Chapter 4: A Phased Summary of Return and Time Travel

He took out his Cadillac from the underground parking lot, and the car he bought before the mission to celebrate the end of training. In total, nearly $70,000 was spent. It cost him three months' salary at once. But he thought it was worth it. A person who is doing a high-risk job like his current must not treat himself badly, otherwise he is likely to suddenly hang up one day, and there is no place to regret it. Taking advantage of the fact that the main plot has not yet broken out, the third echelon is still relatively stable and safe, and Red has not even become a supervisor. He's ready to enjoy life first. By the way, accumulate more mission experience. The gray Cadillac drove on the streets of Washington at night, which were not densely populated, and Shen Chao was looking for a suitable nightclub. He suddenly remembered that Carter, like him, flew solo on his first mission, and that guy had also returned from his mission, and had just seen him at headquarters, but both of them were busy briefing on the mission at the time. When the result came out, I forgot to call him together, he was a local snake. Thinking of this, he called him and asked him to come out and lead the way, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he didn't know where to run if he wanted to find a better nightclub.

As a result, no one answered after several calls, and Shen Chao, who had no choice but to give up. The tiredness that he had been accumulating for two days also came up, and after thinking about it, he decided not to stay up late. It's a big deal, wait until tomorrow when you've recuperated enough. Drive back to his home in this world, an apartment building of no small size. He usually eats and lives in the third echelon, so he only rents a house here. The apartment is not big by European and American standards, only a little more than 100 square meters, and there is not much furniture in it. Although there are still a lot of boxes in a few rooms, Shen Chao is not crowded when he lives alone.

I went to the bathroom and took a hot shower, and when I came out, I lay down directly on the bed. Place your own gun under your pillow as usual and hold it in one hand. This habit was forced into practice by Fisher during training a few months ago. After completing these preparations, Shen Chao didn't even bother to cover the quilt at this time. For the past few days, he had a strong premonition that he would be able to go back soon. Although there is no scientific basis for this feeling. But it kept him excited. Now I suddenly relaxed, and I fell asleep in less than a minute.

In the dream, Shen Chao seemed to have changed back to the way he was before the time travel. I returned to my former home. None of them seem to have changed. Then, as he focused his attention, there was another blur in front of him.

The next morning, Shen Chao was woken up by a ringtone on his mobile phone. He rubbed his eyes and opened them to see what was going on in the room. Then he froze. Because what he sees now is definitely not his apartment in Washington. :I am back! He said to himself. Back to reality, or to his original world. Either way, it's definitely a blessing. But for some reason, he felt a little lost at this moment. It looks like something is missing.

I looked at the bedside watch, and it was already 8 o'clock. After getting up, he groggily walked into the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and touched his face again. It's still his original angular face that can quickly hook his sister. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly in the mirror. Since it was almost time to go to work, Shen Chao could only hurriedly make himself some breakfast and hurry up to eat a few bites. Time was tight, and I didn't have time to think about that strange dream I had last night. He got dressed at a breakneck pace, picked up his phone, keys, and so on. After thinking about it, I didn't forget anything, so I went out.

Sitting on the bus, Shen Chao looked at the people who were rushing to work like him, and suddenly had an unreal feeling, as if he felt that something was not quite right there. I seem to have forgotten something important. I seem to have brought something extra with me. As soon as he touched his waist, he froze. When I went out just now, my head was groggy and I didn't pay attention, and I still had my mk.23 hanging around my waist. How could you have a gun with you? Shen Chao was a little panicked, this is by no means a trivial matter. : Well, it wasn't a dream. I really crossed over, and I crossed back with some personal things! He had a bold guess. Now he suddenly remembered, why did he feel so strange in the morning? And not just because of the gun. Rather, he was lying in bed in the morning with a bunch of things that he didn't have. For example, your own emergency kit, pillows on the bed...... Thinking of this, Shen Chao felt that his brain had turned into a mess again. Carefully guarding the gun on his waist all the way, he didn't bother to greet his colleagues when he arrived at the company, so he went directly into the bathroom to find a cubicle and locked himself inside. He took out the pistol and quickly split it aside, checking the ammunition again. There is no doubt that this is a real gun. And this gun is the same MK.23 that he has never left with him for the past few months. The weapon is also in the same condition as it was last maintained. Now, then, a big question arises: how did you bring it back from your dream or another world? He hadn't seen any space-time portals, strange celestial phenomena, giant lightning bolts, or alien gods and horses in the entire time travel. What's going on? …,

Shen Chao, who was thinking hard but had no answer, could only quickly assemble the gun, sit on the toilet and continue to burn brain cells. One is to recall your journey in another world, the details, etc., to determine whether it was a dream or not. On the other hand, it's about what to do. This is a very real problem. At least don't let anyone know that you have a gun. Illegal gun possession in the Celestial Empire is a major crime to be dragged out to shoot targets.

After thinking about it for a while, I burned a lot of brain cells. Shen Chao didn't come to a conclusion that satisfied him, he still decided to finish today's work first and deal with this matter after work. Close the safety of the gun and carefully insert it back into the waist. Shen Chaoqiang calmed down, walked out of the cubicle expressionlessly, and began his day's work.

In his own compartment, he reviewed statistics that were already quite unfamiliar all morning. I had two meetings in the afternoon. At half past six in the afternoon, Shen Chao left the company gate for the first time before his colleagues. All the way home. After a full day of intermittent thinking, he had come up with several theories that seemed to him to be more plausible. Now it's time to wrap it up and wait for validation.

After closing the door, Shen Chao also checked several times to make sure that the doors and windows were closed. Shen Chao brought himself some water, and then lay on the sofa and began to carefully recall the cause and effect of the incident. Let's start by listing a few basic facts that I am convinced of.

First of all, he can be sure that he has indeed experienced a crossing. And it's a parallel world of a game I've played.

Secondly, the whole process of crossing takes place in a dream. It's not possible to know for sure if the crossing is happening in one's own mind or physically.

Again, I spent most of my time in another world, and it seemed like only one night in the frame of reference of this world.

Finally, you will be able to bring some personal items with you when you cross the journey. After crossing over, he will possess a supporting character he doesn't understand.

After thinking about these "basic facts", Shen Chao summarized the reasons for his crossing.

First of all, I played a game of "cell division" for an hour before crossing over, which should be the trigger for my own crossing.

Secondly, I didn't do a lot of exercise as usual that night, which is a possible trigger.

Finally, the "energy" gathered during the "meditation pranayama" that night and after the crossing is likely to be necessary for one's own crossing.

Thinking of this, Shen Chao felt that he already had a general idea, although a large number of "possibility" and "feeling" in these conditions summarized seemed to be very pseudoscientific, but he did not lack verification methods at present. It can be verified or falsified by guò further realization.

At this time, after thinking about this, he began to think about how to use this crossing advantage to improve his life. Regardless of how this crossing takes place, the benefits to yourself are obvious. He verified that his physical fitness had improved across the board compared to before the crossing. The improvement of speed, strength, and reaction ability is secondary, and the most important thing is that I have learned a large set of special operations theories of stealth and strong attack, mastered the use and maintenance of a variety of weapons and special ordnance, and also have a "real combat experience".

Now that he is placed in any army in the world, he can be regarded as an excellent special soldier. Of course, he wouldn't consider serving as a soldier in his own world. It's not fun to have a life of tying your neck around your waistband all day long, and it's not fun to do it every day.

After a long time, Shen Chao turned on his computer connected to the TV again. It took me a few hours to search the major game forums and video sites for a detailed search of the setting and background information about the game Splinter Cell. The vast majority of it corresponds to what he had seen and heard before. But there are also some small details that differ.

After comparing the time period he had traveled into, Shen Chao felt that he still had at least half a year to pass in the world of cell division. Because now Red is not the director of the third echelon, Sam is still on a mission. The "shooter" he plays is just a novice, and he can't participate in the joint action in the 5th generation of the game at all, and he appears as a master of the third echelon.

Thinking of this, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like he still has a lot of time to prepare? Thinking of this, Shen Chao decided to live a normal life first and prepare some practical necessities. Ready for the next crossing, he had a very clear premonition. The next crossing won't be too far away.

After finishing all this, although it was already late at night, Shen Chao still decided to do some sustaining strength and martial arts training. He picked up the dumbbell that was placed next to him, and the weight of 20 kilograms didn't seem like much. I did a few sets of movements and didn't feel tired. It looks like it's going to get some new gym equipment. Shen Chao said to himself.
