"Boss, where are the others who came down before me?" Gu Han carefully looked at the entire library, and found that there was no one in the entire library except for this administrator and himself, where did the other people who jumped down earlier than Gu Han go.

"Don't worry, when it's time to come down, they will naturally come down!" The white-haired old man sitting in the rocking chair slowly opened his eyes and said in a slow, slow tone peculiar to the old man, "Young man, if you are not in a hurry, how about chatting with the old man?" ”

"No problem!" Gu Han nodded, even if he didn't want to chat with this old guy, he had to chat a few words, otherwise those guys who jumped down one step earlier than him might not be able to jump again.

"Young man, I see that you have a sad face, but what are the troubles and doubts, do you need the old man to solve your doubts one by one?" The old man asked.

"Nope!" Gu Han replied lightly.

"Is there really not? Don't you want to know what happened in the unpredictable time and space above that will make you end up with all your friends dissipated? Listening to the old man's words, he seemed to have a complete understanding of what was happening in the Infernal Corridor.

"No, you don't!" Gu Han smiled: "Actually, I've figured it out." ”

"Oh! With so many points in time, have you really figured it out? The old man smiled in amazement, "Then the old man listened to it." ”

"To put it simply, from my timeline, if Artoria is positioned at the time point 0 after receiving the Xiaomi MIX2 mobile phone and I am separated, then the intersection between me and Lu Qingping after meeting is at time point 1."

"Then, in a fit of rage, she met Miss Mikoto Misaka for the first time at Time-2, and at Time-4, Miss Mikoto Misaka met me once, but she didn't know much about me."

"Artoria, who was in the excessive sadness of Time-2, of course wanted to find someone to talk to, so she told Mikoto Misaka everything she saw, and then she figured out the problem of the time paradox, and recorded a video and audio with the Xiaomi MIX2 newly stolen from my dimensional pocket, and then gave this Xiaomi MIX2 to Mikoto Misaka, and told her to give this Xiaomi MIX2 to herself at the time if she met me and Artoria at the same time for the first time."

"Mikoto Misaka said that he is a person full of a sense of justice if it sounds good, and he is an overly emotional guy when he says it is unpleasant, and after hearing what happened to Artoria, he is naturally full of sympathy for Artoria, and at the same time full of disgust for me, patting his chest and agreeing to Artoria's request, and then the two separated."

"Next, at time point -1, Mikoto Misaka met Uejo Dangma for the first time, and took the opportunity to talk to Uejo Dangma alone, and told Uejo Dangma all the things about me and Artoria, and then asked Uejo Dangma to separate from me, and finally the two of us were indeed separated."

"Then during the period from time point 1 to time point 2, Artoria and Mikoto Misaka, Kamijo Danma, Sento Isuzu, and Liu Bang met, and with the help of Kamijo's ability to be hemp, five people got together and met me at time point 2, and then, a few of us jumped down."

"Or purely in terms of the timeline of events."

"After Mikoto and I met for the first time, Mikoto met Artoria again, and finally Artoria entrusted Misaka Mikoto with the Xiaomi MIX2 and what she wanted to do in the future."

"Next, Mikoto Misaka met Uejo Dangma and me, Liu Bang, and Lu Qingping, and then forced Uejo Dangma to separate from us, and later met Sento Isuzu."

"After that, Mikoto Misaka and Uejo Dangma, Chito Isuzu met me and Artoria, and gave Artoria the Xiaomi MIX2 that Artoria gave her, so that Artoria and I were separated."

"Later, Artoria saw what happened to me and Lu Qingping, so she re-recorded the video in Xiaomi MIX2 and handed it over to Misaka Mikoto, and she was separated from Misaka Mikoto again, because if she didn't separate from Misaka Mikoto, then Misaka Mikoto would never have met Artoria in the past."

"It wasn't until Mikoto Misaka handed over the Xiaomi MIX2 to her past self that Artoria reunited with Mikoto Misaka again, and at this time they also met Liu Bang, and then before they found their sixth teammate, they met me and Lu Qingping."

"That's the way it is, I should make it clear!" Gu Han divided the whole process into two different ways in one breath and recounted it.

[PS: I don't know which narrative is easier for everyone to understand, or whether both narratives can't be understood by readers. 】

——————————————

"It seems that you are indeed very smart, I am relieved of this old decay!" The old man nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Gu Han's answer.

"Can you tell me, then, how do I get out of this Infernal Corridor?" Gu Han asked.

"Absolutely! I've been waiting here for so long just to get you out! The old man sighed and said, "It's a pity that you came too late, and the old rotten bones are about to turn to ashes." ”

"Is there a time distance here?" Gu Han glanced at the small room, "I thought time was constant here, no matter when I came, it was just a matter of time for you!" ”

"You're really smart enough to guess that the timing here is constant!" For the first time, the old man showed a surprised expression on his face, "But constant is eternal, a point in time is constant, then this point in time will be fixed here forever, unless the whole world is completely destroyed, otherwise the old man will stay here forever, so whether it is the past or the future, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Wouldn't I be trapped here forever, then?" Gu Han sighed in his eyes

"Nope! Others will be trapped here forever, but you are different, you are a key, if you can unlock this place, then you can get out of here, otherwise everyone will be trapped with you in this world of constant time. The old man said.

"So I'm so important!" Gu Han nodded thoughtfully, "Then why do you still want to tell Liu Bang that he can leave here as long as he gathers six people, aren't you lying to him?" ”

"I never lied to him!" The old man said lightly, "If he doesn't live with the intention of finding six people, then how can he meet you again, and how can he bring you down." Everything in the world, every drink and peck has a fixed number, haven't you already figured this truth through? ”

"I think I figured it out, but if I want to learn and apply it, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult." Gu Han said with a sigh.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it sooner or later, this world is really boring, especially with you, this world is even more boring!" Quarreling with the old man before, Gu Han could know what the other party was talking about. But the old man's words are completely unclear, why does this world become boring without itself?

"That's it! Things will naturally be clear to you, now the old man better get your friends out, otherwise you will feel bored without them! The old man flicked the ash of his cigarette, and the small door of the library burst open, and six other figures rolled in together.

When they saw the world in front of them clearly, they found that Gu Han had arrived here one step ahead of them, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a little surprise, but thinking of the strange timeline of this world, these surprises disappeared without a trace.

"Ancestor! I've got all the people, shouldn't you show us how to get out of here! After Liu Bang saw the old man, he immediately squatted beside the old man with a flattering smile, and asked excitedly while beating the old man's legs.

"Who said everyone is together?" The old man glanced at Liu Bang lightly, "The old man told you to find six people to come over, but you brought seven people, this is one more person, who should be kicked out?" The old man can really only send six people away! ”

"This ......" Liu Bang suddenly became extremely embarrassed, Gu Han he couldn't afford to offend, but Shangtiao Dangma and these people were both prosperous and lossy, if he suggested that they leave, I am afraid that they would suggest that they kick themselves away.

"Otherwise, let's vote, whoever has the most votes, I'll send whoever back!" The old man said lightly.

"Let me go back! I don't have to leave here! Lu Qingping took the lead in debuting, and her tone was extremely firm.

"Good boy!" Looking at Lu Qingping's firm back, Gu Han praised slightly, he knew Lu Qingping's thoughts, and at the same time, Lu Qingping also knew clearly in his heart that if seven people were allowed to vote, then Shangjo Dangma and the others would undoubtedly stand together, and they would inevitably vote for Gu Han.

But the real world is in extreme danger, and Gu Han must not continue to be trapped in this Infernal Corridor, so Lu Qingping simply decided to sacrifice herself and send Gu Han away.

"Don't talk too much, let the old man continue!" Gu Han pressed Lu Qingping's shoulder, and then said, "You can't go, I won't leave you here, you are already my Gu Han's woman, and I Gu Han has never let my woman stay and suffer." ”

Gu Han's voice was not small, so this sentence clearly reached Artoria's ears, especially the sentence "You are my woman", which made Artoria's face even more difficult to see.

"Don't worry, although the voting power is in your hands, the candidates are not the seven of you, there are only four real candidates!" The old man on the side said slowly.
