"Life is a journey, and death is its end." - Playwright
Wu Hui and Wu Tong sat side by side in a corner of the train, looking inconspicuous among the many passengers. Everyone around seemed to be sitting in their respective seats, without any movement.
"..." Wu Hui was not in a hurry and started to read the rules first. This is a ten-level difficulty game, so it's best to be cautious.
The combat power is not sealed. The mission is to find out the truth before the train reaches the terminal. But the specific truth was not revealed. Wu Tong is not in a hurry, her intelligence is only thirteen, so she should wait for Wu Hui next to her to come up with ideas.
"Well... let's talk to someone first." Wu Hui activated the Six Paths Apartment and summoned the group of people from the Human Path to go out and collect information. At the same time, he also studied the clothes of the people around him.
It's like modern, but the clothing types are low and the workmanship is poor, and they are generally outdated. Maybe it's because the economy is not very developed.
No one is playing with mobile phones. Most people looked confused.
Occasionally someone gets up to use the toilet. Except that no one is using mobile phones and there are no conductors pushing carts to sell things, they all look the same as ordinary trains.
But once the glasses are scanned, it can be seen that these people are all in a state of soul.
In other words, this is a train carrying dead people.
Soon, several human summons who had little combat power but were very efficient in doing things came to report the information they asked for.
This section of the carriage is at the rear, and the way forward is locked. Most train passengers have no idea why they are on board. But first of all, due to some kind of mental hypnosis, I still stayed in my seat obediently.
There is no danger in getting up and walking.
So Wu Hui and Wu Tong got up and started to gather information on the train. But I heard a man cough dryly: "Give me a hand, thank you."
Wu Hui looked in this direction. It was a guy he knew.
Legendary investigator, one of the founders of human defense, and the world's first investigator. Qishanlin.
This investigator is also the only one who died of natural causes. Well, it was a rather shameful death, because he died of some unspeakable disease due to his chaotic private life. This may sound a warning to Wu Hui.
But Qi Shanlin is really handsome, with about 12 points of charm. There is also a temperament that has experienced vicissitudes of life.
His position was somewhat special, as he was pinned down to his seat by arms composed of countless skeletons. However, these skeletons cannot be seen with the naked eye, and Wu Hui also scanned them with his glasses.
Wu Hui knocked on his glasses. It could be seen from the favorability score that Qi Shanlin had no memory of himself.
But Wu Tong didn't say anything, just took out a bottle of wine and waited for his brother to negotiate with this person.
"Do you know you are a dead person?" Wu Hui asked.
Qi Shanlin: "Yeah, I know. But whether he's dead or not, we still have to see what's going on in this place."
"Okay." Wu Hui took action and pulled Qi Shanlin up from his seat. The next moment, he and Wu Tong seemed to be attracted by the soul body of Qi Shanlin, and came to an unknown world together.
Hmm...this should be the setting of this game. Wu Hui didn't panic at all, or he just expected this to happen.
"Ahem, cough, cough." The two looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
That was Qi Shanlin who was already lying on the hospital bed.
He was holding a watch and shaking slightly. When Wu Hui stepped forward to take it, he closed his eyes and died.
Wu Hui checked his watch and saw four buttons. Jump, rewind, pause, fast forward.
There is also a sentence engraved on the back of the watch: "Every time you use it, you will consume your own time. Please use it with caution."
So...Qi Shanlin didn't really die of illness, but because he ran out of time using this prop? A bit fantasy.
"I'll wear it," Wu Tong said.
"Take turns wearing it." Wu Hui glanced at his sister: "Sister, I am no longer a child."
"Well, I understand this very well." Wu Tong suddenly touched his lower abdomen and at the same time cast a glance at Wu Hui
Wink.
She was gesturing there, but Wu Hui said he had put on his watch, which showed his remaining time. 525732.372 hours.
That is a little over sixty years.
Qi Shanlin was in his thirties when he died. Died quite young. Now it seems that it is probably because I have used this watch too many times.
Wu Hui looked at the price of the jump. There were many marked dates on this watch, and you could also choose to jump forward or backward by how many years. Each year jump consumes 0.1 hours, and then the starting price is one hour. To be honest, it is quite affordable, but if you use it a lot, it will consume a lot of time.
The dates marked are, 1, the human defense line was established. x0000 years. 2. The night before the dawn of burning dawn x0102. 3. Legendary investigator Crazy Eyes Ace was born in x0062...
Lin Lin listed a total of more than a dozen time points. I have to say that Qi Shanlin is also quite busy.
I originally wanted to say that it would be too shameful to die in a chaotic private life, but now it seems that this guy can see his remaining time and simply indulge. In fact, there are a lot of things to worry about. This is like a saint, jumping around the timeline to put out fires everywhere. It seems that the legendary investigators summoned by Wu Hui don't know about this yet.
They all thought that the first legendary investigator was only called a legend because he founded the investigator organization. He is a guy whose administrative and organizational abilities are greater than his specific affairs abilities.
Of course, setting up investigators and a human defense line is also a very powerful thing in itself. The investigators who followed had to act within his framework. Such an existence is legendary enough in itself.
But now it seems a little more legendary than imagined.
"Well... let's experiment first." Wu Hui grabbed Wu Tong's hand and chose to jump in time. The jump was successful, and the two came together to year x0000 in this investigator's world.
Wu Hui didn't spend much time, only two hours. After all, Qi Shanlin died not long after the human defense line was established. Only ten years.
At this time, Wu Hui also received a game prompt from the Demon God. Ask him to hand over the brand new time watch to Qi Shanlin.
Brand new? How to do this?
Wu Tong: "Well, do you want to make a new one, or..."
"No, I probably understand." After all, Wu Hui is a person who has experienced the game in Liudao Apartment: "We have to find the source of this watch. Or find a way to turn it into the latest thing."
He estimated that such a highly effective thing would definitely not allow him to be taken out of the game. That is, a mission item.
Moreover, we still don’t know whether time in this world is linear, circular, or tree-shaped. It’s still unclear whether the time watch can find the beginning and the end. What if it is just a ring created out of thin air?
This may be a bit abstract. So let’s be more specific. Suppose Wu Hui took this watch, refurbished it and gave it to Qi Shanlin. Then, Qi Shanlin will give him this watch in the future.
That forms an ouroboros. Connected from end to end, there is no end and sum.
That is, the meaning of the evil god of the circle of time.
