Nan Xizi shook her head. She had never seen it before, but it seemed familiar to her, perhaps she had seen it in a dream.
"Great! I thought I had robbed Sister Yuko's house."
Lingye: This is a joke, but it is also somewhat true.
There is no civilization on the moon, that is certain, and there are certainly no moon people - at least not now.
There may have been civilization in the past, but this "before" is not decades or hundreds of years ago. It is more than a billion years ago. When the moon's core had not yet cooled down and the moon was not yet a dead star.
No life can live for more than a billion years. Therefore, Nan Xizi is not a moon person.
She may be somewhat similar to Gaia.
However, Gaia is the planetary will of the Earth, while the planetary will of the Moon was annihilated when the Moon became a dead star. What has awakened now is the consciousness condensed by mankind's fantasy of the "Moon" for thousands of years, those prayers and hymns.
It is the heroic spirit of "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky", the poetic feeling of "The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises with the tide on the sea", and the longing of "The bright moon rises from the sea, and we share this moment across the world".
And there are the thousands of girls who have participated in the Qiqiao Festival over the past thousands of years, with their hesitations and fantasies, blessings and expectations.
So, her name is Yuko.
In terms of shape, it is called "moon", and in terms of time, it is called "evening". At the beginning of the birth of writing, evening and moon were originally the same character.
Princess Kaguya and Chang'e may both be referring to her.
A dining table appeared out of nowhere under the laurel tree, with black tea and desserts.
Kainaer's ability to materialize spiritual power is really useful. The ancient legends of "words come true" and "wishes come true", those abilities of gods, may all be stories passed down by the witch civilization.
A race that climbed to the fourth level of civilization along the direction of "materialization of spiritual power" was indeed worthy of being called a "god" in the eyes of ancient people.
"Would you mind having afternoon tea together?"
"of course."
Nan Xizi sat down under the laurel tree. She looked curiously at the Moon Palace, the laurel tree, the sea of flowers, and the gorgeous warship hovering over the sea of flowers.
"What are these? I seem to have seen them in a dream, but I can't remember clearly."
“It’s mankind’s fantasy about the moon.”
"Fantasy? So this place isn't real?"
"Real or imaginary, does it matter?"
Kainaer, wearing a maid outfit, came forward, poured black tea for Nan Xizi, and cut a small cake covered with cheese and blueberry jam.
The black tea is very fragrant and the cake tastes even more delicious, as soft as the clouds in the sky.
Nan Xizi chuckled. She found that reality and illusion were not that important.
To gods, this black tea, cake, and even the entire space are just illusions, but to humans, they are real.
Thinking in this way, it is not impossible that the whole world is fake.
What happened is real, the emotions are real, and that's enough.
Nan Xizi took off her TAC team uniform and was now wearing a white dress that suited her very well.
"Brother Beidou has been missing you."
"Ok, I know."
She had always known this. But really, she had reached her limit in terms of pretending to be human. Ace's light also began to repel her. When facing the Hippolytus, she was even unable to transform.
The problem is not Beidou, but her.
Ace had already discovered it, but he still tried to tolerate her. But Zoda discovered Ace's flaws, and she was that flaw. She was fake, so the light she carried would also be flawed.
She can no longer help Beidou, but only cause trouble. She is not a human being, not even a real life form. She can deceive others, but not herself.
Nan Xizi had to leave, even though she didn't have a home on the moon. The civilization on the moon had disappeared countless years ago.
"Is this really good?"
"Well, it's nice to just see them so energetic and healthy."
For Nan Xizi, her past experience of living as a human being was precious enough to be engraved in her heart for a long time.
"What about this time? The super beast this time can walk freely in the timeline. Sister Xizi, won't you go and help them? That time-space device doesn't seem very reliable."
When Ling saw Nan Xizi appear before, she thought she would provide greater help to the TAC team, but she only said a few words and told them some necessary information.
Just like the plot NPC in the game. I always feel a little sad.
Walking the timeline is definitely not an easy task.
There are many civilizations that can go back in time, and there are more than one way. Generally, when they reach the third level of civilization, they will find the corresponding method. However, there are almost no civilizations in the galaxy that want to truly master time and walk on the timeline.
Even a top civilization like the Kingdom of Light does not dare to travel to the past and the future at will.
Because time and events are asymmetrical.
The history we know is because it has been observed, so all possibilities collapse into only one.
But going back to the past, those possibilities still exist, and nothing is "predestined". So there are countless pasts and countless futures.
Ling is not quite sure what principle the space-time device mentioned by Dr. Kiji is based on, but the space-time 1200 years ago is not a fixed concept. There are countless space-times that can meet this condition.
Without exact coordinates, the probability of finding the place where Yoshimura and Noriko are located is no higher than winning the jackpot every time you buy lottery tickets a hundred times without any external interference.
Gaia can definitely find those two people because no matter which timeline they are in, they are on Earth.
She believed that Yuko could do it too, because they were her former comrades-in-arms. The friendship and cause and effect between them served as an anchor, which was enough for Nan Yuko to stroll upstream along the long river of time along the 1200 years and find them.
After all, Nan Xizi is also the Moon Goddess.
However, it is almost impossible to achieve this with human technology.
"It doesn't matter. Beidou will find them because he is Beidou Seiji."
In Lingye's opinion, Nan Xizi was a little heartless at this moment. Can the word that was too embarrassing to say and could only be replaced by "the moonlight is beautiful tonight" really make people blind?
But Nan Xizi really felt so.
You will never get lost if you follow the direction pointed by the Si Nan of the Big Dipper.
Nan Xizi has great confidence in Beidou. Not because he is Ace, but because he is Beidou Seiji. The fool Beidou Seiji who believes in everyone and still believes in others even when he is betrayed.
"And one more thing."
"what?"
"Sister Xizi, you said you are Earth's sister, right? Does that mean I am the elder sister?"
Now that you mention it, it seems so. Nan Xizi smiled and rubbed Lingye's head.
"Then wait until you grow up a little bit."
Team TAC ran into trouble when they were heading to the Haruki Space Science Institute.
"Dr. Haruki, what do you mean by unusable?"
"Captain Long, I understand your feelings. But our time-space device can only go back five years. Do you understand?"
"It's not like your oven where you can input any time. It's fixed at the moment. Through research, we made an unexpected discovery that we connected to a certain point in time and space five years ago. It's not like I can go further forward or further back by pressing a few buttons. Its anchor point is fixed. Time is not that simple."
"Besides, even with this fixed anchor point, we have only done animal experiments so far, a rabbit. You see, Captain Long, you are the captain of the TAC team, you must always be responsible for your team members. Humans are not rabbits, and this machine cannot deliver them."
"But two of our team members have been sent to ancient times." The person who spoke was not the captain, but Hokuto Seiji.
"They were in Nara 1200 years ago. There was also a super beast that roamed the timeline at will. Its name was Master Otaro, and it has become a myth circulating in our countryside."
The Ultra Beasts are changing history and becoming part of folklore, but their TAC team can't even find each other.
"I understand your feelings. But you should also understand that human science and technology are limited to this point, and it cannot be compensated by idealistic ideas such as bravery and sacrifice. Speaking of which, don't you still have Ultraman? The story you just told recorded that two messengers of God came to Nara and summoned a huge 'God' to destroy Master Otaro. Isn't that Ultraman?"
"So it's okay. Ultraman will help you defeat the Ultra Beast and rescue the two team members."
As long as it is something that humans can do, try your best to do it. However, if it is something that is truly impossible, it is not a shame to leave it to Ultraman.
I believe that the Giant of Light can understand that this is indeed beyond human capabilities and will not mind being dependent on humans.
Isn't it always like this in the past? When humans are powerless, Ultraman will appear.
Beidou also knows.
As Ace, he really didn't mind. But as a human, he still felt a little unwilling.
Until the end, Dr. Haruki did not agree to provide the time-space device.
As he said, it's an unfinished product and it doesn't allow people to travel through time.
To be more precise, its function is exile, exile to an unknown time and space that no one knows, and then you can never come back.
Back at the TAC team base, everyone was in a heavy mood.
【Come on, Beidou】
That’s right, it was indeed Nan Xizi. Even though they couldn’t fight together anymore, Nan Xizi was still there.
What should he do now?
Apart from transforming into Ace... no, there should be other ways, ways as a human being.
[Beidou, are you awake? How can a ship fly in the sky? ]
He suddenly thought of what Shan Zhong said, which was about the quantum super beast he encountered last year.
It turns out that the ship did fly in the sky. That time, Beidou was the only observer. What about this time?
Beidou suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and the noise scared everyone.
"What are you doing, Beidou? You're so startled!" The tea cups in the mountains were almost spilled.
"I wonder if we overestimated that super beast?"
"High opinion?"
"Dr. Haruki said that although we humans have developed a time-space device that can travel to the past, we can only travel to five years ago, not four years ago, nor six years ago. We can only move between two fixed coordinates."
Because that is the only anchor point that humans have discovered.
"What about the super beasts? We subconsciously think that the super beasts have mastered the ability to travel through time at will, because the super beasts are always high-tech and much more powerful than humans, but is this really the case?"
"Could it be that the Super Beast actually only has that one anchor point? The Super Beast can only travel between the time and space of Nara 1200 years ago and our time and space?"
Just point to point, not wandering through the long river of time.
