Ye Zhou was a little absent-minded.
The strange figure flashed by, and when he asked Zou Ming to take the telescope and look over there, there was nothing in the alley behind the castle.
Ye Zhou was missing Cao'er, but at the same time he couldn't forget the fleeting figure.
"Why did Sarah leave at this time?" Ye Zhou held up the telescope, his brain working rapidly, and those strange points before were suddenly connected by a line.
Is this a coincidence?
Sarah, who had never left, suddenly left.
And here appears another person who is extremely similar to Sarah.
A ridiculous idea suddenly came to Ye Zhou's mind.
Sarah has always been weird, but if, if you add a premise, then these weird things make sense.
What if they knew each other “earlier”?
If Sarah had known him from the moment she met him, none of the problems would have been a problem.
Because Sarah knew him, she did not show any strangeness or restraint from the beginning. Although she did not act like a child in front of him, she would compete for his favor like a child. The salary she asked for was very low, so low that it could be ignored.
It is obvious that her fighting power is enough for her to get the same salary as Zou Ming.
And she wasn't the one he hired at first, so how did she get here? How much energy and thought did she put into getting to him?
And her last words: "Don't be too nice to her, she is still a bad person now."
Could this "she" be referring to...herself?
Ye Zhou put down the telescope and turned to look at Zou Ming.
Zou Ming was also looking at him. When their eyes met, Ye Zhou pursed his lips and asked softly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Sarah’s strange behaviors can be answered, but what about Zou Ming’s?
There was only Ye Zhou's figure in Zou Ming's dark eyes.
When Ye Zhou asked "Why did Sarah leave at this time", he knew that Ye Zhou had already connected the clues together, and he didn't have to hide this from Ye Zhou.
Zou Ming's voice was normal, but after listening carefully, it seemed a little difficult, with strong and indelible emotions. He opened his lips slightly several times and finally said, "It's just as you thought."
"Time is linear, but time in different planes is not." Zou Ming lowered his eyes slightly. "Although the planes are parallel, the system can open a funnel-shaped channel."
Ye Zhou: "That's not right. If that's the case, why can you and Sarah go back to the 'past'?"
Isn’t the time he is in the “past” of Zou Ming and Sarah?
Zou Ming shook his head: "It's your past, not mine and Sarah's."
"There are countless parallel planes. If you hadn't hired us, we might have to travel through tens or even hundreds of thousands of planes to find you."
Ye Zhou: "But I didn't hire her."
Zou Ming said softly: "But she knows who you are going to hire."
"She..." Ye Zhou was about to ask her how she knew, then he took a deep breath and understood.
How did she know? Of course he told her.
"The future can be changed, but the past cannot. What happened has happened." Zou Ming, "What you have experienced cannot be changed. Just like if you kill Sarah now, you will not achieve your goal. She must have appeared in your past life."
"Otherwise you wouldn't be who you are now."
"And you are involved in too many planes. If you achieve your goal, not only will you disappear, but those planes that you have had a significant impact on will also collapse. The system will not allow this to happen."
Ye Zhou lowered his head and saw Zou Ming's clenched fists.
Zou Ming looked very calm. He has always been like this. No matter how big the incident was, he would act as if nothing had happened.
Only his body movements betrayed his emotions.
"What about you?" Ye Zhou's tone was very flat. He looked at Zou Ming. For a long time, Ye Zhou felt that Zou Ming was a shadow. Zou Ming was always by his side, but he never showed any aggression, as if he was a wooden stake or a stone, but no matter when, Zou Ming was by his side.
He had found it strange before, but he also thought he was making a fuss out of nothing.
Now that I think about it, there are many things that are not right about Zou Ming.
Ye Zhou remembered: "You said that someone taught you how to fight, taught you how to survive, and left you some supplies."
He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at his nose: "That person, it can't be me, right?"
Zou Ming did not deny: "It's you."
Ye Zhou was stunned. He smiled silently. He didn't know what he was laughing at. He had a strange, indescribable feeling, as if everything he had now was "given" by his future self.
"The people I know, the things I come into contact with, and even the planes I jump to are all inevitable." Ye Zhou's expression gradually became numb. He looked at Zou Ming without any emotion, as if he had suddenly become a stranger. "But none of them have anything to do with me."
Zou Ming frowned and took two steps towards Ye Zhou, anxiously wanting to explain but not knowing how. In his eyes, Ye Zhou had always been the same person with the same look. He was anxious and confused, and didn't even know how to defend himself.
Ye Zhou waved his hands: "I'm not angry with you."
Ye Zhou also realized that his tone just now was not good. He thought about it and explained in a simple way: "Do you know the fun of playing games? The happiest thing about playing games is that you don't know whether you will win or lose until the last moment. It is that kind of uncertainty that makes people fascinated. If you keep winning or losing, you will soon lose the fun."
"But now I realize that I am just an experience. All my actions are fixed. No matter what choice I make, it will not affect what has already been determined." Ye Zhou looked at the sky and said helplessly, "I was a little angry just now, but now I don't feel anything."
He even began to wonder whether a person's life was really predetermined.
Everyone thinks they are making their own choices, but in fact they are all walking on a predetermined path.
Because everyone’s “present” is their future self’s “past”.
Zou Ming suddenly understood what Ye Zhou was struggling with, and he immediately corrected him: "No, what I mean is that your past cannot be changed. What you have experienced has made up who you are now. Your past cannot be changed, but your future can be."
"Every choice you make may change the future and create new branches in the plane." Zou Ming, "So you are not walking the path that someone has walked."
Ye Zhou opened his mouth slightly. He was silent for a while, and finally said honestly: "I don't understand."
Zou Ming: “…”
The two men stood face to face, and Zou Ming couldn't help but smile.
Ye Zhou didn't understand what Zou Ming was laughing at.
Zou Ming said, "Because Sarah and I appeared in your past life, no matter what you do in the future, even if you want to kill me and her, she and I will still appear. The past cannot be changed."
"But nothing from your past life appears. Everything is brand new, and every choice you make is new."
"It's the same for me. Maybe in some dimension, I didn't find you." Zou Ming's expression became particularly gentle. "Then there is a dimension where you didn't have me in your past."
Zou Ming said softly: "The past cannot be changed, but the future is brand new."
"If we use a game analogy, no matter what you do now, you can't change the outcome of the previous game, but you can decide the next game."
Ye Zhou was very confused, but he still understood it and thought that Zou Ming was really not suitable for being a commentator or related industries.
Even simple things can be explained by him.
But Ye Zhou's mood did improve. At a certain moment, he felt that he was the remaining shadow of someone, like a moving train, running on a predetermined road. Once it tried to break through the predetermined route, the train would be destroyed and everyone on board would die immediately.
"Then do you know about Sarah? Was the person I just saw Sarah?" Ye Zhou asked.
Since Ye Zhou already knew, Zou Ming had no reason to keep silent. He nodded and said reluctantly, "Actually, I don't know what happened to Sarah."
"It was only when she left that I realized this plane was related to her." Zou Ming said, "There can't be two of her in the same timeline. If two of them appear at the same time, she will disappear."
Ye Zhou nodded and waited for Zou Ming to continue.
Zou Ming: "I don't know much about her. She was already there when I met you, but later she had to leave because of her mixed blood."
Unlike him, Sarah was actually an adult when she met Ye Zhou. After all, in the system, people are considered adults when they are sixteen years old.
She was away for so long because she was a half-blood, she couldn't survive on blood alone, she needed more energy - that is, her own kind.
Because there are almost no mixed-bloods among the vampire race, vampires prefer to produce offspring through the embrace rather than pregnancy.
So no one knows that mixed-bloods are the most powerful.
Sarah can survive for long periods of time without food, or even human blood.
But this is based on the condition that she has sufficient energy, and the way she replenishes energy is to feed on her own kind.
Ye Zhou couldn't keep her with him forever, because he couldn't possibly catch someone for her to suck blood. Even if he could buy blood packs, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst for Sarah. Whether from the immediate or long-term perspective, the best way was to let her go back and suck the blood of her own kind.
The future Ye Zhou has the future Sarah by his side, so the past Sarah can only go back to find the past Ye Zhou.
A bitter smile appeared on Zou Ming's lips.
Sarah had better luck than him.
She knew where to find him, but he was like a headless fly. Every time he received a job offer, he couldn't help but hope that the person who hired him was Ye Zhou, but he was disappointed every time before.
He wasted so much time looking for Ye Zhou.
So much so that to this day, he still worries that this is a dream.
Zou Ming didn't want to tell Ye Zhou any details about their relationship.
At that time, Ye Zhou will make a choice based on his emotions at that time. Then Ye Zhou will understand that everything is based on his feelings at that time, not "fate."
Ye Zhou originally wanted to ask a question, but after thinking for a few seconds he couldn't think of what to ask. Fortunately, he remembered that Cao'er was in an unknown environment, so he picked up the telescope again and looked towards the two-story building where Cao'er was.
This time he finally saw something unusual.
The old woman who led Cao'er in came out. When she went out, she turned around and stood in front of the door for a while, as if she was locking it.
Ye Zhou frowned. Was she trying to stop the people inside from leaving? Was she going to lock them up?
But if she was a human trafficker, she wouldn't have to arrest so many at once, right? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong? And we haven't seen her accomplices yet.
One person wants to control so many people, including several races. Does she have the courage?
However, Ye Zhou's question was soon answered.
He saw with his own eyes that the old woman walked to the middle of the road and waved, and she didn't even have a specific person to wave to.
But residents from all directions were walking towards her.
Like a swarm of ants, or soulless zombies.
But unlike the zombies, they had rosy complexions and happy and excited smiles on their faces.
The hairs on Ye Zhou's arms stood on end. He looked at those smiling faces and felt for the first time that smiling was the scariest expression in the world.
Now, in addition to ensuring Cao'er's safety, he also has to find a way to find Sarah and save her.
