"When I met Zhang Yuanchen, he had been dead for a long time, and there were other world-travelers from other worlds in my world, and he beat Zhang Yuanchen to serious injury, and was finally attacked to death by the indigenous king of that world." Chen Lin pondered it and described the general situation.

There was no surprise on the man's face, and after a long time, he just nodded lightly: "That's a very kind child, but kindness is the quality that shouldn't appear in us people." ”

Chen Lin was silent for a while, and asked coldly: "You sent me to that world, in order to save Zhang Yuanchen's life, right?" ”

The man raised his head, a little stunned: "How can you think like that." ”

Chen Lin took a deep breath and said the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Why did you invite me to join the group so persistently, how do you know that I am a time-traveler, oh it is the space-time physique you mentioned, and the first world I crossed was a three-star world on the verge of destruction, this is also too strange, did you deliberately lead me to that world?" ”

The man shook his head lightly: "It's not me, it's not me who chose you, I don't have that ability, I'm just a loyal executor." ”

Chen Lin immediately asked, "Who is that?" Who ordered you to do this! ”

The man whispered a word: "Gaia." ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out: "Ultraman Gaia? ”

The man's face was full of confusion: "Huh? Altman? I did see it when I was a kid, but what is Ultraman Gaia? ”

Chen Lin coughed dryly in embarrassment: "Ultraman Gaia is a kind of Ultraman, cough cough, don't care about these details, I said it casually, you should continue, what is Gaia?" ”

The man said, "Shouldn't you have guessed it?" Gaia is the heart of the world on our Earth plane. ”

Chen Lin's face was full of strangeness: "I guessed a little, but does the heart of the world also have a name?" ”

The man smiled: "It's like cats and dogs, as long as you want to choose a name, there will always be one." ”

"Who gave us such a name for the Heart of the Earth World?"

"Who knows, it's just that when there are historical records, that's how it was called, so everyone habitually continued to call it Gaia back then."

The man opened the conversation, took a big sip of coffee, and continued: "Normally, the heart of the world is not self-aware, at least it does not have a high degree of intelligence, but our Gaia is a little different, Gaia is very smart, she gave me the ability of time very early, and later I learned that this ability is actually to recruit more people for her, so I found Zhang Yuanchen and invited you to join the group." ”

"What does Gaia want to do?"

"Evolution, to be precise, is something that all planes, all life, are pursuing."

Chen Lin digested this passage and asked, "You found people like me and Zhang Yuanchen through time ability, your natural ability is time, what is the price of this ability?" ”

The man stroked the white hair on his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you see it too?" As the controller of time, the price I pay is also my own time, if my life is described by a clock, then every moment, it is crazy -1, -2, -3. ”

Chen Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This is too violent." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "So is there a way to make up for this kind of price?" ”

The man stared at him fixedly: "You want to ask if your lost memories can be retrieved, right?" ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly: "I still can't hide it from my predecessors, can the time ability of my predecessors allow you to see through the past and future of everything?" ”

The man nodded in the affirmative.

Chen Lin was shocked, this ability was too rebellious.

But the man changed his words: "However, there are countless possibilities for the timeline, as many as the world, and what I can see through may only be a certain timeline, so I can't change the future, I can only influence and guide the future as much as possible through what I can." ”

"As for whether this price is reversible, I can only say that I don't know, whether it is Gaia, about this ability, or even the truth of the world, no one has really been able to figure it out so far."

This is tantamount to saying in disguise that Chen Lin's lost memories cannot be obtained. Although this was expected, Chen Lin still couldn't hide his loss.

The man smiled: "Don't be discouraged, you still have a long way to go, so I'll give you a small gift." As he spoke, he took out something resembling a capsule from his bosom.

Chen Lin couldn't cry or laugh: "Is this the time capsule you gave Zhang Yuanchen back then?" ”

"That's right, you can ignore time and space and leave any message you want to leave, I hope it can help you."

Chen Lin smiled: "I hope it won't be used when it's not." Still, he accepted the capsule and thanked him.

After a while, the coffee between the two of them was almost drunk, and the man got up first and took the down jacket and hat in his hands: "It's almost over, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

Chen Lin also got up, hesitated, and asked, "The last question, can you ask your seniors, why do you think we, the traversers, crossed over?" ”

The man stood still.

After a few minutes, he put down his clothes again, took his phone out of his pocket, opened the screensaver and handed it over.

The photo on the screensaver is a couple, and a very cute child, the child is estimated to be four or five years old, the couple looks very young, and it is obvious from the outline that the man in it is the Great Wilderness Dou Emperor in front of him.

This is a very happy family, Chen Lin praised: "Your child is very cute. ”

The man smiled and nodded: "Yes, she was indeed cute when she was alive." ”

Chen Lin's smile stiffened: "I'm sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter, my daughter and my wife left in '99 and died at the hands of those aliens, heh, it's ridiculous that before '99, although there were already aliens on Earth, the vast majority of people didn't pay attention to it. The time-travelers were scattered, and there were even serious disagreements over how to deal with aliens, and then there was aggression, the most secret invasion, and we killed a lot of people, and since then, I knew that we needed an organization, an organization of our own, so I created that group. ”

Chen Lin followed his words and said with admiration in his tone: "So you organized everyone in order to prevent more earthlings from repeating the tragedy of your wife and daughter?" ”

The Great Wilderness Dou Emperor had already dressed up again, turned around and said expressionlessly: "No, I just don't want to stop, only endless busyness can make me not remember grief, that's all." ”

When the words fell, the man took out two hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and put them on the cash register, counting the cost of self-collection of coffee and cake just now, and then snapped his fingers, and the café was back to normal.
