"Nine years. It was still the bald man who replied.

"How do you calculate this time?" Gu Yue was very confused in his heart, if according to Xiao Gu Yue's statement, it was impossible to calculate it in just nine years.

"One lap around the West Ring Road is a day. One of the people next to the bald man replied.

He wears a well-fitting suit, and after all these years, there are not too many wrinkles and dust on the suit. It can be seen that this is a person who is very serious about life, and even a little cleanliness.

The man in the suit glanced at Gu Yue, "We have a special person responsible for recording the time." ”

"But at this rate, eighteen years have passed in the outside world, and it should not be only nine years here. Gu Yue raised the confusion in his heart.

"The planes here are chaotic, and sometimes we accidentally drive into other planes. The bald man has a Buddhist face, "Not all the Western Rings of time and space are counterclockwise." ”

Gu Yue's eyes lit up, "Clockwise?"

"Yes, the odds and the bad, so our time hasn't been as fast as it has been. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be a lot of people left in this car. ”

Three hundred and sixty-five counterclockwise laps is one year less. In the same way, if it is clockwise, it will be an extra year.

It seems that the people here must have mastered some laws and controlled their own time passage within a certain range.

"Due to the multiple coverage of time and space, there are many parallel worlds in the mezzanine of this world. Can you control the West Ring Bus into other worlds without being swallowed up by the turbulence of time and space?" asked Gu Yue again.

Those people were just chatting casually, but they didn't expect Gu Yue to know so much, and looked at him with some surprise.

"How much does the second lieutenant know about the mezzanine of this world?" Although the man in the suit was a little surprised by the young man's youth, looking at his calmness and the momentum on his body, he did not have the immaturity and clumsiness of a recruit at all.

Presumably, his level in the Special Operations Department will not be too low, and he should have reached the A level. And just now I heard the people below vaguely call him a second lieutenant, so that's what he called him.

"Not more than you, I just know that if you want to get out, you have to make the West Loop bus go clockwise in our world. Gu Yue said.

"When we first got stuck, we did try a lot of things, and without exception, they all failed. The bald man sighed, "Later, after various analyses, we learned that there are rules in all parallel worlds in the mezzanine of this world. ”

"Rules, are you talking about the rules of the world?" Hu Haoran's eyes widened.

"Yes, the rules of the world. Just like in the real world, the rules of the world are the rules of nature, and human beings cannot change them.

In the same way, the many parallel worlds in the mezzanine of this world are small, but they also have irreversible rules.

For example, in this parallel world we are in, the rule is counterclockwise, that is, time is reversed.

Whether you are walking or riding in a car, no matter how you change direction, the final trajectory must be counterclockwise. The bald man said.

"Then in the parallel world of clockwise, the rule is clockwise. Gu Yue rubbed his right elbow, Hu Haoran had already helped him deal with it briefly, and now the bleeding had stopped.

If he wants to get out of here, he needs to change the rules of this parallel world, which is more difficult than he thinks.

"Can you let me enter a clockwise parallel world, I need to feel the difference between the two worlds. Gu Yue asked.

The bald man and the man in the suit looked at each other, and finally turned to a middle-aged woman sitting at the front of the carriage.

"Sister Song, when is the next time we enter the α world?" asked the man in the suit.

The middle-aged woman named Sister Song turned her head, she had short, burgundy shoulder-length hair, heavy makeup on her face, and her lips were smeared as if they were poisoned.

She was wearing a handsome and capable leather coat, and she glanced at Gu Yue with her glasses, "Soon, there is still one circle, and the No. 3 turbulence tunnel will appear in a state of suspended animation." ”

"Tunnel...... Fake Death?" Hu Haoran looked confused, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"Where there are rules, there will be patterns. The bald man looked at the unchanged scenery around him, "Most of the many parallel worlds in the mezzanine of the world have laws of operation.

It's just that the laws of each parallel world are not at the same frequency. I'll give you an example, and you'll get the idea.

Just like the eight planets revolve around the sun, each planet rotates, but the speed of rotation and rotation is different.

Similarly, each parallel world in the mezzanine is also in operation, but their time system is different. In our understanding, it becomes the difference between the speed and slowness of the passage of time. ”

Gu Yue understood, "Because of the different time systems, this phenomenon will be caused: an hour in the real world outside is equivalent to a day in this parallel world, or it may be a year in another parallel world." Is that understandable?"

"That's what it means!" the bald man nodded.

"It's amazing!" Hu Haoran exclaimed.

"This parallel world we live in is at the outermost end of the mezzanine, and time passes at the slowest speed. The man in the suit took over the topic, "Time passes too fast in some parallel worlds, and it is estimated that as soon as we pass, we will die of old age." ”

"By the way, what's that fake death tunnel?" Hu Haoran looked curious.

"When two or more parallel worlds get close to a certain extent, their respective space-time systems will interfere with each other and collide.

This is the black arc you just encountered, and it can swallow everything in an instant.

If the disturbance is not very strong, it will go away on its own as before. However, if the disturbance is too strong, turbulence tunnels can be formed.

Inside this kind of tunnel, there are black arcs. However, if you want to go to other parallel worlds, you can only go through the tunnel.

The state of suspended animation of the tunnel in Sister Song's mouth is actually a false calm state formed by the superposition of the double turbulent tunnel. ”

"It's similar to the principle of offsetting each other?" asked Gu Yue with his head sideways.

"Not bad!" The bald man glanced at Gu Yue appreciatively, "The state of suspended animation in the space-time turbulence tunnel is that after the two parallel worlds interfere with each other, a third parallel world appears.

The appearance of this third person will make the first two parallel worlds temporarily shake hands and make peace, and resist the third invader together.

During this time, the black arc in the original tunnel will disappear. This is the perfect time for us to pass through the tunnel and travel to another parallel world. ”

When Hu Haoran heard this, a touch of excitement appeared on his face, he couldn't wait and wanted to try it.

"You also named the world here?" Gu Yue remembered the α in the middle-aged woman's mouth.

"Yes, after countless attempts, we have identified several of the more stable parallel worlds, and have given them simple names for easy recording. ”

The man in the suit said and took out his mobile phone and looked at the memo on it, "Among them, the three parallel worlds of α, β and γ, the passage of time is clockwise, and the speed of passage is relatively close to our world, which is 1:1, 1:1.2 and 1:1.5 respectively. ”

"α world passes at the same speed as time passes here?" Gu Yue was surprised.

"Yes, so we basically went to α world to offset the regressive years. The man in the suit said.

"You have regressed for a total of nine years, that is, you are nine years younger than when you came in, why are you no longer controlling your youth?" Hu Haoran looked at Sister Song in front of the carriage and asked.

In addition to the fact that women do not accept old age, in fact, most people do not like to watch themselves get old.

There is such an opportunity to make yourself younger, and these people should not miss it.

"The age of the people in our car is too old, and nine years is almost the limit of what they can accept. Go back too much and some will become smaller than you. ”

The man in the suit shook his head, "It doesn't matter if we are older, if you two are set back ten years and become one child, would you be willing?"

Gu Yue and Hu Haoran glanced at each other, and the answer was naturally unwilling. Ten years back, the two of them were only seven years old.

If it is said that the seventeen-year-old Gu Yue, Xia Ying can wait for him. As for the seven-year-old, Gu Yue didn't dare to think about it.

"If there is a real opportunity to go out, this age becomes a difficult problem to explain. Sister Song's voice came from the front.

She stood up from the carriage, holding a folder in one hand and patting her leather pants with the other, "Old Lei, go and inform everyone, prepare to enter the No. 3 turbulence tunnel." ”

"Okay!" the man in the suit walked to the skylight and jumped down.

"And Tunnel No. 1 and Tunnel No. 2?" Gu Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Nonsense, didn't you say it, we found three parallel worlds clockwise. To get to them, there are naturally three space-time turbulence tunnels. Sister Song spoke a little ruthlessly, the bald man touched his head in embarrassment, Hu Haoran pouted, but Gu Yue didn't care much.

"Are you really from the Special Operations Department?" Sister Song looked like an eldest sister, holding a folder and walking up to Gu Yue very handsomely, taking off her glasses.

Gu Yue didn't talk nonsense, and showed the black gold card retrieved from the trash can.

"Black Gold Card of the Special Operations Department!" the bald man exclaimed, and glanced at Sister Song, both of whom were shocked when they saw each other's eyes.

This little ghost, how old is he, he actually holds a black gold card!

Gu Yue took back the black gold card with an indifferent expression, "Is there any problem?"

"I remember you said under the car that if you want to get out alive, you have to listen to you?" the middle-aged woman looked at him with a smile on her face, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"You think I'm joking?" Gu Yue asked rhetorically.

The woman was stunned by his question.

Gu Yue said indifferently, "I'm different from you, I have so much time to squander." I only have three days to go, and even if I want to change the rules of this world, I can only do it. ”

The bald man and Sister Song looked at Gu Yue with some emotion, the light in the eyes of this young man was enough to illuminate the entire turbulent tunnel.

At this moment, they actually believed the young man's words, believing that he could change the rules of the world and take them out.

It's kind of incredible.

"Less than two-thirds of the way to go, we are entering α tunnel. Sister Song handed the folder in her hand to Gu Yue, "This records some of our discoveries in various parallel worlds, you can learn about them properly." ”

"Thank you!" Gu Yue was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, took the folder, sat cross-legged on the carriage, and looked at it carefully.
