13 Mink Street Chapter 235

After checking the table, the three captains all fell silent.

Even Kansai, who was the most grumpy in the past and had a deep prejudice against Neo, had a solemn expression on his face at this time.

Of course, he may not really have a prejudice against Neo, but a true perception.

"Three hours, we are three hours behind." Anthony immediately shouted behind him, "Check the watch, the starry sky school time!"

Kansai also immediately shouted: "Follow it."

Neo raised his head, glanced at the starry sky, reached out and tapped the blue shell beside his ear: "Fanny, school hours."

Soon, the results of the school hours on both sides came out. .

Anthony and Kansai are in their early 1s, Neo's are in their early 4s.

Although the two sides were face to face, there was a three-hour difference in time, and even the starry sky above the two sides was different.

"What's the matter?" Anthony looked at Neo.

Kansai asked, "Neo, what did we do in the next three hours?"

As the captain of the Whip of Order Squad, there is still no shortage of the most basic professional qualities and basic knowledge. Of course, they will not keep shouting "This is impossible, this is impossible, all this is a scam..."

Now that the strange situation has emerged, what we have to do now is to solve it as much as possible.

Neo opened his mouth and said: "You entered the Ales Castle Manor, and you left the manor more than an hour later. I had someone stop your convoy and found that there were only people who didn't see you in the car. Wait for me to lead the way. When the team came back, they saw you driving from here."

"So, we have already entered the mission target?" Anthony looked thoughtful.

Kansai asked, "What's in the manor?"

"I don't know." Neo shook his head.

"you do not know?"

"I didn't enter the manor, because I felt it was dangerous, so I decided to give up this mission."

"So, just me and Anthony's two teams entered the manor?"

"Yes."

Kansai licked his lips and said, "If you are the benchmark, we are who we were three hours ago, so no matter what we do now, we can't change the established ending?"

Neo raised his hand and interrupted Kansai: "I think we should not discuss such philosophical issues now, but should focus on practicality."

Anthony asked, "Neo, what do you think happened?"

"I suspect that there is something mysterious in Ales Manor that has an impact on you."

Kansai said in surprise: "A holy artifact that can control time?"

Neo glanced at Kansai and asked, "Do you know what the Time Hallows mean?"

Although the Time Sacred Artifact and Time Artifact have always been circulated, they have never been confirmed to have actually appeared. There are not no churches in the church world that worship and believe in gods related to time, but they are all small churches without exception, and even their The gods they believe in may be false and do not exist.

Because time cannot go against the flow and cannot be controlled.

From era to era, the gods have studied and dabbled in time, but they have all failed in the end.

Although God will not stand up and take the initiative to explain that my research has failed, but as long as it comes from era to era, how many gods and how many orthodox churches continue to annihilate, it is enough to prove that no **** has really mastered it so far.

Therefore, the Holy Artifact of Time has always been just a concept, well known to many people, and has even been presented in literary and artistic works, but in reality, no trace of it has ever been found.

Anthony asked, "Then what do you think?"

"I guess that you may have been deceived or bewitched, which caused the current situation."

"We?" Anthony demanded immediately, "Why do you think you're not being bewitched?"

"Because my team didn't enter the manor."

"How do you know you didn't enter the manor? What if you did, but were fooled into thinking you didn't?" Kansai asked immediately.

Neo stopped talking.

"If only we were deceived and bewitched, why did you appear in front of my eyes?"

Anthony stretched out his hand to hold Kansai, motioned him to stop talking, and turned to Neo: "We will follow your command, and Kansai's team and I will follow your command."

"Why..." Kansai is obviously dissatisfied, he now understands that Neo had belittled their situation from the beginning but picked himself up, obviously wanting to lead this as a "savior". Three squads.

That's why he deliberately kept saying "you" and "you" without mentioning that there might be problems on his own side.

Neo smiled and said: "Just because I won't hand over the command of my squad, and because I don't like to hand over my destiny to others, you can choose your own actions and continue along this road to the Castle of Ales. , you do your thing, I do mine."

"We are willing to unite!" Anthony said.

Kansai muttered a "rogue" in his mouth,

But he also opened his mouth and shouted: "Okay, I will listen to your command. What is the first step?"

"You two teams stay where you are. I will lead my team to the intersection of the tracks ahead and try to catch the train back to York City."

Kansai immediately shouted: "Do you want to confirm whether there is a problem on your side? If there is no problem, you will go back with your people directly?"

Neo nodded and said, "Yes."

"you!"

Anthony immediately pulled Kansai and said, "Okay, we will follow your arrangement."

Kansai's chest was full of anger, but he still stopped talking.

In this situation, if Neo's team can really return to York City, they can at least ask for help from the gods, and invite a more powerful department to solve the matter here, so that they can also be saved.

It's not that Kansai doesn't understand what's at stake here, he's angry at Neo's attitude.

Neo turned around and returned to his team members. The previous conversation between the captains of the two sides did not shy away from the members of their respective teams, especially Kansai's voice was always loud, because in this situation, it would be meaningless to hide his subordinates. thing.

Let everyone know the current situation, on the one hand, they can gather ideas and solutions, on the other hand, they can better command their subordinates to execute some unimaginable orders on weekdays.

Most importantly, if the dilemma is established, it means that no one can escape, which is also a way to improve cohesion at this time.

Neo glanced at everyone and said, "I need a team member to join the opposing team now, if we fail to return, he can play the role of a coordinate point when we return.

Anyone who is tired of living and wants to take risks can take the initiative to stand up. If no one is willing, then we will draw lots. Except me, fifteen of you will draw lots to select one person. "

Everyone knows that the person who stays behind will take a great risk. Under such a strange situation, it is the most correct choice to leave and enter a safe place as soon as possible.

Karen did not speak or choose to come forward, preferring to accept the draw.

However,

Richard took the initiative to take two steps forward and shouted:

"Captain, I'm staying!"

For a time, everyone's eyes fell on Richard, who straightened his back and rubbed the soles of his boots under his feet, pretending to be a "big deal".

Karen looked at the rookie Memphis, who also raised his feet to step forward.

At this moment, Marlowe stepped forward. To be exact, Marlowe walked out a little slower than Richard.

Marlowe reached out and grabbed Richard's shoulder, dragged him back, and said:

"Captain, I'm here. I'll know how to form. If you want to contact me, it will be more convenient."

"Okay, you stay, the rest, move on."

Neo's team crossed the road with Kansai and Anthony's team.

Marlowe stayed.

At the same time, at the end of the squad interspersed, two new players followed, who were from the Anthony squad and the Kansai squad. Obviously, the two captains also made the same arrangement as Neo.

There is no communication, no introduction to each other, those who stay behind, and those who follow follow, the two sides just get further and further apart.

Finally, the intersection of the tracks came, and everyone stood by the tracks, waiting for the train to Yorktown.

York City is a big city with York Harbor, so there are frequent trains even at night.

Not long after, a freight train came.

"boarding."

Everyone got on the train.

Karen, Richard, and Memphis stood at a carriage junction.

"This time the mission is tricky," Cullen said.

Richard said, "It's true."

Memphis nodded.

"Did you notice anything unusual?" Karen asked.

Richard said, "No, although I have paid close attention to the situation around me, but still nothing."

Memphis shook his head.

The train keeps going.

Karen suddenly found that the scenery in the distance was not right. It was clearly getting closer and closer to the densely lit location, but it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the densely lit location became further away in an instant.

Cullen grabbed the edge of the carriage with one hand, leaned out, and saw that the location ahead was the intersection of the railroad tracks where she and others had previously boarded the train.

It's... it's back.

"get off!"

When the captain's order came, everyone jumped off the train and watched the train continue to move forward.

"On foot!"

A new order is issued.

Everyone started to walk on foot, and after more than 20 minutes of walking, everyone returned to the origin of the previous departure.

Richard said a nonsense: "It seems that we can't get out."

Memphis said, "We probably didn't leave at all."

Karen looked at Memphis and asked, "Are we hypnotized?"

Memphis shook his head and said, "It's more complicated than this."

At this time, a few crows landed in front, they were pacing there, Neo walked over, waved, these black crows all dissipated, obviously, these are the news released by the captain, but the news could not be transmitted.

Everyone seems to be trapped in this huge well. Although there are no edges and corners around, but the slippery and moss-covered slippery is more likely to make people desperate.

Li glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost five o'clock, and it's almost dawn."

Karen asked, "Richard, what time is it?"

"Oh, five o'clock... eh? It's half past ten!"

The same exclamation was also issued in other parts of the team. Obviously, Richard was not the only one who noticed the time change.

Karen raised his head and looked at the starry sky above his head. He was not familiar with the stars, but he could also feel that the stars in the sky seemed to be slightly different from before.

Soon, the results of the school time came out, and it was indeed less than one o'clock in the morning.

This means that it is not only the place that everyone can't get out of, but also the time.

"They're gone!" Fanny shouted.

Everyone immediately got up and looked around. After confirming the number of people, including the captain, there were 15 people.

The team originally consisted of the captain plus 12 staff members and 3 non-staff members, totaling 16 people. After removing Marlow who stayed in those two teams, it was 15 people.

Everyone else was there, but missing were the two members sent by the two teams. Karen didn't know their names, but he was sure that the two had come with him and boarded the train together.

"They got off the train." Gerry said, "the two of them had been standing with me all the time, and I was responsible for watching their changes. I remember very clearly that when the captain gave the order, the two of them got off with me. I got off the train and told me my worries about the current situation.

It can be said that they were still by my side just now, but I didn't realize how they disappeared now. "

"Have the two of them gone back?" Xiong asked, "I mean 'being' returned."

Fanny said, "What about Marlowe, if the two of them were 'taken' back, why didn't Marlowe come back?"

"Because it came back at the wrong time," Memphis said.

Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer.

There was no social fear in Memphis, but he said seriously: "They should have gone back, and Marlowe should have returned, but their respective places of return are different, and the place they went back may not necessarily be where we are now. "

"Sorry, I didn't understand..." Fanny said.

"The coordinates are not with us. There may be one or several fixed coordinates. When their time is up, they will be 'returned' to that coordinate."

"What about us, why are we still here?" Fanny asked.

"Our squad may also be moving coordinates now."

"Move the coordinates?" Aoyao wondered, "Why?"

"I don't know, but I feel that if the scattered people are alone, they may be 'returned' to the fixed coordinates, and as long as the number of people in the team reaches a certain size, we can have mobile coordinates, which will only be returned in time. but not spatially.”

"Time?" Gray caught the word.

"It is a different expression of time. I don't think that the real time has changed. The real time must have not changed. What has changed is our perception of time.

The watch and the starry sky above may be all scams. I don't know what caused all this, but the existence of this phenomenon seems to deliberately guide us to recognize the concept of time being cut. "

Neo said: "Memphis is right, don't mention time, don't deepen this idea, I don't think there is any time holy artifact in this world, and there is no time power.

We can't follow its lead to know and explore, or we'll never be able to leave here.

Now, since we can't get out, let's go back, back to the hillside where we first stopped to observe, and I hope Marlowe is waiting ahead to join us. "

Neo didn't say that the two teams would meet us there. Karen thinks, maybe Neo thinks they won't show up there, although they will definitely stay there as agreed.

The crowd began to go back the same way. Richard asked Karen in a low voice as he walked: "Is there really no Time Sacred Artifact?"

"No." Memphis said first, "It is said that the God of Light disappeared in pursuit of the power to control time."

Hearing this explanation, Karen froze for a moment and asked, "Is there an explanation?"

There have always been countless speculations about the ending of the God of Light, and the mainstream of speculation in each period is different. This is normal. After all, even a study of one book can be divided into many genres that argue with each other, not to mention the God?

A relatively unified cognition statement now is that the God of Light "disappeared" at the end of the last era or the beginning of this era, and the "missing" here also includes the possibility of falling.

"There are a lot of explanations, it depends on which one you are more willing to accept." Memphis continued, "Time is a force that fascinates even God."

Because only by mastering time, can you perpetuate yourself in the epochs without worrying about being annihilated.

Karen couldn't help but think of the golden retriever who spoke that night. It used "lost" to describe the eternal god.

But if time is really a power that even gods cannot obtain and yearn for, then what is the power that is acting on your own group of people now?

Karen didn't know the answer, and the captain's attempts to communicate with the outside world also failed. The earliest request for Marlow to send a message for help to the gods should also fail.

If their cats and dogs are around, they should be able to give more analysis and guesswork to the situation in front of them.

finally,

The team arrived at the place where they met with Anthony and Cansai for the last time. Not surprisingly, the two teams that were asked to stay here, together with Marlow, disappeared.

Richard ran to the curb, checked, and Karen asked, "What are you looking at?"

"When I asked to stay, I used the sole of my boot to grind a small hole here. I'm sure this is where I was standing, but the hole was gone."

Karen remembered that Richard, who took the initiative to take on the task at that time, did a little bit of action in order to show a calmness.

At this time, Karen heard Fanny propose to the captain:

"Captain, I think since we can't get out, let's go to the Castle of Ales."

"Yeah, Captain UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, that's the case anyway, why don't you go to the castle to see what's inside." Gray also suggested.

Neo shook his head and said: "But I think that we have not entered the Ales Manor, but it is our biggest advantage now, and I don't believe it can last for such a long time.

Everyone, gather and camp in place! "

The captain ordered camp, and Karen and Memphis walked toward the team, when Karen noticed that Richard wasn't following and was still looking for his little hole.

"Richard, go, set up camp," Cullen urged him.

Memphis also stopped and looked at Richard.

"Oh, okay, here comes Karen."

Richard clapped his hands, stood up, and then, under the watchful eyes of Karen and Memphis, started running in the opposite direction, shouting as he ran:

"Hey, don't run so fast, wait for me, Karen!"
