The Wheel of Chronos

The owner of the Time watch shop is a young woman with black hair, blue eyes, and the aristocratic temperament of an English beauty.But no one knew that she was an orphan. When she was three years old, she suddenly appeared at the gate of the Westminster Church Welfare Home in London, walked into the orphanage by herself, and asked the director to take her in.From then on, he grew up in an orphanage.

She's quiet, mature, hardly a child.She studied in an ordinary church school, learned piano and painting without a teacher, and was generally a genius with excellent grades.She refused all adoption requests, as if she was born to walk alone in the world.With her blue eyes, she always watched the world calmly and solemnly, without waves or ripples.

This child... is like a lonely observer, the mother of the head of the orphanage once said.

After graduating from high school, although she had excellent grades, she chose to enter a second-rate university and studied engineering and mechanical engineering.In my freshman year, I unexpectedly signed up for an expedition.At that time, the empire was expanding its territory outward, and the Zerg and predators outside were basically cleaned up, and they could not pose a threat. The country began to send a large number of construction, mechanical engineering and mining companies to form a pioneering group to the former Central Asia, Middle East and Western Europe.Among them, volunteers and interns will also be recruited for universities, which will be very helpful for future employment after graduation.

The pioneering group she joined went to the farthest part of Western Europe, all the way to the border between France and Switzerland. When she came back, she suddenly had a pocket watch with a silver case and a purple iris flower on the cover.She favored tailored British-style vests, to which she always pinned the watch.She seems to really love clocks and watches, and often goes to the second-hand market to find treasures and collect some old-fashioned clocks and watches.Mechanical engineering often has practical classes. In her spare time, she also borrows the school's operation classroom to repair clocks and watches by herself, or make clocks by herself.

Using the wages she got during the pioneering group and the funds she got from working in school and selling small clocks, plus the accumulation of working in large companies after graduation, she was finally able to rent near Big Ben at the end of the year when she was 26 years old. The facade of the street, opened his own watch shop.

The customers who come here are in twos and threes, most of them are nobles and rich people. A business can bring surplus funds for a long time, so although the business is light, she lives leisurely.

Her daily life is very simple, just wandering between looking at the store and closing the store.She lives in an apartment above the watch shop, and the shop opens at 9 am and closes at 8 pm every day.She gets up at 6 o'clock every day, goes for a morning run in Hyde Park, takes a shower and has breakfast.At noon, just eat a little sandwich meal prepared the night before to fill your stomach. After closing at 8, she cooks her own dinner and lunch the next day.On a regular holiday every week, she will go to the nearby market to purchase daily necessities and ingredients for the next week.She has no friends, no lover, no relatives, never goes to bars and nightclubs, and doesn't like to go to noisy places.Concerned about national affairs, the holographic TV in the store is always broadcasting news.

When visiting the store, she likes to pass the time while drinking coffee and reading a book. Usually, only the email interface is opened on the holographic screen at hand.In the last year, she got a pen pal from the Internet, and she often communicates by email.The emails can be long or short, and they can range from asking for your health to discussing national affairs.In the last month, the owner of the watch shop began to tell a bizarre story to his pen pal, about a down-and-out British aristocrat who travels through time and space. The reply is always reminding me to update.

This pen pal is a very talented person, with excellent writing skills, knowledgeable and witty words.During the conversation, she revealed that she is a woman.Her online name is very characteristic, it is called "The Lost Queen of the First French Empire", and the owner of the watch shop jokingly replied to her in the first reply to her: "Mr. Bonaparte, your wife is waiting for you at the radio station." You." Since then, this pen pal has been fond of calling the watch shop owner "Lost Monsieur Bonaparte".

I don't know how this "Queen of France" found the email address of the owner of the watch shop. Anyway, one day, the owner of the watch shop received an email from her. The content was very brief. The sender said that he was a literature major Yes, I want to find a stranger to communicate with and practice writing.The owner of the watch shop thought that being idle was also idle, so he replied to her.

Perhaps not only because of the lack of time, but also because the name "Queen of the First French Empire" has an irreplaceable position in the heart of the watch shop owner.

Before going to bed yesterday, "Mr. Bonaparte" just finished the latest narrative and sent it to the other party.I received a reply this morning, only a very brief line:

"I can't stand your hypocrisy and procrastination. I want to talk to you in person."

Find me?The owner of the watch shop raised her eyebrows, but she never revealed where she was, where did she go to find herself?

However, at 12 o'clock in the morning on December 25th, with the hourly chime of the vertical clock in the store, the store door was pushed open, and the doorbell "jingling" rang crisply, piercing through the solemn bell, and entered The eardrums of the watch shop owner.

An intellectual and beautiful woman walked in at the door, with long curly chestnut hair and a chic professional suit. She probably just rushed over from the work unit, and the work badge on her neck hadn't been taken off yet.Upon closer inspection, the job card was actually a press card.Her face often appears in the photos reported by the media recently. She is a cutting-edge journalist and a superstar of the new generation of documentary literature. She is currently working for the largest media in the empire—Josephine Spann, a columnist for "Current Affairs of the Empire" game.

Is it really her?After seeing the appearance of the visitor, the last doubt in the watch shop owner's heart has been solved.The corners of her mouth curled up in relief, but her eyes were filled with indelible loss and loneliness.

"Mr. Bonaparte, I'm here to see you." Josephine stood in front of the counter of the watch shop, smiling brightly at the boss sitting behind the counter.

"You journalists are really good at digging people's information." The owner of the watch shop replied with a smile.

Josephine nonchalantly pulled over a reception chair and sat opposite the boss.She stared at the boss's face for a while, and finally said:

"About yesterday's content, the heroine committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and the boss was also eliminated in the end. Did they die together?"

"What's the rush? Those who are impatient are not good readers." The owner of the watch shop replied lightly.

"I'm just in a hurry, I just want to listen now." The 22-year-old young reporter in front of him took the lead in losing his posture of a serious reporter, and instead seemed anxious like a gossip entertainment reporter.So much so that her voice was so accurate that it exuded a sweetness like a spoiled child.

The owner of the watch shop pursed his lips and said in a calm voice, "Ah, yes, we're all dead together. But the heroine's soul didn't dissipate completely, but instead possessed her who was only three years old."

"Why? I don't understand. Is Latia's so-called karma and destiny community nonsense, or is it because of something else."

"Because there is no jumper. The world line in which the heroine and Latia died together is the world line in which Princess Tianyang did not die in a plane crash, and her sister did not die. Therefore, even if Latia is eliminated in the past 150 years of the new calendar Ya, if the future time traveler is eliminated, there will be no problem that the world line ends, and one of the younger sisters or the princess must die. The future does not change, and there are no differences in the past. The world line only values ​​the result rather than the process. The heroine of the future did not die, and neither did the heroine of the past. After the heroine swallowed a gun and died, her conscious soul from the future directly possessed her who was only three years old at that time. In this way, the "heroine not die' condition."

"Princess Tianyang didn't die in the plane crash?"

"Yes. When the most perfect world line is opened, the convergence of the world line occurs on the heroine. She, who is jumping among countless world lines, is all integrated into one, and the memory is synchronized. This is the ultimate destiny discovery. Ability. So she can know what she has done in other world lines. 24 years later, as the heroine of the leader of the rebel organization, she has taken all the circumstances into consideration. She set up the game of Princess Tianyang's fake death, so that the emperor Your Majesty and the heroine's father conspired to deceive her. In fact, although Princess Tianyang was pierced in the left chest after the plane crash, she survived and was hidden by them. This is also to deceive the world line, so that The world line thought that Princess Tianyang was dead, and did not restrain the protagonist's sister and family. You know, to deceive the world line is actually to deceive the observer. The real observer is the heroine from beginning to end."

"So that's it, that is to say. The heroine actually succeeded in saving the princess who crashed. At the moment when the younger sister, the princess and the heroine all survived, the world line entered a relatively perfect state. The reason why we still have to The reason for deceiving observers is that this line is not perfect, and it is still short of the last jump to complete the ultimate goal - to eliminate Latia, to eliminate the cause of world line jumps and all disasters."

"That's right." The boss smiled, Josephine's ability to understand has always been strong.

"But I think the heroine probably jumped more than the few times you wrote. In places you didn't mention, the heroine also jumped."

“还记得24年后的未来女主角留在自己那里的三颗时间穿梭器吗？那就是我不曾描写出来的三次时间穿梭。一次是为了确保夏娃在正确的时间点降生，不会提前也不会推迟，24年后的女主角穿越到了新历171年的12月27日上午10:30，间接阻止了克劳德·威廉姆斯在卫生间强/暴米兰达·沃克。”

"Ah, it was the strange noise that the heroine heard on the stairs of the teaching building that attracted her attention, so she went to the bathroom to check." Josephine remembered, "Claude and Miranda were in the wrong room. Is there any impact on the combination of time points?"

"The impact is huge, directly affecting the existence of Eve. The two of them must be married on the night of December 12, under the condition that both parties are voluntary, and then Eve will be born. After all, this child is a miracle born naturally after human beings lose their fertility. .There was no other child like that except her."

"The rape/violence happened in world line A, right? The heroine after 24 years should be in world line B. How did she return to world line A?"

"No, this incident also happened on the b world line, but the heroine, as an observer of the world line, did not experience it, but the heroine 24 years later did.

Better to make a mark to distinguish it.The heroine who is the observer of the world line is the heroine of the main perspective.And what the heroine does 24 years later is to make the heroine from the main perspective reach the most perfect world line.

Whether in world line a or b, the future heroine has created a space-time shuttle and jumped. Line a and line b exist in parallel, and the observer can only observe one of them.Therefore, the heroine in the main perspective doesn't know the future of line A, so she, who doesn't know the future of line A, also creates a space-time shuttle. "

"So that's the case, then, what about the second time?"

"The second time, I jumped to the scene where Princess Tianyang crashed at 165:12 am on December 25, 10. After the heroine was punctured in her right lung and the princess was punctured in her left lung, she had to show up in time to do something. Rescue and deal with it, otherwise the princess will not survive. As a result, the life of the heroine from the main perspective was sacrificed, and the princess was saved."

"What about the third time?"

"The third time..." The boss raised his eyes and stared at the direction of the store door, as if looking at the distant shore through the store door. Her last sliver of vitality. There is only one purpose, to find the most correct starting point, the most correct main perspective heroine, to help her unlock the ability to go back in time and detect fate. She finally found the heroine of the a world line. She spent the last A time machine, back to the beginning of December in the 165th year of the new calendar.

Due to the problem of paradox, there cannot be two hers in the same world line. The way to solve this problem is to use a pocket watch to go back in time.She used her time-reversing ability to permanently bind herself within 12 hours, keeping the wormhole open for such a long time.This consumes her vitality, and she ages rapidly, so that the outside world has only passed a few days, but several months have passed in her body.

In December of the 165th year of the new calendar, she found the heroine's sister and indirectly handed over the silver iris pocket watch to the heroine through her sister.She witnesses the tragedy of Westminster and does nothing but stand at the bleeding, dying feet of the heroine amidst the collapsing ruins and say something strange.She must make sure that she can get access to this pocket watch before the time-space blasting gene tracer arrives, and this pocket watch can be used as the key to unlock the ability to go back in time.

She succeeded, and the following 6 years were a long awakening process of the heroine's destiny detection ability from the main perspective.It wasn't until 6 years later that she came into contact with Princess Tianyang, which triggered the time-reversing ability of the pocket watch, and the protagonist's ability to detect fate was also activated.And these 6 years, for her who has been going through 12 hours of reincarnation, it is no less than 30 years.She was already in her 40s when she jumped, so she looked like a 70-year-old at the time.In the end, she completely intensified the protagonist's ability to detect fate and rewind time, and completely disappeared in this world. "

"So the old man at that time was actually the heroine herself?" Josephine asked softly, she lowered her head against the light, her hair covered her face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Yeah." The boss replied.

"Then can you tell me, where is the 3-year-old possessed by the heroine from the main perspective after she died with Latia? If her existence is erased, but she is indeed alive, the current her should be It's not from that British aristocratic family."

The boss didn't answer, but looked at the wall clock on the wall and said:

"It's time for lunch, Miss Josephine, please help yourself." After speaking, she got up, ignored Josephine, turned and walked to the back of the shop.

"Sharon, when are you coming home with me?"

The boss froze in place, and after a while she slowly turned around to look at Josephine.At this moment, Josephine was already in tears:

"Do you really think I won't remember anything, Sharon? Don't forget, I was born in the same life as you, and I was also affected by the turbulence of time and space. I also have the ability to detect fate more or less." ability."

"Josie..." Sharon opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

"Come home with me. Although Mom and Dad don't know you, they are willing to accept you." In the most perfect world line, Sharon is no longer a child of the Spencer family. It was Alan Taylor, but the fact was corrected to say that the two had no children, that Alan Taylor had died young, and that Josephine and her mother Lillian had moved into the Spencer's house years earlier.

Sharon stood there hesitantly, not sure how to choose.And Josephine had already got up and walked outside the store.It seems that she firmly believes that Sharon will follow.She guessed right, of course Sharon would go with her.She shook her head and laughed at herself, turned around and took her coat and put it on, took the key out of the shop, and locked the door.

As soon as she went out, she caught a glimpse of a tall woman talking to Josephine who was standing outside, and when she saw Sharon coming out, this person gave Josephine something and hurriedly blended into the bustling streets. The crowd leaves.Xue Lun locked the door and walked forward. Josephine smiled and handed the things in her hand to Xue Lun.

It was a photo of a young girl smiling brightly while holding a flying helmet.The photo was yellowed and stained with blood.She turned to the back and saw a beautiful line on it:

"If you are well, it will be sunny. I have not forgotten you, please don't forget me."

Signed: Little Sun.

Xue Lun smiled, and warm tears flowed down unconsciously, her heart was warm and satisfied.
