Chapter 002: Charlotte's Troubles

Charlotte, who has the same name as Charlotte in "Charlotte's Troubles", at this time, he is also facing the same troubles-

Is this considered a crossing?

Moments ago, he was in China in 2017, busy working on the post-production of the project;

A moment later, he was in the United States in 1993, lying stupidly on the bed with gauze on his head, and "Santa Claus Enters the City" still ringing in his ears?

yes, is this really 1993?

Well, if the news on the TV in the ward just now was not deliberately made up by some idler to deceive himself, then the current president of the United States may indeed be that one.

It seems that I should have really crossed over - although there was no BGM "My 1997 ......" ringing in my ears

That's right, if you read the calendar correctly, it's only 1993 after all.

Ahem,Stop!It's a Pacific Ocean away from my hometown in 2017.,If you follow the local customs.,The BGM at this time is probably the most suitable for "March of the Empire".

- That's right, the era I came to was the eve of such an information age, the noon of the American empire.

So, as a traverser, what should you do most at this time?

Buy Apple stock, buy Google stock, buy Oracle stock, buy ......

These are basically routines.

Take the path of Facebook and let Facebook have no face to sell, and go the way of YouTube and let YouTube run out of oil?

These can be there, although the last item always feels like something is wrong.

Or is it really not good to copy "Big Ship" and "Avatar", and it is good to copy "Game of Thrones"!

It's not impossible, but—

If not as an ordinary time-traveler, but as a person like Charlotte, what would he most like to do when he traveled to the United States in 1993?

He saw that no one was paying attention to him who was still lying on the hospital bed, so he closed his eyes that had just opened and quietly pinched his fingers-

Is that, really as the old ghost said, useful in this day and age?

"Stinky boy, don't learn this from me!This is the end of the law era, understand!?The end of the law era!!These things won't be useful anymore!!"

Closing his eyes, the old ghost was not so much angry as a helpless roar, as if it was still echoing in his ears.

He had always wanted to listen to the old ghost and forget about the strange things, but he couldn't.

Mountains are dangerous, but there are always people who risk their lives to climb them, regardless of whether they will die in the mountains. for the mountains are there;

Artemis, the god of the moon, is high above the ground and will never be touchable, but humanity has finally taken that small step. Because the moon is there;

Spells are considered by everyone to be non-existent, only a fool would believe them, but he always believes because they are there. The old ghost proved to him that it was magic.

So, he'd rather be a fool.

After all, people have no ideals, so what is the difference between them and salted fish?

However, there is always a reason why fools are called fools -

He meditated and practiced qi every day, but he always gained little, and the effect of strengthening his body was not even as good as the Tai Chi practiced by the old men in the park; he sneaked into the morgue of a big hospital countless times, hoping to see the light of the soul that was about to disappear, but what he saw was always the flashlight of the security guard on the night shift; he visited many haunted houses, hoping to find the same kind of old ghosts, but as far as the eye could see, except for the hated word "demolition", there were only condoms all over the ground......

What is the Age of the End of the Law?

This is the age of the end of the law!

He is like the person in "Zhuangzi" who learned the skill of slaying dragons, he worked hard and energetically, but in the end he learned it to no avail.

- because dragons no longer exist.

Although the old ghost once told him that even if it is the era of the end of the law, as long as the entire human civilization can have a single most prosperous point, then light and shadow will grow together, and in the shadow of prosperity, there will be a hundred ghosts who will breed at night. And at that time, the aura that supports ordinary people to cast spells will also emerge from nothingness.

However, he couldn't catch up with the right time -

The strange night recorded in Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous" came at the peak of the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan Tianbao, and he naturally couldn't catch up;

As for London, the demon capital at the end of the century, where legendary figures such as Jack the Ripper were active, although it was desirable, at that time, his grandfather's grandfather was fighting bloodily in the waves of the Yellow Sea;

The closest point in time to him is actually not far away. Unfortunately, by the time he learned about the existence of spells, Lehman Brothers had gone bankrupt and the world had completely entered the multipolar era. Although for many people and many countries, this is a good thing, but it made him miss the last opportunity;

As for waiting for his country to become the new strongest, although it is not as far away as "Wang Shibei Dingzhong Day", it is really difficult to predict whether he will be able to catch up.

Lost time is always hard to come back, and every time his efforts fail, he secretly looks forward to crossing such a miracle - though it is bizarre even for him who believes in the existence of magic.

However, now a miracle has really happened.

So, is what the old ghost said true?

What he carried was actually a finger called the Soul Exploration Technique. It sounds lofty, but the only thing it can do is to find out if there is an aura nearby that can be exploited. Before crossing over, he had never seen any other aura except for a small amount of aura that had been extracted from his soul when the old ghost taught him a spell. And without aura, naturally there is no way to cast spells. At that time, he could only be a theorist in the field of magic.

The era of the end of the law, as the name suggests.

And after the time travel, it is now 1993, so, according to the theory that under the shadow of the only prosperous age of the old ghost, the light and shadow are born together, in the United States, the center of the world in this era, will the aura that can support him to cast spells appear?

He finished performing the spirit exploration technique, but he was a little afraid to open his eyes to find out. After all, this is not the anime that can solve all problems with just football and anesthetic needles, and shouting "there is only one truth".

The countless failures of his quest over the years filled his heart with doubts, and now, when the truth is in front of him, he no longer dares to open his eyes to confirm it.

Do spells really exist?

Or is the old ghost who made himself believe in the existence of spells really exist?

Is he an illusion of himself?

Are you still awake?

"Are you stupid?"

A cold female voice sounded not far away, and he couldn't help but open his eyes in shock.

The next moment, he smiled, leaving tears in his eyes—

In front of me, a blonde girl was standing slim in front of the hospital bed, with an aura like mist around her. The aura exuded a mottled brilliance in his eyes, like a cloud of colorful auspicious clouds.
