Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Drink of Weak Water for Three Thousand Times

The two walked silently under the black sky surrounded by twelve constellations. Grexin seemed to have been familiar with every part of this time and space. eyes, humming an unknown song. Lan Ruisi followed behind him, and didn't know how to talk to him, so he could only look up boredly at the passing constellations one by one. From a realistic point of view, the images of those constellations are much clearer than the most advanced three-dimensional space projection technology of the twentieth century.But it is not appropriate to say that they are projections, because the huge constellations are all alive, not rigid and unchanging images.

They are now passing through Sagittarius, which is also the first constellation that Lan Ruisi saw when he first arrived. When he saw "Him" for the first time, the image of the half-man and half-horse was sleeping soundly, but at this moment he had already woken up , Seeing Grexin and Lan Ruisi walking by, the half-man and half-horse took a few steps fiercely, raising the golden longbow in his hand. Because this image was too realistic, Lan Ruisi was a little short of breath, and his steps slowed down. "Don't worry, he's just pretending," Gray said without looking back, "You can't touch him, and he can't touch you."

When passing Aquarius, Grexin stopped and looked up a little anxiously. Lan Ruisi followed his gaze. At first glance, there was nothing there, but when he looked more closely, he found that there was a crack on one side of the huge vase, and water was slowly seeping. "Aquarius shattered," Grayson murmured, "bad bad." "What's wrong?" Lan Ruisi couldn't help asking. "Aquarius is in trouble." Of course, Lan Ruisi didn't understand such a statement, but Grexin didn't say much, just walked forward. When walking past Leo, Lan Ruisi found that there was something wrong with the lion in that constellation.

Hmm... Such a statement may be a bit strange, because Lan Ruisi's feeling for lions should not appear on the animal's expression in theory. However, Lan Ruisi did feel that the expression of the huge lion was worried. Grayson had the same idea. "Lions are worried," he said, shaking his head. "Leos are also worried." After passing the lion, plump and beautiful Virgo dressed in ancient Greek costumes, Cancer with a particularly large left pincer, and a huge scale shining with silvery white light appeared in the sky. Finally, Ge Leixin stopped in front of the Scorpio, which was shining with a strange blue light.

"Here, I want to tell you a story." He said quietly: "After you listen, I will tell you how to find your wife." Lan Ruisi opened his eyes wide and nodded quickly. "The beginning of this story is a ballad." Grexin looked into the distance and said quietly. "Time Hero Lei Gexin, for love, Traveling through three thousand years of time and space, Just to see her smile... He gathers the juicy fruit of the peach blossoms, Fleeing from a murderous pursuit, He shoulders the ups and downs of the rich, Marvel at the magnificence of the magical kingdom.

He sits and watches the stardust fall, For a lost memory, Traveling through three thousand years of time and space, Just because of her shallow smile..." The few lines in this song are not unfamiliar to Lan Ruisi, because he has seen them in Rael's Time Demon Realm. "Then... it's you, right?" Grayson nodded. "This is a ballad that has been circulated since the 22nd century, but no one knows when and where it began to be circulated, and few people regard it as a real thing. a legend." "Then what era are you from?" "I was born in the twenty-fourth century, that is to say, I was born two hundred years later than the song just now, and the origin of my name is also very ridiculous. Inspired by 'Time Hero' I have done many movies, and my father is a standard sci-fi movie fan. My name was inspired by the movie. My background is very ordinary. After graduating from school, I was just a small employee, needless to say A great time hero, even to buy a game encyclopedia software, you have to save a few months of salary, and take urban transportation to get off work online every day, and your life is more ordinary than ordinary people.”

"If that's the case," Lan Ruisiqi said, "How did you become the hero of time?" "Speaking of it, I still have to blame the game encyclopedia software, because there is a banned technology in that software: 'Pandora Nucleic Acid'." "Pandora Nucleic Acid?" Lan Ruisi cried out. This term was also mentioned in Rael's information, and it was also a major technology published in a scientific conference. "You also know this kind of thing?" Grexin looked at him curiously, "You should be a person in the twentieth century, how could you know this kind of thing?"

Therefore, Lan Ruisi simply narrated his experience.From the time when the bus crashed into the strange stone exhibition, how he picked up the prehistoric silver chain, how he analyzed the image of the woman in the silver chain, and how he came to the Time Demon Realm in the air crash. Involved in the Time Forest. Greixin listened to Lan Ruisi's narration, but did not have any emotional reaction, only showing a slightly surprised expression when he mentioned the silver chain. "Is that silver chain still on you?" asked Grayson. Lan Ruisi took off the silver chain from his neck and handed it to Grexin.

Grexin looked at the silver chain in a daze. "This chain used to belong to me. I haven't seen it for a long time since I buried it," he whispered, "but it's in your hands again." Lan Ruisi was stunned, not knowing what he really meant. Greixin held the chain in his hand, concentrated for a moment, and released a soft light from the pendant. The color of the light kept changing between purple, orange, pink, and bright red, reflecting in the space, showing a colorful scene. Incarnation of the wind, thunder, water, electricity strange man, in the flow of time to hunt down fugitives.

Fallen flowers are everywhere, and the scene of the peach blossom forest is chillingly beautiful. The scene of the ruins of the city destroyed by the war. There is also a scene of a woman gazing at the sunset in front of a long embankment with her back to the camera. The group of dinosaurs rolling up the yellow sand... The tragic sky where water and fire fought... The battle of the star fortress that escaped death... Of course, there is also Leier (or Jie'er) who has a misty figure and faintly sings a melodious and moving voice. "This thing is a magnetic field sensor, like an omnipotent key. As long as you use it properly, all phenomena related to the magnetic field can be in your hands. Images and sounds like these are hidden in it. message."

He handed back the silver chain to Lan Ruisi, but Lan Ruisi didn't reach out his hand. "Since it's yours, I think it should be returned to you." "Give it back to me? No need," Greixin smiled lonely, "People who don't even want memories, what do they want this kind of thing? What's more, it has experienced many masters after me, like it just came out. There are many images that I have never seen. The owner is destined, and since it is in your hands, it must have its meaning." Lan Ruisi didn't insist anymore, and hung the silver chain around his neck again. "And I tell you, if you want to find your lover, take it with you, because it will be very useful." After a pause, he said again: "Where did we just talk about?" "Speaking of 'Pandora Nucleic Acid' in your encyclopedia." "Yes, it's that damn 'Pandora Nucleic Acid'!" Gray Xin clapped his hands and clenched his fists, "This technology can allow people to acquire a lot of knowledge in a short period of time, and make people have extraordinary intelligence. But because the side effects are so great that they almost wiped out the species on Earth, in our time, Pandora Nucleic Acid is already a forbidden technology, and if it is stolen, it will be severely punished." "But, you still went to steal it?" "That's right. Because the beauty of knowledge is very attractive, people who steal Pandora's nucleic acid may not have any ambitions, but if it is misused, it will indeed cause serious problems and side effects. And the side effects I have are The ability to travel through time and space." "Isn't that great? Such an ability must be the dream of many people." "But the problem is that the Pandora Nucleic Acid Agency in the 24th century already has a way to prevent this type of crime. Incidentally, even in the 24th century, time travel is still an incomplete technology, Scientists can't exactly grasp the mystery of time. In other words, no one can complete a time travel and come back safely. But in fact, Pandora's nucleic acid has enabled a group of biochemical policemen to partially grasp this time The ability to travel." "The biochemical policeman?" Lan Ruisi asked, "What is that?" "Biochemicals are a new species of human beings in the 24th century. Their genes are artificially synthesized. Among these cyborgs, there is another race called 'transformed cyborgs'. This kind of cyborgs has very Terrible ability, that is to say, they can transform between human form and various elemental configurations. Generally speaking, this kind of cyborgs are in the most forms of wind, thunder, water, and electricity. This kind of transformed cyborgs are all It's the police of the Pandora Nucleic Acid Bureau, and their mission is to hunt down the criminals who violated the Pandora Nucleic Acid Regulations. When I first had the side effect of stealing Pandora Nucleic Acid, I didn't know that I had the ability to travel through time and space. Knowing that I can parasitize between different physical bodies in the way of soul group transfer. Later, the fact that I stole Pandora's nucleic acid became known, and the bureau sent several strongest biochemical captains to hunt me down. During the hunt, Only then did I know that this ability to transfer souls can travel through time and space at the same time." "That's time travel, right?" Lan Ruisi asked: "You have been to many eras because of this, right?" "Strictly speaking, my time travel has also failed. For unknown reasons, many of the worlds I have visited are parallel time and space that are not directly related to our world, so my time travel is an incomplete journey." "don't know." Lan Ruisi shook his head honestly, because he really couldn't understand what Grexin was saying. "The real world is a world with many parallel spaces. For example, if you press a voice service that is most commonly used in the twentieth century, you can choose one, two, three, and each choice will take you to the next one. Choice area, right?" "right." "Later, maybe you pressed one, but at this moment, you pressed one, two, and three, and the world has branched out, each developing in a different direction. But with yourself For example, you only remember that you pressed one, and the subsequent development is after pressing the one button. Do you understand this?" "So," Lan Ruisi suddenly realized, "In fact, there are countless worlds parallel to ours, but the development of history is completely different?" "Generally speaking, it is extremely impossible for parallel worlds to intersect, but for some reason, my ability to travel through time and space allows me to enter these parallel worlds." "In that song, is it about the world you have been to?" "During that journey to evade capture, I have been to a time-space world where there is no country but only wealthy companies, a world where man-made peach blossom gardens are made, and a world of witchcraft that does not believe in science but only in metaphysics." "These... are all parallel worlds that have nothing to do with us?" "That's right, the witchcraft world is a wonderful time and space where human beings did not follow the scientific route during the enlightenment period of the Middle Ages, but chose the metaphysical route. In that place, science is a kind of superstition, and scientists are regarded as charlatans. object of ridicule." "It's weird." Lan Ruisi said with a faint smile, "And what does the song 'for her smile' mean?" "In the process of traveling through different time and space, I have incurred some love debts. Someone was shot and died in my arms, and someone was sad for my life. However, during the process, because of the side effects of Pandora's nucleic acid, The back of a woman appears in my mind from time to time, but in my mind, I faintly feel that if I can get her to turn around and smile at me in exchange, then she is willing to die." Lan Ruisi had also seen this picture before, but because he only cared about Jie'er in his heart at the moment, he didn't want to say anything else, so as not to prolong the topic. Without Jieer's worries, hearing Gray's story would be an interesting experience.However, at this moment, he only hoped that Greixin could finish his speech quickly, and then fulfill his promise to show him how to find Jie'er. "This woman, of course you saw it later, didn't you?" "Her name is Leilan, and I saw her in a time and space where gangsters ruled the world," said Grexin, looking at him with profound eyes, as if he could understand his psychology. "And we ran desperately in the end, trying to avoid the pursuit of gangsters and biochemical people. In the end, we were trapped on a long embankment, and it was there that I realized that Leilan was what I wanted to see in the three thousand years of time and space. People. Because of this, I gave up the chance to escape to another time and space, and I was willing to let go, because I couldn’t choose which time and space to go to. If I left a time and space, the chance of going back was zero. At that time I, as stupid as you, can tie my hands for the sake of love, just because I can see her for a few more minutes." "That's not stupidity," Lan Ruisi said stubbornly, "it's persistence." Grexin ignored him and just continued talking. "Later, I was arrested by the biochemical police and taken back to the 24th century for trial..." "Wait!" Lan Ruisi couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that after leaving a time and space, the chance of going back is zero? Why are they escorting you back?" "I didn't understand this at the time, but I later learned that when I traveled through different time and space, I would leave a trace of the magnetic field in time and space. This is how the biochemical people hunted me down. It's the same ability." He said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?" Lan Ruisi spread his hands and nodded. "Later, they arranged a big trial, and the person who helped me with the lawsuit was actually the director of the Time Development Bureau. During the trial, everyone knew that my time journey was a deliberately arranged experiment!" "Experiment?" Lan Ruisi asked. "Well!" Greixin said: "It turns out that the people from the Time Development Bureau knew that the biochemicals from the Pandora Nucleic Acid Bureau had already mastered some of the secrets of time travel, but they were unwilling to disclose them to the public, so the Time Development Bureau planned this experiment." "so you……" "So, my so-called 'Time Hero' is actually just an experimental guinea pig. But in my conscience, the people of the Time Bureau are kind to me, because they tried their best to help me get rid of the crime, but in the end they still failed. gone." Grayson smiled self-deprecatingly. "Later, I chose to be exiled and asked the court to sentence me to be exiled to the time and space of Leilan." "You... went back?" Lan Ruisi asked cautiously. "certainly." "She, I mean the woman you love, is she still there?" "Still there?" "Still loving You?" "The love between us will last till death." All of a sudden, Lan Ruisi only felt a sense of being cheated overflowing his chest, so he said loudly: "Then you still tell people to give up on love? You are happy yourself, and you are old with your lover, so tell others not to give up love." Pursuing love? What kind of reason is this?" Afterwards, he was filled with righteous indignation. "I have found true love, but see others struggling in pain. Is it really so happy? Why can't I share happiness with others?" Grexin looked at him quietly and with interest. "Have you finished?" Lan Ruisi was taken aback. "Say... it's over." "Can I talk?" "Please say." "Have you ever thought about it?" Grexin smiled lightly: "If I am really as happy as you said, why would I still stand here, looking at the sky lonely, playing the piano and singing alone, sometimes , but also to hear an idiot like you yelling at me?" Lan Ruisi was speechless for a while, unable to speak. "Now, do you still want to hear what happened between me and Leilan?" "Think." Lan Ruisi said in a low voice, but her tone was already a little frustrated. Greixin flicked the rusty sword in his hand, making a nice clanking sound. "Later, people from the biochemical police team used a magnetic field to urge me to send me to the time and space of war where Lei Lan was. We live in a hidden island, Juegu. Our life is very hard, because we are far away from civilization, and it is a tropical island. We always have to fight with natural winds, floods, poisonous insects, and wild animals. But we are very happy. , especially in early spring, basking in the sun on the prairie full of wildflowers is the happiest part of our memories.” Lan Rui wanted to say something, but held back. "I know, we are still very happy, right? But one day, an image appeared in front of my eyes, and I already knew that this happiness would not last long." "What happened? The gang is chasing you?" "No, if it's a gangster, at least it's an enemy that can be defeated, but this time, the enemy is invincible." "What kind of enemy is so powerful?" "That afternoon, the summer was coming to an end. She and I were sitting on the hill watching the sea. My pace was relatively fast. I had already climbed up the hill and sat down. Looking down at the hillside, her small figure approached me. Then , there was a section of the mountain road where I couldn't see her, so I stood up and tiptoed desperately, so that I could see her earlier. However, when she appeared, she was panting, but she still didn't forget to smile at me Only then did I realize that the most terrifying enemy had appeared on her body." Greixin spoke leisurely, as if returning to the seaside in that late summer. "Her smile is still beautiful, but it is covered with wrinkles and her hair is gray. We can escape the most vicious pursuit, and I can travel through the most difficult time and space, but in the end, I still can't escape time." "she……" "When she passed away, she stopped breathing in my arms. In fact, we have been together for a very long time. She was very old when she passed away, and she was probably in her eighties. No matter how deep our love is, in the end I can only let her stop breathing in my arms." "What about you? Won't you grow old?" "Since I started to have the side effect of Pandora's nucleic acid, my existence is only the form of my soul group. Every time I transfer, I just use a different person's body." "So, that's the so-called immortality, isn't it?" "I would rather position it as a nightmare from which I cannot wake up." Gray Xin smiled, but that smile seemed to have a bitter taste. "Now, you still have to ask me, can love lead to happiness?" After Grexin finished his story of "traveling through time and space for three thousand years", he didn't speak for a while.And Lan Ruisi did not speak. In the vast and deep time and space, the twelve constellations drift slowly with the fluctuation of time. After a long time, Greixin said: "And you told me that you ran into Time Pulse desperately just to find your lover?" There was something mocking in his smile. "What's her name? Jie'er?" "Her name is Jie'er." Lan Ruisi said. "Jie'er, of course," Greixin said with a smile, "and after hearing about my past, don't you feel that love has always been just an empty dream? Like me, I even risked my life for Leilan, The destiny that cannot be redeemed is just to be with her. Two people love each other so deeply, but in the end they can only watch her die in my arms. Those who are in love are still doomed to be separated, why do you waste your life to What about the pursuit?" "Didn't you tell me that as long as I finished listening to your past events in time and space, you would tell me how to find my wife?" Lan Ruisi said, "I don't think I asked you for help to explain my view of love, did I?" Grexin looked at him intently, as if trying to find out what was really going on in his heart. Lan Ruisi smiled slightly. "I think, maybe you are the greatest time hero in history, maybe you think that you have seen all the comings and goings of time. But in my eyes, you are still just like me, just a mortal, although you I thought I had understood everything, but I thought, under the shell of your hero of time, there are still loves and dislikes of mortals, right? The one who sees through love may actually be the most difficult to see through, because if you see through it completely, you will never be able to see through it. Why bother to say it?" Gray was silent. "I also think, you must have not forgotten the feeling of loving someone, right?" Lan Ruisi said: "Look at her, miss her, close your eyes before going to sleep, and think about her appearance before falling asleep. This You should not have forgotten this feeling, right? Maybe you think that you have transcended everything, but in my time, someone said this sentence..." "What?" Grayson asked. "'Even if there is eternal peace in heaven, I would rather worry about love in the mortal world.' As for you," Lan Ruisi said with a cheerful smile, "psychological counseling is very popular in our twentieth century, like you For such a hero who has experienced thousands of years of life, it is absolutely impossible to talk to a consultant." Greixin stared at Lan Ruisi for a long time, then raised the rusty sword on his back and laughed loudly. "What a 'worried about love'! I can't listen to your reasoning, but I don't think you can understand my feelings." He nodded and smiled, "Want to save your sweetheart? I don't know if there is a way help you, but I will do my best." Amidst the laughter, Grexin walked in front of Lan Ruisi, turned his back to him, and raised up the rusty sword in his hand. Following his gestures, the rusty sword gradually emitted a lavender light, and faintly Come the sound of wind and thunder. In the sound of wind and thunder, Ge Leixin said loudly: "The time and space you and I are in now, I don't know who is the masterpiece. I have traveled all the worlds of time and space, and this space is the most confusing to me. Moreover, according to my knowledge It is speculated that this space-time may be man-made." A bead of sweat stood on his brow. "This is the end of time, the end of space, the twelve constellations you see here, each is a passage to all the worlds in the universe, Aries, Aquarius, Pisces, Taurus, Aries, Cancer, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, each constellation is in charge of a time tunnel of two thousand years, but whether you can reach the world where your Jieer is, to be honest, I am not sure. But you are not completely unsure Chance, the chain of time in your hand is the best weapon to correct the magnetic field, with it, you will have a better chance of returning safely than anyone else, remember not to lose it." At this time, with Gray's new magnetic field, the twelve constellations have also appeared abnormal. The cracks in Aquarius have deepened. Gemini's blond child is crying uncomfortably. Leo couldn't stop roaring. Sagittarius has pulled the golden bow away. The two fishes of Pisces are head to tail. Libra has tipped the other way. From the twelve constellations, a churning bright electric current appeared, and after lingering in the air for a long time, it slowly condensed and concentrated on Grey's new rusty sword. "Every two thousand years have their own time and space, their own dreams," Grexin shouted: "And once you penetrate into their world, you will cause terrible changes and shatter the fate of many people. But fate is so , that’s how it should be, I just hope you can take care of yourself.” Most of the current was concentrated in the sky above Lan Ruisi, the wind was strong, and the sound of the wind pierced into the eardrum as if tangible, making the whole body feel like it was about to shatter. Lan Ruisi instinctively wanted to yell, but didn't know if he could yell, because the wind was so loud that even the shrillest cries couldn't reach his ears. However, Gray's new voice still came into his ears clearly. "You come from the 20th century AD, which was the generation of Pisces. Fish are always mentioned in Bible legends and religious legends, and it was also a romantic and irrelevant two thousand years of time and space. But at the end of the century, it gradually turned into the generation of Aquarius, and that It will be a world of neuter and unprovoked, where men are women, old are young, young bully the elders, right and wrong become blurred era." Greixin looked at Lan Ruisi with a mocking look in his eyes again. "However, what your love drifts to is a generation of Scorpio, which may be thousands of years before you, or thousands of years after you. However, the time and space of Scorpio is full of mystery, chaotic , adventurous, and vengeful generation, if you enter, you may never come back and die in that time and space..." Suddenly, Gray's expression turned serious. "I'll ask you again, you won't regret it?" Lan Ruisi took a deep breath, but couldn't speak. "You, never regret it?" Suddenly, a force appeared from nowhere, causing Lan Ruisi to scream loudly. "I will never regret it!" "Then why are you still waiting?" Ge Leixin screamed, the sword in his hand and the current in the sky suddenly condensed together, dazzling in the space. When the light weakened, the space-time of the twelve constellations returned to its original silence, but Lan Ruisi had long since disappeared. Grexin looked at the huge scorpion in the sky, feeling something in his heart. After staring at it for a long time, he sang with his six-stringed violin empty-handed. However, as she sang, all the six strings broke with a "clang" at the same moment. Looking at the twelve constellations in the sky, faintly, there are unstable waves swaying in it. Although on the surface, the twelve constellations have returned to silence, but there is a faint red light in it, like the restlessness before the mountain rain is about to come. "I don't know if it's right or not," he muttered to himself, "Could it be that we want to go back to that troubled world?" But, for some reason, Lan Ruisi's words kept echoing in Greixin's ears from time to time. "Even if there is eternal peace in heaven, I would rather worry about love in the mortal world." He stared at the image of the scorpion again for a long time, before he let out a long sigh and raised the rusted sword again. "Idiot, idiot." In the sound of wind and thunder, he murmured to himself, and finally followed in the footsteps of Lan Ruisi, and entered the Scorpio time and space with lightning. In an instant, the entire constellation time and space returned to the ancient silence, and there was no more sound. Twelve huge images of constellations rippled in the deep sky, as if nothing had happened. However, from the center of the Scorpio star map, a goose-colored line faintly appeared at this time, like a fiery iron wire penetrating into the water, and where it passed, an undercurrent like smoke and water patterns was aroused. Then, as if it would be contagious, the twelve star charts were gradually covered with faint water marks and smoke marks, and in the deep space, they kept shaking like crazy, as if there was already hidden in it. An earth-shattering huge change happened...
