CHAPTER XXXVIII

Three days later.

Everyone gathered in the base camp, and Rocky and Helen held hands and said goodbye to everyone.

Sun Yuchen asked a little sadly: "Hailin, do you really want to go back?" You know, both you and Rocky can stay in our world. ”

Hailin smiled faintly: "Dad, just like you can't give up your world, Rocky and I can't abandon our hometown. We were born and raised there, and there are so many memories we share. And I believe that people and animals in another world also need me and Rocky. We will build it into a beautiful home. ”

Sun Yuchen knew that he couldn't change Hailin's decision. Just like when she came to him behind her back, this girl has a strong personality and self-assertion. Sun Yuchen stretched out his arms, hugged Hailin deeply, and said to his daughter, "Remember to come and see me." ”

"I will, Daddy."

Helen took a deep breath, tilted her head, and held back her tears. She and Rocky waved to the crowd and said, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye." After Rocky said these two words, he made a space-time transition and disappeared with Helen.

After the two of them left, Lei Ao said: "No matter what, the 'Big Three Incident' has finally been completely resolved. Boss Hang Yi, what should we do now? ”

Hang Yi said: "In the past two days, I have thought a lot. There are some things that I need to talk to some of you individually. ”

Fanning said, "Then let's go back to our rooms." Whoever you want to talk to, just go to that person's room. ”

Hang nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

So they went back to their rooms. After this incident, Helenko also temporarily stayed in the base camp of the National Security Bureau.

The death of Gilkerry has left the members of the Guardian League grieving. This is the biggest blow the Guardian League has suffered so far. Not only Hang Yi and them, but even Helenke and others were also moved, they knew that Ji Kairui's sacrifice saved them all. Regardless of the position, this reason is enough to make anyone respect him.

It took three days for Hangyi and Sina to pick themselves up. The only reason why they are strong is Ji Kairui's dying entrustment - to protect the world and the people they love. Hang Yi knew that only if he did this, Ji Kairui's sacrifice would be worthwhile.

After wiping away their tears, there are many important things waiting for them to do.

Hang Yi and Xin Na found Lu Hua together, but they did not talk in Lu Hua's room. In order to avoid the ears of the partition wall, they went to a classified place on the second basement floor, where there were no other people.

Lu Hua asked, "What is so important?" To come to such a secret place. ”

Hang relayed what Xinna told him to Lu Hua, and Lu Hua was taken aback after listening to it: "It turns out that the National Security Bureau has installed nano cameras in each of our rooms!" Lu Jinpeng, Hou Bo, Fang Lifu and Zhao Youling are all from the old gods? ”

Hangyi: "Xinna and I have already seen the surveillance footage, and the conversation between them has undoubtedly revealed that they are undercover agents sent to our side by the Old Gods. ”

"So ......"

Hang Yi interrupted Lu Hua's words with a gesture and motioned for him to continue listening to himself, "I know what you want to ask—who is the old god, right?" But unfortunately, Lu Jinpeng and the four of them didn't know. The Old Gods are very cunning and never show their faces in front of them. Wen Peier has always been asked to communicate with Lu Jinpeng and others as a spokesperson. ”

"Wen Peier...... She's also from the Old Gods' side. Lu Hua frowned, and then asked, "Then since we already know that Lu Jinpeng is a member of the old gods, what measures should we take?" ”

Hang Yi and Xin Na glanced at each other, and then said, "We plan to use a counter-strategy." ”

Lu Hua immediately understood: "Are you trying to grasp this clue and see if you can trace the identity of the old god along the vine?" ”

"Yes, that's it."

Lu Hua said worriedly: "However, knowing that they have ill intentions, not keeping them by your side doesn't mean burying trouble?" ”

Hang Yi said: "Judging from the current situation, they will not attack us for the time being. Lu Hua, I know it's a bit risky, but it's a great opportunity to find out the identity of the Old Gods, and I really don't want to give up easily. ”

"Moreover, the four of them didn't know that there were cameras in the room until now, which means that they were under close surveillance by the NSA," she added. ”

Lu Hua thought for a while: "I understand." But as you say, they don't know who the old gods are. ”

Hang Yi said: "If you don't know now, it doesn't mean you won't know forever." Believe me, Lu Jinpeng, like us, also very much want to know who the old gods are. ”

Lu Hua nodded slightly.

"Anyway, let's just watch out for them." Hang Yi said, "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being. One more thing, I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

Lu Hua asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hang Yi: "What do you think is going on with these things happening in another space?" Why did Lian En seem to have gone crazy suddenly, and wanted to kill Shu Fei, Tong Jiayin, Luo Xingchen and Yi Fang? ”

Lu Hua frowned and said, "I also think this matter is very strange. The only conceivable explanation is that it is caused by internal contradictions between the Big Three. Maybe Lian En didn't approve of letting us stay in another dimension, but Luo Xingchen and Yi Fang insisted on doing so, so it caused Lian En's dissatisfaction; Or Lian En is crazy and wants to take this opportunity to kill all of us, at least he can rise to level 30 or above at one time. ”

Hang Yi: "Do you think there are other possibilities?" ”

Lu Hua pondered for a while: "I can't think of it for the time being." ”

Hang Yi pondered for a long time, opened his mouth, and shook his head again: "Forget it, it's nothing." ”

Xin Na and Lu Hua both clearly felt that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked together, "What do you want to say?" ”

Hang Yi hesitated for a long time and said, "I've been wondering, why was the first person to be killed Shu Fei?" One more thing I also mind, before Lian killed Yvonne, he said 'I hate you'...... I don't know why, but it got me a terrible guess......"

He didn't go any further. Lu Hua urged: "What do you want to say, just say it." ”

However, Hang Yi's face showed an indescribably complicated expression, and his face became pale, and he shook his head, as if he wanted to forcibly throw this terrible thought out of his head. He said to himself, "No, it can't be...... It must have been overthinking. ”

As if making a decision, he said to Lu Hua: "Okay, let's not talk about it." I also need you to accompany me to find two people, there are important things to do. Let's go up first. ”

Xin Na and Lu Hua looked at each other helplessly, and took the elevator back to the fifth floor with Hang Yi.

In Hang Yi's room, there are now four people seated: Lu Hua, Helenke, Hou Bo and himself. He got straight to the point and said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor." It takes the abilities of the three of you. ”

Lu Hua, Helenke, and Hou Bo glanced at each other. Lu Hua said: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Hang Yi picked up a piece of paper and a pen on the table, drew two small dots on each end of the paper, marked "point A" and "point B" respectively, and said: "Point A represents the past time, and point B represents the present time." Then he folded the paper in half, and the two dots overlapped.

Hou Bo looked at Hang Yi in a daze, but Lu Hua and Helenke immediately understood, and said almost in unison: "Time jump." ”

"Yes," Hang Yi looked at Hou Bo, "do you understand what I want you to do for a favor?" ”

"You want me to take a time jump back in time to a day in the past?" Hou Bo said in surprise, "This is impossible, I can't do it with my current ability." ”

Hang Yi spread out his right hand and pointed at Helenko: "That's why I asked Helenko for help." If he can strengthen your abilities and get you to around level 7 temporarily, you might be able to do it! ”

Hou Bo looked at Helenke, but Helenke looked at Hang Yi and asked, "You have to tell us why you want to go back to the past." ”

Hang Yi said: "At the beginning of this year, the mysterious forest fire that occurred in Fuxi Forest Park, you must still remember, right? ”

Hearing the words "Fuxi Forest Park", Helenko's heart seemed to be hit hard. He "remembered" this incident, and was the most direct participant and eyewitness. It's just that he hasn't figured out the truth of this until now. What happened that night was like a dream. At the invitation of Lupin (Male No. 7's ability "Communication"), he goes to Fuxi Forest Park to do something seemingly crazy - try to get in touch with aliens in the universe. As a result, Lupin, whose ability has been strengthened several times, actually summoned a flying saucer into the forest. What happened after that is a complete mystery: Lupin died mysteriously; A fire broke out in the forest...... When Helenko thought he was going to die here, Luo Xingchen used spatial transfer to take him to another world...... (*For details, please refer to the second season of "Ultra Forbidden Games")

Hou Bo's words interrupted Khrenko's thoughts: "Of course, I remember that the TV station reported at that time, but did not show the public any picture of the interior of the forest after the fire, as if the authorities were trying to hide something, which can be described as full of suspicions. Speaking of this, he shouted, "Hang Yi, you don't want me to go back to the night of the incident and find out the truth, do you?" ”

"No, I'm not going to let you take any chances, and even if we're there, we won't necessarily be able to access the truth. It's not that simple. Hang Yi said.

That's right, exactly. Helenko said in his heart.

Hang Yi continued: "In fact, the day after the fire, Lei Ao flew into the air to investigate, and also took some photos from high altitude. The photos are striking, showing the "mysterious imprint" left behind by the fire – like a laser carving on a steel plate, the more than 1,000-hectare Fuxi Forest Park was branded with 426 numbers. ”

Helenko and Hou Bo were stunned, they had heard these things for the first time. Hou Bo hurriedly asked, "What do these numbers mean?" ”

"We also want to know." Hang Yi said, "At that time, Pei Pei was a member of our alliance, and her ability was 'number', and she could sense all information related to numbers. However, these mysterious marks were probably left by aliens, so even with superpowers, Pei Pei couldn't crack them immediately.

But she didn't give up, and planned to decipher it with a computer when she got home. About a week later, I vividly remember the date of that day, January 27th, at 2:20 a.m., when I received a call from Pei Pei, her voice filled with endless horror. She told me to rush to her house and see the results of the decipherment on the computer screen, saying that I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. ”

Lu Hua recalled this incident: "Yes, it was me, you, Han Feng and Sun Yuchen who went together. But ......"

At this point, he stopped, a sad look on his face. Helenke and Hou Bo didn't know what to do and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hang Yi sighed: "It only took us half an hour to get to Pei Pei's apartment, only to find that she had been assassinated, her computer had been destroyed, and apparently after she had finished calling me, some mysterious killer had sneaked into her room and killed her. ”

Hou Bo asked, "Did someone from Class 13 do it?" ”

"No, although we don't know who the murderer is, the only thing that is certain is that the murderer is not from Class 13." Lu Hua said, "Because when I was close to Pei Pei, I was actually upgraded." It shows that the murderer is just an ordinary person and does not have the qualifications of 'inheritance rank'. ”

"Who could be the murderer?" Hou Bo blurted out, immediately realizing that this was exactly what Hang Yi and the others wanted to figure out. He understood, "You want me to cooperate with Helenko and make a time jump, go back to about two o'clock in the morning on January 27th, and find out what happened that night, right?" ”

"Exactly." Hang Yi said, "You also want to take me and Lu Hua, the four of us together." ”

Lu Hua asked, "What role can I play?" ”

Hang Yi said: "Have you forgotten, at that time, Sun Yuchen used his mind reading technique to hear the voice of someone in the room, indicating that there was someone hiding in the room at that time, and he may be the murderer who had not yet had time to leave!" ”

Hou Bo shuddered, chilled by the scene they described.

Helenko asked, "You didn't find this man at that time?" ”

Hang Yi said with annoyance: "We were very frightened at the time, and this person was in the dark, we were in the light, and we didn't know his ability, so we didn't dare to act rashly, so we chose to escape and quickly left Pei Pei's house...... Now that I think about it, I regret that even at the risk, we should have searched the house and found this person! ”

After a moment of silence, Lu Hua said: "Do you think that if we go back to the past, we may also face danger again, so we need my protection." ”

"Yes." Hang nodded, then looked at Hou Bo, "Would you like to help?" ”

Hou Bo had no reason to refuse, in fact he himself wanted to unravel the mystery. But he is concerned about some technical issues: "I'm not sure if I can do it." In addition, even if we can travel back in time, there are some questions worth considering. For example, what kind of existence are we when we go back in time? Will we meet ourselves at that point in time? The most important point is, if we find the murderer, what should we do? ”

Helenko frowned and said, "That's right, this question is critical. If we rescue Pei Pei, or find out the murderer and what follows up, it will be tantamount to changing history, and it may lead to unpredictable consequences; But if we watch Pei Pei being killed, I'm afraid it's emotionally difficult to do. ”

Lu Hua looked at Hang Yi. Hang Yi thought for a long time and said to Hou Bo: "In this way, you can see if you can make a time jump first." ”

Hou Bo nodded, took a deep breath as if he had made a major decision, and said to Helenko, "You can improve my abilities." ”

"I've done that," Khrenko said. ”

The four of them stood up together. Hou Bo reconfirmed the time: "January 27th, two o'clock in the morning, right?" ”

Hang Yi estimated the time that Pei Pei should have been killed between 2:20 and 2:50 at night. They arrived at Pei Pei's residence at two o'clock in the morning, and when they came in time, they nodded.

Hang Yi, Lu Hua, and Helenke all put their hands on Hou Bo's shoulders or back. Hou Bo looked a little nervous, he tried to use his superpower like this for the first time, repeatedly recited this point in time in his mind, and then shouted: "Time, jump!" ”

For a moment, the four of them felt as if they were falling into some bottomless abyss. But just a second later, light reappeared before their eyes, and then, they saw the scene around them and saw each other, and were amazed.

The scene is still in the room on the fifth floor of the National Security Bureau, but the layout is different, and it is obviously different from just now. But what really surprised people was their bodies - at this moment, the four of them were actually translucent, looking like ghosts.

Hou Bo said confusedly: "We...... Go back in time? ”

Lu Hua was the first to react: "That's right, this should be the National Security Bureau three months ago!" Hou Bo's ability can indeed do spatial jumping, but he can't transfer space like Luo Xingchen, so we came to the early morning of January 27th, but we were still in this room! ”

"Why are our bodies translucent?" Hou Bo asked.

"For while your power can take us back in time, we are not entities." Helenko was very clever and had already thought of the answer. "It seems that we don't have to worry about changing history, we can't do anything at all, at most we can only witness the incident."

To verify this, Hang Yi walked towards the closed door. Sure enough, he walked through the door like a ghost, unable to touch anything with his hands and body at all. He knew that Helenko's analysis was correct, and when he returned to the house, he said to Hou Bo: "The experiment has been successful, let's go back to the original point in time." ”

Hou Bo nodded, and a second later, they stood in the room before them in their physical form.

Hou Bo was extremely excited, and said with a flushed face: "I really did it, use the time jump to go back in time!" ”

"But we can't change the outcome of anything," Helenko said. Even people at that point in time can't see us and can't feel our presence. Hang Yi, are you sure you want to see Pei Pei killed with your own eyes? ”

Indeed, this is too cruel. But Hang Yi knew he had to. What happened that night was so important. What exactly does the mysterious hint left by the aliens mean? Who assassinated Pei Pei? Who is the person hiding in her house? Unraveling these mysteries may be the key to deciding what action to take in the last four months!

"We have to go back to that night." Hang Yi said heavily, "Since Pei Pei's death is a fact that cannot be changed, we can't let her previous efforts be in vain." I believe the results of her research are crucial! ”

Lu Hua nodded sadly. They no longer hesitated and left the NSA together. Walked to the street and took a taxi to Pei Pei's former residence. Hang Yi clearly remembers the address: the apartment building at No. 33 Dongshan Road.
