that she was 【Heartless】, and Annie was the same.

Therefore, even if they obtained the Sequence 6 Eye of the Future, they could not change their own destiny.

Because they could not afford the chip to change destiny.

Leon recalled the scene of old geezer Moria having many wives and concubines, but not a single child at his knee.

Could it be that all his children died because of this?

No way? If that’s the case, why didn’t the people around him notice?

“Will the traces of existence of the deceased be erased?”

Leon asked.

Annie shook her head, “No.”

“The Eye of the Future has another function.”

Anna continued,

“It can replicate the projections of the deceased, making them look like they are alive and accompanying the holder, but they will only mechanically do what they used to do. They will not have new thoughts or actions, and once the fact of their death is exposed, they will shatter and can never return.”

This is truly hitting where it hurts, causing the death of one’s closest people, yet having to continue facing relatives who are still living in the past.

This is not a gift at all, it’s a curse, isn’t it?

As Leon thought this, he suddenly recalled the abnormal behavior of Moria’s wives at the ball.

They were attending the ball, but they had no interaction with him. Moria introduced him to them, but they didn’t pay much attention. At the time, Leon just thought they were probably used to a life of privilege and looked down on him, the illegitimate son from the countryside.

Thinking back now, could it be that they were also repeating past balls?

If that’s the case, could they have died long ago?

Is this the reason why half of Moria’s relationships with the wives of Green Shade Territory’s nobles were ambiguous?

Moria was constantly engaging in intimate relationships with the women around him, because only in this way could he continuously use the “Eye of the Future”.

And the people around Moria would die one by one, just like those wives, just like his children!

Holy crap! This old geezer!

Please, please, please don’t use the “Eye of the Future” again. If everyone around him dies, won’t I be next?

Wait, wait, did the original owner die because of this reason?

Essentially, I am no longer considered this old geezer’s child, am I?

No, I cannot be so lucky. My body and flesh and blood now belong to Leon Moria. Bloodline-wise, I am still the old geezer’s closest person.

To verify his guess, Leon tentatively asked,

“Anna, Annie, were there any strange behaviors from Lord Moria’s wives and concubines?”

“They held parties every day and said similar things every day.”

Annie said.

“They are dead.”

Anna gave the conclusion, “It’s just that Lord Moria doesn’t want others to know the truth, so he has been using the Divine Gift to maintain their projections of existence.”

Leon’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Since Moria could choose the future most beneficial to him among countless futures, was his appearance also his choice?

Did he have the ability to save Green Shade Territory, yet still have to flee here with the Divine Gift?

What exactly does he want to do?

To know the full truth, he must find Moria.

But Green Shade Territory still had a pile of things waiting for him.

“Lord Leon, you can send Annie to chase after Lord Moria and bring him back.”

Anna saw Leon’s concern and said.

“As long as you become the new holder of the ‘Eye of the Future’, you will not die.”

“Since he can see the future and change the future, he naturally has a way to avoid your pursuit.”

Leon thought about it rationally and concluded that not moving was the best option for now.

If Annie really caught up to the old geezer, and the old geezer, not wanting to be caught, directly changed destiny, it would increase his own probability of death.

“Since he let me take over the position of Lord, he shouldn’t let me die in the short term. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had intimate relationships with so many noble ladies; he was also increasing my probability of survival.”

Leon rubbed his forehead and continued to ask,

“Is the butler Dennis one of your people?”

Anna and Annie shook their heads simultaneously.

“Mr. Dennis followed Lord Moria for 20 years and was loyal to Lord Moria.”

“Did you see him leave with Father?”

“No. After Lord Moria left, Mr. Dennis also disappeared.”

“Did Dennis have any strange behavior?”

“No, Mr. Dennis was very normal. His actions every day seemed similar, but in reality, there were distinctions. He was a living person.”

Anna said with certainty.

“Mr. Dennis likes to grow flowers. When his flowerbed grows new flowers, he will personally name them, and every flower’s name is different.”

Annie added.

What a boring person, who would give every single flower a name?

Alright, this only proves that he was indeed alive, but why did he disappear?

Leon rubbed his forehead again, adding another question to the list of doubts.

“Did Father really leave me nothing besides the seal? For example, letters, messages?”

Leon asked suspiciously.

Anna and Annie nodded simultaneously.

“Impossible, he must have left something.”

If Moria had left nothing, wouldn’t he be afraid that I would find out the function of Sequence 6 and then recklessly pursue him? Causing the future he chose to go awry?

Leon stood up, paced back and forth, and then rummaged through the bedroom, searching for clues left by Moria.

“Riddler! I hate riddlers the most!”

“What are you looking for? Do you need help?”

Anna asked.

Annie also looked at Leon curiously.

“Looking for letters, letters Father left for me.”

Leon turned back and looked at the twin maids and Sophie, “You help me look too.”

The three nodded slightly and joined the search for clues.

The entire bedroom, including the bathtub that could accommodate 4 people, was searched thoroughly, but they still couldn’t find a letter.

“Did I make a mistake? Or was the letter not hidden in the bedroom and placed elsewhere?”

Leon put down the small knife. He had already peeled off the decorative paintings and maps on the walls, but still hadn’t found a single word left by Moria.

“Lord Leon, are you sure Lord Moria left you a message?”

Anna asked.

Leon nodded, “I’m sure.”

“According to Lord Moria’s personality, he would probably put it in the most obvious place. Check the pocket of your formal wear.”

Anna said.

Leon froze for a moment, found his only luxurious coat, reached into the pocket, and indeed felt a letter.

He suddenly worried about his IQ, which was over 120.

When a person is too smart, they like to overthink.

It turns out this old geezer never intended to hide the letter at all!

Leon tore open the envelope, took out the white stationery paper, and saw the contents—
