The Card Maker of Time Travel

Even if the premonition is not good, there is nothing I can do in this ghostly place at the moment, so I might as well talk more with this strange man in front of me to understand the other party's situation.

"You did this to avenge your father?" Gu Chen asked.

He didn't quite believe the prophecy that Hojo Qi said before, it was too unreasonable to find a card maker in order to get back his lover, on the contrary, it was more understandable to avenge his father.

"Revenge?" Lu Jin smiled helplessly. "You are really similar to some of my father's subordinates back then. They always had the wishful thinking that my father was killed by the Federation."

Gu Chen said that not all the history he has seen is like this, the masters have made great achievements, but they ended up miserable.

Lu Jin looked at Gu Chen, and didn't dislike Gu Chen's taking it for granted. The other's curious expression and round eyes were as cute as his spiritual companion, Konghuang.

"Actually, my father committed suicide."

suicide?Gu Chen obviously never imagined this possibility.I heard Bei Tiao Qi say before that Vimo's son didn't want to avenge his father, so he had a few guesses.

For example, Vimo’s son thinks that going against the Federation is too overreaching; it’s also possible that his character is happy and free, regardless of the hatred of the country and the family; or he thought about revenge, but found that his father’s subordinates did not support it. He; or in fact, General Wei Mo died of illness or died in battle. In short, he really didn't expect the possibility of suicide. He was in his prime, with outstanding abilities and a bright future. He really couldn't think of a reason for suicide.

"Do you think you don't understand?" Jin Jin asked. "Actually, I didn't understand it at first, but I understand it now, because I can't hold on anymore."

Gu Chen saw that the other party was indeed in a bad state, and secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that they were backlashed by the law of heaven because their abilities were too against the sky?If not, Gu Chen can't figure it out, the winners of life like them who deserve to be burned to death, say that life is not easy and people are hard and unbreakable, it's really a shame.

For a person like him who has no father and no mother and has no shining points in himself, he has never had the idea of ​​suicide for a moment.There are beautiful things worth cherishing everywhere in the world, even if life is difficult, you can't give up your life.

"Only when you are alive can you feel the beauty of life, and if you die, everything will be gone." Gu Chen said seriously.

Wei Jin straightened his body a little bit, with a half-smile on his face, as if sighing at the thoughts of the young man in front of him.

"I didn't understand it before, and felt that my father's choice was like a coward, but when I came to me, I realized that the pain really pierced my heart."

Gu Chen looked at him, and asked weakly: "Is it a terminal illness?"

When he was on Earth, he had seen a terminally ill person who was in such pain that he only hoped to be euthanized. Could it be that the Vimo family had some inherited terminal illness?

"You guessed half right." Jin Jin said. "Our Weimo family has special abilities. Everyone knows that my father's companion creature with spiritual power is a full-level alien beast. In fact, he has two companion creatures, and the other one is my mother in name."

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, Gu Chen's jaw almost dropped.

Two spiritual companions?Is the companion of spiritual power a human being?Is it mother?what is happening?

Gu Chen felt that his brain hole was not big enough to justify himself.

Looking at the astonishment on the young man's face, Jin Jin shook his head: "Only in name, I was bred by my father with the flower of fertility, which means that only one person's genes are enough."

The bewilderment on Gu Chen's face did not subside. He finally accepted the logic of this world, but now there is another setting that violates the logic of this world.

Gu Chen understands that after reaching a high level, a companion creature with spiritual power doesn't have to stay with its master every step of the way, it can form a completely independent individual.But he has never heard that the accompanying creature is a human being, and it is unimaginable to let his brain expand twice.

"It was also a coincidence that I discovered that my mother is not the same person as me, because she is too real, you can't even imagine, she has her own consciousness and emotions, she can stand alone, but she is with you The soul figured that such an existence would be fatal. My father loved my mother so much that he couldn't help himself."

Gu Chen shuddered. If he didn't listen to the real person, but read it from a book or someone else said it, he would definitely joke that this is the highest state of narcissism, and fall in love with himself ah.

But after listening to the person involved, there was a little sadness that came from nowhere.

"Although it goes against cognition, it's not too bad. Why did you commit suicide?" Gu Chen was still puzzled.

"Because he is not eternal." The sadness in Jin Jin's eyes spread. "After the normal spirit power companion appears, unless the master's spirit power is completely destroyed, it will not be destroyed. Even if the spirit power is destroyed, as long as it is not so complete that it can no longer be cultivated, then as long as your spirit power recovers, it will be restored. Appeared."

"But my mother is different. She can only live for 100 years. These 100 years live like an ordinary human being, born, old, sick and dead, but she is not like a card maker like a card maker. Her life span can be extended with practice. Her The lifespan can only be the same as that of an ordinary person. At that time, my father used all the methods, including using his own mental power to repair it, but my mother's lifespan could no longer be extended, and she disappeared."

When Jin Jin said this, he looked down at the shadow on the ground.For so many years, he has always been full of thoughts to tell others, but those words finally accumulated in his heart and fermented into a vat of pickles. Now that he pours it out, he seems to be relieved a lot.

Gu Chen's mood, as if he was listening to a ghost novel, also became heavy. When you really see something alive, let alone his existence is more real than a living person, when he leaves, this kind of pain is unbearable. imagination.Gu Chen has no relatives, nor has he experienced the pain of life and death, but he can imagine the feeling.

"In the decades since then, my father has used all methods, visited many secret realms, and finally found an ancient book to understand the truth about the companion creature world.

Human beings always think that the companions of spiritual power are illusioned by their own spiritual power, but it is not. The companions of spiritual power are another real world, and human beings are just companions of the world of summoning companions. "

If Jin Jin's statement that breaks common sense is told to other people, it will definitely feel absurd.But Gu Chen is a time-traveling person, even time-traveling is acceptable, and it is more reasonable to exist in another world.At least he was more accepting of having summoned a dragon than having a dragon in his head.

Gu Jin looked at Gu Chen with a shocked but not questioning expression, and continued: "In the world of companion creatures, there are many companion creatures that cannot be summoned by humans, such as people in the world of companion creatures. But it is probably because of the spirit of the Vimo family. The power is too special, so my father summoned my mother."

"It is also because people in the companion creature world do not conform to the normal summoning rules, so his summoning period can only be 100 years. After my mother disappeared, my father thought that this longing and pain would gradually fade over time. But No, he was living in more and more pain, and his concern and longing were increasing day by day, as painful as thousands of arrows piercing his heart every day. In the end, he really couldn't bear the pain and chose to commit suicide." Jin Jin said slowly.

Gu Chen was very silent, not knowing whether to comfort the other party or what.Because he remembered that Hojo Qi had said that Li Jin had a lover whose origin was unknown and who later disappeared.

After a long time, Jin Jin spoke again: "You must be wondering why I know my father's feelings so well? Because, I am also going through it now."

Gu Chen trembled in his heart, it seemed that his guess was not wrong.

"His name is Bai Qi. When he appeared, I resisted a little. I remembered my father's death, so I was very indifferent to him. But he was really gentle and lovable. I couldn't resist the feeling in my heart in the end. .”

Gu Chen felt his throat a little sore.We meet each other on a narrow road in our lifetime, if we know that the ending will be tragic, would we still be willing to start?

"The time with him was so happy, so happy that I forgot that one day he would disappear, and I would spend the rest of my long life alone. When he was about 100 years old, he began to get sick, and I began to feel the love of my father. That kind of suffering, I begged God to let him stay by my side day and night, but in the end it was not enough to meet my fate, so he still left."

"At that time, I really wanted to go with him, but I didn't give up. I searched all kinds of methods in the world. But how could I be able to accomplish things that my father couldn't accomplish when he was in a high position. I originally Already desperate, I went to Yanling Mountain, you know you can ask for prophecy there, but what I didn’t expect was that I found a solution, as long as I find a young card maker from another world, I can call back my Bai Qi."

When Jin Jin said this, his expression was desolate, as if he had grasped the last straw to save his life.

"Actually, this is the first time I've talked about this with other people. No one knows where Bai Qi came from. You are the first." Jin Jin laughed, and he didn't know why he would talk about this with this strange boy. , probably because one person has been depressed for too long and wants to find someone to chat with.

"At the beginning, someone brought a card maker to me. If he said that that person was the card maker in the prophecy, I might really have believed it. People who are bound by despair would be willing to believe that any tree hanging down It's straw. But he told me that that person is Bai Qi's reincarnation, how did Bai Qi come here, is there anyone who knows better than me?" Wei Jin smiled helplessly.

Gu Chen froze for a moment, thinking of Dong Yuyang.So when Dong Yuyang was taken away by Yuxiu, was it because Yuxiu wanted to use Dong Yuyang to deceive Li Jin?

Gu Chen thought that everyone guessed that he was the card maker in the two prophecies.If he could help the people in front of him, he would naturally be willing to do his part, just like he was willing to save the Federation.But he had no idea at all, and it was the first time he had heard of the world of spiritual power accompanying creatures.

"So you want to start a war in order to find this young card maker? Oh no, you didn't start a war, you just pampered others and provided supplies."

After getting along for a while, Gu Chen can feel that the other person's personality is somewhat similar to his own, without any ambition.But even if Gu Chen's life consciousness is not high, he can't tolerate war for the sake of Xiao Ai.

Jin Jin was silent for a long time before opening his mouth quietly: "What I hate the most in my life is war. When a war comes, everyone will be displaced and lose their loved ones. If it's an uncontrollable thing like fighting a rioting alien beast, forget it. But the war between human beings is nothing more than a battle of rights and desires, which is hateful and ridiculous."

"I dare not say that I am completely innocent. I know what they want ghost cards and drugs for. I do have selfish intentions, because in the prophecy, the card maker will only appear when the Federation is crumbling. But if it is you, If you choose peace, you have to give up the person you love the most, how would you choose?"

In Gu Chen’s education before traveling, he was always told that a country is a family, but Gu Chen always insisted that if he had to make a choice between the two, the kind of praise that he gave up his family for the sake of everyone and disregarded the individual The choice of the life and death of family members is a kind of moral kidnapping.

If there is no crossing, if Gu Chen had to choose, he would definitely choose peace. After all, he has nothing to worry about, and no one will feel sorry for him. He has no interest in being a hero, but the responsibility falls on his shoulders, and he will definitely shoulder it. .

But today is different, if you tell him that if he chooses peace, he has to give up Murong Zhuoqi or Zeng Jiang, he really doesn't think he can make a choice with dignity.

Gu Chen felt a little depressed and changed the subject.He admitted that he was a coward who didn't even have the courage to make a guessing choice.

"Where are we now?"

The place in front of me is very open, with all kinds of strangely shaped rocks popping up and down. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Gu Chen really planned to appreciate the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

Wei Jin shook his head: "I also walked into this place unintentionally."

Gu Chen knocked on the ground: "Is it in a certain cave on Death Island?"

"Let's take a walk and see, maybe we can get out." Lu Jin calmly opened the way ahead.

Gu Chen looked at the other person's back and didn't speak. At a certain moment, he felt that the other person's personality was very similar to his own. He was the type who likes to live life indifferently and freely, but he still couldn't escape the shackles of emotion after all.

The two walked for a long time, but there was still no end in sight.

Gu Chen finally couldn't move anymore and stopped. "Let's take a break first."

Wei Jin didn't seem to be panting, glanced at Gu Chen, and sat down on the spot.

Gu Chen was careful at the beginning, and took out a corpse of a strange beast from the storage space before setting off. It was a red strange beast that Murong Zhuoqi had hit before. place.

After walking for a long time now, Gu Chen could vaguely see the corpse. Although it became very small, it also showed that they were indeed moving forward, and there was no such thing as a ghost hitting a wall.

"What's wrong?" Jin asked.

Gu Chen shook his head: "No, maybe I was thinking too much. The structure here is a bit too open, and it is very different from the caves in the island. I guessed whether this place really existed. After all, your ability is so special. .”

Jin Jin smiled: "Do you suspect that I constructed this illusion?"

Gu Chen shook his head hastily: "I'm not doubting you, I'm thinking that each of you has a ghost card here, maybe someone trapped us with illusion."

"Really?" Jin Jin was thoughtful. "To be honest, I have never been in an illusion, so I don't know what the illusion is like. Will it be so real, and will the person I want appear in my heart?"

Gu Chen knew that he probably wanted to find his lover Bai Qi in the illusion, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be stupid, everything in the illusion is false, and you will confuse the real with the false if you stay in the illusion for a long time. Never try to find relief in this way."

Gu Chen felt that this kind of thing might be like taking drugs before time travel, and he must not touch it, otherwise he would become addicted and go on the road of no return.

Jin Jin glanced at him: "Thank you for your concern, don't worry, I won't do such a stupid thing, what I want is the real him, and I want to accompany him to see the prosperity and beauty of the world, not just for me A person is so selfish."

Gu Chen nodded.Seeing the affection in Jin Jin's eyes, Gu Chen suddenly thought of Murong Zhuoqi.I don't know how he is now?I didn't have time to report the news, can they still hold on now?

The two walked for a long time, and finally encountered creatures, which were a few low-level beasts.

Lu Jin summoned his spiritual companion, Kunhuang, and solved it without much effort.

Starting from encountering these low-level alien beasts, the number of alien beasts they encountered increased, and their levels became higher and higher. Although the full-level Konghuang was almost easy to deal with these alien beasts, it couldn't stand the endless posture.

"Why are there so many land animals here?" Gu Chen felt something was wrong.This is an island, surrounded by oceans. It is not surprising that there are many high-level marine animals, but it is strange that there are so many land animals on the sea.

Jin Jin shook his head: "Don't ask me. Although I have been here for a long time, I almost only stayed in my room. I am not familiar with other places on this island."

Gu Chen looked at him, and said that this is the ultimate meaning of a real otaku, which is much higher than the realm of his own otaku before time travel.

"Don't worry, Konghuang's ability is enough to deal with these ordinary strange beasts." Lu Jin reassured.

"But if the current situation continues, will there be more and higher-level alien beasts as we move forward? How will we face it then?" Gu Chen worried.

He is just a card maker and can't use any high-level cards. Although he can use the Jiuci Card and the Silence Card to help Li Jin recover his mental power and eliminate negative states, it is not easy for Li Jin to deal with many strange beasts alone. real thing.

"Don't worry." Jin said. "Have you forgotten what my ability is? It is to create illusions. If I really face a number of alien beasts that are too large to deal with, my ability is enough to hold them for a long time."

Gu Chen was a little relieved, saying that compared to himself, Li Jin is more like the kind of man chosen by God, a proper type of winner in life, the absolute protagonist's halo and physical ability are against the sky.

As if to confirm Gu Chen's words, it didn't take long before a large group of eighth-level strange beasts appeared in front of them.

Lu Jin calmly asked Gu Chen to step back, intending to activate his skills, but there was no movement after a while.Gu Chen was curious, and Gu Jin pulled him to sit on Kunhuang's back.

"Escape." Lu Jin only said one word.

Konghuang's speed was astonishing. Sitting on the top, Gu Chen felt that he would fall to pieces at any moment, but fortunately, Gu Jin held him tightly.

Kunhuang quickly flew in the opposite direction for about ten minutes before stopping, and the group of alien beasts in the distance gradually disappeared.

Gu Chen felt that all internal organs were fighting, and the digestive products in the stomach were crowded in the throat.He immediately jumped off Konghuang's back, found an open place and exhaled heavily.

After resting, Gu Chen had the strength to get up, and looked at Jin Jin with a melancholy face: "How about taking it easy?"

Lu Jin's complexion was not good, and he was silent for a long time, as if confirming something, and finally spoke. "I think we are really in an illusion."

The expression on Gu Chen's face became subtle. "In the illusion? Didn't you say it wasn't?"

Jin Jin sighed: "As I said, I have no experience of being controlled by illusions, including the hallucinogenic alien plants and alien beasts I encountered before. Because the mental power is weaker than me, this kind of attack is almost impossible for me. no effect."

"Then... how do you know that this place is an illusion?" Gu Chen was curious, because everything around him and what happened just now were too real. Although he felt that there was something unreasonable, he couldn't be sure whether this place was in the real world. The illusion is still real.

"Because I couldn't construct the illusion just now. There is no problem with my mental strength, otherwise I would not be able to summon the Phoenix. The only possibility is that I am currently in the illusion, so I cannot construct the illusion in the illusion." Jin Jin said .

The two were silent for a long time.Jin Jin said again: "I didn't expect the illusion to be so real. I don't know if you, Gu Chen, are real or fake?"

Gu Chen was speechless: "I am real, you must not try to destroy my humanity."

Jin Jin smiled but wasn't smiling. "Adjust the atmosphere, do we have to think about how to get out of the illusion now. You should have experience?"

Gu Chen remained speechless.Is it because I look stupid, so I am like a fool who is often trapped in illusions?Experienced in this situation?
