The surroundings are strange.

On December 24th, I learned some secrets of the world from Lily of the Valley.

I kept thinking about things to make me happy, and I prayed to the 'God of Joy' for his favor.

I even thought of the scene where the sixth grade of elementary school and Koiwen played UNO in the bathtub.

The scene was very joyful, a teenager standing on the roof, trying to get closer to the heavenly realm, and then muttering words in his mouth, deliberately excites himself like a madman.

"Run, run, run!! I'm so happy! I'm so excited! I'm so happy! ”

I kept running around the edge of the roof, raising my hands as if it were some kind of religious ritual.

“……”

Lily of the valley looked at me from the sidelines, as if she had seen a mentally retarded person on the street.

"Ahhh......h

I gasped for breath and was so tired. I've been running on and off for four hours, and after six o'clock the world has returned to its normal life for a short time, and at seven o'clock it has fallen into "anomalies" again.

"Ah...... I'm so happy. ”

I was slumped on the floor, literally completely out of strength.

"If it were that simple, I would have left here a long time ago."

Lily of the valley shrugged and told me.

“…… So what else can be done. ”

The breath I exhaled turned into a white mist, fleeting.

“……”

I felt so tired that my eyelids were as heavy as a lead ball.

"I'll get some sleep first, and I'll be in the future."

I gave up the struggle and decided to go to my dream to talk to Zhou Gong first.

After that, I don't remember what Lily of the Valley said.

I quickly fell asleep.

[I had a dream, and it was a very happy dream. Sure enough, the mental suggestion was useful—but I suddenly remembered something, and it was like an initiation, and it stimulated the innermost nerves in my brain. 】

Zizi Zizi Zizi –

This feeling is no different from the feeling I had when I first encountered the "abnormal".

It's like an out-of-body soul, the nerves in the brain are unconsciously discharged, and they are constantly thinking about who they are.

[Ah, it turns out that incident is what makes me the happiest. 】

I snapped my eyes open, and that's when I realized.

The surroundings are strange.

As far as the eye can see, this place is like a heavenly palace, with clouds and fog as far as the eye can see, and the floor is emitting white smoke, like the top of a mountain in the early morning. But it didn't cool off.

I tried to take the first step, but nothing happened. But I'm pretty sure this isn't my world.

"Welcome to my world."

Suddenly, I heard a gentle female voice.

"Are you the 'God of Joy'?"

I didn't know where the sound was coming from, so I had to spin it in place.

"I am the 'God of Joy', and I have heard your call since just now."

The gentle female voice seemed to sound directly in my head, and if there was telepathy, it probably felt like this.

"What you just thought about, the 'wish' that came was the strongest. So I decided to meet you personally. ”

"Where are you...... Can you tell me? ”

I asked mercilessly, but it felt too rude, so I changed my tone.

"I'm sorry, you're far away from me, I'm not in this world right now, I can only convey information to you through my voice."

Although I would love to ask why it has only been communicated to me so far. But I was stunned and suffocated back into my stomach.

Now is not the time to fight the gods, and you should try to get as much information as you can from her.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Well, what do you want to ask me? Obviously you want to see me. ”

……

That's just as well.

["Then I'll ask straight...... Then I respectfully ask, do you have a way for me to meet the 'God of Wrath'"]

The voice in my head stopped abruptly, and it was a long time before I heard it.

"Do you actually ask this question? I really didn't expect it. I thought you were going to ask me to explain what happened to you. ”

"Of course, that's what I want to ask, but I don't know when you'll disappear, so I can only ask the most important thing first."

"Then my answer is yes, I can send you to the world that belongs to him. But that's all, I can't interfere in his world. ”

"That's enough."

I said calmly.

"Then next, I want to ask, did you put a 'curse' on me?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I've heard that gods can attach 'abilities' to humans."

"Hahaha—that silly kid from Lily of the Valley. Yes, I did put some 'abilities' on you, but these are 'abilities', not 'curses'. ”

Not only does the god go on a business trip, but he actually laughs, and this is the first time I've heard the god laugh, and when I get back to school, I can brag about what happened to my classmates.

"Is this actually 'ability'? The ability to travel to an uninhabited world at a specific time? ”

I laughed playfully, if this is a 'ability', it is really a useless ability, and it has no meaning in war.

"Not really. What happened to you is more complicated, and you are involved in a dispute between two gods. Yes, that's right, it's my dispute with the 'God of Wrath'. ”

When I heard the gods say this, I immediately focused on it, not wanting to let go of a message.

"Let me tell you a little bit of a story."

The gods said.

"Hundreds of billions of years ago, when the universe was still in chaos, our four gods often caused wars in order to compete for spheres of influence. It caused countless big bangs and destroyed countless cosmic spaces, and the cosmic pattern you see now was caused by the war at that time. ”

"Wait a minute, you said that the pattern of the universe was formed by you? Parallel worlds also exist in the universe? ”

"That's right, the parallel world is in the universe, and in the cosmic space that you humans can't observe, there are countless entrances, through which you can reach different parallel universes."

“……”

"In the end, our four gods did not distinguish the so-called victory or defeat, and a tragic war for hundreds of billions of years made us decide not to fight for territory anymore. [Therefore, based on the sphere of influence we had at the time, we signed an agreement not to directly control other 'borderlands'. So hundreds of billions of years have passed, and the development of the universe has been very slow, until recently when humans appeared on the cosmic stage. You have an incredibly intelligent mind, but you have had such a strange thing as emotions since birth. Initially, human emotions were extremely unstable, disrupting the order of multiple parallel worlds. In order to stabilize the order, we four gods have decided to manage one human emotion each. Thus the name of the god of 'joy', 'anger', 'sorrow' and 'fear' was born. But in fact, there are more than these four emotions in human beings, but we only have four gods, so we have only selected the four most important emotions of human beings. ”

……

"The 'present world' you are in is a borderland without an owner. All kinds of emotions can be freely expressed, expressed, and used by human beings. The 'modern' civilization has developed to a new level, surpassing the average of other worlds. ”

……

"There are many 'key frames' in the historical development of all worlds, and no matter which parallel world must go through those key frames, the development of 'modern' civilization has crossed many 'key frames' and advanced at an unimaginable speed."

……

"Such abnormal worlds also exist, such as the G-77 and K-450 worlds. Both worlds are possessed by the 'God of Wrath'. These two worlds were originally borderlands because they were relatively far away, but the high development of civilization attracted the attention of the gods. The God of Wrath took possession of it by some special means. ”

……

"Special means?"

I have doubts about these five words.

"The gods can give humans their own abilities."

The voice paused and continued:

"The God of Wrath has endowed some of the humans of those two worlds with great abilities, A has gained destructive powers, B has gained superhuman intelligence, and so on. By arousing their 'anger' emotions, they disturb the order of the whole world, so that the world is enveloped in 'anger' emotions. ”

……

"A handful of powerful people rule the world, and the god of wrath summons them and signs an agreement, and the god of wrath rules the world in the name of A and B, and can get a steady stream of 'wrath' power from there."

“……”

Hearing this, I remained silent.

"Therefore, the 'present world' is also targeted by the god of wrath. He put some special powers on Lianwen and me. ”

"Exactly, I don't know if the 'God of Wrath' picked it randomly or deliberately. Both of you are a little bit out of the mood for you. ”

"Yes."

I smiled.

"I added some other abilities to you to stop the wrathful god's attempts."

"Is it the ability to travel to other worlds in time?"

["No, the ability I gave you is more special, I gave you a mirrored empty world. ”】

"A mirrored empty world?"

Combined with what he said earlier, and what I had learned about parallel worlds, I probably knew what was going on with me, and it was an incredible thing.

["Could it be that you gave me the ability to save 'keyframes'? ”】

I don't know if it's a conviction, but the feeling of conviction is like a spontaneous feeling.

[That's right, albeit on a small scale.] But what you do in the 'Shadow World' will form keyframes in the 'Present World'. As for which method will be chosen to reach the keyframe, it is not certain, it is only up to the will and character of the individual. ”】

I understood what she meant, that I was the only one in this empty world now, so my actions would reflect 'reality'.

This explains a lot of things.

On the morning of December 9th, I sat in front of the door of Lianwen's house. After six o'clock, I left a keyframe in the 'present world'. This key frame is "I am at the door of Lianwen's house at six o'clock", in order to achieve this key frame, I in countless parallel worlds chose countless different ways to achieve this key frame the night before, one of which is that I went to her house to spend the night. I chose this path as a 'living person'.

"So, during the period when I encountered the 'abnormality', the people who existed in the 'present world' ......"

["That's you, but it's not you who exist in this world. It's 'your will' that appears to satisfy the keyframes you set. It can be said that it is your heart, the most authentic you. ”】

"This 'keyframe' cycle is really long."

"It's not long, you can adjust him. You can set the start and end times of the keyframes. Reading files at 6 a.m., and archiving time an hour earlier every night, that's my setting. ”

"So you did it?"

I smiled wryly, it turned out that the culprit of what had happened to me in the past ten days was this voice.

"I just wanted to see how your mood changed, and unexpectedly, you were calm. At least on the surface, it's calm. [This emotional reservation of yours can be used as a disguise, and can even deceive God.] ”】

Hearing her say this, I wondered, "How do gods observe mortals?" 】

"You can also let someone else into the 'shadow world', but then that person will disappear in the 'present world'. Keyframes are not saved. ”

She said it well, it seems that she has been prepared for a long time, and it seems that the appearance of Lily of the Valley is also arranged by the 'God of Joy'.

"I feel like I can entrust this task to you. Let you fight against the god of wrath. ”

"I don't think I have that ability."

I know what I'm capable of, and I'm not the kind of person who can save the world.

"I know that too, but I mean I want to use you as a hole card. I'll hand over the task to someone else, you don't have to be too nervous, after all, your ability is only a small scope. To tell you the truth, I am in a very weak situation now, and the power of the God of Wrath is growing day by day, and now I am not an existence of the same magnitude. It's not time for me to confront him right now. ”

["Hole cards......? ”】

[I seem to understand what he means a little.] 】

"I know what you want me to do, but I think it's worse. ”】

[Yes, it's a terrible thing. As she just said, I am involved in a dispute between two gods, which means that the god of wrath has also added something to me. So what she meant was obvious......]

"I see. I accept your assignment. Now, let me go and meet Lianwen. ”】

"If you say that little girl, you can go and see her yourself. - She is in the 'present world'. ”

I didn't realize at this time that this dispute might be far from that simple.
