"What? You said this is the savior's line!?"
Gates looked around in astonishment, but what caught his eye was the familiar nine-to-five office layout, which was exactly the same as in his memory.
Compared with Gates' reaction, the elder Gates behaved very calmly from beginning to end.
"Stop standing there at the counter, come..."
He smiled, turned around, walked to the round table where guests were entertained, and made a "please" gesture to Gates.
"Although we don't have much time, we still have time to sit down, drink tea, and chat a little bit."
After hearing this, Gates looked at Old Gates intently for a while, took a deep breath, exhaled, walked over, and sat on the chair pointed by Old Gates' palm.
"How did I suddenly come to this timeline?" he asked first.
"Oh? Don't you remember what happened before you came here?"
With that said, Old Gates brewed a cup of tea for Gates, pushed the tea cup in front of Gates, and then sat down on the chair opposite him.
Gates did not look at the cup of tea that Old Gates pushed over, but frowned and tried to remember. However, no matter what he thought, the last memory in his mind was the scene where he was stunned and lost his mind because of the sudden doomsday picture.
Old Gates watched with great interest as Gates tried to remember, his eyes filled with nostalgia for time.
Once upon a time, he was like his young self, often talking to another person here with this expression...
Dongdong!
Old Gates knocked on the table with his fingers to bring Gates back to his senses.
"Don't worry, have a cup of tea first, relax, you will remember it."
With a nostalgic smile on his face, he raised his hand to signal Gates to drink the tea in front of him.
But Gates obviously doesn't have that state of mind.
"ha?"
He lowered his head in confusion and vigilance, looking at the cup of black tea in front of him that was brewed from an unknown variety of tea leaves. He picked it up dubiously, shook it, and raised his head to ask Old Gates.
"you sure?"
The red and blue tea leaves at the bottom of the cup swayed gently, the clear black tea in the cup rippled slightly, and Gates' face at this time was reflected on the undulating water, slightly transparent.
"..."
Old Gates didn't speak, just smiled, nodded, and responded affirmatively.
Seeing this, Gates hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to believe it and drank the cup of black tea brewed with strange tea leaves in one breath.
Gudong Gudong——
The tea entered his mouth, but he couldn't taste anything.
More importantly, he still didn't think of anything.
Gates frowned and was about to ask a question when his expression suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and various images reflected in his eyes.
It was recorded from the perspective of an alien quiz, Gates himself during that period of time that he didn't know...
He stood motionless in the weathered, decaying, yellow sand-filled city;
His eyes were dull and he was mumbling to himself;
He had a weird smile on his face;
He was suddenly frightened and then fell into silence;
And in the end, with confusion on his face, he slowly woke up from his trance...
That is, the memory of the alien quiz.
It is the history of the alien quiz from its birth to the end of its short life.
Old Gates compressed the short life of the alien quiz into tea leaves and brewed it into tea.
Therefore, after drinking that cup of tea, Gates got the memory of a strange quiz.
Only then did Old Gates speak: "They say life is like tea. What do you think this tea... tastes like?"
Hearing this, Gates was silent for a moment, put down the tea cup that contained not only the "tea", but also the "tea leaves". He raised his head, looked at the old Gates and said: "It's not that good... If possible, I would rather it never come back." Never appeared."
After all, the birth of the heterogeneous quiz was, on the one hand, catalyzed by the heterogeneous quiz table, and on the other hand, it was also because Gates himself wavered first.
In response, the elder Gates nodded in agreement.
"Well, you really should reflect on that."
However, at this point, Old Gates' voice changed and he said again.
"But having said that, I have to say thank you to the alien quiz. After all, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't be able to meet you like this."
Hearing this, Gates didn't show much surprise on his face.
"As expected, you pulled me to this timeline through the time and space distortion caused by the Alien Quiz when you created the Alien Geiz Revive Table."
He said solemnly.
"Let's be honest, 'Saviour', what is the purpose of Bai Woz and you putting so much effort into pulling me into this timeline? You can't, just to chat with me, right?"
"Haha, of course we are not that boring."
Old Gates shook his head and did not care about the malicious speculation hidden in Gates' words.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of becoming you at all. Not only me, but White Watts also doesn't have any intention of you becoming me. Both I and he hope that you can find a way out." A different path than ours.”
After finishing speaking, Old Gates looked at Gates' unconvincing expression, thought for a while, and explained.
"Remember how I first introduced you to this timeline?"
"I said, here is the possibility of 'Shougo Tokiwa failing to become king' kidnapped by the Bureau of Time Management."
"For those with time abilities, especially those at the top, every small possibility cannot be ignored, let alone such a person who is held in the hands of the Time Management Bureau and has been accumulating all timelines." A timeline of the possibility of Tokiwa Shogo's failure to claim the throne."
The Time Management Bureau hid this timeline perfectly, but that does not mean that the Time Management Bureau could continue to hide it perfectly when the Time Management Bureau wanted to take it out for use.
When "Woz" also appeared on this timeline as a factor of failure, Gates knew that the day was not far away when the Bureau of Time Management would use this trump card... No matter what the reason, it was the Bureau of Time Management that I feel that the time is ripe, but I am still forced to make a desperate move.
With this in mind, Old Gates continued.
"This timeline is like a river, because it evolved from the possibility of 'Jiba Shogo failed to become king', so the river itself will only flow to the future of 'Tokiwa Shogo failed to become king', but because I blocked the river, so the water in the river keeps accumulating."
"It's better to open up the river than to block it. I don't want new tributaries to merge into this river... What I hope is that someone can redirect this river and find a new path to the right future."
"White Watts, this is the time you are here for."
"In order to atone for his sins, he abandoned his past and gambled everything he had."
"Remember what he called you?"
"My... savior."
"It was you he shouted, not me."
