Chapter 221 Successfully Rescued Sirius
Albert said:
"It's okay to tell you, but you have to remember that although you have two chances to launch a general mobilization, the first one is now."
Wen Xishu silently took note of these words, as if he had thought of something.
Albert continued:
"The reason why everyone is here is because the guide told you that this is a mission you cannot complete alone."
Wen Xishu was slightly moved after hearing this:
"It's actually related to the guide... Could it be an invitation letter from that constellation?"
Albert laughed:
"You actually guessed it right. Yes, it's a zodiac invitation. Logically, you should have received one by now."
Wen Xishu did not deny that he now had an invitation letter from Gemini in his hand.
Because without realizing it, I always inexplicably increase my favorability towards Gemini.
Although I have a good relationship with Scorpio, it seems that only Gemini is the best match for me.
Wen Xishu looked back on his journey and found it easy to meet pairs of qualified people.
Jack and Jennifer, An Yuxuan and An Jincheng, Akiyama Yuki and Morita Hitomi...
In short, with the help of these coincidences or the push of fate, Wen Xishu and these constellations...
The first zodiac sign to reach the "friendly" level is Gemini.
This also led to Wen Xishu receiving a special gift after he cleared the Desire Tower last time - "Gemini's invitation".
Wen Xishu said:
"So... this is how the zodiac sign invitation works? Could it be that Scorpio is inviting me this time?"
Albert doesn't care about spoilers:
"Yes, you got the second zodiac invitation, which is the invitation from Scorpio. This is also the first invitation you activated. You never activated the one from Gemini."
"It's because you knew something that you couldn't tell us, which caused you to hesitate to use the invitation letter."
"Although I'm curious, you're my fellow traveler and I respect your choice."
This gave Wen Xishu a lot of information. Why did he dare to activate Scorpio's invitation letter but not Gemini's invitation letter?
What did he know? How did he know it? Could it be that he knew it because of this time turbulence?
But since it was not clear at the moment, Wen Xishu did not dwell on it. He immediately changed the subject and thought about the invitation letter.
Wen Xishu said:
"Scorpio's invitation is actually to fight against Leo?"
Albert laughed: "Hahahaha, very challenging, right? This is really a very challenging battle. I am looking forward to what will happen next."
Wen Xishu was speechless.
He didn't know the specific circumstances of Scorpio's invitation, of course, he could also ask Albert.
But it seems that there is no need to ask, just trust your future self.
At present, the situation should be okay.
But this time, challenging Leo...he did feel like Scorpio was treating him like a Japanese.
What did I do in the beginning?
Oh, I first boarded the Ark to save Sirius, but under Scorpio's arrangement, I ended up challenging Pisces.
Now I see the future in the turbulent time of Pisces, and under the arrangement of Scorpio, I see the future me challenging Leo...
Do you really think I am a master key?
Albert found it very interesting:
"This is the first time I've encountered such a powerful enemy. It seems that even if I try my best, it will be difficult to defeat him. I almost met him in front."
"But it doesn't mean we can't win. After all, this isn't a true duel."
Wen Xishu didn't expect that the old principal's true strength could be so strong.
"In Scorpio's chessboard, there are some terrains that have geographical advantages. With the help of geographical advantages, people and timing... it may be possible to defeat Leo. But specifically, it depends on how you play this game."
"But right now, we need to transport you out."
Wen Xishu was curious:
"Old Principal, what type of chess piece do you play?"
Albert said:
"king."
Wen Xishu was slightly surprised, but seemed to think it was reasonable.
If you were to allocate the functions of the chess pieces yourself... then it would be reasonable to make Albert, the most powerful chess piece, the king.
"Leo is also a king. The two kings haven't met yet. Currently, they are fighting each other with the king chess pieces. Leo has been looking for me. Hahahahahaha, but in the future you, don't dare to let me meet him easily."
"My moves were quite cunning, making Leo chase me but unable to find me."
"It's like he doesn't know now that a chess piece like me, who has such strong attack and killing abilities, is here to break out of the prison instead of occupying territory."
Wen Xishu knew that he had become a burden now:
"Will my presence have a big impact on the outcome?"
"I don't know, but you have to survive. Next, I will escort you to your escape point. We don't need two of you in this game." Albert said.
Wen Xishu certainly believed that there would be no danger after meeting the old principal.
He didn't know how powerful Mr. Jin was, but in his opinion, Albert was the real number one person under the constellation.
"So this is a real space?" Wen Xishu was very curious.
Albert nodded:
"Yes, this huge chessboard was created by a certain being, and then it was injected with game rules, and finally became the stage for challenging Leo."
Wen Xishu didn't say anything.
But Sirius' sigh appeared in his mind.
In fact, both of them guessed the answer -
The mission this time is to help Sirius escape from prison with the help of Scorpio.
For Sirius, it is like escaping from Pisces' conspiracy and having to fall into Scorpio's calculations.
Therefore, this huge chessboard might even have been created by Sirius, except that the mastermind behind it was Scorpio.
"It seems like a lot of people are coveting your ability, this ability to create scenes..."
Wen Xishu sighed.
Soon, Albert received instructions for action, and Albert's action bar was filled up.
"The other party is not stupid. They will definitely guess that I am here to break into the prison for a very important person."
"Let's go."
Wen Xishu only felt that the scene around him began to change constantly.
He was quite familiar with this feeling.
After about ten seconds, the surrounding scene finally stopped changing wildly and returned to calm.
What appeared before Wen Xishu was a church.
Albert occupied the church and the church changed from red to blue.
This also means that Albert defeated the priest here.
However, due to incompatible characteristics... the church cannot provide the occupier with the church's special attributes.
But it doesn’t matter. Even without the advantage of geographical location, Albert can easily defeat the original owner of the church.
"This is it, go and start your journey."
Wen Xishu always felt that no matter what, from the information he had obtained, Leos were extremely powerful...
Now that the old principal has appeared, there will inevitably be a showdown with Leo.
"I really want to see the ending before I leave." Wen Xishu sighed.
Albert understood what this meant:
"Hahahahaha, if we win, you can go without worry. If we lose... are you planning on not using that invitation?"
"Hahahahahaha, there's no such thing as something so cheap."
Wen Xishu nodded.
Albert shook his head and said:
"Have you ever thought that Scorpio's invitation was not activated without your knowledge, but with your knowledge."
"When you pass through these time nodes, your future self will already have these memories..."
"But even so, he decided to open the invitation."
"In other words, your future self knew the content of the invitation letter. It was Scorpio who asked you to fight Leo. But you still turned it on."
"This means that the future is not as hopeless as you think. Or... Leo, you have to fight. Maybe not because of Scorpio, but because of someone else."
“I hope that one day in the future, when you reach this point, you will not be cowardly.”
Wen Xishu was silent. If there was an enemy that he had to fight, then his character would indeed destroy the enemy at all costs.
Wen Xishu finally nodded:
"I see."
Albert waved his hand:
"Take your mission and leave quickly. I believe you will not let us fail here."
Although it is clear that the old principal is very strong, he is a Leo...
Wen Xishu did not leave decisively.
But in the end, guided by the compass, he found the exit in the church.
Before leaving, Wen Xishu glanced at Albert.
The old principal’s back is very tall, like the backbone of an era.
……
……
Confused thoughts emerged in my mind.
The tides, the roars of sea beasts, the huge feeling of oppression... all made Wen Xishu feel uncomfortable.
After going through several nodes, although the next few nodes all had risks... Wen Xishu was always able to arrive safely.
"Don't let your guard down." Came Sirius' voice.
Wen Xishu certainly did not let his guard down.
In fact, none of the first few nodes were easy to get through.
If he wasn't Wen Xishu, if the person who tried to take Sirius out of prison was someone else -
Then even the first three nodes, each one is extremely dangerous.
I won’t talk about the first one. The second one is related to Windy City. But at that time, Windy City had only a one in six chance of choosing the right path to Windy City. Even if you chose the right one…
If it were anyone else, Windy City might not be open to them.
As for the third node——
It was even more abnormal. If you didn't know Nissen, then normally, Nissen's characteristics would be so well matched with the prison guard...
I will definitely not give up the prison.
If it were anyone else, they would have melted away in prison.
Wen Xishu is indeed like a variable outside of time, turning danger into safety along the way.
This is indeed the case. Wen Xishu keeps moving forward and entering one escape point after another.
He was getting closer and closer to Sirius's body, and closer and closer to the original timeline...
In the following process, Wen Xishu experienced several different starts. In addition to the "food" at the beginning, the "exiles" in the second round, and the "prisoners" in the third round, Wen Xishu also experienced the "killer", "stalker", "disguiser" and other nodes.
A timeline where you need to kill a specific target in order to escape.
A timeline where one needs to sneak around without being seen in order to escape.
A timeline where one needs to disguise themselves and blend into the weirdness in order to escape... These timeline nodes are also full of dangers, but Wen Xishu passed them all one by one.
In these timelines, Wen Xishu did not meet any acquaintances and the information he obtained was very limited, but he was successful in the end.
Sirius could also feel... that he was very close to that timeline.
In the subsequent time nodes, some nodes that Sirius is familiar with have appeared. These are the nodes that he figured out by himself during the process of imprisonment.
In other words, the jailbreak route has reached the second half.
The first half was opened up by Wen Xishu himself, while the second half was familiar to Sirius.
With the cooperation of the two, they broke through several nodes in succession.
But just when Wen Xishu and Sirius thought they were about to complete their prison break and end this long journey -
Variables appeared.
The ninth node.
When Wen Xishu opened his eyes again, he heard the roar of sea beasts, the tides, and the huge sense of oppression from von Neumann.
That feeling made Wen Xishu feel extremely familiar.
Just like when it all started.
"How did we end up back here?"
Utility room.
There is still some warmth left after the Scorpio Sword turned into a bonfire.
This is what Scorpio looks like right after he leaves.
Wen Xishu was shocked. Sirius was also a little surprised.
"How is this going?"
Sirius was puzzled. Logically speaking, after Wen Xishu had traveled through so many nodes that he didn't know about, he should have traveled to a node that he knew about next.
But now, Wen Xishu is back to square one.
The time-based ghost wall?
Wen Xishu remembered that Sirius once said that a time node might cause someone to be trapped on the same day...
Could it be that the series of journeys just now were actually a maze?
When you think you can bypass Pisces' maze, little do you know that Pisces has designed a bigger maze waiting for you.
Sirius said:
"I can sense that although the paths are completely different... you were very close to my body when you finished the last node. Next, we just need to lead him away."
"But now, we are back to square one. Is it the Time Walker who is making corrections?"
Sirius' voice appeared in Wen Xishu's mind. Wen Xishu could hear that Sirius didn't know what the current situation was.
Even Wen Xishu and Sirius had a feeling, have they really taken the first step?
Maybe the previous series of nodes... are just some kind of illusion?
Appearing in the original position again, the original safe zone, the original cabin storage room, the rhythm of the two was completely disrupted.
Wen Xishu knew that he couldn't speak now because von Neumann's pressure was too strong.
This person's strength is definitely above that of Senior Xun Hui, and can even be compared with the five elders.
At this stage, Wen Xishu didn't dare to provoke such an existence.
Wen Xishu also immediately remembered...
He also has another ability, which is to reload the saved game. This is the power given to him by Scorpio. If he encounters a danger that he cannot solve, he can choose to reload the saved game to deal with it.
That is to return to the starting point.
At this moment, Wen Xishu felt like he had reloaded a game and returned to the starting point.
But this is not a file read.
Wen Xishu was sure something went wrong.
"Oh no, could it be that the time has exceeded twelve hours? No... that's not right."
Wen Xishu was even wondering whether he should use the ability to load the game and start over again.
"Wen Xishu, we have to continue. No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Even though we're back to the starting point... we still have to keep looking for an escape point."
"Let's go to the time turbulence area."
Now that we are back to the starting point, we can only start all over again.
At the beginning, Wen Xishu was under the guidance of Sirius, using Sirius's flesh and blood to clear a path, and then entered the time turbulence.
Now Sirius also intends to do the same. But Sirius' words also immediately reminded Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu suddenly realized that this was a trap:
"Sirius, don't move, don't use your power! Stay quiet! This is all an illusion! We didn't encounter any problems along the way! All of them were correct choices, there was no need to reload the save file, and we didn't experience a time loop!"
Because he was attached to Wen Xishu, even if Wen Xishu just moved his lips and made almost no sound, Sirius knew what he was saying.
Wen Xishu smiled again:
“We’re not back to square one… We’re just back to a place that looks a lot like square one.”
"They are the same place in space, but completely different in time."
"Pisces has evil intentions and deliberately created this scene to try to deceive us... If we enter the time turbulence from here, it will definitely alarm the time traveler."
"This is not the origin, but the timeline of about a few minutes after we left the origin!"
Sirius didn't understand what was going on at first, but he soon figured it out.
All the previous nodes are timelines long into the future.
But this time the timeline is a few hours... or even a few minutes later.
So at first glance, I thought I was back to square one.
But in fact, they are still at a certain time point.
Wen Xishu took out the compass again.
Sure enough, the compass needle did not point to the time turbulence, but to the opposite direction.
At this moment, Wen Xishu was sure... that he was really close to Sirius's real body.
Just break through Pisces's illusion.
Sirius was also very excited, for he knew that once he was free, Scorpio would target him.
But it is better than losing your own will and becoming a slave of Pisces.
Wen Xishu began to move carefully. In the end, he did not alarm the super powerful von Neumann.
Soon, Wen Xishu arrived at the escape point, which was the end of a ventilation duct above the utility room.
After a close call, Wen Xishu saw through Shuangyu's malicious plan and finally entered the tenth node.
……
I forgot how many times I opened my eyes, but this time, Wen Xishu came to the most forbidden place in the Ark——
Inside the prison where Sirius is imprisoned.
The scene before him made Wen Xishu feel a little embarrassed.
Sirius' flesh and blood continued to spread, as if merging with the cell.
His feet were no longer visible... like roots in the soil, except that they were rooted in the prison of the Ark.
Sirius' eyes were closed.
But soon, the flesh and blood of Sirius attached to Wen Xishu was transferred back to Sirius' body...
The sleeping Sirius began to wake up.
The flesh and blood that was spreading around also began to slowly shrink at this moment.
Sirius, who had originally blended in with the environment, actually slowly returned to human form.
When Sirius' transformation was finally complete, he raised his head and said:
"Wen Xishu, thank you. I finally got my complete self back."
Wen Xishu has also been waiting for this sentence. This journey is too long.
It can be said that it was the joint efforts of him, Horn, and Sirius that finally helped Sirius find himself again.
First, Wen Xishu and Horn created the future, allowing Sirius to regain his free will in the future.
Sirius in the future, after awakening his free will, used the turbulence of time to temporarily return to the past and exchanged his will with his past self.
But this kind of exchange is short-term. After twelve hours, if he cannot escape the time turbulence... everything will be corrected.
Fortunately, at this time, with the help of the invitation letter, the variable Wen Xishu appeared in the cabin.
Therefore, Sirius decided to bet everything on Wen Xishu, guiding Wen Xishu through the turbulence of time and taking him away without anyone noticing.
But this process is dangerous because Sirius only knows half of the solution to time turbulence.
Fortunately, Wen Xishu has already made up the remaining half with his own abilities.
In other words, the road to prison escape has been paved through the efforts of the two.
At this time, Wen Xishu had also reached the deepest part of the prison and found the real body of Sirius who was trying to escape.
Next, Wen Xishu needs to take Sirius's real body away.
Leave along the previous turbulence of time, and go the same way you came.
Before this, Sirius could only have a small piece of flesh and blood attached to Wen Xishu.
By establishing a link with Wen Xishu, he can also make the bulkhead flesh and blood to clear the way for Wen Xishu.
But that was all he could do; he couldn't use these abilities to move his body.
Because once the main body leaves, it will alarm the strong people in the Ark.
If he wants to leave here, he must take his body with him.
This is also Sirius' dilemma.
"Once my true body and you enter the time turbulence... my presence will disappear."
"Von Neumann, Captain, everyone will notice that my presence no longer exists."
"Because you and I have entered the turbulence of time and space. We are no longer in this time and space."
"At this time, they must be very confused. In their opinion, although I still have the will to resist, I will never dare to escape from prison."
"Based on my understanding of them, they don't dare to rashly enter the depths of the prison. After all, there is time turbulence here, but they may impose martial law..."
"If we can create a riot outside at this time to attract their attention from the martial law, most importantly, we can lure away super powers like von Neumann..."
"Then we can go back to the utility room. I can use my ability to clear a path with my flesh and blood, and then use the sea beast to escape. I can hide inside the sea beast and regain my freedom."
Obviously, Sirius already has a complete plan, and this plan is feasible.
But the only question is, how to cause a riot?
Wen Xishu immediately thought of Horn.
"There is no problem with your escape plan, but we need someone to help...that person is called Horn."
"I need you to get in touch with Horn. I have a way for Horn to help me."
"And...I want to take Horn with me."
Sirius said:
"no problem."
The contracted flesh and blood expanded again, and Sirius began to connect with the entire Ark again.
The flesh and blood took root in the bulkhead of the Ark...and soon, like information transmitted in the nerves, it covered every corner of the ship at high speed.
At this moment, Horn, who was sitting in a wheelchair and in hallucination, suddenly woke up.
