Episode 42 The Present World

The time shuttle roared to a place with a black hole outside of the infinite space of the black hole.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat on the seat in the cabin, staring at the laptop computer on his lap, fumbling while manipulating the space-time capsule. Fei Fei hid pitifully to the side, leaning against the bulkhead, not daring to say a word.

Xiang Xiaoqiang fumbled for a while, his fingers swiping across the screen, as if he was choosing a suitable "landing site". After a moment, he looked up and smiled at Fei Fei:

"Alright, here's it, you jump off here!"

Fei Fei glanced back at the dark infinite space outside the cabin, her hair stood on end in fright, staring at Xiang Xiaoqiang, shaking her head desperately.

So, Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"If you are satisfied, I am satisfied, and if you are happy, I am happy. To provide you with the best quality service is our aim, so that you are happy to come, YY and go is our constant commitment. If you have any comments or suggestions on our services, please call our 24-hour free service hotline: 400...... I forgot about 400 or something...... Well, make consultations and complaints. Thank you for your patronage and have a great trip. ”

Listening to this familiar language, Fei Fei screamed, immediately understood what was going to happen next, and immediately wanted to find a place to catch it. But it was too late, and a trap opened at her feet, and with a terrible howl, Fifi waved her limbs and disappeared into the endless darkness.

……

"Puff ——!!!"

Fei Fei shed tears of grief and indignation all the way through the air, and finally fell heavily into the icy water.

However, she is not as good at swimming as Xiang Xiaoqiang. Rao is not too deep in the water, and she still struggled to float up for a long time. While drinking water, he shouted loudly and intermittently. But it was pitch black, and there was no light at all. The water in the mouth is fishy, not very clean, but it is still fresh water, not salty. Fei Fei cried and fluttered at the same time, and greeted the eight generations of Xiaoqiang's ancestors in her heart.

At this time, she had a pain in her wrist and hit something hard. Fei Fei subconsciously grabbed the thing, and finally didn't sink down. She struggled to turn, and by the moonlight she saw a small canopy boat in front of her, and a man standing at the bow of the boat, holding an oar. What he was holding on to now was the oars he had stretched out.

Fei Fei suddenly felt that she was too lucky, and she was rescued just after falling into the water. The water is so cold, and I don't know how to swim, if it takes a while, I won't survive.

She grabbed the oars, and under the man's tugging, she climbed up to the bow with great difficulty, and without any strength, she collapsed on the bow and shivered.

The man didn't ask a word, but directly lifted Fei Fei up, threw him into the cabin of the awning boat, and said:

"There's a towel and dry clothes in it, so let's change it yourself."

Fei Fei was taken aback, this voice was clearly Xiang Xiaoqiang! She couldn't care about the cold, and shouted tremblingly:

"Xiang ...... Xiang Xiaoqiang? ”

Outside smiled at Xiaoqiang:

"Nonsense, of course it's me. Otherwise, who do you think can come and save you so quickly? ”

Fei Fei gritted her teeth and trembled, she still wanted to scold, but she couldn't make a sound at the moment. She remembered telling Xiaoqiang just now that there were towels and dry clothes in the cabin, so she touched around in the dark.

There was a burst of fire outside, and he struck a match to Xiaoqiang and lit a wind lantern, and then came in and hung her in the cabin:

"Okay, it's on, you can change it."

Then he withdrew, and closed the curtain at the door of the cabin.

There were not only towels in the cabin, but also a large bath towel. Fei Fei grabbed the big bath towel, wrapped it around her body first, closed her eyes and trembled, and was still hesitating in her heart, whether to take off her clothes in a place where this person was only separated by a curtain, and then wipe her body and change her clothes. This guy is a big pervert who doesn't blink.

The voice from outside to Xiaoqiang came in:

"Okay, don't grind, hurry up and change, it's December here, it's winter, don't freeze to death." If I really want to xx you, then I will find a warm place first. ”

Fei Fei was ashamed and angry, but she thought about it, so she gritted her teeth, took off her clothes one by one with tears of humiliation, and quickly wiped the water on her body and hair with a bath towel. At this time, her lips were already blue from the cold, and she didn't care to look closely, grabbed a pile of dry clothes under her feet, and quickly put them on. It wasn't until she wrapped the last fur coat around her body that Fei Fei felt a hint of warmth.

She warmed up her fur coat for a while before she felt warm and shivered no longer. Only then did she look at the cabin, at the boat. She secretly lifted the window panel on the bulkhead and saw that it was pitch black outside, and there were a few lights faintly in the distance.

Fei Fei was about to ask Xiaoqiang for an explanation, so she picked up the curtain and also came to the bow of the boat:

"Hey, Xiang Xiaoqiang, what do you want? Where is this? ”

She said, looking around.

Xiang Xiaoqiang took a cigarette in his mouth, the cigarette butt lit up and dimmed in the dark, and he said indistinctly:

"Wai Qinhuai River."

"Qinhuai River?" Fei Fei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Oh, it's not the Yangtze River...... I thought it was the Yangtze River again. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat on the bow of the boat, opened the computer bag and carried the laptop, and said with a smile:

"See the difference, right? I'm not as over-the-top as you. The Qinhuai River is neither wide nor deep, nor does it have any torrent whirlpools...... I originally wanted to choose the inner Qinhuai River, but there are many people there, and many people know me, so I ...... Ah!!! ”

……

Fei Fei pushed him hard in the back, trying to push him into the water, but the side of the boat shook violently, screamed at Xiao Qiang, and immediately lay on the board of the boat, trying to stabilize his body, even if he was not pushed down the river by her. But when I heard a "poof", the laptop fell into the river and disappeared. All that remained on the dark surface of the river were circles of ripples.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fei Fei were both dumbfounded, staring at the place where the computer fell. Xiang Xiaoqiang hurriedly knocked his wrist on the boat, wanting to stop time, so that he could go down and fish. But after knocking it down, the ripples on the surface of the water were still spreading in circles, and the hull of the ship was still slowly shaking.

He looked back at Fei Fei, who was staring at him and then at the water. - Jumping around, not at all "frozen" look.

"What's going on, it's not going to work?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang scolded and knocked his wrist again. - But, it's still the same, and nothing has changed around it.

"What's going on?" He looked at Fei Fei and asked in surprise, "Why can't time stop?" Is it because I changed it to 'read-only' mode over there? ”

Fei Fei was also surprised, wiped her hair, and blurted out:

"Impossible! Changing to 'read-only mode' just means that it can't be managed, and it still works with a time controller in this space-time. But this is ......"

She stared at the place where the surface computer fell, her face slowly turned white, and she opened her mouth and said:

"I ...... I know...... The computer fell into the water...... The documents inside...... Whole...... It's all broken......"

"It's all broken?!" Xiang Xiaoqiang was taken aback, "What do you mean?" Make it clear! ”

Fei Fei burst into tears, and said while crying:

"That's it...... I just can't go back...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Damn, you made it clear! What do you mean you can't go back? ”

Fei Fei cried even more sadly, and said while crying, after a long time, Xiang Xiaoqiang figured out what was going on.

Because the computer is not waterproof, it is now dropped into the water, and all the files stored in it - that is, "time and space" - are equivalent to being deleted. But this "deletion" does not mean the destruction of time and space. In other words, these planes still exist objectively, but because the data, data, and information in the computers of the Space-Time Administration have been destroyed, they can no longer be found.

It's like deleting a file on the computer, but the information that makes up the file is still in the hard disk, but you can't find this information, the file disappears in the vast data, and people can no longer browse and manage it, which is equivalent to "deleting". It's just that the files in the hard disk are deleted, and you can also find a master to recover them. At this time, even the computer fell into the river, and the Time and Space Administration wanted to "recover", but there was nowhere to recover.

Xiang Xiaoqiang understood what he heard, and asked again:

"That'...... It's not just you, it's me, can't go back? ”

Fei Fei cried and said:

"As long as you don't die, you can't go back...... Woowoo...... Unless it dies on this plane, it can be automatically pulled back by the switch...... Woowoo...... I don't want to live here for decades until I die...... Woowoo woo ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang pondered her words carefully, and slowly became happy.

Damn, isn't that what he wants?
