Zhou Lin - Chapter 250 Bloodline

In the afternoon, Carmen walked into the bookstore.

Tianyi was still sitting behind his old desk, reading and drinking coffee.

He seemed to be in this state every time anyone visited.

But in fact, people who really know him know that when you have the idea of ​​visiting him, he already knows when you will come, so it is difficult for you to judge what he is doing at ordinary times.

What a rare visitor. Tianyi took the initiative to say hello to Carmen.

Carmen walked to the desk and said without sitting down, I want to see Lance.

Well… Tianyi muttered in a deep voice, It’s really rude to open your mouth and let others do things.

Carmen said: You can make conditions, and I can agree to anything.

Tian Yi didn’t even raise his eyelids, he still read the book, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and then said: Girls, don’t say such lines all the time.

I didn’t want to ask for help… Carmen continued, One week after Lance disappeared, I found the priest and asked him about Lance’s origin and whereabouts; and then in the past few months, I Did a lot of research trying to figure out a way to track down Lance, but I only came to one conclusion…

That means ‘I am the only one on earth who can help you now’, right? Tian Yi said.

Of course… Carmen continued, You have already mastered the situations I mentioned through the Book of Hearts.

I am not Zi Lin, and my reliance on the Book of Heart is not as strong as you think. Tian Daodao, I can know what you just said through simple reasoning… In fact, from The few seconds between the moment you walked into my bookstore and the words ‘rare guest’ popped out of my mouth were all the time I spent on reasoning.

Okay, anything is fine. Carmen said, Can you help me?

Of course. Tianyi responded in a very casual tone, No matter how you say it, you are also a direct descendant of an old friend of mine. He also did a lot of things for me this time without a single complaint. This is a small favor. I should still give it back to him, but…

As soon as he changed the subject, Carmen asked eagerly: Is there any difficulty?

I don’t have any difficulties. It’s you who have difficulties. Tianyi continued, You have also done research for several months. With your intelligence that is on par with Lance, you should have understood that human beings are …No matter the body or the soul, it is impossible to travel safely between two parallel universes, not even extremely high-level ability users.

Indeed, I know that. Carmen said, But there should be exceptions that I don’t know about, right?

Haha… That’s right. Tianyi put down the book with a smile, took another sip of coffee, and said unhurriedly, First of all, there are some ways to travel directly through the ‘Tao Sect’ with the physical body. The ancients Those who say ‘ascension’ are the ones who have found a method; however, the methods of Taoism all depend on ‘chance’. Some people start practicing boy’s skills and practice until old age and death without success, and some people just do it casually. You traveled through time after practicing for half a year… With your overly serious character, you probably are not suitable for taking this path.

What else? Carmen asked.

Also, a small number of god-level ability users whose abilities are related to time travel can also travel safely. Tian Yi replied.

It seems I’m not suitable for this either. Carmen said.

Tianyi nodded: Or, we can use the power of ‘ghosts and gods’.

Are you? Carmen asked directly.

I…don’t count. Tian Daoyao, At least not the kind of ghosts and gods in the ‘magic’ system. By the way, there are no such high-ranking ghosts and gods in the reality dimension of our universe. Unless you die, go If you go to another dimension, you might have a chance to meet a few of them.

Carmen said: Do I have to die first?

Tianyi waved his hand: No need, because there is another way, and that is ‘science’.

I have already studied all the ‘scientific’ methods. Carmen said, But… I think you are talking about some kind of science that I don’t know about that surpasses the current level of human civilization, right?

Exactly. Tian said.

Then what are we waiting for? Carmen said, I can leave now.

Don’t worry. Tian Yiyi said, There are still a few things I need to explain to you first.

Say it. Carmen was still very anxious.

Tian Daodao: Generally speaking, if you go, you can’t come back.

Lance is not here, why should I come back? Carmen asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

Tianyi smiled again and said: My method can only guarantee that your soul and memory will be intact in the past, but your body will be shattered into basic particles in the universe during the journey, so when you get there Afterwards, it will be like ‘bringing a corpse back to life’, possessing someone who has just died.

Carmen thought for a while and then continued: Does that mean that I might possess someone who is dying in the ICU and is being rescued, such as patients with advanced tumors, victims of traffic accidents, and people with sudden cerebral hemorrhage? People waiting?”

This is indeed a problem she has to consider. What if she just traveled through the past and died after being rescued for two minutes, or traveled to someone who was not alive and had no ability to move, or became paralyzed or paralyzed after being rescued? If she is in a vegetative state…then she will be gone in vain.

You can rest assured that I will say hello to my ‘friend over there’ and ask him to place you with a little girl whose biological age is close to Lance. Tian Yiyi said, If you need it, I can even help you Ask him to take special care of you and arrange you to live in a rich man’s home. After all, there are billions of people on the earth over there, so it is not difficult to find a time when a rich lady dies unexpectedly.

Can the time also be chosen? Carmen asked.

Of course. Tian Yiyi said, ‘Time’ is not linear in nature. Traveling between two parallel universes can go to any point in time; for example, a person from Universe A in 1900 travels to Universe B. If he travels back 20 years later, he may not necessarily go back to 1920 in Universe A. He may go back to 1900 in Universe A, the day he left, or he may go back to 1980, or 1400.

I see. Carmen pondered for a moment and then continued, But you just said that you would place me with someone whose biological age is close to Lance’s. There is a time limit, right?

Yes. Tian Yi said, Because I plan to send you to a certain time shortly after Lance returns.

Well… Carmen thought for a moment and said, Although I have already heard the priest say it, I still want to confirm… Lance is still a child ‘over there’, right?

Physically, I’m about ten years old. Tianyi replied, But mentally, I’m much older than you.

Heh… OK. Carmen said, The little girl is fine, or maybe just right…

I don’t know what she was thinking, but she gave a rare and somewhat evil smile.

It seems that you are not only not worried, but also looking forward to it, so I’m relieved. Tianyi said, stood up, and opened the door behind him, The first room on the left in the corridor, remember to knock… My wife will explain to you some details related to time travel to prevent you from causing unnecessary trouble when you get there; I will prepare some things in a while and call you when I am ready.

Carmen responded and walked in. When she passed by Tianyi, she suddenly remembered something again and continued: By the way… Speaking of not caring… She paused, Although I and my I’m not familiar with this ancestor, but the ‘old friend’ you mentioned is undoubtedly Mr. Krauser Wittstock, right?”

It’s him. Tianyi replied, What, you want to see him before you leave?

Is that okay? Carmen asked.

Unfortunately, if you had come a day and a half earlier, you could have found him in a nearby laboratory. He should still have time to chat for a few words. Tian Yiyi said, But he happens to have some personal matters to go to at the moment. Do it…otherwise you wait another day and try again tomorrow…

That’s not necessary. Carmen interrupted him, I just asked casually. After all, he is a legendary figure and my ancestor, so I want to meet him… Since it’s not a coincidence, let’s forget it.

After saying that, she walked back into the door.

Tianyi glanced at her back, closed the door smoothly, then sat back behind the desk, picked up the coffee, and said to himself: It’s okay if I don’t see you… He shrugged, You two are not at all. For example, your ancestor is much gentler than you, and he is kind to everyone except yourself… How is it like you, chasing a little devil across the universe for your own pleasure?

…………

That day, dusk.

In a hospital ward.

An old man was sitting in a wheelchair in front of the window, looking at the sunset with dull eyes.

And Krauser stood behind him, watching him silently.

This old man’s name is Ji Jue.

Half a month ago, he looked like he was only about forty years old, but now, his appearance has become that of eighty or ninety years old, and he is extremely haggard, with a hint of pain on his face.

There is no doubt that this is caused by Draya’s curse.

At first, Ji Jue didn’t know what Delaya had done to him; apart from the fact that his physical condition had changed to that of an ordinary person and he was no longer able to use abilities or sense energy, he didn’t think there was anything else abnormal.

Until…the moment he fell asleep.

He only slept for four hours that night, but in his dream, he experienced about four months.

The content of the dream was that he was playing a survival game on the Celestial Island with the physical fitness of an ordinary person; but in this game, there were no competitors, no one to take advantage of, and no intelligent life to communicate with. There is only endless danger and terror.

In this dream, he will not grow or awaken any powers. He will always be an ordinary person.

He couldn’t sleep in this dream, but the fatigue and pain would continue to accumulate.

He fell from the cliff and felt the severe pain of broken bones and waited quietly for death; he fell into a trap and slowly bled to death; he was torn into pieces and eaten by animals; he was caught, tortured and killed by monsters… Every death he experienced was extremely real and painful. Every time when the pain reached the extreme, he started the next round of the game.

That night, after waking up, Ji Jue looked in the mirror and found that she had aged five or six years overnight.

It was obvious that the tremendous mental torture had caused changes in his body, which should have been very long-lived.

He knew that this kind of dream was definitely abnormal, and he also speculated that it might be related to Delea. In order to avoid falling into this horrible nightmare again, he hurriedly started taking drugs to prevent himself from falling asleep.

This method kept him from falling asleep or entering the nightmare for the next four days.

But on the fifth day, something even more terrifying happened…

Because of the effect of the drug, although he could not go through any stage of a normal person’s sleep cycle, he began to experience symptoms of mind wandering.

People like Ji Jue usually don’t get distracted because his brain is very developed and has been trained for many years; he doesn’t daydream like other people or get distracted by thinking about things for a long time. He is always in progress. Thinking rationally.

But the denial of sleep and the side effects of the medication destroyed his brain, and he began to mind-wander frequently.

And as soon as he lost his mind, Delea’s curse came quietly.

It can be as short as thirty minutes or as long as one hour. If converted into the time in a dream, that is, every time he wanders away, he will be tortured in that dream for half a month to a month, and the number of times he wanders away in a day , also gradually developed from three or five times to more than ten times, and there is a trend of more and more times.

In just half a month, his spirit has collapsed, and he is only awake for a short time every day. During the time when he was awake, the nursing staff in the hospital could feed him something to eat; his toilet problem was basically solved with a urinary catheter and adult diapers…

If he continues to be tortured like this, it is estimated that in another half month, he will completely become a vegetative state and live in that nightmare forever 24 hours a day.

Seeing Ji Jue like this, Krauze also felt very complicated.

Although they are not related by blood, Ji Jue can be considered a descendant of Krause’s adoptive father (the last emperor of the former empire more than a hundred years ago).

Ironically, Krause, a man who was not of the Wittstock family, had his surname adopted by his descendants, while Ji Jue, a man who was truly related to the former imperial royal family, had already changed his surname.

Maybe I shouldn’t care about this… When he said this, Krauze had been standing behind Ji Jue for a long time. He finally said it because he finally waited for the other party to come back to his senses, Perhaps you deserve this torture, and you should repay the pain you brought to Delea, but… he said, raising a hand, Let’s forget it, at least in my opinion, That’s enough.

It is true as Tianyi said, Krause is a relatively soft-hearted person, and his personal business today is to give Ji Jue some relief and relief.

However, just when Krause’s hand was about to fall, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

After a brief hesitation, he put his hand down again.

Then, Krauser turned around, quickly walked out of the ward, and glanced meaningfully to one side of the corridor, then left in the other direction.

A minute later, at the corner of the corridor in the direction that Krauser had glanced at, an elevator stopped on this floor.

The elevator door opened and a man came out.

His name is Zhang San, and his real name is-Ji Qi.

Jiqi still looks like that. He looks about forty years old, Asian, slightly fat, and plain-looking. He is wearing a shirt and jeans that are neither very expensive nor cheap. He looks like a passerby everywhere.

He walked straight to Ji Jue’s ward, almost without stopping, and came to the other party’s side step by step.

After standing still, Ji Qi put his right hand on Ji Jue’s left shoulder. Like the latter, he faced the sunset outside the window and said calmly: Don’t worry, father, your pain will be over soon.

Ji Jue heard this, but he was unable to respond, even if he could raise his head to look at the other person, he couldn’t.

However, the words father still let Ji Jue know the identity of the other party.

Even though she had been separated from her son for many years, even though she was old, dim, and mentally exhausted, Ji Jue still believed that the person talking to her at this moment was Ji Qi; after all, she was already a useless person, and no one had any need to lie to him again.

I know you must have used the ‘Book of Lies’ to find me. I believe you can also deduce…the reason why you can’t find me is because Boss Tian has blocked the clues. Jiqi did not intend to wait for his father to respond. He just continued to talk to himself, I can tell you, he not only blocked the clues you used to find me through other people, but also blocked my true voice… When he said this, he paused, and then said, Yes, you are right, Zi Lin can’t see my true feelings.”

Cough– Ji Jue squeezed out a few sounds from his mouth, but couldn’t speak. However, he seemed very excited and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Jiqi patted his father’s shoulder lightly again, comforted him, and said: This era belongs to Zilin. This is the judgment of the leader and the inevitable fate of fate; therefore, in the same way, the next era must be It will belong to me…but it will take many years, maybe one hundred or two hundred years…but that day will eventually come.

When Jiqi said this, he raised his head and sighed: Unfortunately, father, your time will never come because you don’t understand the leader…

You despise him and even think you can replace him…

Zi Lin is right, you are a hero, and because of this, at the end of this troubled world, you lost to ordinary people.

I no longer expect you to understand Tianyi or Zilin, and I don’t expect you to understand me either.

Don’t judge right or wrong based on success or failure. Until the very end, you won’t admit your mistakes or regret. Even in the face of eternal hell, you will keep your head high and move forward. This is the true nature of a hero.

So, please go without any regrets. I will take back the regrets you have left on your behalf next time… from this world…

When the word world came out of Ji Qi’s mouth, Ji Qi gently tapped Ji Jue’s neck with a ring hidden with a poisonous needle.

In less than five seconds, the poison spread throughout Ji Jue’s body, causing her heart and brain functions to stop instantly.

The legendary Juizun, just like an ordinary old man, sat quietly in a wheelchair and died in the hospital ward.

Under the setting sun, his old face seemed to still have a smile on it at the last moment.
