The Wheel of Chronos

Although Tianyang lingered happily in front of the "Goddess of War" and couldn't even feel the knife wound on her leg (in fact, the 24-hour healing technology is enough to make her move without hindrance), but she has actually been temporarily frozen by the Military Commission The piloting rights of the "Goddess of War" must be returned to the imperial capital, and will not be opened again until the military commission interview and other procedures are completed.This means that although they can appreciate the heroic appearance of the "Goddess of War" up close, they cannot drive it. The "Goddess of War" will be sent back to the central mech master control center on a transport plane for preparation and debugging, waiting for the next attack.

As for Sharon, there is nothing more worrying about her now than going back to Greater London.Since this morning, she has been trying to contact Uncle Jack and Aunt Joan, but for some reason, the phone numbers of the two have not been connected, and no one answers the phone at home. It can be called a coincidence once or twice, but Xue Lun almost every time He made a phone call every half an hour, and until now, 4 or 5 hours had passed, but no one answered, and an ominous premonition shrouded Xue Lun.

When Tian Yang reluctantly bid farewell to the "Goddess of War", Xue Lun reluctantly hung up the unanswered phone again.

"What's wrong?" Tianyang couldn't help asking when he saw her expression was different.

"I can't get through the phone at home, so I'm a little worried." Xue Lun said.

"Is Uncle Jack not answering the phone?"

"Well, he never does this." Sharon lowered her head.

"Let's go back right away, I'll go and say hello to the police station." Tian Yang said very simply.

Her Royal Highness acted resolutely, and immediately negotiated with the local police in Wisdom City. The police agreed that the subsequent investigation would be completed through online video calls, and there was no need for Tianyang and Xue Lun to remain in Wisdom City.Immediately, they took a car and rushed to the air force base airport 40 kilometers away from Wisdom City, where the special plane sent by His Majesty Emperor Muli was waiting for them, and they were ready to take off in advance.

About two hours later, their special plane landed at the new Heathrow Airport at the junction of the Central Region and the London Region.Xue Lun packed her simple luggage and rushed home.Tian Yang originally planned to go with her, but unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Queen actually appeared at the New Heathrow Airport, caught Tian Yang, and immediately dragged her to report to the Military Commission.Tianyang had no choice but to follow his mother.

When Xuelun parted from her, Tianyang kept repeating a sentence: "I will definitely find you as soon as possible, you wait for me, you must wait for me." This sentence became more and more distant as she left. Far away, it became louder and more soul-stirring.Her Highness's face turned blue, and the members of the secret service team responsible for protecting Her Highness were holding back their laughter, while Xue Lun's face was expressionless, her heart twitched, her gaze kept falling, hoping to find a crack in the ground and get in immediately.This guy is really embarrassing, does he have the consciousness of being an imperial princess?Thanks to the place where they separated was the VIP channel of the airport, there was no one else around.Otherwise, she must find something to stop her mouth.

Leaving Tianyang behind, Xue Lun hurriedly got on the fast maglev train to the city. In the car, she continued to try to contact Old Jack and Aunt Joan, but still failed.She suddenly thought that there was another person, so she immediately called.

The call got through, and after about three seconds, it was connected, and Pister's face appeared on the holographic screen of the bracelet. She seemed to have just woken up, and she seemed very unhappy to be woken up at this moment.But after seeing Sharon, she became much more sober:

"My lord? You haven't contacted me for several days. Why, what's the matter with me?"

"Have you seen my housekeeper, Old Jack, these two days?"

"No, I've been busy opening a new store for the past two days. Besides, the police always came to bother me about the bar explosion. That's great." Pisces said.

"I haven't been able to contact him, and I don't know what happened."

"Ah, why don't I take a look for you first?" Pister said.

"Don't bother you, I'm on the maglev from the airport to the city now, and I'll be there soon." Sharon said, "However, please find someone to send me some weapons, and the bag will be left in the gatepost of my courtyard in the express box."

"Did you use our Fox House as an arsenal, Mr. Earl..." Pistre couldn't help but complain about her, "Well, whoever told me to take money from someone, don't worry, it will be delivered on time." After that, she Just hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Xue Lun took a taxi and hurried back to the door of her old house. After the taxi drove away, she didn't rush in. She stood at the door and lingered for a while, looking around, and saw a black car in the distance. The person sitting there seems to have been observing here, thinking that it must be Pistor's person.

Then she turned around and came to the doorpost, opened the express box, and there was indeed a black sports bag inside, which was heavy.Unzipping the zipper, I saw a fully loaded Browning M1911, five spare magazines, one silencer microcharger and three spare microcharger magazines, in addition to two shock bombs, a military thorn, and equipment bring.Miss Pistol was not stingy at all.

Xue Lun quietly opened the front door of her house with her bag in hand, stepped in, then hid in the dense courtyard and woods beside her, and equipped her upper body with all the weapons.Then quietly sneaked into the house.

Although according to the time of the b world line, she had only been away from home for a few days, but psychologically, Xue Lun felt as if a month had passed.She went back in time many times, jumped the world line, experienced various dangers, gritted her teeth and struggled for a distant goal, and her inner fatigue was increasing day by day.She didn't know how long she would have to fight until she could breathe a sigh of relief and really take a rest.And that distant goal always seemed so unattainable that even if she imagined it now, she would feel a wave of despair sweeping over her.

Defeat the continent of Lemuria, seize the energy of the continent of Lemuria, and go back to six years ago?This plan actually sounds like a fantasy, not like "this is a great plan" as His Majesty said.Greatness is indeed greatness, and greatness is greatness in the grandiose emptiness and difficulty of realizing this plan.Because that is the continent of Lemuria, the continent of Lemuria that the entire empire's army and people can only barely resist.He had just returned from wandering through space cracks, and the interior was barren, so he didn't use his full strength. He just fought casually and tied with us, then ignored humans, and went to camp in the sea to obtain resources.Today, many years after Lemuria took root in the sea, can humans really draw with Lemuria as they did in the Three Year War?

Sharon was pessimistic.

But it is far from enough to just draw a tie. Only by winning can Sharon's goal be achieved, and only then can it be possible to go back to six years ago.It's not that she doesn't know how difficult this goal is to achieve, and it's not that she doesn't know that the reason why Tianyang proposed this plan is to kidnap and use herself to a large extent, even though she keeps saying that she likes herself and wants to pursue herself , but Sharon's mind is very clear, and her eyes are still sharp.Maybe Tianyang really has some affection for her, but the princess of the empire will always love her country the most.

But Sharon still chose to join this plan, because she had no extra options.In this game, what Tianyang gambled was whether Xue Lun's obsession with that disaster was so deep that it could push her to accomplish anything. This was the biggest bargaining chip in Tianyang's hands.And Xue Lun didn't have any chips in her hands, so she was doomed to lose to her from the very beginning.

Because her staggering life has come to this day, the obsession to reverse the tragedy of the year has become the only driving force for her to live.Unless she gave up everything, her life, it was bound to go on.She is like a clockwork robot, and the ghosts of relatives have been following her, merging into one big hand to tighten her clockwork all the time, urging her to move forward.

Moving forward, Sharon quietly sneaked under the window on the east side of the main building with her weapon on her back, and cautiously peeked inside the window. There was a thin layer of ash on the window, and there were plaques left after the rain washed and dried up.

Sharon raised her wristband and looked at the weather in the past few days. There was a light rain three nights ago.

The house hadn't been cleaned in maybe three days, she judged.Every time it rains, Uncle Jack will definitely clean the windows, especially if Aunt Joan is around. She has obsessive-compulsive disorder of tidiness and must keep the windows of the mansion bright and clean in order to feel comfortable.The windows have not been wiped for three days, which means that no one has been in the house for three days.

Sharon left the Greater London area at noon on December 12th. Today is January 29rd. In fact, less than 1 days have passed.In other words, not long after Sharon left, Uncle Jack and Aunt Joan might have had an accident.But these days she was negligent, and because too many things disturbed her mind, she completely forgot to contact her family.

She found the side door of the mansion, pressed the fingerprint on the side door, and walked in.You don’t need to change your shoes when you enter a traditional English house, and the first floor of the Spencer’s house is covered with smooth marble.In the past, the marble floor was always swept and polished, but now it is covered with a thin layer of dust.She is looking for footprints, but has not yet found anything.

She walked along the side door passage all the way to the depths of the mansion, and every room she passed, she would quietly open the door and go in to investigate.She stayed in the study for a particularly long time. She specifically checked her holographic computer and Old Jack's laptop in the study. The information was intact and the computer was not damaged. At that time, Old Jack once visited the study room and put the books and laptop computer in his bag in the study room. After staying here for a while, he went out, and no one came in after that.

The surveillance cameras in other mansions did not capture any suspicious images.There is only one thing worth noting. On the afternoon of December 12, just before old Jack went home, Sharon saw Aunt Joan open the front door and come in.She looks as usual, she just turned 29 because of proper maintenance, she looks like she is in her early 30s, her long hair is scrupulously coiled, and she wears glasses with a serious face, very similar to the teacher that many people will meet when they were students.But she is not a teacher, but a professional housekeeper, extremely proficient in housekeeping. Thirty years ago, she had just finished her compulsory military service, and was introduced to Spencer's house as a maid, and she worked there for 30 years.For this family and this old house, she devoted so much effort that she remained unmarried all her life and regarded Sharon and Josephine as her own children.

Surveillance video shows that after entering the door, Aunt Qiong went back to her room to put down her luggage as usual, and then started cleaning.She passed by Sharon's room and Old Jack's room. She collected the clothes they hadn't cleaned in time, and then took them to the laundry room for cleaning. Then she took a feather duster and a rag and started cleaning the hall on the first floor.

The hall was almost cleaned, and when she just took out the mop to mop the floor, the old Jack came back with his luggage, and it was already evening.Old Jack said a few words to Aunt Joan at the door, then went to the study to put the computer, and then went back to his own room to pack his clothes and luggage.About 5 minutes later, Aunt Joan, who was cleaning the hall, seemed to hear the doorbell, walked to the intercom screen by the door, and talked to the person who rang the doorbell outside.The surveillance footage was rather blurry, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but the visitor should not be a regular visitor, and it could be seen that Aunt Qiong seemed a little hesitant.

At this time, Old Jack came down from the stairs. When he heard someone ringing the doorbell, he also came to the hall. Aunt Joan said a few words to him, and Old Jack opened the door and walked out. After following them out, the mop in his hand leaned against the edge of the hallway.

Then, they never came back.

Sharon clenched her fists, opened the study door and walked out.This time, she quickened her pace and quickly came to the hall, and she really saw that the mop left by Aunt Qiong was still leaning quietly in place, without moving, and the mop was already hardened.

Sharon turned on the intercom screen and called up the intercom record that evening. The screen flashed, and an unexpected face appeared.

"Miranda Walker?" Sharon frowned.

Miranda on the intercom screen looked completely different from before. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were blue, and she looked extremely haggard.The video on the intercom screen recorded her words. She hoped that Aunt Qiong could go out and meet her at the gate of the house, saying that she had something important to hand over to Sharon.Aunt Qiong asked her to enter the house to talk, but the other party refused to come in, saying that it was too late and she was leaving soon.Then the intercom died, and old Jack and Aunt Joan went out to see her.

Sharon planned to go back to the study immediately, turn on the computer, and pull out the surveillance video on the road outside the courtyard gate to see what happened.But as soon as she turned around, she suddenly froze in place.A figure in a white skirt appeared on the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor on the left from the main hall, and flashed past.But Xue Lun could see the profile of that figure clearly. At that moment, the hairs all over her body stood on end. For the first time in her life, she felt a creepy sense of fear.

"Josephine!" she cried out, in a distorted voice.Immediately, he picked up his weapon and ran up to the second floor in big strides, chasing that figure.
