Chapter 3: The Depressed Zhou Yuan (I)
Zhou Yuan hasn't taken a task for a week. In other words, he didn't do anything, just stayed in the room - in fact, the others were also quite helpless about this situation, after all, if Zhou Yuan himself didn't want to come out, it would be useless. What's more, this is not Zhou Yuan who could greet them with a smile a day ago and fight to change the world, but Zhou Yuan in another group of memories that don't know whether it's true or false - at least in their memories.
The reversal of the world line means that everything is reset - Overwatch still went to Gensokyo, but it was not Zhou Yuan who made the deal but Morrison, so Zhou Yuan's bracelet had some more things - for example, the rest of the soil that was all handed over to Yayun Zi before, and the keel that Zhou Yuan used to prepare to transform the rocket hammer, all of these things returned to Zhou Yuan's hands- The keel has been mounted on the rocket hammer, and as for the last thing left, there is no trace of it, probably because Zhou Yuan on this world line didn't take it at all.
ββ¦β¦β
Rentaro Okabe's research has not progressed at all, and no one knows how this world should be saved...... After more than a year of hard work, all I got was the result of "do it again" that was almost a joke, which is indeed a great blow to people's minds - even if ordinary people do an ordinary thing, after more than a year of doing it, the result will be far less than expected and will be lost, not to mention what Zhou Yuan did...... and its urgency.
Zhou Yuan had lost his goal once before, but this time he lost his direction. The person in charge of the research is Rentaro Okabe, who was supposed to have this division of labor - but now, it is clear that Zhou Yuan has no motivation to do anything, and there is no consciousness called the remote island ghost to persuade him - the remote island ghost for some unknown reason, although he can feel its existence, but he still has not regained consciousness.
"He still doesn't want to come out...... Then let's divide Zhou Yuan's task today. β
McRae had been holding his unknown brand of cigar, but he was rarely seen actually smoking itβmore often than not, it was left there to keep it burning, only taking the occasional puff. McRae picked up a stack of task papers, and after picking and picking one half, he handed the other half to Song Hana: "That guy is not in state now, but the task still has to be done." β
"Ah...... Good. β
Song Hana seemed to be distracted, and when she heard McCree call her, she turned her head, took the task paper in McCree's hand, and read it carefully.
Song Hana does have a good reason to be distracted - a week ago, she confessed to Zhou Yuan, although Zhou Yuan said that she would have to think about it for a night before giving her an answer, but looking at Zhou Yuan's expression, she would agree with it nine times out of ten - but now it is this result, Song Hana is still the little girl who admires Zhou Yuan, but does not dare to show her feelings.
Song Hana knew that Zhou Yuan had no memory before after switching the world line. In other words, the confession that I finally mustered up the courage to do was completely blown away.
"Really...... How can you make a girl take the initiative in this kind of thing! And twice!"
Song Hana angrily kicked the wall where Zhou Yuan's room was located, and then left with Zhou Yuan's task - now the projection phenomenon can be predicted a day in advance, so Overwatch has also become a task system, instead of the previous assault attendance. Most of the projections can't reach the level of the fourth world, so everyone's battles are quite simple, of course, there are occasional more difficult battles, but they don't die in battle.
"Song Hana, come on!"
Song Hana clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and then twisted the bracelet. A three-story mecha was quickly projected in front of Song Hana, and then unfolded into a humanoid figure holding a blade behind his back in one hand - this mecha was a circle or two larger than Kaya Ruwei's, and it was also equipped with a lot of black technology.
For example, the high-frequency plasma lightsaber with green ripples that Song Hana's mecha is now holding in his hand and open.
Song Hana seems to be richer than the previous world line. In addition, Song Hana is also the only agent whose strength has not yet reached the fourth world level - plus this mecha is the fourth world level, it is true, but Song Hana herself is still an ordinary person.
"Report, the task was successfully completed. β
The figure of the Black Shadow appeared in Morrison's office. It seems that the Black Shadow no longer needs a teleportation device, and can be teleported directly to some locations, and the weapon is no longer the previous weapon similar to the Uzi submachine gun, but has become a small launcher with a sense of technology strapped to the wrist.
"How did it turn out?"
"The other party's program is just a small kiss in front of me...... It was easy to crack it, but because the other party pulled the network cable too quickly, he only got a part of the text," the black shadow took the manuscript in his hand, "It mentions words like the task is completed and the plan is smooth...... However, the specific mission is not specified, and it may be related to Zhou Yuan's actions to change the world line. β
ββ¦β¦ I see, you go and call Anna. β
Chief Morrison nodded and took the manuscript.
"Okay. β
The shadow nodded, and then teleported and disappeared in place. A short time later, Anna appeared in the room.
"You're looking for me, Morrison?"
The world's artificial intelligence "Athena" still doesn't know where she is, and she's not in Overwatch anyway - so Morrison can only use this most primitive way to call people.
"Hmm...... Look at the manuscript, it's something that the Shadow has brought back," Morrison showed it to Anna," the Shadow said...... There are words in it that refer to the completion of the mission, the smooth planning and so on, and it may be related to the change of the world line. β
"The previous Worldline Overwatch is basically finished...... Is there any beneficial significance to Blackclaw in changing the world line in this way? Overwatch's strength has not been weakened...... Or rather, it's a big increase. β
Anna muttered.
"That's what I'm worried about," Chief Morrison sighed, "I hope nothing goes wrong...... Or is it because of the interference of the Black Claw that it stayed on this world line?"
ββ¦β¦ There's so little information that I can't analyze anything," Anna sighed, "So...... What's next?"
"Let's continue with the original plan...... In addition, don't tell Zhou Yuan yet. β
ββ¦β¦ Got it. β
