depicting time

After Song Ting got Xu Yan's answer, he never heard from him again.

A week passed and it was the same weekend again.

His appearance seemed to have brought some changes to Xu Yan's life and mentality, but after a week passed, Xu Yan gradually forgot the flustered feeling during the conversation that day.

After calming down, his thought was very simple, since he didn't know what the future would hold, he could just let it go.

The news reported that there would be a meteor shower at 10 o'clock tonight. Xu Yan moved the astronomical telescope in his study to the balcony, half leaned on the recliner with a book in his hand, and waited for 10 o'clock.

I have read Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" at least three times, but every time I read it carefully, I will have a different experience.Although Xu Yan advocated the philosophy of Marxism, Hegel's thought brought profound insights from different angles, and Xu Yan admired his wisdom very much.

Before he knew it, it was 9:40. He closed the book and looked at the night sky in front of him. The stars were sparsely scattered, the light was dim, and the moon was also hiding on the other side of the room. This was a dark night sky.

Xu Yan was looking forward to the meteor coming to break the silence at this moment, but when he closed his eyes and rested his mind, the sound of the helicopter's airflow approaching from a distance took the lead in breaking the silence here.

The strong wind flipped the book in his hand, as if it was about to tear the paper, blowing away the blanket covering his legs, and a chill hit him.Xu Yan immediately stood up and supported the astronomical telescope, which was something that could not be dropped.

The helicopter went up and down the escalator, and a figure hung on the escalator, walked down step by step, and stood on the balcony where Xu Yan was standing in a light leap.He was wearing a black uniform, and the close-fitting clothes outlined a perfect figure. He was wearing goggles on his face. The transparent goggles could not cover his eyes. Under the bright light, the outline of his tough face was clearly visible. .

Xu Yan was shocked for a moment, he recognized the person in front of him as Song Ting, but he couldn't help but marvel at the way he appeared in such a special way.

Xu Yan didn't expect that a week later, this person brought another even more dreamy encounter.

"Member 236 Xu Yan, you will officially become a space-time restorer starting today. As the team leader of Group 023, I will lead you to perform the task of space-time restoration and find the static time. Are you ready to take on this task?" An honorable mission."

Space-time restorers are sacred existences in this era, so some people think they are the incarnations of gods.They rescued people trapped in time, from the stillness of death, without being named or even seen.

Xu Yan has long understood that becoming a space-time restorer means breaking away from his original life.He replied without hesitation, "Yes."

Song Ting is a very good leader. He has the ability to be convincing. In him, Xu Yan can see the epitome of justice and holiness. Therefore, his choice is more firm.

Song Ting nodded slightly upon hearing his answer, "Now follow me to perform your first mission."

"Yes."

After the lights on the balcony were turned off, Xu Yan followed the team leader up the escalator, and the helicopter purposely moved closer to the balcony to prevent the newly reported space-time restorer from being honorably injured during the report.

The meteor shower fell on time at 10 o'clock, and the brilliant starlight flashed across the night sky. He waited in front of the door and stretched out his right hand. The bright night sky was so dazzling, but Xu Yan kept staring into his eyes.With great strength, he easily pulled Xu Yan up.

The door was closed, and the sound of the airflow brought by the propeller finally weakened.

The team leader sat on both sides of him. Only then did Xu Yan realize that there was another woman sitting in the cabin. She was wearing the same black uniform with a pair of goggles, short hair and no jewelry on her body.

From Xu Yan's point of view, she should be a more natural and generous person who doesn't like to be tweaked.

She quickly verified Xu Yan's conjecture and said enthusiastically, "Hi, I'm Gu Manwen. The driver in front is named Fu Ye. We are both members of Group 023. Nice to meet you."

"Hi, I'm Xu Yan, nice to meet you."

When he was observing Gu Manwen, Gu Manwen was also observing him.

What she saw more was Xu Yan's appearance. Gu Manwen didn't expect that the new team member was a gentle and harmless beauty.The beauty's every move was very polite, which left a very good first impression on Gu Manwen.

The helicopter moved forward in the dark, and the atmosphere in the cabin became quiet.

Gu Manwen looked at the two people who were sitting on the left and the right in front of them but didn't speak. She handed a pair of goggles to Xu Yan on the left. "When you enter the fragments of time and space later, you must wear it."

Xu Yan got the goggles that were exactly the same as theirs and asked, "Is there any special use?"

"Protect your eyes, we don't know what's going on inside, the eyes are the most important organ for us."

Song Ting also told Xu Yan that the first condition for becoming a space-time restorer is that both eyes can see space-time fragments. If the eyes are damaged, other abilities will be lost.

Gu Manwen also gave an example, "A space-time restorer once got an eye injury in a space-time fragment, which directly led to the failure of the mission."

Xu Yan asked, "What happens if the mission fails?"

Gu Manwen replied, "The failure of the mission means that the person trapped in the fragments of time and space will never come out. He will disappear in time and space forever, as if he had never appeared before."

After hearing what she said, Xu Yan couldn't help feeling startled, and said, "I'll put it on now."

The goggles also have the function of adjusting vision. After wearing them, the vision in front of the eyes is much clearer.Myopia is only 150 degrees, and Xu Yan doesn't usually wear glasses, but suddenly he can see so clearly, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Looking sideways, the face of the person beside him became clearer.After revealing his true identity, the team leader no longer showed the smile he had when they first met, and now his face was expressionless, even a little serious.

Some people are silent because they are afraid of saying the wrong thing, just like him at this moment.Some people are silent because they simply don't want to speak.Xu Yan believed that this team leader belonged to the latter.

He silently retracted his gaze and continued to stare at the night sky outside the window.

Gu Manwen, who was not afraid of saying the wrong thing, poked her head over and said curiously, "I heard from the team leader that you have super observation skills and can see through people's hearts at a glance. I'm curious, do you have strong observation skills?"

The ability of a time-space restorer is extended from the ability that a person is good at. He is good at thinking about people's minds, but he is far from being able to see through people's hearts at a glance. Maybe he can have what Gu Manwen said when he entered the space-time fragments. The ability to 'see through people's hearts at a glance'.

Xu Yan replied modestly, "It's just a little better than ordinary people."

"Hey, with you in the future, our mission will be much smoother." From her tone, Xu Yan could feel that she was genuinely happy and relieved.

It seems that the previous task was a bit difficult.

She asked again, "Then what can you see when you see me for the first time now?"

Xu Yan was thoughtful, and only answered superficial things, "You have a good personality, you like to chat with people, and you don't like to make the atmosphere awkward. You are also very good at taking care of people."

Gu Manwen felt very novel after being hit by a single word, and couldn't help admiring, "It's true, your eyesight is too good!"

Xu Yan accepted the compliment with a smile.After the conversation here ended, his attention went to the team leader again, feeling a little lost in his heart, the silent team leader was not at all like the Song Ting who took the initiative to add him on WeChat...

The helicopter landed on the edge of a cliff, in a remote location, surrounded by silence.It was still dark outside the cabin, and when walking into the darkness, Xu Yan discovered the night vision function of the goggles.The driver Fu Ye finally showed his face. He brought down a tool bag, and he was the only one among the four present who had extra gear.

Xu Yan still remembered the fragments of time and space that he saw that day, like crystal clear drops of water, but suspended in mid-air, it could never find its real landing point, and could only accept its fate of wandering.

It was still daytime at that time, but now in the dark night, Xu Yan looked around and saw the end of the cliff, and then looked up to the sky from the end.

The faint light is like a weak person begging for help.It seemed to sense their presence and flew over on its own initiative.

Xu Yan saw the light getting closer and closer to them, and then heard Song Ting say, "Here it comes, Fu Ye, you should budget first."

"Okay." Fu Ye took out the measuring device from the tool bag. This thing was extremely mysterious in Xu Yan's eyes. What can such a small disc measure?

Fu Ye stepped forward and held the space-time shards in his hands, and when he let go, the time-space shards obediently floated in front of his eyes.He approached the bright light with the measuring device, and only heard two beeps, and there was data on the disk, and the volume of space-time fragments was obtained.

Fu Ye analyzed, "The space is quite open, and there are relatively few other physical facilities."

"Okay. We can go in."

The leader is the only one who can control the space-time fragments, and his consciousness can explore the door to the inner world.In order to save lives, objective time has created many things outside the rules.

He said, "Close your eyes, I will count to 321 and then open your eyes."

The four of them closed their eyes together, listening to his countdown, "3, 2, 1."

The closed eyes felt the light from the outside world, and when they opened their eyes again, the night had disappeared.The sky was bright, Xu Yan looked behind him, and the helicopter had disappeared.Looking further ahead, a gray car appeared out of thin air on the edge of the cliff, only centimeters away from falling, but barely stopped at the moment of falling.

The setting sun in the distance sank halfway and stopped setting.

It was the first time Xu Yan saw the inner world of space-time fragments. There was no sound here, and it was as quiet as a painting.

At the beginning, Song Ting said that there was life in it, he couldn't believe it, but he was in it right now.The reality was even scarier than what he had ever imagined. No one would be able to appreciate the real death-like silence unless he experienced it himself.

Song Ting could hear an echo as he spoke, "Gu Manwen, take a look around."

Gu Manwen replied, "Yes." Then she flew up under Xu Yan's shocked gaze, and disappeared in an instant.

Every space-time restorer has a unique ability, so they are called advanced ability users. Gu Manwen obviously possesses the special ability of speed.

Xu Yan watched Song Ting walk towards the car step by step, and came to the edge of the cliff. He easily opened the closed car door. He looked inside and said, "Women, they should commit suicide."

Not long after, he rummaged through and found a mobile phone, "Fu Ye, you unlock the phone."

Fu Ye replied, "Okay."

The mobile phone passwords set by ordinary people are not complicated. After the mobile phone is connected to the computer, Xu Yan watched him briefly operate on the keyboard, and quickly said, "Open."

"Okay." In response, Song Ting opened the back seat door again, turned to look at Xu Yan, and said, "Come here and observe her expression."

Xu Yan, who stood still for a while, finally got the team leader's turn. He walked outside the car door, not daring to turn his gaze to the side, so as to make himself forget the fact that he was on the edge of a cliff.Looking in from the co-pilot, you can only see the profile of the woman on the right side, and there is no solid ground under the door on the other side. If you want to see her whole picture clearly, unless he can be suspended in the air...

Xu Yan said, "I can't see the face."

"Then look ahead."

"Ah?" Before Xu Yan understood Song Ting's meaning, he saw him take a step towards the edge of the cliff. His unhesitating movement would make people mistakenly think that he was walking on a section of flat ground.

"What are you doing!"

Xu Yan grabbed his hand and panicked, "You will fall..."

The heavy tugging sensation he imagined didn't come from his arm, Xu Yan couldn't help but wondered, seeing Song Ting floating lightly in mid-air, he asked dumbfounded, "You, can you fly?"

Is this also the special ability of the space-time restorer?

The second after he spoke, Song Ting pulled him out of the cliff.The ground under his feet fell to nothing, and a sense of fear hit his heart instantly.In a panic, Xu Yan hugged his waist. This hug almost used all his strength. The bottom of his feet was empty, making people feel very insecure. Xu Yan hung himself on Song Ting again. .

Fu Ye looked up and saw the scene in front of him, he suffocated for a moment, his mouth opened so wide that he could put down a whole egg.Gu Manwen also picked this time to come back, and she was dumbfounded when she saw the two hugging each other.She turned around quickly, "I didn't see anything!"

Her reaction was as if the two of them were really doing something shady.Song Ting completely ignored the person still hanging on his body, and arranged tasks for the team members. "Gu Manwen, search the car again."

"Yes." Gu Manwen got into the car and silently carried out her search task, while Fu Ye buried himself in his scanning work.

At the same time, the two people hugging here are also talking.Song Ting lowered his head and said to the person who was hugging him tightly, "I forgot to tell you that every space-time restorer will have the ability to fly after entering the space-time fragments."

His tone at this time was a bit similar to when we first met, with a smile on his face.

Xu Yan half-believingly let go of the two legs clamped on him, and then slowly let go of his hands. As he said, his body did not fall.He was pleasantly surprised, "Really!"

It seems that there is no room for Newton's law of universal gravitation in space-time fragments.

Slowly backing away, Xu Yan was no longer afraid, and flew to the front of the car by himself, and finally saw the client's face clearly.

Death was right in front of her eyes, but her gaze was very firm. If the time hadn't been fixed at this moment, she might have died.With only a few centimeters away, even if they rescued her from the fragments of time and space, what awaited her in the next second was still death.
