Chapter 293: Time Converter
"Taxi!"
Hanging up the call with the rabbit, Wang Xu took a taxi and went straight to Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
When it comes to Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, many people may not know it, but when it comes to the Empire State Building towering here, few people don't know.
Wang Xu's purpose of coming here is, of course, not the same as tourists, wanting to take the elevator up and look down on the whole of New York.
He came to Fifth Avenue for a humble appliance store on Fifth Avenue.
"New Era Electrical Appliance Shop!"
Wang Xu stood outside the electrical appliance store with a slight smile on his face.
It's a humble electrical appliance company that deals in televisions, washing machines, VD machines, speakers, and pirated CDs.
But in this appliance shop, there is one unique thing, and that is the time converter.
Men in Black 3, the intergalactic murderer Boris, nicknamed the Beast, escaped from the heavy prison on the moon, snatched the time turner, and traveled back in time to kill Agent K, who arrested him, before he was arrested, thus causing chaos in time and space.
Now it's the Man in Black, and the plot of reversing time has not yet appeared, and except for Boris, who is imprisoned on the moon, only two people know that there is a time turner on Earth.
These two people, one is the owner of the time turner, the star thief Jeffrey, and the other is Jeffrey's son Dali.
Needless to say, Boris is also being held in a lunar prison.
Jeffrey was also imprisoned for theft again due to an occupational disease, and worked as a cellmate for Boris in prison.
For now, the only person who knows about the time turner is Geoffrey's son.
Wang Xu's request is very simple, find this person, take the time turner, and add a heavyweight hole card to himself.
"Welcome, take whatever you want, come to me in a moment to settle the bill." Wang Xu pushed the door and walked in, and saw a fat house playing games, this person was Jeffrey's son Dali.
Dali looked to be in his twenties, holding a controller, playing a game called Metal Slug, and didn't even raise his head at Wang Xu's arrival.
Wang Xu didn't speak, walked to his side, and looked at the game screen.
Dali has a talent for playing games, controlling the villains in the picture, killing all sides on the battlefield, and not even dying once after passing a few levels.
Half an hour later, Dali felt that Wang Xu was still looking at him, pressed the pause button, and said, "Do you want to play together?" ”
"Okay!" Wang Xu took the controller and watched Dali change the game mode to a two-player mode.
The duo starts with a small town with countless enemy soldiers, and killing enemies can lead to a burst of weapons and equipment.
Wang Xu's skills are far worse than Dali, kneeling four times in three minutes, and even if he picks up a good gun, he hangs up in minutes.
finally saw BSS, Wang Xu was just a target, and the damage output was negligible, causing Dali to sigh again and again.
"You probably haven't played this game before, but it doesn't matter, we can start all over again, and after you get acquainted with it a few more times, you'll know when and where and where enemies will appear." Wang Xu knelt down several times in a row, and after there was no chance of resurrection, Dali restarted the game.
Wang Xu nodded lightly, looked at the restarted game screen, and asked: "The game can be restarted, and time can be reclocked to the starting point again and again, is life okay?" ”
"Of course not, you're thinking too much!" Dalí pressed the start button and re-entered the game.
Wang Xu put down the handle, looked at Dali, who was killing the character, and whispered: "I think it's okay"
"Uh!!"
Dalí's hand shook, and the character in the game died on the spot, and this was the first time he hung up.
But compared to the game, he cared more about Wang Xu's origin, and looked up and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I come, and I won't come back empty-handed."
Wang Xu gently stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Dali, if you give me the time converter, I will be very happy." ”
Dalí was silent for a moment and asked, "What if I don't agree?" ”
"Then I'll be unhappy, I'm not happy, you'll be unhappy, and I'm sure you'll want to be happy, not unhappy." Wang Xu was still laughing, but his smile was a little cold.
The time turner, this is the treasure he wants to obtain, and he doesn't mind using some extraordinary means to get it.
Not to mention that it is Dali who stands in the way, not even K, no one can affect his determination.
"Okay, I'll go get it for you, we have a very pleasant relationship, how could I refuse!" Dali smiled reluctantly, got up and walked towards the counter.
Soon, under the counter, Dali took out a silver box and asked cautiously, "If I give it to you, you won't hurt me, right?" ”
"Of course not, I'm not a murderer, I just need to erase your memory."
As Wang Xu gave an affirmative answer, Dali breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the box in his hand.
Wang Xu opened the box and saw that inside was a palm-sized thing that looked like a clock.
On this thing, there are numbers representing the year and month, and there are buttons representing control.
From the outside, you would love to associate this thing with a space-time converter, but in fact it's a space-time converter.
"This thing was stolen by my father from a museum, from the lost civilization of Agras. It is said that the Agras civilization is very powerful, and other civilizations are not regarded as companions at all, just as humans treat monkeys in their eyes. One day, the Agras civilization suddenly vanished, and everything about them disappeared from the books and memories as if it had been erased.
This existence and disappearance are immeasurable, until by chance, someone discovered a special ruin, and it was rediscovered that in this universe, there was a civilization called Agras. And the Agras civilization leaves us with a clue to this time turner, and a warning. ”
Dali pointed to the box and said softly, "When you turn back time, it means that the shield is gone, and you have sent the signal for the expedition. The past, the present, the future, all civilizations that are looking forward to the expedition and preparing for the expedition will receive your signal, and they will snipe you desperately, because there is only one transcendent. Sorry latecomers, the time turner, is our greatest treasure, we can't bear to be forgotten, forgive our selfishness, this is the only thing that can prove that we ever existed. ”
"Shields, expeditions, detachments, what does that mean?" Wang Xu stroked the time turner, not understanding what it meant at all.
Dalí shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know what this sentence meant, shook his head and said, "No one knows, my father used it, went back in time to save my mother who should have died, and nothing strange happened, maybe it's just a trick, just like the curse of the Pharaoh." If you believe in the pharaoh's curse, then use it carefully, and if you don't believe it, try it. ”
Wang Xu put the time turner back into the box, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I believe"
Wang Xu couldn't help but believe it, he had heard Poseidon's whispers in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, which made him understand that gods really exist, the difference is whether you have contact with it or not.
Poseidon is all real, how can the curse of the pharaoh be fake.
The warning left by the Agras civilization must have some meaning, and it is not as simple as bluffing.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately left behind the ruins and this thing when the entire civilization was erased, and it was never for fun.
"That's all I know, it's up to you to use this thing or not. It's just that I think that in the absence of a choice, reversing time is also a way out, after all, the worst outcome is death, maybe you can be like my father, and nothing will happen after using it. Dalí didn't really believe the warnings about the time-turner, because his father had used this thing, and nothing bad had happened.
Wang Xu smiled noncommittally, just like Dali said, in the absence of a choice, reversing time is also an option.
Getting the time turner is equivalent to having one more hole card, and he won't use this thing casually, and if he uses it, it means that the situation is out of control, to the point where he dies if he doesn't use it.
"Thank you for your cooperation, we have one last link to do!"
Wang Xu put on his sunglasses, took out the amnestic, set the time to an hour ago, and pressed the button on Dali.
A burst of red light flashed, and Dali's eyes showed a blank look.
Wang Xu took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket, and said, "An hour ago, you tried to use the time turner, but you found that the thing was broken, so you smashed it in a fit of anger and threw it to a sanitation worker who collected garbage. The rest of the game is you've been playing the game, having a lot of fun, repeating it over and over again. ”
After saying this, Wang Xu took the time turner and left.
Half a minute later, the blankness in Dalí's eyes dissipated, and he picked up the controller and started playing the game again, as if nothing had happened.
It's just that in his memory, the time turner no longer exists, and the thing was smashed to pieces by him with a sledgehammer and thrown to a sanitation worker in yellow clothes.
