mist [unlimited]

Eat, sleep, figure it out.

The pace of life in the capsule suddenly slowed down.

The four of them worked together, Li Chun used the remaining album to cut out the cards, Song Qinglan was in charge of drawing, and Ji Yushi started to learn the language of the bearded man by reading pictures.

Ji Yushi is indeed very gifted in language. All the meanings and pronunciations of the symbols can only be memorized once. It is like a humanoid repeater.

The efficiency is so high, the bearded man is very excited. During the rainy season, he only plans to study for two hours at a time, but the bearded man will always deliberately lengthen the time. Just like the head teacher he loved to drag the class when he was in high school.

For the rest of the time, Ji Yushi and Song Qinglan will analyze it.

They calculated from the time flow velocity of several known locations such as rainforest, space capsule and city, trying to find a balance value.

Ji Yushi has many different algorithms. He used his own communicator to project, and the formulas he wrote out became more and more long, and soon Song Qinglan couldn't keep up.

There is no time in the crack, except for the mechanized alarm clock that is still going, it is difficult for them to tell when it is time to rest.

Occasionally, Song Qinglan would find that Ji Yushi fell asleep after calculating.

Ji Yushi has an urgent and strong desire to go back to their time.

In the "transit station", the sky system once answered why they chose them: they are the team with a winning rate above the average among all guardian teams.

Song Qinglan knew very well that this high winning rate must have a lot to do with Ji Yushi's joining.

Two days later in the afternoon, Zhou Mingxuan fell into the rubbish mountain as expected.

After the earth-shattering noise, the bearded man prepared his chains and carts and went to pick up trash.

Together with him, Song Qinglan stopped the bearded man when he was about to bind Zhou Mingxuan with an iron chain: "Don't, I will do it myself. Anyone who passes by you will peel off their skin."

The bearded man couldn't understand, but he could feel Song Qinglan's meaning, blowing his beard and saying, "Mon Cala Woolrich!"

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Song Qinglan didn't know what kind of temper this big fool had lost, but she didn't care because of his weird personality.He picked up Zhou Mingxuan and put him in the cart. On the way, Zhou Mingxuan opened his eyes in a daze.

After all, Zhou Mingxuan's physical fitness is not bad. Although he can't move under the low temperature, he can still talk: "Captain Song...why is it so dark?"

After speaking, he fell into a coma again.

The aurora flashed and fluorescent flowers bloomed on both sides of the road. Song Qinglan suddenly had an idea.

Back in the space capsule, Li Chun rushed forward excitedly to help settle Zhou Mingxuan, but the big man disappeared.

I was still writing formulas during the monsoon rain, with a can of coffee beside me.

"Team Song." Ji Yushi raised his head, "What's wrong?"

Song Qinglan was still standing. Looking at it from his angle, Ji Yushi's eyes became a little round because his face was raised up, and he looked more vivid than usual.

Inadvertently, Song Qinglan had that strange feeling in her heart again.

He restrained his emotions and sat down next to Ji Yushi: "Our task is to fix the time. Simply put, it is to fix the loopholes in time. Is it possible that this task has nothing to do with the flow of time?"

The two sat side by side, and Ji Yushi showed a puzzled expression: "It has nothing to do with the flow of time?"

Song Qinglan bent the corners of her lips: "I mean, Consultant Ji, are we thinking too deeply about Tianqiong? Maybe it's not as smart as we thought."

Song Qinglan thinks that the so-called "Time Restorer" is the same as the "Dark Chaser" they needed to complete in the last Ouroboros mission. In fact, the mission direction is very simple and clear

"A system is a system after all. Even if it has self-awareness, it won't play charades with us on missions." Song Qinglan said, "The most it can do is that it doesn't know how to change things when it releases missions. .”

Ji Yushi picked up the coffee on the side and took a sip, subconsciously sipping off the residue on his lips.

Song Qinglan looked away: "When I found Lao Zhou just now, I suddenly thought of a question, why is it relatively dark around the space capsule, and there is no mirror phenomenon, while other places are the opposite?"

With the space capsule as the center, the surrounding area is dark, and there is no mirror projection of any kind up, down, left, or right.

The rainforest and the city are bright and have mirror projections.

Time flow is normal near the capsule.

In other places it is the opposite.

This question opened up Ji Yushi's new thinking, and he said "ah" softly: "Why didn't I think of that?"

It could be seen that Ji Yushi was a little annoyed, he frowned, and even forgot to drink the coffee when he put it to his lips again.

Ji Yushi thought for a while: "...why is it normal to be near the space capsule."

Suddenly, Ji Yushi thought of a possibility, and his eyes lit up: "Is it because of that period of darkness?"

As he said that, he raised his hand to turn off the formula diagram of the communicator, and gestured again in the air with his hand, just like when he understood the ring of Ouroboros, it was to help others and help himself to clarify his thoughts.

A new idea quickly became comfortable in his brain: "According to our experience and your observation results these days, we can confirm that the vicinity of the space capsule is surrounded by a completely dark substance. When we are going to time When the flow velocity is different, it will definitely pass there. And there are fluorescent flowers near the space capsule that are not found in the rainforest and the city. The fluorescent flowers will emit special light to illuminate the environment, so the flow velocity is normal in the time period near the space capsule. Then, This difference must have something to do with the darkness we passed through."

Song Qinglan quietly waited for him to continue, not wanting to interrupt his train of thought.

During the rainy season, I drew a circle on the projection to represent the space capsule, and drew a circle of black material around it, and suddenly smiled a little: "I think Einstein's coffin board will not be able to hold it down."

He turned his head: "Team Song, in the general theory of relativity, it is believed that massive objects will bend space-time. For example, dark matter is such a massive object, but dark matter does not interact with electromagnetic waves and does not emit light. No instrument can observe it. Of course, this is different from our current situation, but we may be able to borrow such a theory."

During the monsoon rain, he quickly drew pictures in the air and explained: "Look, it's very dark near the space capsule, and it feels heavy when you walk in, because there are many such substances wrapped there. If this black unknown substance is really the ultimate If the culprit that affects the abnormality of space-time bending—"

Thinking about such a world according to the general theory of relativity, Einstein estimated that he would really be unable to hold down the coffin board.

"We have to disperse it." Song Qinglan understood Ji Yushi's meaning, and didn't mind going wild, "Like the vicinity of the space capsule, let the darkness be filled with special light."

The source of the light is the humble fluorescent flower.

"It's full of loopholes." Ji Yushi said, "But you can give it a try."

The closest test site to the space capsule is the city outside the outer cabin door. Stepping out of the outer cabin door wall, the first thing they see is darkness.

Everyone did what they said, and before Zhou Mingxuan woke up, they went out to pick flowers.

A good trip to another world decryption turned into picking flowers, and everyone felt a little dramatic.

But there will be no loss of meat if you try it. After a while, they brought the collected fluorescent flowers back to the space capsule.

The bearded man had already returned, and he was very angry when he saw that they were planning to open the outer cabin door again, and screamed.

Ji Yushi and him were able to have a little conversation. After they had a brief communication, the bearded man barely restrained his temper and followed them to watch.

Li Chun took the initiative to act as a laborer, and as soon as the bearded man opened the door, he threw out the fluorescent flowers one after another.

The faint light accumulated less and became more, and soon illuminated the dark road that was only one step away, revealing the mirror image of the city on the left and right.

It may still be that there is too little light, and the place is not fully illuminated, so the effect cannot be seen.

Li Chundao: "What to do, we have already picked all the flowers nearby, even if we add the garbage mountain, it is not enough."

The bearded man probably understood that they were doing an experiment, and kept gesturing to the monsoon.

Ji Yushi then translated: "Big beard means that if we need more, we can grow them."

"Seed?" Song Qinglan stood in front of the cabin door, unable to understand.

"Oh my god, how many plants and how long do we have to wait?" Li Chun was startled, "Wait, we'll be fucking old when we get it done?"

"The bearded man said that this kind of flower can bloom in a week." Ji Yushi said his thoughts, "But that's a week near the space capsule, what if we take them to the rainforest?"

The time in the rainforest is almost 24 times faster than here.

That is to say, they only need to spend less than a day to harvest.

"Okay." Song Qinglan agreed without thinking, "Chun'er and I will go to collect plants first, and we will go together when Lao Zhou wakes up."

Planting flowers in the cracks of time and space - an act of human confusion.

However, everyone feels that nothing is impossible in this world.

Song Qinglan carried Shenmian on her shoulders when she went out, she didn't look like a newly appointed flower farmer, but more like she was going to fight monsters.

During the monsoon rains, he stayed to communicate with the bearded man.

He had to figure out why Big Beard and the others came here, because he had an intuition that Big Beard still had many clues waiting for them to discover.

The bearded man opened a new can of beer and filled half of it with his head raised, leaving foam on his beard.

This time, what they want to exchange is how many people the bearded man has seen here, and where those people have gone.

"Knock knock."

The two stopped.

"Knock knock."

The knock on the door was still ringing.

They looked at the small room at the same time, Zhou Mingxuan hadn't woken up yet, so it couldn't be him.

But the knock on the door did indeed come from inside the capsule.

The bearded man blinked his blue eyes, and when he saw Ji Yushi took out a silver pistol from under his sofa cushion, he was dumbfounded.

During the monsoon rains, I found my diamond bird early.

The bearded man can't escape his eyes when he hides things.

Ji Yushi made a gesture to keep quiet, and loaded the diamond bird very neatly. He was obviously a weak person, but when he picked up the gun, people couldn't take their eyes off.

The two walked around with the knock on the door, and finally came to the outer cabin door.

He was on guard during the monsoon rain, while the bearded man pulled open the outer hatch.

Standing outside the door was a young man who looked about the same age as Ji Yu.

He was wearing a black combat uniform with a 12 logo written on his chest, and he was slightly taken aback: "Who are you?"

Ji Yushi was also stunned.

At this time, footsteps came from behind, and Li Chun hurriedly shouted: "Consultant Ji!! It's over!!"

The tone was terrified and panicked to the extreme.

During the monsoon rains, he had to leave people to the burly beard and quickly returned to the control room.

Then, he saw a miniature version of Song Qinglan who looked only seven or eight years old and had a particularly smelly face.

After living in Ji Yushi for 25 years, it was the first time I understood the feeling that people often use to describe their mood: one head and two big ones.
