Chapter 217 Time Travel
The cleaning cabin on the lower level was dark.

At this moment, Wen Xishu had no idea how to move forward. After opening the door of the utility room, the Scorpio Knife lost its bonfire effect.

Scorpio didn't know where he went.

But Wen Xishu could feel that his body already had the ability to rewind.

Because he heard a hint.

Please set the return node.

In other words, once a node is set up, it can be returned immediately.

Wen Xishu can only set one node.

He thought about the location of this node and it was now.

So at this moment, Wen Xishu set up a return node, that is, to save the archive. After doing all this, Wen Xishu began to move forward cautiously in the darkness.

After walking for a while, Wen Xishu saw a staircase and some light came from above the stairs.

But at this time, the radio also sounded.

"The sea monster has begun to attack. Everyone, hide back in the cabin."

Everything is very similar to the Ghost Tower.

Wen Xishu felt that the huge ark was also shaken by the super tsunami caused by the giant beast in the sea of ​​evil.

Wen Xishu stood steadily, thinking about what to do next.

"Should I get out the compass?"

He was not sure whether the compass would be useful if the Scorpio Blade was suppressed. But just when Wen Xishu was about to find a direction.

Wen Xishu suddenly heard a voice.

"Hide back in the first room. Von Neumann is here."

Wen Xishu had heard this voice before. He was startled and became completely alert. He immediately did as he was told and retreated silently back to the utility room and closed the door again.

The game has begun, and Sirius's escape plan has officially started. The voice Wen Xishu heard was none other than Sirius's.

This greatly excited him.

There were footsteps outside the door. It was the footsteps of von Neumann, the Ark's number one ability user.

As the most powerful person on the Ark, he, along with Sirius, was enslaved by the captain using the sequence.

More than anyone else, von Neumann was a weapon through and through.

Whenever the sea monster appeared, von Neumann would go to the outskirts of the prison where Sirius was located to prevent Sirius from escaping.

Even at this time, Sirius had lost many concepts, and his will to resist had become increasingly weak.

When von Neumann walked by, Wen Xishu could clearly feel...

That terrifying feeling of super oppression, whose strength might even be greater than Xun Hui's.

There are too many ruthless people on the Ark. It's like a small bunker.

There are not only wise generals like Horn, but also generals with both wisdom and courage like Renault, and super strong men with unfathomable strength like von Neumann.

Wen Xishu held his breath. Only then did he hear a voice saying:

"He's gone."

Wen Xishu asked in a low voice:
"Are you Sirius?"

"Yes, Wen Xishu, I am Sirius." said the voice.

Wen Xishu originally wanted to ask, how could Sirius's voice appear in his mind? But soon, Wen Xishu discovered the problem.

The bulkhead became flesh.

When in the Weird Tower, Wen Xishu learned a piece of information that if they did not enter the island - the fragments of the evil land, the monsters of the evil sea would attack the Ark.

At a certain stage, many ordinary people on the Ark will enter a state of hallucination and see the cabin walls made of flesh and blood.

And now, the flesh and blood transformation has really arrived. Some protruding nerve endings have appeared on the flesh and blood cabin walls, connecting with Wen Xishu's body.

So much so that Wen Xishu could hear Sirius' voice directly appearing in his mind.

"I have established a link with you."

"Do you know me? This link allows you to read my data?" Wen Xishu asked back.

"No, I don't know you now, but I will know you in the future. In the future, you teamed up with Horn to save my most important island... an island that symbolizes free will. I thank you."

Sirius' words surprised Wen Xishu.

But everything had actually been deduced by Wen Xishu and Horn. But even so, Wen Xishu still planned to listen to Sirius' explanation.

"How did you do it?" Wen Xishu said.

Sirius began to explain:
"I am imprisoned in the prison of time turbulence. In other words, even if my will is free... I still have to face the time cage of Pisces."

"But after facing the time turbulence alone for so long... I have figured out part of the structure of the time turbulence, although only part of it."

"You can understand that I was imprisoned for so long that I was able to study part of the prison's structural diagram."

“I know how to find the right timeline to see my future.”

"Not long ago, I discovered that my future is no longer hopeless... It's strange. Logically, the preview of the future seen by Pisces can only be broken by people from the land of evil, except for the zodiac."

"But my future was shattered. I was supposed to become a slave of Pisces, but I woke up and was saved."

"But in the more distant future... my rescue was only a possibility, and this possibility was corrected by the Time Walker, causing everything to return to the way it was at the beginning."

"Generally speaking, the process has changed, but the result has not. But for me, the emergence of someone who can change the process is already a miracle."

"Wen Xishu, I guess the miracle is not Horn, but you."

Wen Xishu thought about it for a while and understood.

The current Sirius has found the correct timeline and can see a stage of the future through the timeline.

In one phase of the future, Sirius became a slave.

But not long ago, because of his efforts in the Ghost Tower, he and Horn teamed up to break the impasse, which led to a change in the future.

But the further future of the second stage did not change, because the time traveler quickly corrected the first stage of the future.

But for Sirius, a stage of future change is an incredible miracle.

"Please continue." Wen Xishu said.

Sirius continued:
"My ability is a very advanced three-tower sequence ability called World Creation."

“I can create some real worlds that are related to my spirit. These worlds exist, but are difficult to reach. And they have all kinds of strange rules.”

"Including... the rotting flesh and blood you saw in the cabin. These actually symbolize that my will is beginning to be polluted."

"Every time a sea monster invades, I will create an illusion at the appropriate time, allowing many people to see the cabin wall turn from metal to flesh and blood."

"But in fact, it's not just an illusion. I can also make the real cabin become flesh and blood. Do you understand?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"continue."

Sirius said:
"So at this moment, the rotting flesh and blood that others see is an illusion, but what you see is real."

"And my mental state at this moment is the mental state I will be in after being rescued by you and Horn in the future... In short, the me in the future timeline and the me in the present timeline... have swapped places."

"The time walkers haven't discovered this yet, but they will eventually find out. We only have twelve hours... So, Wen Xishu, the help I can give you is also only twelve hours."

"To be exact, there are only eleven hours left." This is consistent with the countdown time on the invitation letter. Wen Xishu understood.

It’s like, today’s Sirius is in a daze, but with one’s own efforts, tomorrow’s Sirius will be sober.

Sirius, who knows the structure of time turbulence, crawled from tomorrow's timeline to today, threw today's confused self into tomorrow, and the self who was originally in tomorrow returned to today.

When the Time Walkers review it, they will subconsciously feel that there will be no changes on Sirius tomorrow, after all, it is still in a daze.

But in fact, in the present and in the future, Sirius in different states has been switched.

Wen Xishu had to admit that Sirius was very courageous.

"I understand. What should I do?"

Sirius said:
"Great, you are indeed Horn's friend. It's really easy to talk to you. Next, I want to tell you about time turbulence."

"Turbulence is actually a kind of maze. You will enter many different time nodes, and at some nodes, very terrifying beings will appear."

"For example... you might see the battlefield of the Three Towers War. That's too far away for you at this stage."

"I will help you find the escape point of each turbulence."

“You need to constantly avoid the dangerous enemies in each time turbulence, and then find the correct timeline through the escape point…”

Wen Xishu summarized:
"I need to travel from the present to the future... and then continue to go through various outrageous futures before returning to the present?"

Sirius exclaimed:

"Yes, that's right. Ordinary prisons have complex spatial structures, but Pisces' prisons have simple spatial structures, but complex temporal structures."

"No, to be exact, both are complicated. Because time is complicated, space is also complicated."

"Time turbulence. I only understood half of its structure, but I was enslaved by the captain before I had time to study the remaining half."

"So, if there are some time turbulences, I can attach myself to you through flesh and blood and tell you how to deal with them."

"But there are some time turbulences... I don't know how to solve them. Also - don't be obsessed with changing the future, Wen Xishu, it's very dangerous."

"Finally, after you pass through layers of time turbulence, you will eventually come to the present time and the space close to the prison, and then find my real body... I will do my best to make the sea monster fight to the death. With the help of the huge chaos, you will lead me to escape from the Ark."

"Remember, at this stage, you are no match for von Neumann, Renault, and the Captain. They are too strong for you now."

"Don't even think about fighting them head-on."

Wen Xishu understood.

In other words, the difficulty this time lies in time travel.

It may appear in a few years, or even hundreds or decades later... No one can tell.

But you must find an escape in every turbulent scene, and then keep getting closer to the current timeline. Finally, find Sirius and rescue him.

And all this must be completed within twelve hours.

This task is still very compact.

Interestingly, the starting point and end point of this mission are very close.

The location of the end point is to return to the current timeline and be close to the prison in space.

Wen Xishu is now in the current timeline. In terms of location, although not how close to the prison he is, he is at least on the Ark.

So you must take the right route. Otherwise, even though the starting point and the end point are very close, you may end up...

Instead, it's getting farther and farther away.

"The sea monster has begun to attack. At this time, the second-ranked person in the Ark has already started to fight against the sea monster."

"Although von Neumann is guarding the prison, he is only outside the prison. The prison is full of time turbulence..."

"I am also wrapped in the turbulence. Therefore, only by entering the turbulence can I find a way to enter the cage I am in."

"Let's start now, Wen Xishu. If it's you, I believe... you will create a miracle again."

"Next, I'll open the door for you."

Wen Xishu originally thought that the so-called opening the door meant opening the door of the utility room.

But no, as the power of Sirius emerged-

Wen Xishu discovered that there was a hole in the wall made of rotten flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood was shrinking, and a hole appeared on the wall, leading to somewhere.

Next, this rotten flesh and blood began to pave the road.

A road was built for Wen Xishu to reach the turbulent area of ​​the prison where there was no road.

"Keep quiet. Von Neumann is very strong. Even if I were in my prime, I wouldn't have been able to get away with it."

Is this evaluation too high?

Wen Xishu thought to himself, you are a demigod, you and Ding Dong, one can create all kinds of god-level items, and the other can create all kinds of god-level scenes.

Who knows, there might be some that can create god-level life.

You guys are only weaker than those twelve...

But I didn’t expect that von Neumann could be on par with Sirius at his peak?

Although Wen Xishu was shocked, he listened to the advice and exerted the power of Long Yin to the extreme without leaving any sound.

In fact, Wen Xishu really wanted to ask——

"Did you hear my conversation with Scorpio by the campfire?"

But he didn't ask in the end.

He guessed Sirius heard it.

But Sirius still made his choice.

It means being enslaved and not being free, and being used as a tool of Pisces to block a certain area.

Or live freely and be killed by Scorpio in the end. I guess Sirius has chosen the latter.

Wen Xishu also respects this choice.

Soon, Wen Xishu stopped.

He saw the scene ahead. The passage made of rotting flesh and blood was actually very dark. But there was light ahead.

Those lights and shadows present many faces of the world.

It's like countless mirages mixed together.

"We're here. Wen Xishu. Next, I will let my flesh and blood attach to you. It will tell you the location of the escape point in some scenes that I am familiar with."

"But in those scenes that I'm not familiar with... you have to find the escape point yourself. In fact, you have props that are very suitable for passing through these turbulent currents."

"But remember, it's very dangerous in the turbulence. On the battlefield of the Three Towers War, there is a lot of intelligence that you think is valuable. Don't pay too much attention to that intelligence, because... once you are exposed, you may die in those timelines."

"You may also see the future of some of your old friends. Don't be sad or happy about their future. Take Horn for example. After all, you have the opportunity to change everything. You can change my future, which means... in Pisces' preview, you are the variable, so don't lose the big picture for the small. Respect the fate of others."

"Remember, stealth and concealment are the keys to success."

"Once we alert the Time Walker, we're doomed."

Wen Xishu nodded, and after remembering every word of Sirius in his mind, his eyes became firm. After taking a deep breath, he entered the turbulent area.

Time node 01, the first time travel - start.
