Chapter 3: The Arrangement of Fate
"What about the reverse derivation of time machine technology?"
When Yunru, who was located in the rear of the battle line, received a call request from the front line, and found that the contact person on the other side was the supreme commander of the Soviet Union Coalition Forces, Nios, as a member of the team of scientists, she was confused.
The news that the coalition forces were about to launch a final general assault on Antarctica, Yuri's home base, had already been announced to every part of the army, and that time was less than twelve hours away...... Why is it now that the commander, who is supposed to be in charge of the front, contacts the group of scientists here alone, and uses this kind of internal call?
- And most importantly, why yourself?
“…… Not very optimistic, Commander Neos. ”
Yun Ru, who had just walked out of the laboratory and was going to take a little rest, glanced at Neos, who was frowning on the screen, quietly hid the cup of steaming coffee he had just poured behind him, and replied with a little embarrassment: "Professor Einstein's theory is too advanced, even if we work overtime, we have only scratched the surface of the corresponding space-time technology research." ”
"For now, we can only slow down the flow of time in a certain area, and we can't turn back time, even for a second, and it's still too early to put this technology into practice."
“…… Well, there's no way around it. ”
Listening to Yunru's report, Neos on the screen frowned, he glanced at Yunru who was trying to put the coffee in a place where he couldn't see, and suddenly asked, "What is your name, and what position do you hold in the scientific research group?" ”
"Cloud, cloud...... My name is Yunru, an ordinary researcher. ”
"You don't look very old." Neos's gaze stayed on Yunru's hair, facial features, and face for a few seconds: "Which country are you from?" ”
"Middle-earth." Yun Ru replied cautiously.
"Middle-earth...... Is it? ”
Listening to this answer, Neos was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination: "Although I don't believe in fate, since I applied for three calls at this point in time, you were the only one who answered, it means that this should also be the arrangement of fate...... Yunru, an hour later, went to my private office, where I hid something. ”
As he spoke, Neos revealed a series of passwords and how to get to his office without attracting anyone's attention or being caught on surveillance. His tone was fast and urgent, if it weren't for Yunru's excellent memory, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to remember so many things.
"Have you written it all down?"
"Wrote it down...... But what do you mean by that? ”
After making sure that he remembered it word for word, Yun Ru said in fear: "Shouldn't you be at the forefront now, making the final preparations for launching a general attack early tomorrow morning, but what you said just now sounds like ......"
- It's like planning the aftermath in advance.
Even with this terrible conjecture in her heart, Yunru still didn't dare to say it, but what shocked her was that Neos, as the commander-in-chief, laughed disdainfully and said directly: "It is impossible to win tomorrow's battle, we are doomed." ”
The next moment, the crisp breaking sound of the teacup falling to the ground suddenly sounded in the room.
Yun Ru let out a low cry of pain, and the hot coffee splashed on her legs, staining the long legs under the white coat a little brown. But at first, like a thief, she looked at her colleagues in the lab next door who were doing research. Then he turned his head and repeatedly confirmed that the other end of the call was indeed from the front-line command room, and then looked at Neos on the screen with an unbelievable look: "Commander...... Do you know what you're talking about? ”
"I know very well what I'm talking about, in fact, the reason why I only contacted the rear at this point in time, and the connection was actually you, a little girl who didn't know anything, was already very illustrative."
Neos sneered, and a strange look appeared on the young man's face: "Even after that operation in Egypt, I was vaguely aware that I seemed to have a nail from Yuri's camp buried around me...... And it turns out that my hunch is not wrong, although there is no problem with my memory at all, and my strength can roughly match, but some of the more essential things have long been different. ”
Yunru didn't understand what Neos was saying, but Neos didn't intend for her to understand, the young man just said his own words: "Since then, I have been secretly investigating, but the more I investigate, the more I find that the shady scene is terrible, after thinking about it, even the victory I have achieved before is full of strange traces, as if the other party deliberately let me win, let me gather all the scattered forces, and then catch them all." ”
"Now, the main messenger standing opposite me has already laid out the big picture, and he has long anticipated my every move, all my plans, and reactions are in his layout, like an unpredictable prophet...... But no one can calculate the human heart to such a point, not even the most intelligent man I have ever met, the only explanation is that before I know it, I have gone through an innumerable number of times of time reversal. ”
"But the time machine obviously only has one ......," Yunru said subconsciously.
"That's true, but I trust my instincts more, and I believe in the intuition that has accompanied me on the edge of life and death countless times, no matter how ridiculous it is."
Neos said meaningfully: "But the other party's calculation is the control of my heart and character, he would not have thought that a wise man of my character would actually entrust his hope to others, because even I would not have thought that I would do such a crazy act and leave everything to fate." ”
"Middle-earth...... This may be the arrangement of fate, our Nanyanzhou team does not have the ability to break the game, but the Zhongzhou team that came to this world later is completely different. ”
"Even if my wisdom is a little weaker than that of others, my heart will never lose."
Speaking of this, Neos smiled at Yunru, who was still a little confused: "This is the last game I bet on, if the 'time' can be smoothly advanced to twenty-four hours later, then it means that I won this game, and the opponent's layout has been cracked by me...... All you need to do is wait for someone after you to take over the baton from me. ”
"Wait for the right time...... Wait for the time to resist, wait for the moment to win. ”
"This is my last order to you as a commander."
After leaving this last sentence, Nyos's communications were completely cut off. (End of chapter)
