Chapter 15: Letters
God testifies, this is really a black figure!
On the screen of the virtual screen, a figure hidden in the darkness, only half of his figure appeared.
Roughly, the next routine is that this person hidden in the darkness said a lot of anti-human, anti-social and all kinds of olive branches to Wen Zhong, asking for a fit and hugging his thighs. Then Wen Zhong was very angry and exploded the communicator, completely exploding. Then, according to the law of the toes, it was concluded that this man hiding in the dark was hiding in a rebel base, and maybe he was still an oversized rebel leader.
In the end, Wen Zhong, who exploded the species, did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, through countless star fields, hunted for thousands of miles, killed this mouse who could only hide in the dark, and then returned with his little brother, and the story ended perfectly.
Of course, this is just a matter of course.
The people who appeared on the virtual screen were not as evil and crazy as Wen Zhong expected. Just listening from the voice, this is an old man, and an old man who gives Wen Zhong an inexplicable sense of familiarity...
...
"My dear friend, when you see this video, I believe more than 100 years have passed. This is the second time I've written to you, and it's not technically a letter, but forget it. Although you and I have not yet met at this time, I know the problems you are facing now.
I know you're full of doubts right now, about who I am, about the pictures I left you, but forgive me, for the sake of historical coherence, uh... Maybe it's to make sure that my horrible obsessive-compulsive disorder doesn't allow me to reveal who I am at this time.
But one thing I can tell you clearly is that I am not your enemy.
Let's get down to business, if my memory is correct, I'm sure you received this letter by the time you received the news of Howl's disappearance and the appearance of the Liberation Heralds, right? I can tell you that Hal is not in danger for the time being at this time, and will be taken away by the Liberation Heralds, just a test. It's just that after the test, Hal will go down a different path completely, and will leave you completely.
I can't tell you what the test will be, because someone will tell you the truth.
In addition, I can tell you that the person in the photo is indeed Olivia, and Olivia is in a very dangerous situation at this time.
Now, you have to make a choice between rescuing Olivia first or rescuing Hal first. While I don't want to reveal too much about what lies ahead, what I have to tell you is that whatever you do, you'll regret it.
That's probably all I can say. Finally, I thought that I might be able to give you a little help in this timeline now, so I left you with the last piece of time key. Show me another email on the communicator on that timeline and he'll understand.
Find out how to use the time key, you know.
Farewell... My dear friend, live well!
...
After the old man's voice faded away, the scene gradually turned to darkness. For a moment, the room fell into complete silence, and Wen Zhong, Liu Yiyi, and Deli didn't know what to say. It's really because the people in this video are a little inexplicable, let's analyze it logically first.
From the words of the old man in the video, it can be analyzed that if this communication device was indeed left more than a hundred years ago, then in the era of the old man's existence more than a hundred years ago, he had already foreseen the fact that Wen Zhong would travel to this era more than a hundred years later.
Then, judging from the old man's vague words, but the few words he revealed, he had already anticipated what would happen more than a hundred years later. Even the time key mentioned at the end, and what timeline and other strange terms have already said it all.
If this old man is real, if the existence of this communicator is real, if these pictures are real, if this black gold striped stone called the time key is real, then the time traveler is real.
Wen Zhong pondered for a long time, and suddenly turned off the video, and the interface returned to the mailbox. The date on the mailbox clearly states that the date of receipt of this email is the year 314 of the cosmic calendar.
Here we have to mention a little bit about the chronology of the universe.
In fact, when the Federation entered the cosmic age, it abandoned the A.D. chronology and replaced it with the current cosmic chronology. However, as the boundaries of the Federation expanded, the authorities of the Federation soon discovered that the speed of time between the various galaxies was not exactly the same. There are places where time flows faster, while others flow at a slower rate. Until the birth of Hongqiao and the discovery of the existence of warp space, although the Federation nominally ruled over more than 400 planets, in fact, more planets were still autonomous.
Later, the discovery of warp space, and the Hongqiao technology, which can carry countless spaceships, were lit up, and these planets scattered in various galaxies were completely linked together and became a member of the Federation. But the speed of time is beyond human means, and with the Federation's high degree of autonomy, many planets still follow their previous chronology.
Just like the Zenith, the home planet of mankind, Earth, still uses the Common Era, and only on official occasions will the three words of the cosmic calendar be mentioned. Compared with the 100-odd years of the cosmic calendar, the A.D. years used by the barren Zenith are far easier to remember than the number of years in the ephemerum of the universe.
In any case, all official records of time in all federations are still based on cosmic chronology. The cosmic calendar is 314 years old, which is about 120 years ago. And the communication device in Wen Zhong's hand is the latest model this year, if nothing else, this old man hidden in the dark may really be a time traveler as Wen Zhong thought.
Wen Zhong seemed to have heard the words of the time traveler somewhere, but unfortunately he couldn't remember where he had heard it now. I saw that he slowly picked up the black gold striped stone in the box, and Liu Yiyi on the side couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Be careful, this thing may be weird!" ”
However, Wen Zhong ignored her, perhaps saying that he was very sure that there was nothing strange about this thing. The telekinetic net shrouded him, and if this stone was really as strange as the mysterious old man in the video said, then Wen Zhong would have noticed it a long time ago.
I saw Wen Zhong holding the black gold striped stone in his palm and kneading it for a long time, and the shape of the stone was exactly the same as what he had perceived at the beginning, irregular and without any regularity. The pattern was not attached later, but fused with the body of the stone.
The stone was about the size of a finger's knuckles, and it seemed to be no different from the stones that can be found everywhere along the road, except for its mysterious appearance.
Wen Zhong, who had already believed the email from more than a hundred years ago, did not think that the mysterious old man would send a stone to him for no reason. Thinking of the old man who once said that this stone was the so-called key to time, and that he knew that he could find a way to use it, Wen Zhong seemed to have thought of something.
As soon as Wen Zhong's fingers were released, the stone fell.
The black-gold striped stone did not fall to the ground, but floated in Wen Zhong's palm. In the surprised gazes of Liu Yiyi and Deli, streams of ethereal and faint red shadows slowly poured into the black-gold striped stones floating in Wen Zhong's palm!
