Chapter 203 Both Are Unreliable (3rd Update)

Chen Ke and Sam were stunned, not knowing why Dr. Jiulin would say that.

"He is a Level 9 agent of the Administration, you know this, right...?" Chen Ke asked.

"Of course I know, in fact, we have always acted together before..." Dr. Jiulin said.

"Together...?" Sam interrupted.

Jiulin walked to the table, operated the computer, and opened a map interface. This map seemed to be independently developed, with many building names and notes marked.

"Yes, the Institute has a research institute in Xiaoyao City. When the incident happened, I was conducting research in it, and Ying Baiyi also worked in this city... As far as I know, he is the only Level 9 agent in Xiaoyao City." Jiulin said.

"The only two... um... It sounds like you guys acted together at the end, and you should have brought a large number of survivors." Chen Ke said.

When Ying Baiyi found Sam, there were more than a dozen survivors following him. At that time, Chen Ke felt that their state was not right.

They didn't look like the injured who had experienced the subway accident, but more like refugees who had been displaced for a long time.

"That's right. Ying Baiyi and another Level 9 agent, with a dozen low-level agents, more than 20 investigators from different spiritual companies, and a dozen doctors from the research institute, we are looking for the remaining people while trying to hold on and wait for rescue." Jiulin said.

As you can imagine, no one came to rescue them, because with the population density of cities in the Western world, after such a thing happened, everyone was unable to rescue each other.

And let's not talk about those monsters.

Chen Ke didn't know whether the birdmen would appear during the day, but from Ying Baiyi's warning, they would not be deployed in large numbers during the day, but they would still be attracted by the sound.

Ying Baiyi once told Chen Ke not to try to drive, and it seems that he must have tried it himself.

"Where are those agents...?" Sam asked.

Chen Ke also wanted to know, because the Administration had sufficient holy relics, psychic firearms and psychic teams. In every city, they were the most capable group of people.

"They made great sacrifices, many died at the hands of those monsters, and a few turned into ashes." Jiulin sighed.

"What a pity. You must have had quite a few survivors. When Ying Baiyi met us, he only brought a dozen of them." Sam shook his head.

"A dozen... where are they now..." Jiulin asked.

Chen Ke glanced at Sam and said, "We got separated from them. He and I had some disagreements. He insisted on leaving the city, and I wanted to find a safe underground place."

Jiulin did not respond. She pinched her chin and thought for a while, as if trying to find some clues.

"He doesn't just want to leave the city." She paced back and forth in front of the table, talking to herself.

"What do you think he wants to do? Ask for help?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.

"No, he knows the current situation better than anyone else... He has only one goal, which is to leave this world..." Jiulin said.

Chen Ke did not speak. He had found the key to the problem.

Obviously, this world is completely hopeless. Whether it is another timeline or something else, in short, the living people who know about it want to escape from here.

What Ying Baiyi said, that they could escape by finding the subway Chen Ke and his friends were riding on, and what Dr. Jiulin said, that they could find the singularity of space-time entanglement, were actually the same thing.

The subway had a period of displacement before the collision, and that was when the entanglement occurred. After the collision, Chen Ke and his friends were no longer riding the original subway, but on a subway in this world.

Would the original subway still be in this world?

Chen Ke could not tell Dr. Jiulin what Ying Baiyi said about the subway. Because he had only known this doctor for half an hour, and like Ying Baiyi, he could not fully trust him.

And he could see that Jiulin and Ying Baiyi did not have a good relationship.

They could only believe half of what they said, because if both sides insisted on their own opinions, there would be no reference at that time.

They might lie for some of their own purposes, but pure lies would never be as deceiving as half-truths.

If you can tell half of their lies, you can piece together the truth.

It's easy to say, but it's even harder to judge, and you must rely on Diana's experience and cognition in the Administration.

"I have something to ask you, Doctor, about time travel." Chen Ke said.

Jiulin nodded.

"This is 2006, right? If you leave this world and go to... for example, 2005, or 2008..." Chen Ke said.

"I know your doubts, Chen Ke, you mean the time paradox." Jiulin said.

Chen Ke clapped his hands.

"I don't know either. To be honest, there are many novels and movies about time travel, but they are not accurate and cannot be accurate. Because no one can travel through time and space... Again, science can only falsify, not prove, and speculations that cannot be verified by experiments are always just speculations." Jiulin said.

"I have read some novels and movies about time travel. They generally have two ways to deal with paradoxes. One is a very lazy way of playing, where the traveler creates a new timeline, that is, a parallel universe, and the two do not interfere with each other. Another way is that there is always only one timeline, but the whole story will be a circle when you see the ending, because the protagonist did something at the end, which led to something happening at the beginning of the plot..." Sam interrupted.

"Excuse me, if time travel novels or movies use the setting of parallel universes, then there is no meaning of time travel, because what you change is not your past and future, but going to a new world. What kind of time travel is this..." Chen Ke complained.

"I didn't expect to talk about novels and movies with two strangers at the end of the world... But what I want to say is that these film and television works themselves have no reference value. Because the screenwriters all design the foothold on the protagonist." Jiulin said.

"It's an interesting point of view, but I don't understand it." Sam said.

"What I mean is that the time point of these time travel stories is always, if the protagonist goes back to the past or goes to the future, what impact will anything he does have on the world? Don't you think this is arrogant?" Jiulin explained.

"Yes, in front of the universe, people are actually not very meaningful..." Chen Ke nodded in agreement.

"Instead of worrying about trivial things, it is better to think about what a person will become when he travels through time and space? What impact will this universe have on him..." Jiulin smiled.

"It sounds scary. I don't know why, but I just feel that time travel itself becomes less romantic when you say that..." Sam rubbed his arms.

"Parallel universes are convenient for screenwriters to write plots, and the beginning and end loop is an arrogant conjecture centered on the protagonist. So if someone can really travel through time and actually change what happened in the past... what will happen then?" Chen Ke thought secretly, but he didn't say it out loud.

"The topic of time travel ends here. I don't want to pour cold water on you gentlemen. Although I said before that we can go back if we find the singularity of time entanglement, but... you know, I have said it twice..." Jiulin said.

"Science can only falsify, not prove. Speculations that cannot be verified by experiments are always just speculations." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"That's right." Jiulin gave a thumbs up.
