The whole world was shocked by the strange speed of technological development in the Dragon Kingdom, but there was nothing to be done.

The most they can do is to invest more, hoping to chase something on other tracks.

However, Dragon Country's quantum physics technology has been leading the world for nearly 100 years, what kind of investment can make up for this gap?

Others say that the barrel effect requires all-round development.

But when one of the casks goes too far beyond one of the boards, it's a completely different story......

This wooden barrel can be held diagonally.

What's more, the Dragon Kingdom actually doesn't have any shortcomings......

So, when this question arises, of course, they set their sights on the Dragon Kingdom from the year 2050.

There were already a lot of agents and intelligence agents in the various districts within the villa area of the Twisted Contract, but now there are even more.

Looking at the villa area with more and more people, Lu Yun certainly understood why.

Therefore, he had to be more careful than before when he stood on the water tower, so that the agents would not see him when they inadvertently swept over the water tower.

"That's right."

"So many people came......

"It's getting harder."

Lu Yun was still holding the pencil in his hand, and the expression on his face was full of helplessness.

In the past ten days, he can be said to have used all the methods that can be used.

Even the brand-new pencil in his hand had been pulped out because he had held it in his hand for too long...... But I still didn't hear the sound of the task being completed.

At this point, he glanced at the timer in his sight.

[Life Remaining: 560:23:11].

[Mission Time Remaining: 489:23:11].

Counting the last 72 hours after the timeline began to warp, there are just over 20 days left.

Lu Yun sighed helplessly, ready to call Brother Zheng.

And thinking about it like this, I still have some small expectations in my heart.

After all, this time I have to ask Brother Zheng for a Tsukidan......

So he didn't think about it anymore, just opened the door of time and space, made preparations, and wanted to go directly to Lishan in 2022 to find a trip to Yingzheng.

The dark blue space-time door opened under his thoughts, and Lu Yun also stuffed the pencil in his hand into his pocket.

But......

Just as he slipped the pencil into his pants pocket, the action was wrong.

On the water tower, which is about fifty meters high, the green pencil falls in the wind, and in this moment, time seems to stand still......

Lu Yun's eyes widened in astonishment.

Under the water tower is the green grass, and the result of that pencil falling down, I may not be able to find it again!

Although it is only a pencil, after all, it was given by the system, and if it is lost......

Thinking of this, Lu Yun was stunned.

Lost ......

If you lose it, you lose it.

It doesn't seem like much.

Isn't it just a pencil?

There's nothing special about it......

It's just a pity that the pulp pencil was lost like this.

Thinking so, Lu Yun laughed self-deprecatingly, and then stepped forward to leave.

But the moment he stepped into the time gate, his half-raised foot froze.

"Timeline Repair Mission Complete."

Hearing this voice, Lu Yun was stunned.

“？”

He was stunned for a moment, and countless questions surged into his brain.

"Done?"

"What do you mean?"

"What did I do and I'm done?"

"That pencil fell, and the mission was done?"

"Is my task to coil that pencil?"

However, at this time, Lu Yun seemed to think of something crucial.

"No ......"

"Not a pencil ......"

At this moment, Lu Yun suddenly figured out the key to the completion of this task.

"It was an accident!"

"I see!"

He suddenly woke up to the general thought, and there was a sudden look in his eyes.

"No matter where I put my pencil, it's not an accident......"

"Only my accidental fall is an accident!"

"The usage of this pencil turned out to be here!"

At this time, Lu Yun finally figured out the specific meaning of this "accidental death".

"In other words, since it is an accidental death, there is naturally no murderer at the root."

"It has nothing to do with the law, and it has nothing to do with whether or not her death is imperceptible to external force......"

"It's about whether anyone wants to cause her death!"

The more Lu Yun thought about it, the more he felt that the concept of this judgment was somewhat interesting.

I was trapped in the blind spot before, and I only considered the meaning of the word accident to that woman, and I didn't count myself in it!

……

So......

Here's how this task came about.

At that moment just now, Lu Yun gave up the idea of killing her with a pencil and planned to go to Yingzheng. And the pencil fell off the water tower by coincidence.

And after Lu Yun gave up looking for the pencil, he completely broke off the de facto connection.

After the pencil dropped, Lu Yun had two options.

If he goes for it, then the quest hint will not appear.

If he didn't look for it, then of course the task prompt would appear, and this once again made Lu Yun sure of the fact that he wouldn't go looking for it.

But first of all, in Lu Yun's subjective judgment, he had to "really" stop paying attention to the pencil.

And the pencil itself appeared on this timeline out of thin air, because it came from the system, so after it was integrated into the timeline, it was destined to have some kind of impact.

And this impact eventually caused Liu Haiying's death on September 17.

……

However, after Lu Yun thought of this, he had a great doubt.

"It's true that when I give up looking for this pencil, it will in fact have a causal effect on the timeline."

"But this pencil just fell on the lawn, how could it be such a coincidence that the final 'fruit' could reach her death?"

"This ......"

"Is it really a coincidence?"

Lu Yun's expression was a little solemn.

This is how the sixth mission ended......

This scene suddenly made Lu Yun feel a sense of fate.

At the same time, there was a sense of déjà vu surging out of Lu Yun's mind.

It's different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people only have a sense of powerlessness when the sense of déjà vu appears, but Lu Yun can search through parallel memories.

And he quickly found the source of this sense of déjà vu.

This is very similar to the moment when I told the First Emperor that I must ascend on August 1, 2023, and the system prompted me that the task was completed.

And when this point appeared in Lu Yun's mind, he felt a bang in his brain, and Tong Kongmeng contracted!

"Do you mean ......?"

"I've been wrong about the timeline so far?"

He was shocked and thought:

"Actually, it's not that there is no timeline for the future?"

"The end of the timeline, not the end of the timeline that I thought it was!?"

"So in fact the system has already anchored that point, where this pencil should be, where I put it!?"

"This itself is within the timeline!?"

When he thought of this, Lu Yun couldn't help but shudder, feeling a burst of creepy.

The feeling of destiny arises spontaneously.

But for Lu Yun...... It's fateful, but it's not a great experience.

However, he immediately shook his head again.

"There are some contradictions in this......"

"After all, I can see my old self."

"But I've never seen the future of me."

"According to my previous experience when using the time loop, if there is a future me, then when he performs a mission, there must be a part of overlap with the current me."

"But there's no such thing in parallel memory, huh?"

"All parallel memories are parallel memories of the past......"

“……”

"Huh?"

Lu Yun began to be a little confused.

Because of the facts experienced now, speculation about future points in time is fundamentally contradictory to the determinism of future timelines.

However, the pencil accidentally fell, creating a sense of fatalism that the task was completed, but it seemed to prove something in the dark.

But the reason for this, it was difficult for him to think through it for a while.

But no matter what......

At least the task has been accomplished.

Although this sudden thought made him feel a little curious, he was currently fighting hard for his small life, as for the current things...... It can be said that it is dispensable.

If you don't understand it, you don't have to think about it anymore.

All of this will be answered in the future.

Now the mission has been completed for six ...... There are only nine missions left.

"Next Quest ......"

"Confucius ......"

He didn't hesitate any longer, and no longer bothered with the pencil.

Instead, he stepped into the space-time gate.

And the next moment, he heard the sound of the system again.

"Assignment Item: Temperament."

"There are still four tasks to be completed until the end of the second phase."

"Life remaining."

"Remaining task time refresh."

The timer in Lu Yun's sight was beating, and soon, he saw the time limit for completing the mission of the Confucian Temple.

And seeing the countdown after the refresh, many thoughts that Lu Yun had just wandered back in his mind were swept away.

[Life Remaining: 1049:41:33].

[Mission Time Remaining: 792:41:33].

"It's nice."

"It's been more than a month."

Lu Yun looked at such an abundant remaining time, and his mood became very good.

Confucius, a Confucian sage, should still be very good at talking.

What's more, this mission item is "Wenqi".

Regarding the so-called "Wenqi", although Lu Yun does not understand its essence, he also has a certain understanding, which is different from Zhuji Dan, and it is another set of cultivation systems.

Obviously, this is the key to enabling Confucius to transcend the shackles of mortals and truly step towards sanctification, which will make Confucius a Confucian saint in the true sense.

And the tone is different from Tsukidan.

It was a wisp of mysterious and mysterious things, and there was no substance, and Lu Yun didn't need to fool around like he gave the First Emperor an elixir.

Maybe you don't even need to communicate with Sage Kong, just leave the tone on him silently.

"It seems that the difficulty of this mission is very low."

"Plus now you can move freely through the space......

"It also makes the task even more difficult."

In this way, the situation becomes much simpler.

Thinking so, Lu Yun stepped into Chang'an in 2022 and returned to the hotel where he lived.

Even if the difficulty of the task is relatively low, he doesn't really take it lightly.

After all, it was Confucius who he wanted to meet.

Although it is easy to say now, Lu Yun knows this weight very well in his heart.

What kind of status is the most holy master of Dacheng, naturally there is no need to say much. The importance of Confucianism played a crucial role in the historical development of the Dragon Kingdom.

But any sentence that changes its flavor and uses the wrong word can produce an extremely terrifying butterfly effect.

Lu Yun plunged headlong into the record of Confucius in the history books, and began to carefully study the allusions and sources in the Analects.

These are the capitals that he can get to the job done.

……

……

Just when Lu Yun began to dig deeper into Confucius's life......

At the end of the timeline, in the villa area where the contract was made, the agents were still waiting diligently.

But they don't know anything about it at the moment......

The man they had been waiting for was no longer coming back.

And no matter what they do, Liu Haiying's death is already doomed.

But of course they still have to do it.

Because everything they do is also related to Liu Haiying's "accidental death" to a certain extent.

In one of the villas, people from the Intelligence Service were sitting together in a meeting.

Leader's Statement:

"We must make sure this woman lives!"

"If she survives September 17th, it means that the prophecy has been broken!"

"If the Prophet really exists, then he will definitely appear!"

"This is the easiest way to lure the prophet out!"

One of them raised his hand and asked:

"Why didn't we kill the woman?"

"If we kill her now, won't we be able to break the prophecy as well?"

The chief of the intelligence bureau glared fiercely at the man who spoke, and scolded:

"Our goal is to find the traverser!

”

"If the prophecy fails, what are we looking for!?"

"Remember, the first priority of all actions is to find the traverser and lure the traverser to appear!"

Others would have wanted to ask why it would be more convenient to take the woman away and take her to safety for protection.

However, the words of this chief completely dispelled such a problem.

If it's really secret, protect it......

Even if the traverser really came, and he couldn't find the target, wouldn't it be in vain to arrange so much?

After confirming that there would be no more such idiotic questions, the chief slammed the whiteboard on the wall with two fists.

There was a photo of Lu Yun posted on the whiteboard, and he said in a loud voice:

"Lu Yun, male, twenty-six years old!"

"Suspected of having an intracranial tumor!"

"Height around 183, yellow skin!"

"Remember that face for me!"

Their thinking is basically the same as Lewis, who has "disappeared".

But small differences can lead to a much larger choice in the final choice, to the point of complete polarization.

This is the difference between the thinking of capitalists and the thinking of beating workers.

Lewis's ultimate goal is to swallow the benefits of the traverser alone, and if the prophecy fails and the traverser can be caught, then the next benefits will be Sendler Capital.

But for these agents of the Intelligence Bureau, it is natural credit to find and capture the traverser, but it is not a life-changing credit to them.

The credit will go to the boss, the boss of the boss...... So they're not willing to take too many risks.

The idea is similar, but one is to monopolize the benefits, and the other is to focus on capturing the traverser, so of course the choice is different.

The prefect continued:

"Keep the ambulance on call 24 hours a day!"

"The fire brigade is on call 24 hours a day!"

"Make sure everything can be done, but make sure you don't miss the traverser!"

"No matter what happens, protect her life until September 17th!"

The agents of the Intelligence Service immediately stated:

“YES，SIR！”

Watching the agents rush out, the intelligence chief named Jack had a bit of confidence on his face.

He was very happy with his arrangement.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the woman does not die and completes the confirmation of death in an instant, then no matter what the emergency, they will definitely have time to deal with it!

He thought of it as a matter of course:

"With such protection, how could you die?"
