Chapter 48: Time loop

The message sent by Tang only shook, and the other shook came from Jiang Qi's

communicator.

While Chu Si returned a message to Tang, he used his side to pay attention to

Jiang Qi's actions.

"Negotiating with Carlos Black, asking them whether they would like to be

transformed from a captive to a partner, prepare a contract, and if they are

willing to sign and go out to restore their freedom, if they are unwilling to

handcuff them on the spot and store them as food reserves."

He quickly finished typing a message and sent it out, and almost received

Tang's response in the blink of an eye—

Sir, he said that we brazenly deceived people too much.

Truth replied without blinking his eyes--

Choose 1 from 2, very humane.

It is not convenient for him to open the holographic screen on his sleeve in

front of Jiang Qi, but from the content of Tang’s previous message, there are

a lot of floating objects around the debris of the entire planet, relying

solely on him, Sae Yang, and five people. The training camp team does not

really have the advantage when confronted with it. At present, it seems that

the only feasible way is to bring the gang of vagrants into the group.

The way of survival of the wanderers is destined to be a very easy group to

cooperate, only to find what they are interested in as a bargaining chip.

What most wanderers want is nothing more than rich living supplies and

weapons. These two things are related to whether they can survive well in the

universe, so they will never be out of date. But as far as this situation is

concerned, Chu Si's own living supplies and weapons and weapons stocks are a

problem, let alone trade them out.

So they can only find another bargaining chip.

Truth replied: You told Carlos Black that it is most likely that we will

cooperate and fight against the City of Silver.

After a while, Tang's message came: Sir, he said a deal.

Chuss: Contact Le Pen and Liu, there are emergency military aircraft in the

shelter, and ask them to drive a few out to make up enough.

When he and Tang Yi came and went, Jiang Qi was leaning on the sofa and

looking down at the message. Then he moved his fingers and tapped the

communicator briefly. It seemed that the reply was very brief.

He was like this a long time ago. There are only a few numbers whether he

connects to a channel or responds to a message. He never says anything

superfluous. Talking on weekdays is completely two styles.

And most of the things that allow him to see and return like this are mostly

official business.

After replying, Jiang Qi put away the communicator, raised his head and said

apologetically: "The meeting is here to remind me, I may not be able to wait

until the property has repaired the energy pool."

He glanced at the time screen in the living room and said helplessly: "Their

efficiency is much lower than I thought."

Hearing this, Truth was relieved.

He almost immediately opened his mouth and said: "We have been disturbed for

long enough. No matter how low the efficiency of the property is, it will not

take a few hours to repair an energy pool. Let's find another place and wait a

while."

Jiang Qi smiled, he is actually very young, and there is no trace of many

years on his face. In that time and space, he was nearly 30 years older than

Chu Si, who is now in his youthful state, but if you look at his appearance

and say that he was only 10 years older, someone would believe him.

But his gestures and tone of speech will always carry a strong elder

temperament, even his smile and eyes have that kind of meaning.

This is true for the sleepy little Chus, and the same is true for the adult

version of Chus.

To Sae Young...

Well, except Sae Young.

Even if this dangerous man sits so peacefully and quietly as he is now, it is

difficult for people to have an elder mentality towards him.

Truss got up from the sofa in the living room, but Sae Young took a step

slowly. He took a sip of water from the glass that hadn't moved for a long

time. Then he put down the glass and stood up unhurriedly. Chu Si smiled: "I'm

really thirsty."

"It's like how long you've been talking." Truth replied.

"My dear, the water is poured to drink, not for playing and watching." Sae

Young lifted his chin at the cup that he had turned in his hand for a long

time.

Chus lowered his eyes to look at the cup in his hand, and then at the cup that

Saer Young had drunk. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, so he raised his

head and drank two mouthfuls without saying a word. Glancing to the side—Jiang

Qizheng raised his foot and walked toward the study, probably to get the

research draft that he had forgotten to bring.

While watching Jiang Qi's movement, he bent over to take the cup that Sae Yang

put down. As soon as he touched the rim of the cup, he felt that the corners

of his mouth had been wiped lightly, dry to the touch, with a slight touch.

Rough.

Chus quivered his fingers and almost hooked the glass to the ground.

He glanced at him in a blink of an eye and saw Sae Young with one hand in his

pocket and the other hand raised, his thumb swaying at him. He tilted his head

and said, "Inattention, the water is leaking out."

fart.

Truth subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth.

"It's been wiped clean by me." Sae Young said, spreading out his entire palm

at Chus, and lip-synching with a smile: Give me the communicator.

Chu Si looked at him for a moment, and when he heard Jiang Qi's footsteps, he

finally touched the communicator out and slapped it in his palm, then picked

up the three used cups on the glass, turned his head and walked towards the

kitchen.

"Borrow the sink, I washed the cups." When Chu Si turned on the faucet, Yu

Guang caught a glimpse of Jiang Qi leaving the study, and opened his mouth.

In fact, there is an automatic cleaning and disinfection cabinet on the table

next to it, but Jiang Qi has a slight cleanliness in this regard. You must

wash the dining utensils by hand twice before putting it in the automatic

cleaning and disinfection cabinet.

And these things are not counted if others have washed them, he must do it

himself.

In the past, he had to wash the dishes and chopsticks washed by the nanny

again every time he went home for a few days on a business trip.

Fortunately, he only tossed himself so much, and didn't force Chus to be like

him.

As soon as Jiang Qi walked to the living room, he heard such a sentence, put

the black document bag in his hand on the arm of the sofa and went straight to

the kitchen, "Let me come."

"It's okay, it's just smooth." Chu Si replied, deliberately choosing the most

perfunctory method of washing.

Jiang Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Your technique comes out of an

assembly line with my son."

Chu Si also smiled: "Really?"

Jiang Qi dangled both hands, tolerating him to waste three cups before taking

it for the second time, saying: "Okay, I'll come on, go and wipe your hands

clean."

His tone was too natural, as if he was talking to his own family. He heard

Chus's feet and couldn't help but glance at him.

"Why? Still have to observe and learn?" Jiang Qi joked.

"Yeah." Chus took a piece of paper and wiped his hands. "When I was a kid, I

was lazy. I always washed these things in a perfunctory way. Now I have a

chance to learn by the way."

"Is it useful to learn it?" Jiang Qi laughed, "Eating outside all day, even

this step is saved."

The position of Chu Si station seemed random, as if it was just to see how

Jiang Qi washed the cups more cleanly. But in fact, his standing like this

just happened to block Jiang Qi's gaze from looking at the living room.

After Jiang Qi washed the cups and turned to put them in the automatic

cleaning and disinfection cabinet, he quickly glanced at the living room and

saw Sae Yang walking away from the black document bag, raising the

communicator in his hand. He blinked his right eye.

When Chu Si and Jiang Qi returned to the living room one after another, Sae

Yang was standing with one hand in his pocket, standing next to the loveseat,

knocking his head down on the communicator.

"Huh? Alright?" He raised his head and glanced at the two of them, then tapped

the screen twice, and then he threw the communicator into his pocket. The

whole set of movements is naturally very, as if he had been spending time like

this just now.

Jiang Qi walked to the hanger, took the coat and put it on his arm, walked

back to the two-seat sofa, bent over and touched the top of a curled up child,

and said, "Son?"

Little Chus curled up motionless, as if he had entered a period of

hibernation.

Jiang Qi smiled: "This kid."

He stood there, looked at the little Chus who had been asleep for a while, and

said in a low voice, "I'll leave now, son. I'll be back soon."

When he said the last sentence, he had already turned around, his eyes just

colliding with Truth.

But in a moment, he dropped his gaze again, reached out and picked up the

document bag on the armrest of the sofa, and glanced inward at random from the

opening, confirming that he had taken it correctly, and then walked towards

the door.

"Excuse me, let's say goodbye first." Truth and Sae Young stood outside the

door one step ahead of him.

Truth's communicator shook again, and it was still a message from Tang--

Sir, those floating objects have landed around you. Carlos Black and I are on

a flying vehicle, and we are leading the Wanderer army. There are Guys

guarding here, and they are expected to be in place in five minutes.

Chu Si was about to reply when he felt the whole building tremble suddenly,

very slightly, if it weren't on the upper floors, it might not be felt at all.

"Earthquake?" Jiang Qi closed the door with a pause.

"Maybe, but the magnitude is not big." Truth replied, but his eyes met Sae

Young.

This kind of jitter is not an earthquake. He has felt the nuances in the

pseudo-environment test. It is more like a kind of virtual environment or a

precursor of a temporary environment that is about to be broken or collapsed.

Right now, it's probably that this time and space that was forcibly pulled

back is about to disappear.

This is a good thing for Truth. If this period of time and space disappears,

then the apartment here, Jiang Qi who is going to the meeting, and the draft

in his hand will all disappear from the debris of this planet, where they

should have existed. Continue in time and space.

Truss didn't need to worry that the unknown people around him would disturb

this place.

And when he dragged Jiang Qi to wash the cup, Sae Young should have used the

fluoroscopy function implanted in his communicator to read a copy of the

contents of the document bag.

What I should get is already in my hands, and the person I want to see finally

sees it.

Everything went well and smoothly, and the mood should have been good, but

when they hurried downstairs, Jiang Qichong waved their hands and walked along

the road to the southwest gate of the apartment alone, Chu Si's mood fell.

A long, long time ago, a year before Jiang Qi passed away, when he was

chatting with Truth, the topic turned to time. He said to Truth seriously, "If

there is such a day, time can be ·Controlling back and forth freely, that may

be the most tempting thing in the world."

After sighing like that, he once warned Truth that if it comes to such a day,

remember not to make too many reversals, because the changes caused will be

too big to predict and difficult to measure. After all, temptation always goes

hand in hand with danger.

Truth didn't quite understand it at the time, because there was nothing that

made him feel the temptation overwhelming.

But now, he suddenly understood.

After Jiang Qi had been out for quite a while, seeing that he was about to

leave the apartment complex, Chu Si suddenly opened his mouth to his back,

"November 14, 5667."

Jiang Qi was taken aback, then turned to look at him, "What?"

"On November 14, 67...Don't you go out?"
