Ningcheng.

Outside Venus Bar.

Drunk people came out of the back door of the bar jostling.In the light and shadow of the neon lights, someone noticed a man leaning against the door.

The man was smoking a cigarette and was wearing an outdated windbreaker, as if it came out of nowhere.But the other party is simply a natural hanger, with his proud height and almost perfect body proportions, this kind of clothes give him a different temperament, and he has been raised several grades abruptly.

It's a pity that, looking up along his figure, his face is hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

Meeting such a man here, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, was enough for a bold person to go forward and strike up a conversation.

"Handsome guy." The young boy with dyed chestnut hair walked over, his trousers were loosely stretched across his waist, revealing his thin hipbones, "A date?"

A red star flashed between the man's slender fingers.

Smoke rings came out of his mouth.

"No date."

The voice of the other party is also easy to hear. It belongs to the mid-bass that is not too thick, but very flavorful. When speaking, the resonance effect makes people itch.

The young boy was very bold. He got closer and hooked his fingers on the other's belt provocatively: "Don't be so cruel, let's go play together, it's better than smoking a cigarette alone here."

He let go of the belt, but didn't leave.

He continued down like a snake, and was about to make the next move intentionally when someone grabbed his wrist.

The young boy was caught off guard by a sharp pain and cried out.

"No date."

The man said it again, with biting coldness in his voice, and said mercilessly: "Go away."

The young boy was thrown off.

In this way, the man's face hidden in the shadows is also exposed.

It was a very ordinary and ordinary face, the eyebrows were not thick enough, the nose was not strong enough, even the lips were extremely flat, except for a pair of eyes that were quite deep, but they also had a hint of prey.Can't help but be disappointing, this ordinary face does not match this coveted figure at all, it is a waste of the creator's masterpiece.

The young boy had a strong self-esteem, and was about to have a fit after being rejected, but he lost interest in seeing such a look, and swung his pinched wrist cursing away.

Venus is a gay bar in Ningcheng. The name sounds gaudy, but it is actually one of the few clean night spots.

However, the man showed a look of disgust. After driving away a fly, he felt that this kind of place was even more smoky.

He snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and easily flicked it into the trash can with his fingers.

Today he didn't find anyone he wanted to wait for.

Maybe that person won't come today.

He got up to leave, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and entered an alley.

The early winter night in Ningcheng was very cold, and the night wind was like a knife.

The man walked through the never-ending night of Ningcheng, walked through one alley after another, walked through the bustling business district of Ningcheng, walked through the flyovers between high-rise buildings, and walked through the bustling noise.

He lives in a cheap hotel.

With a little simple, unremarkable work to do, you can meet your rent with no impact.

The area where the hotel is located is dark and poor. There are small vendors who get up early and work hard at night, young people who live in the basement and work hard, and there are also gangsters who are not doing their jobs or prostitutes who are smiling and welcoming customers.He is out of tune with this place, but blends in wonderfully.

He listened to the murmur of laughter in the next room, opened the door, and felt the switch on the damp wall.

"Snapped."

The moment the dim light came on, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

There is one more person in the room.

The visitor was wearing glasses and a white shirt, and was under forty years old.He had just entered middle age, which made the visitor look quite young, with a bookish air that made people feel a little familiar, but it was completely different from that coldness.

"Professor Sheng." He said coldly.

"Captain Song." Sheng Yun's brows were slightly wrinkled, "You're hard to find."

They had already met in the Rubik's Cube mission, and it was very easy for Sheng Yun to fully understand his identity.

But Song Qinglan used a simulated face, which could simulate different combinations of facial features, so it was not convenient for Sheng Yun to search him.

"As a time witness from the future, I believe you must have recited the three laws of the sky: never change the past, never talk about the present, and never be obsessed with the future." Sheng Yun said, "Strictly speaking, you are not violating the law." These three, because you are obsessed with the past."

Song Qinglan raised her hand and lightly touched her ear, closing the simulated face.

His originally handsome and handsome facial features were exposed like this, and he used his original face to face Sheng Yun, and he made no secret of his indifference towards Sheng Yun.

Sheng Yun didn't mind this kind of dissatisfaction, but said: "The inspectors in 1456 haven't found you missing yet, but you travel frequently, even if you turn off the communicator, you will inevitably leave traces. It will be a matter of time before they find you. "

"It's very risky for you to come to me." Song Qinglan disdained, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the inspectors, and all previous efforts will be wasted?"

"Don't be afraid." Sheng Yun said, "Since you and Sheng Han came to find me, it means that I didn't leave any clues in your time and space, and you will go back to find out the truth one day, so I am safe."

As a father, Sheng Yun seemed too ruthless when he said these words.

As an elder, he is still young at this time, without dignity.

But Xie Si'an, the traitor of the Sky Twelve team, is right. Although Sheng Yun and Ji Yushi don't look alike, the temperament of the two of them and the way they talked during the analysis are very similar to a certain extent, and they are both calm. The type that people are afraid of is worthy of father and son.

Song Qinglan gritted her teeth.

Just being aware of such an insignificant point was enough to make his heart bleed.

He's not in the right state these days, and he knows it himself.

I can't close my eyes all night long, and if I fall asleep for a while, I will wake up with blood red hands.He is like a drug addict who is biting his bones. He has to jump over and over again to see what Ji Yu used to look like in time, and the burning desire will subside a little.

Just watching, can't do anything.

Can't do anything.

He didn't know if this continued, would he lose his mind and rush out desperately to let Ji Yushi know him.

Know him three or five years in advance.

What they will have happened in time in advance, regardless of the stability of time and space, the grandfather paradox, and the circle of fate.

He doesn't care about it all.

Be a defector.

Snatching away Ji Yushi before this incident happened, before he returned to the original time and space, the two fled to another time and space together.

Song Qinglan had this thought more than once.

Facing Sheng Yun's arrival, it was hard for Song Qinglan not to vent her anger on this "gone" elder, but the other party's calm tone made him feel incredible, and the anger towards Sheng Yun made him lose respect for Sheng Yun.

Song Qinglan sneered: "You are indeed safe. Seeing him being killed by mistake, you turned around and left."

Speaking of this, Song Qinglan's eyes suddenly turned red, and her eyes were full of anger, "I don't care about your so-called balance, or how much sacrifice you have made for this world, maybe you are indeed a great man in a certain sense, but you are completely He didn’t fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and he didn’t deserve to keep your death in his heart for 17 years!”

He lost his father at the age of eight.

Hypermnesia, cognitive impairment.

No one's childhood is spent like this.

Sheng Yun was bullied, but he didn't make any excuses.

He took off his glasses and pressed his brows in extreme exhaustion. He was obviously still young, but his hair was already gray.

"I originally thought that you might be very good friends." Sheng Yun murmured, "That's why he brought you with him on such an important day, but now it seems that's not the case... Your relationship is far from I think so."

"That's right," Song Qinglan directly declared the possession right, "He is mine."

Sheng Yun was not surprised at all.

He traced the traces of the captain surnamed Song in time and space, and the various performances of the other party were enough to explain any problem.

As an unfathomable scholar and a scientist who has seen the big picture, Sheng Yun's understanding of time, space and the world may be more than what the world imagined, perhaps even wider than Ji Yu's imagination.

Except for the moment when Ji Yushi was killed by mistake, Sheng Yun didn't show any gaffes.

Even now, who has witnessed his own death and has no choice but to travel through time and space to hide his identity, the shirt on his body is clean and wrinkle-free.

Song Qinglan: "Why, you still care about his sexual orientation?"

Sheng Yun shook his head: "No, I'm very happy. In the future that I can't see, someone will love him like this."

In fact, the time the two have been together after confirming their relationship can be counted on the fingers.

Song Qinglan's throat tightened.

Sheng Yun put on his glasses again and asked, "So, what step will you do for him?"

Song Qinglan didn't answer right away.

Because he grasped the deep meaning in Sheng Yun's tone very keenly, he clenched his fist subconsciously: "What do you mean?"

Sheng Yun said: "Or, are you willing to sacrifice for him, even if it is your life?"

"You know too little about us. We may have experienced as much as you." Song Qinglan replied through her teeth. "As long as I can change this ending, I can die for him 1000 times."

Sheng Yun was stunned by the arrogance and determination in the young man's tone.

Once upon a time, he had such courage. Although it was not for love, he was full of passion.

The space-time transition will make people forget the importance of time and ignore everything around them. He hasn't felt this way for a long time.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Sheng Yun said "very good", and returned to the hotel's dirty table, and opened the transparent panel he brought.

Song Qinglan stood there without moving, just staring at him closely.

"For me, several years have passed since that day." Sheng Yun said while typing on the keyboard, "In addition to looking for you in these years, I have also achieved some results."

Song Qinglan looked slightly surprised.

He knew that what Sheng Yun was talking about now was the "sky vault in the sense of all times", which was the parent system of the sky vault later.

The interface flickers.

The celestial logo appears in the holographic projection projected by the transparent panel.

Immediately afterwards, a mechanical female voice sounded: "Hello, Sheng Yun, welcome to Skydome. It is detected that your current time coordinate is November 1451, 11, 22 years have passed since your end point. The time and space of the current coordinates The number of fluctuations is 12, a total of 7 transition activities are interacting..."

Her voice made Song Qinglan feel familiar, and she was broadcasting the departure coordinates and destination coordinates of the 7 jumps. She spoke accurately and in detail, and even monitored the activity trajectories of all the sky branches in the world at this point in time.

This is the rudiment of "the vault of all ages".

Song Qinglan did not expect that Sheng Yun could be developed to this extent in such a short period of time.

"It's not my fault alone."

As if guessing what Song Qinglan was thinking, Sheng Yun said, "Besides me, there are many people like me in time and space who are working hard for this, and some of them have paid thousands of times more than me. For example, when you The one I saw in Rubik's Cube."

Song Qinglan suddenly thought of the fat middle-aged man who appeared with Sheng Yun in the Rubik's Cube, and also thought of the rumored crazy and deadly research and development team.

In other words, maybe they are not what the outside world guessed, but all of them used different ways to escape, hiding in a time and space where they were not noticed and working hard silently.

Seeing the change in Song Qinglan's expression, she obviously understood everything, Sheng Yun nodded to him.

"We got more than that."

Sheng Yun re-entered a piece of code.

Immediately afterwards, another softer, more human female voice appeared.

"Welcome, Song Qinglan, you are welcome to connect to Tianqiong. It is a pleasure to meet you again. It has been detected that you have performed and completed 13 A-level tasks, 21 B-level tasks, 2 super S-level tasks, and 1 S-level task. Current rating: super one star. Your rewards have been cleared, do you need to perform more tasks to get more rewards?"

Song Qinglan was really shocked now.

What kind of existence is time, time and space? For the first time, he felt that being in it was like a mess, and he deeply realized its horror and his own insignificance.

"When the prototype was just made, the complete body of the Sky Mother system appeared and replaced it." Sheng Yun said, "It's like... we only planted a seed, and it has already spread in an unknown distance. In the future, it will grow into a sky-shaking tree, and when the seeds appear, it has already controlled all time and space. Perhaps, this is the original meaning of 'the sky in the sense of all times'."

All ages cannot exist at the same time.

It can exist in all ages at the same time.

Song Qinglan crossed her arms: "Can its appearance change this matter?"

Sheng Yun shook his head: "What happened to Sheng Han in 1439 is already history and cannot be changed. But in 1456 when you came, for that time and space, he is still in a transition state, and his death is not the final outcome. .”

Song Qinglan slowly lowered her hand.

"Time is a line. As long as your original line remains the same, there is infinite possibility of development, that is to say, you can choose to go back to 1456 from other time points." Sheng Yun said, "Thank you for being obsessed with the past, There was no immediate return to the original time and space in 1456 to allow this to be carried out."

When Sheng Yun was not Ji Yu, his analysis of the matter was far less clear than when Ji Yu said it.

To him, it was like trying to explain 1+1=2, it was too simple and he said it briefly.

But Song Qinglan quickly thought of something, and asked: "What do you mean, our original timeline remains unchanged, and the established fact that we go back to the past also does not change, but returns to the original timeline from another point in time?" timeline?"

Reverse thinking, that is - travel back from the future.

And they just went to the future of 1470! !

The Sky Girl said: "I will capture you during your transition in 1456, take you to 1470, and overlap the current time point with that time point."

Song Qinglan suddenly understood: "Is this forming a time anchor?"

And the anchor point is the third second when they are hijacked.

It is equivalent to them being in a huge time anchor and never leaving.They will randomly overlap with themselves in a cycle of Ouroboros missions, respawning at the starting point together.

"It can be understood in this way." Tianqiong said, "To be precise, it is the time anchor between you and the monsoon."

"The Ouroboros mission in 1470 is both the future and history for you. What you need to pay attention to is the paradox caused by the overlapping of new time and space. Try not to affect the existing history on the basis of maintaining the final result. Mission After completion, you will return from 1470 to 1456, and the time coordinates will be after you redeem the mission rewards."

That is to say, when they return to the time coordinate of the original time and space, they will arrive after 1439 when he accompanied Ji Yu.

In this way, the timeline remains unchanged and the history remains intact.

What happened to them in 1439 is just the past that exists repeatedly in the time anchor.

In addition to a small time anchor, a larger time anchor that belongs only to the two of them was put on.

It must be very difficult for someone else to understand the meaning of this passage.

Sheng Yun's logical thinking is more meticulous than Ji Yushi's. Since he can get along with the perfect golden cicada out of its shell, he can also come up with the perfect resurrection from death.

"I just asked if you were willing to sacrifice for him." Sheng Yun turned to Song Qinglan, "It's because of the trigger condition of the time anchor."

With that said, Sheng Yun took out a pistol.

A small, silver-white pistol in the style of PPK, named Diamond Bird.

The preferences of father and son are so similar.

Song Qinglan took it, and the heavy and cold body of the gun nestled in her hand, reminding him of the palm that was gradually cooling in his arms.

The trigger condition of the time anchor: the death of all members.

And this is the time anchor between him and Ji Yushi, what he needs to do is self-evident.

"Why did you do this?"

Song Qinglan asked in a deep voice.

Sheng Yun knew that Song Qinglan was asking about this "sky vault in the sense of all times".

Tianqiong's gentle female voice said: "I have already reminded you, after more than 7000 million calculations, your team's winning rate is higher than the average of all time-space guardian teams. I hope you can lead your team to perform more tasks, Time and space stability needs you."

Song Qinglan grinned silently, not knowing whether it was a smile or a sarcasm: "So how many tasks are the conditions?"

Tianqiong: "Next, I have prepared 3 super S-level missions and 1 A-level mission for you and your team."

"My team." Song Qinglan said, "I didn't fucking promise you for them, so don't blame me for breaking my promise."

Tianqiong was silent and did not refute, maybe it already knew the result.

This feeling of opening and hanging is very uncomfortable.

The energy bullet in the gun is still full.

Song Qinglan followed Ji Yushi's appearance, pulled the safety catch, and suddenly fell silent for several seconds.He put away all his expressions, and asked the last profound question: "Then, could it be because of this time that you hijacked the Sky Seven team?"

Cause and effect of things, which comes first?

Was it because of the original hijacking first that everything happened later, or was it because of everything that happened later that the mother system hijacked the entire team by the way?

Maybe what I didn't see during the monsoon rain was this larger circle.

They are in it, like ants running around in the sand table.

"I can't answer your question." Tianqiong said, "The development of time is happening at the same time here, regardless of cause and effect, and regardless of before and after."

Song Qinglan put the gun to her heart.

The answer didn't matter to him anymore.

Sheng Yun, Examiner, 1439.

It's all history.

Either way, he'll be back where he started.

Before pulling the trigger, he heard Tian Qiong say: "You have triggered a branch mission, which exceeds the original mission conditions, and named this mission for you: [Overload]."
