128: The so-called butterfly effect

I have to say that this must be a question worth pondering.

It's just that earlier, Gu Changsheng didn't involve a timeline that was too modern, so he didn't delve into it for the time being.

And now.

The question is quite delicate.

Because the ruins of the giant dungeon in front of us are underground, from the analysis of the environment, it is already destined that the ruins are not easy to be affected by the outside world.

This is not like the Nuwa Temple in the Tianli period, nor is it like the Song Banxian in the Huanglong calendar.

This is a free-standing ruin site, a unique place that has been minimally touched by the outside world. If there are no accidents, it is likely that there has not changed in the slightest for thousands of years.

'What if...... It's just that because I took away the sand of brass thousands of years ago, it caused a series of subsequent changes. ’

'That ......'

Is the present I am in the same timeline that has changed? ’

This is an interesting question, because if this assumption is wrong, then everything is fine, and there is nothing to worry about.

And the other way around.

If this assumption is correct......

Gu Changsheng's series of measures so far may have affected the changes in the current timeline?

Of course, everything else is too far away to quantify and analyze, so we should ignore it for the time being. It's just that this giant dungeon is very special, and it can be regarded as a rather unique case today.

'It's closed, there's almost no communication with the outside world, it's like some kind of very monotonous and unique ecosystem......

An extremely simple example, Gu Changsheng had read some articles in the news in his previous life.

As mentioned in it, there is an endless stream of people who go to challenge Mount Everest every year, but with the arrival of the crowd, patches of household waste are also produced.

In the environment of plateau and permafrost, the degradation capacity is quite limited. If no one can take the initiative to dispose of these traces of life, it will last for hundreds, or even thousands of years...... Some non-degradable garbage will also remain on the ground.

And this situation is similar to the current giant dungeon.

If my conjecture is correct, my actions in the past can have a definite impact on reality. Does the current situation of this giant dungeon have anything to do with me? ’

If Gu Changsheng hadn't taken away those brass sands from the stone altar.

Maybe something more noticeable will change throughout the ruins?

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, through this example, Gu Changsheng was able to get a deeper glimpse of the content.

Thereinto......

For example, the word 'fate'.

Past, present, future.

Time was consciously divided into three unequal orders of magnitude, and at this moment, as if it was quantified data, it slowly emerged in front of Gu Changsheng's eyes.

And based on the available information, it is necessary to make inferences.

It is already certain that the future can change. The timeline I spied through the nightmare space is just a possibility, and there is a probability of change. ’

And what can change the direction of its development is the person in the moment, my judgment, my action! ’

The past is the cornerstone of the present.

If it is stirred, it will inevitably cause various complex reactions of the 'present' and the 'future'. This is like a butterfly effect, no matter how small the change, it is very likely to cause an uproar in some way!

Gu Changsheng still remembered that Song Banxian, who was born in Vientiane Gate, once mentioned the rhetoric of lace. In that person's mouth, everything in the world has a fixed number, nine times out of ten, leaving only a ray of room.

And if it seems that according to this statement, if Gu Changsheng has changed the past and affected the present, is it to some extent......

Is this in itself a kind of 'predestined'?

At this moment, Gu Changsheng's thoughts began to become a little tangled, and he fell into a process similar to the chicken and the egg.

His expression became a little stranger, and finally let Hongji notice it. The girl took the initiative to slow down, and after waiting for a while, she said to Gu Changsheng in a loud voice.

"Why is Brother Gu so restless? But where does it hurt? ”

There was no malice in these words, but the tone was not low, and it immediately made Huang Pingyuan, who was leading the way in front, turn his head and look.

was concerned by the two of them in one breath, and Gu Changsheng also came back to his senses a little. Naturally, he didn't want to attract attention at such a time, so he had to laugh twice and say perfunctorily.

"No, no, it's just that I just saw it and sank, and I was a little emotional......

How many years does it have to take to precipitate such a magnificent scene? Needless to say, these words were already known to the other two people present at this moment.

Huang Pingyuan didn't want to say anything, but now he just kept a calm face and walked ahead on his own. However, Hong Er seemed to have some sympathy with Gu Changsheng, and now he slowed down a few steps to walk side by side with him.

"Brother Gu said this, but it was the same as I thought. I've heard of these things on the mainland for a long time, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes, but now I really see them......"

"It's a bit of a gain."

Did you mention it on the mainland?

As the base camp of the monks, Gu Changsheng was still a little afraid of the other end of the sea, the area where the world power was located.

Now that Red Er has taken the lead, he naturally doesn't want to let it go easily. He pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked.

“大陆那边,对这些遗迹了解很多吗?”

Dungeons of the Giants.

Through observation, Gu Changsheng was not able to obtain more information. He could only barely deduce some obvious information through two successive contacts.

This is obviously not enough, and now listening to Hong Er's tone, it seems that he is on the mainland...... Already have some research on the ruins yourself?

And after hearing Gu Changsheng's question, Hong Er also nodded without thinking. Considering that she has a very good personal relationship with Gu Changsheng, coupled with the life-saving actions of Nanyang Village before, saying a few more words now can be regarded as relieving some of her guilt.

“自然是有的,这些东西宗门里头都有提起过。”

"It is said that these ruins can at least be as old as a thousand years ago, and there are not only ruins, corpses, but also some strange things in some places."

"For example, the lethal mechanism, and the remains of some unknown creatures, all of which may have some subtle toxins, as well as various post-mortem reactions that I don't know how to trigger......"

It sounds like a 'tomb' with fairly complete anti-theft measures.

Gu Changsheng listened to it at this moment, and now he nodded slightly. However, it didn't take long for him to taste something wrong.

"Unidentified creatures?"

In the monk's opinion, why did he speak like this? You must know that even the things that come out of the Nuwa Temple are now clearly embellished with the word 'monster'.

Hong Er, who was beside her, understood at this moment, and she didn't need Gu Changsheng to say anything, she immediately understood what she was thinking.

I saw her nod slightly, and opened her mouth to say again.

"yes, unidentified creature. Brother Gu hadn't been a monk for a long time, so he shouldn't know much about these things. ”

"In fact, there are many inhuman things in the world today that have strange powers, but still cannot be clearly categorized, and are active in various parts of the world."

"And these creatures, they all have more power than monks, or even more powerful!"

While explaining like this, Hong Er seemed to rise again, immediately looked left and right, and finally raised his hand to point in one direction.

"Brother Gu hasn't been to sea yet, has he? But I'm from the mainland, so I know some examples. ”

"For example, the route from the port to the east...... Having said that, Brother Gu knows that this Orange Island has to be a few days away from the mainland? ”

Gu Changsheng knew about this.

When he joined Vientiane Gate before, he also made up for his knowledge in all aspects by the way, and now he also knows what the navigation distance between Orange Island and the mainland is.

If it is a cargo ship in a hurry, it will be smooth to get lucky. After that, it will only take about five days to find the port.

If you change to a more professional ferry, full of businessmen and people, you have to be cautious. Walking slowly step by step, it takes about half a month to get along.

Gu Changsheng thought about it like this, and immediately opened his mouth to say these words without thinking.

However, after hearing such words, Hong Er showed an inexplicable smile.

This expression really made Gu Changsheng incomprehensible, but fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he heard Hong Er open his mouth and continue.

"It's okay at this time, and it's a normal person's understanding. It's just that...... Brother Gu, do you know that if you sail in a straight line, it will only take a day and a night from Orange Island to the mainland port. ”

When these words came into his ears, Gu Changsheng was slightly stunned.

Can you arrive in a day and a night?

That's a bit fast...... It's just that in this way, Gu Changsheng quickly realized that something was wrong—if it was really so convenient, why did the person in charge do the opposite?

Is it possible to make money by running an extra lap on the sea?

There must be some reason for this!

Sure enough, just as Gu Changsheng was thinking like this, Hong Er beside him continued to add.

"The reason why I chose to take a detour now is to sail from the safer seas. After all, it's because there are also some unidentified creatures living in the sea......"

"They're big and fierce. Some are said to be as long as five passenger ships, and if they encounter a passing ship, these monsters will inevitably strike and knock them over! ”

Five passenger ships.

Just one of them must be close to twenty meters away, and according to such a proportion, it is a huge giant shadow a hundred meters away!

百米开外啊…… To what extent? Gu Changsheng was a little confused for a while, so he had to make a proportion of it with some things, and then he roughly understood.

It had to be twenty-five stories high.

Just thinking of such a huge body, Gu Changsheng's expression was subtle at this moment.

Such a way of acting, such a long description, and such a strange temper. Is this thing ......

Whales?

This kind of thought is not outrageous, because in Gu Changsheng's understanding, the world's exploration of the ocean in the current background is quite limited.

In a nutshell...... Twenty meters away, under the depths of the ocean, no one knows what is hidden here.

Also thinking of this, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but say out loud at this moment.

"Perhaps...... Is that just a natural but rather exaggerated species? ”

It's like an elephant, like a crocodile. Genes that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day have given this creature an extremely powerful physique and a variety of strange adaptability.

But having said that, the whales at a distance of 100 meters are indeed a bit exaggerated...... No, it can even be said that it has mutated!

However, he didn't wait for Hong Er to reply, and Huang Pingyuan, who had not been able to speak in front, stood still slightly at this moment.

He straightened up, half-turned his head, and whispered.

"I can assure you that these things are definitely not normal things. They're powerful and have brains, because ......"

"I almost died at their hands."

Huang Pingyuan seemed unwilling to delve into this matter, and now after saying this, he turned his head and left.

Only the two people who were stunned in place were left, looking at each other at this moment.

Huang Pingyuan's words are simple and straightforward, but now that they hear it, it makes both of them feel an inexplicable sense of impact.

This master is still in the sea and is still fighting those monsters......

He almost died?

It's just such a few words, but Gu Changsheng has a very strong sense of déjà vu. I have to say that he did see Huang Pingyuan too simple before.

Combined with the previous encounter, coupled with Fang Cai's rhetoric, this master may not be in a bad temper in the simple sense...... He is most likely a maniac person.

With this kind of person.

In the future, it is better to have less contact......

With such a reason, Gu Changsheng and Hong Er also had no interest in continuing to discuss. The two of them hastily perfunctory, and it was all right.

Walking out of the hole along the oblique mouth, the two of them said goodbye to the Yellow Plains - it seems that according to the information in his hands, there are still several ruins in Orange Island that have not been found.

Although Gu Changsheng wanted to investigate with the past, considering his current situation, he had to force himself to calm down in the end.

After all, you can't chew too much, so it's better to digest it well now.

Simply tidy up, summarize, and turn back from ten miles.

After returning to Dongcheng, Gu Changsheng also took a long vacation. He was approved for a half-month-long vacation, which could be regarded as a relief to Gu Changsheng.

After resting well all night in the newly purchased room, when Gu Changsheng woke up again, he was also refreshed.

Get up, change your shoes, and walk against the wall until you push the window.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun is just in full bloom, and the wind is not hot. Now that it is blowing on his body, it is also just when he is comfortable, Gu Changsheng stretched comfortably, and then relaxed, and then ......

He muttered softly.

"It's time to sort out the harvest."
