After spending half a month in Pingcheng City, Xia Yinan really realized that he had really traveled through time.

He didn't try to open the door and go to another world. After all, when he came before, Pingcheng City was still under the threat of infected people. He couldn't detect the information of other places until he died, so now, he seems to have regained this opportunity.

This has never happened before, as long as it ends in death every time, he can no longer go back to that time, and he has never tried to be forced to time travel.What these indicate, he is not clear.

Li Shuo recovered all his memories on the seventh day after traveling over.

He was still arguing with Nichkhun, wandering about in the army every day, occasionally commanding battles.It’s just that wars are not frequent recently, and he has a lot of free time, so he harassed Nichkhun every day, proudly watching the flower peacock try to get angry gracefully but failed in the end.

"In this matter, the two of you combined are no more than ten years old." Xia Yinan summed it up like this, "It's really too busy to panic."

At this time, Xu Cheng was still under Li Shuo's command and was not transferred to Nichkhuna as an adjutant.Getting used to the appearance of "judgment", Xia Yinan felt uncomfortable seeing him at first,

But indeed, as the professor remembered, he was a nice old man with a sunny smile.

Among the two worried superiors, Xu Cheng was the most worried subordinate, but he was not good at words, so he could only stand by the side dumbly, embarrassingly mediating the situation.

There are descendants of a certain meritorious war horse here, and the Pingcheng military vacated a place to raise them.Usually when Xu Cheng was free, he would take some carrots to feed these snorting comrades.

Among them, there is a red horse who is closest to him, after all, he was raised by him since he was a child.

Xu Cheng is not very good at naming, so he calls the red horse "Big Red Big Red" every day. When Xia Yinan was passing by once, he accidentally saw Xu Cheng standing with the tall red horse, chattering about something.People who obviously don't like to talk, but when they meet these animals, they talk a lot.

This scene made Xia Yinan think of the knight and his galloping horse in the dilapidated buildings in Pingcheng many years later.

Seeing him from a distance, Xu Cheng smiled shyly, "Why is the professor free today?"

"The experiment was quite successful. We took a little vacation." Xia Yinan replied, showing him a friendly smile as always. How many points were faked and how many were sincere? I don't know anymore.

When he was leaving, he could still see Xu Cheng taking out a fresh carrot from the bucket, handing it to the red horse, and continuing to mutter.

The research and development of the exoskeleton is still going on, this difficulty is nothing to Xia Yinan, he is just hesitating.

Before the exoskeleton was perfected, it had already been put into the battlefield by the alliance. Later, the battle was fierce, and the content of "faith" in it was increased, which eventually led to the corrosion of the human body, and the birth of the revelation virus into the world, which led to the later all stories.

He can deliberately delay the progress of the experiment, but can everything after that really change accordingly?Research and development will continue, even if there is no professor, they will still be able to go to war in a few years.Taking a step back, even if there is no exoskeleton, will such a virus really not come into the world?

From a long-term analysis, this is an inevitable event.Unless from the very beginning, "faith" does not exist.Unless he didn't use the yellow seal in the previous world.

It is impossible for him to do these two points in this time period.

After using the Yellow Seal, there is no room for repentance, and he has no way to go to the time when Qiao Lang did not invent the "letter" to prevent everything from happening.

This is an unsolvable paradox.Xia Yinan could only watch the exoskeleton slowly improve day by day, and everything moved towards the original ending.He searched for the existence of his homeland in the vast data, but there was no result at all.

One day, when Li Shuo provoked Ni Kun again and returned happily, Xia Yinan stopped him: "Let's go to Luo Island to see."

"What clue did you find?" Li Shuo put his shoulders on him.

"At that time, Hilde, led by Ni Kun, found information about Zhou Chenyi and the others at the former site of the military headquarters." Xia Yinan said, "But now there is no information in the military headquarters, so we searched for it by ourselves in advance. You know, I Always one of the flashing memories, seeing that lighthouse on Roe Island."

"If you want to go, you can only go during this time." Li Shuo said, "In a few months, after this period of peace, Luo Island will be occupied by the empire and renamed Maestra."

"Yes." Xia Yinan said, "Let's find a way and go there together. See what's the difference between there and hundreds of years ago."

Three days later, Xia Yinan took several people to Luo Island in the name of scientific investigation.And Li Shuo "coincidentally" was free, so he volunteered to escort the research team there, and brought Xu Cheng with him by the way.

The day before his departure, Xia Yinan had been studying the "Wildland Fire" case that Claire had mentioned to them.

Claire believed that was the moment when one of the gods, called Cthugha, came to the world.The farmers next to the incident area all lost their minds, and after witnessing everything, they drew a scroll on the wall with blood——

A gigantic, vital flame descended from the sky, brighter than the sun, and spread its radiance across the field, so that no one could see its brightness, except the worshiper.

The simple figure in the painting stands in front of the flame and stretches out his hand towards it, as if accepting something.Flames flowed from the god, hovering around his hands.

In the next image, the man is in flames.The heart was partially pierced, and blood splattered all over the place.In the last picture, a more surging flame replaced the heart and burned in his brand new body.

Xia Yinan didn't understand what the picture scroll meant, but instinctively felt that what Claire said was true.After all, the sudden high temperature and madness at that time were definitely not caused by human beings.

So if this scene is true, where did this worshiper go and what did he do with this power?

Cooperating with a large amount of information from "Xin", combined with the theory of the Church of Eternal Fire, Xia Yinan repeatedly compared and studied these things, and did not fall asleep until very late.

In the dream, he felt a very obvious dragging feeling, which was very disturbing for some reason, and his body was unnaturally heavy.When he woke up again, there was golden sunlight in front of his eyes, and the sound of seabirds came.

This is the sunrise at Habour.He is back.

The morning in the harbor was still peaceful, and nothing seemed to have changed except the date.Li Shuo was lying beside him, and the two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"... Something must have gone wrong." At noon, Xia Yinan said at the dinner table.

Li Shuo was picking up vegetables for the dog egg: "Don't you have any special feelings?"

"Every time I pass through passively, it is when I fall asleep." Xia Yinan said, "I didn't have a clear feeling last time, but this time, I obviously felt a drag. It was like having a nightmare. Someone is determined to drag me to this port."

Li Shuo's chopsticks paused, but he still said relaxedly: "Maybe your ability is out of control for a while, maybe it will be fine after a while. Anyway, these two worlds are quite free, you can find your own material."

Xia Yinan narrowed his eyes: "Do you know something?"

"It's just that there are many kinds of speculation," Li Shuo said, "you can definitely think of things I can think of. They are all uncertain things, and it's useless to think about them now. Anyway, time in Pingcheng City is still going on, maybe wait We just happened to be on Luo Island in the past, so we won't delay things."

Maybe it's because the time he left was relatively short. During this time, Er Gang's memory was very complete, so complete that it seemed that Xia Yinan was really himself, and he passed this time safely.

Just like in the past, when his consciousness is not here, this body behaves exactly the same as him, and the way of thinking is not different, even he himself can't find anything wrong with it.

It was as if there was another him who temporarily took over all of this.

In the afternoon, Goudan pestered Li Shuo without saying a word, but looked at him with blue eyes, full of anticipation and urging.Only then did Xia Yinan remember that Li Shuo had agreed a few days ago that he would take Goudan to see the playground.

There used to be a small amusement park here in the port of Aue, but it was completely abandoned during the war years.

The two drove there, only to see a large number of dusty and crude facilities.Many seats have been removed, and the rest are covered with vines, which look extremely desolate.But this is already the best entertainment place that can be found nearby.

But Goudan was very happy, and ran into the iron railing of the playground, and first rushed to the farthest roller coaster.

That was the crudest roller coaster Xia Yinan had ever seen in his life.Rather than calling it a roller coaster, it is more like a miner's car for young children. The highest track height is less than five or six meters. There is no excitement in the ride, which is really perfunctory.

"After all, this is a small place, and there is no large amusement park." Li Shuo said beside him, "It's enough to make do with it. Don't always stay in the house to research information, it's better to go out for a walk once in a while."

Xia Yinan glanced at him: "That's good. So are you going to invite me to ride on that carousel?"

He was referring to the half-destroyed wooden horse, which was decorated with what seemed to him to be a stupid colored lantern, most of which were broken.

Li Shuo hooked his shoulder and laughed loudly: "If you want to sit, I can accompany you!"

Goudan over there has already run under the roller coaster, fumbled here and there on the track, and tried to get on the seat of the roller coaster.There is no electricity now, and for many years to come, until the outbreak of the apocalypse virus, the war is not over, so this thing will never be able to move.

Li Shuo went over to explain to Goudan how those facilities work, and the kid listened very carefully, his eyes widened, surprise and longing could condense into water from his eyes.

His favorites were the crappy roller coaster, and the models of the castles in the middle of the amusement park, even though they hadn't been built.But Goudan stared at them intently, as if he wanted to understand all the structures clearly, and one day be able to make them by himself.

Xia Yinan had no place to sit, so he wiped the seats of the carousel casually, and actually sat on his side, propping his head to watch two people, one big and one small, walking around, all dancing.

This scene was so funny and harmonious that he couldn't help but chuckled softly.

After more than half an hour, Li Shuo finally came back with the dog egg.Li Shuo pointed to a dynamometer, and then pointed his eyes at Goudan to Xia Yinan: "Let that brother show you how to play this, okay?"

Goudan was still a little afraid of Xia Yinan, so he glanced at him timidly.

Li Shuo hurriedly waved behind him, signaling Xia Yinan to come over.

Xia Yinan didn't mind this interaction at all, so he jumped off the wooden horse and walked over leisurely.

The instrument Li Shuo mentioned is a very common dynamometer. As long as you hit it hard with a hammer, and the dynamometer iron block rises to a certain value, you can receive the corresponding prize.

When Xia Yinan stepped forward, Li Shuo whispered to him, "Take it easy, this thing won't stand up to you, as long as the value looks better."

Of course Xia Yinan knew that he should pull back, but he didn't know exactly how fast. After all, he rarely walked into such places.Without a hammer, he stood on the dynamometer with bare fists, and tentatively smashed down——

The iron indicator marks flew up, literally.It violently broke through the top barrier, and landed on the ground a few meters away, splashing dust.The force measuring point exploded, and the whole machine leaned crookedly and creaked.

Li Shuo: "..."

Xia Yinan: "..."

Goudan's eyes lit up instantly, and he clapped desperately, looking at Xia Yinan's eyes with admiration.On the way back, Li Shuo whispered to him, "Tell me, how can I explain to him that normal people can't do this?"

"Don't explain," Xia Yinan couldn't help it, "When he grows up, he will understand naturally."

Li Shuo glanced at Goudan, who was still in high spirits, and suddenly felt the same pain in his heart: "If it were me, I would be so sad when I grow up and understand."

Xia Yinan was a little speechless, and then smiled again: "Are you sad? If you are sad, wouldn't the child just kiss it?"

Li Shuo's eyes lit up, and he put his shoulders on his shoulder: "I'm very sad now, really, I'm so sad that I'm dying."

"I knew you would say that," Xia Yinan threw his hand down, "You are not a child anymore, so I won't kiss you."

"I'm not a child, can I do something an adult can do when I'm sad?" Li Shuo's eyes brightened even more.

"What's been going on in your head all day." Xia Yinan moved closer, and smiled under his breath, "But, yes."

When we returned to Port E, the setting sun had already lit up the entire sea surface, and a few white birds stood on the wooden stakes, combing their feathers leisurely.There was a smell of salt in the wind, and a thick cloud was approaching in the far distance.

This is the first time the two of them have seen rain in so many days in Port of Ecuador.Most of the time, the place is bathed in bright golden sunshine, and the warmth always likes to take care of the port.

In the eyes of the residents of the port, rainy days are really not a good omen. After all, this is not a good weather for fishing.

Another reason is because of a local legend.

According to the legend, 87 years ago—or maybe 88 years ago, when this port was not called Ergang, the first person to live by the sea was a family of fishermen.

There was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in a fisherman's family. He grew up by the sea since he was a child. He was tall and handsome, and he was very cute when he smiled.

On a certain day, a lost traveler came here.He was hungry and cold, and had a serious stomach problem, leaning against a corner and dying.The rain fell from the sky, stripping the temperature from his body little by little.He half-opened his lost eyes, looking at the blue sky.

A small umbrella appeared above his head.Feeling the disappearance of the raindrops, the visitor slowly raised his eyes.The first thing he saw was a pair of damp boots, then a simple white shirt.

"Sir, are you okay?" the boy asked, with no malicious speculation in his eyes.

The traveler squeezed out a reply from the back of his throat: "No, I'm not well at all, the journey was too long." This was the first time he was able to openly admit his weakness after so many years.He felt unprecedentedly tired again, wrapped up his clothes and didn't want to pay attention to strangers.

But the boy continued to ask: "Sir, do you need a cup of hot tea?" Seeing that the traveler didn't answer, he said to himself, "You also need a sofa and a blanket, it's really too cold here when it rains ..."

The traveler interrupted him: "Go quickly. I will not stay here for a second. I have been walking like this for many years, and there is no reason to stay here. No one can understand me, or keep up with me, You will not be the exception."

"But sir, this is a good place. It's cloudy and rainy now, but when it's sunny, it's full of sunshine and white sails. If you just sit on the shore and bask in the sun, you won't have any worries." The boy said.

The traveler still frowned: "Let's go. I've seen too many places."

"If you are willing to have a fire with me, of course I am willing to leave this cold rain."

The traveler raised his eyes again, and bumped into those dark eyes.The boy held out his hand to him——

He really held it up and walked out of the cold rain.

After that, the sun shines brightly every day, and the seabirds sing joyously and spread their wings overlooking their territory.Countless times they nestled together on the sofa and chatted, chatting about what they had seen and heard all day.

The traveler feels that he has finally found his fellow traveler, and the wandering and drifting in the past will come to an end.

The end of the story is written on the sails.The boy was heading towards the horizon in a boat, and the travelers followed him as usual.A few hours later, the rain fell heavily on the sky, and the rough seas swept everything.It's been a long voyage.

The traveler waited for a long time.Wait until all the white birds fly away on this day, wait until the countless sunsets are swallowed up by the mountains and replace the brilliance of the bright moon again, wait until the lonely sea is finally lined with many buildings, and people come and go.

"Sometimes, I really feel like reunion after a long absence," he wrote on the letter.

He thought this was probably the most literary sentence in his life, but he didn't even know where to send this letter.After thinking for a while, he added a sentence: "And what neither you nor I can change is that this is a farewell."

The story begins in the iron blue sky, grows in the brackish sea breeze of the port, hovers with the seabirds and entangles in the depths of memory, and the ending is written on the white sails.

The young man waved his hand to say goodbye, watched by the traveler.This is a place of reunion and parting.

Almost like a curse, there will be many more stories of parting like this in the future.The people on the sails and the people on the train meet here, and finally they are separated.

The people nearby named the port the Port of Eau, because of the farewells here.In a sense, it's not such a nice place, even though it's sunny all year round.

Whenever it is cloudy and rainy, the atmosphere in Egang is always not so good. The dark sky weighs on the top of the head, and all the white birds are gone.Xia Yinan and Li Shuo returned home in such weather.

Goudan, who had been crazy all day, was tired and went upstairs to sleep after taking a shower.In the middle of the night, their breath was hot, and they seemed a little crazy amidst the noisy rain. In the cool air of the rainy night, only each other's heartbeat was warm.

The next day was still a sunny day, and Egang slowly woke up in the morning light. People were walking on the beach, and there were waves splashing by fish schools in the distance.

Such a lackluster day can indeed make people forget everything unconsciously, leave behind the exhaustion of the journey, and stop forever.
