God's Messenger (Part II)
Yu Siqi didn't know who the god they were talking about, and he didn't know why he was suddenly identified as a 'messenger of God'.
But he knew very well that if it weren't for his newly acquired title, he would definitely be thrown back to reality with his performance just now.
Nodding his head and thanking the guy who opened the door for him, Yu Siqi hugged Zhang Jimin's clothes and walked in.
It is a very period building, and the interior is made entirely of heavy stones.
The ancient design style and the slightly mysterious pattern make Yu Siqi, an outsider, a little surprised.
He strode down the wide aisle, staring left and right at the murals on the walls.
As he reached the center of the hall and looked up at the top of the ten-story tower, the deep voice that had been heard before came from above.
"I don't know that the messenger of God is coming, and it is really a disappointment. I'm the chief tower keeper here, Ge Man.
Please forgive me for not being able to go down and pick you up myself, as my physical condition does not allow me to do so.
If you can, I'd like you to come to the top of the tower when you're done with your business, and I'd like to talk to you.
Oh... I almost forgot to mention that the person you're looking for is in the first room on the left side of the third floor. ”
"That's... How do I get upstairs? ”
Yu Siqi was sure that he didn't see anything like stairs anywhere around.
"The messenger is really joking. Since you have the favor of the gods, you naturally have the capital to go to the tower, don't you? ”
The guy named Ge Man really laughed for a while before he spoke.
"The capital of the tower? Do you mean that I can fly? ”
Yu Siqi tried to float into the air, and he was surprised to find that it was easier to do so than in the real world. It's as if the area is catering to his arrival.
"Hehe, the envoy really knows a little. That being the case, then I will wait for you at the top of the tower. ”
Hong Hou's voice gradually faded away, but the words he left behind made Yu Siqi realize that this person was obviously very happy, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
After all four were quiet, Yu Siqi remembered that it seemed that he should almost go to Zhang Jimin.
Following the clues provided by the voice, Yu Siqi, who rose into the air, flew to the third floor alone. As he flew to the third floor, Yu Siqi discovered that each floor of the tower consisted of countless guest rooms.
And on several occasions, when he looked into some unlocked room, he had the feeling that there were people living in it.
After coming to the third floor, Yu Siqi saw Zhang Jimin standing outside the door waiting for him almost at first sight.
As he approached, Zhang Jimin's voice came into his ears.
"Messenger of God, right? It seems like you're hiding your identity well. Otherwise, this should be added in the report provided by the institution and the House of Elders. ”
At the same time as Zhang Jimin finished speaking, Yu Siqi happened to walk in front of him.
At this time, Yu Siqi noticed that the clothes he was wearing were somewhat strange. It's a bit like taking a few strips of cloth and wrapping them around yourself.
"Why did you suddenly disappear before?"
After Yu Siqi handed over his clothes, he asked casually.
"Let's go into the house and explain it to you slowly. What do you think? ”
Zhang Jimin took half a step back and pushed the door behind him open.
When the door was completely open, Yu Siqi saw a very simple but extremely congested room layout.
The room was littered with books and notes, and the only remaining piece of space was a chic blanket. Considering that there was something similar to a pillow on top of the blanket, Yu Siqi deduced that it was most likely where Zhang Jimin slept.
"It's... Where do you usually live? ”
Yu Siqi cautiously stepped over several open books, trying not to step on them. Flying
"I know it does look like it hasn't been taken care of in a long time. But I assure you, even if I put my energy and time into tidying it up, it will only last for a few days. ”
Zhang Jimin rushed to Yu Siqi and cleaned up the books and notes that might be in the way for him.
He will be full of energy, not at all like in the Jiang family ancestral hall before, he expects others to do everything.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Yu Siqi stopped in front of a pile of books and asked Zhang Jimin, who ran in front of him to clean up.
"Okay, okay. It's all up to this, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Actually, I am a prisoner, a prisoner bound here by the Tower of Time. ”
Zhang Jimin walked in front of Yu Siqi and lowered his neckline.
Yu Siqi noticed that near his chest, there was a number 41, like some kind of number.
"But aren't you able to get out?"
Yu Siqi knew that Zhang Jimin wasn't joking with me, but he wanted to know more... Here's why.
"Yes, I was able to get out. Although there are many prisoners like me in this tower of time, none of the big guys will leave on their own initiative, even though the guards here have hardly ever controlled anyone.
Do you want to know why?
Because we have long been prisoners of this tower from the beginning.
No matter where we go, if we don't return to our room at the allotted time to go out, the tower itself will pull us back, just as you didn't see me outside the tower before. ”
After Zhang Jimin finished speaking, he came to the place where he was sleeping and motioned for Yu Siqi to sit down.
"So, you've been bound by this tower?"
Yu Siqi looked at him in disbelief.
"I was bound voluntarily. You probably didn't know that I've lived for almost a thousand years, right? In fact, if it weren't for the fragile life that this tower has kept in place, a young man like you, who is not yet thirty years old, would probably not be able to talk to me. ”
Zhang Jimin said the shocking inside story very casually.
"So, you're an 'ancient'?"
Yu Siqi asked with a surprised expression.
"I knew you'd be surprised. It seems like everyone has this look on their face when they hear me introduce myself. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to say about it. ”
Zhang Jimin crossed his feet and said.
"Is it because you're used to it?"
Yu Siqi tried to calm his mind, but the effect was not particularly ideal.
"There's that part of it in there. But fortunately, this time we are not asking you to come and discuss my mental journey, but to expand your understanding of time.
Originally, it stands to reason that you should be self-taught and self-taught when you receive God's gifts like you.
But I have found that you are indeed very talented in the use of some of your abilities. But in terms of understanding time, it is no different from ordinary people.
It's weird, isn't it? ”
Zhang Jimin pushed his chin with his hand, looked at Yu Siqi, and said.
"It's kind of weird to hear you say that. So what do we do next? ”
Yu Siqi nodded.
"Then what else can be done, we can only start from the most basic aspects."
Zhang Jimin grabbed it casually, and an old book that was pressed at the bottom of the pile flew into his hand.
After noticing Yu Siqi's gaze, he added empathetically: "Luo Lan's "Encounter with Time", I first came into contact with the knowledge of time, and it was from it. ”
