Yuan Yi recalled the day he met Bam, and the other party had talked to him.
In the well-decorated mansion, Bam used a question that seemed rather casual to Yuan Yi at the time as an introduction: "How old does Your Excellency Yuan Yi think is the contemptible person?" ”
Here is another repetition of Bam's physical features.
Bam is more than 1.6 meters tall, and the high boots on his feet raise him a few centimeters, but less than 1.7 meters, a set of Victorian orthodox aristocratic clothes makes him look like a young master from a famous family, but in fact, if it is really a young master from a famous family, he will not dress like this in this era. He's young, and it's not just about his size, it's about his sexual characteristics (Adam's apple, voice, don't think crooked...... and the skin can be seen.
“15?” Yuan Yi guessed as big as he could, although Yuan Yi wanted to say 13 years old, but the other party's excessive aging blurred this boundary.
"That's not right."
"Then 16?" Yuan Yi saw Bam's funny expression when he saw it: "13? ”
"Still not right."
"Then you have to tell me a direction, big or small?"
"It's small."
“17?”
"You can make the span a little bigger."
No way? Yuan Yi looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, did this thing turn out to be an adult? But that can explain why he's so old, but it really can't be opened by looking at it.
“20?”
Bam still shook his head.
"You don't think you're about my age, do you?" At this time, Yuan Yi also felt that something was wrong, it was not that Bam was deceiving him, but he felt that it must be related to the "drifter" that Bam said.
Noticing the change in Yuan Yi's expression, Bam no longer hung his appetite and announced the answer with a smile.
"The correct answer is 65 years old."
"This ...... How can it be! Yuan Yi's surprise was unobstructed, although he was extremely surprised on his face, his intuition told him that the other party was not lying, because there was no need for that.
"Don't you think it's incredible?"
Naturally, there is no need to say much, Yuan Yi estimated that if this is not amazing, then there is nothing incredible in this world, provided that Bam is not lying.
Yuan Yi nodded slightly: "It's really incredible." ”
Bam smiled at Yuan Yi, he knew that he didn't believe what the other party said, but it was nothing, trust was a long-term thing based on the interests of both parties, if he and Yuan Yi switched positions, he wouldn't believe that a teenager who met for the first time told such a ridiculous story. Bam's left hand was injured, and he had to let it rest on the armrest and prop up his side face with the other. The conversation continued: "In fact, I came into this world 27 years ago, when I was 38 years old, a father of two children, the husband of a woman, my eldest son has been married for a year, and the youngest daughter is almost of marriage age, she is an out-and-out beauty embryo, my little angel, if you met her at that time, I can be a matchmaker for you, I can guarantee that you will like her." ”
"But now, I guess I can only marry her daughter, right?" Yuan Yi teased.
"yes." Bam didn't seem to hear Yuan Yi's voice, but in exchange for a sigh of true love, it seems that he really misses his family, at least with this expression, Yuan Yi doesn't think it's a fake.
However, doubts have not decreased, but have tended to increase.
Yuan Yi decided to ask for something practical, rather than the information he already knew: "So, when you came to this world as a 'drifter', did you look like you are now, I mean, if there is any way to maintain this appearance, then it is estimated that the crowd of visitors will break through the threshold." ”
"No, it's been a matter of recent years that I've become what I am now, and when I first started, I was no different from other 38-year-old middle-aged men, maybe I was a little boastful, but at that time I was 1.85 meters tall and a beautiful man with a good demeanor."
"It's conceivable," Yuan Yi tried to make up in his mind what the young man in front of him would look like when he was middle-aged, but he was more concerned about the reason: "But why are you like this now, what happened to you?" ”
"That's what I'm going to tell you today, some of the costs of being a 'castaway'."
"The price of the 'Castaway'?" Yuan Yi repeated the other party's words.
"That's right," Bam nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "Presumably Your Excellency Yuan Yi also knows very well that most of the 'Drifters' have no memories of the past, right?" ”
"To date, I haven't met a second 'castaway' other than you who claims to have kept his memories."
"This is not surprising, because it is a necessary condition for passing through the walls of time and space - the loss of memories of the past."
"Then why are you an exception?"
"I don't know," a smile appeared on Bham's face, "maybe because I'm male?" ”
In this way, most of the drifters are women, and they are all ship girls with combat factors in their bodies. This explanation can be perfunctory, but it is not convincing.
"And my case is reverse growth."
"This is the first time I've heard of such a situation."
Bam smiled and ignored Yuan Yi's complaints.
"27 years ago, I came to this world because of an accident, you don't need to ask about this memory, it completely disappeared in my brain, becoming the only fault line of my memory, I think this is also one of the prices I paid to become a drifter through time and space, and most of the memories I have are before that." Bam's not-so-sharp, but perceptive eyes swept over Yuan Yi's face, and he gently described his experience: "At first, I was silent, which is not surprising, you don't understand what it feels like to go blank in your brain and come to a completely unfamiliar place. And at that time, I didn't fully understand the language of this world, and it took me a lot of time to learn it, but luckily as a 'drifter', amnesia can be used as a cover, and it gives me time to integrate into this world. ”
"At that time, the captain and the admiral of the fleet that rescued me were very kind. They provided me with a comfortable environment to recuperate, and explained a lot of things to me, and in the process, I gradually realized that the world in front of me was completely different from the world I had been in, it had a ship, the deep sea, and a never-ending war between the two. ”
"After the most difficult time, I began to adapt to the world, studying the language, culture, and even the structure of the world. At first, I didn't realize the connection between the world I was in and the world I am now, but I just saw them as two different worlds until I ......"
"What did you find?"
"What you call ancient civilization technology."
"Salvaged legacy?" Yuan Yi thought that since Bam had been rescued by a certain admiral, it would not be uncommon to see the salvaged ancient heritage.
Confirming Yuan Yi's conjecture, Bam nodded.
"If time is compared to a ray from which a point is taken, then the past time of this point is static, and the future is infinitely extended in one direction. The world I live in is a point of stillness, but its existence still radiates to the present. When I found some of the items I was familiar with from the pile of discarded loot, I realized that I didn't somehow end up in another world, but traveled through a long timeline and jumped into the future. And looking back at the past in this version of history, it stands to reason that the civilization of the world in which I exist has been destroyed. ”
"What is the reason?"
"I don't know, at least at that point in time, there haven't been events that are enough to destroy the world," Bam didn't have much emotion on his face, after all, for him, it had already taken enough time for him to calm down the shock in his heart: "But the more advanced science and technology, the more impetuous human beings are no longer tolerant, and there are still many hidden dangers exposed by human beings, dense population, overdeveloped civilization, increasingly scarce resources, and imminent wars between different countries, when will these fuses break out, The demise of humanity is not impossible. ”
"......" Yuan Yi glanced up at Bam, and this glance was to re-estimate the value of the other party.
Bam didn't care about this, he tapped his cheekbone with the hand that was holding his cheek: "I know what you're thinking, Your Excellency Yuan Yi, as I said before, I sincerely want to cooperate with Your Excellency, so if there is something that I can do and is within the scope of morality, I will definitely not refuse." ”
"You know the abilities of those ancient props, and you can use and repair them?" Yuan Yi saw that the other party said this, so he simply went straight to the point: "I still know the history of the past......"
These are the bargaining chips that Bam used to negotiate cooperation.
"Not all, but it's mostly true." Bam replied with a smile: "Don't forget that it has been 27 years since I crossed into this world, and although I have not been directly involved in the war, I have also done a lot of things for the admiral who saved me in the first place - you don't have to look at me like this, I am not a ship lady and cannot equip a ship, this help is naturally from other forms." ”
When Yuan Yi heard him say this, he immediately understood in his heart: "So you founded this 'Chamber of Commerce'?" ”
But when it came to the content of this part, Bam, who had been answering briskly just now, paused: "Well, this is also a part of it, because it also involves the secrets or private information of other people, sorry, Your Excellency Yuan Yi, please raise your hand and let me go of this part of the content." ”
Yuan Yi touched his chin, his expression a little noncommittal.
In the end, though, his sanity triumphed over curiosity.
"May I ask you a question?" Yuan Yi immediately stopped asking questions and changed the topic.
Bam reached out and made a gesture of please.
"You haven't told me why you asked me to work with you."
"The reason is what I said before, you are my favorite candidate," Seeing that Yuan Yi opened his mouth to say something again, Bam stretched out his hand to stop him, and then smiled: "As for my reason, it is because I want to go back." ”
