Just a week after the proposal, Lin Yue, who has turned 20 years old, and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.

As a result, we were blown out because everyone was ignoring one thing, which was that I wasn't old enough.

There was no way, we had to wait another year, but family life was already unfolding unconsciously.

With a lot of free time, I tried to be a fiction writer and wrote down my stories and posted them online.

Crackling on the keyboard all day long, it is inevitable that you will be trapped in the room for a long time.

In order to relieve the boredom, Lin Yue and I often go out on trips.

After going out to play a lot, Lin Yue unknowingly became a travel blogger, gradually increasing her personal income.

The days go by day by day, quiet and plain, and there will be no lack of novelty and passion.

It wasn't until the new year was approaching my birthday that another thing happened to us, Lin Yue was pregnant.

"I want this child." Lin Yue told me so.

From that day on, there were matters related to obtaining licenses and weddings, and preparations were immediately in full swing.

To tell you the truth, I still dreamed like him, and I didn't even dare to fantasize like this in my dreams.

June 1.

This was a rare day off for me and Lin Yue, and we went to the central park in the south of Yamakaze City.

While Lin Yue was chatting with a few expectant mothers in the corner of the park, I was sitting in a café, rushing to hand in the manuscript of the novel to the editor surnamed Cui.

A woman suddenly appeared in the seat across from me, "Is there anyone here?" ”

Without looking up, I replied, "Sorry, there's someone." ”

The man didn't leave, but sat down.

"I said someone......" I looked up, "is that you?" ”

This woman is the Stygian.

She smiled and greeted, "Long time no see." ”

I closed my laptop, "yes, you've been working for the country, how can you see such a little person as me." ”

Ying Yan shook her head slightly, "You are not a small person, no matter how you say it, you have also saved the world!" ”

I shushed, "Be quiet, I don't think this can be taken out to show off, and besides, I'm just so that I can live a hot life with my wife and children!" ”

Stygian ordered a cup of coffee and commented, "The more practical the purpose, the more powerful it can be stimulated. ”

I looked at Lin Yue outside the window and asked casually, "Doctor, why did you come to me today?" ”

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Please."

"It's about Epoch, and I hope you can help me debug it in action."

"Hehe," I looked back at the Stygian, "you are really a person who does not change your original intention, and in the future, you will use this kind of rhetoric to let me participate in this time trip, and now you will let me participate in it too?" ”

"So I won't hurt you, and," Stygian tried to correct me, "to be exact, I don't want you in the future, but you in the present." ”

I narrowed my eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

"What controls Shi Lei's body now is your consciousness in the future, but in this body, there should be a current Shi Lei consciousness, he is not a post-apocalyptic overlord, nor is he a big man who is galloping black and white now, just an ordinary college student."

"So what's the use of you wanting him?"

Stygian patiently explained, "I want to debug Epoch, and it wouldn't make any sense to just teleport you back into the future, and I don't think you would agree to that." ”

I nodded.

"So people like you who have already undergone consciousness crossing do not meet my requirements for test subjects, and only the past Shi Lei's consciousness can match it."

"Why?"

"Because you've proven that this technology can be practiced, but no one other than you will have such a high chance that you will hang up before the trial is halfway through."

I stared into Stygian's eyes and asked, "I wonder what kind of extent you have developed Epoch now?" ”

She thought about it for a moment before explaining to me, "You know, the first generation of Epoch has been completely destroyed with Shuichi Yamada, and the new machine I am building now is the second generation of Epoch. I can tell you that this generation of Epoch can already complete a better consciousness crossing. ”

"How do you know?"

"Because the Stygian that brought you back to the present, once returned to me through the second generation of Epoch!"

My face twitched unconsciously, "You mean you've seen the future Stygian?" ”

"Yes, so I know how much pain will be suffered when the future consciousness returns, and the original consciousness that has been suppressed inevitably and all along! This is simply a kind of inhuman captivity! ”

I didn't make a sound, as if I saw the crystal coffin in my mind, and the consciousness of the college student Shi Lei was still locked in it.

Ying Yan continued: "This kind of person who has experienced crossing and oppression, after recovering, will not have too many emotional ties to people and things, so when your people tied me back to Yutian, I didn't have any surprise. ”

Hearing this, I asked, "I want to know how Shuichi Yamada believes that I am coming back from the future." ”

Stygian replied without hesitation: "He did see the video of Wang Quanming before he died, you said it yourself, but it was I who made him believe this, and let him see Epoch's ability." ”

I asked, "So which side are you on?" ”

"I stand in the future of mankind," said Yamada righteously, "Yamada Shuichi has not exerted any Southeast Asian coercion on me at all. Waki, from the very beginning, my purpose was to reach out to future travelers, and ever since I noticed your changes, I've been helping Yamada fight against you. ”

I almost crushed the cup, "You really can say that you have caused us so much trouble, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Ying Yan did not shy away from the murderous aura in my eyes, "You won't kill me, and you can't bear the price of killing me." ”

I glanced at the cup in my hand, "I can kill with anything, the kind that doesn't leave a breath." ”

Shen Yan said: "What I want to do is to stop the crisis of this world at the root, and I will not expect ordinary people like you to understand this great cause." ”

I snorted coldly: "You don't look down on me, and at the same time you want me to cooperate with you, is this reasonable?" Lady! ”

Stygian nodded, "Very reasonable, because if you want to keep everything you have now, you have to cooperate with me." ”

"Fart ......"

"If you don't cooperate, and I cooperate with others, at that time, you don't even have a choice."
