Chapter 177 The Sky Falls (12) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
This statement was probably too outrageous, and everyone was shocked and stopped in their tracks.
Ren Zhiling couldn't help but twitch her lips a few times: "Do you want to hear what you are saying?"
Isn’t this a bit too outrageous?
Whether it's that she went from being a sausage seller to a business tycoon, or that a sausage that would never be sold at a barbecue stall became a legend, or that she founded the sausage cult, it all sounds like nonsense!
No, even if you were just talking casually you wouldn't be able to come up with something like this, right?
The exploration team members nearby also had some numbness on their faces.
"Don't joke..." Xu Zichen said weakly, "The world in five hundred years is about to be destroyed. Are you still in the mood to joke?"
"I'm not kidding," Liu Yi spread his hands, "Reality is often more like a joke than a joke, right?"
"Besides," he suddenly moved closer to Yin Liantao, "didn't you already see it just now?"
"What did you see?" Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Yin Liantao.
"He looks very familiar," Yin Liantao pursed her lips and spoke after a while, "When I first saw Liu Yi, I suddenly felt that he looked very familiar."
"But he doesn't look like Uncle Liu and the others at all..." Ren Zhiling frowned slightly.
"She means that Liu Yi looks familiar to you." Bai Jinshu suddenly spoke.
"And... me?" Ren Zhiling was stunned for a moment.
"Yes," Yin Liantao nodded, "The lower half of Liu Yi's face... looks very similar to you, Sister Ren."
“It’s not the same as in the past,” she added. “It’s the kind that…if you look closely, they’re not very similar, but at first glance, they feel very similar.”
As soon as she said that, everyone's eyes moved between the two of them.
Indeed, Liu Yi's facial features are very obviously masculine, with a wider jaw angle and a larger skeleton visible to the naked eye, while Ren Zhiling's face is a very standard oval face with a more rounded jaw and a sharper chin.
From the perspective of face shape, the lower halves of the two people's faces do not have the slightest similarity, but if you ignore the biggest interference factor, which is face shape, and look closely at the facial features, the two people suddenly look alike.
The group compared them back and forth for a long time and finally understood why Yin Liantao's gaze kept moving back and forth between Ren Zhiling and Liu Yi's faces after seeing Ren Zhiling.
"I am the only son. I don't have any other brothers or sisters in my family. I am sure that my mother only has me as a daughter." Ren Zhiling narrowed her eyes slightly. "The meeting you wanted to disrupt at first was about artificial embryos."
"Before this, I have never met anyone named Liu Yi, or anyone who claims to be from the future. This is enough to prove that the meeting a few days ago was actually your first attempt to go back to the past and change the future."
Her eyes were fixed on Liu Yi's face. "Why did you choose a meeting on artificial embryos to start the future review? Is it because this technology must have been put into practical use in the future world and caused a lot of chain reactions? That's why you suspect that the fall of the sky is related to this, right?"
"You are my clone?" Her tone suddenly became firm. "The last few times I saw Liu Yi, he covered his face. Was it to prevent me from noticing this?"
Then why didn’t Liu Yi cover his face this time?
"The previous few times?" Liu Yi spread his hands. "How would I know what I was thinking in the past timelines?"
"But calling it a clone is a bit too much..." Liu Yi corrected, "I just used some of your genes to create an artificial human."
"But you said that in the future world, that so-called something-or-other religion will become the fourth largest sect, and I am the founder of this sect," Ren Zhiling looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, "Five hundred years later, is this how the followers of the sect treat the founder?"
Liu Yi and others were hiding something from her, and she now distrusted everything she said to Liu Yi.
The comments on the barrage were also rarely serious:
[Let's rationally summarize the various situations of Liu Yi at present. First, Liu Yi from the future is hiding something from Ren Zhiling. This thing is very likely that they are actually Ren Zhiling's artificial people. ]
[Secondly, Ren Zhiling's different choices actually caused Liu Yi to have different personalities and styles every time he came back. For example, Liu Yi wanted to kill Ren Zhiling before, Liu Yi was eager to save Ren Zhiling, Liu Yi was very polite to Ren Zhiling and called her teacher, and now this Liu Yi completely disdains to hide his appearance and immediately exposed all of Liu Yi's past.]
[I feel that Liu Yi's attitude towards Ren Zhiling seems to be defined by the future she changed.]
【Tell me about it?】
[For example, Ren Zhiling was a scientist before. Just like when we look at scientists from hundreds of years ago, the information that can be left behind is nothing more than what they have researched or achieved. So if I were the artificial person of this scientist, I actually have no real sense of what kind of person this person is. It's like looking at an ordinary historical figure.]
[But later Ren Zhiling started her own media. Once her videos spread, no matter what happened later, everyone who saw the videos could see the daily life of the person who filmed the videos five hundred years ago. Compared to scientists who only had cold data, the artificial humans had a certain understanding of what kind of person their genes came from.]
[And now, assuming that what he said is true, then Ren Zhiling must be a very special character in their religion. If Liu Yi is a person who grew up listening to her stories, his attitude towards her must be more respectful or friendly, especially since he went back to the time when Ren Zhiling had not yet started her career.]
…
On the screen, Liu Yi this time was obviously very different from the previous times. He seemed very happy to share what would happen five hundred years later with the exploration team members.
"It's not because we want to blaspheme or replicate the founder," he pushed up his sunglasses, "Didn't Liu Yi tell you before? How to achieve time travel?"
"No." Ren Zhiling said vigilantly.
"Don't be so vigilant," Liu Yi waved his hand, "I went back to the past just to clear up your confusion. My mission is to finish telling you all this. I will leave only after I have said what I need to convey."
"Can you control the time of your departure?" Lu Changfeng, who had been following beside him, suddenly raised his voice.
"Yeah," Liu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, "I didn't come back here a few times and said my time was almost up and then suddenly left, right?"
Seeing everyone's unhappy faces, he had a strange expression on his face: "Although generally speaking we can't stay there for too long, but we can still do it for about half an hour."
"Let's talk about time travel first," Ren Zhiling interrupted, "I want to know why you all chose to use my genes to create embryos."
"Because you are the only one who can choose," Liu Yi said in a relaxed tone. Seeing the seriousness on Ren Zhiling's face, he coughed lightly and said seriously, "In fact, the realization of time travel is definitely not smooth at the beginning, because people from the future cannot appear in the past."
"Unable to appear?" Xu Zichen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it cannot appear," Liu Yi replied, "because people cannot reach a time that they cannot reach. People born in different times can actually only live in their own times."
"Let me think, you can understand it as..." Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Liu Yi thought for a while, as if looking for an analogy.
Bai Jin said: "Rays."
"Yes, a ray," Liu nodded, "Everyone is a ray that keeps extending forward, but everyone starts from a different endpoint, and time is this endpoint."
"For example, if a newborn is born in 2023, then the time he can appear is all the numbers from 2023 onwards, 2024, 2025, 2026... and this newborn cannot live back and forth, experiencing 2022, 2021, 2020. Is this understandable?"
Everyone nodded.
"So once a person speaks, his time is fixed," Liu Yi lowered his head. "At this time, if the newborn born in 2023 needs to go back to 1523, he will die the moment he goes back to the past."
"Because he wasn't there at that time." Ren Zhiling said.
“Right…” Liu Yi took off his sunglasses, revealing a face that looked like a twin brother when walking with Ren Zhiling. “So after countless unnecessary sacrifices, we finally found that going back to the past wouldn’t work, because it’s impossible for someone to exist five hundred years later who existed five hundred years ago.”
"Unless..." Ning Xiao murmured, "In the future, a person who existed five hundred years ago can be created."
"That is," Ren Zhiling looked at Liu Yi, "you."
Because she existed five hundred years ago, the artificial human Liu Yi who used her genes also became a future man who could exist five hundred years ago.
"Is this the truth about why the person who comes back every time is Liu Yi?" Xu Zichen rubbed his temples with a headache.
Liu Yi's identity was a big discovery, but it almost overturned all his previous reasonings.
Since Liu Yi is the only successful item that people in the future finally discovered after countless failures, it means that it is indeed "Liu Yi" who comes back every time.
It can even be said that it is the same person who comes back every time. They are all cloned by Ren Zhiling, with the same genetic sequence and the same name.
"Then why did Liu Yi keep this information hidden from us?" Ning Xiao asked puzzled.
Is there anything to hide?
It's just that they are all Ren Zhiling's artificial humans. From this information, the most we can know is that Ren Zhiling's genes were preserved for five hundred years, and that the artificial embryo technology was very mature after five hundred years.
Why do they cover their faces?
"I don't know about that," Liu Yi spread his hands, "Anyway, I haven't received any request to hide my identity and appearance from you."
The exploration team members looked at each other.
Liu Yi is an artificial human created specifically to travel through time and return to the past, so his attitude is not important. His attitude is the attitude of the organization behind him towards Ren Zhiling five hundred years later.
It is impossible that Liu Yiben concealed his identity out of his own will. It can only be that the institutions behind him did not want Ren Zhiling to know this information.
Ren Zhiling...what kind of role did he play five hundred years later?
No matter what, the person who came back was Liu Yi, Ren Zhiling's artificial human, and it would not change no matter how she changed her career. This only meant that the event that determined Liu Yi's appearance actually occurred before Ren Zhiling made the change.
Ren Zhiling's genes were collected a long time ago.
Countless pairs of eyes in front of and behind the screen were all focused on Ren Zhiling.
"I..." Ren Zhiling frowned, her eyes full of confusion, "I don't know when my genes were collected."
“I have no impression,” she said.
*
This time, after Liu Yi dropped a depth charge, he immediately left the timeline that belonged to the real Ren Zhiling.
The exploration team members accompanied Ren Zhiling back home. She stood downstairs in the community and waved to everyone, then whispered, "Let me go back and think about what happened. As for the next career, we will discuss it tomorrow morning."
Her face was full of confusion, and her fingers kept tapping on her phone all the way, apparently looking for answers about when her genes were collected.
The exploration team members were unable to help in this regard, so after repeatedly asking her and getting her own refusal, they went back to the motel at the entrance of Ren Zhiling's community.
"I still feel something is not right." Standing at the elevator door, Xu Zichen frowned as he walked.
"Xu Zichen," Bai Jinshu suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" He stopped and looked at Bai Jinshu in confusion.
"You guys go back first," Bai Jinshu nodded to the other team members, "It's our organization's private matter."
The existence of the special space could not be hidden from the exploration team members. After he said this, the other exploration team members and the cameras moved away very consciously, leaving only Lu Changfeng who didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Let's go get the rice noodle rolls too." Bai Jinshu said.
After all the exploration team members left, Xu Zichen frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"What do you think is wrong?" Bai Jinshu did not answer his question, but instead asked about the question he had not finished saying before.
Xu Zichen was stunned: "Ren Zhiling's situation... I always feel like there's something wrong."
"Tell me about it." Bai Jinshu raised his chin while sitting on the sofa in the rest area.
"You were trying to get the others away just now?" Xu Zichen paused, his face suddenly showing a lot of enlightenment, "You didn't say a word this afternoon, you also feel something is wrong, right? Before Liu Yi showed up this time, I once suspected that the person who came back each time was not the same person, they just had the same name 'Liu Yi'."
"And Ren Zhiling's method of destroying the world," he added, "from donating cat hair to setting up a snack stand, don't you think it's too outrageous? Ren Zhiling's suspicion yesterday was very reasonable. Even if scientists five hundred years later believed that the world was destroyed because of her, they would not give any professional explanation, but jump from simple facts to unrelated events, right?"
"And this time's Liu Yi," Xu Zichen thought about it and couldn't help but said, "I feel like there's something wrong with him. He's the one who spoke the most among all the Liu Yis. Not only did he reveal all the secrets that Liu Yi had worked so hard to hide, he even revealed a lot of other information, such as the religious structure of the future world, and the fact that at this stage they can only find the genes of Ren Zhiling, a person who lived five hundred years ago..."
"Compared to Liu Yi and others before, he said the most, but it seemed..." Xu Zichen paused.
"But it seems like it has made the water even more muddy, right?" Bai Jinshu continued.
"Before Liu Yi showed up today, I almost thought that the destruction of the world in the future had nothing to do with Ren Zhiling. No matter how Ren Zhiling changed her profession, it would only change the appearance of a different Liu Yi, rather than avoiding the disaster," Xu Zichen said sincerely, "But after today, the appearance of this Liu Yi has drawn attention back to Ren Zhiling. I'm not sure if she has anything to do with the future. I just think there must be something wrong with the Liu Yi that showed up this time."
"Of course there are problems," Bai Jinshu said, with a half-smile, "The biggest problem appeared at the very beginning."
"Do you remember that this project is a business order?"
"Remember." Xu Zichen replied.
"What are the fixed attributes of the business object Song Jirou? What is she doing now?" Bai Jinshu continued.
"Iron rice bowl..." Xu Zichen repeated Song Jirou's fixed attributes in a low voice, "She will generate a fixed and rule-related civil servant identity."
And now, Song Jirou is still working as a guard for Xi Enze.
"But Liu Yi and his men killed Ren Zhiling." He whispered.
Song Jirou's original identity was Xi Enze's guard. There were many guards around Xi Enze, and they borrowed Song Jirou's identity and sneaked into the meeting.
"Except for Liu Yi's third attack, the first and second attacks all included Ren Zhiling and Xi Enze." Xu Zichen felt something was wrong the more he spoke. "In the beginning, we relied on Song Jirou's fixed attributes to lock on Xi Enze and didn't pay attention to Ren Zhiling."
The reason why they thought Ren Zhiling was the key task was because Liu Yi, whom they met for the third time, told them that Ren Zhiling could not die, so they naturally shifted their focus from Xi Enze to Ren Zhiling.
"So the key figure has actually always been Xi Enze?" Xu Zichen looked up suddenly, "Were we misled by Liu Yi?"
"Or..." He narrowed his eyes, "Liu Yi was also misled."
At this moment, Bai Jinshu's cell phone on the table vibrated a few times, and a call came in with no remarks.
"Hello?" A familiar voice came. "Everything is normal here today. How are things over there?"
"Song Jirou?" Xu Zichen's gaze suddenly turned away.
"After Ren Zhiling changed his career, [Liu Yi F] appeared," Ye Dian answered the phone as he watched, and casually tore off a piece of hotel notepaper. "The information provided by [Liu Yi F] is that all Liu Yis are artificial humans bred from Ren Zhiling's genes. People in the future cannot go back to the past, so a person who existed five hundred years ago must be created, so that artificial humans from the future can exist in the world five hundred years ago."
"I tend to think this information is true." He made a check mark on the paper.
"What is the reason for the destruction of the world?" Song Jirou continued to ask.
"Religious elements. Ren Zhiling's entrepreneurship led to the emergence of a new sect. After the world's disaster was determined to be caused by Ren Zhiling, the sect split into two factions. He came from the faction that believed that changing the past could save the future." Bai Jinshu drew a circle on the paper. Xu Zichen leaned over to take a look and found that the line of words he circled was [Liu Yi A? ]
"Have you been in private contact with Song Jirou?" Xu Zichen couldn't help but ask.
"In fact," Song Jirou, who heard him speak, said, "When you were preparing to follow Ren Zhiling in the beginning, it was Ye Dian who asked me not to transfer and to stay with Xi Enze. He said that Ren Zhiling was a smokescreen."
"We have numbered all the different future Liu Yis that have appeared so far," Bai Jinshu said. "The one who appeared at the conference on the first day was [Liu Yi A] from the original world line. The one who appeared at the airport on the second day was [Liu Yi B] from the world line where the conference was attacked and ended early. The one who appeared in the school on the third day was [Liu Yi C] who came to assassinate Ren Zhiling and [Liu Yi D] who prevented Ren Zhiling from being assassinated. The one who appeared after Ren Zhiling changed his career to become a self-media person was [Liu Yi E], and the one who appeared after he went to set up a stall to sell starch sausage was today's [Liu Yi F]."
"Among them, there is a suspicious point about each Liu Yi," Song Jirou continued. "When [Liu Yi A] appeared, it was obviously not him who launched the attack. There was another future person present who attacked Xi Enze. [Liu Yi B] appeared on the ceiling of the airport, but disappeared in a hurry without doing anything. There is an antagonistic relationship between [Liu Yi C] and [Liu Yi D], but [Liu Yi D] seemed to have known that we would help him stop it, so he chose to ask us for help. [Liu Yi E] deliberately lied that the time was up and avoided the problem after the key problem appeared."
"During these few days of observation, Ren Zhiling's changes determined the changes in Liu Yi, and each different Liu Yi will reveal different information about the future, so our initial plan was to support Ren Zhiling to keep changing careers and piece together the answers from different Liu Yis." Song Jirou's voice was very steady.
"Among them, the reason why [Liu Yi B] left in a hurry was given by [Liu Yi F]'s information today, and it also confirmed a piece of information." Bai Jinshu knocked on the table.
"He doesn't know." Song Jirou said.
"Yes, he doesn't know. The information held by each Liu Yi is indeed different." Bai Jinshu drew a five-pointed star next to the name of [Liu Yi B]. "[Liu Yi B] doesn't know that he is Ren Zhiling's artificial human."
Xu Zichen: "Wait a minute... You two have been deducing something about Liu Yi for a long time? You felt something was wrong when you saw [Liu Yi D]? That's why you asked Song Jirou not to transfer to another position?"
Ye Dian has been hiding the progress from all exploration team members and Song Jirou?
"Well, the [Liu Yi]s are divided into two camps. On one side are [Liu Yi A, B, C] who seem to be planning to kill Ren Zhiling, and on the other side are [Liu Yi D, E, F] who have good intentions towards Ren Zhiling," Bai Jinshu nodded and divided the six words on the paper into two groups. "Xu Zichen, haven't you discovered the biggest paradox in Liu Yi's actions these days?"
"What?" He really didn't notice.
"That is, if Ren Zhiling is the culprit that caused the destruction of the world, then the first priority of every Liu Yi when he returns should be to kill her." Song Jirou said.
"【Liu YiA, B, C】all came to kill Ren Zhiling, while D came to stop his former self from returning. The incident that prevented him from coming back was the concert hall attack, which was suppressed by Song Jirou using her authority. So under normal circumstances, it should not exist in the historical records." Bai Jin narrated.
"That is to say, apart from [Liu Yi D] who revealed his identity as the future who killed Ren Zhiling, the information obtained by [Liu Yi E] and [Liu Yi F] is the same as that of [Liu Yi A, B, C] who tried to assassinate Ren Zhiling."
"So you didn't doubt one thing?" He smiled, "Why did [Liu Yi E] and [Liu Yi F] show no hostility towards Ren Zhiling when they came back?"
If they went back to the past for the first time as they said, then why wasn't their first reaction when they saw the culprit to kill Ren Zhiling?
"Hiss..." Xu Zichen took a breath of cold air.
He did not, or rather, no one noticed this.
This is precisely the biggest bug in Liu Yi's time travel.
"Someone is intentionally diverting everyone's attention," Bai Jinshu looked up at Xu Zichen, "Then let him lead the way. Let's see what he wants to do."
The author has something to say:
I can sort out these six Liu Yis now, right? There is no need to draw a picture for the time being, right?
No one in the comments noticed that E and F are wrong ovo
