Chapter 164: The World Is Upside Down
One of the interesting things about time is that what happens in the future often doesn't affect the past.
It's like a river, a person in the upper reaches of the river can throw a drifting bottle and be picked up by the people downstream, but the person downstream has no way to convey information to the people in front of him by conventional means.
So the result is that even if the current and future people are about to hit out their brains, Chen Qing still doesn't know anything about it.
He's thinking about it now.
For him, Alice at this point in time has a higher priority.
Whether it is the Kunpeng tattoo or spiritual power, or the possibility of Alice herself as a great existence, it has added a lot of weight to Chen Qing's heart.
Therefore, he has made the decision to keep Alice.
But how to protect it is a problem.
He didn't know what era Alice would go to, so Chen Qing was a little hesitant at the moment.
It's a pity that in Pandia's time, the ancient mirror did not record the words between the White Mask and Pandya in the dark pit at that time. The mirror was picked up by the girl at the front desk of the inn at that time, so the information did not circulate to Chen Qing, and he naturally could not know that Alice was at this point in time.
And he also thinks that the extent to which he can interfere in this era is quite limited, because his main means of communication is still language, and the previous situation has confirmed that he has no way to communicate with Pandia and Logan.
So Chen Qing quickly skipped this point in time and went backwards.
And in the end, the time period he chose was that he hadn't landed for a long time......
The time node of the "Bounty King" under the mountain.
The reason why this place was chosen was because this time period was the closest time to the cataclysm that Chen Qing knew.
On the other hand, there is also an Alice here, and she happens to be an apostle.
From the previous time, Chen Qing thought that Alice's name might have a certain mystery.
He'd met three Alices so far, and the person who called her name probably had something special about it.
And the girl at this time under the mountain is undoubtedly one of the "origins" that Chen Qing currently knows.
So for Chen Qing, this is a clue.
However, Chen Qing also understands that this clue may not allow him to find people.
But it's not a big problem.
That era was before Li Changsheng's god generation, and also after the cataclysm, and it was the time period when great beings were most likely to appear. The previous radiation monitor lizard proved this, and it was still possible for the Great Being to come out and move during that time period.
It's not like the future, these guys who are beyond human sense are basically not moving.
Except for the time when Kunpeng showed a certain abnormality, other times it was no different from death.
Therefore, if you want to get information about the great existence of "Alice", it is best to use the time node that Yamashita is in.
That's it.
Chen Qing no longer hesitated, and pressed his hand directly on the mirror.
The ripples in the mirror flowed, and the pollution belonging to the ancient mirror began to spread in another world.
This kind of polluting power has appeared many times before, so Chen Qing didn't take it to heart, just regarded it as a pure "boot animation".
Only this time it may be for some other reason.
There are some people who seem to be attracted to this pollution.
Towards somewhere.
Everything happens in the shadows.
The person who held the ancient mirror, neither Chen Qing nor the apostle was aware of this.
When the mirror is completely blurred.
The distorted, foggy image slowly reveals its contents.
In Chen Qing's perspective, a vague figure is reflected in the mirror.
There is no doubt that Gu Jing has made contact with the people of the future this time.
This made Chen Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
He was still a little worried about whether some problems that occurred in the "past" would lead to certain changes in the future.
After all, before this, his ancient mirror had been imprisoned by space, resulting in the inability to communicate with future people, so he was also a little worried about whether he would encounter this situation in the future.
But now it seems that this is pure unfounded worry.
The ancient mirror has not changed much, and after that, I can still contact other people.
Everything didn't seem out of the ordinary, very calm and logical.
The man in the mirror was still praying to the mirror.
Chen Qing could hear her prayers.
It was a prayer with no direction, no purpose, little demand, just a routine prayer.
In Chen Qing's view, this is no different from those religious "thank the Lord for giving me food".
It also made him a little confused.
For no one had ever done such an obvious act akin to "religion" before.
You must know that the prayers of the apostles before this were very clear, they wanted to exchange knowledge from Chen Qing, so they would not talk too much nonsense.
At least Chen Qing had never heard anyone pray in the past to thank him for giving him delicious food and warm clothes.
This made him vaguely aware of something unusual.
It seems that for some reason, the perception of the "Lord of Truth" in the future has changed to a certain extent.
The change is obvious.
So far, Chen Qing has created a "practical", "pragmatic", and "covenant-abiding" character design, and for such an existence, similar cumbersome etiquette is very cumbersome.
He often shows the side of me that I can give back as much as you give me. If you are loyal to me, then I will protect you.
It will not be like those mythical gods, who follow red tape and act like a high aristocrat.
"Is it because of the previous academy?"
Chen Qing muttered to himself: "Because I plan to promote the belief in the Lord of Truth in the academy, after the changes of the times, people's perception of the Lord of Truth has gradually moved towards the direction of religion?" ”
It's not impossible.
Chen Qing understands very well that any splash in the upper reaches of the river can turn into stormy waves in the lower reaches.
But what hasn't happened in the past, this time it happened......
Still made him vaguely aware that something was not quite right.
Unfortunately, he had no way of knowing more, so he had to keep it all down for the time being.
After a moment of silence, Chen Qing slowly poured his Qi into the mirror.
With his movements, the entire mirror glowed softly.
In the past, this represented the Lord of Truth giving His followers a response.
If it was normal, then the apostles should have asked new questions of Him.
This time, however, things have taken a subtle turn.
"Ah......h
Chen Qing heard a somewhat hoarse voice: "It's bright." ”
He wasn't too unfamiliar with the voice.
Although the voice of the ancient mirror will be distorted in some way, at least it can still be heard as belonging to the original owner of the sound. For example, Li Changsheng's voice would be a little thicker, while Qi Lu's voice would be full of vitality.
As for the voice he heard now, it was a little weak.
This voice belongs to Alice, the Alice of the past.
Therefore, the current holder of the ancient mirror is still Alice, the girl who is the same age as Yamashita.
This made Chen Qing breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was about to say something, but the next second.
"Looks like it's working?"
Another familiar voice came: "Let me see, is it still used?" ”
This voice directly made Chen Qing stunned in place.
Because if he didn't hear it right.
Right now, this voice appears next to Alice......
When you talk to her, there is almost no difference!
Of course, if self-study sounds like a little different.
It's just that this difference gives people a rather strange feeling.
It seems that one is a little thinner, and the other is ...... Coarse.
This made Chen Qing a little puzzled.
What the situation.
Is this the appearance of two Alices?
With such thoughts, he subconsciously chose to shut up and choose to watch quietly.
A moment later.
The person who appeared first held the mirror.
Two distorted figures are then reflected in the mirror.
"Great Lord."
Two voices chanted softly in exactly the same voice.
This situation sounds very strange.
It's like standing in a valley and shouting, and then hearing an echo from a mountain stream, a voice that is very similar to yours, but noticeably slower by half a beat, mingles together to form an eerie "ensemble".
Like a symphony.
"Listen to the call of your most devout believers."
There is no difference in this sentence, it is just one before and one after.
But after that, the prayer went a little off.
"I pray for your gaze / I pray for your coming."
Two voices, one in front of the other, chanted in a strange tone.
"Give me the wisdom to destroy my enemies and bring to justice my old enemy, the most heinous of crimes."
"Please give me the strength to shred my enemies and tear my old enemy, that rebellious creature to shreds."
The two voices grew in pitch.
"Your most devout devotee, Alice, pray for the gaze/advent of the Great Lord of Truth/Lord of War!"
Listen to these slightly different, but very similar words.
Chen Qing only felt as if something was crawling slowly down his spine behind him.
He felt a ...... like never before Fear.
"What the hell is going on?" Chen Qing muttered to himself in his heart, "Why are there two prayers, and why, these two prayers appear almost parallelly?" ”
This situation was beyond his knowledge.
Two identical voices, the apostles he knew, would pray to the two beings?
And the other object of prayer turned out to be the warlord?!
Of course, Chen Qing knew who the so-called war lord was.
This must be his transcendent vest, as he had previously obtained a position on war from the Apocalypse!
However, he should not have exposed this.
Otherwise, Apocalypse should have come out to find him by now.
Great beings are able to transcend time, and if the Apocalypse knew at some point that the Warlord and the Lord of Truth were one person, then they would inevitably move in their favor right now.
But Chen Qing didn't feel any of the aura leaking from the apocalypse.
Moreover, he does not think that his future self will be exposed.
He's not that stupid yet.
So, since it is unlikely that he was exposed.
So why did this guy have two different prayers?
Chen Qing had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
In order to say more and make more mistakes, he did not continue to respond to Alice's call.
He intended to get more intelligence and information from the girl.
After waiting for a long time.
Two voices sounded one after the other again: "It's strange, I obviously felt the mirror respond to me before." ”
"What's going on with that guy now? Or is there any imprisonment? ”
This time, the voices of the two men were not much different from before.
Later, Chen Qing heard the sound of the mirror being lowered.
Alice looked in the mirror and sighed softly.
"It's been so long," she whispered, "it's been a long time since I saw the radiant monitor lizard in the mirror." ”
"Could it be that I lost my apostleship because of the problems under the mountain? Because of that guy, I was given up by that guy? ”
Whispering, Alice's hand pressed lightly against the mirror.
The two mudras appear to overlap.
It's just that Chen Qing noticed that although they overlapped, there was a slight gap between the two handprints.
One is a little bigger, a little smaller.
The difference between this situation and the thickness of the previous two voices made him frown.
Faintly, a guess came to his mind.
But the speculation was so strange that he still didn't know for sure.
And in the mirror, Alice was still muttering to herself.
"That disaster is also related to me, so I won't run away from it no matter what."
"Yamashita got the information to liberate the radiant monitor lizard because of me, and if it weren't for me, that guy wouldn't have had anything to do with the radiation monitor lizard."
Alice spoke softly: "So, even if it is to atone for your sins, I will surely chase you to the ends of the earth." ”
"My father/mother!"
Two subtle gaps arise again.
And with this sound, something was penetrated in Chen Qing's mind.
The abnormality he had felt before was unveiled at this moment.
"The sound is thick and thin, and the palm is big and small, this is because of the most basic difference in physiology."
"Even two people who are exactly the same can have other changes because of hormones."
Looking at the mirror in front of him, Chen Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of horror.
"So, the two Alices I saw, one was male and the other was female!"
That's why the two of them are so similar, but with some differences.
But it's impossible?!
How is it possible that there can be two beings who are only gender-different......
Just when Chen Qing was puzzled in his heart.
The Kunpeng tattoo on his palm suddenly lit up.
After a moment, he felt the picture in front of him change slightly.
As if he had been lifted to a higher latitude, his perspective appeared high in the sky.
Then the whole world fell.
It's a strange feeling.
It's like a person who was originally standing high in the sky was suddenly turned over by a mirror.
Falls from a great height to the ground, then crosses the water, and then returns to its original position.
A moment later, when he recovered again, the man was back in place.
Just as everything before was nothing more than an illusion on his part, nothing had changed.
He was still standing there, holding the ancient mirror.
"Strange ......"
Chen Qing patted his head lightly.
He glanced around.
I don't know why, he always felt that something was different.
But he couldn't say it.
With such a thought in his mind, Chen Qing suddenly heard a somewhat shrill voice.
"It's time to eat!"
The voice said.
Then, there was a knock on Chen Qing's door.
"Mr. Chen," Qi Sixian's voice sounded, "are you going to eat now, or are you waiting?" ”
Listen to the voice.
Chen Qing subconsciously put the mirror in his hand: "I'll wait a minute...... Well? ”
He looked at Qi Siqian a little strangely: "Do you have a cold, why is your voice like this?" ”
His super perception made him sense that something was not quite right with Qi Sixian's voice.
Outside the door, Qi Siqian was also a little dazed: "No, I don't have it?" ”
This was followed by the sound of rustling clothes.
Then, the voice of the holy envoy also sounded: "What's wrong with that guy?" And that little boy went in for so long and didn't come out? ”
Listen to the voice.
Chen Qing frowned again.
How did the voice of the Holy Envoy become a little high-pitched?
What is the virus? He hid the mirror, thought to himself, and stood in the doorway and opened the door to Alice's house.
"You ...... Well?! ”
The next second.
Chen Qing's voice instantly raised.
He looked at the two men at his door, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You ......"
Chen Qing's expression flashed with a hint of astonishment.
"Who is it?"
In front of him.
A little girl dressed like the front desk of an inn, and a girl who looked a little weak, were looking at him.
Tilting his head, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.
"Mr. Chen? I'm Qi Sixian. The weak girl said.
The other woman was a little impatient: "What are you crazy about?" ”
Listen to the voice.
Chen Qing subconsciously took a step back.
He glanced at the ancient mirror he had placed in the mezzanine.
For the first time, he felt his fingers tremble slightly.
What's the situation?
I remembered how I felt before.
Chen Qing gently pressed his head.
The expression was a little shocked.
"The world is upside down?"
