Chapter 206: Coming to stagger
This was an outcome that no one expected.
Pope Paul knows Leon in more detail than everyone else, but about Leon's experience before using the gene crystal card, the Eye of God does not pay attention to it, in this era, in this world, there are too many abandoned orphans and wandering mercenaries, and the reason why Leon is special is that in the eyes of the Space Council, it is entirely because he picked up the black forehead.
And Leon, after quietly accepting Paul's proposal, walked back to the monastery alone with a calm face, and in the small central square of the monastery, in addition to the three nervous bishops, and the black forehead and the firebird who were too calm, there was also a person waiting for him. When Leon saw that figure from a distance, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart, this time, he seemed to be about to bring a change in the fate of a woman, so that she could face a grim and uncertain future, that was the captain of the Dragoon, Sivir.
Since Xavier escorted Zhang Yaxuan away a few days ago, Leon has not seen her again, and a sudden series of events made Leon deliberately shield the beautiful and promising night in his memory, and he had to choose to lose his trust, and he had to abandon the woman who was desperate and soothed his empty heart with tenderness. Now, however, Paul himself had Sivir brought to him and made a cruel and seductive offer.
Leon looked at the dazed-looking Sivir, knowing that her memory had been partially altered, yes, that was the word Paul was talking about: revision. As Leon learned more about the axis space and the time beacon, it was determined that Sivir and Blackfront's memories had been placed in the ancient time travel machine in advance, as it was absolutely impossible for them to be teleported back to their origins as individuals. Fortunately, Paul and the bishops of the Eye of God knew nothing about this, and they simply erased Sivir's memory of Lyon, and the Pope was proud to say that this memory modification technique has played a decisive role in history.
"Love is the same as hatred, loss will make people better" Paul's words still echoed in Leon's ears, which made Leon can't help but close his eyes again, he had to adjust his state to face the serious and proud Dragoon Captain, Sivir.
From now on, as the liaison of the military, Leon will be responsible for the weapon support of Leon and his party in another axis space, Leon has the opportunity to see the image of Sivir faintly flashing in the time stream, and communicate with her through a special communication channel, but they will hardly see each other again in this life, the time burden is irreversible, and Leon will never return to the current point. In order not to have any personal incidents, Sivir was modified, and they pulled all memories of Leon from her brain as if they were a mechanical being.
In exchange, Paul reveals to Leon the whereabouts of another woman.
When Leon heard the name of Showmore from Paul's mouth, he agreed to the arrangement for Sivir with little hesitation.
It's a cruel, but seemingly tender, proposition, with Show Moore being bait, tempting to wait for Leon to die at some point in the flow of time, and Sivir as a hostage, staying outside the Tower of Time to restrain any of Leon's ambitions.
The Eye of God used two women to get this only golden apostle in a hundred years.
And Lyon sank willingly.
He knew very well that even if he did not agree to this plan, Sivir would have lost his future, and the moment they embraced, this woman was destined to become a victim, and now, she could at least forget about herself, live well, and become a key figure in the whole plan, which made her chances of survival a few points higher.
Then, Leon will go to find the source of his pain - Xiu Moore. In Paul's proposed plan, Xiu Moore would be his guide, and of course, the strong hot woman would not remember her romance with Leon at all.
As a joke, Paul named the project "Staggered," meaning that only Lyon understood best.
The next day, in the year 113 of the Falling Moon Era, 20 days before New Year's Day, Leon will enter the flow of time with his two fire companions, the Black Forehead and the Firebird, to be thrown as a time burden to be transported five hundred years from the present to begin the "Staggered Plan".
The preparation of the night before was tedious and full of pain, the detection of various biological indicators and the infusion of encrypted memory, all of which gave the three of them a deep understanding of the extreme of pain, and after that, there was endless task guidance.
The coffin-like slender box, called "Furoshiki", was black and inconspicuous, but it contained a variety of state-of-the-art life-support equipment, and was able to effectively prevent most of the damage caused by the flow of time to the human body, and instilled the necessary memories designed into the mind of each apostle during the long time travel. The most important point is that after reaching the historical point in time, this box will accompany the apostles for the rest of their lives, and the cell damage caused during the jump can be repaired in the nutrient solution inside the box, however, the effect is not permanent, depending on the degree of damage of each person, they need to lie down in it for a few days from time to time, and the advantage is that they can almost forever maintain their youthful appearance.
"If you lose the box, you lose your life, you must remember this, besides, with your mind and physique, you were almost superhuman in that era, understand?
This was followed by the voice of San Juan,
"You all know that the time point displayed in the time beacon is absolutely accurate, but the location is beyond our control, so the place you arrive at may be a metropolis or a desert, but the detectors over there will definitely find you in time, don't doubt the power of the organization, even if you fall into the lava or trench, the organization will fish you out in time, so don't make any extra moves before the furoshiki is opened, and wait quietly inside to ensure absolute safety."
Hugh Grant went on to say:
"'Organization' is the word, and you must keep in mind that no other name will appear in the mouth of your guide, and those who contact you by other names will not hesitate to kill, and those who jump through certain hostile axes will do everything they can to distract you, interfere with your actions, and even kill you when they fail to achieve their goals."
"So, strike first," Huang Zifang said fiercely, "That era was not better than now, maybe worse"
Time flowed rapidly in this chattering exhortation, until the beginning of the morning sun.
The ceremony began.
Leon was disdainful of this ritual, he had listened carefully to Locke Dorge's description, and was full of ridicule at the gap between this pretentious prayer and the ultimate goal, but this time the ritual was not shortened by Leon's disdain, but became more solemn and *. Because it was the first time that Pope Paul personally participated in the "Lighthouse Prayer", and it was also the first time that there was a special golden apostle like Lyon to make a space jump.
It was very rare for Paul to sit in his place in advance, but the three Leon were the last to appear in the "Reliquary" square, but Paul was not impatient at all, he looked at the three young men who walked into the altar, and the corners of his mouth even raised slightly.
Leon was slightly surprised by the colorful light clusters and the changing images, because the holy object he had seen in the other direction was only a stubborn stone, and after the ritual began, the thick pillar had become like a transparent crystal, and it was constantly spewing multicolored air masses over the square. And the image inside began to become clearer, and Leon secretly speculated that the time of the original ritual was calculated, and they had to perform this ritual at a certain time before it was possible to send themselves to the predetermined location.
This is really a "holy relic" like a mystery.
The long, dreary, interjection-filled prayer was finally completed, Leon and the Black Forehead and the Firebird were stripped of their robes, they were all naked and shaved like Lolita ten days ago, the apostles could not bring anything superfluous, things that did not belong to the past would have too much influence on history, and the less protein consumables such as hair, the better, their journey was really long.
For those on the other side of the lighthouse, and for those on the other side of the given time, the apostle's jump in the flow of time is only a moment, but in fact, for those of Leon who lie in the box, it is an extremely long process, the senses will experience the flow of time, maybe a year, maybe twenty or fifty years, and later, even every second becomes incomparably longer, the cells soaked in the nutrient solution may not age, but the mind and senses will be tormented by the years, making the mind old. Although there are many time-consuming things to be done in the baggage, all the entertainment of mankind, all the history, all the scientific civilization, but that loneliness is incomprehensible.
Many people are unbearable in this lonely drifting process, and then become crazy or stupid, when the induction device in the furoshiki discovers this abnormality, it will quickly dissolve the human body, and such a box will become a "garbage package", forever lost in the flow of time.
Over the past hundred years, this garbage has been discarded countless times.
When all the risks were clearly explained, Leon lay down in the black box, and when his light braincase touched the pillow in the box, a small beam of light was projected from all directions, which were brain wave probes, and any overly excited or depressed brain activity would be recorded by these probes.
A groggy feeling gradually rose, the box began to close, and the last thing Leon heard in his mind was the brainwave of the black forehead:
"See you over there"
That would probably be the only sentence he would remember for decades to come.
