Chapter 840: The Lost
Zhou Wen just casually mentioned this small experience in the past, but it made Yang have a very weird feeling.
"Yes, the timeline is never as simple as you think, only before and after, in fact, every time something happens, every thing has a variety of different possibilities, so after any choice is made, there will be countless results, this is like a combination, three numbers, two and two combinations There are three ways, so what about exchanging these three numbers into every detail of every moment in life? All of this is freely combined, how many time forks will it be? ”
"Every change will have a fork, and every fork will be followed by countless forks, I always say the timeline timeline, but time is never a line thing, it is more like a net, or a tree, there are countless lines on it, no one can understand the secrets of time, even me, no, I am just a cautious wanderer, many places, I never dare to set foot in many places, because I am afraid that one day I will become a madman in other timelines, It would be sad to see people pull them and beg them to take me home. ”
……
"Why can't that man find his way back?" Yang asked.
"He forgot." Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "When you have experienced a lot of similar things, after a certain extent, your memories will be confused, and you can't figure out which of so many choices is the world you really belong to, because for wanderers, the feeling of standing in different timelines is real, you can't feel any difference, everything only depends on your own memory to distinguish, and when you can no longer remember all the things you have experienced, you will be lost." ”
"In the end, you will forget where you came from, you can't even remember the exact point in time where you were originally located, because you have traveled too many points in time, and there are your footprints in any place, at this time, the lost person wants to find and authenticate, he goes to a certain point in time, and sees himself at that point in time, which proves that he is still in this time at this time, so he must go back again, but when he comes back next time, he will see that there is nothing but him in the original timeline, There is another one who has come to seek certification, this situation will continue to superimpose, and after the crazy superposition, the roamer's memory will become more and more confusing, and his footprints will fill the entire timeline, and among all the branches, he can find himself, and he will no longer know which branch he belongs to. ”
Yang was a little chilly down his spine as Zhou Wen said.
He could imagine that feeling.
It's not as simple as simply getting lost, at least even if you get lost, then you're still on land, no matter how bad you are, you're still on the earth, you're still within a limited range.
And the kind of loss that Zhou Wen refers to is a loss without boundaries.
If you can't find it, you can't find it, and your confusion will only get worse with the increasing number of time forks, and you will no longer be able to find out where you belong and where you should go, because there is yourself everywhere.
In this way, people will not go crazy, and they will not be able to talk about it.
……
Zhou Wen was right.
Time is a tree without boundaries, or a net.
Any one thing can change differently, and it will form a fork.
Formation of a shunt of time.
The informal time realm is also one type of diversion.
……
"And in the end, not all the diversions can continue, ninety-nine percent of the countless nine time diversions will eventually disappear and collapse, such as the line we are in, if you don't go back to the first battle to fill the blank battle, the timeline will eventually be annihilated, and on the time tree, most of the time diversions will eventually be annihilated, those lost wanderers can't know what is wrong with the timeline they are in now, and the moment the problem breaks out, it is the time of annihilation, He is at this time, although he does not belong here, but time is annihilated, and he naturally does not have it, this is the death of the wanderer who is finally lost, of course, there are a few who have been lost in other timelines and have been old, but it is a few, very few, more of them die with the annihilation of the timeline they are in, or because of the annihilation of the timeline to which the ontology belongs, that is, the annihilation of his hometown, and die, this kind of death will not be foreshadowed, and he himself will not feel anything, that is, it will simply disappear, there will be no consciousness, and it will be blank for a moment, leaving no trace. ”
Zhou Wen gave Yang the story of the lost.
Having said all this, his only purpose is to tell Yang that he must not lose himself.
He didn't want an extra lost madman to be in the Tree of Diverse Worlds.
But Yang didn't think about it that much.
He looked at Zhou Wen strangely, and asked a question that Zhou Wen was also a little surprised, "Then you, do you belong to this timeline?" ”
“……”
Zhou Wen fell silent.
As a wanderer, he was once warned not to wander around the timeline, plus he didn't have the ability and energy to travel through the timeline in the first place, so he has always been very careful to maintain the continuation of this timeline, and the things involving time diversion are only those short-term informal time realms, and he never dares to set foot in other real large-scale time streams, because it is equivalent to another world.
So Zhou Wen has always felt that he is very stable.
He belongs to this timeline, and has been trying to maintain the continuation of this timeline.
However, Zhou Wen was still a little stunned when Yang suddenly asked such a question.
Although he has always kept himself awake and never confused, who can guarantee that everything that happens in time is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee everything, including Zhou Wen.
Maybe one day in his sleep he made a time leap?
Maybe at some point he overlooked a fork in time?
……
"Hmm...... At least I feel like I belong here, so I want to keep the timeline going throughout, it's every roamer's responsibility to their own timeline, and it can't be shirked. ”
Zhou Wen looked at Yang very calmly and said such a sentence.
……
This is the duty of every roamer.
And the lost wanderer has only one ending, and that is annihilation.
