Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

The sky seemed to be lit with flames, and the billowing clouds of fire were like red horses, galloping from the end of the sky with irresistible momentum, filling the entire sky. John stood by the window with a cigarette in his mouth, staring at the burning world outside the window. Everything was filled with red, and the sea water looked like churning red paint. Maybe the whole world was actually a palette?

Manion stood on tiptoes, waved his hand in front of John's eyes, and said, "John, what are you thinking about?"

John took a puff of the cigarette, then turned around and puffed out the smoke, saying: "Since I became an adult, I have often dreamed of a dream. The dream was very vague, like standing in the window and looking at the hazy rainy scene outside the window. That dream It was a red dream, just like the world under the sunset now. And as time went by, the dream became clearer and clearer. I could feel the warmth of fire in the dream, and I dreamed that I seemed to be in the arms of a woman. ;and I was a baby and we were sitting around the campfire with the others and they were whispering something in a language I didn’t understand…”

The red sun gradually set below the sea level. When the last ray of sunlight was submerged in the sea, John's eyes widened and he looked straight at the water outside the window. "I saw..." he said, "a strong light... It tells me...Australia.”

Manion didn't know why, "Australia?"

"Yes, Australia." John nodded vigorously. He was extremely excited and paced back and forth in the corridor, the beard on his lips trembling slightly.

Manion has never seen John so excited. Could it be... is this a revelation? Manion thought to herself, then said, "I remember you were born in a ghetto, but Australia, what does that mean?"

"This... I don't know..." John lowered his head, his rapid breathing gradually became calmer, and the ups and downs of his shoulders were no longer obvious, "My grandma never told me about my life experience. She kept silent about it. Until my death. And the only hope is the hazy dream I often have."

He continued: "Australia...my heart, my intuition tells me that I must go there, but we have to finish the things in front of us first."

"Wow! Are we going abroad?" Manion said excitedly, "If so...Wow! I can't even imagine it! I've never been to a place that far away!"

While the two were chatting, Wei Mingye walked out of the room. He said to the two of them: "The carrion has been detected and it is a brand new unknown species. But it stands to reason that the carrion will not exist for too long. This piece of carrion will not exist for too long." The carrion was four years old, and they found some tiny shrapnel in the carrion, so it was a bit older."

Manion's delicate eyebrows knitted together. She was digesting the information in Wei Mingye's words, her brain was running at high speed, and then she said: "You mean, this unknown species died for four years and then came back to life?"

Wei Mingye nodded, "It's possible. Then, let me ask you a question, do you know about the First World War?"

Manion scratched his head and said, "What is a battle?"

John put his big hand on Manion's head and rubbed it hard, which made Manion a little unhappy. John smiled and said: "I brought some rainstorm secrets before, but you thought it was too boring at the time. You just read a few pages. Don’t look at it anymore, I’ll have to teach you tutoring in the future.”

"Hey!" Manion was so frightened that he hid behind Wei Mingye.

Wei Mingye said: "John, do you know about World War I?"

"Yeah." John said, "The foundation is not the only one that can withstand the heavy rain. The killer organization also has its own methods, and other non-governmental organizations also have their own methods. At that time, the killer organization had some information about the heavy rain and its previous history, so I took it. Watched it for a while. The war broke out in a few months."

Manion said not very wisely: "Then what does this have to do with carrion?"

"Four years, the First World War lasted about four years." Wei Mingye said, "This piece of carrion is also four years old, and there are still fragments of artillery shells hidden in it. Then we can assume that this mysterious creature is because of some The reason was that he was killed by artillery fire in the early days of World War I, and then suddenly resurrected for some reason."

Wei Mingye glanced at the two of them, and his expression became serious. He said: "The Hand of Reshaping has the means to speed up the historical process, and then cause the heavy rain to fall early... I wonder if the Hand of Reshaping will It is intended to speed up the outbreak of World War I, thus speeding up the appearance of heavy rains.”

John took another puff of cigarette and said: "The Foundation and the Reshaping Hand have always been in a state of opposition. Although the Killer Organization has always been neutral, the people inside don't think so. In fact, there are many people like me, more or less. We have learned about the organization Reshaping Hand. We don’t know why they are eager to speed up the rainstorm to return to the past, but their behavior...heh, it is particularly cruel. Reshaping Hand has approached people in our organization, and a few have actually joined. .”

"Those people wearing black masks?" Manion said with some disgust, "I have seen them up close, and the smell on their masks is as faint as petroleum. I don't want to smell it at all! If I were to wear it, ...Oh! Don’t even think about it!”

"Then, having said that." John looked at Wei Mingye and said, "What you mean is that the Hand of Reshaping may have accelerated the process of history and planned to cause the First World War to break out in advance, and the mysterious creature who died in the First World War , and it was also because of this resurrection.”

"I'm not sure." Wei Mingye said, "It could also be other means. From the current point of view, there is a high probability that it was done by the Hands of Reshaping."

Everyone chatted for a long time, and when they came to their senses, night had replaced the sky, and a bright full moon slowly rose from the sea level, like the protagonist slowly walking out from behind the stage curtain.

"There is another possibility, the Balkan War." John suddenly said, "This is the trigger that led to the outbreak of World War I..."

Before John finished speaking, he lowered his head and meditated. Wei Mingye looked at the night scene outside the window and was also meditating. Only Manion looked at the two of them in confusion, at a loss.

After a long time, Wei Mingye sighed, "Okay, I think our structure is a bit too big, and I don't think so. Time is so chaotic now, and the hand of reshaping is doing it here and there, making time even more chaotic. The water is getting turbid, so let’s get started with the matter at hand. People from the “Clues Collection and Origin Tracing” department told me that there are still too few clues to determine what kind of creature this is, and we need to redouble our efforts.”
