"Well...... What the? ”

Long Yun, who was stuck in thought, was stunned for a moment before he reacted when he heard Su Xue's words that came out of nowhere, "You mean-oh, I understand!" Just let me not try to change anything, just let Sophia Kochakina live as usual in the parallel world, right? ”

"yes, I think so, maybe it's safer."

Holding the photo of her parents in her hand, Su Xue put her hands on her thighs together, and said her thoughts with a hint of hesitation: "Long Yun, think about it, no matter whether Sophia Kochakina in the parallel world and my mother are really connected, at least for now, my mother's life journey is still very smooth." So for Ms. Kochakina in the parallel world, can you pay more attention to it the next time you cross over: if her life trajectory is also normal, or a qiēshun lì, wouldn't it be better? ”

"In other words, if Sophia's life is normal, then let it be and don't interfere?"

"Yes. After all, this qiē is so bizarre, I always feel a little bottomless. ”

As she spoke, Su Xue's face became a little hesitant, after all, what she was talking about now was related to her parents, which was completely different from Lyudmila's situation before.

As for Long Yun, when he heard Su Xue's construction, he subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head at this time, he thought in a muffled voice on the sofa for a while, his fingers bent in his lover's long and soft hair; I don't know if it was inspired by a series of bizarre events, and after thinking about it before and after connecting the past and back of the experience, Long Yun suddenly seemed to have a sense of integration. He was quite excited to straighten out his thoughts, and then said his overall consideration:

I said. Su Xue. There is some truth to what you just said; The so-called 'wait and see what happens, let it develop', I think this kind of thinking still has merit.

But at the same time, I was thinking, you say, why do things in parallel worlds affect reality?

Originally, that strange parallel world may have existed for a long time, maybe the history is as long as the real world - but have you ever wondered why it has not affected reality and made a mess of our real world before? I suddenly had an idea now that it was because the parallel world had been running on a 'normal' trajectory before, and it was a normal parallel world. No matter how close they are to each other, or how many people are huddled together, they will not affect each other.

No, and not only that!

I'm still thinking that maybe this effect is not that it doesn't exist, but that it can't be directly observed.

Su Xue, if you think about it, the two parallel worlds that have existed for I don't know how many years have been in them, and the national pattern, the current situation of civilization, and even all the city names, weapons and equipment, and historical events are almost identical; This high degree of similarity can be explained by the fact that the two parallel worlds are just ordinary members of countless parallel worlds, and because they are unusually close to each other, they frequently interact with each other. That's why it's highly similar? ”

"Well...... If you assume this, it seems to make perfect sense. ”

Hear the lover's tirade. Su Xue snuggled up to him, tilted her head and listened for a while, she felt that Long Yun's assumption did not have any obvious flaws:

"So, what does that mean?"

"Oh, if that's the case, then it's more complicated."

While speaking, he took a few sips of the water cup, and Long Yun raised his hand to wipe the water droplets at the corner of his mouth:

"Okay, then let's start from the assumption just now, that is, the parallel world I traveled to has been influencing each other with the real world, leading to a high degree of similarity between each other.

But now, unlike the previous situation where they have always influenced and synchronized with each other, a full-scale war between the East and the West has suddenly broken out in the parallel world, which has never happened in the history of the real world. Isn't it abrupt and strange that two worlds that have always been unusually similar have now had a great war in one of the worlds that could change the entire face of the world? ”

"You—you mean...... Wait, I'm kind of out of your train of thought! ”

Hearing Long Yun's novel idea, Bingxue's smart little girl also seemed to be aware of the core problem in the whole matter, but she was still a little confused for a while:

"What you mean is that we have been assuming that 'two parallel worlds are too close together to influence each other by chance,' but now it seems that if our assumption becomes 'this influence has always existed, so the two are very similar,' then wouldn't it be very abnormal for this war to break out?"

"Yes! Exactly. ”

――It's really easy and enjoyable to communicate with a smart woman like Su Xue!

While thinking so, Long Yun continued his statement:

"Yes, my assumption now is that the reason why parallel worlds have an unknowable effect on reality is not because they are unusually close to each other, nor because of my inexplicable travel—but because of what I have assumed, this influence has always existed!

It's just that for two parallel worlds that are highly similar, no matter how much they copy each other, they won't have any observable effects, even if someone travels back and forth like me, they won't be noticed at all.

But now, things are different: it's because there are changes in the parallel world, changes that shouldn't be in the 'normal' trajectory. This makes sense, after all, social development is only an inevitability of chance; As for war, it is an inevitable result of the contradiction between geopolitical and economic forms.

For example, World War I and World War II were all like this, wasn't it?

But now, based on my personal observation and analysis, I do not see at all any inevitability of the outbreak of this all-out war in a parallel world. Or, I can say that this war seems to be a kind of 'anomaly', and although it is not yet known what caused this 'anomaly', it is precisely because of this anomaly that the parallel world has broken away from its original orbit and entered a strange trajectory, and at the same time, it has always existed through the interaction of zài, and at the same time, it has led to the 'historical distortion' in the real world. ”

“……！”

After listening to Long Yun's tirade, her eyes widened in a daze, Su Xue had completely understood Long Yun's reasoning at this time.

With the help of conscious prying and her own thinking, the smart and clever little girl has summed up the subtext implied in Long Yun's words: since the parallel world is now in an 'abnormal' state, the so-called 'going with the flow' has lost the premise of existence, and has become a kind of inaction, which is equivalent to watching the whole world slide into an unknowable and terrible abyss.

In that case, it's—it's absolutely undesirable!

"Long Yun, this, I understand this, but how did things become like this......

"Why? - I can't say that. ”

Facing Su Xue, who was worried, Long Yun was also telling the truth, he could only reason to this step now, that is, "The parallel world and the real world have long been connected, and now because the parallel world has gone wrong, and he happened to have crossed over, he has observed this connection." As for the new questions raised by this reasoning, first, why does there be such an anomaly as "world war" in parallel worlds? Second, what is going on with his dragon cloud crossing?

He can't answer either of these questions now.

But then again, even if he can't answer these questions for the time being, he can still use this to guide his next move:

"Su Xue, I don't think let's dwell on the overall situation first, we can't think of an answer to these things for the time being. Now the question is, if my speculation is true, then for Sophia Kochakina, the so-called 'let it be' is certainly not advisable.

Not to mention anything else, in the parallel world, the world should be peaceful, but now there is a world war; Both Bulgaria and Ukraine have now become the front line of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, in other words, Sofia is not too safe in either place, can you understand this? ”

"Well...... I think you're quite right. ”

"Yes! So if you ask me, what are the next steps, how to deal with the appearance of Sophia Kochakina? Regardless of whether the encounter with Sophia on the train was a coincidence or something else, I thought it would be better to try to get her out of the battle area first. ”

When he said these words, Long Yun was naturally afraid of scaring his lover, but she could understand what he meant.

To put it bluntly, since the two worlds have always influenced each other, then if Sophia Kochakina in the parallel world has any strengths and weaknesses because of the war, then it is not a joke that what will happen to the prospective mother-in-law in the real world!

Sure enough, the connection of consciousness between the two of them, coupled with a little thinking of herself, Su Xue immediately understood the meaning of this:

"Ah...... If that's the case, it's, it's, it's, it's—"

"Right? But don't worry too much,"

Feeling that there were more and more things encountered, and they were becoming more and more tricky, Long Yun thought about countermeasures with a solemn expression, and at the same time did not forget to open his mouth to comfort his lover, "After all, this is just a speculation of mine, and it has not been directly confirmed." All in all, since the two parallel worlds were supposed to be mutually influencing and peaceful, now that there is a war going on over there, of course I have to do something within my power - especially since she also has a relationship with your mother, isn't it? As for how to do it, how about waiting for the next time we cross? ”

"Well...... Now, it seems that this is the only way to go. ”

Bowed her head and thought for a while with some concern, feeling that what her lover said was reasonable, Su Xue unconsciously grabbed Long Yun's hand:

"Well, that, you have to be careful, and see what you can do. How can I say it, this world ...... Why is it getting weirder and weird......" (to be continued......
