Chapter 281: A Thousand Years Later
"How far away is the thought, you can roll me as far as you can!" Lin Qian had heard this sentence, and now he really saw how far the thought was, it could cross the stars, cross time and space, and cross from another completely different world to this world.
It's just, here's ...... Is it really Earth?
Although the surroundings are familiar, there is a sense of desolation everywhere. The city doesn't stop running at night, it's a transportation hub, and it's supposed to be full of shuttle vehicles, but except for the car that "hit" Lin Qian just now, he couldn't see any trace of another car.
Through the dim streetlights, he saw that there were a lot of fallen leaves on the asphalt road, and there were no sanitation workers to clean them up, and the plants in the green belt had grown wildly to the height of people - wait...... Lin Qian glanced down at his transparent body, only to find that he had returned to his normal height. But now his attention was completely off himself, he wanted to figure out what was going on on Earth, and why the once bustling city had become so deserted.
Not far across the road was a group of neon shops with flashing lights, Lin Qian originally thought that he would gain something here, but he didn't expect to see that these shops were either closed or the shops were already full of dust, obviously no one had been here for a long time. He was not reconciled, and searched the neighboring community again, and even used his spiritual power to investigate the breath of human beings within a radius of several kilometers, but the result was shocking—there was not a single living person here!
"That's not right!" Lin Qian quickly reacted, although the car was fast just now, it wouldn't be too far away from him in a short time, if he was right to investigate, at least there should be someone in the car.
With a flash of figure, Lin Qian immediately followed the road just now to pursue the car that had just passed through his body. Along the way, he saw the working traffic lights, the dazzling neon lights on both sides of the road late at night, but he couldn't see anyone, and the car was the only thing he could go to find answers.
Soon, a small white car came into view, standing out against the silence of the night sky. It's just that...... Why didn't the car have wheels? Why had the brand of the car never seen before? And why, there wasn't a single person in the car, including the driver?
Lin Qian maintained the same flight speed as the speed of the car, and got into the car with his transparent body, only to find that this thing that looked like a car on the outside, but the layout inside was not prepared for people at all, and the entire interior of the body was actually a small laboratory.
The sophisticated instruments and dials seemed to be recording something, but they were all complex English, and he couldn't read much, like some simple words were recombined into new words. English has always been like this, its vocabulary is increasing all the time, and when it encounters something new, it needs a new word to represent it, and I have to say that this is much sillier than Chinese.
Perhaps, by following this "car", you can find out the reason why the whole city has become a dead city, Lin Qian thought. His spiritual power spread, like a radar to probe the life around him, but he never felt the breath of a human being, except for some animals whose names he couldn't name. This continued from late night to early morning, and when a red glow appeared on the horizon, the "driverless" car finally stopped in front of a strange building.
Lin Qian really couldn't find any other adjectives to describe the building, but this is not to say that the shape of the building is very artistic, on the contrary, its shape is very simple, a matchbox-like cuboid building. But the strangest thing was that it had no traces of doors, no windows, and a smooth exterior that could be used to look in a mirror, and the sharp corners made Lin Qian deeply suspect that the sharp horns could effortlessly pierce a piece of brown paper falling from the sky. If this was a large stainless steel or aluminum alloy sculpture, Lin Qian would really believe it, but what happened next deeply confirmed that this was a building, because inside, someone walked out!
The wall without a single crack suddenly recessed into a part of the air, the same boxy and angular piece, and a human-like creature slowly walked out of it. It was said that he was similar to a human being, because Lin Qian couldn't feel any soul fluctuations at all.
After a closer look, Lin Qian found that this was a robot, his appearance was covered with a metal shell, and his eyes flashed with a faint light, but he didn't have any stiffness of a machine when he acted, when did technology become so developed?
The robot didn't find Lin Qian in the soul state, it went straight to the unmanned car, opened the door, took out a box of sealed things from it, and then walked back without any difficulty, and the building closed again, leaving no gaps.
Lin Qian raised his head suddenly, the sun is still the same sun, the sky is still the same blue sky and white clouds, without the exhaust of the car and the exhaust emissions of the factory, the air is better than before, it's just ...... Is this still the earth he knows? What about people? What about real humans? Lin Qian could be sure that there was no human breath in this building, and everything inside made him a little inexplicably afraid, so he didn't think about going in at all, but left here and began to search aimlessly.
This is a very developed city in his opinion, with many high-rise buildings, convenient transportation, all kinds of public facilities, and an open subway entrance, but there is no one. Judging by the text on the exterior of the building, the city should belong to an English-speaking country, but I don't know what happened all of a sudden, and as a result, everyone left everything here behind and disappeared quietly. There was no trace of a fight, no strong smell of blood, as if the men had vanished into thin air, as if they had been struck by a dark purification.
The power system is still running, and the power supply to the entire city has not been cut off, but in some places it may be too old, and the power lines are aging, causing some power to be paralyzed. Lin Qian cautiously walked into a bank marked "Bank", hoping to get the information he wanted.
Now everything proves one thing: after Lin moved to the wizarding world, something significant happened here. And most importantly, what time is it? According to Lin Qian's calculations, he has been in the wizarding world for four years, and at most only a few minutes on Earth, and half an hour at most. But it was clear that this was impractical, because in just a few minutes, it was impossible to create a building that was not possible with the technology of the time, let alone a robot that could completely mimic human existence.
Fortunately, the power supply of this bank is quite normal, and on an LED screen in front of the counter, a line of red letters comes into view: "Apr. 1th, 3020".
3020! A thousand years? Lin Qian thought that something was wrong, and he went crazy to find a few shops with normal electricity, and got the same answer from those places.
"It's over!" Lin Qian suddenly became frightened, "It turns out that there is indeed a time difference between the two worlds, but it is not a fixed relationship, but no matter which world you cross from to another, time will be doubled. Four years — a thousand years, six thousand years — 24 years? God came 24 years before me. And I've been here for a day, and 250 days have passed in that world, which is eight months?"
Lin Qian lost all interest in this world, hurriedly closed his eyes, and his soul crossed countless galaxies back to his body, and when he opened his eyes, he was still on that planet not far from the magical world. Breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he hadn't lost everything yet, and if he stayed on Earth for ten days and half a month, he really couldn't imagine how he would face them when he returned.
Looking at the planet in front of him, Lin Qian was full of emotion, and plunged into it, this time he was connected to his body, and slowly descended from the outside of the atmosphere, because he was afraid of seeing high-rise buildings, for fear of seeing the earth in I don't know how many years later. At his feet was a large forest, and the rich magical aura reminded Lin Qian that he had returned to the magical world and landed in the Endless Forest.
Lin ...... Lin Gongzi!"
As soon as he stepped on the ground, a soft voice sounded in his ears, this is a female elf, probably less than twenty years old, saw Lin Qian falling from the sky, and recognized him.
"Do you recognize me?" Lin Qian had never seen this elf, and looking at her dress, he guessed that she was just a subordinate or something.
"I was Her Majesty's maid before, so I met Childe. The elf replied, a blush unconsciously appearing on her face.
"Before?" Lin Qian hurriedly woke up, eagerly grabbed her arm and asked, "Tell me quickly!
The female elf was obviously frightened, but she quickly calmed down, remembered the rumors about Lin Qian, took the initiative to stick her body up, and said softly, "Childe, what did you say?"
Lin Qian noticed that he might have some problems with his attitude, but the performance of this female elf made him frown, quietly let go of her, straightened her clothes, sorted out her thoughts and said, "Girl, please take me to Her Majesty." ”
The female elf naturally saw Lin Qian's displeasure, and wondered if the rumors were wrong? I heard that Lin Qian did not refuse to come, and even the people from the enemy camp did not let go, and he also accepted two elves at once, and he was very good-looking, why did he let me go? However, although she guessed so, she was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and naturally leaned up, and said with a crying voice: "I was kicked out by Your Majesty because of some small mistakes, and ordered me not to approach the palace, and asked my son to forgive me for not obeying my fate." Saying that, the female elf cried again with red eyes, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was very cute.
Lin Qian saw her actions, how could he not know her thoughts, thinking that she was so unbearable in the eyes of everyone, and remembered that she did monopolize the seven ladies, and she deserved to be misunderstood.
"In that case, take your leave!" Lin Qian didn't look at it, and disappeared directly in place, leaving a blank female elf.
