Chapter 209: This Is Logic (continued)
A sense of crisis, which is a feeling that cannot be explained by science, is like the sense of crisis of animals, they are able to predict when a crisis will come. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, earthquakes, tsunamis and so on, although human beings are also higher animals, they have never had such a sense of crisis.
A certain philosopher said that human beings have evolved to abandon this ability because they are able to create and invent things that can predict danger.
Cheng Chu now has an extremely strong sense of crisis, he knows that the main theme of his "Pursuit" is the logic of traversal, if this point is attacked, what will be left?
"Hopefully, this book is just a simple traversal mission. Cheng Chu held this mood and continued to look down-

"Hey!" he shouted again, "get rid of this!"
"I'm sorry," I apologized to him and put away the wire mesh, loading it into the suitcase and closing the case. "You said you wanted to find him. "But—you say it's a time machine!" ......]
That's right, it's really crossed, and you can see it from the time passage at the beginning.
What follows, as the bar owner described the job, is unlimited for expenses, and there are stacks of dollars inside the box.
In short, the Time Authority doesn't care how much you spend, only whether you complete the task.
I, the owner of the bar, asked my unwed mother to go to the deflated three and carry out the mission.

March 10, 1964, 5th time zone 17:00, "Cleveland Top" building
There's a notice at the bottom of the door that my lease is expiring next week, but other than that, the room looks the same. Outside, the trees were bare, and the sky looked like it was going to rain. I was in a hurry, stayed for a moment, and took the cash, blouse, and coat that I had left there in my rented room. I hired a car to come to the hospital. It took me twenty minutes to get impatient with the nursery, so I took advantage of her inattention to steal the baby. Let's go back to the "Cleveland Top" building. This time-setting with a dial is more complicated, as the building did not exist in 1945. I expected it though. ……]
"How is it one by one?" Cheng Chu asked.
"This time is definitely important. Cheng Chu used a pen to write down these times one by one.
The unwed mother managed to steal the baby and left it at the door of the orphanage.
He found his unmarried mother, who was still a girl at that time, found two deflated threes and forcibly took them away.
And it's still brought to the building where the time and space jumps, is this going to take that deflated three to cross?
"It always feels that it's not that simple, or rather, what is the purpose of the unmarried mother's crossing?" Cheng Chu said: "I didn't tell the bar owner what the unmarried mother was helping with." ”
"Didn't the unwed mother say that she was going to kill this deflated three, why did she take him to a place that traveled through time and space? ”
One question after another lingered in Cheng Chu's mind, and he found that compared with "You Fools", his own "Pursuit" was really too simple, and the main line was clear, although sometimes a lot of false clues would be left behind.
But at least it won't be like that!

I wrote to him. His eyebrows raised. "Someone like that, huh? This ......."
"You do your job, sergeant. I turned to my partner and said, "Young man, your troubles are over. You're going to start doing the best job a man can do -- and you're going to do it. I know. ”
"But ......"
"There's not so much 'but'! Get some sleep and think about this suggestion, you'll love it. ”
"You will!" the sergeant agreed. "Look at me - born in 1917, still alive, young, enjoying life. "I went back to the room where I was plane-jumping and dialed everything to the predetermined zero. ……]
It's another inexplicable crossing, this "You Are Such Fools" is not a little careless to see clearly, this book is not even serious to read clearly.
Unwed mom, why did he cross over to find an ordinary soldier?
"What are these things, the time is too fast, the time changes too fast, and I can't react at all. Cheng Chu can only barely understand the time by writing and drawing on paper.
Then this question is answered.
[…… November 7, 1970, 5th Time Zone, 23:01, Daddy's Bar, New York City
I walked out of the pantry and grabbed a 1/5 barrel of Scotch whisky Licho, which was the minute I was gone. My assistant was still arguing with the customer who was streaming "I Am My Laozi" on demand. I said, "Forget it, let him put it out, and turn it off when he's done." "I'm very tired. It's hard work, but someone has to do it. Since the 1972 cataclysm, it has been difficult to recruit people these days. ……]
"As an unwed mother, my job is to recruit young partners. Cheng Chu finally understood, no wonder his unmarried mother crossed everywhere.
"You Fools" is coming to an end, and at the end, the unmarried mother said that he wanted to retire because he had worked hard for a long time.
But the content of the ending made Cheng Chu extremely terrifying.
[…… When I was a time merchant, these words used to inspire me, but now they are different. Thirty years of involuntary life in time and space have completely exhausted people. I took off my shirt and pants and looked at my stomach when my body was exposed. The caesarean section left a long scar, but the hair on my body is so thick and thick that I wouldn't notice it if I didn't look closely.
Then I glanced at the ring on my finger.
……
I felt like I had a headache, but I don't take headache powder.
So I got into the bed, whistled and turned off the lights.
You're not there at all. It was none other than me, Jenny, who was alone in the darkness.
I miss you so much......]
Jenny, I miss you so much!
"Wait, Jenny...... Isn't Jenny the name of an unwed mother, when she was a girl?
"I'll see, this time period ......"
Cheng Chu picked up the time form he sent, and then wrote and drew for a long time before he gasped.
He said: "The unmarried mother, the bar owner, the unmarried mother who made him pregnant and left suddenly, and the remaining babies of the unmarried mother and the unwed mother, are all one person!"
"They're one person from start to finish!!" (To be continued.) )
