The Wheel of Chronos

Sharon has already experienced the cruelty of going back in time and jumping the world line, and has already deeply realized how arrogant and unrealistic it is to try to change the past.In her opinion, she can only choose one of abandoning her lover's parents, or abandoning Tianyang. The two are absolutely opposite, and there is no way to have both.

However, Eve told her that there is a law of both, which allows her to keep both at the same time.To Sharon, this was like a ray of sunshine in the darkness of despair.She desperately tried to catch this ray of sunlight, and couldn't help being excited.

Probably shocked by Sharon's sudden strong emotions, Eve felt guilty for some reason.She waved her hand and emphasized again:

"It's really just a tiny, almost impossible approach. Don't get your hopes up."

"It's okay, just tell me, I know it well." Xue Lun said.

Eve swallowed her saliva and said:

"This method, according to the future you, you have actually tried several times, but all failed. After a long time, you have carefully studied, thought and simulated to formulate such a plan. The plan The key word is two words - deceit."

"cheat?"

"Yes, you have to deceive the world and let the world think that it has completed its closure. In this plan, there are two options, either to deceive the world that your relatives and lovers are dead, so that Tianyang can be kept alive. Or, it is to deceive the world that Tianyang is dead, so that your relatives and lovers can be kept alive. Let me briefly talk about the differences and difficulties of these two options.

If you choose the former, you have to deceive the world, let the world think that your parents really suffered a plane crash and were swallowed up by the time-space rift, and at the same time, you must let the world think that you have been tracked by the backlash gene of time and space, which made you half disabled and Aunt Josephine passed away .How difficult is it to create this series of illusions?If the full level is tenth level, then it is tenth level full level.This is almost an impossible task, and the possibility is so small that it is basically negligible.

And if you choose the latter, it will be relatively easy.But there are also great difficulties. First of all, how to save the princess in the case of deceiving the world that the princess is dead?Just the solution to this problem will cost you more than ten years of research in the future.In the end, you have only one conclusion and result, which is the time travel machine.This machine is an absolutely indispensable tool. What you have to do is to use this machine to go back to the time point before Princess Tianyang's accident, and create the illusion that she died in a plane crash, so as to deceive yourself at that time. "

"I... deceived myself?"

"That's right, to deceive the world is to deceive yourself. Because you are the only observer of the world line, the world exists because of your observation. And you have never seen Princess Tianyang's body with your own eyes, and you have personally confirmed her death. You just learned that Princess Tianyang’s fighter plane crashed into a mountain and crashed from news newspapers and others. You subconsciously think that it is absolutely impossible for Princess Tianyang to survive the plane crashed into a mountain. But if she survives, then That is, if the result is changed without changing the process, the world line will be closed and all the dead will still survive, so the world line will jump again. This time, it is possible to enter a brand new, A world where both can be preserved. That is an unknown shore that no one has ever reached. In the future, you have also admitted that there are actually risks in this, because you cannot predict whether that world line will really have the best of both worlds. But at least, there are good and bad, and it’s worth a gamble. All you have to do is to help Princess Tianyang escape from the Goddess of War before it crashes, and the mission will be considered complete.”

Sharon's heart was surging, she did see hope.But after thinking calmly, she also saw many problems.First she pointed out:

"According to what you said, the principle of the time travel machine is to decompose people into particles, and launch them into the wormhole at super-light speed to return to the past. After that, I, the world line observer, must capture it before it can be recondensed into a human body and complete the shuttle. .And if I want to travel back, is this the same thing? If so, can I capture myself? It stands to reason that the past me can’t capture the future me anyway. And, if the past I and the current me appeared at the same time at the same time, isn't that a paradox?"

Eve explained: "Indeed, the past you and the present you appear at the same point in time, which is undoubtedly a paradox. But because of the space-time folding caused by the wormhole effect, this can be allowed to happen in a short-term and small-scale However, your time travel is fundamentally different from mine. After you disintegrate into particles and are fired back, you are not completely uncontrollable like me, and completely lost consciousness during the process. Because your world line As an observer, you can still maintain consciousness while disintegrating, and you can control the time and place where you appear, and you can reduce the error of time travel to infinitesimal. In short, every time travel of mine is equivalent to a death And rebirth, the last step can only be completed with your strength. And you are the one who truly controls the time travel, and you don’t need anyone’s help.”

"Then, do you have a time travel machine? I see that you are empty-handed. In this era, there seems to be no time travel machine." Sharon asked doubtfully.

Eve smiled. She took out a three-centimeter-square plastic medicine box from her pocket, opened the lid, and took out a capsule-like metal cylindrical particle the size of a small fingernail, saying:

"This is it, a small one can send you back to the past. Press it, and you will be surrounded by a disintegration force field, disintegrated into particles and emitted. There is a button here, press it to call up the holographic setting panel, Set the time and place of the shuttle target, and then press it to enter the countdown launch state, and your blood sample will be collected to lock your genes. After that, even if you throw this thing out, you can escape thousands of miles away , you can’t escape time travel, unless you can move faster than the speed of light, maybe you can escape. Immediately disassemble and launch after the countdown is over, the operation of the machine is simple and fast, and a fool can quickly learn it.” She was quite proud, and then carefully put the Put it back into the particle shuttle machine, close the lid and put it back in the pocket, "This thing is too precious, I took away only two-thirds, that is, six, and the remaining one-third stayed in the future. Moreover, it Use it once less, and it won't reappear because of time regression."

"It seems that the future me really trusts you and has high hopes for you." Sharon couldn't help but smiled wryly, six, does this mean that she only has six chances?

"Yes, Aunt Sharon, I am your adopted daughter. I have witnessed your hardships and your determination for so many years. It is my only wish to help you reach the other side." Eve said high.

"Even if you can never go back to the future?"

"Yes, I went back to the past to save the future, and I will do my best to do my duty as a soldier."

"In some respects, you really look like her..."

Eve laughed, she knew that Sharon was talking about Tianyang.

"Aunt Sharon, in fact, you are really like her. You have inherited her legacy and have been sparing no effort to save the empire in your own way."

Sharon shook her head, these words sounded very grand to her ears.

"Is there anything special about you? To be chosen to go back to the past to perform this kind of mission, you must be extraordinary." She changed the subject.

"The name you gave me is Eve. I have no surname and no family. I am the first child to be born naturally from the mother's body after human beings lose their natural fertility. I am also the only one. After my existence is recognized by people in the future, Then I went to the opposite of everyone. They thought I was special and separated me from my mother. If you hadn’t saved me later, I would probably have died in the institute like my mother. I was only two years old when I left the institute. I don't remember anything, you told me later.

There is something special about me, that I can withstand the shock of my body disintegrating into particles and reassembling intact.Almost all artificially bred human brains, or souls, except me, are unbearable.Therefore, this task of going back to the past, apart from you, only I can complete it.And obviously, you can't go back in time to see yourself, otherwise it will create a paradox, which will cause the world line to collapse directly and fall into chaos.So, off I go. Eve said with a smile. She looked happy and proud, without any signs of shrinking, fear or disgust. She obviously wanted to do this from the bottom of her heart.

Do naturally born children have this special ability?Or is it simply that Miranda and Claude's daughter has such qualities.After careful consideration, Sharon felt that the latter might be more in line with her cognition.

"The last thing I must emphasize is that you only have six chances. If you fail, I will definitely show up again and give you the next shuttle machine. There are only six in total. Please cherish it. If you use all six chances If you do everything, then you will be completely powerless. Even if it is just to help Princess Tianyang get out of the cockpit, there are infinite variables. I have to be honest, this is a task with a probability of failure close to 100%. I hope you can do it early. Prepare."

"I understand." Sharon said softly, "Please give me some time to think about it."

Mu Li, who had been silently listening to their conversation, glanced at Xue Lun at this moment, and finally spoke. She said to Xue Lun:

"Sharon, come with me. Eve, please forgive us for a moment."

"Please." Eve said.

Xue Lun got up, followed Mu Li out of the gazebo, and stepped onto the bluestone brick path in the atrium.They walked slowly around the waist-high, neatly manicured bushes, and Xue Lun followed His Majesty's footsteps, still thinking about Eve's words just now.What would happen if she did manage to reach that ideal world?Does the present self still exist?It should not exist, so where will my consciousness go now, will it disappear completely?It still replaces Sharon's body in that beautiful world line and continues to observe this world.It might be the latter, because the current consciousness of Sharon as an observer cannot disappear. If it disappears, the world will cease to exist, and they will never be able to reach that ideal country.

While she was thinking, His Majesty the Emperor took out a slightly yellowed photo from his pocket and handed it to Xue Lun.Sharon came back to her senses, took a look, and saw a very cute little girl holding an Air Force pilot's helmet and smiling brightly at the camera.A pair of big bright eyes are bent into crescent moons, and the delicate lying silkworms set off her red apple-like face, showing unparalleled innocence and purity.She has long hair in a shawl and a tailor-made uniform for a small pilot, but the helmet that is disproportionate to her body should not belong to her.

"Princess..." Sharon softly called the little girl in the photo.She could see the shadow of the grown-up person from the little girl's face, sunny and unrestrained.

"This is a photo she took when she was 6 years old when she followed her mother to inspect the Central No. [-] Air Force Flight Base. It was her mother who took the photo. At that time, she snatched an uncle's pilot's helmet and insisted on wearing it on her head. It was too big and fell off, she hugged the helmet and smiled foolishly, and her mother rushed to take a picture." His Majesty's tone was very calm.

"Hmm..." The tip of Sharon's nose had already started to turn sour.

"Her mother knew about her right away. She couldn't bear it and passed out, and she is still in the hospital. If I didn't want to see you, I should be with her mother while dealing with her. Funeral. This blow was too heavy for her mother, and she couldn't bear it. Tianyang occupies too important a place in her heart. This child has always been so good, and has never let us down. In order to train her , It also took too much painstaking effort." His Majesty's speech speed became slower and slower, and Xue Lun could hear the faint choking sound in her voice.

"I don't know if you can go back to the past to save her. I always have the worst assumptions about the future and prepare for it. She is the princess of the empire, and you have not yet been appointed as a soldier of the empire. I have not There is a way to give you an order, requiring you to dedicate yourself to the country and save the princess of the empire. Besides, even if you are a soldier, it is not your responsibility to save the world. Whether you do this is up to you, and you are the master. You If you don’t want to go back, I won’t blame you, I will take all the responsibilities myself, and I will fight for the future of the empire by myself, this is my responsibility as the emperor.”

"Your Majesty..." Xue Lun tried to say something, but couldn't.

"However, after all, I am a human being, and I also have selfish intentions. As the emperor, I am also a mother. Tianyang is the only daughter of me and Lan Ni...we used to think...we thought she could...we never I thought she would leave before us..." Mu Li stopped, her lips were trembling, her eyes were red, and tears flowed down her face.The moment Xue Lun saw His Majesty's tears, she was seized by a strong sense of sadness, and she also lowered her head and shed tears.

His Majesty, the strongest emperor in the world, cried...

"I can't see the future, and I can't go back to the past. I'm in the present moment. I only know that my daughter is gone. I and Lanni send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. As the emperor, I don't ask you, I won't go Please anyone. But as a mother, I beg you...save her, you save her..." As she spoke, her knees bent and she was about to kneel to Sharon.Xue Lun held her arm in horror to prevent her from kneeling down, but the emperor's kneeling was heavy, and she couldn't hold it up for a while.She had no choice but to step forward, hugged the emperor suddenly, and held her body to prevent her from kneeling down.

"Your Majesty! Don't do this."

"You save her..." Mu Li's hot tears flowed down Xue Lun's shoulders.

"Even if you don't ask me, I will try to save her. Your Majesty, I may be a selfish person, but Tianyang is never within the scope of my selfishness."
