Chapter 290 Time and Space Fluctuation
The time portal world where Lin Wu is located is: Dark 2049.1.03.
Each different time portal world has its own different rules. For example, the rules for obtaining clues and rewards, and the rules for triggering violations to reduce SAN value.
Lin Wu later realized that his luck was always a little far from "good luck". Compared with other friends, the time portal world he is in should be the most difficult one.
Specifically, it is reflected in the various supernatural events triggered when obtaining clues. When his SAN value falls below 10, his whole person, or consciousness, is pulled into the memory fragment illusion of the owner of the event.
The owners of these events had long since died in the upheaval, but their ghosts were trapped in the dormitory for some reason. The memory fragment illusion that Lin Wu entered belonged to them.
The diary he found belonged to one of the ghosts, and it recorded many things that happened before January 3, 2049.
Some things happened before this student entered the school, so they were just hearsay records, similar to recording a rumor heard, and the content was mostly the recorder's feelings: it was quite scary, but fortunately it was not true...
February 18, 2048, where Youxi was, had a more detailed record in the diary. At that time, the situation in the library became very bad, so it was eventually sealed.
The owner of the diary, as one of the students trapped in the academy and unable to leave, had witnessed all kinds of things that happened in the library. Every once in a while, a student would die inexplicably. Lin Wu felt the same despair and helplessness.
People with a weak willpower would probably be surrounded by this huge sense of despair and be trapped in the illusion of past memories. The longer they stay in the time gate, the more their SAN value will drop, until their SAN value reaches zero, they lose their eligibility to board the train, and are left in the darkness forever.
But as long as they are determined and can break through the illusion world in the memory fragments and return to the dark dormitory reality, this traveler will not only get the information they need, but also receive rich rewards.
For example, various props to increase SAN value and fragments that can travel through the time gate layer.
The reason why Lin Wu lost contact with the time gate for such a long time was because he entered three different memory fragments of three students. These memories are related and causally related to each other. Sometimes combining two different memory fragments can solve an important mystery and get richer rewards.
He always does things seriously. Either he doesn't do it, or he does it the best. He gets as many puzzle pieces as possible in one breath to get the "key" he needs.
Lin Wu didn't forget that their ultimate goal is to find the hidden station. There is only one hidden station at each station. No matter what, all teammates need to gather together, which means that they have to cross more than one time gate. In this case, the more puzzle pieces they get, the better.
**
After receiving Lin Wu's message that he was waiting for him, You Xi passed on the method he found to cross the world to others in the group, and discussed with others about the hidden station.
The current situation is that the hidden station may be located in any time gate world, but it is impossible to judge which one it is.
Crossing the time gate world is not possible at will, but requires obtaining puzzle pieces from different levels and can only be achieved after the complete picture is pieced together. This is paid, especially the process of obtaining puzzle pieces, which is risky.
Therefore, before the hidden station is determined, she suggested that everyone stay in their own time portal world and do not move, first explore and investigate the world they are in, and try to collect as many puzzle pieces as possible, so as to avoid finally traveling to a certain time portal world and then finding clues pointing to another time portal world, going back and forth and wasting the "key". After
a few words of discussion, Xiyuan suddenly started to act pitiful: Oh, Xiaoxi, I can't accept missions or get mission rewards with my identity. I can't come over now, otherwise you can first piece together the "key" here and come to save me, okay? My time portal world is "Light 2032.5.22".
Xing Min also saw the message Xi Yuan sent to the group. The message was displayed with everyone's name in the Endless Train World. Xing Min looked at the two words "Xi Yuan" on it and quickly remembered the days when he lived in the sky villa in the Seven Hells World.
He turned his head to look at You Xi: "Xi Yuan, is it the servant Xi Yuan?"
"Yes, do you still remember?" She didn't expect that he could think of the person in the last apocalyptic world based on the two words "Xi Yuan".
"..." Xing Min pursed the corners of his lips lightly. It's hard not to remember the days when four servants revolved around her.
You Xi does have the puzzle pieces of Xi Yuan's time gate layer world here. If he finds two more pieces, he can piece together the complete key. Maybe when Lin Wu comes, he can combine them with the puzzle pieces he has.
But Xiyuan's words also reminded her of something.
Tang Yatong also thought of something from Xiyuan's words.
Tang Yatong: Xiyuan is half indigenous, so he will not receive any missions or rewards. If he can't get the puzzle pieces and the hidden station is not in the time gate layer where he is, how can he leave this station? Although he can stay at a certain station indefinitely, not wanting to leave and being unable to leave are two different things. These stations will not deliberately trap him, so thinking about it in reverse, there is an 80% chance that the hidden station is in his time gate layer.
Xiyuan: ...No, I can get the puzzle pieces and leave here, and I can go rob other travelers!
You Zhenzhen: Hahaha, so deliberate, but it's too late now. I also think that the hidden station is very likely in your time gate realm. After all, at present, only your time gate realm is the most normal and relatively safest.
You Xi: Yes, this is site A. Everyone has only one chance to confirm. The hidden station will not be placed in a small, dark and dangerous realm. We will go to find the puzzle pieces, but we will not come for the time being. You should go and inquire about the news first, and we will talk about it after confirmation.
Xi Yuan: Wuwuwu, it's always like this... Then what reward do I have, Xiaoxi?
You Xi chuckled into her phone and did not notice that Xing Min beside her turned his head to look at her again.
She was about to reply with her phone in hand when she suddenly heard Xing Min speak in a deep voice: "I'm here."
She immediately reacted and put away her phone: "Where?"
Xing Min sensed the fluctuations in time and space: "First floor."
The two hurried downstairs. When You Xi walked to the middle door between the second and first floors, she also felt some fluctuations.
The two turned the corner of the stairs, and the dark lobby on the first floor appeared in front of them. Xing Min released a few pieces of light golden light and controlled them to float to the left side of the lobby.
With this light, You Xi quickly saw a black vortex on the wall on the left side of the lobby.
I don't know if it was attracted by other time gates and realms, but there was a rustling sound in the darkness above the wall where the vortex was located, as if many things that were originally hidden in the depths of the darkness had crawled out.
"Be careful." Xing Min pulled You Xi and put a layer of light shield around her before letting her go forward.
The Tang sword appeared in her hand. Xing Min followed her and pasted a layer of light golden flakes on her Tang sword at the right time.
His energy can resist and attack these things, so the Tang sword in her hand was also blessed with this ability.
A dry and iron-blue hand stretched out from the darkness above the vortex. I don't know if it wanted to destroy the vortex that was forming, or wanted to pass through the vortex to other realms. But no matter which one, she would not let it fulfill its wish.
Youxi was quick-witted and swift-handed. She swung the Tang sword, and the thing let out a piercing scream. Black liquid flowed out of its skinny hand and it quickly retracted into the darkness.
This time, because of the light shield, her SAN value did not drop.
A moment later, she heard movement above her head. In just a moment, a clump of long and thick black hair fell in front of her. She dodged backwards, then found the right angle and swung the Tang sword again.
This time, a clear sound of bones breaking came from the darkness, accompanied by a distorted and miserable scream from the thing.
But the scream stopped abruptly after Youxi swung the sword for the third time. Something fell to the ground with a plop, and a foul odor spread in the air.
The plop was like a signal. Several things that were lurking in the darkness in the corners of the wall moved at the same time. Some rushed directly towards the vortex, while others went towards Youxi and Xingmin.
Youxi swung his knife again to clear the obstacles on the wall for Lin Wu.
Xingmin and she stood back to back. Several light golden pieces of light flew out of his hands and went in different directions in the darkness. Various weird and piercing screams continued around.
When Lin Wu stepped out of the vortex and tried to pull himself out of the passage, he saw this scene - in the empty library hall, light golden light flickered from time to time, illuminating the two people fighting not far away - he was shocked, how could there be two people! ?
The surroundings were very cold, and something sensed his presence and quickly crawled towards him along the wall.
He immediately activated the newly acquired prop, applied it to the iron rod in his hand, and then hit the enemy in the dark with force.
The three of them worked together and quickly repelled this round of riots.
When the vortex on the wall completely disappeared, the remaining objects also retreated into the darkness. You Xi took out two flashlights, handed one to Xing Min, and shone it towards Lin Wu: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Wu walked quickly over, shining the flashlight in her hand towards the person beside her, "Who is he?" "
He is Xing Min, one of us. He came into this world with me, and we were separated before." You Xi swept the ground around her with the flashlight. The fragments that fell after the things were cut into pieces were gone, but there were pools of black liquid left on the floor.
Xing Min saw what she was thinking: "Don't worry, when the time gate is reset, these will all disappear."
You Xi nodded. She still felt a little disgusted here, and her phone kept vibrating when she just repelled those things. She guessed that the mission was triggered and there were a lot of rewards. But this was not a good place to check and talk. She remembered that there were also some space doors with higher tops on the eighth floor of the library, so she decided to go there to release the tree house.
After that, the three of them turned around and walked quickly towards the stairs.
**
Inside the tree house, Lin Wu simply washed his hands and face in the sink in the kitchen area. When he stood up, a towel was handed to him.
He raised his head and looked up along the slender fingers holding the towel, and met the face of the owner of the fingers.
Lin Wu took the towel, said thank you, wiped his face, and couldn't help looking at the man's face across the bar again.
He had experienced so many worlds in the system tower and met all kinds of people, but he had never seen someone with such superior appearance and temperament.
Especially the other person's eyes, which were clear and deep lake blue. When he looked at him, he felt as if he was being stared at by the entire sky, the ocean, or the boundless universe.
That feeling of vastness, tranquility, and all-embracing was very subtle and difficult to describe. In his eyes, it seemed that everything in this world existed, and even surpassed all of these...
Noticing Lin Wu's gaze, Xing Min turned around and looked at him again.
When their eyes met, Lin Wu was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he looked into a man's face and was mesmerized. He coughed softly and said, "The situation at this site is different. I'm quite worried about her. Thank you for helping Xiaoxi."
Xing Min looked at him, thinking of the past apocalypse, and slowly said, "No, thank you for helping her."
"Did Xiaoxi mention me to you?" These friends had already discussed this privately, so Lin Wu knew that among all the people, he was the one who had met Youxi the most in the apocalypse world and fought side by side with him the most.
"Yeah." Xing Min responded softly. Needless to say, after all, he had been watching him all the way here, and he had "caught a strong man" with him in the acid rain world.
The two of them stopped talking at the same time.
Xing Min is a man of few words, and Lin Wu didn't know what to say for a moment because they were unfamiliar with each other and there was also some subtle awkwardness.
This was what You Xi saw when she came out of the bathroom.
She had a cleanliness obsession, so she went into the tree house to take a shower and change clothes. Now she walked out while wiping her hair. Seeing the two of them sitting across the bar without talking, she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Why are you sitting there without talking? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
She sat down next to Xing Min and began to put various foods and drinks on the bar: "It's too dark here. I didn't feel like eating before, and I only drank a bottle of nutrient solution. Let's have a good meal today, and then discuss the plan after that."
Xing Min hummed, and naturally took the towel from her hand and took over her job of wiping her hair.
Lin Wu looked at them. You Xi's hair had been cut once at the Wukongcheng station. It was cut very short at that time, but it has grown again in the past six months and is now just shoulder-length.
Her hair had just been washed and looked particularly smooth. He could fully imagine the touch of her hair passing through the door between his fingers.
