For those who call themselves doctors, Su Jing and Lu Mengyao are cautious and cautious.:.../This is not disrespectful to this god and demon, but instinctively guarding against overly powerful things.

When looking at it close, the doctor's appearance is much older than the distance. Judging from his red hair, his always passionate movements and voice, most people will think that he is a lively and cheerful young man, but when he is close to him, he can see the many long-lasting marks and patterns on his face, it will make people feel that "this person is not young anymore." There is no doubt that the doctor's mentality is still a cheerful young man, but the traces carved by the years have never faded.

"I know that Red Beard will let you come. But I have never seen you before." The doctor leaned against a stool and foot like a repaired chair, happily posing himself. "Knowing something is always different from witnessing it with your own eyes. I can see your past, those long past events, ah... young people are the most energetic and interesting group of people in the world. How I envy you."

"If you don't mind," Su Jing gestured, "Can you tell us why you live here, in a dream?"

"Can you ask this sentence to prove that you still don't have an in-depth understanding of time and space. I know how those textbooks are written and how they teach you. However, with my personal experience as a proof, 'dream' is also a manifestation of time and space. Do you know how many years I have been in this dream?"

Su Jing shook his head suspiciously.

"From the external record, this dream took less than 12 hours from lying down to arise, from birth to death. If we cut off those light sleep states, then the number will continue to be shortened to one tenth less. And such a short and illusory dream has allowed me to survive in it for more than fifteen years." The doctor picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Some things are far more complicated than you think, and some things are far simpler than you think. Such an illusory and short world is the most comfortable place for a person like me who likes tranquility."

"Do you want to save the world?" Su Jing found that the doctor's speech was easy to get off topic and could always go to another place endlessly. He quickly decided to start guiding the topic himself.

"Yes." The red-haired man nodded.

"Why?"

"Why do you have to ask why? Why do you have to have a reason to do something? What I don't like the most among a million reasons is 'I know I'll do this', but go to his. I can change the paradox of cause and effect, so I won't worry that I killed my grandfather and I never existed, and then I disappeared from the world like a bubble. No, from the moment I was able to travel through time and space, I knew that the theory of cause and effect had nothing to do with me anymore. So I won't do that kind of thing like 'I know we will do this in the future and then I'll decide to do this'... And the answer you want. I can also tell you that I need to confirm whether the reality line of this world is still in the original place. This doesn't seem important at first glance, but it's actually the top priority. Because it concerns the safety of the entire multiverse."

Su Jing felt that he was exaggerating for a moment.

He thought about it.

Then he still felt that the God of Time was exaggerating.

"I'll listen carefully."

Su Jing leaned back a little further in the cushion of the chair. The grocery store, which was not very popular, used a stick to pull down the broken roller shutter door, and then fumbled and lit a white candle on the container.

"You must think I'm exaggerating."

"Yes." Su Jing said honestly.

"So, I know it's hard to simply explain this question clearly what you think is time?" The doctor's face seemed to be unable to see his age in the dark candlelight, and could only see his deep and dark gray eyes.

"Time is a coordinate of the space-time in which we live. It is the most special coordinate in the four-dimensional universe for us. Because for us, time is irreversible."

"Yes. Time is irreversible. Because it itself represents discontinuous continuity. It marks the pictures with serial numbers, telling others which paintings are placed in front and which paintings are placed in the back... It can be regarded as a shackle of cause and effect. When time is out of control, these coordinates will also be out of control. The causal relationship and time are played together, and then there will be no logic and reason in this world. This is the fatal consequence of chaos in timing." The doctor calmly talked about the crisis in the structure of the universe in a tone of discussion and baking sweet cakes.

"Many years ago... I'm sorry, I can't remember how long it was. My sense of time has always been vague. We used to show our skills and abilities in this world. We used soil to fabricate the same human beings as us, experimenting with their own techniques and abilities. Many of the worst things in the world were born during this period. We are not bad people. All the gods and demons are not bad people, but we were a little out of control at that time. At that time, your teacher, Goethe, was addicted to artistic creation. Although his aesthetic makes it difficult for me to compliment, this has not changed you.

The teacher is one of the most powerful and smartest among all gods and demons. At that time, he tried to restore the effect of concepts with the simplest mechanical components, a mechanical life built with the simplest structure, with soul, intelligence, and powerful mechanical life that can evolve. Only by modifying the common sense of the universe can this... monster be created. Of course, your teacher quickly left his work here. A long time later, its fragments were collected by many people, and a religion that worshiped this creation appeared, and they called it the 'breaking god'..."

"..." Su Jing vaguely remembered the rusty brass and bronze gears and lever creations on the beach.

"I told you this to illustrate one thing, that is, that everyone was not normal at that time. We had just become gods, omnipotent, and had no limits... The power of gods and demons is the power that can change the structure of the universe. At the beginning, there were only a few individuals among us who crossed the boundaries of reason and madness, and then all of us. This world is like our garbage dump, all the harmless and harmful things are poured into this world, precipitated, hybridized, and become something gloomy and difficult to touch."

"What about you? What did you create?" Su Jing stared at the candlelight.

"In fact, I only made a few gadgets to test my power. To be honest with you, I fear my own power." The Doctor laughed after the candlelight, and then returned to silence. "But the power of time. I do not humbly say that it is the most dangerous of all powers. And I looked down on it too light. Until I realized its extreme danger, I... forbidden all the powers about reversal and time traveling. Only those harmless tricks such as time pause or acceleration. For anyone, even for gods and demons, time is too powerful."

"Can you explain it specifically?" Su Jing frowned.

"Time machine." The doctor simply replied.

The room was quiet for a while.

"I'm really not familiar with this." Su Jing replied carefully.

"Ha, who could have thought that a gadget like a time machine could cause such great damage to the entire world?" The doctor laughed, "In the range of technology outflow, individual abuse of the time machine has led to multiple resets of the world line. This kind of thing always happens again and again until the structure of the time is riddled with holes. The infinite possibilities are compressed and contracted to a fixed range. Constant interference with possibilities leads to... You know, quantum mechanics. The observer causes the wave function to shrink, and then the only ending. Then there is no ending, the order of time collapses, and the structure of the world falls into chaos."

"If I don't understand the mistake." Lu Mengyao stirred the strong tea in the cup. "If you have the power to travel through time, why not go back to the past and stop yourself from doing this?"

"Hahahahaha..." The doctor laughed, laughing so hard that he even started to cough. His violent breathing made the candlelight start to tremble, "Yes. Yes, that's it, that's exactly what I thought at the beginning. I don't think I'll do anything wrong, because even the troublesome thing is, it's insignificant under the power of any time. However, I later found that this was not the case. I am the god of time, but I am not the god of fate. I can see what will happen in the future, but I can't know what chain reaction and what causal effect changes.

With the development of this kind of situation, if you want to find such a story, you can go and find the foundation. They once held several time-related items, and the scp-2003 was used by them many times to predict the future. What they saw was a cruel and magnificent destruction. These poor mice, again and again, recorded the possible end of the end, all kinds of different kinds, and finally let them survive there, trying their best to avoid this world ruled by humans from extinction... Well, I might be a little excited."

"In my understanding," Su Jing said carefully, "You are fully capable of stopping all this, the end of the world you mentioned, but you are just sitting and watching."

"In a sense, I am time, and time is impartial. What you see here is so crazy and inconsistent with the preface, that's because you find my incarnation in a dream wasteland. And when I meet you in the downtown of your New York streets, you will be amazed at my flawless accent, hurriedly following my graceful and calm pace."

"Let me think about it." Su Jing touched the cushion of the chair with his finger, "Do you want to use my power to repair time?"

"This is not a task, but a test that allows you to understand the laws of the world more deeply. The reason why I don't do it myself is because I don't want to interfere with the possibility of history by myself, and on the other hand, I see traces of the sand of time in you." The doctor put down his teacup, "I already understand the meaning of the Red Beard sending you here, and 'you' is also a message. You were once cursed by the sand of time, and this incident has a profound connection with me. This also makes me owe you once, and this favor is here. I will give you the same ability to travel through time in a short period of time, of course, not free and controllable. During this time period, you can understand the rules of time operation."

"Some people say you have banned all the power to reverse cause and effect." Su Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you don't want others to change time, why would you give me this power?"

"When I exist in this multiverse, I can maintain this ban." The doctor grabbed a handful of dried fruit from the small plastic jar next to him and chewed it in his mouth, "But you don't think I can stay here forever, right?"

Su Jing and Lu Mengyao bid farewell to the doctor and left the wizards' tower city in a daze. Walking along the direction pointed out by the doctor, to save the world.

The dying sun could not give the land enough warmth. Even from the perspective of the sun it was two o'clock in the afternoon, the ground temperature was still not higher than twenty degrees Celsius. Su Jing and Lu Mengyao walked slowly on the dry land, and both of them looked thoughtful.

"Sometimes I feel like you are going to take risks for the rest of your life." Lu Mengyao said suddenly.

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"For you, isn't life a risk? And all kinds of adventures and tests are like being attracted to you, stacked on top of your life. You always accept this kind of life with pleasure." Lu Mengyao stared at a crab on the side of the road with metallic pliers for a while, "I regard adventure as an embellishment of life, and your life is an adventure."

"Are you any dissatisfied with this?" Su Jing turned his head and asked.

"No, I feel very happy." The magician kicked away a little crab. "It's actually quite interesting. We are at such a distance and in such a relationship. Sometimes I'm afraid, what will happen to us... go further? Will we enter a more complete stage or will it ruin everything we have established at the moment. It's good now, and I'm very satisfied."

"The possibilities of history... before we take that step, none of us knows what the ending will be."

Su Jing suddenly wanted to laugh.
