As the door slowly opened, a red light lit up inside the door.

The light in the door was very dim, Rui'er and I looked into the door through the red light, and we couldn't see the situation inside, and we could vaguely see a row of cabinets on the opposite wall, the door was transparent, and there seemed to be something inside.

"Let's go in and see!" I suggested to Rui'er.

"Slow", I saw Rui'er take out the short knife from behind her waist with one hand, and take out a wild fruit that she had picked on the road from her arms with the other hand, "Let's see if there is a mechanism in it first." ”

Rui'er threw the wild fruit forward, and the fruit drew a parabola in the air, fell to the ground, and then rolled into the door, and finally crashed into the cabinet and stopped.

"There shouldn't be any mechanism, so it's better to be careful." With that, he slowly walked towards the door with the short knife in hand, and I followed behind.

As soon as we stepped into the door with one foot, the red light went out, and then the whole room lit up with white light, as if it were day. This frightened us enough, Rui'er hurriedly retracted the foot that had just entered the door, flashed to the side, hid by the door, and only poked her head out, vigilantly observing the movement in the door.

I was amused by Rui'er's reaction, it seems that the ancients had never seen this thing. This is just a voice-activated light, which is generally installed in the stairwell of the community, as long as you want to move, the light will be on, and I am too familiar with it.

"It's alright, Rui'er, there's no danger here, we can go in." I walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

Rui'er turned her head to look at me, puzzled, but saw me swaggering through the door, so she had to follow in.

Since there are even voice-activated lights, this tower is definitely not of this era, and I have to think modern to re-examine this quirky tower.

The space area in the door is not large, about forty or fifty square meters, it is a small apartment, there are not many furnishings in the room, basically they are placed against the wall, it seems that the house is very empty, I approached the cabinets, looked through the glass, the cabinets are hung with clothes, different cabinets, the styles of clothes are very different, it seems to be distinguished according to the dynasty and the woman, there are Han Dynasty robes, robes, Liuxian skirts, Tang Dynasty robes, Song Dynasty shirts and some Ming and Qing Dynasty clothing, Some of the cabinets even have armor and weapons from different periods on display, and I looked at them one by one, and I felt as if I was visiting a museum.

Rui'er changed her previous mentality of being a money obsesser, and at this time, she just stood in the center of the room and looked around.

"What's this?" Rui Le patted me behind me.

I turned around and saw that Rui'er was holding something in her hand, hoping to get an answer from me.

"Guns?" I took it and looked at it carefully, the shape of this thing is indeed similar to the pistol I know, the size is larger than the pistol, the barrel, grip and trigger part are there, I grasped the bottom end turned over, I didn't see the place to load **, probably this gun does not need to be loaded, it should be more advanced than the gun I know.

"What is a gun?" Rui'er asked again.

"Well, how to say it, a gun is the same as a bow and arrow, it can kill the target at a distance, but the place where the gun can hit is farther than the bow and arrow." I'm not an expert on weapons, so I can only give you a rough idea.

"Then this thing is much better than a bow and arrow," she said, and Rui'er took the gun in her hand and took the grip to aim, "Is that how it works?" ”

I hurriedly pressed Rui'er's hand down.

"Don't aim around, what if you get hurt by mistake!"

Rui'er stuck out her tongue, stuffed the gun into her waist pocket, and asked, "How do you know about the gun?" Have you seen it? ”

I don't know how to answer, if I tell her that I have traveled back from a long, long time into the future, will she think that I have something mentally wrong, or it is better to change the subject first, "Tell you later, where did you find it?" ”

"It's on the table over there," Rui'er pointed in the direction of the other wall.

There was a table against the wall, which was large, almost as wide as the wall, and there was a row of light bars on the wall that illuminated the tabletop. I took a closer look, and the table top was smooth, part of it seemed to be made of glass, and through the table, I could see the floor directly, and there were some papers scattered on the table, and the text on them was somewhat similar to what I had seen on the back of the slate, and there was a row of shelves next to the wall, which should be used for guns, but now they were empty. I reached out and touched the glass tabletop, and suddenly, the glass surface lit up, and then on the table, a 3D image of the tower appeared, and the image also included a string of unintelligible words.

"What's this?" Rui'er exclaimed, reached out to grab the tower, and grabbed it several times, but it was empty, "Why can't you touch it?" ”

Of course, I couldn't catch 3D images, so I casually said, "I guess it's some kind of shadow puppet or something." ”

"Oh"

I don't understand the words in the video, but I think it has something to do with this tower, and if I can know the meaning of these words, maybe I will be able to know the truth about this tower.

There were no more clues at the table, and I turned to look elsewhere, and saw that in the corner of the wall, there was a staircase, and I looked up from the bottom of the staircase, which seemed to run through the entire tower.

"Rui'er, there's a staircase over there, let's go up and have a look."

Rui'er and I walked down the stairs to the second floor, and sure enough, as soon as we stepped on the floor of the second floor, the whole room lit up. I looked around, and there was nothing on the second floor, except for eight huge oval spheres on the floor, each with a pillar next to it, and some wires and hoses and things like that connected to the sphere.

"What are those eggs?" Rui asked, pointing to the orbs.

I didn't answer Rui's question, and walked straight to the ellipsoid closest to me and began to take a closer look. The surface of the ellipsoid is very smooth, I touched it with my hand, I couldn't feel any movement, there was no place on the ellipsoid to observe inside, I wanted to open it to see, but unfortunately the whole sphere was tightly fitted, and I couldn't find a place to start.

"It's called a sleeping pod, and it's a place to sleep."

"Who would want to sleep in an egg? Don't you feel bored? ”

yes, I also want to know, what kind of person sleeps in an egg.

I checked the other ellipsoids and they were all the same, so I decided to look for them on the third floor.

The stairs lead to the third floor, and it seems that these three floors are the highest floors of the tower. The room on the third floor does not have automatic lighting like the previous two floors, the walls around it are transparent, and there is a ball suspended in the air in the center of the room, and the golden light emitted by the ball spreads out through the transparent wall.

"This is the origin of the name of the Golden Ancient Building!" I sighed in my heart.

I was about to call Rui'er to go to the golden ball to see what was going on, but when I turned my head, I found that Rui'er was not beside me, I looked around anxiously, but saw Rui'er walking slowly towards the ball alone.

"Rui'er!" I yelled at her.

As if she hadn't heard, her footsteps didn't pause.

"Rui'er!" I shouted again, but Rui'er still didn't respond.

I was in a hurry, and I rushed up with an arrow and grabbed Rui'er's arm.

"Rui'er, what's wrong with you? Can't you hear me calling you? ”

Rui'er stopped and turned around slowly, I immediately saw an amazing scene, I saw Rui'er's face was dull, and her eyes actually glowed with golden light, I was so frightened that I quickly let go and took a few steps back.

"Rui'er, what's wrong with you?"

Rui'er didn't answer, but slowly turned around again, continued to walk to the golden ball, paused for a few seconds, and raised a hand to put it on it.

Suddenly, the golden ball suddenly shone brightly, and the whole room was filled with the golden light, and I hurriedly closed my eyes and raised my arm in front of me.

After a while, I secretly opened my eyes and felt that the light was not so harsh, so I lowered my arm. Looking at the golden ball, it has regained its previous brightness, but Rui'er is no longer in the same place. I hurriedly looked around, and suddenly felt someone tap me on the shoulder from behind, and I quickly turned around, only to see Rui'er standing in front of me, holding her arms in her arms and smiling on her lips.

"What's wrong? Look at your frightened look, are you worried about me? ”

Seeing that Rui'er was fine, my hanging heart also fell to the ground, and asked, "What happened to you just now?" It really scared me to death, and what's going on with that golden light? ”

Rui'er stretched out her hands, tapped me on the shoulder twice, and said, "It's a bit complicated to say, but I think with your ability to understand, you can definitely understand." After that, Rui'er gave me a very meaningful look.

"First of all, I know that you are not from this era, you have traveled from the future."

Hearing this, I was stunned and wanted to explain to Rui'er, but I saw her wave her hand at me and motioned for me to listen to her first.

"Second, I am not from this era, I also come from the future, and it is a future that is more distant than you."

My mouth has grown bigger, and I'm so surprised!

"Third, to be precise, I'm not human!"

"Ahh I couldn't help but shout.

"Hey, aren't you surprised? Not surprised? Rui'er said as she made a mischievous gesture to me.

"Not people? What is the meaning? ”

Ruier continued: "I am an integrated organic life form from the future of artificial intelligence and bionics, and my full name is Recove

In our time, human technology has surpassed the level of four-dimensional space, and time travel has become a fact, and we have always found through data monitoring that in each era, there will be time-travelers caused by time rifts, originally these time-travelers only experienced events that happened in the past, and they would not affect the flow of time itself, but until a time-traveler did something that should not be done, and almost changed the course of history! ”

"Who's so powerful?"

Rui'er gave me a blank look, and then said, "We don't record the original name of the time-traveler, but you must have learned his name after the time-traveler in history class." ”

"Who?"

"Wang Mang."

Hey, no wonder there were always people on the Internet who doubted that Wang Mang's behavior was not like that of the Han Dynasty, and it was very likely that he was a traverser, and now the truth is real.

"And then?"

"We found out that he exceeded the limit, and urgently dispatched emergency personnel to prevent the situation from developing further, although the time flow later returned to normal, but the emergency personnel were unfortunately killed on the way back through the time stream, after all, in my time, time travel was still a very dangerous thing, as a result, this incident caused public opinion to strongly resist the task of sending humans to such forced interventions, and then ** ordered the development of artificial intelligence products to replace humans on the mission, and so, I was born!"

"Oh!" It dawned on me.

"We will set up some bases in different locations in various eras, the function of the base is to produce and store R.I.O, the eggs you just saw on the second floor, are actually our production storage devices, and then wake us up before the system perceives the arrival of a traverser, and our task is to find the traverser in advance at the predetermined location calculated by the system and monitor it, once it is found that he has exceeded the limit, we have the right to take necessary actions."

"So, you're my watcher?"

"Let's just say that, but before R.I.O found the traverser, I didn't know who the traverser was, including the time and place of the traverser's arrival, and it was also predicted after the system calculated, and it was possible to make mistakes in predicting this kind of thing, such as this time, the time point predicted by the system was seriously deviated, and I was woken up nearly 70 years in advance."

It's really hard for me to imagine that this girl in front of me, who is about twenty-eight years old, is actually older than my grandmother.

"Then when did you find out that I was a traverser?"

"This story is a bit long, after I was awakened, I once went to Jiankang Mansion, which is the location of the Forbidden City where you escaped before, and I searched there for three years, and I didn't find any trace of the traverser, I wondered, whether there was a problem with the calculation results, so I returned to the base, intending to restart the body dormancy, but I didn't expect it, the system rejected my dormancy application, and kept prompting me, saying that there was no error in the calculation results, and asked me to continue to go to the predetermined location to find the traverser, I had no choice but to go to the predetermined location again, I had been looking for a long time, so before leaving, I hid the key to the base, which was the badge, just in case, and activated the base guards, which were the big bugs we killed on the mountain earlier. ”

I didn't expect that "caterpillar" to be in the same group as Rui'er, and I really felt a chill.

"If that big bug is the base guard you unleashed, then why did it attack you?"

"Mechanical insects identify friends and foes by sensing sound wave signals, when I returned to the base for the second time and planned to re-ask the system to perform prediction calculations, I happened to encounter an earthquake, the mountain near the base collapsed, and the base was buried, I was also seriously injured, the information storage unit in the body activated the self-protection mechanism, and forced hibernation, uh, you can simply understand that I lost my memory, and then I stayed in this valley, and then I was picked up by my father and brought home, and you know what happened after that. When we encountered the mechanical bug, I didn't send the correct wavelength of sound signals, so it naturally thought I was an enemy."

"So, the poem on that stone tablet, including the strange text and gossip diagram on the back, was also engraved by you? There is also the stone house of the Zhou family's old house, which you deliberately repaired according to the appearance of the exchange? ”

Rui'er shook her head and replied, "I didn't engrave the poem on the slate, do you remember when you first entered the valley, was the tablet by the river missing a piece?" That's what I broke off. ”

Breaking the stone tablet with bare hands is really a god and a man!

"I hid the key on the mountain, I wanted to find something to cover the key, and I broke the stele down casually, but the gossip diagram on the back of the slate was indeed engraved by me, in fact, the location of the base, there was indeed an ancient tomb before, but unfortunately the position of the base was too right, just to collapse the ancient tomb, the stone house of the old house of the Zhou family was placed, it may be that the previous people in order to mark the location of the ancient tomb, deliberately built like that, this clue, I also found it before, So I carved a gossip picture on the back of the slate, purely for fun, as for those words, they are all some complaints, you don't know. Speaking of this, Rui'er showed a sly smile, "Later, I built a platform with special metal materials in the place where the key was hidden, so that the mechanical insects could be stationed there, which could protect the base on the one hand, and help me watch the key on the other." ”

"No wonder the platform is so smooth, it turns out that it is really metal, why do you use metal materials to repair the platform?"

"The mechanical bug can use its own device to create a magnetic levitation effect with metal, so you can see how fast that bug runs!" Rui'er's expression was quite smug.

I gave her a blank look and asked, "Then when did you find out that I was a traverser?" ”

"To be precise, I just confirmed your identity as a traverser, generally speaking, R.I.O is to judge whether the other party is a traverser by perceiving brain waves, when we first met in the Zhou family's old house, the brainwave recognition device in my body automatically began to receive your brainwave signals, but because my information storage unit is in a dormant state, the received brainwaves cannot be compared with the data in the storage unit, so I just think you are different from others, that's all."

No wonder when we first met, Rui'er would ask me who I was, and it turned out that at that time, she had a feeling.

"Probably after being with you for a long time, the recognition device constantly receives your brainwave signals, and constantly asks for data comparison with the storage unit, causing the storage unit to start restarting, and once the storage unit starts to restart, the other receiving devices in my body will also start to start and gradually reach a normal state, the voice in my head is actually the positioning signal sent by the base, because I haven't been in contact with the base for a long time, it can't find me."

I was about to ask about the golden orb when I felt a violent shake under my feet.

"What's wrong? Is there an earthquake? I asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, get out of here, it's not safe here." With that, Rui'er grabbed my hand and rushed down the stairs.

The lights in the tower began to flicker on and off, the stairs swayed left and right, and the sound of stones hitting the tower kept coming to our ears, and we finally staggered out of the gate. Stones kept falling from the top of the cave, falling into the river, smashing up splashes, and a loud "rumbling" sound came from the upstream direction of the dark river.

"It's not good, the hole is going to collapse, what should I do?" Rui'er is worried about the earthquake, after all, she has encountered it before, and she has been so seriously injured.

I took a quick look at the other stream that flowed from the minaret, gritted my teeth and said, "Go, jump into the river." ”

As soon as we surfaced, we heard the "rumble" getting closer and closer to us, and in an instant, a huge wave hit us and swept us in.

Rui'er and I struggled desperately, trying to lift our heads out of the water to breathe, but the waves pushed us underwater again and again, and saw the waterway disappear in front of a huge cave, Rui'er and I desperately swam towards a boulder in the river, hoping to catch the stone, but unfortunately the water was too strong, and we were still washed down, and I only felt that it was dark in front of my eyes, and I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I found myself lying in the courtyard of the old house of the Zhou family, soaking wet, struggling to sit up, but found that I was weak, I turned my head to look, and found that Rui'er was also wet on the ground, with her back against the stones on the edge of the waterhole in the yard, panting uncontrollably.

"How did we get back?" I asked in a weak voice.

"From here." Rui'er pointed to the waterhole behind her, "We were washed into that hole by the water, do you remember, that hole is also part of the underground dark river, you fainted as soon as you came, I gave you a few breaths, you still didn't react, I pulled you to swim forward in the water, hoping to find a place to go ashore first, we were lucky, we didn't swim for a while, I saw a bright light overhead, so I swam towards the bright light, I didn't expect this exit, it turned out to be this waterhole." ”

"Hahaha, ahem" I laughed a few times and choked on the water in my lungs.

It was such an amazing adventure, thinking back to the fact that I had lived for more than thirty years, repeating the same life day after day, I longed for change, I longed to discover my true self, and now, I feel that the opportunity I have been waiting for for so many years has finally come.

"The more you have to be a stranger for a thousand years, Mo Lun will be a joke in this life." I think I've made my decision.
