Chu Si originally prepared the Golden Crow and the others for a day of

digestion, but he didn't expect that he would eventually wrap himself in the

crowd who needed to be digested.

However, he is always rational in major matters, and he is not the first to

respond to such sudden events, so he digests and sorts out quickly. When he

came out of the medical cabin, his complexion was as usual, as if he knew

everything in the first place.

What he didn't expect was that the group of Golden Crow digested equally

quickly.

After a full meal, they cleaned themselves up, and then gathered one after

another in the management center where Truth and Sae Young are located, and

went straight to the subject and asked, "So what do you need us to do?"

When asked this sentence, their tone was not friendly.

Truth did not answer these words immediately. He looked at them quietly and

said: "I explained to you before that the reason why Sae Young and I appeared

here at this age is because of the grid process. We believe that this kind of

accident is caused by too many unexpected factors. The less the interference,

the more likely the grid process will succeed."

He paused and said, "So obviously, I need you to come with me to minimize the

interference of accidental factors and ensure the smooth progress of the grid

process. But the final decision is still in your own hands. "

The Golden Crows all showed a suspicious look, and they didn't seem to believe

Truth's last words.

"You don't need to look at me like this." Chu Stanran said, "I admit that if

your decision is contrary to my expectations, I will be very sorry, and I will

not be happy to go anywhere. I have countless kinds of coercive measures that

can force me. Nodding your heads, I am actually very dictatorial when needed.

But today, at least in this matter, I do not intend to adopt any coercive

measures.

"At the beginning, the experimental team did not ask your wishes and made you

the results of the experiment. Now everything should be over. I think you

should have the opportunity to choose, otherwise there is no essential

difference between me and those on the experimental team. Up."

The group of people were silent for a moment, and one of them suddenly

laughed, and said half-heartedly: "What you said just now is also playing an

emotional card, isn't it? That is actually a kind of mental pressure."

"Of course." Truss nodded without shy and calmly said: "I'm just trying to

persuade you, because I have expectations. I hope you can do what I want. This

is how anyone can do everything. Some psychological tendencies do not need to

be concealed or modified. As for the unaffected, it still lies with you."

Perhaps it was because he was too calm, but there was a natural impetus.

Perhaps it was the gray wolf Set and the others when they re-introduced

themselves, the silent gaze of these people was not just pure silence.

Or maybe it was a certain other scene or a certain sentence that touched the

people present. So after thinking for a moment, they nodded like this—

"I don't mind going with you."

"It doesn't matter."

...

The speed at which they agreed to come down was a little bit faster than

expected, as if they were not making a major decision, just a simple effort.

What's more surprising is that this doesn't mean how friendly their tone is.

Some even nod their heads and even have a slight look on their faces.

Impatience.

The way they make decisions, at first glance, is like going out and bringing

them to the door.

Truth thought they were too casual at first, but then he thought about it, if

such a thing fell on Sae Young, with his personality, it might take less than

two seconds to make a decision.

This may be the generality of these experimental products, and the special

physique makes things big and small in their eyes. This kind of personality

makes them seem dangerous and difficult in many cases, but at this time, it's

a good thing.

Now that there is agreement on the results, there is no need to waste time.

Ding--

The Sky Eye spoke after a series of operation instructions: "The location of

the target Fort Bani has been confirmed, the protective cover has been opened,

and it is fully connected, ready to jump."

"The countdown counts down for 5 seconds. 5——4——3——The early transition

succeeded."

"The location of the target Barney Fort has been changed, the second

confirmation has been completed, the protective cover is opened, and the jump

is ready."

"The transition was successful."

"The location of the target Barney Fort has been confirmed three times--"

"The transition was successful."

...

The voyage was exceptionally smooth. The only episode was a confrontation

between wanderers when passing by the boundary of the alpha star area.

Chus and the others didn't pay attention to the time and space they were in,

and they didn't want to intervene, but at the moment they passed by, the

besieged wanderers suddenly cut into their public channel forcibly, with a

young voice full of gangster He tried his luck and shouted: "My friend, don't

watch the excitement when you pass by, please do me a favor!"

This sentence coincides with a previous wartime episode. At that time, Truss

used this sentence to let Carlos Black take his brothers into the aircraft to

join the battle. Now that he heard this sentence, it is naturally impossible

to be indifferent.

He didn't know who the young wanderer was, but he didn't mind intervening to

help others when he said that.

The wanderers besieging that man are not few, but under the firepower of the

space prison and one hundred black swan combat aircraft, they are still not

enough to see.

The process was not even considered a "battle", and the group of wanderers

immediately retreated when the momentum was wrong.

Truth and the others didn't delay much, as silently and simply as when they

came, they put on the jump shield after regaining the firepower. At the moment

of the transition, the young voice of the besieged tramp resounded again in

the communication channel, smiling and energetic: "Thank you friend, there

will be some time later."

There will be a period later.

Nameless friends.

...

Nearly two hours later, they finally appeared from the transition point in the

Fort Barney area and landed on that piece of land.

Truss temporarily handed the rebels under control to the Gray Wolf Set and the

group of Gray Wolf Setters, and he and Sae Young took the Golden Crow and the

group into the black swan. Before leaving, Sae Young unceremoniously The core

plate of the main body of the Sky Eye was also removed and taken away with

him.

The metal collision sound of the loosening of the grasping rope and the sound

of the roller retracting the long chain continued one after another. The black

swan hoop around the space prison re-lifted, forming a formation amidst

countless connections and buckling sounds, with full churn. The rising wind

dashed across the sky and sank into the vast sea of stars again.

Under the simultaneous driving of Sae Young, the Black Swan Group accurately

found the entrance of the space-time curve.

In the buzzing sound, the bright blue protective cover suddenly fully opened,

reflecting the large starry sky, and the hundreds of black swans jumped

instantly and all entered the winding path.

The tremors and bumps in the tracks are much stronger than any jumps. Even if

you wear protective clothing, you can feel the tearing sensation that is about

to fall on the flesh. Truth and Sae Young have experienced it, so the reaction

is good, but the Golden Crow and their faces are a bit ugly.

It's not that they can't bear this degree of discomfort, but this feeling may

remind them of the days they used to spend in the experimental cabin.

But even so, no one temporarily repented and said to leave, but the look of

impatience became heavier.

This time, the black swan did not fold halfway, and successfully reached the

apron at the end of the curve. Hundreds of aircraft landed swiftly, and the

sound of the operation gradually stopped. The entire underground space was

quiet again, and only a little white light at the end of the long track was

faintly visible.

"I just watched the time." When everyone was walking on the track, Sae Young

tilted his head and said to Chus, "Guess when?"

Truth thought for a while and said, "There is a problem with the grid program.

When did we pass out in the middle of the track?"

Sae Young laughed, "That's right."

Everything is like a huge circle, after a long journey, it loops back to the

original point again.

In the huge underground space, perhaps because of the cold and white light, it

makes people feel a bit gloomy, and even words will have some faint echoes.

This is the first time Truth truly stood in this space, and the first time he

really saw those huge connected complex devices. This confrontation has paved

the way for decades, and has continued for decades, spanning two generations,

and now it is finally about to come to an end.

They passed by those single cockpits, most of them were locked, and the

transparent cover was covered with frost. Jiang Qi and the others should be

sitting in it. Truth tried several times, but failed to open the cockpit to

take a look.

Inside these cockpits, there is a transparent cylindrical monitoring booth

with instrument screens inside, but there is a person lying slantingly and

slantingly inside.

Chu Si stepped forward to look at the man, frowned and said, "Master Shao."

He probed the old man's breath and heartbeat, and immediately recruited Sae

Young to come over and put the old man flat on the ground, raising his neck.

After a series of skilled first aid measures were completed, the old man woke

up with a panting, but his eyes were still a bit unable to open.

"This state can't continue to stare at the grid process." Truth said, "The

body will collapse."

Sae Young thought for a while and wanted to stand up, and took out the core

plate of the main body of the sky eye, flipped it in his hand, raised his

eyebrows and asked him for credit: "Then try this?"

"Sky Eye?" Chu Si was a little worried, "Are you sure it can do?"

"In any case, there will be no better choice. This thing has been upgraded

anyway, and can independently design a plan to stimulate the frozen capsule.

It should not be a big problem to stare at the data of the grid process." Sae

Young thought for a while and added. , "What's more, the old man wakes up and

can't sustain the long-term consumption. It should be possible to remind

Tianyan with voice commands occasionally."

As he spoke, he entered the monitoring booth, connected the Tianyan core disk

to the port, and quickly tapped a series of settings with his fingers.

Ding--

Skyeye: "Skyeye γStar's most advanced intelligent system, Skyeye, will

sincerely serve you."

Ding--

Sky Eye: "Why am I not in the space prison..."

Saer Young fiddled with a temporary remote control starter, and said: "I

removed you. Since you have been upgraded, you have to do something serious."

Ding--

Sky Eye: "Have you asked my opinion?"

Sae Young turned his head and rushed towards Chuss and said, "Sir, where is

your 50001 highest authority?"

Ding--

Tianyan: "Serve you sincerely."

Chus: "..."

While adjusting the remote control device, Sae Young glanced at the historical

data on the screen. After scanning a dozen pages at a glance, he knocked on

the countertop and said: "If I understand correctly, the old man seems to

understand too much. The meaning of the grid process."

Chu Si was taken aback, then turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

"Looking at the prompts and data after the program is actually running, the

point is actually not isolation." Sae Young said, "It is connection. Because

these are all so-called accidental factors, so when time is re-adjusting

itself, These factors must be included in the adjustment range. Especially...

sir, you."

In the words of Mond Hollis, the growth of Truth is intertwined with the

contraction of time. Time is part of him, and he is also part of time.

So... when time is self-regulating, how can it be possible to exclude a part

of yourself?

Excluding these unexpected factors and part of yourself, the result of

adjustment will not be truly balanced and stable.

In the final analysis, Jiang Qi, who has already entered the cockpit, actually

accounts for only a small part. The people who really influence the process

most are the people who have been late, especially Sae Young as the finished

product, and Chus as part of the time.

"That's it." After adjusting the last setting, Sae Young hit the next button.

Ding--

Tianyan: "Analysis of past operating data has been completed, and the design

of the monitoring plan has been completed."

Sae Young took the temporary remote control device and helped Truth to

relocate Mr. Shao in the seat in the monitoring booth. The old man is still a

little unconscious and is slowly recovering, but at least there will be no

life problems.

Truss glanced at the old man again, then walked back to the single cockpit,

and said to the Golden Crows: "Although I mentioned it on the way here, I

still want to remind again that the final adjustment result of this grid

process is correct. Ordinary people may only have happiness and no worries,

but for everyone present, it is difficult to predict. Whether there will be

pain and how painful it will be during this process, I have not experienced it

so I can’t know it, but it may be better than you have been in the

experimental cabin. Those received are more--"

Before he finished speaking, the Golden Crow was the first to wave his hand to

signal that he was too lazy to listen anymore. He still had a face of "It's

not a pleasure to see anyone", while opening a single cockpit and sitting in

it, he sneered at Chus. One said: "The word'consequence' doesn't make much

sense to me, just like I can't understand things like'careful consideration',

so there is no difference between saying it twice and saying it again. It is

better to pay less. Tap your tongue."

The reactions of other people were similar to his, and they all entered the

cockpit one after another.

This is a habit of thinking that they have formed over the past few decades,

or it has been integrated into the bones and become their nature.

When Sae Young was solving the countdown problem of Truth, he truly

experienced the urgency of time and the meaning of death, so he slowly changed

slightly.

But the Golden Crow did not.

Perhaps the end this time will become an opportunity.

According to the parameters and settings mentioned by the sky's eye, Chu Si

and Sae Young connected the twelve people one by one to the ports in the

cockpit. Those wires extended from the huge cylindrical metal instrument, long

and entangled. When everything is connected, it is like a giant net implicated

on the body.

When the Golden Crows and their fingers held the grasping hand of the

transparent cover, Tianyan opened his mouth at the right time.

Ding--

"Warm reminder, according to the most accurate design scheme, the cockpit

screen can be left off. Generally speaking, being able to feel the presence of

other people around will give people confidence and courage—"

The word "qi" just came out.

The Golden Crows buttoned their screens blankly. It seemed that they had no

courage a second later.

Sky Eye: "..."

The cables in the cockpit are long enough for Sae Young and Truth to stand by

the cockpit and help each other connect each one.

Each time one is connected, the sniffing contact that extends into the ear

socket will make a soft "di-" sound, like a countdown before a certain ritual,

which makes people feel inexplicably turbulent.

Not long ago, when Chu Si nestled in the black swan cabin, leaning on Sae

Young to look out of the porthole, he was still thinking about a question-what

could he do if his father’s final choice fell on him? How about?

At that time, he felt that this kind of question was actually meaningless,

after all, he hadn't really experienced those, no matter the pros and cons,

all the assumptions were just assumptions.

But now it's different...

He stood where his fathers had stood, doing what they had done before, and

every time he received an interface, the figures of the two generations more

overlapped.

Will it live? Will it die? Will it be painful? Will it still be forgotten?

It turns out that the things that I had assumed out of thin air before, really

reached this time, I didn't think about it.

It turns out that when they encounter the same thing, the choices they

ultimately make are the same.

He and Jiang Qi, Sae Young and Elena; executive officers and prisoners,

researchers and experimental subjects;

No matter how antagonistic the identities, no matter how different the

experiences are, in the rushing years, some things will always be passed down

from generation to generation, and will always be there. It's like no matter

what era, no matter what kind of disaster you encounter, there will always be

batch after batch of people making similar choices to their predecessors.

This may also be immortality and immortality in another sense.

Ding--

"The monitoring plan is being loaded, ready to start, waiting for

instructions."

Sae Young stood in front of Chus, looked at him with a smile, and then pressed

the remote control activation device in his hand in the direction of the

surveillance booth where the sky-eye was located.

Ding--

"When the instruction is received, the grid process continues. The countdown

is 3——2——1——0."

Dear people, there will be a period later.

Saer Young threw away an invalid remote control backhand, and his curved

fingers held Truth's chin, and kissed it with his head down.

Behind them, the wires of the spider webs that generally involve the limbs

lighted up at the same time, and the frost overflowing from the open single

cockpit instantly formed a cold mist, billowing, and the whiteness became a

piece of white.

All the equipment restarted suddenly at that moment, and the huge buzzing

sound resounded like the most magnificent ocean tide, resounding in the

underground space.

The stagnant world slowly turned its gears, and the chaotic time quickly

returned to its original position.

When the gods fall to the ground and turn into hills, when the devil chooses

to discard the scepter, when time is to crown the tombstone, sentient beings

return to the world. ——"Never Land"
