Chapter 73 Independence
The girl waited for him for a while and asked hesitantly: "Then what are you... God doing?"
"I'm going to heaven..." Li Zhen slowly raised his head to look at the sky - the stars were still as bright as the stars were vaguely visible. And he came back from there. He looked at the Longinus gun beside him. Then he smiled, "I went to get something. Unfortunately, I came back a little late."
"Is it... a military secret?" the boy who recognized him asked tentatively.
Li Zhen smiled: "Yes."
Then these people don't know what to say.
After a while, Li Zhen waved his hand: "You guys go back first, I'll be quiet alone. I'm still starting classes in college now?"
"Well, it's driving. I just don't know when it will be. The teacher has left a lot." The girl said a little sadly, and then she stood up and said to her classmates, "Then you guys go back, I'll stay here."
She turned to Li Zhen: "If you need anything..."
Li Zhen shook his head: "No, you can't get through anyway. But tomorrow you have to contact the official here and say I'm back - I have something to talk to them about."
The "Exit Guest Order" was a little obscure, but the girl understood. So she glanced at Li Zhen again and pursed her lips: "Okay."
A group of college students holding candles gradually moved away. Li Zhen watched them for a while, slowly stood up, and pulled out the gun from the ground.
He didn't know what he should do for a moment. If he had followed his previous idea, now he would be in the northern base, and he would most like to see his parents. Then he might chat with Zhang Kesong on the phone, and then fulfill the promise that year or six years ago - the resurrection of Kitagawa Harumaki.
So long has passed, but the girl's voice, appearance and smile are vivid in her mind. He indirectly killed her, but the promise she gave her has been delayed until today...
He himself didn't know whether Kitano Kyuki's skeleton was still lying safely in a corner of the world after so long.
But now everything has been disrupted - the world has been beyond recognition.
He felt that maybe he shouldn't have killed Shen Mu at the beginning...
Since a theory can predict what will happen in the world, then we can find some solutions based on that theory? If he is still alive, maybe he can use his smart head to brew a glass of poison wine - even if it is really like he guessed, it will cause the two universes to eventually merge and collide together, and at least it can temporarily quench thirst.
Unfortunately, no one has told me whether what I did in the past was right or wrong.
It’s like he is a little confused now. He crawled out of the grave, broke into the world of the capable person in a daze, and joined the Secret Service Office. Is it right or wrong?
If I hadn't made that choice at the beginning, maybe I'm still with my parents and Kesong, living somewhere happily and peacefully.
But is that kind of life really what you want to live?
Li Zhen stood next to the isolation wall with the gun in his hand for a whole night.
It was not until a ray of light appeared in the east sky that he lowered his head slightly and wiped his hair with his hands. I wonder if it was related to the "self" in a dark way. Five years ago, two people were in the south and the other in the north, and they even shaved a "round inch" at the same time.
The hair touched in his palm was a little hard, with a thin layer of dew on it. He wiped his face with the dew and made a decision.
So he tried to stretch out a finger and slowly approach the invisible barrier.
This so-called isolation belt should be the same as the area in the sky. He just thought carefully about everything he had experienced in heaven and then found some doubts.
He originally thought that this thing would speed up the passage of time - in the past, this kind of thing could also be supported by theory, and should be more easily accepted than "psychic energy". He once thought that because of his special physique, he still remained young after decades of years.
But later he looked at his clothes. The clothes were ordinary, with black trousers and a short-sleeved shirt with light blue and white edges. But the clothes looked nothing changed now, as if they had just been washed and put on by themselves.
However, Qian Suidang and Wu Jiechao's space suits have been rusted, but their own are still new. This means that not only has the power bypassed his body, but also let go of his close-fitting things.
Therefore, this kind of thing is by no means a simple "time acceleration".
The most significant difference between myself and the two who died is that they are capable people, and they are ordinary people. So here is the difference?
Can those with ability ignore this so-called isolation belt?
So now he plans to take a risk with one of his fingers.
The index finger of the left hand inserted into that space after a slight pause.
Li Zhen pursed his lips tightly and waited for a while - in his highly focused state, the so-called "a little time" was actually less than a second.
The fingers did not change much. So he felt a little happy and planned to fit the whole person through it. But just as this thought came to his mind, his index finger suddenly disappeared. It seemed to be covered by an invisible cloak. He could see his finger root, but the connection with the disappeared finger was a bright cross-section - he saw his bones, muscles, and blood vessels!
He immediately pulled his left hand back. So the moment he left the isolation belt, blood splattered everywhere. Fortunately, his powerful self-healing ability was effective immediately. Without him pressing to stop the bleeding, the broken blood vessels had contracted and healed, and the muscles and skin covered the wound, and a new finger was born in a few seconds.
This thing... is not just as simple as "time flow rate", but it is more like the kind of spiritual energy he has - the attribute that can produce cutting. The fingers that are "cut" disappear...
Did you run into another space like that bomber group?
Li Zhen let out a sigh of relief, thought for a while, walked over a dozen steps along the isolation belt, and went to the other side. Then he tried again.
There are definitely many people who have tried themselves in human history, but there are definitely not many people who will lose a finger every time they test it. He tried it six times and threw away six fingers.
The conclusion is that the thing does exist - it seems to be moving slowly. Sometimes it takes two or three seconds to "bite" the fingers, and sometimes it is gone as soon as it is reached in.
But he tried the seventh time again. This time he used psychic energy. A small piece of void wrapped his fingers and stuck it in. Then he waited for five minutes - his fingers were safe and sound. This means that if he could completely "protect" himself, he could safely cross the so-called "isolation belt".
But the problem is...
To completely wrap himself up with a "vagin" means that he will send himself to that space where he will lead. Perhaps before he can pass through the wall, his whole body will disappear from the world.
This is indeed a funny and helpless paradox, so he does not intend to do so for the time being.
Then it seems that I can only wait.
Li Zhen sat back on the ground and felt like he had become a prisoner. The sun slowly rose from the east, and the sun was reddened. It seemed that there was only good weather for summer in Yuzhou, with blue sky and white clouds. Most of the other seasons were hidden under the thick clouds. Even now, the clouds in the sky seemed unwilling to give in. But the sun finally broke through layers of obstacles and jumped into the sky.
So the world gradually became hotter.
The wait did not last long. About half an hour later, Li Zhen saw a slender figure slowly walking towards him.
It was a girl, wearing sportswear, as if she was running from a morning start.
She walked and stopped and got closer, and finally saw Li Zhen, and then smiled slightly: "Ah, you are still here."
This girl was the one who took the lead last night. Her calmness and calmness left a deep impression on Li Zhen, so he also smiled: "Waiting for news here. What's your name?"
The girl stood down casually, thought for a while, then sat on the plastic floor with her knees bent and said, "My name is Guo Jinyuan."
Li Zhen nodded and looked at her. The light was dim last night and it was not real. But it was early morning, so some details appeared in front of him.
The girl's hair was neatly and soft, and her eyebrows seemed to have been trimmed. Her pink lips were a little shiny, and she seemed to have used lipstick. If she looked down, the neck inside the collar was very clean and fair. Look at her nails again - they were trimmed neatly, and there was not even a trace of dust in the gaps between her fingers.
But her clothes looked a little old. Although they were also clean and neat, there were some fringes on the cuffs. It was obvious that the girl seemed to have trimmed the fringes, but she couldn't become what she used to be.
The most important thing is that when she was sitting on the ground with a smile and bent her knees, the corners of her mouth quickly pulled down. This was an unconscious micro-expression, which meant that she felt a little resistant when she was doing this. And now she hugged her knees with her hands and tiptoed slightly, as if she was deliberately reducing the area where her clothes came into contact with the ground.
She didn't want to sit like this, but she still did it, as if she wanted to gain her favor in this way.
She should be a girl who pays great attention to appearance - both her fingers and skin mean that she has received good care in the past, and she must have lived in a very good living condition. But now she is wearing a sportswear with burrs.
Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "The first time I came to Yuzhou. I heard that the hot pot here is very famous."
Guo Jinyuan smiled: "Well, I have eaten since I was a child."
So Li Zhen knew it in her heart - her throat moved slightly.
He asked again: "Get up early and run?"
Guo Jinyuan let out a sigh: "Yes, but I didn't expect you to be here again."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "I don't recommend you get up early every day to exercise. If I see correctly, your body is weak and your steps are not stable, and it may be because your nutritional condition is not very good. In this case, it is better to lie down in bed instead of exercising."
The girl was slightly stunned.
Li Zhen continued, "What's the matter with me?"
Guo Jinyuan opened her mouth, then smiled a little awkwardly: "Well... well, I'm indeed here to find you."
The smile on her face gradually faded, and she turned into a look of anxiety. She swept her toes slightly on the ground with her toes, looking up and said, "I want to ask you...I mean, if you come out, take me out of here."
"Leave Lianzheng University?" Li Zhen said lightly, "Personal freedom is restricted here?"
"It's not Lianzheng, it's here - the city." Guo Jinyuan looked at Li Zhen, with some hope in her eyes, "My hometown is in Wanzhou, I want to go home."
Li Zhen thought for a while: "If there is this thing blocking me, I can't even get out myself, let alone take you out. If there is no such thing blocking me, the passage you mentioned appears - then you can go back by yourself. What do you want me to do?"
Guo Jinyuan looked directly at Li Zhen and whispered: "The government has its own way."
She paused: "They have a door, which is an instrument that can briefly open a gap so that people can walk over!"
Li Zhen was stunned: "Is there this thing?"
He was indeed a little surprised. If we put aside the supernatural powers and other things, the technological level of the human world had not changed much five years ago. At that time, the empire was most proud of its small nuclear reactor technology. He still remembered that after the Pingyang incident, the empire sent a small team of "global strategic strike aircraft" to set off from the local area, flew at high speed from US airspace, and circled the earth.
At that time, this was the world's most technological strength.
But now Guo Jinyuan says that the local government in Yuzhou has a "gate" that can cross this time and space barrier...
This technology is too sci-fi anyway, right?
So he subconsciously asked: "Made humans? Made from the empire?"
He seemed to be interested. This reaction obviously inspired Guo Jinyuan. The expression on her face became vivid: "It's not an empire, I heard it was imported from the Philippines - the Philippines."
Li Zhen knew what she meant by repeating this sentence. No one would have thought that the country that had suffered heavy losses in the Aurora Age could create this thing, right?
But her next sentence made Li Zhen more interested—
“I heard there is independent.”
Li Zhen frowned slightly: "It was originally a sovereign state."
"Not referring to that..." Guo Jinyuan shook her head, "I mean, the empire's garrison in the Philippines was independent."
Li Zhen stood up and frowned: "When is the news?"
