Looking for green

Chapter 11 Pay

After the prophet finished speaking, the whole room fell into a long silence, so silent that it seemed that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.The prophet's smile, Wu Xu and Sabine's long meditation, and Lauren's boring fugue all lasted for a long, long time.

In the end, Wu Xu's words finally broke the silence: "But what's the point of knowing all this now?"

The Prophet blinked at him slyly, and asked with a playful curl of his mouth, "Why is it meaningless?"

Wu Xu and Lauren didn't understand it yet, but Sabienti quickly understood the subtext: "You mean human beings can still be saved?"

"No!" The Prophet shook his head slowly and vetoed, "Humanity is finished."

"But..." Lauren frowned, and couldn't help asking, "If the human race is over, we understand that these things are meaningless!"

"I think," the Prophet paused for a moment, and was satisfied to see the eager expressions of Wu Xu and the others, and said with a smile, "I'm talking about the end of human beings in this world."

"That's right, I also know it's—" Lauren was about to refute when he heard that, but was immediately interrupted by Sabienti: "I think we are not from this world."

The prophet reached out and touched his clean chin, and said approvingly, "Smart."

"So that's it." Wu Xu suddenly realized and nodded, and said, "Although this world is over, our world may still be saved."

"But..." Lauren asked again aggressively, "How do you know that we are not from this world?"

"It's very simple." The Prophet replied with a smile, "Because no one can truly travel through time."

"Why?" Sabine asked.

"Because time is a fixed axis, all people and things are arranged on it, and the trace of anything on it is a complete line. When this line appears, it means that this thing is born. In this world, and when another endpoint appears on this line, it means that his time in this world has run out, and he will disappear forever." The prophet said, "So no one Able to travel through time. Because once they leave no traces for a period of time, their timeline will be cut off directly. And the same timeline will never appear again.”

"But why can't we seal up our entire life by some wonderful things on the earth, and continue to start activities until 100 years later?" Sabine asked sharply with squinted eyes, but he didn't see Wu who was beside him. Xu stroked his forehead in distress, as if he couldn't bear to watch the next thing.

When the Prophet heard it, he really laughed heartily as Wu Xu expected, and then he was out of breath under Sabienti's puzzled and accusing eyes, and replied intermittently: "Of course it's because I saw After that period of time, no team survived—hahahaha!" As soon as the words fell, the Prophet started laughing wildly again, and even Lauren who was beside him couldn't help laughing and bent over, only Wu Xu was helpless and a little bit He covered his mouth and trembled happily.

The always wise Sabienti finally capsized in the gutter this time. His brain, dizzy and bloated by those crazy theoretical knowledge, obviously made a little joke with him. Sabianti blushed, not knowing which way to look, with sweat all over his nose and forehead.

Seeing Sabienti's pitiful appearance, Wu Xu leaned forward and wrapped his left hand around Sabienti's back, then gently kissed his forehead, and comforted him: "It's nothing, no one will always be right .”

However, Sabienti glared at Wu Xu somewhat fiercely, and did not speak, but the redness on his face faded a bit.

"But I'm very lucky." The Prophet, who had recovered his breath, suddenly said with some seriousness, "I'm very glad that you were able to pass through the void rift alive, which is a place where even life cannot exist."

"Even life can't exist?" Sabienti asked immediately when she heard the topic was changed, and Wu Xu and Lauren also stopped their ridiculous behavior.

"That's right." The Prophet nodded solemnly, "The gaps in the void are full of free space-time factors, and once some of their more active parts touch you, they will disrupt the time axis and space axis of your body. It’s okay if it’s the space axis, but it’s hard to go back to your original world. The space-time storm caused by the world collapse that happens every moment is shredded, or it is repelled by the timeline of the entire world at the moment when it returns to its own world, and then the timeline is forcibly disconnected, and it is instantly annihilated."

"Then we..." Sabine opened his mouth and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry." The Prophet showed a consoling smile, "There is no distortion or confusion in your time axis and space axis. It is actually very easy to travel between parallel spaces. If you travel to the point where you have not yet In the world where you were born, then you are the legendary travelers who changed history; if you traveled to the future where you have long since died, then you are the legendary experiencers of the future world; but if you come or still exist in In this world, you in this world also exist, so unfortunately, the same two timelines cannot exist, so you will merge together under the rules of this world, and this is the legendary return The past, commonly known as rebirth."

"So are we experiencing the future now?" Wu Xu asked in a low voice.

"Yes." The Prophet smiled and nodded, "Isn't this a wonderful thing?"

"Wonderful?" Wu Xu exclaimed a little out of control, "Come to experience this future that no longer has any meaning of existence?"

The Prophet was not annoyed by Wu Xu's inexplicable and sudden change of attitude, he just smiled gently and said, "You can get a way to save your world here, can't you?"

"How?" Sabine asked.

"Integration with nature." The prophet smiled and explained, "When you are in harmony with nature, the earth will help you release a powerful force that you can't even imagine, and this is the way to save your world. But unfortunately, after you get the plant, no matter how compatible you are with the plant, you can no longer use this ability, and even I in your world will fall from the altar and become an ordinary person."

"But so what if you get it?" Wu Xu suddenly realized something after a moment of excitement, and said in despair.

"If you get it, you can save your world." The prophet said with a smile.

"But it's a fluke for us to come to this world, how can we go back?" Sabienti said with the same loss.

"Don't worry," the prophet said after a pause, "you can go back."

"How to go back?" The mood has been ups and downs, and the few people raised their hearts again, and asked cautiously.

"It's very simple, close your eyes and open them again, that world is right in front of your eyes." The Prophet said with a smile.

"How is it possible!" Lauren retorted with a look of "Do you think we are fools?"

"I won't lie to you." The Prophet said, "Although the human beings in my world are hopeless, I hope that your world can continue to continue the endless civilization of human beings until this planet can no longer bear it— —Oh no, it was the day when this world could no longer bear the time and began to fall into pieces."

"Then how do we go back?" Sabienti asked suspiciously, obviously not believing what the Prophet said as a joke just now.

"As I said before, when you close your eyes and open them, that world is right in front of your eyes." The prophet repeated what he said just now, looking at the three people with unbelievable faces at the same time, he said mischievously, " So now you can start doing the eyes-closed exercise."

The three of them looked at each other for a while, then obediently closed their eyes.

The Prophet looked at the place around him that had lived for more than 100 years with some nostalgia, smiled with some relief and sighed softly: "Goodbye, my world."

Hearing this, the three of Wu Xu suddenly felt something was wrong, and suddenly opened their eyes, what caught their eyes was the bright smile of the Prophet whose whole body was slowly turning into blue spots of light, and only the head was intact. .They tried to break free, but found themselves unable to move.

"I told you to close your eyes." The Prophet sighed helplessly, "Why open your eyes and look at me?"

"Prophet..." Wu Xu asked with trembling lips.

"Son, it's all right." The prophet finally showed a kind smile that fit his age but didn't fit his face, and then his whole face began to age rapidly. The original young face was covered with wrinkles, and he looked old I don't know when I will die, "The human beings in this world are finished, and it doesn't make any sense for me to continue living. It is my eternal hope to be able to exist with the earth forever, but I have never been able to let go of myself .Now I know that there is a world where human beings may be continued with my help, and I have no regrets. Don't worry, I didn't give my life, I just went to accompany Mother Earth."

As soon as the words were finished, even the face of the Prophet turned into dots of blue light to envelop them, and the blue light spots gently wiped away the tears that kept pouring out of them, like the last kind smile of the Prophet.

At the last moment when they were plunged into darkness, they seemed to see the young face and bright smile of the Prophet again, leaning on a small earth with a smile, and still saying: "Remember , the oneness with nature will be your greatest strength."
