Chapter 241 Time Is Wonderful

After the woman pushed the door open and went out, Chen Ke watched her cross the street through the window before he came out of the restaurant.

A white bus passed by and the woman disappeared on the street.

"Fuck..." Chen Ke cursed inwardly, his pupils turned blue, and he activated his psychic vision.

In a flash, the whole world turned light blue. With Chen Ke as the center, all humanoid creatures within a spherical range with a diameter of 200 meters were outlined in blue.

He crossed the street while looking for the woman. It was already night, and there were not many people on the street, so it should not be difficult to find her.

However, apart from the citizens in the buildings on the street and the scattered passers-by on the street, Chen Ke could no longer locate the woman, as if she had disappeared.

For some reason, Chen Ke had a bad premonition.

He took out his iPhone and wanted to call Lester to confirm whether the target had hired any bodyguards, but after thinking about it, he put the phone back.

Because Chen Ke thought that doing so would make Lester feel that he was not professional enough... He would act according to circumstances at that time.

He looked at the time, and it was almost time, so he gave up searching for the woman and went to the villa where the target was.

With the help of Google Maps, Chen Ke quickly found the target from the villa complex. It was a villa built on the hillside, surrounded by a circle of white walls.

This kind of villa usually has a yard with a small lawn and a swimming pool. In the summer, the middle class sunbathes in their yards, holds barbecue parties, and enjoys life.

Weekends without overtime and weekdays that get off work on time are just urban legends for Chen Ke. Since he entered the society, all his time has been occupied by his boss, and his physical strength, energy, and time... have all been wasted on other people's careers.

Although the boss is not stingy and gives enough salary. However, the community where Chen Ke lives happens to be within the scope of the national old city reconstruction plan, so it was demolished two years ago. As a last resort, Chen Ke can only take on the mortgage.

Mortgages and endless work tied Chen Ke from his twenties to fifties. He felt that the future no longer belonged to him, as if he was tied to a rocket by someone else, and his destination was a star he had never seen in his life.

Chen Ke's hometown, as a city promoted to a new first-tier city, has seen housing prices rise more than ten times in a few years. His loan term is as long as 30 years, and he has only paid back the loan for more than two years. He traveled through time...

I don't know how anxious his parents are now... The company boss probably thought he resigned...

Fortunately, Chen Ke's name was used when applying for the loan for the house, so even if he stopped paying, the record of default would be on his head, and it would not cause trouble for his parents...

So to speak, Chen Ke's soul traveled through time, and the timeline was a bit messy, and he didn't know what the situation was so far.

I am currently borrowing Lin Mo's body, so my body should still be sleeping at home... My soul has traveled here, so the body lying in bed sleeping should be considered dead...

But this involves the soul hypothesis. As we all know, modern science has not yet proved that people have souls... But Chen Ke is very sure that everything in the world, as long as it is a conscious life form, has a soul, and he has more than 40 on his body...

Is there still a chance to go back... This is a question, and if you think about the question deeply, where to go back to...? Chen Ke has not figured out the relationship between this place and the world he is in until now.

Chen Ke began to think wildly again. Now he has seen at least four worlds:

The original world, that was what Chen Ke thought a few weeks ago, the only world.

The world he is in now, the United Federation in 2009, has Nokia, PS3, and Walmart... but with strange psychic powers, it is a replica of the modern world.

The year 2006 that was gradually disappearing seemed to be connected to the world he was in now. It was a paradoxical doomsday...

The time of the Kingdom of Vanhede... was unknown, and time had stopped there. It didn't seem to be very big, and each area was closed by some kind of loop mechanism.

He couldn't figure out the connection between these worlds, and he couldn't completely control the power of the life portal, which made him a little irritated.

Chen Ke wanted to return to the world he existed before, but his ability to open the portal didn't have this ability.

The logic of opening the life portal was very simple. The destination to go to must be a place he had been to, and the destination to return to must have his things stored.

This was a bit general, and the details were not very detailed. If he could open the door and go again to the place he had been to, then why couldn't he go back to the original world? Why couldn't he go to Xiaoyao City in 2006?

Following this line of thought, Chen Ke found some clues.

After the portal ability took effect, it began to record the worlds that Chen Ke had traveled through, and only recognized Chen Ke's current body. Only the places that this body had been to could be included in the teleportation list.

But then, the world of Xiaoyao City, which can no longer be visited, doesn't make sense.

Could it be that the Life Countdown knew that the situation in Xiaoyao City was too dangerous, so it screened out this world...? If so, isn't the Kingdom of Vanhede dangerous...?

Chen Ke shook his head. He didn't believe that this ability was so smart. He preferred to believe that Xiaoyao City and Vanhede were completely different in nature. Obviously, Xiaoyao City in 2006 and Opportunity City in 2009 were contradictory...

Perhaps it was because of this nature that the portal thought that world did not exist...?

This seemed to make sense, but Chen Ke couldn't explain what the timeline of Xiaoyao City was. It was a world destined to perish, a disappeared past. If that past disappeared, there would inevitably be a new past to replace it, allowing time to continue...

Thinking of this, Chen Ke made a bold guess. Perhaps, the Xiaoyao City incident in 2006 did happen in this world...but there was some kind of power that changed history. Chen Ke's present was, it was hard to say, modified...

This statement was just Chen Ke's guess, and in order to make this statement valid, Chen Ke had to add two settings he had made up:

First, time can be modified!

Second, the timeline is unique!

Modifying time will not produce a new parallel world, because that would be meaningless, and it would be equivalent to creating a new world. The purpose of modifying history is to change one's own future, not to create a new future.

But Chen Ke had no way to prove that his two guesses were correct, so the above inferences about Xiaoyao City in 2006 were only inferences.

He didn't know what was going on in this world, and he wanted answers. If Chen Ke could guess these, then the big figures at the extraordinary level would probably also know about time travel.

The sky around him had completely darkened, and the random thoughts just now had unknowingly spent 30 minutes. The originally dark villa was shining with orange light from the window, and it seemed that there was someone inside.
