Chapter 42: Rescue Against Time

Just experienced a catastrophe, and the few people present had nothing to talk about, they were speechless for each other, and they were silent for a long time before Lei Ling and the others finally left in embarrassment.

"That's right." Before leaving the door, Long Haoqian turned around and said, "The current Baili Chongyang Councilor has withdrawn from the council and has become the president of the Earth Branch of the Interstellar Rescue Society. He asked us to tell you that we could visit him when we had time. ”

Long Xingyi nodded and silently watched the three of them leave.

Yin Yuting sat back next to Long Xingyi again and asked calmly, "Are you ready?" ”

"What?" Long Xingyi asked a little surprised.

"Time travel, go back to the future and find the Dream Builder." Yin Yuting smiled and said.

Long Xingyi was silent for a moment before he replied, "Yes, but I don't want to take you this time." Time travel is not trivial, no one knows what they will face, and when they come back, they will return to which time and space. I've fully experienced the loneliness of being in a strange world, and I don't want you to go back to the wrong time and experience it again like me. ”

Yin Yuting said calmly: "I'll accompany you, together." ”

Long Xingyi shook his head, "No, I don't want to hurt you even more. I'm going back on my own. ”

"Hurt me?" Yin Yuting smiled bitterly and said: "Look at everything in front of you, so far, what is the point of me not being in this time and space?" Wandering in this world, being an interstellar refugee, or wandering in time and space, coming and going freely, it doesn't make much difference to me. And I won't experience the loneliness you said, because this time it's the two of us. Even if the whole world becomes stranger, at least there will still be you. ”

Speaking of this, a warm current poured into Long Xingyi's heart, with mixed feelings, and for a while, it was indescribable.

Yin Yuting seemed to think of something again, and said with a weird smile: "Besides, you said it, you can't do it without me." You were the one who brought me into the interstellar team, and you're going to be responsible for me to the end. ”

"Well, it seems that this time, I have a responsibility." Long Xingyi said with a gentle smile.

In order to prevent Shaka the Great from assassinating the Dragon Star Yi again, Elder Dolby brought the Dragon Star Wing, who was gradually recovering from his injuries, back to the base fortress of the interstellar agents. There are four-dimensional space monitors there, and there are layers of protection from interstellar agents, even Shaka the Great does not dare to act rashly.

After a few days of recuperation at the interstellar agent base, Long Xingyi was finally able to walk on the ground. On this day, Cruze visited again.

"I've considered your last proposal. Precise time and space travel is also strictly controlled in the Interstellar Alliance. However, considering the catastrophe that Earth has experienced this time, and the cause of Judgment Day, it was originally due to the time travel arranged by Shaka the Great, so I have submitted a proposal to send you back to the past to arrest the culprit to the Council. After the council has passed by more than half, there are still layers of formalities to go through, and I know that you are already anxious, in fact, so I will try to speed up the process. ”

Long Xingyi knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so he could only wait quietly, so he asked instead: "By the way, is there a whereabouts of the part of the earthlings who were captured?" ”

Cruze hesitated for a moment and said, "According to our investigation, capturing you earthlings is only part of the conspiracy of Emperor Shaka. Just as I had predicted, he was to use the wisdom and labor of your earthlings to serve him. We discovered that he was building an artificial planet in the public star field of our plane, called the 'Death Star'. ”

"Can you save it?" Long Xingyi asked.

Cruze shook his head, "It's hard to say, his concentration camp is set up in a four-dimensional space, and it's hard for us to get close. We are negotiating with the government agencies of the Four-Dimensional Space to join forces against Shaka the Great and wipe him out as soon as possible. ”

"By the day you negotiate, I'm afraid there won't be many earthlings." Long Xingyi said with a wry smile.

"That's why I'm going to put your plan on the agenda as an alternative." Cruze said reassuringly.

Long Xingyi took a deep breath, "Then, I really need to recover sooner." ”

"Don't get too excited!" Cruze smiled and said, "Even if you could go back in time, I still have a few things to remind you of." ”

"I want to hear about it." Long Xingyi moved a chair and sat on it, listening carefully to Cruse's next words.

"First of all, travel back in time, and you are no longer the same you used to be, so you can't have any impact on the society at that time except for carrying out tasks, otherwise...... You've probably heard of the butterfly effect. Cruze said euphemistically.

"Okay, I get that." Long Xingyi replied.

"Secondly, don't lose the Interstellar Agent Medal on your body. No matter what time and space you are in, the Star Alliance will recognize the Star Agent Medal, which means that no matter which time and space you return to when you travel back, your Star Agent Medal is your identification and convenient for you to carry out your mission. ”

Long Xingyi thought for a while and said, "You mean...... Even if I accurately return to the past of our plane, I may not be able to travel back? ”

Cruze nodded, "That's the third point I want to emphasize to you. If you really change too much about space-time, you will likely return to another parallel space-time future, and we have many precedents for this. However, no matter which future you return to, it will not have much impact on you who have traveled from the past. ”

"So...... What if you were originally from this era? Long Xingyi couldn't help but think of Yin Yuting.

Cruze also knew this, smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever felt a sense of déjà vu with everything that happened around you, as well as the environment, characters and dialogues at that time?" ”

Long Xingyi thought for a moment and nodded silently.

"That's right, it's a short space-time pulse, caused by the confusion of space-time memory caused by your repeated travel through parallel time and space. That is, if you travel back in time and back to the present, there may be two yous, and there may be ...... The rendezvous becomes one, and the occurrence of memory overlay will merge the memories of the old and the new together. Cruze explained.

"That's ...... Isn't it painful? Long Xingyi asked, he couldn't help but get up, walked to the window, and looked at Yin Yuting on the training ground downstairs.

"There will be a short period of pain! But...... How so? It's the same person in the first place, and it's nothing, and no one has changed anyone's life trajectory, which is fair. Cruze was able to understand Long Xingyi's thoughts, and said empathetically. Moreover, if you accurately return to our time and space, then the people who knew you at the beginning will still think of you again the moment they see you, and awaken all their previous memories. This is also another form of space-time pulse. ”

"That's good, but it's a tragedy if you come back and have to do it all over again." Long Xingyi joked absentmindedly.

"Don't rejoice too soon!" Cruze got up and patted Long Xingyi on the shoulder, "Young man, your mission is to save the fate of an entire planet, and the impact on time and space is very great, what probability do you expect to be able to return to the original time and space?" ”

"Or else?" Long Xingyi seemed to think of something before, and said with a wry smile: "It is said that people always have the right to choose, but in fact, reality will always deprive people of the right to make a fair choice, forcing people to have no choice." ”

"There is still a long way to go." Cruze said meaningfully, randomly turning around to leave, "When the council passes this resolution, we'll make a backup of your information so that no matter which year 2199 you go back to, you can recover your identity." ”

"Thank you." Long Xingyi turned his head and said sincerely.

"Today is the last day of the year 2199 of the Earth calendar, and tomorrow will be the year 2200, enjoy your New Year's Eve!" "Also, your new suit is being made, and I think as an old agent, you're qualified to come up with ideas and customize your new suit." Let's go to the Ministry of Science and Technology when you have time! With that, he walked out of the room.

Rescue ...... in time What will it look like? Long Xingyi looked at Yin Yuting, who was talking to other agents downstairs, and thought silently.
