Chapter 93 The future is not the future
Jing Yuan has been extremely busy recently. In addition to the tedious official duties in the Shen Ce Palace, there are many things that are not in the Shen Ce Palace, which caused him to be away for a long time from time to time in the past two days.
So, when I entered the Shen Ce Mansion on the third day, I glanced over and found that Jing Yuan was not there. I was not surprised at all. I just nodded to Qing Dun and buried myself in today's work.
The Danding Division's personnel transfer report and public assessment plan, the Gongzao Division's report on the research and development and mass production of the new golden man, the Tianbo Division's list of abnormal ships entering and leaving Luofu... I can give a direct response to some reports, but some content must be read by Jingyuan, at least to leave an impression.
The training report of the Yunqi Army, the patrol assignment of the Yunqi Army, the emergency plan dispatch of the Yunqi Army... etc. Aren’t these contents a bit too core?
I turned my head to look at Qingdun, only to find that the person next to me had been replaced by Jingyuan at some point.
Jingyuan was noticed and tilted his head with a smile, like a bad cat who wanted to smile at you at the crime scene after a successful prank.
"...When did you come?"
Hearing this question, Big Cat smiled more reservedly, "Not long ago, just a quarter of an hour ago."
It's already fifteen minutes, how can it not be called long? !
I stood up to make room for him, but he pushed me down again.
Just when I was about to reprimand him, I saw him pick up the reviewed documents on my left hand.
Although Qingdun had gone over all of that, I still couldn't help but get nervous at this moment, and even forgot the words I wanted to condemn just now.
——I always feel like I’m facing the teacher marking and grading the papers in person.
"Hmm..." Jing Yuan groaned, making my already nervous heart beat even more violently, "What went wrong?"
Jing Yuan sighed, and when I was about to take them back with trembling hands to read them again, he put down the documents and laughed, "This is not handled very well."
The breath I had been holding in my heart finally came out. I stared at him and said through gritted teeth, "You don't look busy at all now."
Even had time to scare me.
"Take a break from your busy schedule, take a break from your busy schedule." Jing Yuan repeated as if begging for mercy, and then winked at me, suggesting, "Today we can have an hour of relaxation time."
"Relax time?" I looked at him puzzled.
Could it be that Yan Qing also recorded the video of that group of void whales? But it has been two days now. If you wanted to watch it, you should have watched it two days ago, right?
While thinking, Jing Yuan stood up and held out his hand to me. "Defense match, Yanqing and Luca. How about it, do you want to watch it again?"
Is it the finals already? Of course I want to watch it. After all, this time I'm definitely not watching them play a turn-based game myself.
I placed my hand on Jing Yuan's palm and used his strength to stand up. "To get revenge on you, I decided to spoil the outcome of this defense match for you."
In fact, I was just trying to scare him, but Jing Yuan laughed and said, "Yan Qing won."
The result in a simple sentence carries trust that needs no further explanation.
"Hmm." I responded lightly without comment.
But whether it is for Yanqing or Jingyuan, they care about more than just the result. So let Jingyuan go and see the final surprise in person.
When we arrived at the Jingfeng ship, we just caught up with Ji Mi's opening remarks to stir up the audience's emotions, "Luka vs. Yan Qing has become the most anticipated scene of this martial arts ceremony. Now this match that will surely go down in history is about to begin. Let us wait and see how the match will end!"
After that, the cannons turned and fired in unison, announcing the start of the game.
Flying swords surrounded the arena of the Jingfeng ship, allowing it to attack fully and defend quickly at the same time. Luca moved his right arm slightly, dodged a flying sword sideways, and knocked it down with a punch.
However, as long as Yan Qing can regain control of it, such a knockdown will be useless.
Luca, who also realized this, sped up, shot down all the flying swords in a short period of time, and then rushed towards Yan Qing without looking back.
It seemed like a last-ditch attack, but it was just a feint. When Yan Qing raised his hand to block, Luca had already circled to Yan Qing's side and punched him.
Unfortunately, Yan Qing's swordsmanship has always been based on agility. Although this action does have a short-term confusing effect, it also gives Yan Qing enough time to react.
So, after taking Luca's punch, the long sword that was originally knocked down returned to Yan Qing's control again.
Sure enough, non-turn-based games are different after all. I nodded quietly in my heart, and listened to Jimi's praise in the commentary: "It seems that Luca is a great fighter. Lord Yanqing is going to get serious about it!"
All the flying swords flew out at the same time, and attacked from different angles as desired. Luca, exhausted from dealing with the attack, could no longer find an opportunity to get close.
After suppressing Luca within a certain range of movement, Yan Qing finally used his killer move.
The Milky Way is pouring! Even though Yanqing didn't have the habit of shouting out his moves, that didn't stop me from shouting out for him in my mind, and then I saw the health bar constantly decreasing as if I was there myself.
...It’s better not to have this kind of immersive experience!
I quickly drove the scene out of my mind and continued to look at the ring.
This move was obviously the result of Yan Qing being weakened, otherwise a move that could freeze Hu Lei who was resistant to ice would not allow Luca to withstand it with just his iron arms.
"Your flying sword is so hard that my iron arm has completely failed..." Luca moved his iron arm, but the frost covering it could not be melted.
We have to keep going no matter what, Luca's determined eyes conveyed this thought, and his gaze was fixed on Yan Qing's movements.
However, Yan Qing inserted the long sword in his hand into the ring of the Jingfeng ship and took a fighting posture. "In this case, I will also abandon my sword. Let us decide the final winner with our fists."
Luca's ability to withstand injuries is truly extraordinary. After taking a few elbow strikes and palm strikes that hurt me, he still looked like nothing happened. So Yanqing directly switched from Tai Chi to Baji.
After being hit by another series of small moves, Luca quickly adjusted himself and interrupted Yan Qing's attack with a punch.
Although Yan Qing dodged the attack, he was still fooled by Luca's subsequent fake move and was hit by a right hook.
Hiss, this is really a slap in the face. The sense of immersion is so strong that I already feel the pain. If Jingyuan wasn't right next to me, I would have wanted to rub my face.
This attack exhausted Luca's last bit of strength, but he still underestimated Yan Qing's physique. Not to mention being knocked down, Yan Qing even had enough strength to catch the exhausted Luca in the first place.
He grasped Luca's arm and immediately raised it up on tiptoe.
Deafening cheers immediately covered the entire stadium, which alone was enough to make people's hearts surge. The benefits of the live version were fully demonstrated at this moment.
After calming down the emotions in my heart, I sighed silently: Sure enough, a strong physique is the real strength.
Come to think of it, my body should be able to withstand it, but I don’t know if my brain will be knocked unconscious if I get beaten like this.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jing Yuan beside me chuckle and sigh, "Given his current temperament, if anything goes wrong with me in the future, he is indeed the most suitable person to solve the follow-up."
I was originally excited about the non-turn-based combat scenes, but suddenly my heart sank, "There will never be such a day."
If I were really Jing Yuan, I would have to consider the theory of time and space paradox, but I am not after all, so... "Whatever the future holds for me, it will not be realized in you."
The future is not the future.
Although it was understandable that Jing Yuan was interested in the game, when he was so absorbed in watching it that he was oblivious to the outside world, Jing Yuan noticed something strange.
That focused gaze was as if one had not seen this lively scene for a long time, and therefore was filled with infinite interest.
Even Jing Yuan didn't notice that he was being stared at.
But "Jingyuan" had clearly watched the game during the key match, and he had also seen the widely circulated video. Both the sentimental emotions and the sigh at the end were obviously completely different from his concentration at this moment.
This state is more like what I had guessed before, that "Jingyuan" may have another personality.
So, at the end of the game, Jing Yuan said a few words through Yan Qing, but Jing Yuan's state and reaction were no different.
Or maybe, he just switched very smoothly...
After this topic was over, Jing Yuan stared at the ring from afar in silence until Yan Qing and Luca walked down from the ring. Then he sighed and said meaningfully, "The game is over."
"Well, it's over." Jing Yuan responded softly, looking at the person next to him who looked exactly like him and clutched the guardrail tightly.
He seemed to want to say something else, but in the end he just reminded: "How is the preparation for the Qiongguan Formation going? If possible, call Bai Lu."
This didn't sound good. Jing Yuan looked at his face, which showed no worry, and asked, "Just in case?"
Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Just in case."
If Black Swan can really bring back the light cone before the Qiongguan Formation is activated, then he can read the memory in it and make it public with the help of the Qiongguan Formation.
In this way, Fu Xuan’s calculations will not directly affect me, and perhaps will not lead to the consequences in the “dream”.
However, I’m not sure what effect the memories within the light cone will have on Fu Xuan, so I called Bai Lu just in case.
But... no matter what, there will be three generals together when the Qiongguan Formation is activated, so nothing serious will happen.
But I didn't expect that the Black Swan would come back so quickly. When Jing Yuan and I were still working overtime to get an extra hour of rest today, the Black Swan suddenly appeared in the Shen Ce Mansion.
The Yunqi on duty all around never expected that someone could appear silently, and they surrounded the person in great alertness and fear.
"General Jingyuan, I have got what you want." Black Swan spoke first to explain the purpose of her appearance.
I nodded to Yunqi who was looking over, and Yunqi took two steps back and withdrew his weapon.
But they did not return to their original positions, but stayed near the black swan, ready to take action if there was any unusual movement.
I walked down the steps and raised my hand to signal them to go back and take the cone of light from the Black Swan.
Whether it is the pattern above or the small words at the bottom, it is exactly the same as the light cone in the "dream".
I learned it by myself. I closed my eyes and felt the cone of light floating in my palm, connecting my consciousness with my internal memories.
Then, I saw myself, still at home, chatting and laughing with "Yanqing" and the others.
