He's gone mad... In the dark timeline, Su Yue gazed at the vast, turbulent sea of clouds in the distance.
He discovered that the world around him had turned completely gray.
In the darkness of night.
He closed his eyes helplessly, feeling the breeze around him and thinking about the sound of the gentle rain, as if he had forgotten everything about the world of Turin.
But can you really forget it?
Deep down, a voice kept telling him that maybe he could go back by committing suicide now?
"Now that I'm dead, I should be able to go back, right?"
Su Yue looked curiously at the vast sea of clouds beneath her feet.
Dukar, the City in the Clouds, is a very beautiful city.
All around were ancient buildings, with cliffs in front and distant lights of countless homes. The lights and streetlights still illuminated the entire city in the darkness.
In the ruins of this city, Su Yue seemed to stand in a lake and see his own place reflected in the water.
"Uncle... um, you... you're not going to commit suicide, are you?"
Su Yue shook his head.
He said, "It's alright, thank you."
"Phew..." The couple on the mountain breathed a sigh of relief. If Su Yue really wanted to die, they would probably be in a lot of trouble. Because if he died, the police might suspect their motives.
Nobody wants to be taken for interrogation, right?
"That's great, Uncle."
"..."
Su Yue asked, "Am I very old?"
"Ah, no, no, you're not that old. It's just that I've heard many people in society experience a midlife crisis in middle age, and you don't look that young."
Indeed, after transmigrating to the city of Dukar in the Clouds, Su Yue discovered that he was no longer young.
The family now has two children.
His wife and mistress, plus the profession listed on his architect's license, made him feel that he had more things he couldn't give up.
"Who is the ruler of Dukar in Cloud City?" Su Yue asked.
I don't know.
Su Yue asked, "Do you know anything about Canaan?"
"I know."
Su Yue's eyes lit up. These two actually knew about Canaan? Did that mean he might be able to exchange information with them? The people before, Elie, and Gu Longqing had all been saying strange things, but the two couples in front of him seemed quite normal. They should be able to communicate normally, right?
"..."
He wasn't sure if the plan would succeed, but he had to give it a try.
The man in the couple said, "In Canaan, it seems they unified the entire continent about seven hundred years ago."
The woman in the couple said, "Yes, and then came the long development period."
The man in the couple said, "Every situation in the world is one of division followed by unity, and unity followed by division. Moreover, it is not easy to establish a rule that lasts for seven hundred years. We are nominally ruled by the Canaanite territory, but in reality, we still exercise our own autonomy."
700 years ago???
"Yes, that's a long history. You've come to the right person. My wife studies history."
Su Yue felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and he said, "So, Cloud City is autonomous under Karl's rule?"
"kindness."
Have you ever heard of the name Europa?
"I've heard of him. He's the current supreme ruler of Dukar in our Cloud City."
"What?"
"The supreme ruler."
"..."
Su Yue felt a sense of confusion and said, "If that Europa is the supreme ruler, why isn't she appearing on city posters, computers, or the internet?"
"Uncle, things aren't as you think."
"What is it like?"
"That Lord Europa has been missing for hundreds of years."
"What?"
"Disappeared."
"Yes. To us, they are like historical symbols. You will never see many of the people recorded in history books in your lifetime. Because they are already dead."
"..."
Su Yue felt as if his lifeline had been snatched away. He asked, "Abraham... do you remember Abraham?"
"Are you referring to Abraham from the Bible, or..."
"Member of Parliament, Member of Parliament of the Canaanite Territory of Turin."
"Please wait a moment."
The couple quickly picked up books and started searching. He flipped through them for a while, his expression serious and focused. Su Yue sat quietly beside him, while his girlfriend looked at him with curious eyes.
Su Yue didn't drink alcohol, but instead watched expectantly as the couple picked up their pens and looked up from the densely packed historical scrolls.
"How about it?"
"He's dead too..."
"Where is Su Yue? Where is Su Yue, the lord of Canaan?"
The man shook his head: "Then it's even more unclear. After all, it was 700 years ago. Who knows what happened there? I'm a history major, not an archaeology major."
"..."
"Uncle, please don't think like that. Just live a good life."
"..."
700 years.
Su Yue looked at his visibly aged face, or perhaps it shouldn't be called aged, but rather the feeling of being middle-aged.
It seems he's going to report to the construction company tomorrow.
"..."
At the mountaintop, Su Yue walked down the mountain in a dejected manner.
At this moment, he was only doing two seemingly simple actions: going up the mountain and going down the mountain.
But it left him feeling as if his bones were falling apart, utterly exhausted.
He collapsed onto the bed.
Eliz is already fast asleep...
Her long hair smelled sweet, and Su Yue leaned against her, falling into a deep sleep.
The next day he was awakened by a piercing alarm clock.
The alarm clock rang incessantly in my ears.
"Honey...honey, it's time to go to work."
"ah?"
Su Yue opened his sleepy eyes and found that Su Yu and Su Yun, the two little ones, were already wearing school uniforms and socks, carrying large backpacks with Shuke and Beta on their backs, sitting at the dining table ready to eat.
"Oops, the sandwich is a little burnt."
"Honey, would you like soy milk or cow's milk?"
Elisa woke Su Yue and rushed to the kitchen to get busy. Su Yue looked around the living room and saw a flurry of activity. He heard Su Yu say, "Dad, get up quickly, we'll be late for school!"
"Oh, okay."
Su Yue quickly put on her clothes, but forgot how to tie her bow tie...
"Mom, help Dad tie his bow tie."
"..."
Elisa gave Su Yue a reproachful look, bent down beside her, tied his bow tie, and said, "Why don't you take the breakfast to the car? We're going to be late."
And so, Su Yue carried the breakfast and headed towards the car.
An ordinary family sedan was parked at the entrance.
Su Yue opened the driver's seat door. Gu Yu and Gu Yun were sitting in the back. He saw that both of them had bulging cheeks, clearly still eating.
"Start navigation, and Cloud City Duka Navigation is at your service."
The voice of the electronic navigation came through, and Su Yue turned the steering wheel in his hands, his expression somewhat blank.
