"You have ten minutes to ask me all the questions you want."
"What about ten minutes from now?"
"For new questions in ten minutes, you have to wait until your midterm exam grade point reaches 4.0 and you become my disciple. My time is very tight, you still have 9 minutes and 50 seconds."
…
Backstage in the large lecture hall, Xie Zhi changed into blue fire mode, and the flame skin of the crazy scissors covered his body, blocking Principal Zhao Haiyang who was about to leave at the door of the preparation room.
Xie Zhi's idea is simple, all Riddlers should get out of Gotham.
No matter life or freedom, who wants to kill me or control me next, or even whether I can see the sun the next day, it doesn't matter now.
Xie Zhi now just wants to know the truth of everything, whether it is his time travel, the amnesia of the original owner, or what forces are behind all the things he has encountered since time travel, and what the meaning behind those games is.
And right now, the person who obviously knows everything is backstage in the lecture hall.
Zhao Haiyang, the highly respected president of Yanqing University in Yanshui, the prestigious mediator No. 7 "God of War" in the Qing Department, the defeater of countless desperate organization conspiracies, the only "other world" who has shown goodwill to him except Zhang Hongmian after he traveled through "Powerful"...
"You only have two choices."
The blue flames on Xie Zhi's body were jumping, and the broken kendo mask covered half of his face, while his eyes were fixed on the man in tunic suit in front of him.
"Either you stretch out your little finger and hold me down here; or you tell me why all this happened. It's really uncomfortable to be kept in the dark. Mr. Principal, instead of living in confusion, I would rather live in the dark. I died in the moonlight that night when I traveled through time."
Zhao Haiyang stared at Xie Zhi in surprise. This surprised look lasted for several seconds. After two or three seconds, the surprise in Zhao Haiyang's eyes turned into a bit of appreciation.
"I really didn't expect that you, a time traveler, would dare to come to the backstage to block me after the weekly meeting."
"After all, you have a virtual girlfriend with rich information sources in your mobile phone, and there are two time traveler systems in your mind that can provide you with information sources at any time, even if they both carry viruses."
Zhao Haiyang watched Xie Zhi transforming into the blue fire form with great interest, and reached out to flick the pale blue scissors transformed from Xie Zhi's right hand.
With just a snap of his fingers, Xie Zhi felt as if the blue scissors had been hit hard by a hammer.
Holding back the pain in his right hand, Xie Zhi continued:
"I can't trust them."
"Not only because they have the identities of various organizations behind them, not only because they deceived me in the first few days of time travel, but also because, even if I am willing to believe them, they are willing to put all their The intelligence told me everything I know, but this knowledge is limited by their status and authority, and there must be something missing."
"You are the only one I can contact right now, the only person who may know the complete truth of the matter."
"You have a noble status and have been on the front line all year round. You saved me from two dangers. To put it lightly, even if you are unwilling to tell me the truth, I am willing to tell my story here. I will give you my life back.”
Zhao Haiyang burst out laughing when he heard this.
"Will you give me your life back?"
"How do you manage to make three more twists before your words reach other people's ears?"
"Aren't you threatening me with your life? Aren't you just saying in disguise that if I don't tell you the truth about time travel, you will die in front of me?"
Xie Zhi, who was covered in blue flames, also laughed.
"Yes, that's what I thought."
…
Zhao Haiyang finally agreed to Xie Zhi's unreasonable request, but on the condition that Xie Zhi could only ask questions for ten minutes.
He understood clearly that after surviving several life-and-death crises, the time traveler in front of him had already achieved some kind of different psychological growth.
This kind of growth, to put it nicely, is called being greedy, but to put it worse, it is like a dead pig that is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
Anyway, I can't live long without anyone saving me in this crisis-ridden world. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't live today, and maybe I won't live a few days less.
Do you think Xie Zhi is acting badly?
Not really.
His change of mentality was a conclusion based on full consideration.
Xie Zhi felt that he had made a profit by using a "death probability" with extremely high mathematical expectations as a bargaining chip in exchange for real information that he might never know if he hadn't gambled in this way.
Not only make money, but make a lot of money.
After Principal Zhao Haiyang started counting down in his head, Xie Zhi quickly entered the role of questioner.
His first question was...why did I travel through time?
"Your time travel is the result of the combined will of the two worlds. The giant moon world is facing the doomsday test of the moon's fall. If no new possibilities occur, the giant moon, which is constantly covered by negative emotions and gains weight, will be destroyed within two hundred years. It keeps falling, eventually falling within its hash limit to the Earth.”
"At that time, the moon will rapidly decompose due to the huge gravitational force from the earth, and the earth will also face the greatest crisis. Countless meteors and fire showers will wipe out the entire human civilization in a short period of time."
"Therefore, the giant moon world needs to constantly introduce new traversers from other worlds to find more possibilities for them to fight the doomsday. At the same time, this world will often send new traversers to go to places that may solve the possibility of the doomsday. other parallel worlds and actively capture more from those worlds.”
Xie Zhi was stunned, and a knot in his mind was finally untied at this moment.
But the untying of one knot creates a new knot.
There are countless people in another world, why yourself?
"This question... you can simply understand it as luck. There are people who have won the lottery and won 50 million or 100 million. Why can't the person who traveled through time be you?"
Zhao Haiyang's expression was a bit cheerful. He grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"I know, you want to say that you are just an ordinary and ordinary person. If you want to introduce a time traveler to save the world, wouldn't it be better to capture a soldier king or a detective from the parallel world?"
"Hey, don't tell me, it's really like that. That's really better."
"But when it comes to time travel, he is unreasonable to a certain extent."
"Some people have special constitutions and are naturally easier to time travel than others. Some people have a happy life and have full talents, but they are unable to time travel."
"To put it more clearly, you know that I am the No. 7 mediator of the alliance, but why is it that when the will of the world in this world chooses those who travel to other worlds, it always fails to choose me?"
"Because for the world will of this world, my existence in this world can bring more possibilities to the world."
"Ah this..."
Xie Zhi blinked.
Co-author, as a time traveler, in a sense, I am the world will of the old world. Do you think that staying in the old world is a waste of air and land before sending yourself out?
"I didn't say that."
Zhao Haiyang took another sip of tea.
"I'm just saying, if thinking that way makes you feel better, you can think that way."
What a hell! I would rather believe that the time traveler is the son of a plane blessed by luck, and is the king of possibilities chosen by the entire world!
"I still believe in fairy tales. The story of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan is always more tempting than a toad wanting to eat the swan's flesh."
Xie Zhi smiled and asked his third question.
What surprised Zhao Haiyang was that Xie Zhi's third question was the same as the second one.
"So, why me?"
"I mean, every year, multiple time-travelers from parallel worlds come to this world. Why did Mediator No. 7 only save me twice among the many time-travelers who came through?"
"Why do the Human Scales, the Original Sect, and the Digital Miracle, these well-known desperate organizations, engage in many overt and covert confrontations with me, a recently traveled time traveler, just to compete for control of me?"
Having said this, Xie Zhi showed a hint of self-mockery on his face,
"To be honest, I think my experience from time travel to now is like Tang Monk in Journey to the West. His posture is like a monster trying to catch me."
Upon hearing this question, Zhao Haiyang pondered for a rare moment.
Then he told Xie Zhi that his meditation was not because he didn't know about this issue.
It's because there is some content in this question that I shouldn't understand now.
"You must have experienced confusion and despair."
"In the giant moon world, a lot of intelligence and information, while expanding your knowledge, are actually a cup of poisonous wine."
"The question you just asked consists of multiple questions, some of which I am unable to answer for you at this stage."
"Because the moment you hear the answer, you will fall into confusion and despair. Even the intensity of confusion and despair this time, even No. 5's amnestic deletion can't save you."
Xie Zhi was stunned.
"If that's the case, then I won't be able to know the truth for the rest of my life?"
"Not really."
Zhao Haiyang smiled expectantly.
"Study hard. The Six Books compiled by Professor Zhang Zihe, the Six Arts compiled by Professor Guan Yingwu, and the Six Classics compiled by Professor Zhou Qiuyu. After you get 4.0 in all eighteen courses, your knowledge reserve will increase, and you will naturally have a good understanding of this. More access to the world to explore.”
"At least you won't go crazy when you hear more of the truth."
Xie Zhi blinked.
"Um, how long until the midterm exam?"
"About forty days, the days are still long."
"Forty days! Eighteen courses! With a GPA of 4.0, you still want me to get 90% in every course!"
"What, is this difficult?"
Zhao Haiyang patted Xie Zhi's chest,
"It's just one class for two days. I think this shouldn't be a difficult task for time travellers."
"Damn it, are the time-travelers gods? Just study a course in two fucking days!"
Xie Zhi felt that his brain was in constant shock.
This kind of shock was more violent than the huge moon hanging in the sky when he first woke up in this world.
"Study hard and work hard towards 4.0."
Zhao Haiyang didn't take it seriously. He stretched out his hand to help Xie Zhi straighten his collar.
Then he patted the dust on Xie Zhi's shoulder seemingly casually.
What is surprising is that with this gentle pat from Zhao Haiyang, the blue flame burning on Xie Zhi's body was extinguished by Zhao Haiyang.
The blue flames flew back to Xie Zhi's heart and back with the shadow of crazy scissors.
"Before reaching the third step of cultivation, try to use transformation as little as possible."
"Emotional incarnation or transformation puts a heavy load on the heart and brain."
"I mean, just like instant noodles, eating too much is not healthy."
