The Wheel of Chronos

"Okay, turn left immediately." Mu Li said the first instruction immediately.Sharon glanced at it and saw that there was indeed an alley on the left hand side, so she immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car swung into the alley.The police chasing from behind didn't react for a while, and several cars rushed straight ahead.

The car that Xue Lun was driving was also shot sideways, and the driver's seat was shot several times. Fortunately, the body panels were still relatively thick, so the bullets were blocked.But a bullet flew in directly from the shattered side window, flew past Sharon's eyes, and hit the inside of the windshield, almost hitting her temple, and the windshield shattered into spider webs.

Without even batting an eye, Sharon stepped on the accelerator and dashed forward in the narrow space of the alley.This alley is really too narrow, and the edge of the vehicle will scrape against the walls on both sides from time to time. When driving to the middle of the alley, the distance between the walls on both sides narrows again. In the alley, stopped.

"Break through the windshield and get out!" Mu Li's command was delivered with great precision. As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Lun's right foot flew up, kicking the entire windshield out.Then she jumped up, rolled forward from the hood of the car and landed, and then ran away.

The police chasing behind were immediately blocked by the trapped car, and the gunshots rang out again, but it was already difficult to pose a threat to Xue Lun.

"Exit the alley, turn right immediately, and cross the road. There is an underground parking lot 100 meters ahead diagonally. Go inside. My people are waiting for you inside. A black off-road vehicle is parked in the A4 parking lot. "Mu Li said calmly, and after giving the order, she hung up the phone.

Like a machine, Xue Lun accurately completed Mu Li's instructions. When she ran into the underground garage with big strides, there were no policemen chasing her behind.She quickly found parking space A4, opened the rear door and got in.There was only a middle-aged woman sitting in the driver's seat in the car. She was dressed casually and looked very fashionable. She was wearing sunglasses and had a good appearance. Although her voice was old, her appearance did not look old at all.Seeing that Sharon came in, she said:

"There are clothes on the back seat, change them first, take off the hat, mask, etc., it's too eye-catching."

Sharon turned her head and saw that there was a paper bag on the back seat, and there was indeed a stack of clothes inside.She quickly took off her hat, let her long hair loose, and took off her goggles and face shield.He took off the dark combat uniform outside, put the lady's jacket in the bag on his body, then took off the boots, socks and combat pants, put on jeans and sneakers, put on a casual peaked cap, and instantly became a young man. A pretty girl who looks like a student.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Sharon's appearance in the rearview mirror, smiled, chewed gum, started the car, and drove the car out of the underground parking lot without haste.

"Where are we going?" Sharon asked after packing up her changed clothes.

"Don't worry, we'll be there in a while. Your Majesty wants to see you and Bishop Charles. Besides, your old housekeeper knows where to find you. Don't worry." The middle-aged woman said.

"Excuse me, are you...?"

"You don't care who I am, I'm not your enemy anyway." The middle-aged woman laughed.

Sharon stopped talking, supported the edge of the car window with her elbows, half-covered her cheeks with her palms, lowered her head and closed her eyes to rest.A police car whizzed past her with its siren on, but the car was not stopped for questioning.The invisible earphones in Sharon's ears were still bugging the police channel, and the police seemed to have received an order to temporarily abandon the pursuit and go back to maintain law and order near Westminster Abbey.The news from the live broadcast showed that the protesters were violent and were clashing with the left-behind riot police.

Tonight, she escaped a catastrophe.Using himself as a bait to force the police to interrupt Bishop Charles' plan to arrive at the scene to give a speech did achieve unexpectedly good results.But if there is no sudden help from Her Majesty the Queen tonight, will she be able to escape unscathed?Maybe she is still being chased by the police now, or maybe she has already been shot.But no matter what, she chose to trust Her Majesty the Queen, and now she does not intend to change this choice.

After driving for 10 minutes, we arrived at a house surrounded by walls. The door of the house was opened, and the car drove in along the road.In front of you, there is a beautiful picture of a Chinese classical garden. Under the ingenious lighting, it exudes an ancient oriental atmosphere in the night.In the middle of the garden, there is an elegant and beautiful Chinese-style antique building. It is a double-storey building with seven rooms and three entrances, cornices and brackets, full of Tang style.This environment made Sharon, a child who grew up in a classical British mansion, feel a little swaying, like a dream.

The car parked in a small parking lot with only three parking spaces, and Xue Lun followed the middle-aged woman out of the car, and walked along the stone-paved path towards the antique mansion.Although the house is thoroughly imitated from the antique, there are also a lot of modern residential equipment that should be there.For example, the fingerprint and iris recognition system when entering the main entrance.The main entrance is an automatic sliding door, which opens to both sides after unlocking, and Xue Lun followed the middle-aged woman into the house.

After taking off their shoes at the entrance, they stepped onto the corridor floor, walked through the long corridor, and went straight to the main hall.Stopping in front of the carved grille door in the main hall, the middle-aged woman knocked on the door:

"Ali, Lanny, someone brought it here."

"Okay, come in." Her Highness the Queen's voice came from inside the room.

Xue Lun couldn't help but glanced at the middle-aged woman beside her. What did she call Her Majesty the Queen and Her Highness the Queen just now?

The middle-aged woman opened the door and led Sharon in.At a glance, Xue Lun saw Her Majesty the Empress and Her Highness the Empress who were sitting cross-legged on the couch, playing chess face to face.The two were playing Go. Xue Lun glanced roughly, and saw that Her Majesty the Empress holding the black pieces had already lost the wind and was contemplating deeply.

"Thanks for your hard work, cousin. I need you to make a trip at night." Lan Ni raised her head from the chessboard and said to the middle-aged woman beside Sharon.

cousin? !It turns out that this person is... Mrs. Mo Kexin, the chairman of the Mo Group?Sharon was secretly taken aback.

"It's okay, anyway, I happen to be at the beauty salon nearby, so I just picked up someone for you." The middle-aged woman waved her hand, then smiled at Sharon, and said, "I'm going to sleep first, and you don't need to sleep." Always stay up all night, you will grow old quickly."

"Hehe..." Lan Ni laughed and waved at her, "I will accompany you to the spa some other day."

The middle-aged woman left, and Xue Lun stood there a little sluggishly, her brain hadn't finished sorting out the complicated information in front of her for a moment.Lan Ni raised her hand and poked Mu Li's forehead who was obsessed with the chess game and said nothing.Mu Li came back to his senses, glanced at Lan Ni innocently, then turned to Xue Lun, showing a kind smile:

"Come on, sit down." She pointed to the mahogany sofa not far away.

Sharon bowed slightly, then sat down obediently.

"It was Tianyang who called me, otherwise I wouldn't contact you rashly." Mu Li cut to the point.

Tianyang... Xue Lun only realized it now, she had just turned back the time by an hour, Tianyang must have observed it, did this time going backwards have any effect on her?

"Princess...is everything all right?"

"She's fine, don't worry." Mu Li said.

"It's just that you caused her to meet twice with the people on Shule Island, and she was forced to jump back to the ship." Lan Ni said very bluntly.

Mu Li calmly raised his hand and pressed down to comfort Lan Ni.Xue Lun immediately stood up, bowed and apologized solemnly:

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know I could go back an hour or I..."

"If it's 1 minute, doesn't it matter?" Mu Li asked with a smile.

Sharon was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.Yeah, doesn't it matter if it takes 1 minute?

"Earl Sunderland, the reason why I immediately decided to protect you is because the situation has become quite serious, and I have no choice but to act, otherwise your existence and your ability may be completely exposed, and you will be killed." It caused huge trouble. I hope you can have a correct understanding of this." Mu Li spoke calmly, but the weight of her words was so heavy that after she finished speaking, Xue Lun only felt her scalp tense, Subconsciously clenched his fists.Maybe she really lacks awareness of the consequences of the ability to rewind time, or maybe she has begun to rely on this ability subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am weak and weak. I am inexplicably endowed with such a mysterious and powerful ability. I am terrified. My purpose is to find out the reason for the collapse of the church and find out who killed my sister." The real culprit, and the air accidents of my father and stepmother are also quite strange." Sharon took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and cleared her mind.

"I understand your purpose, but you also need to understand that it is not easy for you to start investigating the collapse of the church. Is there any real culprit in the collapse of the church six years ago? What's going on, and your ability to turn back time, all of these are completely linked to national security, and they are inseparable. As the leader of this empire, I cannot just sit idly by." Mu Li said solemnly, "I need to talk to You have a good talk, and if you think it is necessary to thoroughly intervene in the investigation of the collapse accident, I can arrange for you to read the information. But the premise is that you can no longer freely use the ability to reverse time, and you must cooperate with our analysis of this ability and monitoring."

"But, the National Security Bureau..." Sharon hesitated, "I heard that Lemurian spies from the National Security Bureau have infiltrated, and the National Security Bureau's intelligence network may no longer be reliable."

"I know, Tianyang has told me. What I use is not the intelligence network of the National Security Bureau, but my private intelligence network. I haven't been alerted by the National Security Bureau, and the screening work is being carried out in secret. I am so careful, why are you so bold ?" Mu Li walked to Xuelun's side, looked at her with a smile and said.Her Majesty's height is comparable to that of Xue Lun, her expression is pleasant, and there is no emotion in her tone of reproach, but the aura of being in a high position for many years still brings an invisible sense of oppression to Xue Lun, even if she asks very gently, Xue Lun's queen His back was already wet with cold sweat.

She was silent and speechless.Her actions tonight were indeed somewhat reckless, but it was also because the situation had indeed reached a point where she could not fully control it.She exposed herself tonight, and the dark forces who assassinated Bishop Charles may have noticed her existence.Even if she didn't reveal her identity, it's really not appropriate for her to continue being a lone ranger.

"Sit down, don't hold back." Mu Li's oppressive aura suddenly dissipated, he patted Xue Lun's shoulder lightly, and Xue Lun took the opportunity to sit down.

"Can you show me that pocket watch?"

Sharon hesitated for a moment, then took out a pocket watch from her pocket.Mu Li didn't take it, but just glanced at it.

"Son, why do you always have such a sullen face and speak so old-fashionedly? At first glance, I thought you were already my age. You have suffered a lot." Mu Li said with a smile, and handed Xue Xue a hand. Lun poured a cup of tea, "Are you still young, 26 years old?"

"En." Sharon replied softly, taking the teacup respectfully.

"Four years older than our family Tianyang, you are a big sister."

Although the phrase "You are my sister" referred to something completely different, it instantly hurt Xue Lun's heart.Mu Li's voice seemed to overlap with her father's voice in memory. When Josephine first came home that year, her father sat in front of her like this and told her seriously, "You are a sister, you must take good care of your sister."

Seeing her inadvertent expression, Mu Li knew what was going on in her heart, so he couldn't help but sighed and said:

"It's really regrettable that your sister Josephine left at such a young age. I understand your desire to avenge her. Sharon, don't mind if I call you that."

Sharon shook her head.

"Do you want to see your sister?" Mu Li suddenly asked.

"What?!" Sharon was taken aback, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"Don't get me wrong." Mu Li raised his hand to deny Xue Lun's guess, and the light in Xue Lun's eyes dimmed.Mu Li pointed to the pocket watch she held in her hand, and said:

"This watch may take you back six years ago."

Sharon stared at the pocket watch in her hand, lost in thought.But Mu Li's next words sent her into hell completely:

"But do you know what Tianyang experienced during the hour you went backwards tonight? She now lives an hour and a minute longer than she did before the regression. Although she didn't say anything, I can see that she Her body was damaged in the process of going backward in time. So if you go back six years, what will happen to her, have you thought about it?"

Sharon's body trembled slightly.

"How cruel it is to control time, I hope you can understand." Mu Li gently squeezed the teacup and drank the tea in it.Lan Ni quietly walked out of the living room and connected the phone in the corridor:

"Mom, Sharon Spencer, have you picked it up?" On the other end of the phone, Tianyang's image trembled a little. She was talking to Lanny while walking.At this moment, she finally entered the military camp on Shule Island, and was following the logistics officer to her dormitory.

Lan Ni sighed secretly: "She's fine, we've already saved her."

"That's good, I'll leave her to you." Tianyang smiled, "This guy is too annoying, you have to take care of her and don't let her mess around again, otherwise I will still fight."

"Yangyang, listen to your mother." Lan Ni said earnestly, "Your mother has already called Admiral Sartre. Your front-line mission has been temporarily canceled. In a few hours, the transfer order will be sent to the front line. You must hurry up Come back, understand?"

Tian Yang on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and said, "I see."

After hanging up the phone, Lanny rubbed the center of her brows and sighed deeply again.

The author has something to say: this is the end of the bullshit's nonsense, and then there is a master who will take you to fly.
