The Rainbow Bridge mentioned by Cross refers to the fact that when Zhou Jinru told the story to the operators, he incorporated some popular Marvel themes at that time, only made some localization processing, and the plot extension was limited to Infinity War.
When he was in college, he had no interest in reading about Nordic mythology. If he had time, he might as well watch a few more movies. The rainbow bridge connecting Asgard naturally appeared along with the story. Anyway, it was just a chat after dinner.
Movies are movies and myths are myths. How can they be connected with reality?
Zhou Jinru sighed, it seemed that he couldn't think of any good solution in a short time.
The time here is the same, and you will inevitably get bored after watching it for a long time. With two more operators around him, he is not interested in looking at those beauties in swimsuits anymore. Most of the day, he sits in front of the wooden pier and watches the tide.
"Doctor, can we still go back?"
Zhou Jinru smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? We are just dreaming. When the medical team finds something is wrong, they will forcefully disconnect it soon."
For Melanza and Cross, their concept of time was only a few days, but they stayed for a whole month and could not find any way to return to reality.
So, what exactly does bridge mean?
The occasional disturbance happened on a calm afternoon. Zhou Jinru was sitting on the pier fishing. Rather than being in a daze every day, he might as well find something to do. However, the fishhook never shook and not a single fish bit his hook.
At some point, a man sat next to him and his eyes fell on the fishing rod in his hand.
"Can I catch a fish?"
"I don't know, whoever wants to take the bait will take the bait."
"hehe."
The man took out a pack of barbecue cigarettes from his jacket pocket and handed one over, but Zhou Jinru rejected it.
"Sorry, I don't smoke. My children don't like the smell of smoke."
The man's finger was hanging in the air, but he took it back angrily, and said awkwardly: "I don't smoke now, but I can't change my habit."
He exhaled and asked again: "I see you have been fishing for several days, what's bothering you?"
Zhou Jinru asked: "You can't fish if you don't have troubles?"
The man reached out and grabbed the fishing rod in his hand, reeling in the fishing line. The metal fishhook shone in the sun.
How can you fish without bait?
Fish!
Just fish hard!
Zhou Jinru looked at the sea level on the horizon: "Where are you from?"
"From Linghai."
"The land of plenty, a great place, I had morning tea there."
"Well, that place doesn't work anywhere, just morning tea."
"What's your last name?"
"No need for your surname to be Wang."
Zhou Jinru was startled and turned to look at the other person. He had a sharp-edged face with neat features. He was not handsome by any means, but tough enough.
He asked: "Do we know each other?"
"I know you. We've known each other for a long time." The man surnamed Wang looked at the sparkling waves on the sea. "Thank you for your hard work while I was away."
Zhou Jinru suddenly lost control of his body. He looked at his right hand and clenched it into a fist, then punched the man next to him on the side of the face, and knocked him from the dock into the sea, splashing him with water. .
A vulgar remark came out of his mouth: "Damn it, is that all you need to say thank you?"
Wow.
The man who fell into the sea rose up in the air and landed on the dock again, rubbing the side of his face: "Are you relieved?"
He stretched out his right index finger and felt a little weak. Zhou Jinru felt that his soul was blasted out of his body, but it quickly reset.
"Holy shit, is this a good thing Zhang Taiyue did?! You are me, the person who just spoke was just an execution program, and I got punched by the execution program?!"
Zhou Jinru's eyes widened. He had confirmed who the person standing in front of him was, but the other person's explanation made him confused as to what happened.
"Are you Wang Chongyang?"
"Yes, it's me. We know each other, but there is one difference. In this era, we shouldn't meet."
Zhou Jinru's scalp was numb and he said: "Why! Where am I!"
Wang Chongyang sighed: "In this era, at this moment, you are already dead, and Zhang Taiyue personally handles your body. I don't know why he can let you reach the future alive and become the only support point left."
This is the moment Zhou Jinru is closest to the truth.
He was in the past, the distant past, having a face-to-face conversation with the God of the future.
The voice that bewitched him turned out to be just an execution program, and it had punched Wang Chongyang a few minutes ago. It seemed to be a setting left by Zhang Taiyue.
"Don't wonder how I know that you come from the future and know what will happen in the future." Wang Chongyang sat down on the pier again. "This planet has suffered unimaginable suffering. It chose me, but it failed to escape even more." A terrible thing happened. During this period, a true god fell into a deep sleep. I was forced to become the true god’s agent. I have some of the authority of the true god and can see through some timelines, but my previous identity cannot be changed. I can lead you to escape, but not Ways to protect life on this planet."
Zhou Jinru grabbed his hair: "All my memories are gone."
"You have to ask Zhang Taiyue about this. I can't see everything. Fourth child, I have something to ask you for help."
Wang Chongyang stretched out his right hand, and light spots visible to the naked eye condensed in his palm, forming a drop of water made purely of light.
He sighed: "This child Mao Xu has never really grown up. Even if he becomes a defender and a victim to save this planet, he is still living in the past. I will leave him to you, I don't worry."
Wang Chongyang shot the ball of light into Zhou Jinru's body, and the transparent light outlined the appearance of a human figure behind him.
"He has grown up so much. He was still an 11-year-old child at the time... The small talk is over, it's time to get down to business."
Wang Chongyang stood up and looked to the end of the sky. The huge shadow covered his entire field of vision. Just looking at it would make people go crazy.
"Fourth, I know everything that happened before, but we are defenders. We have our own beliefs. If the world doesn't believe it, let them go. I have never asked others to treat defenders as gods. They knock down statues and burn history. That's It’s their business, but we have to do our job.”
"I remember all the grievances and all my companions. I have a very good memory and cannot forget things."
"Do you still remember the eight words that all 31 defenders must remember?"
Wang Chongyang's feet left the ground and were suspended in mid-air. He faced the approaching shadow, blooming with endless light.
"Face the darkness and turn your back to the world."
"The world is behind us, we must not take a step back."
"I know you are looking for a bridge. Look clearly. This is the bridge."
He turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the shadow at the end of the sky. As the light approached, Zhou Jinru, who was standing on the ground, could see clearly the other person's true appearance.
The distorted appearance gradually formed into something human beings could understand. It looked like an elephant with its trunk cut off. Only the whites of its eyes were left in its eye sockets. It was so huge that it occupied the entire sky, leaving no room left.
"Just a bond is also a bridge!"
"To this day, are you still willing to protect those you have never met before?"
"This is my world, our world!"
"Outsiders, get out of our world!"
The outer god descending at the end of the sky let out a cry of pain, and was pushed away by the golden light bit by bit. The sky returned to clarity, and the boundless madness was far away from this land.
The god on earth disappeared without a trace, and the golden light never came back. Only a golden sun hanging in the sky released light and heat.
After Zhou Jinru glanced at the sun twice, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and swayed back to his temporary residence.
"PhD?"
Melanza was washing clothes. When she saw Zhou Jinru, she stopped what she was doing and felt that something was different about the doctor.
"Stop doing the laundry, where is Cross?"
"I'll call her."
Soon, Cross rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Did the doctor find his way home?"
The corners of Zhou Jinru's mouth turned up slightly: "Yes, we have found it. Let's go home."
He reached out and grabbed the arms of the two girls, and together with them, they turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
When leaving this level of dreamland, Zhou Jinru vaguely saw some different scenes.
The God on Earth fell straight from the sky to the sea, setting off huge waves. The heat he brought evaporated a large amount of seawater, and even knocked out a huge crater in the deep trench on the seabed, which was comparable to a meteorite impact.
Then the figure broke through the sea water, flew into the sky again, and waved its fist at the indescribable alien god.
"Those outer gods are all blocked by the gods on earth and cannot come in. They can only come through projection. They have gone from being incomprehensible to being able to be eliminated by humans on the ground."
There is no enemy in this land that cannot be eliminated.
…
Melanza opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the medical operators surrounding her, as well as all kinds of concerned looks.
Ansel cried with joy: "Captain, you finally woke up!"
It was an amazing experience, and even the scene when it turned into light at the end was amazing.
Melanza opened her chapped lips and said weakly: "Where's Cross?"
"She's awake too!"
PhD……
Miss Felin raised her hand and was immediately held by the medical operators on both sides: "Miss Melanza, how do you feel?"
"It's okay, I feel okay."
She felt dizzy and almost fell, as if she had fallen from a high altitude.
The situation on Cross's side is similar, it may be the sequelae of waking up.
"How is Doctor?"
Yaye said quickly: "The doctor has woken up, and Dr. Kelsi said everything is fine."
That's it.
Melantha was relieved. Doctor Kelsey said it was okay, so it must be okay.
On the other side, Zhou Jinru sat up from the equipment cabin, enduring a headache. He didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable.
"You finally woke up."
Kelsey handed over a small bottle of potion: "Drink it and you will feel better."
"Thank you, how is the situation now?"
"Melanza and Cross have both woken up."
"Where's the front line?"
"A large number of monsters suddenly appeared, and Amiya passed by."
Zhou Jinru took a deep breath, turned over and crawled out. His legs softened and he knelt down on one knee. He couldn't stop panting: "I want to go too."
Kelsey stretched out her hand and pushed Zhou Jinru down with gentle force, and said calmly: "You are in a state where you can't even resist a gentle push from me. If you go there, you will also increase the burden on the operators."
"What can you do?"
"Wait until you regain your strength."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I can't wait."
The woman emphasized: "All you can do now is wait."
"Don't you have medicine, stimulants or something? Give me an injection and I'll be fine!"
"No……"
Her refusal shocked Zhou Jinru.
He said with difficulty: "Why?!"
"You can't go, you'll die."
