Hunt

Early morning of September 20, 2024.

There were thunder and lightning outside the apartment. 30 was drunk and didn't notice that the small robot ornament on his desk was flashing an inconspicuous arc of light.

He wrote letters to himself 10 years ago, 10 years later, and to the 26-year-old who made the important decision, but he was still not satisfied.

30 picked up his phone and mumbled, somewhat bored and drunkenly, "I've already written the letter, how about giving it a try?"

30 leaned over the table, picked up his phone and punched in his own number: "This is for my 21-year-old self."

Drop~

A polite female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy."

30 hung up and dialed again: "This is for 22-year-old..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy."

…

What 30 didn't notice was that every time he made a phone call, an arc of electricity broke through the barrier of time and space, and the space around him became more distorted.

This change accumulated until a qualitative change occurred when he made the eighth call.

"Next, it's time to call my past self..." 30 was still unaware.

"Hello, you... you dial... you..."

"Hey, what's going on? Signal? It shouldn't be that serious..."

The familiar system sound in the phone suddenly became jittery and stuck, which aroused the bored 30's interest.

Logically speaking, after the communication base station returns a busy signal to the user, it will call up the pre-recorded voice file. No matter which step is stuck during this period, the voice playback step should not be stuck.

30 was about to record this strange phenomenon for research, but he didn't notice that a black hole flashing with arcs of electricity was approaching him.

"Why does this chair keep sliding backwards?"

30 looked back and was immediately startled. "What the hell! What's going on?"

He grabbed the table and tried to jump up, but in his panic he only grabbed the small robot model ornament on the table.

Then, 30 and the chair were sucked into the black hole and fell into the deadly sea of ​​time and space.

There is no concept of time in the vast ocean of time and space.

After being ravaged by the violent energy of space and time, 30 was covered in wounds and drifted like a rag doll in a small, rare, peaceful sea of ​​space and time.

His limbs were twisted abnormally, and even his left calf was left with only bones and scattered flesh and blood, looking very miserable.

From the occasional twitching of 30's body, it can be seen that he is still alive. The small robot in his hand is emitting a fluorescent light and trying its best to maintain his vital signs.

However, this couldn't last long, as 30's consciousness was fading.

Seeing that 30's life signs were getting weaker and weaker, the light from the little robot followed 30's hands holding the body and moved all over his body to repair his body, and gradually merged with him.

When 30's injuries were completely healed, the little robot's light disappeared and it turned back into an ordinary model.

"Where am I?" 30 woke up, but was confused by his surroundings.

"This is the Sea of ​​Time and Space." A childish and weak voice came from 30's mind.

30 was startled by the sudden voice: "Who are you?"

"Hello, Forest. My name is Yuanyuan, a new type of intelligent being that can sense emotions..."

Through communication with Yuanyuan, 30 learned that Yuanyuan was from the future in 2034. He was seriously damaged during the time jump and his self-awareness almost disappeared.

But fortunately, during this period, it produced a strange fusion with the energy of time and space, and its self-awareness was retained.

As a result, some changes, or evolutions, have occurred that even it itself cannot fully understand.

Therefore, the current Yuanyuan is not a pure intelligent entity, and it itself cannot clearly explain what it is.

30 The accident was partly due to the fact that it was seriously injured and not yet fully conscious, and was unable to control its energy.

When Yuanyuan woke up and realized something was wrong, it was too late.

30 is dying, and Yuanyuan can only save 30 by re-fusion.

This fusion is irreversible. To some extent, 30 and Yuanyuan now have a symbiotic relationship of two lives. If something happens to one, the other will not survive.

However, it is not without benefits. Because of this fusion, Yuanyuan's self-awareness, which was originally severely damaged, has been completely restored, and his mind has also grown rapidly.

If it was originally just a newborn baby, it is now a seven or eight-year-old child.

As a result, 30's body has undergone some strange changes. He can use his time and space abilities without the help of any equipment and can travel through different times and spaces.

He can also walk in the sea of ​​time and space with his flesh and blood body, and those violent energies will only serve as his nourishment and will not cause him any harm.

But before he could fully adapt to the change, an accident happened.

"Hand over the intelligent entity!" A dangerous armed man appeared in front of him.

"Sen Lin, find a chance to run, these people are chasing me, you can't beat them," Yuan Yuan said anxiously in 30's mind.

30 responded helplessly in his mind: "I know I can't beat him without you telling me. He has a gun in his hand."

Faced with such a dangerous person, 30's strategy was to play dumb: "What intelligent entity? Where is this?"

"Hand over the robot in your hand!"

"Don't...don't do it. Here...here. I bought this online. I don't know what it is."

30 He looked terrified and secretly prepared to strike back at any time.

The man took the robot, but found something wrong: "Why are you able to go into the ocean of time and space without protective gear?"

Bang!

The little robot exploded and 30 took the opportunity to escape.

Under the pressure of crisis, 30 mastered various abilities at an extremely fast speed, but at the same time he was constantly hunted by that force.

At first, those people were planning to force the whereabouts of the 30 intelligent agents, but later the intelligent agents stopped asking and planned to kill them to silence them when they met them.

Bian Senlin didn't know the reason for this change. At first, he and Yuan Yuan could only escape in a panic. Later, after they had gained some strength to fight back, they designed several counterattacks before they were able to catch their breath.

Then he came to 2020.

He wanted to stop his 26-year-old self from making that decision, but he could never make up his mind. He just looked again and again until he saw his 20-year-old self.

"The last time I met you, I had just escaped from their encirclement. You wanted me to go with you right away. Of course I thought you were in cahoots with those people, not to mention that you had been chasing me for several time and space."

30 He crossed his arms and said unhappily to Chen Lie.

"Do you know who is chasing you?" Wei Li asked in a deep voice.

A childish voice answered Wei Li's question: "They belong to that bad guy Han Zhe."

Everyone present looked at 30, because the voice that did not belong to any of them came from 30.

30 took out his phone and said, "This is Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan and I are inseparable, and Yuanyuan can't use my body to speak.

Currently, I am the only one who can hear Yuanyuan's voice. If Yuanyuan wants to speak to the outside world, he can only use other devices."

"Oh~" Shen Lie's voice dragged out for a long time: "Is this the culprit that caused all these accidents, that intelligent entity?"

"You are the culprit!" Yuanyuan got furious when he heard this.

“If you are not the culprit, then it is Chen Yuan?”

Yuanyuan was anxious: "Don't say bad things about my dad, my dad is not a bad person!"

Chen Lie was addicted to teasing: "But it was because your father went to great lengths to send you back in time that such a big accident happened, wasn't it?"

"You!" Yuan Yuan was furious.

"Okay!" Wei Li interrupted this meaningless sorting in time.

He looked at Yuan Yuan and asked the key question: "What about that Han Zhe you mentioned?"
