Chapter Forty-Eight: A Chaotic Timeline

Tang Xiao suddenly fell silent when she heard Xiao Jiji's words, her throat seemed to be stuffed with an egg, and she couldn't speak, that's right, if Qin Shuangshuang hadn't gone in, she might not have to die inside, but would this cause a chain reaction that would bring unknown danger to Xiao Yao? She wasn't sure.

For Xiao Jiji, as long as Xiao Yao is alive, it doesn't matter who dies.

But Tang Xiao couldn't be indifferent, because she had seen that scene, Xiao Yao hugged Qin Shuangshuang, who was getting colder, and cried heartbreakingly, making heaven and earth tolerant.

"No, I have to intervene." After Tang Xiao said this, he hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, she turned to Ouyang Tianzhen and ordered loudly: "Hurry up and prepare a plane for me, I want to go to the No. 178 service station." ”

“......”

Xiao Yao first took Qin Shuangshuang to the place where his parents had a car accident, three years ago, it was not prosperous, and there were not many vehicles passing by, so the speed was very fast, and now, there are already people there.

There is no longer the trash can that was knocked down by the homeless man, the little girl riding a baby bike, and even the gas station next to the car accident no longer exists, and it is simply unrealistic to find the spider here.

The two went to the garage where their father had modified his car, which was originally a private house but was demolished two years ago, and is now an 18-story building that houses a department store.

The two came to the hotel where their parents lived, the hotel is still there, but the owner has changed, the door has also changed, and even the internal structure of the hotel has changed, and it is impossible to find the original room.

All the clues were cleared clean.

Xiao Yao suddenly became a little silent, and could only take Qin Shuangshuang to take a look at the mysterious place first, to see if he could find any clues there.

The Secret Place is located in the central square of the 178 service station, which used to be just a square and occupies a very large area, where the residents of the neighborhood like to go for morning exercises, some people run there at night, and there are also young couples doing unpleasant things in the woods there.

Now, a two-kilometre radius is surrounded by a thick fog, and there is no square.

The fog is thick and lasts all year round, and you only know what's inside when you go inside.

At the edge of the fog, a young man came out, excitedly telling his companions who were waiting outside: "Inside is a prairie, and there are many sheep in the grassland, and the inhabitants there are very friendly, and they have given me some mutton. ”

"Where's the lamb?" The companion asked.

The young man touched his shoulder, but it was empty, and there was no mutton.

"Why is it suddenly gone?" He scratched his head, puzzled.

Someone rebuked, "You can't bring out the stuff in there." ”

“......”

Another middle-aged man in his forties walked out, a little lost and muttering, "Why can't I see anything?" Only saw a cloud of fog? ”

"You can't see anything?" Someone asked him.

"Yes! It's a fog, and I enter from the other side, and I come out of here. He looked disappointed.

"You've been in once before, haven't you?" Someone asked him.

"Yes, I made some friends there and I wanted to go in and see them." The middle-aged man said.

Someone sneered: "Once in and want to go in again?" You think too much, a person can only go in once in a lifetime. ”

"It's just a fog, how does it know I've been in?" The man was not convinced.

"It just knows."

“......”

Another woman in her thirties walked out, she didn't look old, but her eyes were full of vicissitudes, her whole body was shivering, and she looked very cold. A middle-aged man waited for her outside the fog and draped her in a trench coat.

"How long have I been in?" The woman asked.

"A whole day."

"It's only been a day? I spent three years and nine months in it. ”

“......”

Xiao Yao frowned and asked Qin Shuangshuang, "Is there any information about the Mysterious Land in our intelligence?" ”

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said: "Of course there is, we have counted what hundreds of thousands of people have seen and heard, but everyone sees different scenes, some people have superpowers inexplicably, some people have other people's memories inexplicably, and some people have forgotten everything in the past, but they have a new memory, as if they were possessed by a new soul, and some people never come out after entering, in short, it is very weird." ”

"The timeline in there is different from ours?" Xiao Yao remembered the woman's words.

"That's right, no matter how long you go in, even if it's ten or twenty years, we're only twenty-four hours here."

"I'd like to go in and have a look." Xiao Yao said suddenly.

Qin Shuangshuang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Boss, this thing is not fun, everything inside is unknown, no one knows what will happen after you go in, so don't go." ”

Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "There was a white mist here the day after my parents died, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe it's really related, I want to know if there is a causal relationship between these two things." ”

"Let's go! I'd like to go in and check it out, too. Miao Yu's voice came from the phone.

"What if you're also possessed by a stranger?" Qin Shuangshuang grabbed Xiao Yao tightly, a little anxious.

"It's not that easy to get attached to me." Xiao Yao said conceitedly.

"Then I'll go too." Qin Shuangshuang grabbed Xiao Yao's hand tightly this time, and his ten fingers were tightly clasped, she couldn't watch Xiao Yao go in alone no matter what.

The two held hands, Xiao Yao took a step, Qin Shuangshuang followed a step, she couldn't watch Xiao Yao go in by herself.

The nine fireballs in Xiao Yao's body spun wildly, vigilant of all the energy that entered his body, vigilant about whether there were any negative emotions that suddenly breed, and also vigilant about whether a monster would suddenly pop out and bite him.

Suddenly, his hand that was being held by Qin Shuangshuang suddenly loosened, and he quickly grabbed it, but he didn't catch anything, Qin Shuangshuang disappeared from between his fingers.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

Miao Yu's voice suddenly sounded: "The flow of information here!" Oh, my God! This...... How can it be? ”

"What happened?" Xiao Yao hurriedly asked, it's okay, Miao Yu is still following him.

"The flow of information here is chaotic, and time ions seem to have countless planes mixed together." Miao Yu exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.

Miao Yu explained: "It's as if there are countless timelines crisscrossed together, but everyone can only be in one of them. ”

Xiao Yao thought for a while and asked, "In other words, I came in with Shuangshuang, but when I saw him again, she might have been here for many years?" ”

"That's right." Miao Yu responded.

"Why would anyone have someone else's memory in this mysterious place?" Xiao Yao was even more confused.

Miao Yu thought for a while and said: "There is another possibility, but I need to analyze this world to figure out if this is all digital and virtual like my fantasy world, if so, then everything can be explained." ”

"You suspect it's a virtual world?" Xiao Yao frowned.

Miao Yu guessed: "This dense fog will digitize or quantize the human body and memory, and give the entrant a new memory, and this process of copying and storing may be faulty, so that some people have superpowers, and some people lose their memories." ”

Xiao Yao held his breath and asked, "In other words, this dense fog may be the entrance to the timeline, or it may be the entrance to the virtual world?" ”

"yes, I haven't figured out why anyone would die in a virtual world if it's a virtual world." Miao Yu wondered.

"Can you cross the timeline?" Xiao Yao remembered something and suddenly asked.

"By the time I've parsed everything, I'll be able to cross all the timelines, and I'll still be everywhere." Miao Yu said proudly.

"If my father had been here, would you have seen him here too?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Yes." Miao Yu said with certainty.

Xiao Yao's heart suddenly became hot, if he could see his father in person, he would definitely be able to dig out the truth about his parents' death.

"You go find clues about my father first, and then find a way for me to travel through the timeline as well." Xiao Yao said whimsically.

"Okay."

The fog ahead gradually faded, and at the end of the fog was a mysterious place, and I didn't know at what point in time I would start, and I didn't know which relatives and friends I would meet.

When the fog ended, Xiao Yao felt a burst of dizziness, and after a few breaths, his eyes suddenly became clear, and Xiao Yao suddenly found himself in a primeval forest, like the dark forest of No. 007.

Giant trees 100 meters high can be seen everywhere, shrubs and wild grasses cover the whole land, there is no trace of people walking, there are birds and beasts roaring in the forest from time to time, listening to some terrible people, looking around, occasionally a few wild and giant tiger corpses, the putrid smell and miasma are mixed together, it seems to declare that the arrival of human beings is not welcome here.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao felt a creep, and before he knew where the danger was, Xiao Yao had already moved his body sideways.

A bone arrow burst through the wind and passed through where he stood.

The bone arrow came with great vigour, and the body of the arrow completely disappeared into the dead branches and leaves in the ground.

Xiao Yao only felt that his heart was beating faster, and he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he jumped onto a low tree and turned around to find the source of the bone arrow.

A strong man emerged from a bush, shirtless, his muscles glowing, and he was not scratched by the bush.

This person Xiao Yao knew, and it was Wei Dong, the young man who picked up Lin Hua when he was in the Xiao family's old house.

"Weidong?" Xiao Yao jumped down from the tree and stared at the visitor vigilantly.

"You know me?" Wei Dong drew his bow and pointed his arrow at Xiao Yao, with a puzzled face.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment before he figured out that the mysterious place has nothing to do with the speed of time in the original world, this space gives everyone a chance to live another life, no matter how long you enter this space, the original world is only a day in the past.

Even if you live here for a hundred years and go out before you die, you are still the same as you were when you were young, and the original world is like pressing the pause button for you, no matter how long you stay in the mysterious place, the original world is just a day.

For example, Wei Dong is the mysterious place where the No. 1 of the original world comes, so no matter how long he has lived here, when he returns to the original world, the original world will be No. 2.

Wei Dong had seen Xiao Yao in the Mysterious Land, so when he met Xiao Yao on the 3rd of the original world, Xiao Yao was an acquaintance to him.

At this time, it was the first time the two met in the mysterious place. Xiao Yao knew him, but he didn't know Xiao Yao.

He also remembered that Wei Dong was full of hostility when he first saw him, and he must have formed some grudge in this space!
