Chapter 2: The Changing World Line (Part II)
The numbers are falling in smaller directions like flowing water.
Thirty, twenty, fifteen. The more he jumped, the slower and slower the numbers of the world line became—Zhou Yuan found that this time he didn't have any headaches or anything like that, and he could see the numbers jumping out in front of him completely and clearly;
"Let's go a little more......"
Zhou Yuan still remembers what he saw before, the first world line should be a number of about 1.1 to 1.3, but the beating of the world line is getting slower and slower, and finally he still failed to skip 10 and stopped at the position where the first four numbers are 12.41.
“……”
"How?"
The four items have long since disappeared, and even the location has changed, and the base of Overwatch has not been destroyed, Okabe Rintaro is sitting here in a white coat at this time, and Zhou Yuan is also wearing a white coat to assist.
“12.41…… Although it had an effect, it couldn't be completely reversed," Zhou Yuan's face was very confused, "I thought it was ...... That's the end of everything......"
Just because Overwatch is still there means it's not over. Rentaro Okabe took out a retro-style worldline rate of change detector from the cabinet and adjusted it a few times.
"Part of the world is already on track and will not merge anymore...... But there are still most of them, including our world, which has not been reversed, I don't know why...... I need a little time to investigate. ”
"Is it only partial......
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. I have made so many preparations, and I have so much expectation...... It still didn't work out?
"Hey...... Zhou Yuan, are you okay?"
Rentaro Okabe's voice sounded faintly in Zhou Yuan's ears.
“……?”
"Angela said you fainted in a hurry...... You passed out while sitting in the laboratory just now," Rentaro Okabe shook his hand in front of Zhou Yuan's eyes, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay...... It's just that the efforts so far have almost all been in vain...... It always feels a pity. ”
"It's not in vain...... Rentaro Okabe shook his head, "If the big world lines are not completely reversed, then one day they will meet again." But if you loosen the twine, the intersection points will become farther away. ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Yuan raised his head and asked.
That is to say...... Your act of unscrewing the hemp rope left the world with an extra half a year. ”
In other words, Zhou Yuan's one-year action has only extended the life of the world for half a year - if the next solution cannot be found in the remaining year and a half, then the world will still be finished.
"I said, how kind did Blackclaw give me the scabbard...... I see, there was no chance of success from the beginning......"
"Hey...... Zhou Yuan, are you okay? It can't be that the consciousness of another world line has come to you, right?"
At this time, Chief Morrison suddenly appeared - although he was already gray-haired, Chief Morrison was still wearing the windbreaker uniform of the Overwatch leader, which was the skin of the "Field Commander Morrison" on the Overwatch.
"What the hell is going on in this world line......
Zhou Yuan covered his head and sighed, the world line had deviated to such a large extent, and Chief Morrison did not attack the black claw's lair alone, and his whereabouts were unknown-so Zhou Yuan felt that he should need to understand what had happened in the past on this world line.
"You really guessed it...... I'm Zhou Yuan on another world line, and I just changed the world line," Zhou Yuan shrugged, "So...... I still don't know much about the current situation......"
The ability is still there, but all the members of Overwatch on this world line are basically fourth-world-level combat power - at least at the moment Zhou Yuan saw Chief Morrison, Dr. Angela Ziegler, and Sky Hunting Instructors.
If Zhou Yuan didn't run away, he would only be the fourth life. This level of strength...... Is this still Overwatch?
Fortunately, Athena No. 2 can still work, and Zhou Yuan consulted some information with the help of Athena No. 2.
First of all, the world is still in a situation where projections are flying all over the sky, and there are projections that need to be solved everywhere, and the problems of this world are more serious, and the projection that can be exchanged is not even one percent, generally speaking, the probability of projecting monsters, losing their minds or killing humans and the like is far more than the object of communication, so projection is synonymous with disaster; 。
"The origin of Overwatch on this world line is mysterious enough...... It's all different, isn't it?"
And then there's ......
Zhou Yuan saw that he was no longer suitable for Bajiquan at all, and his body with tendons and flesh was quite speechless...... The muscles that Zhou Yuan practiced according to Hong Meiling's practice method were basically hidden under the skin, and even if he exerted force, he couldn't see the prominent muscle groups;
Anyway, Zhou Yuan was quite speechless. But this world has the same things as before—such as the goal of Overwatch, whether you're still inside Overwatch or Black Claw.
Blackclaw remains...... The old man was still killed in the battle with Black Claw shortly after the time period when he originally rescued Zhou Yuan, as if all the world lines pointed to this matter.
"Sorry...... I want to take two days off, is that okay?"
Overwatch generally has to be on duty if it has combat effectiveness, taking turns to eliminate those projections that cannot be negotiated. But for Zhou Yuan's leave, Dr. Angela still approved.
So, Zhou Yuan leaned on the white hospital bed, smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant water, and sighed in a low voice where others couldn't see.
Zhou Yuan is really not in the mood to go to work with others now, or it is normal for Zhou Yuan to not run away now - the consciousness of the remote island ghost seems to have fallen into a deep sleep and has not yet recovered, and now Zhou Yuan is definitely a simple killing machine.
As for the reason - the goal that he has been fighting for a year has no results, and now Zhou Yuan has no idea what his goal is.
Zhou Yuan, who has no goals and no dreams, is now sitting quietly on the bed of the Overwatch like a walking corpse.
