The Wheel of Chronos

"Sister..." Josephine was frightened again when she saw the furious Sharon.

Xue Lun took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, let's turn around and go another way." Then, she opened her wristband and began to search the map of the vicinity, ten kilometers behind them, that is, they just passed by Somewhere in the city, there is a fork in the airport expressway and a country road. Taking this road can bypass the accident site and enter the city, but it will take twice as long.

Without any hesitation, Sharon immediately turned the car around and drove back.This time she almost stepped on the accelerator and galloped on the winding mountain road. Josephine's face was pale, and she even grabbed the handle above her head to stabilize her body.She had never taken such an express train before, and she was already dizzy and nauseous.But she gritted her teeth and endured, trying not to cause trouble to her sister.

After driving to ten kilometers, Sharon really saw a gate going down, she drove down, and soon, the car drove onto a rural cement road that was not very smooth.This cement road probably leads to the nearby factory area, because it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has been potholed and bumpy.She was used to seeing smooth and spacious roads in big cities, and when Josephine came to such a remote place, it opened her eyes.The buildings near here are all low reinforced concrete buildings, and it can be seen that they are all factories.And most of them are chemical plants, with tall chimneys and iron tanks standing tall. On the walls of the factories along the street, some people use spray paint cans to scribble many messy pictures. Someone's name, and some even simply graffitied some unsightly swear words in Chinese and English before the catastrophe.

A particularly large chimney appeared in the distance, standing like a giant at the far end of the road, as if welcoming the arrival of Sharon and Josephine.The chimney was still working, belching thick smoke.Looking at this scene, Xue Lun's voice inexplicably echoed in her mind, "Xue Lun, have you heard the term steampunk?" She suddenly had a sore nose, her eyes were clouded by tears, her jaw trembled involuntarily, and she held the steam punk. The hands on the steering wheel slowly clenched.

Tianyang, I really don't know what to do...

The current Sharon is just mechanically completing the goals she has set for herself.She kept hypnotizing herself, asking herself to find her parents, prevent them from getting on the plane, and prevent her father from launching the space-time blast.However, the person who suddenly appeared at the airport still lingered in her mind.In a certain corner of her heart, there is a voice that keeps repeating, you can't change the facts, otherwise what should Tianyang do?she will disappear.From returning to the present, Xue Lun has been paralyzing herself with one thought: Tianyang will not disappear, even if I change the reality, Tianyang still has a certain chance to exist, how can I not take a gamble?Could it be that I have come back from all the hardships and can do nothing but watch the tragic history repeat itself?

However, why would there be a person standing in front of her and warning her so firmly: You can't change the past you have experienced, otherwise Tianyang will disappear.The woman who appeared at the airport dealt a fatal blow to Sharon, causing her spirit to almost collapse.

Now she is already numbly continuing to step on the accelerator and steer the steering wheel. Even though she is extremely fearful and anxious, she still has to try to walk this road.She couldn't do nothing, watch history repeat itself, and try nothing to fix it.

Josephine stared at her sister's side face, and she could feel her sister's strong emotional fluctuations.The girl pondered for a long time, and finally decided to ask:

"Sister, do you know Her Highness Princess Tianyang?"

Xue Lun was startled when she heard this, she quickly turned her head to look at Josephine, and said:

"Why do you ask this question?"

"The woman at the airport said that Her Royal Highness Princess Tianyang must exist. Why did she say such things to you?"

Xue Lun bit her lip, sighed after a while, and replied: "If you believe that my sister can predict the future, then my sister does know Princess Tianyang. In my predictive dream, we were even partners fighting side by side."

Tianyang, I can't go back to the b world line again, so everything that happened there can only be a dream to me.

The world line that Xue Lun is in now should be named b-1Past6years (hereinafter referred to as b-1P6) world line, which has not yet undergone a sharp jump, and is only a world line with a slight deviation from the b world line, and it is still in the past six years forward.

"Then sister, in your dream, do you have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Well, if you have to say good or bad, it's probably good."

"Sister, do you like her?"

"Eh?"

"Do you like her?" Josephine repeated.

"Sister... I really like her, she is a great fighting partner." Sharon replied hesitantly.

A light that seemed to be a wry smile but not a wry smile flashed in Josephine's eyes, but she immediately lowered her head and stopped asking.

My sister is a person who can't lie, at least to herself, she really can't lie, Josephine thought.Although Josephine didn't know whether her sister really knew Her Highness the Princess, she confirmed that her sister really liked Princess Tianyang very much, and that kind of liking had reached the point where she cared so much that when the woman at the airport said After saying that Her Royal Highness Princess Tianyang must exist, the elder sister who had always been calm and planned in everything she did would shake into the current bewildered appearance.

The car was quiet for a while, until Sharon drove the car on the slightly better road into the city, Josephine didn't speak, and kept sleeping in the passenger seat.Sharon felt a little uneasy in her heart, she was really worried that Josephine had misunderstood.But why did Josephine get it wrong?Even if she misunderstood, would she be unhappy?Will you be jealous?Sharon really didn't know how to explain her inexplicable emotions. She knew that she liked Josephine, but whether Josephine also had such feelings for her, she was not sure.And Tianyang... She couldn't figure out what kind of role Tianyang was in her heart.But the only thing that is certain is that she really cares about Tianyang, she is very special in her heart.

The navigation finally reminded them that they had arrived at their destination - the No. 12 Guest House in Donghai Region.The time has come to nearly six o'clock in the afternoon of December 24th.Sharon parked the car in the parking lot of the guest house, and took out the large bag containing a large number of weapons from the trunk.This bag is heavy, if Sharon would be able to lift it with one hand six years later, but it is quite difficult for her to carry it now.

"Sister, do you want to help?" Josephine ran to Sharon's side in small steps and asked.

Seeing her cute appearance, Xue Lun couldn't help but feel relieved, and said with a smile:

"Then you and your sister carry it together."

The two grabbed the two straps of the large bag respectively and lifted them up together.Josephine didn't have much strength at all, she used both hands, her little face was swollen and flushed, and it took a lot of effort just to lift it up, let alone move it.The little girl didn't react at all, and her sister didn't use much force at all, she was the only one who was contributing.

"Ah! Sister, you're not using any force at all!" The little girl finally realized that the big bag couldn't hold it any longer and put it on the ground.

"Josie, why are you so cute?" Sharon couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.

"Damn it, don't mess with my hair." The little girl tried her best to protect her ponytail, but she couldn't bear to avoid Sharon's hand.

Sharon took a step sideways, stretched out her hand, and embraced her in her arms, and let out a long sigh whether it was happiness or sadness.Josephine was suddenly hugged by her, her heart beat faster, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

"Josie, sister... my sister will protect you, and you will be fine." Sharon's voice pierced Josephine's ears from the vibration of her chest. The tragic and courageous emotion of death and life.The girl's heart rose again. This was the third time my sister said this sentence today. Why did she always say "protect her well"? Could something happen to me?

Could it be... Will something happen to me?A chill suddenly shot up Josephine's spine, until she finally realized where Sharon's nervousness came from, and why she had to take herself into action.My sister must have predicted that something would happen to her, that's why she was so nervous.

The young girl became at a loss for a while, and the silence just now disappeared to nowhere.Of course she trusts her sister unconditionally, so this means that something will happen to her.The girl cherishes her life very much, or her future very much. She has many beautiful visions for the future. She wants to be a free writer, read more books, and spend the rest of her life with her sister. For half her life, she wanted to travel around the world, and she still had a lot of things to do. Of course, she definitely didn't want to die.Girls fear death, fear losing the future.

She clenched the clothes around her sister's waist, and her body trembled.Xue Lun felt the girl who was calm just now tremble suddenly, and couldn't help asking nervously:

"Josie? What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

"Sister, will I die?" The girl's trembling voice reached Sharon's ears.

This question, like a sharp knife with a barb, pierced into Sharon's heart in an instant, causing blood to drip from her heart, and she was in agony.She was speechless for a while, her eyes were already red.She didn't know how to answer the girl, but her momentary silence obviously meant an affirmative answer.She could only hug the girl tightly, as if this would stop her fear and trembling:

"No, you won't die," she replied firmly.

God, was it a mistake for me to come back?No one can understand Xue Lun's hesitation at this moment, only she bears it alone.She couldn't abandon her sister, and she definitely couldn't ignore Tianyang. Who would tell her what should she do?

She hugged her trembling younger sister in her arms, raised her head to keep her tears from falling, and looked at the guest house building in front of her at night, unable to make a decisive decision for a long time.When she stepped into this building and found her parents, it meant that she had given up on Tianyang; and if she took her sister away at this moment and let what should happen continue to happen, then she would have given up on her sister and her family.

What should she do, who will tell her what to do?She has no power to decide anyone's life or death, nor is she a hero who can sacrifice one person to save the whole world.She doesn't feel that the world needs her to save, she just wants to save the people she wants to save.

However, it was probably a tease from the gods, and someone really made a decision for her:

"Sharon? Josie? Why are you here?" A voice broke the swaying balance in Sharon's heart.

In the distant night, two figures slowly walked towards the parking lot from the direction of the main gate of the guest house.They were a man and a woman, the woman walked in front, and the man followed behind. The woman probably recognized Sharon and Josephine first, and walked two steps forward in a hurry.

That was Lilian and Newrent, they seemed to have just returned from a walk outside.

Xue Lun's mind went blank, she froze in place, unable to move, her hands and feet were numb, and she couldn't utter a single word.On the contrary, Josephine hurriedly wiped away her tears, broke free from Sharon's arms, and turned to look at her parents.

"Dad, Mom." The girl greeted obediently.

"What's going on? Why are you here?" Lilian asked again. She had already walked up to Josephine, and she could hold Josephine's hand in two or three steps.Nurente was still five or six steps behind her. The deep and introverted man still didn't speak. His handsome face with sharp edges and corners was hidden in the light and shadow, making it hard to see clearly.He was watching Sharon, and seemed to be guessing the intention of Sharon bringing his sister here.

At this moment, Sharon suddenly saw a red dot appear between Nurent's eyebrows, and that red dot came from a certain room in the guest house building.

There are snipers!

"Dad! Get down!" Sharon shouted hoarsely, and then rushed out like a cheetah, rushing towards Nurent.

It's too late, everything is too late.In that moment that seemed like eternity, Xue Lun saw the blood blooming on her father's head.

The author has something to say: You either love Tianyang or Josephine, but I love Sharon, and I love her only in the whole world.
