Chapter 25 Transition
At dawn, Xu Yang woke up leisurely from his sleep. The journey was so long that he was a little hard to bear.After adapting to the air of the place he was in, he half-closed his eyes and looked around at the three teammates who were still sleeping in the carriage, and quietly opened a corner of the curtain.
They have sailed into the target city, a place called "Eternal Capital".
The city's streets are mostly atrium-style mansions with ocher-colored roofs of smooth stone.The road under our feet is very wide, and four or five European-style carriages can pass through at the same time.In the city center not far away is a square with a realistic statue of the godfather holding a scale in his hand, with the sun on the left and the moon on the right.
Xu Yang patted the young man next to him who was a few years older than him, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zuo, we are here."
The young man's name is Luo Zuo. He has wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, and a straight nose. His figure looks tall and strong, which makes people feel full of security.Luo Zuo is the captain of the C101 elite team of the Space-Time Administration. This time, he came to a time node in the 20th century to restore a history that had a huge deviation. The wrong history was that the ruler and heir of the local kingdom died at the coronation ceremony three days later. .
Since time travel has become popular in the world, countless people have signed up for tours to different eras.Although the space-time tunnel as a shuttle tool will automatically correct the history and erase the traces of future people after the tour group leaves, but there are inevitably accidents in it, causing the butterfly effect that cannot be captured immediately, leading to historical loopholes.One of the responsibilities of the Space-Time Administration is to address these vulnerabilities.
The C101 team sent ten people to this mission. In order to deceive others, they mixed in with the young noble children who came here from a remote place to attend the coronation ceremony of the prince.
After getting off the carriage, Luo Zuo put on a black windbreaker and walked far behind the big team.Xu Yang followed slowly, watching the other party exhale heat and rubbing his hands, said in a low voice, "It's almost April, and it's been a bit cold recently, Brother Zuo, remember to keep warm."
"Brother Zuo is old, and he is not as energetic as young people like you." Luo Zuo turned his head to look at the special adviser appointed by the top beside him, and stared at the other party's appearance carefully, but said regretfully: "You said you , it’s okay to go out to work once in a while, but I chose such a troublesome task.”
Xu Yang also works in the Space-Time Management Bureau. He is a professional technician and basically does not work outside the office.Their C101 team received an order from the Administration, but Xu Yang volunteered.
After confirming the peers, Luo Zuo warmly welcomed the other party while being puzzled.Before leaving for the mission, the two had a very happy chat, and they hit it off really well, but Luo Zuo felt even more worthless for each other, because there are only a few words in the historical data about the place they came to now.They can't get more information, so the duration of this mission is uncertain.
Hearing the other party mention his impulsiveness again, Xu Yang smiled lightly, and comforted him instead: "I quite like this century, and I've come all the time. But brother Zuo, you should be happy in your heart if you have many errands."
"How dare you order me? One day I won't be happy and lock me in the tunnel." Luo Zuo looked at his calm look, and sighed again: "While the space-time tunnel is not closed, you can talk to your family again." A few words, let them rest assured not to worry, at most a month will go back halfway, if the task is not completed."
"There is indeed something that I almost forgot to order." After speaking, Xu Yang turned on the screen of the phone, and the real signal displayed there was gradually weakening.He opened the dialogue interface with Vivian a few days ago and sent a message:
[Two weeks are the days when I go home as a routine. If I don't look for you again, please help me and tell my mother that I'm too busy these days, and I'll be back next month. 】
After the disappearance delivery was successful, he pressed the screen to turn off.However, just as he let out a long breath, a familiar prompt came from the crowd in front of him.
Xu Yang: "!"
The time for the distinguished guests to arrive at the Eternal Capital was early in the morning. If they hadn't been personally invited by the royal palace, how could they be allowed to be crowded in a small carriage all night long.
The temperature in the square in the morning is not bad, with occasional cool breezes.Vivienne is now bathing in the spring sun with her head down, still looking a little sleepy.
A pool of water surrounds the statue in the center of the square, shining brightly in the morning light.The surroundings gradually became noisy, the girl became more awake, opened her mouth slightly and lifted her eyelids slightly, and the sparkling light was reflected in her eyes.
The person beside him stared at it for a long time, and when he saw the other person slowly looking over, he blushed and looked away, "Miss, the phone in front is ringing, please check quickly, or the signal will be cut off later."
Vivienne took out her mobile phone and looked at the instructions above with a blank expression like a machine. After digesting the situation for a long time, she reluctantly replied: [I have something to do, maybe I won't go back so early, where are you? 】
Xia Chen saw a trace of distress from the girl's imperceptible frown, thinking that the other party regretted traveling with him, and became at a loss.He moved closer cautiously, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, your Brother Chen can protect you—even though now, we were inexplicably sent to such a strange place by the space-time tunnel. Tsk, what's going on?"
There were other young people beside him who heard the noise here, and said disgustedly: "Sir, didn't your family teach you the etiquette when going out? This trip is invited by the palace."
"I..." Xia Chen turned his head to look at the other party, completely unable to answer.Apparently, they're the only ones around here from the future.
When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a man with an indifferent face in a black tuxedo walked slowly to the statue.After he clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, he said: "Prestige ladies and gentlemen, I am Pi Jiu, the deacon of the palace, and I am in charge of receiving you. Now, please walk to the seminary next to the Cathedral of Leah on Peter Street, where there will be You are being entertained."
"Don't have a car? I've been driving all day and night, and I'm exhausted."
After hearing the request, Pi Jiu paused and said slowly: "It's only a few steps from here to the monastery. We have prepared delicacies that can only be enjoyed in the palace for the distinguished guests. Please feel sorry for me."
After the voice fell, the dissatisfaction among the crowd was obviously much less.Only then did the team of a hundred people move forward slowly, and it was a bit spectacular from a distance.
Vivienne asked Xia Chen to go first to get her favorite snacks, and she walked slowly behind gracefully.She took out her mobile phone again, and entered a few words on the chat window with Xu Yang:
[I am now in the eternal capital of the 20th century. 】
The square quickly emptied, and the prompt sound coming from behind was extremely clear.Vivian turned around following the sound, and saw a young man in a jacket and a wide-brimmed top hat calmly and calmly passing by her.
The girl let out a sigh of relief and followed.
The sun was warm and warm, and after walking a few steps from the square, the number of residents passing through the bustling street gradually increased.
There are many irises planted in the Eternal City, and you can see a clump every few meters.The sweet and greasy fragrance attracts the butterflies to come, and they fly up and down in pairs, playing and chasing.
The destination indicated by Pi Jiu was not far away, and it was on the side of the main road. After a while, Xu Yang could see the domed church.By the time he reached the side door, the others had gathered in the left monastery at the other end of the arcade.
Afterwards, he stood still in front of the old door, thinking about letting the girl go first.He took off his top hat, watched Vivienne approaching with downcast eyes, and asked gently, "Why did you choose to travel here? This place is very dangerous——no, tourists should have been banned at this point in time."
"The space-time tunnel is convulsed. I wanted to go to prehistoric times to see dinosaurs." Vivienne responded calmly.
Hearing this, Xu Yang smiled helplessly, "It's something you can do. I'll report the situation to our captain later. Don't stay too far away from me." Those who watched from the sidelines would only think that he was trying to bully others, especially Xia Chen who was hostile to all men who approached girls.
"What are you doing! She is my girl." Sure enough, Xia Chen rushed over with sharp eyes.He squeezed between the two of them and looked up at the young man. He was about to roll up his sleeves to swear his sovereignty. When he saw the man, he immediately stopped the car and changed his attitude, "Yang, Brother Yang."
After Xu Yang saw the boy walking with the girl, he squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "Boy, it's you who kept me away from her."
Xia Chen's complexion turned pale in an instant, and she faltered in an instant, while Vivienne showed a somewhat surprised expression.
