The bookcases are full of books, and there are very few extracurricular books in these books, most of which are textbooks and supplementary materials.

Because these books are second-hand books, most of them are wrapped in yellow paper covers, which is to cover up the dilapidated inside.

The mirror hanging from the cabinet is not large, just over 20 centimeters high, with a simple frame.

Through this mirror, Ning Yuan could clearly see his own face and the face of the girl Guan Ya.

It was clearly two identical faces.

It's just that the body she is controlling now, her face is a little frosty.

Although it is still beautiful, the years still leave a clear mark on the face.

Lao Li looked at the two identical faces in front of him, and stayed in place for a while.

Staying where he was with was Guan Ya, who broke in.

After a while, Lao Li asked very suspiciously, "...... Guan Ya, no, how can there be two ......"

The girl Guan Ya asked very suspiciously, "Are you ...... Did you abandon my mother back then? ”

Ning Yuan looked at the face of the girl Guan Ya, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, "What should I say?" ”

"What are you supposed to say?" The girl Guan Ya stepped forward and carefully looked at Ning Yuan's face, which was exactly the same as hers, and she asked in disbelief, "Are you my mother?" What are you doing? ”

After waiting for a while, Guan Ya said in Ning Yuan's mind, "Tell them the truth." ”

"I'm not." Ning Yuan looked at the face of the girl Guan Ya and shook his head slightly: "I am the future you." ”

"Future?" The girl Guan Ya was stunned for a few seconds: "You didn't lie to me?" ”

Ning Yuan said: "What am I lying to you for? Guan Ya, I am you from the future. ”

"And how do you prove it?" The girl Guan Ya asked.

"How do you prove it?" Ning Yuan thought about it, and just wanted to say something about Guan Xiaoyu and Raven, but she was afraid of touching the pain in her heart, and she was in a dilemma for a while.

Fortunately, Guan Ya in her brain gave the answer.

"Take my word for it."

Ning Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "The water at home will always stop on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and you need to get the water out in advance to wash your face that day, but you often study until late at night, so you can't get up the next day and forget to wash your face......"

"There are few good clothes at home, they are all recycled second-hand goods, the clothes are always full of patches, and they are very ill-fitting, and they are often ridiculed by others......"

"There are a few classmates in the class who often like to play pranks, and once, they poured ink into your school bag, causing several of your books to go black, and you cried for a long time that night."

"But because you don't have the money to buy new books, you borrow other people's books, copy the invisible content on paper, and stick it to the book......"

While speaking, Ning Yuan took out the books according to Guan Ya's instructions, opened them and looked at them, and sure enough, they were all pasted traces.

Guan Ya...... Her living environment is really bad.

It's no wonder that she has this kind of character, it's really that she has suffered too much, and she has made people numb.

"You have limited time in class, you have very little spare time, and you have to help the family dispose of waste, so in order not to delay your studies, you force yourself to learn to memorize quickly......"

"Because you don't have the money to go to cram school, you can't learn the key knowledge points, so you have to ponder the textbook repeatedly, come up with questions for yourself, and do your own ......"

“……”

Listen to Guan Ya's narration in his head.

Ning Yuan understood that Guan Ya was not the kind of gifted scholar, she was born with a learning bonus BUFF, and she could easily master any question type.

She's just trying countless times harder than the others.

On top of that, she had to overcome poor living conditions, having no money to buy tutoring books and cram school, and even taking care of her family's business......

And during this period, Lao Li, who was from Yuanxu, didn't even give her any help!

This......

It seems that Guan Ya relied on her own efforts, and ran all the way through the track from the starting line several times lower than others.

"One of those flowers out there was one you planted, and it was a weed." Ning Yuan lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "You feel like a weed, so you want to sow a future, but that grass will be pulled out by Lao Li the next day......"

Hearing this, Lao Li scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Listening to these vivid memories of the purpose, the girl Guan Ya lowered her head and showed a look of memory: "Could it be that you are really me?" ”

"How can this be fake?"

"Then you ......"

The girl Guan Ya walked to the bookcase, pulled out the third layer of the bookcase, the second book, and took out the disc sandwiched in the book.

"Do you know what this is?"

"This is a graduation gift from your junior high school teacher three years ago." He manipulated Guan Ya's body and said with a smile: "A song he wrote himself." ”

"So do you know what this song is?"

The girl Guan Ya asked curiously.

Ning Yuan gently stroked the disc, and Guan Ya's voice came from his mind: "There is no playback equipment at home, so I didn't know what was being sung here at that time, but then I knew." ”

After speaking, Guan Ya hummed the song softly.

Ning Yuan also followed Guan Ya's voice and sang softly: "I used to be young and ignorant, and I used to be lonely and unheard......"

"It turns out that the song is like this." The girl Guan Ya sighed: "It would be nice if there was a playback device." ”

"Then it's up to Lao Li." Ning Yuan turned his head and looked at Lao Li, who was standing on the side.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the slate, secretly controlling the slate with his ability, trying to put the slab in its place.

However, after being looked at by Ning Yuan like this, he suddenly panicked, and the stone slab suddenly fell, making a loud noise, startling a cloud of dust.

The slate was stuck in the hole, but it was already torn apart.

Hearing Ning Yuan's words, the girl Guan Ya suddenly looked at Lao Li suspiciously: "Yes, Lao Li, what were you doing sneakily just now?" ”

After seeing the stone slab on the ground, she immediately asked in surprise, "Lao Li, what are you hiding underneath?" No, how did you control the slate? ”

Seeing that Lao Li didn't squeak for a long time, the girl Guan Ya asked suspiciously: "Lao Li? ”

Lao Li lowered his head and thought about it, and then looked at Ning Yuan: "You know everything?" ”

"How could I not know?" Ning Yuan repeated Guan Ya's words in his mind: "After all, when I was young, I spent it below. ”

At the moment, he felt like a light bulb caught in the middle.

The location is somewhat awkward.

“……”

After Lao Li was silent for a long time, he raised his hand and waved, and the broken stone slab floated up, quietly suspended aside.

Immediately afterward, the metal gate at the bottom unfolds downwards and becomes a staircase that extends downward.

"Wow! Old Li Tou! The girl Guan Ya asked in surprise, "How did you do it?" You...... You've always had this hand? ”

"It's an ability." Lao Li looked at the face of the girl Guan Ya, and then looked at Guan Ya's face when she grew up, and after a pause, he said, "Come down." ”

Ning Yuan looked at the hole below and whispered, "Gary." ”

"Don't worry, I'm always ready."

After hearing this, he relieved himself and followed Lao Li into the basement.

Below is still the heavy alloy gate.

After Lao Li opened it, he stood quietly in place and no longer moved.

With the sound of clicking, the gate slowly opened, and Ning Yuan saw the familiar column-type quantum supercomputing, various complex instruments, and the bed area in the depths of the room.

Everything is the same as seen in the previous plane.

The only difference was that in the bed area, it was not the children who were used as test subjects, but a withered, emaciated, dying shell.

The hair on his head was sparse and snow-white, and his face was covered with age spots and some black-red things, which looked very terrifying.

At this time, he was wearing an oxygen mask, breathing weakly.

Although he was already as thin as a dried corpse, Ning Yuan could still tell from his face that this was Lao Li.

What's standing outside the door?

"Come here, kid...... Guys. ”

The mechanism on the hospital bed was activated, and the head of the bed was slowly raised, which allowed Lao Li to see the two without effort.

He raised his hand weakly and said to the two of them, "That's the android I created, and it's not sane. ”

"Androids?"

The girl Guan Ya glanced out of the door suspiciously, and the old Li Tou she was familiar with was motionless at this time, like a robot on standby. M.biQuge.biZ

Abilities, Androids, Basement...... and Lao Li on the hospital bed.

These are very similar to the contents of those boys' mouths, which makes her a little confused.

"Old Li Tou, who are you?"

After seeing Lao Li on the hospital bed, Ning Yuan was also very shocked.

How did he get himself like this?

With the magical medical technology of the Abyssal Ruins, he shouldn't be sick like this.

The girl Guan Ya walked to Lao Li Tou's side suspiciously, looked at the old man who looked like a withered tree, and asked, "Lao Li Tou, are you like this...... What the hell is going on? Are you sick? ...... exactly"

"Ahem, don't worry, kid, I'll tell you slowly."

Lao Li coughed a few times, and then looked at Ning Yuan: "Are you really Guan Ya from the future?" ”

"Yes." Ning Yuan nodded: "Do you need me to prove it?" ”

"No, I, I can see the main control signal on you, so you ...... How did you get here? ”

"I built a warp ship and flew three light-years away from Earth."

Hearing this, Lao Li's pupils suddenly constricted, and under the overstimulation, he coughed violently.

After coughing for a long time, he regained his strength and wanted to say something but gave up.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair of the girl Guan Ya, and said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you, but in fact, I am from the abyss. ”

"Abyssal Ruins, what kind of place is that?" The girl Guan Ya asked curiously.

"That's ......" Lao Li thought for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "That's the ruins in the abyss, existing outside the Ten Thousand Worlds. ”

……

In the next hour or so, Lao Li explained the ruins in detail for the girl Guan Ya.

From the extraordinary technological level of the ruins, to the rotten social structure, to the pattern of the multiverse, the mysterious ancient gods, and the treacherous sealing system...... He gave a rough explanation to the girl Guan Ya.

There were many of them that Ning Yuan had never learned, which opened his eyes.

It turns out that the ruins ...... And so much more secret.

In the process of telling, Lao Li introduced his life by the way.

The top adequacy of the Exotic Exploration Mercenary Regiment.

An investor who was once a wealthy party.

Patron of an independent laboratory.

A homeless wanderer.

Destroyer of the Old God's Seal.

A fugitive forced into exile......

Lao Li Tou, whose real name is Li Xian, was once the top ability of the "Aurora Mercenary Group", who has explored hundreds of worlds and has a small property.

His wife, younger brother and younger siblings are also members of this mercenary group, and they often explore the other universe together and have gained a lot.

But on a long voyage, he encounters a terrifying old god.

The characteristic of this ancient god is the eyeball, the huge eyeball, which was later sealed by the ruins and named "Yelenger".

Hearing this name, Ning Yuan was also surprised for a moment, and then he heard the naming rules of the ancient gods from Stewart's mouth.

After capturing the ancient gods, no matter what the real name of the ancient gods is, they will be named casually.

According to Stewart's words, it's all about making things up, so that someone doesn't go crazy after going deep into the ancient gods.

The naming is based on the characteristics of the ancient gods, or simply according to the preferences of scientific researchers, and sometimes if you drink too much, you can name the ancient gods Jincarat.

In short, it is to highlight two words: casual.

“……”

This couldn't help but make Ning Yuan a little speechless.

It is estimated that he would not have thought that the names of the ancient gods who killed them in the world would be spit out by scientific researchers after drinking......

When facing Yelenger, Lao Li's wife, younger brother, younger brother and sister were all devoured by the ancient gods, and he himself was infected with the pollution of the ancient gods.

Although he used his powers and medical methods to stabilize the spread of divine contamination, he was still infected with an incurable disease.

The disease will cause all his organs to fail, killing all life.

Even if he replaced the internal organs and bones of his whole body with a prosthetic body, it could only be delayed, and there was no way to heal it.

The power of the ancient gods is not something that can be resisted by mechanical internal organs at all.

In order to find his relatives and cure his illness, he became one of the shareholders of the "Los Angeles Lighting Investment Company" in Yuanxu and invested in the "Lin'an Divinity Research Laboratory" to study the power of the ancient gods.

Upon hearing the name "Lin'an Divine Studies," Stewart was surprised for a moment.

It was one of the laboratories that provided basic data for the military's artificial ancient god experiments.

Unexpectedly, Lao Li in front of him turned out to be the investor of the laboratory.

It's really, a coincidence that travels through time and space.

Lao Li continued.

In order to save his lover and his family, he invested all his money in the laboratory and forced himself to become an expert in the study of ancient gods.

However, after several years of cold and summer, nothing was studied in that laboratory.

His wife, younger brother, younger siblings are still trapped in the old gods, unable to extricate themselves, their illnesses cannot be cured, and their money is gone.

In great pain, he took on the idea of sealing the ancient gods.

He missed his wife so much that he was crazy enough to go inside the Old Gods.

However, despite breaking the seal, he did not see "Yeerangel" at all, and he was subsequently taken away and sentenced to life imprisonment.

After serving three years in prison, he found an opportunity to escape.

He wants to find his lover and family, so he does not hesitate to escape from prison, but when he has no money and his former connections are cut off, which laboratory is willing to help him?

At a critical moment, he was approached by an organization called the Apocalypse.

The Apocalypse claims to possess the skills to explore the inner workings of the Old Gods and shows him the tip of the iceberg.

This made Li Xian, who saw hope, ecstatic.

Without thinking, he agreed to the request of the Apocalypse Organization to come to this world to conduct an experiment on the fusion of the Heavenly Spirit Essence.

Maybe it's because the Apocalypse team is lacking in people, or maybe they have internal problems.

In short, they chose Lao Li, an outsider, to carry out this crucial experiment, experimenting with the way in which the Heavenly Spirit Essentia was combined with the human race.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but think to himself, this can be regarded as the earliest essentia experiment.

The game chip I used before should be the follow-up to this experiment.

I only heard Lao Li continue, relying on the obsession of finding his wife and a string of mysterious codes given by the apocalypse, he carried out this experiment here, under simple conditions.

He experimented with more than 100 children, but he couldn't find a way to combine essentia and humans.

The only individual who succeeded in the experiment was Guan Ya alone.

Hearing this, the girl Guan Ya seemed to think of something, she covered her head with a painful expression, and tears couldn't help but flow down.

"It turns out that I've been having nightmares...... Are they all experiments you do? The girl Guan Ya looked at Lao Li's face: "Those ...... Those kids are your ......."

At this moment, her tone was a little crying, and it seemed that her emotions had already reached a critical value.

Lao Li looked at the girl Guan Ya's painful face, he sighed lightly and nodded.

"So I'm just an experiment?" The girl Guan Ya choked up and asked, "I'm just a guinea pig you used for experiments?" ”

"Nope."

Lao Li shook his head.

"You're my daughter."

He looked at the face of the girl Guan Ya, and said a little weakly: "The experiment has been stopped a long time ago, the connector of the Apocalypse, Pandora has not appeared for a long time, they seem to have forgotten about me......"

He paused, and then said: "At first, I just treated you as an experiment, but after seeing you, I always think of my wife, you look very similar to her, I can't help but think when I see you, our daughter, should be like you......"

"You lied to me, you lied to me for so many years." The girl Guan Ya's tone was a little sobbing, and she said very angrily: "I...... When I was young, it was because of these friends that I survived, but you ......"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Lao Li raised his hand and wanted to touch the face of the girl Guan Ya and wipe away the tears on her face, but she avoided it.

The girl Guan Ya's emotions completely collapsed, she squatted down and sobbed in pain: "Oh my God...... Why are you doing this to me...... Me, I went to check the results today and found the above...... I don't have my name on it at all......"

"What's wrong? What happened to your exam? Lao Li asked suspiciously.

"There was a guy who called me and said...... Say that my grades are his......" The girl Guan Ya sat on the ground, hugged her knees and cried and said: "His tone is very arrogant, saying that he is not afraid of me to check...... I, I saw that name, is the first ...... in Qinghai City"

Lao Li struggled to sit up, and he asked, "What is going on?" ”

"I, I don't even know what to do...... I wanted to talk to you, but you told me that it was all fake...... You killed those kids...... I'm just an experiment......"

"Guan Ya ......"

The girl Guan Ya rubbed her eyes, glanced at Lao Li, stood up and said, "I need to be quiet." ”

With that, she walked out of the basement without looking back.

Looking at the back of the girl Guan Ya leaving, Lao Li let out a long sigh, and then turned his head to look at Ning Yuan.

"Tell me, how much time is left in this world?"

Hearing this, Ning Yuan was a little shocked: "You know? ”

"Well, the process of sealing is to put the ancient gods in the past, which involves the secrets of the multidimensional space." Lao Li said: "They made such a mess of the seal, it is normal for time and space turbulence to occur. ”

He paused and said: "But there is only one reality, and the others are all bubbles, although I don't know how this space-time was formed, but it will eventually collapse and collapse into a cloud of virtual particles." ”

It seems that this Lao Li has some understanding of high-dimensional space-time.

"Less than five hours."

"Five hours ......" Lao Li struggled to get up, he said, "Enough, enough...... I'll do my best to find a way to send you back to reality, you ......"

"I have a way to go back." Ning Yuan said.

"You have? It's true? ”

"Really." Ning Yuan nodded and said with great certainty.

"......" Lao Li looked at Ning Yuan, looked at Guan Ya's face, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't ask anything.

He sighed and said, "You've grown up." ”

"You can hide this from her, not to mention the experiment." Ning Yuan pointed to the door behind him and said.

"I ...... My time is short, and that's all I have to do in the past few days. Lao Li said with a wry smile: "I don't want to hide anything from her or you, and at this last moment, I don't want to lie to my family." ”

Family......

Hearing Lao Li's words, Guan Ya whispered in Ning Yuan's mind, "Father......"

"Come, tell me your story." Lao Li sat down, looked at Ning Yuan and said, "I can't watch you grow up, but fortunately, I can still hear what happened after that." ”

For the next hour or so, Ning Yuan repeated Guan Ya's words and briefly told Lao Li the rest of the story.

The college entrance examination ranking was replaced, and he worked as a helper in the garbage dump, and then took the college entrance examination twice, was admitted to university, and got a degree......

He entered the research laboratory as an assistant, and after the death of the old researcher, he was promoted to the particle shuttle laboratory at the age of twenty-three......

Then the country had to travel through time and space, and this kind of unsuccessful and reputation-damaging thing was pushed to her as a fledgling, and she led the team to overcome difficulties and make achievements that will go down in history......

After the second college entrance examination, her life was like a hanging, and Ning Yuan and Lao Li were dumbfounded.

I'll go, Sister Guan is really tough.

"Unexpectedly, these apocalypse people still haven't let you go, and they want to use you to break the seal of the ancient gods...... Lao Li said with some anger: "These damn dogs are talking about great things every day, and I don't know what that bullshit great cause is." ”

"What a bunch of scumbags who do a lot of harm." Guan Ya said: "Father, I have decided, I am going to the Yuanxu. ”

"Abyssal Ruins is not a good place."

"I have friends there too."

"Okay, okay." Lao Li smiled: "It's okay to go there, anyway, when my daughter grows up, I can't care about it." ”

He looked at Guan Ya's face, hesitated for a moment and asked, "That bastard who almost ruined your life, he lives in the city center, right?" ”

"Old Li Tou ......" Guan Ya asked with some shock, "What are you going to do?" ”

"All along, I have to keep secrets, beware of the invasion of the Apocalypse, and I am afraid of the people of the Time and Space Administration......" Lao Li said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry for you too much, now, it's time to do my father's duty." ”

"You're going to ......"

"Don't you want to go to the ruins? I'll let you know how to deal with the ruins. ”

Lao Li stretched out his hand, and a crutch flew out from under the bed, and he walked towards the gate step by step with his crutches.

"Lao Li ......," Ning Yuan asked, "Do you need me to go with you?" ”

"You take care of your other self."

Ning Yuan nodded: "Okay." ”
