The Wheel of Chronos

Near noon on January 1, Sharon left the London Regional Central Hospital, took the car of Igarambo who came to pick her up, and went to the "toy store" in the Whitechapel neighborhood to reinstall her robotic arm and digital prosthetic eye .

For the next two days, Xue Lun spent almost all of it in the toy store, never stepping out of the door of the toy store.In fact, Igarashi, Tony, and Clara often forget the time because of doing experiments, and stay in the toy store.There are five matching rooms in the toy store, and there is also a small kitchen to provide meals.The three of them share one room, and the other two rooms have been vacant for many years, and are now in use by Sharon.Her right arm and leg have been removed, and the digital prosthetic eye is only temporarily replaced with a spare one, whose clarity and function are far from those of the regular version.The new mechanical prosthesis is still under development, and I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while. Sharon can only contact Pistol from the outside world through her mobile phone, and through Pistol, she can inquire about the police's progress in finding Old Jack and Aunt Joan.

For the first time since she first learned of her disability, she felt powerless about her disability.She lost not only her eyes and hands and feet, but also her eternal freedom.Unless the broken limb regeneration technology is recovered, Sharon who relies on mechanical prosthetics will never be called a healthy person. Once the mechanical prosthetics fail, she will lose her freedom of movement.

In fact, Sharon has always longed for the regeneration of severed limbs technology to come out again. During the federal period, there was actually such a technology, but unfortunately it was completely banned because it involved illegal human experiments. It is said that the regeneration technology of severed limbs borrowed the genetic technology of Zerg and predators. May have unforeseen mutagenic effects on receptors.This has always been an immature technology, and it has never been reintroduced since the founding of the Empire.

In the past two days, she has also been deliberately avoiding contacting Tianyang, because she feels that it is time for her to sever this relationship based on a mirage.Even if she really wants to go back to six years ago, she still hopes to rely on her own strength instead of being shy and clinging to Tianyang.But deep down in her heart, she still understands a truth. In fact, her relationship with Tianyang cannot end here, because even if it is just because of the pocket watch on her body and her ability to turn back time, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen will never let her go.Maybe she won't deal with Her Royal Highness Princess of the Empire anymore, but what she absolutely can't get rid of is the control of the state machine.

Gwen, the former family doctor of the Spencer family, opened up new ideas for Sharon on the dilemma of transforming energy.Sharon really wanted to use the power of Igarambo to study the feasibility of the micro-electric patch to convert energy efficiently, but she had to explain a problem-why use the micro-electric patch to provide a large amount of energy to her body.In this way, Lanbo Igaru must be told the secret about time backwards. From Sharon's point of view, it seems that the time is not yet ripe.Although Igaranbo's rescue of her this time moved her deeply, and her trust in him further deepened, but time regression is a big secret involving her family and life after all. Although she didn't know how the enemy knew about it, she let her partner Knowing is not necessarily a good thing.

Having said that, how on earth did the enemy know the secret of time backwards?Could it be that she and Tianyang are not the only observers?Or maybe the Lemurians who practice spiritual power can perceive time backwards to some extent?Sharon became suspicious of this.

The news brought by Peister is not very optimistic. Until January 1, the police investigation of the whereabouts of Old Jack and Aunt Joan still has not made any progress. Unanimously point to the missing female college student Miranda Walker, but the clues are inexplicably broken.

Surveillance video shows that old Jack and Aunt Joan walked out of the main gate of Spencer's mansion, stood at the door and talked to Miranda Walker, and then a black van drove over from the west side of the road, and the car drove towards them. Approaching, the old Jack suddenly pulled Miranda and Aunt Joan into a gallop, running to the east, and the black van immediately chased after him, and the old Jack pulled Miranda and Aunt Joan to the end of the street, just in time A taxi, and immediately got into the car.The taxi drove them all the way, and finally got rid of the black van. In the end, the video of the taxi showed that they got off at King's Cross Station. Afterwards, in King's Cross Station, the police did not find their ticket purchase records, and never again. There was no surveillance video to capture their figures, and they just disappeared inexplicably.

The police also tried to search for the black van, but to no avail.The license plate of this car is a deck, and it seems to deliberately go around the monitored route, so its whereabouts are unknown, and it will take time to find it.

"I said Miss Earl, I have been tortured to death by you for the past two days. Don't you have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness? Why don't you look for her? She can get much more inside information than me." In the latest call, Pistor couldn't help complaining to Sharon.

Sharon was silent, and said after a while:

"Thank you for your hard work. If it is difficult, I will do it myself in the future."

"Hey! That's not what I meant. If you ask me for help, I will continue to help. I am also loyal and help people to the end." Pister hurriedly explained, "Also, if you have all the hands and feet installed, you can Tell me, my dad said he wants to meet you and have a meal."

"Really? I also wanted to thank Mr. Fox, and I will call you when the time comes." Sharon replied.

After hanging up the phone, Sharon stared at the lost and recovered Nokia mobile phone in her hand in a daze.Until the ring of the bracelet startled her, she didn't think much, and directly connected to the bracelet, unexpectedly, Tianyang's face jumped out on the other side.

"Xuelun, where are you? I want to see you." Tianyang seemed to be standing in a very windy place, his hair was fluttering in the wind as he spoke, his brows were furrowed, and he added, "I found something I want to tell you."

Sharon resisted the urge to hang up the phone. After hesitating for three seconds, she reported the address of the toy store, and said:

"Call me when you arrive."

"Okay! I'll be right there." Tianyang hung up excitedly.

Sharon looked at her missing right arm and right leg, stared at the empty space in a daze, and slowly thought about a question: When I see her later, how should I open my mouth?But no matter what, it's better not to put on a tone of blame. It wasn't her fault in the first place, so don't blame her.The enemy's instigation, if credulous, is stupid.It's too early to say anything before the matter is fully investigated.

It's just that she can no longer allow herself to rely on her at will.

Two hours later, when Igarashi was installing the newly developed mechanical prosthetic right leg part on Sharon, a new visitor came to the toy store.The visitor, led by Clara, shouted loudly as soon as he entered:

"Sharon, I've found it, I've found the whereabouts of that Lemurian woman!" The next sentence reached her throat, and she suddenly stopped, because she seemed to suddenly realize that people here might be right. Some things are not clear, like going backwards in time.

Immediately afterwards, Tianyang's tall figure appeared in front of the glass door of the laboratory where Sharon was.I haven't seen her for two days. She looks dusty, but she is still in good spirits.The clothes on her body looked like an ordinary climber, and the big backpack on the back was stuffed with something, which was bulging.

"Xue Lun...how is your body?" Tian Yang frowned, because this was the first time she had seen the installation process of the mechanical prosthesis, the mechanical prosthetic that had not been covered with artificial skin, shone with a cold metal light, matching Xue Lun's white and tender body The left arm and left leg form a stark contrast.

"Very good. I still need to get used to the new hands and feet, but the effect should be better than before." Sharon replied calmly.

Just at this moment, Igarashi completed the installation of his right leg, got up and bowed to Tianyang, and then said to Sharon:

"Get up and move around."

Sharon did as she said, the new mechanical prosthetics brought a smoother sense of manipulation, the material was lighter than before, and she could feel the powerful explosive power contained in it.Sharon walked back and forth, trying to squat, run, jump, etc. Igaranbo looked at the data, and finally said with a smile:

"It seems that the one-time upgrade was successful. This time the nerve connection is much smoother than before, which is unexpected. Earl, you are the person with the smoothest mental connection among the many people who use mechanical prostheses I have seen. This time Faster than ever, it's amazing."

Sharon thought, it might be because of something wrong with my brain.

Tianyang, who was waiting by the side, kept staring at Sharon until Sharon turned back to look at her. She made a look and motioned for Sharon to talk alone. Sharon nodded and led her to her room.Her right arm has not been fitted yet, and the sleeves are hanging empty, Tianyang is not used to it.

"Princess, I also have something to say to you." As soon as she entered the door, Sharon spoke first, "Six years ago at Christmas, my father and stepmother died in Donghai Region. The accident investigation report told me that they The private plane he was traveling in crashed due to a mechanical failure."

While speaking, she sat on the edge of her bed, lowered her head and did not look at Tianyang.If she looked at it, she would find that Tianyang's fists were clenched tightly.

"My former family doctor Gwen kidnapped me two days ago, because she learned from Lemuria spies that I have the ability to go back in time, and she hoped that I could go back in time and go back to six years ago to help her Kill someone so her daughter can be saved and my parents can be saved because her daughter was on my parents' private jet.

The one she's going to kill is you, princess.Because according to her, the Goddess of War you were driving deviated from the test route at five times the speed of sound that day, crossed Donghai Prefecture, and went to the first island chain to rescue and meet the enemy.The crossing flight path happened to cross the route of my parents' private jet, and the two planes passed by. My parents' private jet was affected by the sonic boom and strong air flow caused by the high-speed flight of the Goddess of War, and it crashed. "

Tian Yang's complexion was already pale.

"What I want to know is, do you know about this matter? Is it really as Gwen said?" Sharon looked at Tianyang firmly, but when she saw the expression she couldn't hide, her heart sank quickly go down.

A few seconds later, Tianyang's throat moved, as if swallowing his saliva, before he spoke with difficulty:

"It is true. I did drive the Goddess of War through the sky over Donghai Prefecture at five times the speed of sound. When it reached five times the speed of sound, the airborne radar failed, and the intercom device also failed. I was unable to perceive the surrounding airspace. , That sailing was illegal and very dangerous, so the five times the speed of sound of the Goddess of War was banned. Afterwards, I repeatedly checked with the military to see if there was a secondary accident, and the military responded that there was no, but...you I know what happened to my parents. Although my mother and mother have always emphasized that the accident has nothing to do with me, but over the years, I still... can't let it go. I have investigated it privately, but nothing has been found out. It left a thorn in my heart."

"Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Empress have been paying close attention to me since then." Xue Lun smiled wryly and said suddenly.

Tianyang was speechless, but felt like a heavy stone in his heart, and his hands and feet were cold.She wanted to explain something, but felt that saying anything was superfluous.Yeah, if it wasn't true, why would her mother and mother pay so much attention to a dropout from a military academy?Was it because her father had once been the Minister of Finance of the Empire?Is it because their Spencer family is so rich?neither.So, is it because you care about her talent?It is undeniable that Sharon is an excellent military talent, but although there are not many military talents better than her, it cannot be said that there is no such thing.Currently, Xue Lun is by no means the best reserve general in the empire. It can only be said that she has potential in the future, but more depends on her character.

Don't mothers pay her attention for other reasons?There is no effect without a cause in this world, and there is no next second missing the last second.In the dimension we live in, time is a cyclical labyrinth in which everything is locked and cannot escape.

On Christmas Eve last year, my mother sent me to talk to her. At that time, Tianyang was actually very disturbed in his heart.She put on airs that night and said a lot of high-sounding words to Sharon. In fact, most of those words were to convince herself.The righteousness of the family and country seems to be such an honor, and it has been deeply imprinted in her soul since she was a child, but the shake and contradiction she felt at that moment was a huge shock from the depths of cognition.

She is very concerned about the existence of Sharon, and there is a deeper psychological motivation.She wanted to reconfirm what kind of person Sharon was, she had better be selfish, cowardly, egoist, so she seemed to get some strange comfort.The more she saw her running around for her family, the more Tianyang wanted to help, and even dedicated herself to it.This may be a subtle atonement psychology.

Then in such a twisted and repeated contact process, she developed a weird possessive desire for her, which she thought was a kind of love, but now it seems that it is not.This is the pity effect produced by the psychology of atonement. Pity and self-blame cannot be called love. The darkness hidden deep in Tianyang's heart is finally exposed to the sun on this day.

She is Chi Yang, but Chi Yang also has dark shadows after all.
