Chapter 71 Long Awaited! Finally Appeared!

The truth?

Lin Xian recalled that the night before, Chu Anqing came to his room to chat in the middle of the night, and was caught by Huang Que...

That night, Chu Anqing told him that she couldn't sleep, so she went to the training room to train for a while.

Then Huang Que came down from upstairs and saw her, and the two chatted, and Huang Que also told Chu Anqing about the space-time particles.

Isn't this the truth?

Is there something hidden?

And from what Chu Anqing said... Huang Que deliberately let Chu Anqing hide it from him, and his attitude was very serious.

He suddenly realized.

No wonder.

No wonder when Chu Anqing heard Huang Que's voice outside the door, she was very nervous and covered her mouth in fear.

And when she opened the door and was about to slip away and found Huang Que waiting for her, her hair was directly blown up by fear, like a sea urchin.

At that time, Lin Xian thought that Chu Anqing's reaction was too intense.

Even if a man and a woman are alone in the same room, it is easy to make people think too much...

But the two of them are innocent, they have nothing to fear, and they have a clear conscience. What is there to be afraid of? It's like being caught by a yellow bird.

Now, Lin Xian has finally thought it through.

He has a clear conscience.

But Chu Anqing has a guilty conscience, she is guilty!

Over there, Huang Que just sternly warned her not to tell Lin Xian, not to tell Lin Xian; but when she turned around, she was caught chatting in Lin Xian's room... This looks like she went to complain!

No wonder Chu Anqing was scared to death at that time, it turned out that there was a hidden story behind it.

"What's the truth?"

Lin Xian sat up and asked:

"What happened to you that day?"

Chu Anqing drank a drink with a straw, moistened her throat, and began to tell slowly.

The night before yesterday, she really couldn't sleep, so she went to the training room to practice by herself. This part is all true.

But just as she was practicing, she suddenly heard a fierce crackling sound in the bathroom next to her, accompanied by the sound of various pots and pans falling to the ground, and a violent cough.

At that time, Chu Anqing felt that someone must have had an accident, so she quickly ran to the bathroom next to her to check.

The result!

"At that time, the scene inside really scared me!"

Chu Anqing recalled it now, and she was also worried:

"The shelf in the bathroom collapsed, and everything on it fell to the ground, and Sister Huang Que fell in the mess, kneeling, supporting the floor with both hands, trembling all over, and coughing violently."

"I was scared at the time, and ran over quickly, trying to help Sister Huang Que up. But... she kept reaching out to push me away and didn't let me get close to her. And she kept burying her head down, no matter how I called her, she didn't raise her head, and didn't let me see her face."

"Then when I got up and was about to run out to call for people and doctors, she grabbed me again and said not to call Don't shout at anyone, just wait for her here. But she didn't raise her head the whole time... I really didn't know what to do at the time, so I just squatted beside her and watched. "

"Soon, she stopped coughing, her body stopped shaking, and her breathing calmed down. She looked up at me and smiled and said that she was fine, but she just felt a little uncomfortable. I was shocked and confused at the time. I looked up and down at her for a long time and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with her. Except for her messy hair and broken heels of her high heels, there seemed to be nothing wrong. "

"If I have to say... I don't know if it's an illusion, I just feel that the color of Sister Huang Que's eyes seems to be [ It was a little darker. Before, it was the kind of bright crystal blue that seemed to glow, very beautiful and deep; but when she raised her head, I felt that her blue eyes were not so bright... But, but this must be an illusion! I also know how the color of a person's pupils can change? It must be caused by the light in the bathroom at that time. "

"Then Sister Huang Que stood up as if nothing had happened. She told me that she didn't know what was going on. Just now, she suddenly had a stomachache, just like a cramp. It hurt so much that she couldn't stand steadily and fell down. She also knocked down the shelf where pots and pans were placed in the bathroom. She asked me to clean up with her because she didn't want to trouble others. I don't want others to know about this embarrassing thing. "

"It was at this time that she told me very seriously, seriously, and even sternly not to tell anyone about this. And she emphasized that I must not tell you, Senior Lin Xian... She might think that we have a good relationship, so she is afraid that I will tell you about her illness? Then we cleaned up the bathroom together, and then went to the training room. She told me about the space-time particles, and then she left. I also returned to the dormitory. On the way, I heard you making a phone call in the dormitory... You know what happened next. "

Lin Xian listened to Chu Anqing's description in full and understood the whole story.

In fact, most of what Chu Anqing said before was true.

It's nothing more than omitting the part where Huang Que fell in the bathroom due to pain.

But...

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.

Why did she specifically tell me to keep this from me?

And so serious?

It shouldn't be that serious...

Who doesn't feel uncomfortable sometimes? Lin Xian can understand if this happens to anyone. Sometimes when kidney stones or appendicitis occur, the pain is worse than death. Lin Xian has seen many such cases over the years and does not look down on anyone because of them.

Ridiculous, who would look down on someone because of such a thing?

So, Huang Que asked Chu Anqing to keep this a secret from him...

[It’s not because of face issues. 】

What else could be the problem?

Lin Xian paid attention to the details Chu Anqing just said...

First of all, Huangque didn't let Chu Anqing call someone or ask for help, and after a while, she acted like nothing happened.

This means that she is not sick. She knows that she does not need help. She knows that she will be fine in a while, so she stops Chu Anqing from calling for help.

Secondly, she never let Chu Anqing look at her face. Chu Anqing could clearly feel this deliberateness.

Excluding face issues or the silly reason of worrying about ruining the image with a ferocious expression...The most likely reason is that Huangque is afraid that something on her face will be seen by others, or that there is something on her face at that time, and she doesn't want anyone else to see it. People know.

Finally, and most importantly.

[The issue of eye color. 】

VV also said, and Lin Xian himself could feel it, that Huang Que's crystal blue eyes were absolutely abnormal.

It can't be natural.

No one can have such eyes that seem to flow, resemble stars, and be so bright.

Don't say it doesn't happen in reality.

This kind of pupils that give the illusion of glowing is rarely seen in cartoons. Whose eyes can look like LED lights?

It’s not like I haven’t paid attention to this issue before.

But what's the use of caring?

It's a fact that her eyes are like this. Even if it's biologically impossible, they are already on her face, so they can't be picked out and studied.

Chu Anqing said that she noticed that the brightness of Huang Que's crystal blue eyes had dimmed.

Lin Xian recalled the oriole outside the door that night and the oriole he saw in the next two days, and the brightness of his pupils returned to normal.

this……

Lin Xian was speechless for a moment.

Isn't this guy a robot?

out of battery?

Then secretly changed the battery?

This is a bit ridiculous...

Let alone 2024 now, even if the oriole really traveled from 600 years later, Lin Xian believes that robots will never be as flexible as humans.

Moreover, at the astronaut training base, physical examinations and blood draws were often performed... He saw the blood being drawn from Huang Que's arm with his own eyes, and even had meals and drinks together.

Besides, if you take a plane or go abroad, you need to go through security checks. If she were a robot, she would have been discovered long ago.

In short, forget the speculation about robots or something, it’s too ridiculous.

Let’s summarize what we just thought.

Lin Xian believes that the most reasonable guess answer is——

[Assuming that Huangque is a time traveler, there must be something wrong with her body. Is it because there is not enough time? Or is the body about to disappear? Or...is it attacked by certain laws of space and time, such as the elasticity of space and time? 】

Um?

Lin Xian felt that the inspiration at that moment really seemed to hit his core.

[Attack of the law of time and space! 】

If these time travelers are doing something that changes the cause and effect of time and space, will they suffer some backlash even if they are within the elasticity of time and space?

If this theory is correct.

Then Lin Xian had new curiosity...

Changes within the elasticity of space and time will suffer backlash.

What if you do something that exceeds the elasticity of time and space?

what happens?

Will it be forcibly eliminated and the paradox prevented by the power of time and space?

Not sure...

Lin Xian felt that the more he thought about it, the more fantasy it became. These were things that had no evidence at all.

"Are there any other details to add?"

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at Chu Anqing.

Chu Anqing shook her head:

"Nothing else. After cleaning up the bathroom, Sister Huangque threw away her broken pair of high heels and replaced them with a pair of flat shoes from the training room."

"I see."

Lin Xian whispered:

"No wonder she came outside my dormitory door that day, and when we thought she was leaving, there was no sound of high heels clicking on the ground. It turned out that she had changed into flat shoes."

"If she had been wearing the same high heels that night, we would have heard her approaching, and we wouldn't have noticed until she knocked on the door."

This way.

A lot of things do make sense.

"Maybe Huangque doesn't want us to worry too much." Lin Xian said casually:

"She is so old, much older than us. She is the commander-in-chief and has great powers. She must be much more powerful than us. I think you don't need to worry too much about her. She will definitely handle everything."

"On the contrary..."

Lin Xian was a little confused and looked at Chu Anqing:

"Why do you think of her when you hear this song?"

"Because Sister Huangque is really [lonely]!" Chu Anqing said:

"Didn't you realize? Sister Huangque is always alone. She...she is like a gust of wind that does not belong to this world. No matter where it blows, she has no sense of home and does not belong anywhere."

"Think about it. First of all, let's not worry about whether Huangque is her real name. We don't know her age, but she must be in her thirties. A woman of this age...she is married Does she have a husband? Does she have any children? According to our observation... she doesn't have any."

"Her cell phone never rang, whether it was a phone ringtone or a WeChat ringtone... It seemed like she really had no family, no friends, no social interaction, and no one to talk to."

"In front of us, she always behaves very reliable and powerful, and can handle everything. But... none of these things can change her loneliness! It's like she is not from this world. I understand that she has no friends, Don’t you have any family members? You can’t just pop out of a rock, right?”

"And the thing I don't understand the most is..."

Chu Anqing paused.

He rubbed the drink cup with his hands and said softly:

"This time we take a space plane to capture space-time particles in space. Even if I don't understand this very well, I can see that this is not an easy task. You and Teacher Liu Feng have good reasons. You want space-time particles; Senior Gao Yang and I are your friends. We have this relationship and we will definitely come to help you. But...where is Sister Huangque?"

Chu Anqing raised her head, blinked her eyes, and looked at Lin Xian as if questioning her soul:

"[Sister Huangque doesn't want space-time particles... Then what is her reason for helping you so wholeheartedly?]"

For a moment.

Lin Xian was stunned.

He really never thought about this problem!

He has never been sincerely grateful to Huang Que, and always complained that Huang Que was the Riddler.

He had never thought about this problem.

because……

The oriole has always been "leading" him.

Huang Que will pave the way for him every step of the way, reminding him of the cat-and-mouse game, reminding him to pay attention to Zheng Chenghe, reminding him that there is what he wants in the mirror, getting the aerospace plane for him in advance, and waiting at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. He also made a special trip to the United States to rescue Chu Anqing, who was cheering on the scene.

this……

from this angle.

Huang Que dotes on herself so much, almost like a mother dotes on her son... Although it is a bit excessive to say this, but in fact, Huang Que is indeed like this, caringly guiding herself every step of the way.

So much so.

So long.

I actually took this as a matter of course, as it should be.

But Huangque doesn't owe herself anything.

"..."

Lin Xian fell silent.

He changed his sitting position.

Rethink this question.

Still can't find a reasonable answer.

Chu Anqing is right.

Oriole was not targeted by the Seven Deadly Sins, nor was she targeted by Kevin Walker, and she did not need space-time particles... So why did she play house with her so thoughtfully?

Didi!

Lin Xian's watch made a light sound.

I raised my wrist and saw that it was the reminder I had set. It was already 10:30 pm.

"It's time to go back."

Lin Xian turned his wrist and showed Chu Anqing the time:

"It's time."

"Hey~~ so fast!" Chu Anqing seemed to have not had enough fun:

"Oh, so does Sister Huangque. Why don't you let us finish the New Year's Eve and countdown to the New Year before going back."

"Maybe for safety reasons."

Lin Xian stood up and pointed to the door:

"Let's go, the special car that brought us here is waiting outside."

After one hour.

This black car with a white license plate drove into the secret training base for astronauts that had no door plate and no mark on the map.

After parking, Lin Xian and Chu Anqing got out of the car.

I found Oriole standing in front of the hall steps majestically as always, looking at the two people with environmentally friendly arms:

"An Qing, your father sent you something to the space agency. Because this mission is top secret, he couldn't tell him that you were here, so he asked his colleagues to send it to the space agency and leave it at the door of your dormitory."

"Wow, what is it!"

Chu Anqing was very happy to receive gifts from her family at the last moment of New Year's Eve and the turn of the old year to the new year.

Obviously impatient.

She waved to Lin Xian:

"Senior Lin Xian, I'm going back first! I'll see what my dad gave me... If there's something delicious, I'll share it with everyone later!"

After that, she jumped away.

The car with a white license plate also turned and left.

Lin Xian and Huang Que were the only two people left in the front yard of this huge base.

If it were before...

Lin Xian might complain about the oriole, whether it's the access control or the Riddler.

but now.

After hearing what Chu Anqing said.

He didn't know what to say to Huang Que.

"hehe."

Huang Que was still the same, smiling proudly and confidently, and looked at the watch on her wrist:

February 9, 2024, 23:59:34

"You really know how to get stuck."

Lin Xian spread his hands:

"The road is too congested, but I listened to you and got on the bus at half past ten. Speaking of which... we are not children, so what if we are late? As long as I follow Chu Anqing, nothing will happen."

boom! ! boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

The distant sky.

Fireworks abound.

Welcome the new year and bid farewell to the old one.

In the sound of wind, you can still hear the fierce sound of firecrackers coming from the distance.

It seems.

It's the new year.

Ding dong!

Just at the first second of the Spring Festival, a WeChat notification popped up on Lin Xian's phone.

He picked up the screen and saw that it was a WeChat message from Zhao Yingjun.

He clicked on the screen to see what message was sent.

"Lin Xian."

The voice of the oriole came from the front.

Lin Xian raised his head.

At the same time, the chat page between WeChat and Zhao Yingjun popped up, and Huangque’s voice also came simultaneously——

【Happy New Year. 】"Happy New Year."

Just like watching a movie, Lin Xian heard the sound and saw the subtitles at the same time.

At this moment, I received the same New Year's greetings from two women.

He nodded.

Looking at the oriole:

"Thank you, and I wish you... a happy new year!"

Oriole tilted her head and smiled.

Putting his hands into his coat pockets, he turned around straightly and walked into the hall with high heels clicking on the ground.

"That's it..."

Lin Xian chuckled, typed on his phone, and replied to Zhao Yingjun:

"Thank you, and I wish you... a happy new year!"

Go back to dorms.

I was really tired after spending a whole day shopping with Chu Anqing.

Shopping feels more tiring than daily training.

After washing up, I lay on the bed and checked the time.

00:27

"Go to sleep."

It's so tiring.

After covering himself with the quilt, Lin Xian fell asleep almost instantly.

call……

The dry and hot summer wind blows in my face.

Before I went to bed and washed up, I still felt chilly. This time I fell into a dream, it was the summer at the end of August, and it was really a world of ice and fire.

open one's eyes.

In front of him, he was still surrounded by dozens of armed soldiers.

Same script as hundreds of times before.

The man dressed as the captain came out and threw out an electronic arrest warrant:

"Lin Xian! Now you will be arrested in accordance with the law for crimes against humanity, crimes against the earth, and crimes against time and space!"

hehe.

Lin Xian smiled indifferently and raised his head to the sky——

suddenly!

He opens his eyes wide!

I saw the silent sky countless times before!

At this moment!

There were actually a dozen huge balloon airships floating far and near!

Each one is huge!

Fly slowly!

Brightly lit!

Pressing down on this city, it's like an invading fleet!

On these dozen huge balloon airships, the same shining advertising slogan was printed in the largest fonts——

【The best time capsule in the world! Celebrating the 600th anniversary of Thame Bank! 】
