Chapter 36: A Key
Luke's eyes were fixed on the orb on the table, it looked no bigger than a ping-pong ball, but it was intricately crafted. The orb is pale golden in color, with subtle faint light flickering on the surface, making the orb appear as if it was breathing.
Out of an abundance of caution, Luke didn't dare to touch it immediately.
"What the hell is this?" Luke looked up at Franklin, who was sitting across from him.
Franklin spread his hands outstretched, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry, boss, I don't know what it is." The boss said to let you open it yourself. ”
When Luke heard this, he sat there and hesitated for a while, and continued to stare at the ball left and right for a long time with a strong desire to survive, and said in his heart, there should be no danger, right? You don't want to take something dangerous to pit yourself.
Xiaofu was bragging to the braised egg at this time, and the little short hand gestured: "I once saw a turtle, it has this ...... How big! ”
Luke finally mustered up his hand and tried to touch the ball lightly.
Suddenly, the surface of the ball shook violently without warning, and suddenly a strong golden glow bloomed, instantly enveloping his whole person, and the next moment, Luke felt that his whole person was being dragged into the ball.
Luke was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, he realized that the scene around him had already changed, and as far as he could see, he came to a white and empty space.
"What is this place......" Luke wondered, his preoccupation ready to deal with possible danger, when the scene around him changed abruptly again.
Luke was immediately stunned.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in an outdoor environment, surrounded by a green playground.
Luke was stunned because he recognized the playground at a glance, and it turned out to be the school where he was a student.
"What's going on? Hallucination? Luke's eyes were full of surprise. He looked around and saw that the playground was boiling, as if it was recess time. The familiar faces turned out to be his original classmates.
Just as Luke began to wonder if he was dreaming, if he was caught in some kind of dream, a man walked towards him.
At the same time, an incomparably terrifying coercion emanated from this man! Immediately, Luke's face changed slightly. However, neither the image nor the familiar aura of this man made Luke feel even a trace of fear in his heart.
Because this person is himself.
The students on the surrounding playground didn't seem to feel the pressure at all, the boys were sweating like rain playing ball, and the girls were chattering together, only the "self" in front of him, who looked exactly like himself and wore the school uniform at that time, walked slowly in front of him, with a familiar smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them to you slowly." Luke said with a smile on the other side.
Luke asked with a look of surprise, "Are you ......?"
He was still a little unsure.
"That's right, I'm you 10,000 years from now, from another world. The world that has been destroyed. Luke Future, as he calls it, said with a slight smile.
The terrifying coercion on Luke's future body gradually subsided at this time.
Luke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. This terrifying coercion was even more majestic than the last time he saw Gu Yi, and the coercion emanating from Gu Yi's body.
If the last time he faced the Ancient One, the Ancient One made him feel like a bottomless and boundless sea, then at this moment, the future of Luke in front of him made Luke feel as if he was facing a vast universe, which could not be described in exact words......
"Is this my strength in 10,000 years......" Luke's heart couldn't help but stir up turbulent waves.
The two Lukes face each other, looking at each other like in a mirror. It seemed like no one could see the students around. This place makes Luke feel that this place is neither like a fantasy, but most of it is real, but there is some distortion. It's hard to say what kind of state this space is.
After a while, I heard two Lukes say at the same time: "Well, sure enough, I'm the most handsome." ”
Both Lukes laughed at the same time.
"Why are you here?" Luke asked in surprise.
"Xiaofu told you?" Luke asked rhetorically.
"Basically...... I already know pretty much that. But I have more questions in my mind. Luke said with a frown.
Luke nodded expectedly: "I'm communicating with you across the plane. To put it simply, I'm still in another world, and the time is 10,000 years from now, well, it's not exact, because I don't have a concept of time here. ”
"I've heard it all......"
"Don't worry, what we're doing now is to make sure that the same ending doesn't happen in the universe you're in."
"I just need to learn the Pocket Universe?" Luke asked.
Luke Future shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Creating 13 universes and carrying them to myself is something I can't do now. You need not only the method, but also the corresponding strength. ”
"You can't even do it in 10,000 years?" Luke's eyes widened in surprise. Although I knew that this would be difficult, but this difficulty is too exaggerated, right?
Luke Future rolled his eyes and said, "That's carrying 13 universes, not 13 cabbages." ”
"So what the hell am I supposed to do?" Luke asked blankly.
"Nonsense, of course, is to improve the strength until it meets the requirements. I now have to admit that I was such an idiot back then......" Luke said helplessly.
"Hey, did you say that about yourself?" Luke said shamefully: "But, since even you can't do it, even if I improve my strength, can I still surpass you in 10,000 years?" ”
"So, I entrusted Xiaofu to send this thing to you this time." Luke Mirai suddenly smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand in front of him and swiped it sideways, and the delicate golden ball floated quietly between the two.
Without waiting for Luke to ask, Luke Future preemptively said, "When you see Herder in the future, don't take this thing out." ”
"Why?" Luke was surprised.
"I took the sheep from Herder."
“……”
"Well, I think you'd be curious to know what the hell this is, it's a key." Luke Future said.
"Key?!" Luke's surprise was palpable.
He never expected this kind of answer. He was surprised and asked, "What is the key?" ”
"The key to unlocking the true functionality of the DNF system." Luke's future is colorful.
Luke's mouth was open, already a little confused.
What does the DNF system really do? Isn't what I used before really functioning?
