Chapter 234 Play and Speculation (Part 1)
Chu Xiuyan hadn't seen the ruined city at night for a long time. To be precise? A busy city.
The streets and alleys are full of vendors. Compared with the modern cities with heavy traffic and a sense of technology, the style here is more like a large night market held in the town. There are no cars on the streets, colorful lights are hung on the eaves, the elderly are holding their children, couples are holding hands, and strangers are walking arm in arm from the beginning to the end of the street, almost familiar enough to recognize each other as close friends.
The only problem is that there are always people stealing. Although there are patrols to maintain order, there are still people who take chances.
Chu Xiuyan caught three of them, and threw them onto the roof amid their screams, then whistled and followed the group of acquaintances as if nothing had happened.
The patrol team behind them quickly put the ladder on the wall and carefully climbed up to the roof. Halfway up, a patrol member with an obviously immature face suddenly jumped forward and caught the thief who was trying to jump off the building to escape, and shouted excitedly: "Captain, I caught him!"
On one side of the house, the patrol captain was lying on his back with a fallen ladder on his body, raising his thumb towards the roof with difficulty, and then giving a thumbs up with difficulty, "Good job."
He successfully kicked over the ladder and killed his superior.
The onlookers nearby understood the hidden meaning of this statement and burst into laughter.
The patrol team that caught the thief on the roof was new? The person was unknown? So, but still? Scratched his head shyly and laughed along?
The laughter from behind attracted Chu Xiuyan's attention.
He looked back a few times, but there were so many people behind him that he couldn't see clearly what was happening.
But he met the gaze of Wu Gaoyuan who was knitting a sweater.
Chu Xiuyan's gaze slowly moved downwards, focusing on the thing in Wu Gaoyuan's hand.
Wu Gaoyuan, who was walking and knitting clothes with colorful balls of yarn, lowered his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Don't look at me with such strange eyes, I'm just knitting new clothes for the children at home."
"Where did your child come from?" Chu Xiuyan asked curiously.
"My furry children." Wu Gaoyuan replied, his hands did not stop moving at all, and seemed to be moving faster.
“…”
Chu Xiuyan cleverly looked away. Following him were Xuan Wu, a member of the "head-down tribe" who was addicted to games, the lion boss who was laughing and leaving with the crowd but was threatened by Zai Zhe with a knife, and Wan Mingxu who was sitting in the dark corner staring at the fortune teller.
as well as……
Chu Xiuyan looked forward. Zhang Chun was facing away from him, with an aura that was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere. He used a serious tone as if he was in a meeting in a conference room to summarize the follow-up situation of the elimination of the ocean threat in the past two days.
"Harris is the Dream God of the past. In countless flashbacks, he saved the memories before his complete death and left them to himself who will become the Dream God again in the future, that is, this time. Therefore, he is more proficient in how to use and control the power of dreams. Unfortunately, those past memories are not complete, and I still cannot know the whole truth. Yesterday, he took us to the depths of dreams, and I saw the Ocean God, but unfortunately, He refused to talk to me."
Chu Xiuyan stared at Zhang Chun's back and yawned.
Zhang Chun continued in a low voice: "But I met the Sky God. Unexpectedly, He was not surprised by the outcome of the Ocean God. Instead, He looked relieved."
"I asked Him the reason, and He gave the following explanation: He didn't want the Ocean God to perish completely, but He also didn't like Him to continue to be active in the world. The overly close relationship made both parties regard each other as personal property, so that He lost his freedom from the moment He was born, so He sought liberation, but refused to see his loved ones disappear completely. From this statement, the Sky God's emotions were too abundant. Perhaps it came from the Ocean God's obsession with a certain goal that he had insisted on for a long time, which distorted his own thoughts and changed the thoughts of the half-god because of the obsession... So, the half-god born from the same tree of origin has a desire for freedom. Perhaps the Ocean God himself also has a desire to liberate himself from his obsession, which he himself doesn't even know about?"
Chu Xiuyan yawned again, his eyes gradually losing focus as he stared at Zhang Chun's back. The illogical echo of "Aba Aba Aba" played in his mind on a loop.
Then he saw a stall selling stuffed animals.
He dropped out of the team.
Wu Gaoyuan continued to knit sweaters, Xuanwu continued to play games, Lion Lao Da had mysteriously disappeared, Zai Zhe also set up a stall to sell palm-sized coffin toys, and next to him were the members of the Tianxu team who they met on the road, helping their captain with tears in their eyes.
When Zhang Chun was thinking, he would always unconsciously isolate himself from the outside noise. At this time, the topic in his mouth had shifted from the Ocean God and the Sky God to the economic cooperation and strategic alliance plan between the ruined city and the island. There was also a desert next door, so they needed more time to discuss the details. The good news was that Harris had a high impression of the ruined city and agreed to open the dream channel anytime and anywhere to carry people to all parts of the world - except the northwest.
"Speaking of the northwest, the intelligence we have compiled needs to be updated. The world will be reversed at the end of the world, and [Time and Space] with the ability to reverse, [Blood Mist] where all things in the world originate, and [Ice Field] with the home advantage are all in the northwest base. Their plan is to consume all the energy of this world in exchange for the ascension of all mankind to God, and the price is countless natural disasters. But I can't be sure, what is forcing them to be so hasty, almost as if time is catching up, constantly conducting experiments and trying, constantly retracing time and space, just to achieve the only result of [All Humanity Becoming Gods]."
Yes, panic, or? , fear.
Like? Like something is chasing me.
At first Zhang Chun did not realize this, but after further contact with Harris, he obtained information about what happened at the end of the world in the previous dozens of flashbacks.
Tsunamis, collapse of the sky and crack of the earth, sea of sand, etc., countless natural disasters ravaged the world, but mankind was not completely destroyed. In other words, after the natural disasters, there is still the possibility of "surviving humans rebuilding order in the ruins". But the Northwest Base seemed to have wiped out this future in advance, and directly went back to the past, and continued the plan of "all mankind ascending to God" in the world after the backtracking.
Can't understand.
He was missing the most crucial piece of the puzzle.
Zhang Chun had a headache thinking about it, and then he thought of Yun Yan. The boy's life experience was a mystery. If he was really a visitor from the outside world, everything would be explained. Then everything that happened in this world should not involve him. [Blood Mist] There is the uncle he mentioned, but what about the elders on Yun Yan's side? Didn't any of them notice the abnormality of the boy?
Still? Yes? Say? ...
Yunyan's crossing was not? An accident?
The moment this thought came to mind, things that were ignored by the subconscious began to appear, and it was as if a line emerged in the mind, connecting countless clues.
Yun Yan possesses the ability to travel back in time.
When he was confronting Blood Mist, he went deep into his soul and talked to the projection of the memory of the Earth in the past. The other party asked him if Spacetime was complete or broken, and said that he accidentally split Spacetime in half in the past.
[Blood Mist] has a close relationship with the "Doctor", the ruler of the Northwest Base, and they are suspected to be close relatives. Some time ago, the Doctor showed the ability of [Time and Space], and [Blood Mist] and [Time and Space] have a harmonious relationship - and this is completely contrary to the information that Yunyan got after repelling the second generation of Desert Gods who invaded the Desert Kingdom, that "[Blood Mist] and [Time and Space] have a bad relationship"!
Zhang Chun covered his head and felt unstable.
Assuming his guess is correct, then who knows how long ago, he, who was still in the Earth, split the entire Spacetime into two halves, one half was controlled by the doctor in the Northwest Base, and the other half traveled through time and space to find another world... Yunyan?
So based on this, could it be that [Wild Dog] Mingji's travel through parallel time and space is to find the real Yunyan?!
Zhang Chun felt his scalp tingling. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was not low. He turned around quickly, "Yun Yan, you——"
He saw a magnified picture of a dog-like hood, with big black eyes full of innocence.
Zhang Chun took off his hood, revealing the silly grinning face of the lion master.
“Hahaha, what a surprise!”
The lion boss, who hadn't finished laughing yet, was slapped to the ground.
"Huh?"
Confused, Mr. Lion covered his face with his hands, looking at Zhang Chun who was walking back in a hurry as if he was looking for someone, "What is he doing?"
Still? Wu Gaoyuan, who was knitting a sweater, said without raising his head? "Maybe it's another time? He thought of something and scared himself."
Zai Zhe, who sold a bunch of palm-sized coffins, walked over slowly and said slowly? "Not again? Once or twice, every time? He thinks of a problem, and tries to solve it by himself. If he can't solve it, he gets depressed and annoys everyone. In the end? Not? He reveals things to us like squeezing toothpaste, seeks our help, and swears that there won't be a next time, but then he turns around and forgets it completely like a fart."
Lion? Big: "Hahahahahaha!"
Zai Zhe looked at the sweater in Wu Gaoyuan's hand and asked suddenly, "Knit one for me too."
Wu Gaoyuan still didn't raise his head: "Are you? My dog?"
Zai Zhe: "I can make custom coffins for your whole family."
Wu Gaoyuan: "Thanks, but? Get away from me."
Lion? Big: "Hahahahaha!"
Xuan Wu, who was addicted to playing games, looked up blankly. A few steps away were the Lion Master and the others. He did not get separated, and Wan Mingxu, who was originally asking a fortune teller to read his palm, sat in the master's seat for some reason and told the fortune teller's fortune with an expressionless face.
Xuan Wu: “…Hmm?”
…
Where did Zhang Chun finally find Chu Xiuyan? By the river.
There were several wooden boats with lanterns on the river, and the young man was jumping back and forth on the boards of these boats, steadily.
The wooden boat showed no sign of shaking, and the people on board were clapping enthusiastically, asking if they could take people out to play.
When Zhang Chun was sprinting towards them in a wooden boat at a speed of 100 meters, Chu Xiuyan had just gotten tired of playing. When passing the bridge, he jumped directly onto the bridge. Then he lowered his head and saw Zhang Chun passing slowly under the bridge in a boat. The atmosphere froze for a moment.
For some reason, Chu Xiuyan felt as if something was strange. He pondered for a moment and said confidently: "Uncle, are you? Did you secretly participate in a rowing competition? Don't worry, I will vote for you!"
Zhang Chun: “…”
He said? : "Come down here."
