When Chen Qing realized these contents, he also understood some of the rules in this back room.
When he sets foot on the earth building, it is the past. And every time I leave the earth building, I come to the present in the past.
And every time we set out towards a new earth building, we are returning to the "now" step by step.
That is to say, we are back to the back room when we first entered the earth building.
And since the three tips are mutually consistent, it can be deduced that when the content written on the document is "false" or "non-existent", the content on the document will become reality.
But when the reality of what is happening in the "current Tulou" is actually written on the document, nothing will happen. However, they all recorded the situation inside the tulou when they entered the tulou for the first and second time. Therefore, the above investigators all met the rules of recording history on documents and successfully left, or entered. An earth building is the qualification to enter the future.
Because they are in the past tense, what they record will happen in the future. When they record the past in the present, everything has already happened.
That's the first rule: history must be recorded as it happened.
After Chen Qing discovered this rule, he began to test nodes for future changes. So he wrote down the record and made donuts appear in the past.
But after he recorded the content, he discovered that the past "at that time" had not changed. In other words, the irreversibility of time still holds true. It also matches the words in the prompt.
The future can only be modified between the present and the past. But the future cannot modify the traces left by the past.
This is the second rule: time in the past cannot be affected by the future, but time in the past can affect the future.
After realizing this, Chen Qing began to formulate a plan.
In this earth building, as long as you are buried under this yellow sand, you can constantly modify the future to achieve your goals.
But if he wants to be able to influence the future in the past, he must have a pair of eyes to know what will happen in the future.
So, he wrote a line of records.
"The dead will return to the place where they were born."
After writing this line of content, Chen Qing and Jiang Wan in Huangshali will naturally not be affected. However, when they used Yin Yang Lixiao to cut themselves into two people, when Jiang Wan lost all his memory and Personality, after lying on the bed and being restrained by ropes.
After Chen Qing left "killing the life that appeared in front of him" in his own body and separated all remaining memories and personalities, the two of them had eyes to observe the future.
After their consciousness was transferred to the avatar, the meaning of separation between the two went to the second earth building and the third earth building.
The separated body was transformed by Chen Qing's use of a human skin mask, which further aroused the conflict between the Divine Grace Sect and the Foundation.
After they completed the journey and died, they returned to the first earth building.
After they arrived at the place where they were born, Chen Qing and Jiang Wan took back their memories of the future. And based on the future situation, write down content on paper that can change the situation of the war.
"Let everything I touch return to the beginning."
And this is related to the most important rule in this back room.
The past cannot be changed, but the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers when Chen Qing first entered is now, that is the present and reality.
All the disasters experienced in these earth buildings are what should have happened, and they should have been changed into what they were by history.
This is the past, an established fact that has already happened. No one needs to change the past.
The past will naturally evolve into what it is now. Anyone who tries to describe the past or change the past will not be recognized by history.
It is also because of this rule that Chen Qing and Jiang Wan became the only two people who satisfied the three rules in the back room, allowing them to embark on the road to the future and the road to what they wanted.
Went to the level 2 room in the back room here.
After the two walked side by side for about ten minutes, in front of Chen Qing and Jiang Wan, a huge arch stood on both sides of the path. After passing through the arch, they arrived at the entrance of a small mountain-style bunker.
The two of them walked closer and saw a string of unknown numbers written in ink on the bunker's entrance.
SBL-1701.
The door of the bunker is already full of rust, and the cast iron door has become significantly thinner in some places.
He touched the door, but the mark on the door was extremely new. The line of characters even felt a little sticky when he touched it. I'm afraid it was written less than a few days ago.
Chen Qing knocked on the door gently. The iron ring on the door collided with the iron door. The sound spread throughout the bunker and then came back, making the sound a little louder.
After knocking three times in succession, the door to the bunker opened.
Through the gate, the field of view in the bunker is very narrow, and only about ten meters of the environment can be detected.
Going deeper, it was completely shrouded in darkness.
Chen and Qing walked in, and the moment they entered, the iron door behind them closed with a bang.
The sound was loud, and the pig-iron door was very thick. A strong air pressure pushed the two of them to stagger forward two steps, and their eyes left their side following these two stumbles.
When they raised their heads again, looking for their companions, Chen Qing could no longer find Jiang Wan. He frowned slightly, and after looking around, a lamp not far away suddenly lit up.
With the help of that lamp, Chen Qing could clearly see the things around him.
And the scene around him was not as good as what he saw through the outside light when he first came in.
The place is messy, with countless fragmentary objects piled up everywhere, and countless various skeletons scattered all over the place.
He kicked a path slightly with his feet and walked towards the lighted lamp.
Under the lamp, there is a table and two chairs.
The chair was covered with dust, but the table was extremely clean.
Chen Qing leaned over and sat down, and the lamp in front of him began to change the light.
From orange, to a little bit of blue on the wick.
That bit of blue light spread in the room, lighting up the objects in a weird look.
"You can take what you want from it." A voice came out from the darkness.
The voice was old and deep, like an old man speaking in his sixties but suffering from lung disease.
"This is not what I want." Chen Qing shook his head. He had already checked his surroundings as soon as the lights came on.
He was quite sure that the things placed all over the place were not critical.
"Then you leave."
He shook his head again: "I haven't found what I want yet."
"what do you want?"
"Knowledge that remains in writing, data that can only be passed down orally."
The voice in the shadow was silent, making the whole bunker quiet for a while.
After another moment, a calm female voice sounded from the bunker.
Her voice was a little lazy, as if she had just woken up after a long sleep.
She groaned and asked Chen Qing: "What do you want? What do you want to take away. Knowledge is always the most expensive thing of the same kind of goods. What do you give in exchange for me?"
Chen Qing touched his chin and asked in the shadow: "I need to know what knowledge you can give me. Mysticism? Or science."
The voice seemed to be laughing, but it didn't sound like a mockery. She laughed several times before replying to Chen Qing: "Science. Of course it is science. Everything in this world can be answered by science. Including mysticism, but it's just that The world is just ignorant.”
As the words faded, a woman wearing a cheongsam walked out of the shadows.
She has a graceful figure and her hair is shiny. There is some color on her fingertips that has been stained by the solution and cannot be washed away. Her face has some wrinkles, but she does not look very old.
She sat in front of Chen Qing, crossed her legs, and held a fan in her left hand. There were a lot of detailed numbers written on the fan.
The numbers are not written in large numbers, but they are extremely complex, densely packed like ants.
She leaned forward, her figure so full that it was touching the table.
"I can give you all the knowledge you want. But in other words, what can you offer me?"
Chen Qing was a little surprised when he listened, but then he put back his divergent thoughts and focused on what was in front of him.
"I can provide a non-relic as a price. I hope to exchange for the foundation's method of promoting the non-relic."
"Oh?" She smiled slightly and continued: "Did you know that what you exchanged is one of the routes for human advancement. Are you paying for it with non-relics? Then I'm afraid you have to find an S-level person."
Chen Qing frowned and realized something instantly.
Didn't she wonder what the non-relics she was talking about were? She has interacted with other people.
He looked at each other, but the woman just sat quietly and continued to wait.
"I just need a few routes."
“A few routes wouldn’t be worth the price.”
"You can tell me one more story."
“Stories are not free.”
"your story."
"My story is going to cost more."
Chen Qing listened, took out the small square from his pocket, and placed it on the table.
"How about using this in exchange for your golden words and telling me how you became a traitor?"
She smiled slightly, but her eyes did not move away from the small square.
"This story is complicated. But for the sake of old acquaintance..." She hesitated for a while, then asked Chen Qing: "If you can sign a contract with me, I will give you all the knowledge I have Based on you.”
Chen Qing looked at her, staring into each other's eyes. After staring for more than half a minute, he spoke: "I don't think I have that much capital to exchange for all your wealth."
"Maybe you have it?" She smiled and continued to ask Chen Qing: "If you sign this contract with me, then you have it."
