Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"This is really unbelievable."

Tamai smiled easily. Everyone who had witnessed everything just now was in confusion. It was impossible to hear a phone call from the past, a phone call from nearly 300 years ago.

Gene stood where the phone booth disappeared, and Tang Rao looked at the colorful translucent barriers that appeared. Now he can only wait for these things to disappear to see what else will happen.

"I'm afraid things are much more complicated than we thought."

Tang Rao sighed. Now they can't leave again. This trip to find energy will probably take a lot longer. If they don't figure it out while something strange is happening now, if this place disappears in the future, they will No chance to find out anymore.

"Let's group up now. There are so many of these things here. Let's see what happens if the color barrier disappears."

Tang Rao said and everyone nodded, Gu Yi said.

"The time and space here are very likely to be connected to the past time and space. In the era we were in, there were many such rumors. I have read files on some secret things in the past. They are indeed very strange."

"Did this really happen?"

Tang Rao asked, Gu Yi shook his head and said.

"There are some files on things like time travel, but it may be caused by some memory loss, or there is an abnormality in the brains of those who have experienced the so-called time travel. Although there are similar things, there is no conclusive evidence. Don't Having said that, now we don’t have the ability to prove the authenticity of time travel.”

"That's all we can do first."

As Witte said, everyone began to divide into groups. Gene took some people from Section 10 to a barrier in the east. Tamai shuttled back and forth in the barrier, and the staff were also testing how the light that formed the barrier came from. Something happened.

"There is nothing I can do, Sir Jean. The detector cannot detect where these lights come from. We can see it, but we cannot detect it. There is only one possibility. What we see is an illusion, but everything in front of us is."

Everyone was scratching their heads, and Jean also felt incredible. If it was really an illusion, they, as gods, would not be fooled.

Gene smiled and nodded, then said.

"Everyone just needs to rest for a while."

Jean continued to stare at the barrier, and there was always a feeling in his heart that the appearance of this place was not accidental, but inevitable. There was always a bad feeling in his heart.

Tamai was still wandering around, and he was still looking at some things in the human city in the past. Gene was lying on the lawn, having not experienced such a feeling for a long time.

Everything was so familiar, but strange at the same time. Gene thought of his teacher, and for a moment he felt a little depressed.

Gene stood up, lit a cigarette, looked at Tamai not far away, entered a building, and shouted.

"You better not go too far."

"It's okay, Sir Jean, I'll go up and take a look."

Tamai entered the building and turned on the lighting equipment on the protective suit. The hall lit up. Tamai saw the elevator. He walked over and opened the elevator door with his hand, looking at the dark place below. Underground floor.

This was an office building. It looked like the structure was similar to the situation in human cities today. There were a lot of companies in this kind of building. Tamai stared down at it in trance, and he jumped down.

After landing with a bang, Tamai opened the elevator door. The bottom was the underground parking lot, which was not very high. Tamai walked over and looked at a lot of damaged cars.

Tamai felt good about being able to see these things in his lifetime. He had been very interested in the outside world before. Compared to being in the office or banquet hall, Tamai actually preferred the outside world, which was full of unknowns. world.

After wandering around for a while, Tamai returned to the door of the elevator, but suddenly Tamai felt something was wrong, because the elevator door had just been opened by him, but now it was closed. Tamai held on to the elevator, After breaking it open, he was about to jump back, but found that there was another floor below.

Tamai showed a confused look, and some numerical values ​​began to appear on the panel in front of the eyes of the protective suit. These values ​​represented that there was not much oxygen left and it was necessary to go back and replenish it.

"what happened?"

Tamai climbed up along the elevator cable. After a while, Tamai returned to the ground and opened the elevator door.

"What the hell."

Tamai shouted, and he found that the door to the hall that he had just entered had disappeared, and there was a cement wall in front of him.

Tamai looked around. He was not sure where he was. It was dark all around. Tamai walked quickly. After turning around a corridor, Tamai breathed a sigh of relief. He saw what he had just entered. Hall, and then looked at the elevator that he had just opened. Tamai walked over and increased the light.

Tamai looked down and saw the traces caused by his fall. Moreover, the elevator door was opened and there were only two floors underground, so Tamai could see clearly.

"Mr. Jean, we have a new discovery."

Tamai shouted, and after a while Jean and the others came over, and Tamai told them the strange things they had just experienced.

A group of people came to the underground parking lot. According to Tamai, they walked around and returned to the elevator entrance, but nothing changed. The floor below that Tamai just saw did not exist.

"You shouldn't be confused, right?"

A person from Section 10 laughed, Tamai said.

"Absolutely impossible."

Gene took out a cigarette and lit it, and looked around. Tamai stood in the elevator and stepped hard on the ground. There were cracks and depressions on the ground, but nothing weird happened.

"Let's go up first."

After Jean finished speaking, everyone returned to the ground. The colorful barrier not far away still existed and did not disappear. Three hours had passed.

Tamai scratched his head. He didn't believe what he just saw was an illusion, and then he said.

"I'll go in and take a look again by myself."

This time Tamai installed some recording equipment and detection equipment on the protective suit, and he returned to the dark hall again.

"Lord Jean, come quickly and take a look, the door here is closed."

Gene and a group of people from Section 10 came over. Now they believed what Tamai said, because the door of an elevator did close. The elevator that Tamai went down before had no electricity here, and the elevator door did not close. It may close automatically.

Jean opened the elevator door, and as soon as he opened it, a faint blue light came out. Jean stared at the faint blue light below with a solemn face. At this time, the entire underground was covered by blue light.

The people in Section 10 took out the equipment and checked it. No one knew what this blue light was, but at this time, there was a figure in the blue light, and Gene was a little surprised.

"What exactly is it?"

Tamai asked curiously, Gene said.

"I'll go down and take a look."

"It's best not to go down, Lord Jean."

A person from Section 10 reminded, Gene smiled.

"I still have to go down and take a look. After all, there are some things that science cannot explain."

After speaking, Jean jumped down with a locator. The moment he was submerged in the blue light, Jean was stunned because he saw a very familiar shadow.

Just now, some tables and chairs were revealed in the light, and Jean saw them in a flash.

In front of him was a lit tavern, the lights were dim, the tables and chairs were a little faded, and there were no high-end wines on the wine cabinet, but low-grade wines.

"Sure enough, look now, that guy Li Ji is really stingy."

Jean sighed, looking around, and at this time, sitting at the bar not far away, was a young man wearing old clothes, with regular features, a smile, and a pair of eyes full of hope. The young man asked Ji En Well, it looks familiar.

"Who is you?"

Jean asked, and Jean also noticed that the elevator was visible on the ceiling, but Jean didn't think it was traveling through time because it didn't feel like it. Jean walked to the very familiar bar and stretched out his hand to touch it. It swayed like a reflection in the water.

"I'm Jamie."

Jean looked on in surprise.

"I thought it was an illusion!"

"For some reasons, I have to come from the past to the present. Mr. Jean, I am not from the future, but from the past."

Gene didn't quite understand. He looked at the tavern with nostalgia. This was the place where Gene grew up. After his mother died, the helpless Gene could only make a living by stealing and robbing on the streets.

After being caught by Li Ji, the owner of the tavern here, he gave him a severe lesson, but that night Jean had a full meal that he had not seen for a long time. Since then, Jean has been helping in the tavern as the adopted son of the owner Li Ji. .

"I miss you very much, right? Mr. Jean."

"What the hell is going on?"

Gene asked, Jamie shook his head, and he stood up. He was wearing old denim clothes and had a very old hairstyle.

"I can't get out, Mr. Jean, or I can only live in the past forever."

Gene asked.

"What happened?"

Jamie said with a sigh.

"I really miss my life in Bright City. Those days were my happiest time. I am very happy every day following Sister Le Xiao."

Gene walked over and stretched out his hand to touch Jamie. His body began to dissipate like smoke, and Gene felt extremely strange.

"Mr. Jean, you can understand me as a memory carrier. You can't touch me. Because you haven't seen the world of microns yet. Or you can't feel it. This is what Miss Ellie said. The world of existence.”

Gene nodded and then asked.

"Did you come back to warn me or something?"

Jamie shook his head.

"Everything is over, Mr. Jean. From the moment you embarked on this journey, nothing can be undone and nothing can be changed."

After Jamie finished speaking, he stood up and took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.

"Why are you here?"

Jamie said.

"Because someone destroyed the Ouroboros Passage, many strange things will happen when the passway is destroyed. It is not just the cities of past human societies that appear in your era, but more things will happen."

Gene stared at Jamie, who happily opened the bottle and drank.

"Mr. Jean, you won't have this memory, because things in the micron world are not allowed to leave. The same goes for memories."

"But why can I see you?"

Jamie said scratching his head.

"How do you explain it? In short, I feel very happy that Mr. Jean can see you again. This world is a huge multiple-choice question. No matter how you choose, there is only one answer in the end."

"Tell me what happened. If I can stop it, maybe I can change something."

Gene asked eagerly, and Jamie continued to shake his head.

"Do you know why humans repeat the same mistakes? Because humans have never changed since the beginning of their birth. The end of life is death, but humans have no end. Mr. Jean, we have tried our best, and you have also tried your best. So everything It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Jamie picked up the bottle and drank it in one gulp, then stood up and walked to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Gene saw the bustling street outside, but everything on the street was dark and looked like swaying water. Generally speaking, Jamie walked out, smiling and pressing his arm.

"There is no chance in this world Mr. Jean, there is only necessity."

"Is it related to Le Xiao?"

Gene asked and Jamie nodded.

"Sister Le Xiao has disappeared because you killed her yourself."

Gene's eyes widened and he looked at Jamie in disbelief. Jamie raised his head and said with a sad expression.

"You killed the last ray of hope in this world. But you were the one who brought this hope to this world. Goodbye Mr. Jean."

Jean chased out, but in a daze, Jean woke up.

"You better not go too far."

Gene shouted, and Tamai laughed in the distance.

"It's okay, Sir Jean, I'll go up and take a look."

Watching Tamai walk into the office building, Gene looked at the unlit cigarette in his hand. He felt that what he had just said was somewhat familiar, as if he had said it before.

After a while, Tamai came out of the office building. He came over to replace the oxygen block with a frustrated look on his face.

"Did you find anything?"

Tamai sighed.

"Why are humans in the past similar to us now? The structure of the office is also the same. Why don't you, Master Jean, create something new?"

Gene laughed.

"Because that kind of structure works more efficiently. This is the experience gained during the development of human society."

Jean felt quite strange, because he always felt like something was going on. At this time, those colorful barriers disappeared, and everyone became nervous. However, everything in front of them began to disappear quickly.

The entire dilapidated city was like fading light, its color instantly faded, and darkness was revealed. Soon, Jean and the others were standing on the broken land with only dust left, and only some traces of dilapidation could be seen around them.

The city that existed more than 200 years ago disappeared, and was replaced by the remains of a city that had gone through more than 200 years and was about to disappear.

"what's up?"

After a while, everyone else came over. Gene looked at the dark sky and smiled sadly.
