The Wheel of Chronos

"What should I do now, tell me? Huh?" On the night of December 12, at 31:19, in the guest house of the Academy of Sciences, in Queen Lani's room, she was on the phone with Mu Li.

On the other end of the video, Mu Li's expression was serious, he was silent for a while, and replied:

"In short, we still need to do experiments to find out what the compensation mechanism is, and then cut off this compensation mechanism. Fortunately, now that pocket watches are forced into the Academy of Sciences, Xue Lun has no right to go back in time, and Tianyang is temporarily unavailable. Not life-threatening."

"You sound good. Is it really as simple as you think? Who knows if the pocket watch will open on its own? At that time, our Yangyang will become sacrificial lambs!" Lan Ni said angrily, her eyes overflowing. full of tears.

Mu Li clenched his teeth, lowered his head and sighed.

"Why did this happen... What did we, Yangyang, do wrong? It was all caused by that Sharon Spencer. If possible, I really want to kill her!" Lanny said angrily.

"Calm down, what's the use of blaming all this on Xue Lun? Our top priority is to find a way to solve the problem." Mu Li persuaded.

"At the beginning, if Yang Yang hadn't touched Sharon's pocket watch, what would have happened." Lan Ni asked absentmindedly.

Mu Li was silent for a moment and said:

"I'll take time to come over tomorrow, don't think about it anymore, go and rest."

……

Sharon was sitting alone on the balcony of the room, holding a glass of bourbon and drinking silently.The monotonous night scene in the Academy of Sciences in the distance was lifeless, and she felt as if a big rock had been pressed against her heart, and she couldn't breathe.

Compensation, why is there such a horrible word in this world.Xue Lun never thought of hurting any innocent people. Tianyang's involvement in all this was not what she wanted. If she could, why wasn't she the one who repaid the energy.Why is she just a goddamn intermediary, but wants Tianyang to repay the lost cosmic energy.Why did she go back in time? If she had known earlier, she would never have done so.

The universe is killing a tiny creature on earth, that's nothing, the universe hasn't stopped killing creatures every second.But that's just the law of nature, the law of nature that treats all things as dogs.However, Xue Lun felt some kind of malice from the ruthlessness of heaven, the universe seemed to be consciously killing Tianyang.

This thought made her shudder.

Recalling her first meeting with Tianyang, every word they said and every movement they made at that time was not intentional, but unintentional, everything just happened so naturally, Tianyang touched her The pocket watch, as if being kissed by a devil, has since been branded with the imprint of hell, and has been dragged into the abyss bit by bit.

Sharon felt her own sin for the first time, and she wanted to find a church to confess, but unfortunately she couldn't leave here.She put down the wine glass, took out the cross hanging around her neck from her skirt, clasped her hands, and began to pray.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a slight knock on the door, she frowned, stood up and listened intently for two seconds, "bang", the knock sounded again, but this time it was only once.Who will come to visit her at this time?She walked to the door and clicked on the intercom screen next to the door, but she didn't see anyone.

Huh?Strange.

She unlocked the safety lock and opened the door. With a "poof", a person sitting on the ground leaning against the door fell in after she opened the door.

"Heh! Tianyang!" Xue Lun felt dizzy from being hit on the head.

What unfolded before her eyes was an extremely terrifying picture.Tianyang's neck was pulled open with a terrifying blood hole, and the blood was constantly gushing out. Her whole body was like a thread of anger, her face was like gold paper, and she was holding a white towel stained red with blood in one hand, tightly covering her face. His own wounds, he fell to the ground, unable to speak.She crawled from her room to the door of Sharon's room, dragging out a horrible bloodstain.

"Tianyang! Stay awake! Hold on!"

Xue Lun immediately rushed into the room and pulled all the pillows and quilts on the bed. She let Tianyang lie on her side, with the wound on her left neck facing up, put two big pillows under her head, and wrapped all the quilts around her. over her body to prevent her from hypothermia.Then she took out all the towels in the bathroom, tied up the wound on her neck carefully, spread several layers of towels, and immediately opened the wristband to call for help.

There were hurried footsteps from the other end of the corridor, and Lan Ni appeared in front of Sharon not long after.

"Tianyang!" Her Royal Highness's scream made Xue Lun's heart twist, her face was pale, full of panic.

"How could this be, how could this be?! Tianyang!"

"Your Highness, I have already called for emergency services, and they will be here in five minutes!"

"It's too late, it's too late!" Seeing Tianyang's blood staining the towel layer by layer, her body was twitching, her life was rapidly draining, her breathing became weaker and weaker, Lan Ni's voice changed, she Grabbing Sharon's hand suddenly,

"Pocket watch!"

Sharon immediately stood up and said:

"I know, I'll go right away!"

Sharon immediately threw off her steps and ran out. When she quickly passed through the corridor, she heard Lanny's almost desperate scream:

"You must save her!!!"

Xue Lun gritted her teeth and ran out of the guest house without looking back, stumbling and running on the road in the park.At this time, her mind was blank, only one thought drove her, she wanted to save people, and she wanted to turn back time.She increased her running speed to the fastest, and like a cheetah in the dark night, she rushed towards the Institute of High Energy Physics.The mechanical arm and the mechanical leg were running at high speed, and her lungs were on fire and they were about to explode. This was a distance of nearly one kilometer. She ran the entire distance at a sprint speed of 2 meters. When she arrived at the downstairs of the Institute of High Energy Physics, it took 09 Minutes and [-] seconds.

现在时刻，新历172年1月1日凌晨0点04分。远处传来放礼花的声响，原来时间已经来到了新的一年。

But Sharon had no room to think about what was there and what was not. She quickly rushed into the Institute of High Energy Physics, running upstairs while counting the time.It took her two minutes and nine seconds to run here, and nearly two minutes to save Tianyang and talk to Lanny.And after Tianyang was attacked, she climbed from her room to her own room, and the time would definitely not exceed 2 minutes. It was a miracle that she could last for 2 minutes with that kind of bleeding.In other words, she had to turn back the time at least 2 minutes before she could save Tianyang.

Just in case, Sharon decided to set the time back 10 minutes ago.

When she strode into the laboratory of the Institute of High Energy Physics, all the researchers on the night shift were doing research, and Academician Zheng Feng was not there.Her sudden intrusion startled everyone, and one of the male researchers hurried forward to stop her:

"Ms. Spencer, you can't come in like this."

"Where's the pocket watch? Give me the pocket watch!" Sharon shouted.

"You can't use a pocket watch without a license to experiment!"

"Give it to me!" Xue Lun was furious, grabbed the male researcher by the collar with her right hand, and lifted him up, "Listen to me, human life is at stake, and Princess Tianyang's life is at stake. Give me!"

"Come with me." The girl at the front desk of the Institute of High Energy Physics was also there, but she was the first to react. When she said this, she turned around and walked out.

Xue Lun let go of the male researcher, and his feet went limp and he collapsed to the ground.Sharon didn't have time to pay attention to him at all, and hurriedly followed him out.She followed the girl to a closed door. The girl opened the door and led her in. Then she entered the second door and entered a thick and airtight vault-like room, and the temperature in the room was quite high. Low.

She finally opened a large lockbox in the center of the room, took out the familiar black box from it, pressed her fingerprint, opened the black box, and finally took out the pocket watch to Sharon.

Sharon didn't have time to find out who this "receptionist" was, and he actually had the authority to open this black box.She opened the pocket watch straight away and set the minute hand back 12 minutes.Since getting the pocket watch was delayed for another 2 minutes, she had to extend the reversing time again as a last resort.

Time really began to go backwards, but this time it was completely different from the past.

Sharon was surprised to see that the surrounding scene was rapidly regressing, but she herself was not affected by the time regress. The "receptionist" girl closed the black box, put it back in the cabinet, and was about to exit the warehouse. Sharon immediately reacted and hurriedly followed out. She didn't know what happened, but now it seems that the compensator has become herself up.She became a time-reversal observer through and through.

Could it be that Tianyang has already...

No, no no no no, impossible!

Once again, she rushed out with big strides, out of the Institute of High Energy Physics, and desperately ran back to the guest house.During this process, everything around her was going backwards, the wind direction was reversed, and the condensed atmosphere squeezed her body like jelly.Her brain was about to explode, and waves of despair surrounded her.

Tianyang is not affected by time regression, she was fatally injured, can time regression save her?Both Lanny and Xuelun are betting that this time, God will open his eyes and let Tianyang return to the control of time, because even if he does nothing to wait for rescue, he will just watch her die, dead horse Be a living horse doctor.

You must live, you must live!Otherwise me, otherwise you want me to give you back your life!I don't want to be a murderer, I can't kill you!

When she ran back to the guest house out of breath and returned to the room out of breath, the time regression had long since ended, and 12 minutes had passed from the estimated 4 minutes.

Without even thinking about it, Xue Lun knocked on Tianyang's door immediately:

"Tianyang! Tianyang?!"

No one responded.

Sharon immediately unscrewed the doorknob, but unexpectedly the door was unlocked and opened.Xue Lun walked in quickly, but did not see Tian Yang's figure.She suddenly noticed the sound of splashing water, as if someone was pouring water in the inner bathroom.

She hurried to the door of the bathroom, pushed the door open very simply and went in.The bathroom door was not locked either. As soon as she entered, she saw Tianyang taking a shower in the transparent glass of the shower room.

"Ah! Why are you in here!" Facing Xue Lun's sudden intrusion, Tianyang panicked and turned sideways to cover his vitals, and shouted, "Get out!"

"I'm sorry!" Xue Lun was also shocked, she never thought that things would turn out like this.He quickly covered his eyes, backed out, and closed the door behind him.

Her heart was beating violently, Xue Lun was leaning against the wall next to the bathroom, and only now could she catch her breath. She felt a burning pain in her heart and lungs, and her whole body was sweating profusely.Is this what... compensation feels like?

What exactly is going on?Am I successful?Is Tianyang all right?With trembling hands, she took out her pocket watch, which showed 11:57:21, and a strange sense of unreality rose in Sharon's heart.It's just that she can't tell whether it was real before or it is real now.

Not long after, Tianyang came out wrapped in a bathrobe, she simply wiped her wet hair, the whole body was still emitting heat, her long hair was wet and loose, which added a bit of seductive charm to her.She opened the bathroom door, saw Sharon standing by the bathroom door, and asked involuntarily:

"What's the matter with you? Why did you come into my room suddenly? You also broke into my bathroom and wanted to peek at me taking a shower?" Her cheeks were flushed, and her condemning question was inexplicably cute.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Sharon apologized again.She didn't have the heart to accept Tianyang's jokes, she was in a mess right now.

Tianyang seemed to find that something was wrong with her, and asked again:

"What happened?"

"Didn't you notice anything unusual?" Sharon asked.

Tianyang frowned, looked at Xue Lun, and suddenly said:

"You... did you go back in time?"

Xue Lun looked at her in surprise, and said for a long while:

"you know?"

"Of course I know, otherwise why would we come to the Academy of Sciences to participate in the investigation and experiment?" Tianyang felt puzzled.

"Aren't you immune to time backwards now?" Sharon asked.

"Are you kidding me?" Tianyang laughed, "Aren't you the one who is not affected by time regression? I'm just an observer, and I will still be affected. What's going on, are you sleepy?"

Xue Lun froze on the spot, feeling cold hands and feet.
