After a moment of silence, the voice of the cone sounded: "We're still in Qingtang Star now, right?" What do we do next, can we still cross over? I don't want to stay in this damn place at all! ”

Xiao Ai stopped riding the boat and replied: "It's still Qingtang Star, this space gate has a limited teleportation distance, and it can only be teleported at a fixed point on this planet." It's just weird, the timing is wrong, do you feel it? ”

We jumped off the boat next to each other and looked around, it was also a ruin, and there were traces of fire everywhere, but it was much calmer and quieter than the other side we came from, and it seemed to be quite a distance from the war-torn second district.

The sky was a little white in the distance, and the long night was finally coming to an end, and dawn was approaching. Xiao Ai felt that there was a problem with the time, but I didn't feel anything, so I should ask her.

"I don't feel it, what's the problem?"

"Remember when we first came, you saw the sunset here and thought it was the rising sun? Didn't I tell you at that time that the time direction of the world of Qingtang Star is reversed from the time direction of the earth world? ”

"Oh, yes, so now we think it's almost dawn, but it's actually getting dark? Then the time is not right, is it the reason for this space door? ”

"No, the space gate only shortens the distance by two points, and will not change the time of two points", Xiao Ai said: "The problem is that when you come here, it is also Qingtang Star, and you feel that the dawn is coming, it is really the dawn coming." ”

The more I listened, the more strange it became, "Is it because we're adapted?" Or do you mean? ”

Sweet Cone cone interjected on the side: "She's definitely not trying to tell us that we've adapted to the reverse time here, but that we're still in Qingtang Star after we passed through the space gate, and the time direction of this place is the same as the time direction of the Earth." That's what makes her feel weird, you're stupid. ”

Xiao Ai responded to the cone's words with a smile, and continued: "That's right, well, it's not that Uncle you're stupid, well, you're just a little slow to react...

How can the same planet and the same space-time world coexist in two diametrically opposed directions of time at the same time? I've calculated, it's not a matter of time difference, it's a matter of time lines, it's really different parts of the planet, in diametrically opposite directions in time.

However, I can't explain how this happened, this is absolutely impossible, Qingtang Star, what an interesting planet..."

By the end she seemed to be talking to herself, and then she seemed to be lost in thought.

I'd like to see this planet be like Earth, less interesting and more boring. However, in that boring earth, I still ran into the hunting spirit, and then came to the interesting place, haha, in the end, it was my luck.

I thought with a wry smile, and at this moment, Xiao Ai also seemed to retract her thoughts, called me and the cone, and said:

"It looks like we need to collect more clues, and the good news is that the network here is connected, and I can query more data for calls. Let me tell you another situation, we are now in the new third area that was lost earlier, and the time here, if there is no problem with the system, it is about half a day of the rotation of the Qingtang Star compared to the moment when we first arrived at the Qingtang Star. ”

"What a situation! Turn back the clock? I asked, already a little unusual.

"Well, for example, let me describe it with the date and time of the earth: for example, we came to a place in the second region of Qingtang Star at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, and tossed for a long time. Through the teleportation of the space gate, we came to a place in the new third district of Qingtang Star, and the time became about 4 o'clock in the morning on Monday. ”

Well, what kind of moth is this? "Is this the reason for the space door? I remember you just said that the space gate only cares about distance, regardless of time, so what is the reason for this? ”

"I don't know yet, it shouldn't be the problem of the space gate, the shuttle of the space door will not change time, what is the reason, I can only find it slowly."

The cone was a little anxious, and said, "Look for it slowly, have you forgotten your business?" Shouldn't the most important thing we need to do is find a space-time passage and get out of here? Do you have to find the cause of something else? It was already a desperate moment just now, and if I hadn't passed through the space door in time, I would probably be ready to serve it at this time. ”

Xiao Ai sighed and said, "Since you asked, the bad news is that when we first arrived at Qingtang Star, we were expected to wait 30 hours for a suitable space-time passage to appear. Now, we're waiting 45 hours, and the probability of returning to our starting point has dropped from 17% to 1%. ”

"Compared to that," the cone said, "I'm more concerned about the probability that we will get out of here safely, I don't ask so much now, just leave Qingtang Star alive."

If you can't travel through the planned space-time passage, then there are other suitable passages that are closer to our current time and space, in short, get out of here first. ”

I nodded in agreement: "Compared to the two old ladies, Cao sir, Su Pu, and the tens of millions of Qingtang Star civilians in the second district... We've been so lucky, after a night of tossing, we're now the ones who survive.

Probability doesn't matter, for us, the final outcome is only happening and not happening, either 100% or 0%. In order to achieve our goals, the most important premise is that we must live forever. ”

Xiao Ai looked at us and shook his head: "Needless to say, our safety situation must be the highest priority, I have already searched quickly, except for the space-time node we predicted at the beginning, there is currently no other node that can be traversed."

In other words, we can only cross and leave 45 hours later in the backyard of the two old ladies in the second district, 5th Street and 6th Lane, and after 45 hours, that place should have been disfigured beyond recognition by the cruiser's laser cannon and the explosion of the blood beetle swarm. ”

The cone said, "Then isn't the node we crossed over, aren't you an observer of that node?" When that node appears, let's go back first, it's white, but it's much safer than here. ”

Xiao Ai shook his head: "No, remember I told you that time and space travel is one-way, when we entered this world, I defined the direction from there, so we can only go from there to Qingtang Star, but we can't go back there from Qingtang Star." There's no way we're going to get ourselves back before that 'we' get here, right? ”

Speaking of this, it reminded me, and I hurriedly asked: "We are currently in the new third district, and the time is half a day ahead of the Qingtang star, so if we wait for half a day to rush to the house of the two old ladies in Mifan, the second district, we should meet with ourselves?" ”

Xiao Ai looked at me with a smile and said, "I don't recommend this, rashly meeting yourself in a different time and space is a taboo in time and space travel." We didn't meet any other 'us' when we first arrived at Qingtang Star before, right?

What's more, the direction of time between us now and us when we first came is still in the opposite direction, which is very abnormal, and we may cause the observation point to collapse and have a lasting and far-reaching impact on this space-time world, or it may be that this space-time world will erase us as bugs in order to maintain stability. ”

I exclaimed, "And this kind of operation? What kind of erasure will it be? ”

The cone said: "There are many operations you don't know, Mr. Bai said, the future is so long, it doesn't seem difficult to realize time and space travel, but why can't we always meet people in the future?" Because those who follow the rules will not reveal their identities, and those who do not follow the rules will be banished. ”

Xiao Ai nodded and said: "That's true, the universe has its laws and laws, and the development of any civilization is to discover the rules, study the rules, and find ways and means to solve problems on the basis of following the rules, rather than being above the rules."

Humanity can't do it, we can't do it, and all other forms of civilization can't do it, otherwise, they will pay the price for their non-compliance with the rules, and they will be repulsed and even destroyed. ”

"Then can we inform Cao Sir or the two old ladies of Mi Fan on the basis of abiding by the rules, maybe we can save them." I'm still a little bit unwilling.

Xiao Ai looked at me, looked more serious, and said, "Billy once told me that there is a very important rule for traveling through time and space, be humble, and don't think that you can act as a savior.

It is important to remember that you should not be dissatisfied with the outcome of what has already happened and try to change it, as it is very likely that you will not be able to change any of the fait accomplis, and you will lead yourself to destruction. ”

The cone took over, "Yes, you humans just feel too good about yourself, and you always think that you can change this and that, and you want to do everything according to your own wishes. Can you put away the arrogance in your bones, learn to be humble, and don't take ignorance for fearlessness. ”

I was choked by the two of them and had nothing to say, and then I thought about it, so far, my life was hanging with the help of Xiao Ai and the cone in turn, and if it weren't for them, I don't know how many times I would have died. Now that the situation has eased up a little, I want to do something that I can't do, whether it's a little unpredictable, well, let's try to stop them first.
