Chapter 405: Protagonist Aura
Su Hang was surprised to find that he couldn't tear time apart, because time had been completely frozen. When he tried to tear apart, it felt as if he was trying to pull a mountain, and he rushed out of the villa in a panic, but time stood still not only in their villa, but even outside the villa, the time in the entire community stood still.
However, the abilities of the Sands of Time and the Time Flow were fortunately still usable, so Su Hang jumped to other areas to take a look. However, let alone this community, time stands still all over the world.
He'd only seen this happen once, and that was the time stillness that the god of time, Kailos, had personally tried to standstill, could it be that this was also because that guy had stopped time?
"Stinky old man, get out of here! Is this kind of prank interesting? Su Hang roared at the top of his head, but for a long time, the world was still silent, no one responded, and he was the only one left in this world.
"How so?" Su Hang frowned, losing his mind for a moment.
After jumping around the world aimlessly for hours, looking for a second person who could move, Su Hang finally calmed down, accepted the facts, and began to think.
He found out that something was wrong, it stands to reason that even if it was the still time released by Kailos himself, it shouldn't freeze the agent's time, and even if he could, what was the matter with him? Why is Ning Yu the same time agent as him, Ning Yu is controlled by the static time stream, but he is not?
Perhaps, it's because of some special phenomenon? Or maybe it was a phenomenon that he caused, so he didn't fall into a static state of time?
Su Hang couldn't figure this out, so he returned to Nanhua City, ready to take a look at the situation first.
However, the more he explored, the more scared and panicked he felt.
It seems that he is only half left in this world, whether it is Lin Xinrui, Yang Yang, Xu Ying, Sophia, Ning Yu, everyone has fallen into a standstill. If this continues
When the time of the whole world fell into chaos before, Su Hang was not worried, because even if the world was destroyed, he would not be alone, at least he could guarantee that his family and friends would survive, no matter how bad it was, at least other agents would survive, and he would not end up alone, but now
It seems that he is the only one left in this world. If he can't lift this state, he'll be the only one left in this world who is still alive, and panic and helplessness wells up at the thought of this. No one in this world can afford to be alone, whether it is an agent or an ordinary person.
I don't know how long it took, Su Hang was still wandering around the street in a daze, but at this moment, Su Hang heard a distant voice that woke him up from despair.
"Sure enough, there are still people!" Su Hang woke up and listened carefully.
The whole city was still, so it was very quiet now, and he quickly caught that sound again.
So, Su Hang followed the source of the sound, and then, he saw it on the street, a person on the street, riding a bicycle leisurely in circles, singing songs, looking leisurely and at ease.
"Watson!?" When Su Hang saw that person, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and roar, and then accelerated and rushed towards Watson, shouting angrily: "You madman! Did you do something!? Why time stands still! β
But Su Hang didn't dare to make a move in a hurry, because it was obvious that only Watson knew what was going on now, and if he rashly killed Watson, then he would really be alone, and he would never know how to get rid of this state.
Watson also seemed to be taken aback by Su Hang, and hurriedly stopped the bicycle and looked at Su Hang suspiciously: "You guy, why hasn't time stood still?" Could it be that Watson said, muttering for a while, "so you are the so-called container?" I often hear those Murphy cultists say that the substitute of the King of the Yellow Coat, is that you? β
"So, you did it!?" Su Hang roared angrily, "What the hell did you do!?" β
"Hmph, it doesn't hurt to tell you." When Watson said this, he regained his composure, continued to ride in circles in front of him, and said with a leisurely smile: "Have you ever wondered why there are so many parallel worlds? β
"Isn't it because everyone makes a different choice that a parallel world will be derived?" Su Hang frowned.
"Well, here's the problem." Watson rode his bicycle on the road like a naΓ―ve little ghost, "Who is this person who makes the choice!?" Is it because everyone makes a different choice that will lead to a different world? How complicated is the world? No, every world has a protagonist, and the world revolves around the protagonist. β
Su Hang was shocked, although he felt that it was absurd, but he vaguely felt that what Watson said was very reasonable.
"At first, you must not have asked the guy you made the contract with too much, did you?" Watson smiled leisurely and said, "Actually, those guys are very generous, as long as you ask, they will tell you anything." However, most people are only interested in the excitement of their upcoming time-stream abilities, and have no interest in the nature of this world. β
Speaking of this, Watson let out a sarcastic sneer, and then spat out: "However, even if that's the case, I think those people should have told you that they are not really the gods of time, just four-dimensional beings one dimension higher than us, right?" A creature standing in the dimension of time. β
When Watson said this, he rode to a place far away from Su Hang, and then shouted loudly: "We are basically their creations, just like our three-dimensional creatures can create two-dimensional creatures through books or paintings." In fact, the world is the same for them, just a book to flip through or a character in a game. β
"Well, in the same way, whether it's a book or a game, it has a protagonist, and the whole world revolves around him, and other people don't know that they are just a supporting character in this world, and they have a history that has been made up in their minds, playing an inconsequential role, and living as a supporting role of the protagonist." Watson said, letting go of his hands.
However, even if he didn't use his hands, he could ride leisurely for a while, but in the end, he still held the handlebar with both hands, turned around, and rode over to Su Hang's side: "So, haven't you thought about what the time hunter's mission is for?" It is said to protect the timeline, but in fact, the purpose of time hunters is to ensure that the protagonist can survive! β
Speaking of which, Watson had already come to Su Hang, pressed the brakes, and the smile on his face became hideous: "So, on the other hand, if the timeline is disrupted, if the protagonist of a world dies in an unplanned situation, if the protagonist of a book is killed, then what will happen to this world?" So what happens to the timeline? β
As he spoke, Watson looked up and looked around, "I think we already know the result." Time will stop, yes. There is no need for this world without its protagonist to exist. It's like a comic that has been cut in half, like a game where card B can't move on, it can only be frozen in this picture forever. β
"So the protagonist of this world is" Su Hang said to himself with some surprise, Watson shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, theoretically, it is impossible for ordinary people to know who the protagonist is. But there's an easy way"
Watson grinned: "The person who went back to the past and lived again must be the protagonist of the current world." Because when he went back to the past, he actually created a new parallel world at the point in time when he appeared. This means that the world he is in must unfold with him as the protagonist and center, we? β
Watson raised his hand and spun in circles as if waltzing: "We are nothing but an add-on product of the creation of this parallel world, the embodiment of his consciousness!" So what is a surrogate? Agents are those who have a certain amount of time to control and mind between the three and four dimensions! Why are we in control of time in this world? Because our consciousness is able to travel through time and space, jumping between different parallel worlds and dimensions! This is the truth of the agent of time! β
As he spoke, Watson looked at Su Hang: "Of course, if you have saved enough time flow and choose to go back to the past, a parallel world will also be derived with you as the center." It's the same thing, but you're still gone in this world, and for people who know you in this world, you're gone, gone forever, no more. That's all. β
"Novikov's principle of self-consistency," Su Hang muttered to himself, and Watson gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, the world you live in is the final outcome that has changed. Even if you go back in time, you won't change anything in this world, going back to the past is just a ridiculous hoax and just a self-comfort, the facts you want to change won't change anything at all, and the people you want to save won't be resurrected at all, all of them are hoaxes! β
By the time he said this, Watson was already roaring hysterically: "In that case, what's the point of going back in time!?" It's better to freeze time forever in the present! No one will grieve, no one will die, it will always be now. Everyone is eternal! Don't you think, such a world is better! β
"Crazy," Su Hang said through gritted teeth.
"Whatever you say, the world is already like this anyway." Watson snorted, "Time has stopped, and it will never go on. Even if you kill me, think about what to do after that. Now there are only you and me left in this world, and our state will never change, we will not grow old, we will not be hungry or sleepy. β
"No!" Su Hang roared angrily, "There must be some way, I won't be trapped in this world forever with you, a madman!" β
As he spoke, Su Hang raised his hands, and he was ready to try to tear through time and space again.
Although I felt that I was lifting a mountain that was difficult to shake, at least it was not a feeling that I could never shake, although it was difficult, but there was still hope. If he could tear apart the planes of this world, time would still move around.
In other words, time is now in a state of condensation, and if his power can break this freeze, time will still continue to move forward, although this is his guess, but it is also his only hope.
"Whew!" Su Hang roared, grabbed the time and space in front of him and tugged, he still felt like he was pulling a piece of tablecloth out from under a mountain, and he was surrounded by that sense of powerlessness.
However, Su Hang had no intention of giving up, he knew that it was impossible for him to survive in this world where there was only Watson, and it would last until "eternity". In the end, either he killed Watson and then committed suicide, or he was killed by Watson.
This despair, panic, anger and madness swept over, and strong negative emotions surrounded him, and Su Hang had decided to take a desperate gamble. At this time, a golden crack appeared from his fingertips and spread outward.
The two people at the scene were nervous, and then reacted at the same time.
Watson threw the bicycle in his hand at Su Hang, who retreated and dodged.
"It works" Su Hang's psychology was ecstatic, although it was very difficult, but it worked! As long as he tried a few more times, he would surely be able to tear through time and let this still time flow again. Well, now it's a matter of one thing
"Stinky boy, I should have killed you a long time ago." Su Hang gritted his teeth and looked at Watson in front of him and said, "I already knew that you would be a scourge like you, and you must be willing to lie down and taste your guts for the ultimate madness."
"You damned surrogate, the container of the old rulers," Watson also gritted his teeth and scolded, "Because you are an outsider, is it not within the laws of time?" It seems that the battle is doomed. β
"Hmph, yes." Su Hang snorted coldly, and the sand of time escaped, turning into time armor and surrounding him. And Watson also took out a gun from his arms, and both of them tensed their nerves.
Since the other party was armed with a gun, he naturally took the lead, and Watson did not hesitate to start attacking.
Su Airlines used the time sprint to move a certain distance laterally, without rushing to close the distance. Watson's gun has a limited capacity, and after the bullets run out, the opponent must fill it with the time rewind effect of the Sands of Time, and that is the best time.
However, at the same time as the gun was fired, Watson also raised his hand and used the time node to divert the bullets.
The next moment, Su Hang felt a burst of impact behind him, but these few shots only triggered his circular shield and did not hurt him. Su Hang cursed secretly, and used the time node to teleport himself to the position above Watson's head.
Taking advantage of the other party's loss of vision, Su Hang took advantage of the momentum of his fall to pass through an accelerated time stream and crashed towards Watson like a meteorite. Watson heard the wind coming from overhead, and used time again to sprint forward and open up the distance.
Su Hang had observed Watson's ability before, although it was an imitation of him, but it was not exactly the same, during this period of time, Watson was actually equivalent to acting in an accelerated state, but his own reflexes could not keep up with such a fast sprint.
In other words, Watson can't see anything during this movement, because if he moves too fast, everything around him will be blurred. So Watson decided the direction and distance of movement before he moved.
If you can seize the opportunity of the other party to move for a short moment
At the moment when Watson used time to sprint, Su Hang also started the lightning jump, and after quickly falling to the ground, he followed Watson's side. After Watson's time sprint was over, he immediately glanced back, but he didn't find Su Hang's position, so he naturally knew that something was wrong, and at this time Su Hang had already gone around behind him and punched him in the face.
Watson stretched out his hand and threw something on the ground, and then a time shield was erected in front of him, knocking Su Hang away. Immediately, Watson turned around, entered the time sprint state again, retreated a certain distance, and raised his gun to shoot at Su Hang.
Only then did Su Hang discover that Watson's time rush was not a product of imitating his way of moving, but an upgraded version of the lightning jump effect, which lasted for a very short time, but the interval between use was also very short, probably only lasting 0.5 seconds, but the interval between use was only less than one second. So Watson was able to keep sprinting to change positions.
However, even though the effect of this lightning jump is not weakened, it will still have no vision during the dash without the lightning reaction. Su Hang rolled sideways to dodge Watson's gunshot, and then quickly rushed towards Watson.
After coming to Watson, a golden light appeared in his eyes, and Su Hang knew that he had also turned on the lightning reaction.
Immediately, Watson borrowed the 0.5 second of his brief lightning leap, lowered his head to dodge Su Hang's fist, and then quickly stepped back, reached out and took out the second gun in his arms, and then pulled the trigger together with both guns.
Su Hang saw the muzzle of the other party's gun, and then responded in advance. Because the lightning jump is actually very disadvantageous for the agent who uses the gun, because the bullet will not accelerate, and the flight speed of the bullet in the lightning jump state is equivalent to slowing down. Therefore, in fact, Su Hang is very good at dodging the opponent's bullets in this state.
However, the two shots collided in mid-air, sending out a "ding! There was a soft sound, and then the bullet turned around in mid-air, Su Hang only felt a tingling pain in his waist, he didn't have time to check the injury, but immediately used time rewind, back to the position four seconds ago. However, with that, his lightning leap also came to an end.
"Tsk, the strength of the tyrant Caesar is nothing more than that." Watson sneered, raised the gun in his left hand, enveloped it in the golden sands of time, and began to travel back in time, apparently reloading the magazine.
Su Hang, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and took a sip, and the tingling pain in his waist made it difficult for him to move temporarily.
But Watson seized this opportunity and pointed his gun at Su Hang: "It's a pity that you don't have the halo of the protagonist"
