95: Nothingness is reality
On the day when the apocalypse suddenly came, the pompous but realistic mission of "saving mankind" came to the sea of stars along with the apocalypse. However, at that time, Xinghai just felt dispensable:
"He said that there is an energy box in the center of the 'Super Sky Eye', and if it goes well, it can be used to control time and space with the chip, go back to the past, and let mankind avoid this disaster. But I just wanted to stop the bleeding for Xinghe and go to my fiancΓ©e: Bai Lu. β
At the mention of Bai Lu, Xinghai's expression was very sad. It is the despair and confusion that only people who are stuck in the past and can't see the future at the same time: "All the communication terminals are useless, and I took Xinghe to finally find a car that can barely start and rush back, and all I saw was death." Death is actually very real, there are sounds, smells, colors, and even the air at that time makes me feel that death itself. β
"When we finally go back, Bai Lu is already ...... Burned into charcoal in the explosion. Xinghai was sad and quiet when he said this, and tears fell from his ice-blue eyes one after another. He had cried too much for this a long time ago, and he had already passed the most tormenting period, so he could tell all this completely now, but the tears and sadness all proved that surviving it does not mean letting go.
To this day, those ice blue eyes are still confused: "We don't want to save the world, we just want to save Bai Lu, we want her to be like the past, and we want us to live well like in the past." If there is no apocalyptic calamity, everything can be back in place. β
"Xinghe and I returned to the mountains and found the energy box in the wreckage of the 'Super Sky Eye', which is what you call the blue box - the magnetic field catalytic converter. On the way, we met some survivors, and then we found many others, including scientists, but none of them were in astronomical space. But either way, it's always an opportunity. β
Xinghai's voice was very heavy, and then fell silent again. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the brothers' journey to salvation did not go well.
"None of you are sure about this?" Light Feather was not in a questioning tone, because the result was clearly in front of him.
Iron Rope shook his head and dropped his eyes: "If we were sure, we wouldn't be here now, and the world you live in won't appear at all." No one knew what would happen when they traveled through time and space, and they even wondered if it could really be done. For the sake of Sister Bai Lu, my brother and I are willing to gamble......"
The use of the blue box was all up to a group of laymen to guess and explore, but they were lucky, and not long after Xinghai was implanted with the chip, the blue box was successfully activated. But at that time, they were immersed in the joy of longing, and they didn't think that the time and space nodes could not be freely chosen at all.
That's right.
The so-called successful time-travel technology is simply a half-person who runs around time randomly!
Of course, Xinghai and Galaxy have also successfully returned to the pre-apocalyptic era, but they are either still in ancient times, or in the 21st century, where science and technology are still immature. People simply don't believe their words and don't understand them.
But that's not what worries them the most.
"Every time he shuttles, the radiation in the space channel will cause irreversible damage to the galaxy, he begins to accelerate aging, and his temper becomes more and more irritable......" Xinghai paused, looked at his hands, and his eyebrows were full of pain and guilt: "I ......"
"I don't know why this is happening, why only I seem to be fine, why is it only Xinghe who ......"
"Brother, don't say it, I don't blame you." The iron rope interrupted the sea of stars, and it looked like he was relieved. Of course, he had his anger, but so what? Reality is reality precisely because we have to accept and face it.
Now the only reason for the brothers to continue to persevere is to change the end of that day. It's the only way to get everyone back to where they were.
ββ¦β¦ So you know me and Gu Nanyi, and you know everything about alders, because you have been here many times before? Qing Yu still felt a little unbelievable, and wondered what they had seen in the current era, whether there would be an end in this last world, and whether mankind would be able to regain its former glory.
However, Xinghai could not provide a valid answer: "The time and place of each shuttle are different, we have been here many times, but not every time is clear. Sometimes they come and leave right away. β
"And you're wrong, it's not that we know you, it's me." Xinghai looked at Qingyu, silence and mystery written in his ice blue eyes, "Xinghe and I should have been here a few times, but only twice did we really know Xing Yu and stayed for a long time." Once, it should have been more than ten years ago, government researchers discovered the mutant mandala here, and after that...... It seems that within a few years, the government organized a large-scale exploration of the camp by prisoners in the camp, but in the end none of the prisoners made it out alive. Now it seems that they should have been killed by the government......"
"You were here too? Did you see something, was it the inside story of the events of that year? Gu Nanyi was extremely rarely excited, it turned out that people like him would also have such excitement. Reading.com
But Xinghai disappointed him.
They have traveled many times in these last days, and when they see the state of the alders, they know that it is not the era they want to reach. They don't belong here, and then leave like outsiders, so they are familiar with the terrain of the alders. Coming here again, it's already after several shuttles:
"Would you believe me if I said that I had seen a scene similar to today's?" Xinghai seemed to be talking about a real and illusory dream, a past that existed but has been rewritten, "That time I came here, I was separated when Xinghe landed, I was alone, with a blue box, and then just outside this well, in the valley full of corpses, I met you - Qingyu, Gu Nanyi. β
Xinghai's words were breathtaking, and although it was hard to believe, it was impossible to doubt.
"At that time, you were also looking for something, and the situation was similar to now, except that you were not looking for a blue box, but a mutant mandala. And I still fell from the sky. At that time, I also told you where I came from. Gu Nanyi, you also asked me the same thing, and asked me if I knew the inside story of the government's exploration action more than ten years ago. But there were other people at that time, who were members of your research team. A few of them are chasing you, and I'm afraid of trouble, so I'll slip away from the chaos. It was also on that occasion that I asked you about the years, months and days, and you probably know the numbers I left under the pyramid. β
"Then I found Galaxy and we started our journey again. After that, one after another, in the teahouse or on the street, I heard about you Gu Nanyi, and I remembered it because I had an impression. As for Light Feather, goodbye was in the Special Intelligence Department a few months ago. β
Speaking of this, Xinghai sneered shallowly, as if satirizing the past that can be easily changed: "You should understand my words." You have come to the alder before, that is to say, this matter is inevitable in time and space, but because of our appearance, it has changed. β
The last three words were heavy, and Gu Nanyi and Qing Yu's hearts were tight:
"You mean, we didn't know what a blue box was before, and we didn't come here for it at all?" Gu Nanyi had some clues, but it was too unbelievable - the blue box was obviously such a real existence, but now he was told that it was all because of two people who didn't belong to this time and space.
Light Feather also felt ridiculous.
Tie Rope was a little impatient, because every time he explained to someone about time travel and the butterfly effect, it was very cumbersome: "You know about the blue box now, or so many people know about the blue box, it's all because of me." β
Xinghai tilted his head and looked, a little incomprehensible to his brother's words.
"Brother, in fact, you just said wrong, we have not been to the alder twice, but three times." Iron Rope lowered his tone, and his devilish face was actually lamented, "To be exact, I came three times. β
"This time, we have been in this era for too long." Tie Suo's words woke up the sea of stars, but Gu Nanyi and Qing Yu were even more misty.
Iron Rope seemed to give up his temper, sighed heavily, and patiently continued to explain: "How many times we have gone back and forth in the space-time tunnel, we ourselves have lost count. I just feel like it's been circulating, and I don't even remember how much time has passed. Maybe we've been coming and going like this for years, or maybe it's been less than a year. But none of that matters. Time and life, which are most important to humanity, have become meaningless to us. β
Speaking of these, the iron rope is like an old man with vicissitudes of life, as if tens of thousands of years have passed, as if the soul of a person has withered. He said that when they crossed this time, they encountered a solar storm, and the space-time tunnel was like a major earthquake, and the blue box was accidentally lost in the chaos and turmoil, and the two were scattered at the exit.
The Rope fell alone to the ruins of the alder, right at the moonstone in the lava area. And the time is more than ten years ago, when the government organized concentration camp prisoners to look for the abnormal mandala for the second time!
Tie Rope didn't know what was going on, and was anxious to find Xinghai and the Blue Box, and finally the Blue Box was found, but Xinghai was ......
"I don't know where my brother was, it was a mess, and the tricky thing was that someone from the government found the blue box. When he saw the light, he thought it was a treasure, and told the prisoners to go up and look for it. It was very chaotic, similar to the situation of your research team - everyone wanted the baby, and the head was bleeding. In the end, I desperately got the stuff and left......"
"No, you wait!" As soon as Gu Nan broke the iron cable, there was a vague fear in his wise eyes, "As far as I know, although the information of the blue box is there, it was little known before, and this news has always been well protected. But whether it is the government or the Dawn organization, they have actually been looking for it for more than ten years. β
At this point, Qing Yu also gasped.
