Chapter 311: Time Labyrinth
The guest at the No. 6 table of the ancient rice field is Mr. Aoi. He was alone, ostensibly staring at the menu in his hand, but in fact, he had already ordered the meal, and was just looking at the other people in the inn under the guise of looking at the menu.
Originally, Mr. A was sitting with him, but Ye Ming just saw Mr. A go upstairs.
"Excuse me, did a beautiful girl come here just now?" Ye Ming walked over and asked Mr. Aoi.
"Nope." Mr. Aoi glanced at Ye Ming coldly.
"Excuse me." Ye Ming turned around and walked to the other table and sat down. Breakfast has been eaten, the current time is 9:39, and there are 21 minutes left, Ye Ming is about to return to the inn room.
Thinking of the conversation with Qi Jianshuang and the strange plot changes in the inn, Ye Ming had two thoughts in his heart after thinking about it quickly.
Both of these ideas need Qi Jianshuang to help verify them.
But there were only 12 seconds left in his conversation with Qi Jianshuang. The witch's room is supposed to be a quest area that can be used to create a timeline, in the form of a quest to help the witch train its summons.
According to the witch, it takes an hour to go once, that is, if Ye Ming wants the timeline, he has to wait until an hour later.
Ye Ming went at 9:30, so at 10:30, Ye Ming could go to the witch's room again to play a copy to get the timeline.
In 12 seconds, Ye Ming had to clearly convey what he wanted to express to Qi Jianshuang.
"Waiter, bring me a cup of hot tea." Ye Ming shouted.
"Yes sir, please wait a moment."
When the hot tea came up, Ye Ming was drinking tea, thinking about how to communicate with Qi Jianshuang in order to verify the thoughts in his heart, and at the same time, Ye Ming was also observing this inn, not looking at people, but at the structure of the inn.
About a minute later, Ye Ming walked towards the second floor of the inn. Stepping on the stairs, Ye Ming came to the corner of the stairs, there was no one here, and the people on the first floor of the inn couldn't see Ye Ming's position at this moment, and no one came down in the direction of the second floor.
Ye Ming squatted at the corner of the stairs and looked carefully at the wall at the corner.
The walls here are made of wood, with some soft touch to the touch, and it should be fine wood. The wooden walls are carved with patterns, separated by square lattices.
Ye Ming made up his mind and turned on the information instrument to contact Qi Jianshuang.
"I'm at table No. 6 of the Gudaochang Inn, I didn't see you, you do as I say."
"Go upstairs, at the corner of the stairs that lead to the second floor, follow the direction you went upstairs, draw on the third grid on the wall on the left, and find a way to leave me a recognizable pattern, a simple circle."
"I can also draw, and I will find a way to contact you later." After quickly finishing what he was about to say, Ye Ming turned off the communication function.
This conversation lasted for a total of 9 seconds, and Ye Ming still had 3 seconds left to talk.
After saying these few words to Qi Jianshuang, Ye Ming waited at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor. He was also very nervous now, his eyes fixed on the painting in the third panel on the left wall.
Ye Ming knew that Qi Jianshuang was still in the Ancient Daochang Inn, if Qi Jianshuang did what he said, then Ye Ming could judge whether his guess was correct by Qi Jianshuang drawing circles on the wall.
Walking from table 6 to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, the normal pace is only 20 seconds. Ye Ming counted the time, and when it was the 20th second, Ye Ming looked up and down, and determined that no one came down on the second floor at this moment, and no one wanted to come up on the first floor.
He stared at the third lattice on the left wall.
There was no movement.
"Is it the second possibility in the second speculation?" Ye Ming waited for nearly another 10 seconds, but there was still no change on the third grid.
It stands to reason that Qi Jianshuang has now reached the corner of the ladder.
Without waiting, Ye Ming stretched out his hand and prepared to use his fingers to carve a circle on the painting of the third grid on the left wall.
With Ye Ming's strength, it was easy to leave a circular notch on a wooden wall with his fingers.
However, just when Ye Ming's hand was about to touch the surface of the third lattice painting, a strange scene happened, although Ye Ming had already speculated about this, but when it happened, Ye Ming was still full of excitement.
Without any foreign objects touching the surface of the third lattice painting on the left wall, a noticeable notch slowly began to appear in the upper left corner of the painting!
It starts with a point, and then starts with that point, and the notch slowly extends into an arc!
It's moving!
It's like an invisible hand carved a circle on this wall, and this circle was carved little by little in front of Ye Ming, and now it's just an arc, that is, one-third of a circle.
It's Qi Frost!
She followed Ye Ming's instructions and carved a circle on the painting in the third grid of the left wall at the corner of the first floor leading to the second floor of the Gudaochang Inn.
The point is, it happens instantly!
At the same time that Qi Jianshuang was carving a circle, Ye Ming's side, a circle also appeared in the same place! In other words, now in the position where Ye Ming is located, at the corner of the stairs, Qi Jianshuang is also here.
But neither of them saw each other.
It's the same as Qi Jianshuang saying that waiting for Ye Ming at the empty table at No. 6 of the inn, Ye Ming didn't see her at all. When this happened, Ye Ming thought of two possibilities after thinking about it.
This is the Flying Fish Labyrinth, and the Flying Fish Kun is also called the Time Flying Fish, which is a magical creature that can control the power of time.
Ye Ming's first speculation is that there is more than one Flying Fish Labyrinth here, just like the ancient Werewolf Chronicle dungeon, although everyone is a team, they are in different dungeon scenes.
The same is true of the Ancient Rice Farm Inn, the Ancient Rice Farm Inn that Ye Ming said is not the same as the Ancient Rice Farm said by Qi Jianshuang at all, or although it is the same, it is in a different space area.
Therefore, Ye Ming couldn't see Qi Jianshuang here at all.
There are 8 of them, maybe 8 people are in different space areas, but everything in the space area is the same.
This is the first speculation, but this speculation can only explain why Ye Ming couldn't see Qi Jianshuang in the Ancient Daochang Inn, but it can't explain why the plot in the inn has changed dramatically within a few minutes of Ye Ming leaving the Ancient Daochang Inn.
The old man who didn't eat greasy ordered the cream bread, and the gambler who had lost so much that he doubted his life won one night, and there was one less person in the team of 10 people, including A, B, C, D, etc.
So Ye Ming thought of the second possibility.
The second possibility is also related to time, Ye Ming and Qi Jianshuang are still not in the same spatial area, but these two spatial regions are related, and in the first speculation, different spatial regions are not connected.
Or in the first speculation, there is no time connection.
What is time connection?
That is, Qi Jianshuang may be in Ye Ming's yesterday, may be in Ye Ming's tomorrow, may be in Ye Ming's space any day, but it is not on the same day as Ye Ming!
The circle at the corner of the stairs confirms this, and it proves that Qi Jianshuang must have been in Ye Ming's past time period, otherwise, the circle she drew would not have appeared on the day Ye Ming was.
For example, Qi Jianshuang is in Ye Ming's tomorrow, then what happens tomorrow cannot change yesterday, that is, even if she draws a circle, she can't see it in her Ye Ming yesterday.
And Qi Jianshuang was yesterday in Ye Ming, or the day before yesterday, or a few days ago, then the circle she drew would affect the situation in the time area after her, and this circle would appear.
Ye Ming said that he could also draw circles, just to confirm whether he was before or after the time in the area where Qi Jianshuang was located, and the second possibility of the second speculation was that Ye Ming was before Qi Jianshuang's time area.
But now it has been proven that Ye Ming is after Qi Jianshuang.
This second speculation can also explain why after Ye Ming left the inn, the plot in the inn changed dramatically.
Because in the few days before Ye Ming, the plot changed, resulting in Ye Ming's spatial plot after the time period, which also changed.
Let's take an analogy. Qi Jianshuang was 3 days before Ye Ming, so every decision she made would affect the next plot changes, affecting her tomorrow, her day after tomorrow, and after her third day, that is, the time zone where Ye Ming is located.
This has nothing to do with Ye Ming's half-dime leaving the inn. If he stays in the inn, he will witness the plot of the inn change in an instant.
It's an extremely complex labyrinth of time.
After quickly conjecturing this conclusion, Ye Ming brushed his thoughts.
There are 8 of them who came to the Flying Fish Labyrinth, so according to the current situation of him and Qi Jianshuang, it is very likely that these 8 people in their team are all in different time periods.
If you don't count the NPCs who joined Ye Ming's team in those two dungeons for the time being, then Ye Ming will prevail, assuming that Ye Ming is the 8th day here, then the remaining 7 people may be on the first to seventh days before Ye Ming.
And every day, it's all in sync. That is to say, Ye Ming is on the 8th day, and the current time is 9:43, and the remaining 7 people are also at 9:43 in the morning.
That's where it gets more complicated.
For example, if a person on the first day does something and changes the plot direction of the original dungeon setting, then he will not only change his day, but will have unpredictable changes in the next 7 days.
The most intriguing thing is that the impact of this change on the time zone at the back of the queue is instantaneous. Because each day runs at the same time, and the person on the first day makes a change at 9:30, the impact of that change will be immediately reflected in the other 7 days.
The instantaneous change in the plot of the ancient rice field inn where Ye Ming is located is a good proof of this.
Originally, Mr. B didn't die, but he died a few minutes later, and he died a few days ago, so someone changed the plot, causing Ye Ming's plot here to change instantly.
If Ye Ming is really ranked in the time zone of the last day, then everything he does can't change the previous plot, and what kind of changes will be made in the 7 days before him to change his current plot, as far as Ye Ming is in control now, he can't know at all.
Because it's too complicated.
If Ye Ming is in the time zone of the last day of the dungeon, then the day he is on will be the key to opening the dungeon.
Of course, now this is just Ye Ming's speculation, whether it is completely correct or not needs to be further explored.
