Chapter 509: January 7 (End)
"It's okay, I don't have evidence anyway."
Faced with Song Lan's active confession, Lu Xiang patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
What's more, under the theory of time back, this incident has not really happened today.
Compared with the content of Song Lan's confession, more and more details also made Lu Xiang gradually guess the reason for time backtracking, and she filled in a complete character image according to all the details she had obtained so far.
A man who enjoys the highest level of secrecy in the coalition government.
In addition, it has the power to dispatch six-star rescuers on an ad hoc basis, and can even skip the plenary meeting of the council and decide to use weapons of mass destruction against District 17.
The number of people who have this kind of power is very rare even in the council, and it must be one of the first builders to create a coalition government.
A name that is about to come out......
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang was suddenly stunned.
She had enough information to follow the clues that she should be able to pinpoint a certain big figure in the council, but the name that should have been called out seemed to have suddenly disappeared into a fog, and no matter how she sifted through the information she knew, she couldn't find any characters who could match it.
You can't think of a person who doesn't exist.
But what is even more paradoxical is that when her brain is blank, reason keeps telling her that there must be such a big man in the coalition government, or at least "once" such a figure.
The blank space in his mind seemed to explain why the person who came to District 17 this time was Qi He.
Because it is impossible for a non-existent person to visit the 17th arrondissement under the escort of the council staff.
"Where did you go after that?"
After pondering and meditating to no avail, Lu Xiang could only throw the doubts in her heart to Song Lan, and she also realized that Song Lan's ability may not just be as simple as going back in time to before the incident.
"Downtown."
More and more details came to his mind, and Song Lan changed his relaxed state, and he realized what had happened on the previous "today".
The moment I returned to the hovercar, I had a hunch that seemed to overlap with reality.
Through the transparent door, he seemed to see a steady stream of mechanized troops entering the 17th District, and the illusory air units kept rushing past them, and in a very short time, the 17th District became a battlefield.
Against this mechanized force, there is an overwhelming swarm of insects.
This was the first time that the Devourers had truly unleashed all the units they had studied so far, and a steady stream of "Wyverns" hatched, gathering together like a black cloud to overwhelm the realm, and regaining air supremacy in a matter of moments.
This mighty mechanized force was unable to stop the steady stream of insect swarms, and they were quickly routed and assimilated.
These phantoms that seem to come from the past are now filling every corner of the Seventeenth District, but this tragic war has not affected the vehicles and pedestrians on the street at this moment, they are blind to the virtual shadows, and continue to do what they are doing with each other, and even Lu Xiang, who is constantly changing the navigation route of the hovercar next to him, seems to know nothing about it.
Before you know it, the hovercar hovers in front of the tallest building in the downtown area.
Through the glass, Song Lan seemed to see an old man sitting in a building.
He calmly watched the routing mechs outside, not flinching even at the end of his rope.
The "Flying Dragon" rushed up.
As he was about to be overwhelmed by the swarm, the old man stabbed his right thumb into his heart.
The next moment, the psionic energy formed a storm that spread endlessly, and the old man was at the center of the storm, witnessing the whole process of the storm sweeping away the city.
Then, I don't know if it's an illusion, Song Lan felt that the old man looked at him who was sitting in the hovercar at the moment.
For a while, thousands of thoughts surged in Song Lan's mind.
Could it be that he had awakened a new ability and turned back the clock to this morning when he faced the city destroyed by the psionic storm on the last "today"?
Time stands still in both timelines.
The psionic storm stopped spreading, but the rift in the space continued.
When those cracks were connected and the whole world was divided, what appeared to Song Lan was a darkness, and what illuminated this darkness was the starry sky and the Milky Way, everything he had seen before was stripped away by the broken space, and under this unique space, only he and the old man were left.
Immediately after, he remembered the old man's name.
Longinus.
"This is the world after the future."
Song Lan heard her voice.
It was as if he had gone through the process of the world being broken and reorganized, and this process was not new to him, as if he had experienced it many times before.
The strange events of today's events are linked to the scene of this moment.
No, he didn't suddenly awaken a new ability when the psionic storm came, but he used the ability to produce corresponding "side effects".
Because he heard the conversation he had with Longinus next.
"This is my gift for you, Longinus."
This time, Longinus didn't react in any way.
It was as if his consciousness had been frozen in time.
"When different timelines are connected to each other, the established destiny changes...... However, the consciousness that is about to dissipate is not destined to be taken to the new world. ”
When the black hole swallows everything, the whole world begins the process of reorganizing and repairing.
First of all, the vast universe, and then, the torn and broken space was like a puzzle, returning to the same time node, and the "flying dragons" in the sky turned into phantoms, they fell backwards at the same time, and the frequency of regression became faster and faster, and even the sun drew a clear trajectory in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Along with him was Longinus.
Together with the "flying dragon" in the sky, he turned into nothingness in the process of regression.
As the sun sets, darkness reigns over the city.
It was the eve of the dawn, and most of the champions who stayed up late fell asleep.
At this time, in an apartment in District 17, Lu Xiang, who had not yet slept, unlocked the screen of her mobile phone, and a tricky alarm clock advertisement appeared in front of her eyes.
……
"Hey, hey! Song Lan, are you okay? ”
The strength on her shoulders brought Song Lan back to reality, and what caught her eye was Lu Xiang's concerned eyes.
"I'm fine."
Song Lan shook her head.
At this moment, he understood the hunches that kept popping up in his mind.
This is the "side effect" of the timeline change, because theoretically, he who has not experienced the "future" cannot know exactly what happened in that deleted timeline.
Before, there was no Lu Xiang by his side to help him find the remnants of every "hunch".
But for him in the past, it may not have mattered.
As long as a new timeline is reached, his peaceful life can continue as before.
will not be conducive to his future elimination, and fate will always be on his side.
This is an inevitable result.
At this moment, Song Lan's restless mood due to the strange "premonition" finally calmed down.
"Longinus."
He told Lu Xiang the results of his investigation, "This is the name of the big man." ”
"Longinus?"
This answer made Lu Xiang frown, and she looked at Song Lan blankly, "I've never heard of this name." ”
Squint for a while, and try to come up with another chapter when you wake up in the middle of the night!
