Chapter 182: Time Travel
Evening.
On the streets of Star City, the crowds are surging, and it is the rush hour after work, and the West Gate walks out of the crowd and turns to a secluded street.
After more than a month of silence, there was so much going on in the last few days that he wanted to be alone for a while.
Before he became Superman, Simon was just an ordinary student, living a three-point and one-line life every day, dormitories, classrooms, canteens, and later he often exercised, but there was basically nothing to do in a day, relaxed, but now it is different, what happened from noon today to now is quite complicated, go to Africa, find hostages, rescue, go to the United States again, and then return, fly around the earth, just go to comfort Kotoe again, I don't know what to happen at night, of course, it is necessary to accompany the two beauties, if there is an accident, And go out to the rescue.
"Superman is so busy!" Simon was a little self-deprecating, "But, being Superman, it feels good, at least not lonely, not lonely." ”
Not far away, an old man sat on a bench on the side of the road.
The old man was full of silver hair, well-spoken, clean and tidy, very beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun, wearing a shirt and trousers, shiny leather shoes, his face was like a sunset, and his eyes were attentive, looking at the west gate.
Simon just glanced at it and felt that this old man was unusual, he always had to see through the people or things he was interested in, but strangely, he couldn't see through the old man's body, even if he was a wise superman, he could see through.
Simon was so amazed that he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, slowed down his steps, and finally stopped in front of the old man.
The old man motioned for Simon to sit down with his gaze, and Simon unconsciously sat down beside the old man.
"Looks like you're busy." The old man spoke first, his eyes fixed on the passers-by in the distance, as if he were not speaking to Simon.
"A little busy."
Ximen's mentality is also very relaxed, and he responds easily, no matter who he is, whether he knows his identity or not, staring at the old man's eyes, trying to find something from the other party's eyes, but unfortunately, he can't see anything, this piece of old ginger is too spicy.
"After you become Superman, there are so many things!" The old man said calmly, Mandarin is very standard, and his gaze is still the same.
Ximen was only stunned for a moment, it seemed that the other party knew his identity, and still said easily: "It's better to be an ordinary person, relaxed." ”
The two of them asked and answered, as if they were very familiar with each other, and from the outsider's point of view, the two seemed to be grandchildren, and they were very harmonious.
But Simon didn't know the old man's identity at all, and the old man knew everything about Simon like the back of his hand.
"Isn't it nice to be in control of the fate of the entire human race?" The old man said.
"The fate of mankind is in the hands of human beings, and no one can interfere." Simon said.
"You've changed the fate of humanity a few times, haven't you?"
"Maybe it's not an inevitable fate, and humanity itself can save it."
"Life is unpredictable, and fate has been planned." The old man said, turning his gaze to Simon.
Simon looked through the old man's pupils, deep and boundless, like the vast universe. Suddenly, at this moment, even Simon's ability could not be understood, the scene suddenly changed, everything around him disappeared, the earth disappeared, and the two of them were in the universe, surrounded by shining stars, and only a bench remained, on which he and the old man were sitting.
Simon wants to breathe, it's a vacuum, there is no air, he can't breathe, he wants to stand up, his feet have nowhere to land, he has nowhere to exert himself, he wants to fly, his superpowers are gone.
Looking around, the vastness, wanting to speak, there is no sound, it cannot be transmitted in a vacuum.
The old man just looked at Simon and smiled.
At this moment, Simon is an ordinary person, an ordinary earthling.
The old man's voice reached Simon's ears, and to be precise, it was Simon's brain that directly received the old man's message.
"Look at your left front."
Simon turned his head to see that a star that looked much smaller than the sun suddenly expanded, emitting a dazzling light, and the strong light made Simon blink, and then quickly shrunk, and he could see nothing.
"It was a star much more massive than the Sun, under Orion's cantilever, that had just had a supernova explosion and was now a neutron star, and its last rays would reach Earth in a dozen years."
Simon's state of mind could no longer be relaxed, and he exclaimed in his heart, "What? That is, we are now more than a dozen light-years away from Earth!! Oh, my God! ”
"Yes, you're right." The old man seemed to know what Simon was thinking, "We're in the galaxy Orion cantilever. ”
About ten minutes later, before the afterglow had dissipated, a circle of light suddenly appeared, the circle was oval, and the surrounding light flashed, and the bench slowly passed through the circle and entered another world.
In front of Simon, there were two huge fleets fighting fiercely, and the weapons used by Simon had never seen before, and they could emit light waves. One of the fleets could be seen as a metal fleet, huge in size, and Simon estimated that a single battleship could be equivalent to the entire moon. The fleet on the other side seemed to be made of stony, silicon-based materials, but the light they emitted quickly destroyed the metal fleet and emerged victorious.
"It's out of the galaxy, 30 million light-years from Earth, and the wars here are all super wars, and once humanity sees such wars, it's time for destruction." The old man looked at Simon and said, his mouth didn't move, and the information went directly to his brain.
Simon's eyes widened.
"Am I dreaming again?"
"It's not a dream, you should know it very well."
Simon did know that this was not a dream.
After a few minutes of observing the war, the aperture reappears, and the bench passes through the aperture into a new world.
In front of him was a grassy world, with rivers in the distance, and there seemed to be animals, and Simon's eyes could clearly see that most of the animals here had two heads and hair on their bodies. Simon's mind moved, and he wanted to fly over to take a look, but his body shot out and hovered into the air, the bench and the old man were still in the distance, and the superpower appeared again.
"What is this place?"
Simon opened his mouth to speak, and he had a voice and was able to breathe.
"This is the other side of the galaxy, I named her Planet Farley, three times the diameter of the Earth, which is not recorded in your human astronomical records, if humans can exist for another thousand years, maybe this planet will be discovered." The old man's message went to Simon's brain.
The location where the west gate hovers is five kilometers away from the old man.
There's nothing strange about it anymore, any abnormality is normal, anything impossible is possible.
Simon soared into the sky, and soon penetrated the atmosphere, looking at the super-earth in front of him.
"My superpowers haven't gone away!" Simon thought.
"It's been there."
The old man and the bench appeared behind Simon, who sat down on the bench again.
Simon doesn't know how the old man and the bench came over, maybe the old man has stronger superpowers, but even if he has a strong superpower, the speed reaches the speed of light, and traveling thousands of light-years in the universe is a long process!
Simon was completely convinced, not wanting to resist or ask more.
The aperture appears again, and the bench passes through the aperture and enters a new world.
The New World was dead silent, desertified, lifeless, and strangely enough, there were two suns in the sky, shining on the earth, and the ground was hot, but soon, Simon's clairvoyance found signs of life below the surface, and life was carbon-based.
"This is the three-body world, and in a few years, the three-body creatures will attack the earth." The old man's message came out.
Simon had heard of the three-body problem, but he didn't expect it to exist.
