Tiandi Baiju

"Leyao?" Zhou Luoyang knocked on the door of the next bedroom a few times, wanting to make sure that Leyao was still safe.

Du Jing sat at the dining table and glanced at his phone, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night.

"It was Le Yao who took it away," Du Jing said, "The other party was very clear-headed, and asked him to take away the Eye of Versailles before midnight."

"Impossible!" Zhou Luoyang said, "Du Jing, I'm going to be angry when you say that, he's my younger brother! Le Yao! Wake up!"

Du Jing got up, found the key, and opened the door of Leyao's bedroom in twos and twos.

The quilt was scattered, and Le Yao was not in the room.

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Du Jing said: "He used the Eye of Versailles before this, and because he is your younger brother, I didn't raise any objections."

Zhou Luoyang walked to Le Yao's desk and saw a note left on it.

On the note is a map with the location marked on it, and the way of drawing is obviously Le Yao's handwriting.

Zhou Luoyang whispered, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Du Jing said, "It was my carelessness, Luoyang."

Zhou Luoyang didn't know what to say, why did Le Yao move this watch?He was held hostage?No, he can ask them for help most of the time. When they were together, Le Yao was not threatened at all.

And even if he was threatened, it was impossible for Du Jing not to notice something strange.

"Why would he..."

"Listen to me, Luoyang," Du Jing said seriously, "What is our relationship now?"

Zhou Luoyang avoided Du Jing's gaze, but Du Jing said again: "So there's no need to apologize, I'll go find him right away."

"Yes," Zhou Luoyang said, "You're right, change your clothes and go find him together."

Du Jing left quickly and got into the car. Zhou Luoyang got into the co-driver and fastened his seat belt.Du Jing said: "He must be in Su Pu's hands now. Since Su Pu has looked for you, he must have looked for him. He is really too courageous."

"He thinks you killed our father," Zhou Luoyang said helplessly, "He...he will definitely listen to Su Pu!"

"I did," Du Jing said, "it's just not yet."

Zhou Luoyang replied: "It hasn't happened yet, it just hasn't happened."

Zhou Luoyang still hasn't figured out why Du Jing appeared at Haneda Airport at a certain moment in the past. At least it has become an established fact for them now, but Du Jing made this decision at a certain moment in the future. Has not happened yet.

Just like changing Yu Jianqiang's death, perhaps the past can also be changed.

"I'm afraid this is a trap." Zhou Luoyang said.

"There is no other way," Du Jing said, "The Eye of Versatile is in Le Yao's hands. If we don't get it back, we won't be able to go back to the previous day, or go back in time repeatedly."

"Su Pu must know the function of the Eye of Versailles!" Zhou Luoyang understood instantly.

"Yes." Du Jing said calmly, "Sure enough, it is more difficult to deal with than Wang Shunchang. Su Pu asked Le Yao to take away the Eye of Versailles before twelve o'clock when we were not paying attention. And the next morning Put it back in place before going out."

"But since they have it, why don't they just take it away?"

"Because the other party can't confirm which one is true." Du Jing murmured.

Zhou Luoyang suddenly realized one of the most critical issues. The real identity of the person who was manipulating all this behind the scenes was about to be revealed.

According to the map, Du Jing stopped in front of a building at 04:30.

It was the office of a Sino-Russian cooperative company, and it was also the address of the Russian Chamber of Commerce in Wan City, China. It was very quiet inside and brightly lit.

Du Jing glanced at Zhou Luoyang, the two were silent, Du Jing drove the car into the chamber of commerce, and the security guard let the car go tacitly.

Su Pu stood at the entrance, patiently waiting for the arrival of the two.

"It seems that you have already experienced January [-]rd for the second time." Su Pu said, "Please come in, Swatanovsky is waiting for you inside."

"I mean," Zhou Luoyang murmured, "So the person who met you at the Peninsula Hotel was a Russian."

"welcome!"

When they walked into the large living room on the second floor, there were four bodyguards standing in the living room. Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing were searched.

"Routine inspection," said Svatanlowski, smoking a cigar, "to confirm that no guns were brought in."

"You think too much," Zhou Luoyang replied, "China has gun control."

"Where is Zhou Leyao?" Du Jing asked in a deep voice.

"How many times have you been here?" Svatanlovski's accent was very fluent this time, and it was obvious that the reasons for not being able to speak Chinese before were all pretended.After thinking about it carefully, he understood, and said, "First time experiencing January [-]rd? Well, so you don't know."

As he spoke, he gestured to the Ukrainian beauty beside him, and said, "Lily."

Lily bowed and walked out. Svatanlovski said: "Don't worry, since you are the descendants of Yuan Zhou, I will not harm you in accordance with the friendship between our two families."

Svatanlovski looked at the two of them and said, "Boss Zhou, is my watch repaired?"

"No." Zhou Luoyang said, took out the body of another Eye of Versatile, and threw it at him.

Svatanlovski smiled mysteriously and said, "I reminded you to be careful, tourists."

Zhou Luoyang seemed to hear another strange voice in an instant. Although it was short, the familiar tone...

"You are the ruler?" Zhou Luoyang asked in disbelief.

Du Jing: "!!!"

"You guys performed very well in the secret room," Svatanlovski said with a smile. "It's a pity that Hong Hou died, and my bet can no longer be fulfilled. But it doesn't matter, through a game, you can find the treasures handed down by the family , what a surprise..."

Du Jing said in a deep voice: "You noticed us as early as when you were on the peninsula."

Swatanlovski said: "Because I have seen the qualifiers sent by Honghou."

Zhou Luoyang: "!!!"

All the clues were linked together in an instant - the Russians were originally customers of the dark web, and before going to the Sotheby's auction, they had already seen Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing in the preliminaries on the video!At that time, they were still playing in the secret room in Wan City!

So at the auction, the Russian businessman immediately noticed the two of them and notified Hong Hou privately.

However, at the same time, he also discovered that Du Jing was wearing the Eye of Versatile.

"About the Eye of Versatile," Svatanlovski said, "there is a legend in my family, and it is already the third generation of me. Back then, my family relied on it to kill After the October Revolution, he made his fortune and became a great aristocrat for generations."

"Leyao!" Zhou Luoyang looked towards the side of the hall, and Lily pushed Leyao over.The bodyguard pushed over the sofa, and Svatanlovski said: "Please sit down, everyone, I promise I won't hurt you, as long as you cooperate."

Now, even if Du Jing had the best abilities, he couldn't escape with Zhou Luoyang and his two brothers. After all, Le Yao couldn't escape at all.

"Brother," Le Yao said, "do you know what Du Jing did?"

"No," Zhou Luoyang said, "it's not like that, listen to me, Le Yao! Why didn't you ask me first, and listen to others?!"

Le Yao murmured: "You won't believe it, you only believe in Du Jing."

Du Jing suddenly said: "More things, let's talk about them after we go back."

He sat down on the sofa, without looking at Le Yao, and said in a deep voice, "Go on, Svatanlovski, I really want to know the truth."

Svatanlovsky took out another Eye of Versatile from his pocket, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "This watch is in my hands, even if you succeed in turning back time and returning to this day , still can't get it."

"Yes," Du Jing admitted, and said, "You are very smart. Even though we have this ability, you still set up a series of schemes and successfully broke this time loop."

Zhou Luoyang was blocked by bodyguards, preventing him from getting in touch with Le Yao, and Su Pu watched Le Yao from the sidelines.

At this time, Su Pu put one hand on Le Yao's shoulder, indicating that it's okay.

Swatan grinned and said, "It seems that Mr. Du's curiosity about it is more important than his own safety."

Du Jing stared at the Eye of Versetti silently, without speaking.

"Where do we start?" Svatanlovsky stood up, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and held a cigar in the other, walked to the window, began to recall the past, and explained, "You may not know what it is. The name, is it not? Now I can tell you that its real name is very awkward in Russian."

Svatanlovsky spoke a string of Russian, and said: "Translated into Chinese, it should be called 'light particle countercurrent runner'." In [-], Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov After the second year of the October Revolution, he put forward the idea of ​​people with superpowers, and looked for the relative relationship between time and space.”

"It's a very common phenomenon in Russia." Zhou Luoyang replied, "But I'm more concerned about how your family knew about it."

Svatanlowski said: "The real countercurrent wheel of light particles was indeed in our hands at first. After the fall of the Scandinavian sect, one of my great-great-grandmothers said so? Put it It was given to the Vatican Church as a relic, and Russia got it, and through craftsmen, made the first watch."

With his back turned to the hall, Swatanlovsky sighed and said, "Of course, they haven't been able to study too many of its functions, and they can't even activate the most basic functions of this holy object. They only know that it is unusual, is it A powerful weapon left by alien civilization in human society."

"It was returned to its original owner," Svatanlovski said, "and the state gave it back to my grandfather. During an unintentional commissioning, my grandfather activated its mysterious power and began to gain the power of the countercurrent wheel of light particles. Time travel function."

Du Jing said: "So your family has obtained a wealth of wealth and the power to dominate one side."

"Yeah." Svatanlovsky turned his head, winked at them with a smile, and said, "There is no medicine for regret in life. Sometimes one wrong step will kill you, but my grandfather survived many struggles. However, every time they embarked on the incomparably correct path, they finally brought this family to its peak."

"But it seems that he is not too careful." Du Jing had already guessed what happened later, and said, "It's like Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. How can such an important treasure be taken care of carelessly?"

Swatanlovsky said: "You should be proud of the wisdom of the Chinese. After all, not everyone can think of replacing it with an imitation. After all, my grandfather believed in Yuan Zhou so much, even the most important I also treated him frankly, just to help him. But this watch was changed without anyone noticing."

Zhou Luoyang understood in an instant. He seemed to see his great-grandfather named Zhou Yuan doing business in the Caucasus region. He met a Russian, that is, Svatanlovsky's grandfather. By chance, he got a glimpse of his secret. Out of greed, he made an identical Eye of Versatile and replaced it.

Until the Russians discovered this, it was impossible to go back in time.

"I'm really sorry," Zhou Luoyang said, "If everything is as you said..."

"No," Svatanlovski said, "no need to apologize, Mr. Zhou, our family has long been indifferent, maybe this is God's will instead? After all, such an important weapon is in our hands , maybe one day, it will bring the bitter fruit of destruction to the family, just like I reminded you at the auction."

Zhou Luoyang didn't speak, and Svatanlovski said: "If you didn't have it, how could you be targeted by me? After the Zhou family went away, my grandfather gradually let go of his worries and left the imitation product as his own. A memorial from a friend. After many years, I finally brought up the old story again and initiated a commission to the Pacific Rim Detective Organization to let them investigate your father, that is, Zhou Song."

Le Yao and Zhou Luoyang remained silent.

"In the end, Su Pu took over it." Svatanlovski glanced at Su Pu and said, "However, there is still a lot of fate between our two families."

Du Jing didn't give Svatanlovski more opportunities to confuse people, but instead said: "Now that you have it, what else do you want to do?"

Svatanlowski pressed down the cigar and said calmly: "You can't use it, or you can't properly activate its most important function."

Zhou Luoyang always knew that this watch must have some secrets, but they couldn't use it.

Du Jing said: "All ears."

"Of course," Svatarowski continued, "I only know about its power from my grandfather's diary."

He sat down again, picked up the watch, looked at the outer dial, and said, "Do you think that countercurrents only happen in 24 hours? No, my dear friends."

At that moment, Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang held their breath, their hearts almost stopped beating.

"It seems that you haven't tried it?" Svatarowski continued.

Since the watch was repaired, Du Jing didn't dare to touch it, except for winding it, for fear that it would be adjusted randomly and some troublesome function would be activated.

"Turn the hour hand and the dial at the same time," said Svatanlowski, "and when you finally reset, you will go back countless days and nights until the day you choose. You can go back in time, and you will go to the past." future."

Svatanlovsky gently pulled the winding button, and there was a soft sound. For the convenience of his adjustment, the watch strap of the Eye of Vercetti had been removed. At this moment, he put the watch body on the table, and tried to Rotating the peripheral date dial, the right hand begins to carefully turn the pointer.

"Are you sure?" Du Jing said, "You can't change anything, at least you can't change the present."

Svatanlovski didn't speak, but only paused for a while.

Du Jing said again: "You are just traveling in parallel time and space, and returning to yourself in another timeline, you are just deceiving yourself..."

"Parallel time and space?" Svatanlovski suddenly laughed, and said, "This is the explanation you got from Yuan Zhou's records?"

Swatanlovsky stopped and explained: "There is no parallel time and space at all. You just don't understand the principle of light particle countercurrent. In all time and space, you, me, and they... are all the same person, you My body has never traveled through time, and the only one who has been stripped of this dimension is..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, pointed to his head, and said, "Soul, that is, consciousness."
