Chapter 320 You Will Be a Stowaway

Zhong Jianbai held his head and put his fingers in his hair. It took him a long time before he raised his head again. He looked at the screen, then frowned: "Zhao Mai, when did you know that you could travel to other worlds? Can you not tell me the specific date, just say within two years or two years ago?"

Since the time difference needs to be removed and only the earth's time is calculated, Zhao Mai replied: "What happened within two years?"

"This is troublesome." Zhong Jianbai said: "The old man will look back on the incident and eliminate the impact. If the time goes back two years ago, what happened from that point onwards will not necessarily be the same as now. In other words, what happened from that point onwards will not be the same as now. , it is possible that you will no longer be able to obtain this magical ability. Although this possibility is not high, it does exist."

"Then if I go to other worlds, can I avoid it?"

"I don't know about that either." Zhong Jianbai replied: "Except for the transcendent people and a few time travellers, everyone else will be traced back. Ordinary people will basically not be greatly affected because of their relatively low energy levels. For example, your My parents and family will definitely not be affected by the memory erasure, and the basic trajectory is still not much different from the current one, but you are not sure. I will contact the old man for you right now, and be sure to ask clearly."

Zhao Mai thought more. The old man told him more than once to "get a good rest and have important things for him to do when he comes back." Could this be related to this? If the transcendent really transcends time, wouldn't everything happening now be expected? Why let it happen? Is there some kind of script between Earth and other worlds, like Athas or Westeros?

Is he just another Jon Snow or Witch King Karak, whose fate has already been determined? A feeling of fear came over me. I still remember the joy in my heart when the old man congratulated me on taking the "first step". Now that I think about it, maybe it's not that simple. Zhao Mai waited with complicated emotions, as if he was waiting for the verdict. Every minute and every second seemed to be torture.

All the text on the screen disappeared, leaving only a decreasing number. "This is the normal population of people alive on the earth," Zhong Jianbai explained: "This number can reflect the seriousness of each incident. I have only seen this in records, and this is the first time I have experienced it personally."

"If you go back in time and can't remember any of this, how do you know?"

"The old man will always leave a detailed record to let us know what happened and what went wrong." Zhong Jianbai sighed and said: "The last time the world looked back on history was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The global nuclear crisis War and destruction have already happened, they have just been reset, and the number that time was 633, and this time it is 634."

"So many times?"

"Yes. I understand that you will have questions in your heart. It was the same for me for the first time. But you must remember one thing: don't rush to conclusions. You must read more and think more. Only time can answer many things. A little Some things not even time can answer.”

"I understand that this time it was the wizarding world that caused trouble. It has become like this. I can understand it by looking back in time. But why not stop it in advance? And isn't this also affecting people's memory? Aren't the Transcendents very opposed to this kind of thing?"

"Let me explain it to you." The old man appeared in the room out of thin air. He nodded to Zhong Jian, indicating that he could stay and listen. "We, a group of people, have reached a consensus that even if a disaster is foreseen, we cannot prevent it from happening by our own will. Each of us will see too many possibilities, which exist and happen at the same time in countless worlds. This is diversity , is also the true vitality and the basis of the existence of the universe. We transcendent people also observe and learn from this diversity. If all the formulas in the world are changed to 1=1 according to our own ideas, then where does 1+1 come from? ?”

"So you just let it happen?"

"We constantly learn from our mistakes, keep them, and then teach. We don't get involved in listening or not listening, learning or not learning, doing or not doing. And I can trace events back and give people a chance to do it again." The old man Said: "It is tiring to do this, but it is necessary. Progress is certainly a good thing, but mistakes are also precious. You cannot think that mistakes are necessarily bad."

"But those memories?"

"I am not the only one who can reverse time, but I am the only one who can guarantee that no mistakes will be made. And this is not a matter of memory, but involves people's potential." The old man stroked his beard and said: "What we value is people's potential. Wisdom, creativity and development potential, especially some transcendent beings whose earliest state was human, are naturally very emotional. We all agree that we cannot affect the future development of mankind. This is the highest principle."

"If the knowledge of the universe is a piece of white paper, we transcendents are just an ink dot on it, constantly spreading and expanding, but getting slower and slower. If there are no new additions, we will stop developing, and there will be nothing for us. Change means death." The old man said: "We allow mistakes to occur, because that is also a change. But we must correct those things that seriously affect the next change. This is the case with the forgetfulness curse incident in the wizarding world."

"Now I understand what you are doing." Zhao Mai nodded, "Thank you for telling me these things. I think if I am also within the scope of time retrieval, there is no need to know these things. Yes After all, as long as I go back, I will have no idea what happened unless I go to Zhong Jianbai to retrieve the information this time. So the final question is, what do I need to do next? "

"I need you to go back in time and save something for me as insurance against accidents." The old man said: "The voting this time is very weird, and something happened that I could not expect. On the one hand, I am very interested. , on the other hand, I also have to be cautious.”

"Based on the results of the vote, I will move the world back to two years ago. But eight people will actually go back to an earlier time, 1995. The Earth will be protected, but the wizarding world will not. This The eight people will compete separately to change the development trajectory of the wizarding world, thereby determining the future of the wizarding world."

The old man said it lightly, but Zhao Mai felt a huge wave in his heart: "This means that I am one of these eight people? Time travel?"

"No, you are the ninth, and your role is not to compete. You have other tasks. On the one hand, you have to go back and live until now. On the other hand, you want to see if you can do something to avoid the wizarding world. Things like the Forgetting Curse will happen again." The old man said: "At this stage, you must not return to the country, nor can you contact the relevant ministries and commissions, let alone reveal your relationship with the relevant ministries and commissions. You need to change your name. Spending this time in a foreign country is an insurance measure to protect the present, and even me. You and the people around you will have enough youth and life, you can rest assured."

"I don't understand, why me?"

"First of all, you can steal other people's time travel plans, so that you don't have to be one of the eight people to have the necessary conditions to go back. And you have taken the first step and are the only one in the multiverse that belongs to you. When time When looking back, people like you have to avoid yourself. For example, if the time goes back half a day ago, and two of you appeared on the return train at the same time, wouldn't it contradict the point of "you are the only one"? So, it's not With your consent, you will not be retroactive. You are the best person to preserve the current state of this world. But you cannot take the initiative to find yourself and deliberately create conflicts, at least not before you master the power of time. You will be hurt yourself, and severely impacting your own potential.”

"Do I have any other choice?"

"Yes." The old man said: "You can leave now, go to any other world at will, and then avoid looking back. But in that case, from the perspective of your family, the past two years will be different. What they have gained now Everything must change. You may even have to face a history that you have lost for two years, which may be a new timeline. The safest way is to go back to an earlier time and strengthen but not affect this history. Just like us transcendants, we always go back to the earliest days to strengthen our own existence. My suggestion is that you have to conduct time travel at least once to know what the hell time is."

Zhao Mai snorted heavily from his nose: "Actually, I have no choice, right?"

"No, you do have a choice." The old man said: "It's okay that you don't understand now. But at least you have taken the first step, you can watch the development of things, and you have the potential to figure it out."
