Rosie combed her long hair with her fingers. Because of her crooked sleeping position, her long, shiny black hair was disheveled. She tied herself a high ponytail and opened the bedroom door in the dark.

At 05:30 in the morning, the daylight had already come in and laid a fine layer on the floor.

When Lin Sui opened the door, he found her sitting on the swing indoors.

"Sissy?" He called his stepdaughter, "Why did you get up so early? It's been all night?"

Lin Sui is an art teacher in an elementary school, and his job is easy and stable. He is responsible for the three meals at home. However, when his wife is on a business trip and his stepdaughter lives at school, he just takes care of it in the school cafeteria.

Rosie turned her head half a beat later, the swing swayed slightly, and the sunlight had already reached her ankles: "...Uncle?"

"Huh?" Lin Sui was cooking porridge while warming milk for his daughter. Without delay, he turned his head and hurriedly responded, and suddenly asked, "You wear so much today?"

"It's summer now," he saw Rosie wearing long-sleeved trousers and an autumn-winter outfit. "Aren't you hot?"

"I forgot," Rosie jumped up, "I'll change it."

What can I forget? Lin Sui thought of this and didn't care. He heard the door open and said loudly: "By the way, your phone has been repaired and it's in the living room!"

In the end, it was his wife in pajamas who opened the door. Luo Yulan raised her hand and hit him: "Why did Qian Qian get up so early and stay up all night?"

Who would believe that college students on summer vacation would get up early? They must have overdone it.

Lin Sui said softly, "I'll let her eat breakfast, and then go catch up on sleep."

Luo Yulan nodded, neither of them took it seriously, she was an executive of the company, her husband and children were on summer vacation, so she was the only one who needed to go to work.

When Rosie came out again, her mother Luo Yulan had finished changing her clothes, her newly dyed red hair was coiled up, and she was putting on lipstick for herself. When Rosie approached her, she raised her hand to stop her: "Old Lin said that the phone will be repaired for you It's back, it's on the table, don't look for me."

As soon as she put down her lipstick, she was embraced.

"Eh?"

The daughter's arms hugged her tightly, resting her head on her shoulders, which confused Luo Yulan: "What's wrong?!"

She knows Rosie's personality. She is quiet, introverted, and doesn't know how to reject others. She is always worried that her daughter will be bullied at school. Fortunately, she has never done it, but Rosie has never done hugs since she was eight or nine years old. She patted her daughter on the shoulder and shouted anxiously: "Old Lin——"

"It's okay." Rosie let go of her, her voice muffled, "I had a nightmare."

Luo Yulan: "..."

She tugged at her daughter's ears, but didn't use much force: "Then did you stay up late last night?"

"...No," Rosie emphasized, "I woke up from a dream, so I got up early!"

The mother obviously didn't believe it, and the father couldn't laugh or cry, and went back to the kitchen.

Luo Yulan carefully looked at the corners of Rosie's eyes, and found that it was okay to not cry: "Go and catch up on sleep, you are not allowed to play games!"

But after breakfast, the daughter walked back to the room, Lin Sui took a look and said, "It's sitting in front of the computer."

The couple looked at each other helplessly: what should I do... I can only let her go.

After all, Luo Yulan felt guilty about the divorce, so she couldn't speak harsh words to Rosie. Lin Sui was her stepfather, and she couldn't raise her daughter strictly. Fortunately, Rosie never rebelled since she was a child.

When Lin Sui sent Luo Yulan out, she couldn't help but bring up the topic again: "I would have known that I would have taken Sissy away...Her father is an idiot, the student was born to him, and the daughter was picked..." Let’s leave my daughter at home for three days, only to find out when the door was broken and the neighbor called the police, and I regret why I didn’t kick him to death during the mediation!”

Lin Sui followed her words skillfully and said, "Next time you meet me, I will kick you. I will be stronger."

"No! I wear high heels..."

The sound drifted away, and Rosie stared at the "Peeper" game opened on the screen, and then looked at the time in the lower right corner.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

She came back, like a dream.

After letting out a breath, Rosie habitually resumed:

When she returned, she considered that the most likely method was soul transfer. She was not wearing a body, but a soul wear. Her soul was on the body of "Rosie Spade" in another world, or in other words, Rosie Spade. Spade's body is the king of spades.

The result was as she expected, but slightly different.

The hacking skills she learned from the game followed, or in other words, the experience and knowledge followed.

Apart from the lack of physical memory and poor hand speed, she roughly judged her current level, which is probably in the forefront of hackers in the world... Besides, there are not so many hackers in this world.

"Let me see first..." Rosie thought, "Is there any problem with this game?"

Open the archive of "The Peeping Man" before going to bed, Orcha is still the villain company in the original work, and there is no Venus, only Spades, and the Spades company is the company of Rosie's character. "The villain with the name is spinning around in the occupied area, and the entire map has turned blue. Just before going to bed, Rosie just summoned suitable employees to rub out the nuclear bombs, and pushed the places that the hackers couldn't occupy.

The blond villain uses her retarded AI to wander around the room, even though the whole world is hers, she still doesn't know how to go out, always in the original room.

Rosie glanced at this picture twice, cut out the screen, first wrote a program to grab all the information about superheroes, then invaded the production company of "The Voyeur" in Europe, and turned two times in the company's internal information. Circle, unfortunately found nothing odd.

After thinking about it, she hacked into the company where her mother worked, grabbed the screen that her mother would appear in the surveillance, and hung it in the background as well.

——She worried about what happened to her parents.

But this day was very peaceful, nothing happened, and Rosie spent the whole day supplementing the comics and movies of the superhero series. When she saw "Avengers 4", she suddenly remembered more movie details.

"Fortunately, I have almost forgotten the plot. If I only remember half of it, and regard the captain as a hydra... that will be a lot of fun."

She didn't pay too much attention to the fact that the characters of the two companies appeared together in another world. She decided to believe that the world with heroes was real, so the inference was that the world they were in was interfered by the world next door, and the other world The story of the world is just a "story" here.

There are no them in the comics. This is a parallel world where superheroes are comic characters. Rosie doesn't know whether she should be lucky or regretful.

But she's slightly surprised that she remembers the Keene Act, which seemed like a precursor to the Superhero Registration Act, but wasn't mentioned in any of the comics.

There was no systematic urging, no percentage of task progress, and no requirement that she could only operate in the occupied area, but Rosie began to collect information from all over the world and invade top-secret areas. All records of aliens have been searched.

But you need to judge whether it is true or not, Rosie thought so before climbing into bed.

She fell asleep, but the secret departments of several countries stayed up all night, because Rosie was in a hurry, so she "forcibly broke" where she could "forcibly break" and shocked a lot of people.

The next day she got up early again, went to hug her mother first, felt her mood gradually calm down, and then continued with the work she hadn't finished, even though she didn't have a boss behind her.

When Luo Yulan came home, Rosie was still in front of the computer, and the screen was full of things she couldn't understand—it was like in a movie, it might be a new game, she pinched her daughter's face: "There are students at the gate of the community." Please fill out the questionnaire and a small gift, do you want it?"

"Ah...you did it?"

"It's about the same age as you." Luo Yulan coughed softly, "The things I gave you are also pretty cute. I don't understand, so I'll bring them to you."

The small gift is nothing more than a fan or a doll. Rosie stared at the screen. After all, what she was playing was not a real game and could not be paused. Luo Yulan grabbed something from the bag and put it on her desk. Attention left the room.

After making sure to tidy up, she let go of the keyboard and glanced at——

The round badge in the plastic bag is blue and looks like a stick figure of a crying face.

Her pupils shrank for a second at this second, but her expression was calm.

——Exactly the same as the badge seen after crossing.

If Q is there, it can help me remember the data, do trace analysis, and determine whether this one is that one, Rosie suddenly thought.

But she quickly got rid of such thoughts. She didn't believe in coincidences, so she didn't touch the badge. Rosie immediately found the group of college students who were taking the questionnaire at the gate of the community. There was no problem, and she followed them to find out the origin of the badge——

Yiwu bought it for three yuan and ten, and a big bag has been given away. Not only there are crying faces, but also various expressions.

Rosie couldn't help but wonder if her caution had been misplaced... Even if she didn't touch it, her mother did.

There was no wind this evening, and it was extremely hot. The sound of the air conditioner was not too loud. Occasionally, a dog barked twice from outside the window. Rosie paused, and finally picked up the badge.

The blue light instantly engulfed her, but at that moment, Rosie felt that... finally came.

finally--

She opened her eyes and saw a field of snow.

She was still wearing a summer dress, but she didn't feel cold. Rosie raised her hand, and the badge on her fingertips was gone, but her whole body glowed with a bright blue light, like a person made of blue particles.

A carriage approached from far to near, and a couple driving a carriage rushed in this direction, but Rosie's eyes easily penetrated the carriage, and saw the boy hidden in the box, which was their son.

The ignorant boy also turned his head, as if seeing Rosie through the board.

Time suddenly froze at this moment, and everything froze, including the fleeing men and women, the falling snowflakes, and the Nazi officer yelling at them. Only Rosie and the boy could move, but Rosie did not move.

Because the boy's body penetrated the box and floated in front of her, his body was also glowing, and he said as if explaining to her: "This is the beginning of everything."

Rosie was silent for a while: "This is your beginning, not mine."

The boy's eyes are also blue, a blue that humans cannot achieve: "My mother died, my father raised me, and then I began to think, if I change everything, will the future be different."

The scene in front of me is quickly reversed, and the image of the woman trying to lure the officer away is reversed and returned to the car. This time it is the man who jumped off the carriage. The boy’s father was killed by the Nazis. Then, time flies backwards, starting from the twentieth century In the 21st century, boys grow up, live, grow old, get sick and die, but there are all kinds of superheroes and superpowers in the world who have encountered the invasion of the dark universe and super villains, and finally completely disappeared in a cosmic explosion.

"This is one of those times," he said, "that I didn't really change the past, it was just that I made different choices to create a new world, but every world ends up being destroyed."

Rosie wanted to take a deep breath, but she couldn't describe what her body was like now, and she even felt that her emotions had slowed down: "Is the world I live in also the parallel world you created?"

"You live in a world where there are no superpowers, and superheroes are characters in comics," the boy said, "but it's still a parallel world, only more special—"

All the images disappeared, and a piece of thick cardboard floating in mid-air appeared in front of them. The paper was facing upwards, and a glass of water was thrown on the front side. Part of the water soaked the front side, and the back side was also half wet.

"The opposite is the world you live in."

Rosie meditated in her heart... 2020.

"The front is the world of heroes."

That's... 2017.

The boy said: "Because you gave yourself three years to change the future."

"Wait—I gave it?" Rosie said, "I don't know who you are, but I guess you are the one behind the scenes, and you have the power to change everything, that's why I travel through... why is it 'I gave'?"

The boy tilted his head. During the conversation, he became even less human, as if the only bit of humanity was rapidly fading away. His whole body was blue. It was no longer a layer of blue light around the periphery, but his skin also changed. In blue, he looks like a man made of blue gemstones. Naturally, he has no pupils and looks much more terrifying.

He still looks like a boy, but the scene in front of him began to change at an accelerated rate. The boy did not change the future, so the surviving man took his son and lived in New York, Manhattan. Rosie quickly recognized the place where they lived was Fox Street, except that apartment 13 hasn't been built there yet.

— This is the past.

The boy became an atomic physicist under his father's expectation, but his body was annihilated in a quantum transformation experiment.

In front of Rosie appeared a man with a reorganized body. He was no longer a human being, but energy itself. He was stronger than a god, and he was invincible on the battlefield. The United States won the Vietnam War.

He was known as "Dr. Manhattan" and many people forgot his real name "Jon".

Rosie's brows twitched, she continued to watch, and then, the organization formed by the first generation of superpowers was hit by the US government, and they introduced the "Kean Act".

Without looking back, Rosie realized: "You... erased this history?"

Therefore, no matter how Rosie investigates in that world, the collection rate will always be 95%, because the "god" has erased this history, and manpower cannot make it 100%.

The screen paused, and the next second, the cardboard appeared again.

One side is completely wet, and the other side has been penetrated by a small half, and the wet part is still expanding.

The cardboard flipped under the force of Dr. Manhattan, who said: "There is no difference between front and back."

"My world is affecting the world of superheroes, because in my world they are just characters in comics. Even if comics don't determine their future, they do affect their future," Rosie mused, "but , Their world is also affecting the world I live in... Is it the penetration of superpowers?"

The boy grew taller, but his clothes were all gone. He stared at Rosie and said slowly, "Your world is being assimilated, and then one day in the future, it will be destroyed together with the world on the opposite side."

Already mentally prepared, Rosie's mood was very calm: "So I decided to stand up and save the world? I have already graduated from high school, so I can't be a magical girl anymore."

Well, maybe not so peaceful.

"I still don't understand..." She had mixed thoughts, "Is it you who lent me the power to change the future, and just like you in the past, to create a powerful enemy, so that human beings will work together and give up fighting as a last resort? , to prevent the destruction of this world?"

"But you erased that history."

Rosie was startled suddenly, she thought of something: "The parallel time and space you just showed me... your father and mother made different choices, so that a new world was created, and that world There's the same you, just not Dr. Manhattan—"

Her voice faltered.

"If everyone in the parallel world can compare with each other, but I didn't find Iron Man or Magneto... So, they may not be exactly the same person, right, especially the world I live in is so special... ..."

She realized it.

Dr. Manhattan didn't speak, just looked at her calmly.

The boy next to him has completely disappeared, he has become Manhattan, has no humanity, is just a god, just observes, and does not become the changer-he has erased countless universes, because those universes are "wrong".

"I am..." Rosie said softly, "You."

The universe, pictures, countless spaces, men, women, and Nazis were all annihilated at this moment, and then Rosie appeared, the future Rosie, the universe she lived in really ushered in an explosion, but her consciousness did not dissipate when it was destroyed , Conscious creatures are not governed by time, beyond this dimension, she returns to 2020 and finds that this moment is the starting point of fusion.

And the fusion of another world is the culprit that leads to the destruction of this world. The two worlds are one and the other, inseparable. The future "Rosie" soon realizes that as long as the other world is not destroyed, her own world will not be destroyed. to the same fate.

And when she travels to another world, Manhattan becomes aware of her presence.

Their powers are from the same source. The more Rosie uses this power, the faster the fusion with Manhattan will be. One day, she will lose herself and become "Manhattan" directly, because in the multiverse, there will only be a Manhattan.

—and Rosie made a decision.

She doesn't want to be a "god", and she doesn't even desire power, but she does need the help of power... To prevent the destruction of another world while retaining her own personality, she needs an anchor.

Rosie saw...memory and power will accelerate this kind of fusion, so the future self completely deleted this part of memory, and didn't know how to save everything, so she decided to try the way Dr. Manhattan walked, she raised her hand , transforming the game Rosie was playing at that time into a game system.She is the only special player, the staff retains part of her humanity, divides power, is human and not purely human——

If Rosie needs it, she can get her power back at any time, but accordingly, her state will be closer to Dr. Manhattan.

When Rosie lives in another world, the time in her original world is stopped, but the time in 2017 will continue to flow backwards until they overlap, and the two worlds merge and merge, and no one will realize that something is wrong, as if it was originally the case, World awareness fills in all the holes.

She borrowed a little power from Manhattan and fused it into the badge. When her power reaches a certain level and her humanity is not completely lost, she can retrieve that part of memory through the badge... and Dr. Manhattan, he just observed.

Because their powers are of the same origin, so that Manhattan can't see the future changed by Rosie, maybe this is the reason why he is willing to help.

The person emitting blue light disappeared, but more power was infused into the badge. This was what they agreed at the beginning, "one wish". If Rosie's plan fails, the world will be destroyed or the two sides will Complete fusion, this part of power will retain part of herself for her, if she succeeds, then this part of power will be used to help her complete the next plan.

——A god who has lost his humanity actually doesn't care what happens to humans. It's hard to tell whether it's because the humanity of Rosie, the same body, has attracted his attention to her.

The snow, the explosion, light and darkness all disappeared, Xia Chan, the warm wind and the flashing computer screen reappeared. Rosie raised her hand and completely erased the traces of her actions. In fact, these are not important at all... But she was used to it, and caution was etched into her soul.

She laughed at herself and closed her eyes—the flow of time was completely frozen.

In another world on the reverse side of the cardboard, the girl with blond hair and gray eyes yawned, and the red-haired woman beside her stretched out her hand. Rosie waved her hand and stood up by herself.

Phantom limb pain is a psychological problem. She doesn't want to treat it. In fact, she subconsciously doesn't want to contact any power that will change her personality.

So she changed the way -

Since the fear of pain was due to the fact that this body had been split in two, then it would be fine for her to reorganize her body directly.

The light blue light slowly disappeared, and the Rosie who reappeared was no different from the original one. She didn't even change the color of her hair, because that was not important anymore.

She raised her hand, and the badge was suspended in her palm: "...The experience of the predecessors can indeed be used as a reference, but only after I have personally experienced it can I realize that I cannot completely copy it."

Hatred, despair, conflict, doomsday, maybe a real enemy can indeed bring together the power of this world and make them give up hostility in fear, but Rosie doesn't want that, after three years, the people she cares about and are close to will also be Live in fear.

Pinning the badge on her chest, Rosie said, "It's time to contact all my allies...and enemies for a big change."
