Wingate felt like he had fallen into a boundless dream.

His will became trance-like, blurry, and possessed a kind of lucidity in his sleep.

Can think about something, but can't think more.

The feeling of being in a trance but a little self-conscious.

Wingate could realize that he was falling, falling, endlessly.

There is no end to the fall.

In a world of absolute darkness, all the way down.

He felt like he had fallen into a terrible abyss.

The body twisted, writhing like a snake, fluttering, floating in the darkness.

The mixed colors are like those of impressionist oil paintings, blurry and dreamy.

There was a murmur of fragments, overlapping, as if countless invisible people were whispering something in his ear.

Psychedelic colors slowly outline an environment that he is familiar with.

He saw his abode.

Tables, flower pots, projection holograms, automatic laundry dryers and food machines, and a huge poster of beautiful women are posted in the living room.

It's all so familiar.

He personally purchased each of them.

In the back, he also saw himself sleeping in bed.

It's a very strange perspective, as if his soul is detached from his body, floating above him, looking at his body.

"Am I dead?"

The first thought that came to Wingate's mind was this, and he suddenly felt a little sad.

This is a very sad thing for a man who does not have a wife and has been single until now.

While Wingate was sad, suddenly his flesh crawled up.

Wingate, who had just been immersed in grief, looked confused, thinking that he had just seen his own body.

As a result, I found myself thinking too much.

He seemed to be observing himself to some extent.

"Myself" walked to the bed, turned on the small holographic projection, took out the book, and began to learn like a wolf.

Wingate: w (Д) w.

He never thought he would be so hardworking.

He kept watching that "self" study with a projector and a book.

It was almost dawn before I walked back to the bed and lay down.

Not long after, the bell sounded urging him to get up.

I got up on my own and complained about how I slept all night, and I was still so tired!!

Then get up for breakfast, watch the news, and go to work.

When I came back, I washed up, and soon I was so tired that I fell asleep.

The first night was like that, then the second, the third, the fourth.

Every night.

"Am I sleepwalking?" Wingate thought silently in his mind, he seemed to know the reason why he was so tired every day!!

Because his body did not get rest at all, every night, "himself" would get up and learn about history, science, art, language, folklore, etc.

And during the day, he got up again and went to work.

In this case, there was no sudden death, it was all his body resistance.

This is so weird!!

At first, Wingate was able to maintain his composure, but when he saw the back, he only felt his scalp tingle.

When things go wrong, there must be evil and chaos.

I just don't know what evil is, and I still have this habit of studying hard.

But in any case, evil will always be the great enemy of mankind.

They had to be driven back into the eerie subspace, not wander around reality.

The dream lasted for a long time, and it was not until Wingate saw two men in black appear in the doorway that the dream came to an abrupt end.

The dream ended, and everything around it was plunged into darkness.

He was once again in a state of confusion, half-asleep and half-awake.

The voice of prayer to the Emperor rang in his ears, and the darkness faded like a tide.

The lost consciousness was dragged back into the body of reality, and the vague and chaotic feeling disappeared.

Wingate subconsciously trembled as if he had finished urinating, and regained his weight.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar ceiling.

The touch on his back is also familiar, and it is his quilt.

He likes to sleep under the quilt.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be lying in his bed right now.

"Was it a nightmare?" Wingate, who was still a little dazed, thought secretly in his heart.

Maybe it was all a dream from the moment he got up.

When he turned his head, the idea shattered.

Because he saw the two men in black in his memory.

They stood beside the bed, their well-defined faces expressionless.

Wingate had a strange thought at this moment.

I wonder if the faces of the two men in black were carved out of stone.

Otherwise, how could there be no expression at all!!

"What have you done to me? What is the purpose? ”

"It's just a few psionic tricks." A man in black pulled out a piece of paper, "I'm an agent of the Time Court, number 3327, and this is my companion, number 6574. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Wingate shook his head, "I have to go to work, it's very ungodly to be late." ”

"You don't have to go, because we've already taken a leave of absence for you."

3327 flipped the datapad in his hand over.

Wingate recognized it as his databoard, which contained a leave of absence message he had sent, which had been approved by the supervisor.

"How can you make decisions for me like this!!" Wingate was a little annoyed, "Am I a prisoner?" Did I do anything that the Imperial Sacred Texts wouldn't allow? I prayed every day, worked diligently every day, and yet you came to me, stunned me without asking my opinion, and made decisions for me. I am a living person, I have my own personality and self-esteem. ”

"If you think I've hurt you, then I can apologize to you, but you have to trust that we didn't mean to toss you. You're involved in an important case, and you'll have to cooperate with us in our investigation, judging by the results of the hypnosis just now, you've been targeted by something. ”

When Wingate heard this, his heart sank.

He had some bad premonitions before, and now the other party's words obviously pierced his heart.

What bad luck!!

Why don't those damn things go to find other people, they have to come to themselves!!

"I will go to the church for help, I am a devout believer in the Emperor of God, a servant of His great cause, and He will protect me. Now, I'm going to work, and the God Emperor needs every one of his people to work hard. ”

"Partnering with us is the biggest job." Agent 3327 said, "We are the servants of the God Emperor, and we are here to help you solve this problem. Otherwise, it won't help you to go to church or find something else to help, because the enemies are not subspace creatures, and their methods are so stealthy that even psionics and blessed priests can't help you solve your problems. ”

Wingate looked at the two of them and weighed it in his heart.

Eventually, he sighed, "How can I help you?" Do not try to extract any money from me, I will not give it to you. I am an excellent employee of the company, a loyal believer of the God Emperor, once my life signal disappears, the law enforcement officers will immediately notice that there is a murder here, and none of you can escape. ”

There are a lot of similar scams within the empire.

The belief of the God Emperor has made many liars find opportunities, and they often cheat money and sex in the name of the God Emperor.

The state religion has been cracking down on them all along, and has repeatedly demanded that state religious personnel not accept money or property in private.

Those who cheat money and beauty in the name of the Emperor will be burned at the stake once caught, or tied to the mecha of the state religion and thrown into the battlefield to fight for the Emperor until the last moment.

The Atonement Mech is a piece of equipment that belongs exclusively to the State Religion.

It is necessary for the local law enforcement department and the administrative department to confirm that the prisoner has indeed committed the crime of committing an evil deed in the name of the God Emperor before such a capital punishment can be sentenced.

Inside the Atonement Mecha are numerous cables and chemicals that connect the prisoner's spine and brain.

Keep these prisoners in a state of extreme pain at all times.

Only by fighting for the God Emperor can you get short-term comfort.

"We don't need your money." Agent 3327 said, "The funding for the Time Court is provided by the government, you just need to cooperate with us. After the matter is resolved, you will also be properly compensated for the losses caused by this incident. ”

"What happened to me?" Wingate asked.

"We'll tell you when it's over."

"So what should we do?"

"Wait for other higher-level agents to come."

Wingate couldn't find any questions to ask.

The two Time Court agents did not speak.

They had been eerily silent.

Wingate felt a little unbearable to bear the silence, but in order to solve his own problems, he still suppressed his anger and waited for the other party's mouth of a higher-level agent.

Half an hour later, five more agents dressed in black arrived.

One of the middle-aged men was clearly their supervisor.

Because when he came, the two black-clad agents of the Time Court were saluting him.

"Agent 01, you can also call me Yuraj." The middle-aged man walked up to Wingate and introduced himself.

Wingate nodded, "I'm Wingate. Nathaniel, an ordinary pilot, a faithful follower of the God-Emperor. ”

"Each and every one of us is a faithful believer in Him, Mr. Wingate." Unlike the other black-clad agents, Yuraj smiled.

"What happened to me?" Wingate asked, "I hope to get an answer." ”

Wingate looked at Juraj with no fear in his tone.

He was a man of courage, not one of those powerful people who studied the Empire's human relations on a daily basis.

He didn't know what a big shot Yuraj was.

This is on an equal footing with the Imperial Councillors and Legion Commanders.

Of course, it's not just Wingate who doesn't know, but many powerful people who don't know about the time court, the psionic academy, and the demon hunting court will not know Yuraj's name.

He is a close confidant of Xu Fu, the founder of the Empire's transcendent system.

When Xu Fu was still in the Xinku District, studying the subspace rift, he had already followed Xu Fu.

Later, when Xu Fu was robbed of the origin of the Eternal by Qin Zheng and forced to join the Galactic Empire, Yuraj also joined the Galactic Empire and assisted Xu Fu in cultivating Bai Qi, Dante and other founders of the Empire's extraordinary institutions.

When Xu Fu began to prepare for the Time Court according to the secret order of the God Emperor, he was included in the list and became a Time 01 agent from then on.

Even if he knew, Wingate would not be afraid.

In this life, he has worked diligently, obeyed the laws of the empire and the teachings of the state religion, and never done evil.

Even if the other party killed him, he would be able to calmly enter the Heavenly Kingdom of the God Emperor.

Juraj glanced at Wingate, "Now is not the time to tell you, I'll tell you when the right opportunity comes." ”

Wingate felt a little frustrated, he had no idea what was going to happen to him.

"Let's get started." Yuraj looked at several of his colleagues.

Wingate's living room was emptied.

Some small instruments were brought in.

When everything was ready, Juraj looked at Wingate, pointing to the machine-fenced clearing.

"You stand there."

Wingate stood where the other man had allowed him to stand.

The instruments were intricately constructed, with various runes and prayers carved on their surfaces.

It's the result of a fusion of the occult and technology.

Wingate's education was not bad, but he could not understand the construction and design principles of these devices.

They no longer belong to the level of ordinary people's cognition.

The Temporal Court agents stood in a circle in front of the flashing lights.

Surrounded Wingate.

After doing all this, they reached out and activated the device on their body.

A faint ripple appeared in the air, and an invisible temporal force field enveloped them.

Everything outside the temporal force field has come to a standstill, and time has stopped flowing at this moment.

The sound faded away in an instant, and everything was quieter than ever.

Wingate felt a hint of discomfort.

The methods of these Time Court agents are simply amazing, how do they do it!!

Juraj saw the confusion on Wingate's face, but he didn't explain anything.

He took out a dagger.

The dagger's blade was covered with red blood that exuded a divine aura.

If anyone in the know is here, they will definitely exclaim, this is the dagger that once assassinated the God Emperor.

Able to pierce the armor and immortal body of the God Emperor, this dagger is naturally not an ordinary thing.

It contains powerful ritual powers.

It is able to cut through the skin of time and space, and even cut off certain causes and effects.

I don't know how this dagger fell into the hands of the Time Court, and I brought it here to solve this incident.

Wingate was a little frightened when he saw the dagger dangling.

I guess I'm going to kill myself!!

"Don't worry, you'll be fine."

After a few words of reassurance, Yuraj picked up the dagger and slashed at Wingate.

The dagger effortlessly slices through the skin, revealing an infinite dimension between reality and illusion.

Reality is like a complex structure that has been cut open to reveal a complex cross-section.

Time, space, matter, and other dimensions are all cut open.

Yuraj was patient, and he cut through layer by layer.

With his skill, a pitch-black and shapeless object was cut off like that.

It fell to the ground, squirming, trying to crawl into time, but time had stopped.

It's like fish swimming in a puddle of water that freezes on all sides.

It was trapped because the ice couldn't swim through.

Water comes in several forms, and so does time, and with a slight change, it can trap the creatures that live in it.

After a few moments, agents worked together to subdue the thing.

But none of them reached out to touch the strange creature.

In the process of subduing the strange creature, a device was touched, and in a very short time, half of the instrument quickly decayed and became rusty, and the other half became as new as if it had just left the factory.

The instrument's time is forward and backward at the same time, giving it this weird change.

Agent 3327 removed a special container from what he had brought.

The container was silvery white and covered in a dense and obscure pattern of strange runes and electromagnetic wiring.

When Agent 3327 activated the container, an invisible force field covered the container.

The space inside the container is in absolute stasis.

Inside, every elementary particle, every quark, every trace of energy is in absolute stagnation.

In another way, the space inside is dead.

Even if time is put in, it will die, trapped in the moment before it goes in.

The monstrous creature had been captured by a force field capture device, and only an invisible force field could reach them, and once humans, they would collapse and die as time went too fast to move forward and backward.

It's a very strange tactic, and it's hard to defend against.

The creature's temporal abilities do not react to the container, as time inside the container has stopped.

It's trapped inside.

After all of this was done, the agents shut down their devices, the temporal force field shattered, and everything returned to its original state.

The voice of isolation was heard again.

"Alright, settled, Mr. Wingate." Agent 3327 smiled as he looked at the green light on the container.

"What the hell is this?" Wingate asked again.

"The race of temporal creatures, the enemies of the court of time." Yuraj explained, "During the Human Alliance, they suspected that the Time Race was lurking among them, and after careful investigation, they finally found some clues. There are many races of temporal creatures, and they roam the existing time, sustaining themselves by devouring life time or by anomalous time fluctuations. There are some biological races that are part of the rules of the universe and are responsible for mending the rift of time, and there are other time races that intend to use time to control the fate of the universe. They wander the past, learning about the history, art, and culture of those races. ”

"I think it's ridiculous, time shouldn't be changed, otherwise the past will be modified." Wingate could not use his humble mind to think about the relationship between time, space, and so on.

Yuraj was silent for a moment, and he turned on a holographic projector.

A projection of a long river is shown.

Yuraj stretched out his hand and pointed to the river.

"Don't think of time as mysterious, for the real universe, the past is real, and the future is yet to appear. It is like a river, and human beings are the leaves on the river, which can only move passively and cannot swim against the current. And those time races are fish, and they are free to swim around. ”

"The past is where the river has arrived, and the future is where the river has not yet arrived, so the fish cannot reach the future because there is no water there, they can only swim in the past."

"As for the time paradox, there is no need to worry, the past is something that has already happened, and even if you travel from the future to change the past, you can't change what has already happened. The direction of the river of time can only be changed at the beginning, and when the river of time has passed, even if there is a means to change the direction of the river in the middle of the river, the old river will remain, and the creatures of the old river will slowly die.

"The mission of the Court of Time is to protect the past, to protect the river from large-scale changes, to ensure that the human race does not die like the creatures of the old river. If one day, the river of time is indeed changed, the Court of Time must also ensure that there is water from this old part of the river of the empire, which can propel time forward and allow the human race to continue to develop. ”

Wingate's face was full of shock.

He was shocked.

Originally, I thought that the empire only had those powerful technologies, the expeditionary force.

Who would have thought that in a place unknown to the general public, the empire still has such a mysterious power, protecting its own time.

The power of the empire may only be fully understood by those who stand at the top of the empire.

What others will be able to see is only the tip of the iceberg.

"You've survived a time event, proven your piety, and have the physique we want. I formally invite you to join the Court of Time, Mr. Wingate. ”

What!!

Gai Winter, who was already shocked, opened his mouth wide, thinking that he had misheard.

He was stunned for a moment before he opened his mouth to question.

"Really invite me to join such a mysterious organization?"

"There is no mystery about the court of time and time, you have to be aware of that correctly. Joining this organization does not give you access to supernatural powers. It's a dangerous job, and you can opt in so you can keep the memories alive. You can also say no, we will delete your memories to avoid our identity being revealed. ”

"I just can't believe I'm going to get an invite??"

Yuraj laughed.

"Time agents need to have time patience, otherwise the chaotic alternation of time and space will drive people crazy, and it just so happens that you have it, otherwise you won't be targeted by the Is. The second is proper psionic energy, you have a certain potential, although it is not obvious, but with a little training, you can also qualify. Third, you have been exposed to the time event and invite you to have no problem violating the confidentiality clause. If you invite someone else, once the other party leaks the information, you have to spend a lot of effort to deal with the aftermath, and you have to report it and hold you accountable. ”

"I'll have to think about it."

"We have a better salary, and we have the privilege of doing things. The most important thing is that most of our clerks are elegant and intellectual single women. ”

"It is my lifelong dream to serve the God Emperor."

At this moment, Wingate's face showed loyalty like never before.

"Welcome to the Court of Time, Mr. Wingate. Your resignation and compensation will be handled by a special person for you, to ensure all the rights and interests you are entitled to, you have three days to deal with personal matters, but you need to meet with people under the supervision of Time 3327 agents, so as not to say something you shouldn't say, and then to meet with a private person, you need a special report and approval. At the same time, Time Agent 3327 will act as your mentor to help you learn and master the basic skills of Time Agent. ”

Yuraj gave a hint of advice, and then left with the people.

Agent 3327 stayed behind to assist Wingate with his personal affairs.

After solving his own bad problems and unexpectedly getting a better-paying and more meaningful job, Wingate once felt that the God Emperor was really too good to him.

When the compensation for resignation arrived, he handled his personal affairs with great enthusiasm, just to report faster.

When he meets his friends and relatives, he has to control his desire to show off with great perseverance.

just tactfully told them that he was going to serve the God Emperor.

Three days flew by.

Agent 3327 took Wingate to the Time Court branch to onboard him.

"Your number-9527." The staff member glanced at the paper document in Wingate's hand, then walked inside and took out a neat set of uniforms and nameplates, and placed them in Wingate's hand, "Congratulations on becoming a member of the Time Court, the God Emperor protects you." ”

Wingate took the uniform with both hands, and behaved reverently.

This is not just a set of clothes, but also a heavy mission.

There are typos to correct, thank you big brothers for your support.

Seven thousand five, six thousand five, ten thousand fourteen, a thousand short, sorry.
