"It's time to go back."

One morning, Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly sat up from the bed, he was still groggy from last night's hangover, but there was a thought that kept echoing in his mind.

Today, it's time to leave.

The world is real, but it is unreal to him. Wandering between the real and the unreal is not something to be talked about, because when you want to leave a world, no matter how many times you go through it, you don't feel very comfortable, and the longer you spend here, the more connected you become.

This is why time travel is a very dangerous thing, and it is possible to give up the opportunity to go back at any time because of the impulse, and enjoy the pleasure of changing an era wantonly, and after the pleasure, almost no one cares about the endless revenge of the time later.

Speaking of which, the revenge of time is a terrible thing, no...... Or it should be called the retribution of cause and effect, which is a supreme law that transcends time and space.

Probably no one knows this better than Xiao Xiaoqi, after all...... There is a stepmother who almost fully understands this law.

She once said that cause and effect are actually a regular connection, which is faster than the speed of light, and it is far and wide. For the simplest example, if an astronaut takes a spaceship to a place more than two light-years away from Earth, it will take two years to even travel light, but the moment his wife on Earth gives birth to a child, he automatically becomes a father. Whether he knows it or not, he has become a father.

So at least Xiao Xiaoqi has no ability to escape from this kind of rule limitation, as far as he knows, no one has been able to escape from this range so far, no one, whether it is eternal or unparalleled, even someone who can play with time between applause. None of them can be detached.

So no matter how reluctant and uncomfortable he is, he will never dare to disobey this. So he got up early, shaved his stubble in front of the mirror, took a careful shower and changed into clean clothes.

Maybe it was casual to come in, but no matter which world he left, he did so with a great deal of devotion and respect. Although it is not complicated to leave, that inexplicable sense of ritual has become a habit.

Returning to the mountains where Siyuan was on an empty stomach, he found that his father seemed to be doing something similar, a simple ritual to show respect for a world.

He fixed the small objects he had carved these days on a shelf, and watched them slowly sink into the water, dressed in clean clothes, and their messy hair and beard were neatly trimmed, not pretty, but very heroic. The melancholy temperament on his body makes him seem very lonely, but it is so intimate.

"Coming back?"

Siyuan didn't look back, turned his back to Xiao Xiaoqi and whispered, "Get ready, we're going to go to the ocean." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi's heart tightened for no reason when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just nodded silently, this day was clearly ready, but when it came, it was still uncomfortable to open his mouth.

"Actually, I'm the kind of dad who can get along with his son. Right. Siyuan suddenly turned around and patted his son's shoulder with a smile: "Go back this time." I will give you back a full childhood. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then tears came out of his eyes, and he slowly knelt in front of Siyuan and kowtowed three times: "Xie Huang Ama ......"

"If you're in a bad mood, don't play tricks." Siyuan hooked his fingers towards Xiao Xiaoqi, and then took the lead in entering the gathering array, and then began to inject spiritual power: "We'll see you in the future." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Xiaoqi bit his lip and began to adjust the coordinates. But still a choked voice came out of his throat: "Dad, we'll see you in the future." ”

"It's such a big person, what's the matter with a crying nose?"

Siyuan shook his head, wiped away Xiao Xiaoqi's tears with his sleeve, then lit a cigarette and handed it to Xiao Xiaoqi: "Try it?" ”

Xiao Xiaoqi thought about it. took my father's cigarette, and then suddenly laughed: "Did you also take the cigarette from my grandfather back then?" ”

"yes, I almost cried when my dad handed me cigarettes at a Chinese New Year dinner table." Siyuan raised his head: "From then on, I felt that I was considered an adult by my father. ”

Xiao Xiaoqi sniffled and said with a smile: "Then we will see you in the future." ”

"It won't be long."

The formation was activated, and the external magic circle was operated by Kui Long, and a huge amount of energy was empowered, and this could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away, as if it were a substantial energy fluctuation. All the members of the special case team here have set up layers of vigilance, including Chen Ming, who is wearing goggles with his head tilted his head and looking at the energy gathering place dozens of kilometers away from him.

After the energy reached a certain level, the world singularity began to kick in, and a circular black hole appeared in Siyuan's location. He had experienced this scene before, and it was like this when he came out of Sanniang, and he remembered it very clearly.

At the same time, he also knew that after entering the singularity, the two worlds would be completely separated, and inside it was a zone of almost complete vacuum, which could not be seen or heard.

"Take care."

Siyuan said the last word to Xiao Xiaoqi before entering, and then walked in without hesitation, Xiao Xiaoqi didn't know what he thought in his heart, but it was basically certain that he was not comfortable, the two people who were connected by blood were both father and son and friends or partners in this month, and the tacit understanding seemed to be that they had been partners for decades, and the current separation would definitely not be as easy as it seemed on the surface.

However, the birth and death of the singularity are very short, and Xiao Xiaoqi has no time to do more ideas, so he buttoned the wind and discipline button on the collar coat and lowered his head and got in.

After they entered, the singularity collapsed, and everything that belonged to them disappeared as if they had never existed, leaving only one person......

"Where am I?"

The person who was left behind was none other than Siyuan himself, but now he no longer has that kind of loneliness and recklessness in his eyes, just like an ordinary young man, with a temperament and eyes commensurate with his age, and he can't see anything wrong at all.

After the singularity disappeared, the people from the special case team galloped over, and after seeing Siyuan sitting on the ground and feeling weak, Chen Ming looked at the old man next to him: "What does this mean?" ”

"Equivalent exchange, if there is a gram of something left, there will be a gram of something left." The old man's face was dark: "Okay." Take him back and then this is the end of it. ”

In fact, Siyuan's departure, except for Siyuan, who should exist in this world itself, all other traces of him have been erased, and those traces, those memories, no longer have his imprint.

From top to bottom, everything has returned to the way it was before Siyuan came here. The world seems to have pressed the replay button, but the time of this month cannot be retraced, most people are unaware of this change, and only the highly classified documents of the task force record the events of this month, and call it the Lost Month.

Of course, as for the question of an extra month...... This is a good solution, it would be good if there was a leap month this year, and the summer came earlier than usual, and no one would care.

"Remember. The next time there's a leap month, you're going to have to dig through the classified records, maybe something like that. ”

Chen Ming nodded: "Although it's quite esoteric, I remember that those people won't have problems, right?" ”

"No problem, because no one will know if you say it, let alone believe it."

Chen Ming shrugged his shoulders, helped Qi Siyuan, who had been paralyzed, out of the forest, and said to him, "You are sleepwalking." I crossed two thousand kilometers by train. ”

"You're stupid to me?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Chen Ming pursed his lips and smiled: "That's right." Interested in considering joining the Special Task Force? ”

"What is a special task force?"

"You don't know until you come in, but the treatment is great, five insurances and one housing fund, including the allocation of housing, the introduction of girlfriends, the car when you go out, the business trip and the subsidy, and enjoy the treatment of civil servants. The salary package is also very high. ”

Siyuan blinked: "Really? ”

"Of course, think about it."

Perhaps no matter where it is, what has happened will be like a spiraling line, and any point on the line will be infinitely similar to the previous point.

But these are no longer things that Siyuan himself can understand and master, and at this moment he has passed through the singularity. In the recovery period. All he could know was that he was lying on a sandy beach with tall cacti around him.

"Where am I?"

He tried to sit up, but found that his strength had been drained and it would take him several hours to recover, but one thing he knew for sure was that this place was definitely not the place where he detonated, that place...... I'm afraid it's been bombed now, and although this place is a little desolate, it's a normal place in the end.

The presence of a cactus probably means that it is still in the desert, but in which desert is this?

No hurry, really no hurry. Siyuan was not in a hurry at all, after such a period of time, he completely let go of some things. Siyuan, who had nothing to do, just lay on the hot next door, basking in the scorching sun, but this temperature didn't seem to cause him any harm, but made him quite stable, because he smelled a familiar smell, the smell of his own world.

Maybe the first thing now should be to go home and spend time with my wife and children, of course...... There are also two unborn children. Well? Born no? Siyuan wasn't sure, he didn't know how much time had fluctuated here, if it was more than two months, he would probably have three babies now.

Just as he was enjoying a moment of tranquility, a tattered pickup truck stopped beside him and walked a fat man in blue denim suspenders from above, he glanced at Siyuan, then bent down and probed Siyuan's snort with his hand, and after finding that he was still alive, he pulled out a rubber tube from the pickup truck and stuffed it into Siyuan's mouth.

Then a stream of rotten water flowed into his mouth, and before he could start spitting out, the fat man dropped a kettle and a marked map and some compressed biscuits and got into the car again.

When he was almost gone, Siyuan lay there and picked up the tattered map, which was clearly the border map between the United States and Mexico......

"Accidentally came to Great America?"

Siyuan remembered that he had read an introduction in a magazine that said that there was a man on the U.S.-Mexico border who had been delivering water and food to those smugglers, and she didn't believe it at first, but today she finally saw it with her own eyes......

Although the smell of that water is very bad, you must know that the water in the desert is the nectar that is hard to find in the world, if Siyuan is really a stowaway who fell on the side of the road due to dehydration, I am afraid that a mouthful of water is enough to save his life.

Picking up the tattered kettle and dry food beside him, Siyuan could barely stand up with the stones on the ground, and the consumption of the entity crossing was actually deducted according to the proportional physical strength points, no matter how awesome the person was, ninety-nine percent of them were deducted, and then sat back and waited for a reply......

As for water and dry food, Siyuan really didn't think there was any need, but he also knew how precious these things were in this place, so although it was very cumbersome, he already carried them in his hands.

"The ability is banned." After Siyuan almost recovered his physical strength, he found that part of his ability seemed to be disabled, and this problem was probably one of the costs of shuttling back and forth between the two worlds, but he didn't know how long it would take to fully recover, so the top priority was to contact the people in the country.

Of course, it would be difficult to be in such a barren place, so the first thing he had to do was to leave this ghost place and run to a place where there were people.

It was getting dark quickly, and people like Siyuan, who were invincible, didn't care about the night and the cold at all, and walked slowly along the markings of the map all the way, anyway, if you have a map, you are not afraid to take a fork in the road, as for the ability...... What can I do if I don't disappear, and what can I do if I can come back?

Even vaguely, he has an urge not to want the ability to come back, and walking slowly on two legs is actually a good choice, after all, all these years of trotting along the way has made him miss countless beautiful scenery around him.

The night on the Gobi Desert, if there were no death threats, was actually beautiful. There are very different scenery and creatures than those comfortable places, and there are also completely different magnificent landscapes.

In the past, Siyuan hadn't seen such a scene, but he was busy on the road, and rarely had the patience to watch it so carefully.

Along the way, he was bitten by a cobra more than 20 times, and stung by an unknown scorpion more than a dozen times, but he didn't mind, and sometimes when he thought of his future son's face and his current son's face, he always laughed out loud inadvertently, as if he was crazy.

When the dawn came and went, and the sun hung high in the sky, he finally saw the traces of human activity, and the first thing he did was not to call back, but to go headlong into a restaurant in this border town, and exchange the price of washing dishes for a hot lunch that a normal person should eat.

This made him very satisfied.

"I want to ......" When Siyuan sat in the back kitchen and washed the dishes with a Mexican cylindrical aunt, he suddenly said, "I know what I should do in the future." ”

As for that aunt? She just rolled her eyes at Siyuan, and that's it. (To be continued.) )
