Sometimes, Xia Zhiye also feels a little resentful.
Although he also knew that Gu Yi had his own helplessness, propositions like cause and effect often made people helpless.
The most helpless thing is... what is known will change.
Then if we intervene based on known clues, the final result may turn the originally known into the unknown, and cause things to fall into an irretrievable quagmire.
It is precisely because of this that Ancient One always behaves like a mystic.
She looked like she knew everything but didn't tell you, which made Xia Zhiye strongly persuade her to write a book... The title of the book was: How a charlatan was made!
Spreading his hands, Xia Zhiye said helplessly: "Since you knew I would come to you, then obviously you should be prepared to tell me something. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to turn back after hearing what you just said."
"Time will give us the answer."
Gu Yi looked at Xia Zhiye with a smile on his face: "Your existence makes our world different."
Xia Zhiye feels that this sentence can be highlighted. I don’t know if it will be tested, but it is obviously very important.
"Our world?" Xia Zhiye chewed over this sentence: "So, what kind of changes have taken place between our world and other worlds?"
"As you can see."
Ancient One said so again.
"...The person who came from another world?" Xia Zhiye did not say Natasha's name.
Gu Yi nodded: "It is the beginning, and also the end. Facing destruction, you will not be willing to accept it, right?"
"Who?" Xia Zhiye asked.
Ancient One shook his head.
Xia Zhiye fell silent, lost in thought.
Stephen next to him felt like he was listening to a foreign language!
From the beginning to the end, he had no idea what the two people were talking about. Was it a new type of cold joke? Was he unable to hear the joke because his knowledge was not enough
With doubt, he looked at Xia Zhiye.
He had an impression of this person.
Later experiences deepened his impression of summer nights.
The first time we met was when an Asian man suddenly appeared and was as enthusiastic as a human trafficker who was planning to kidnap me.
It was hardly a satisfactory encounter, but he had heard the man's name more than once in this place since.
Gradually I came to know what he had done.
It's not to the point of reverence or anything like that, but I do admire him a little.
However, many things were still just rumors to him. He had never seen the so-called fear or chaos, so he still didn't have much idea about what Xia Zhiye had actually done.
And now, looking at this guy with a frown on his face, as if he was really thinking about something important for humanity, an inexplicable sense of absurdity arises involuntarily.
So he thought about it for a moment and said, "Can I ask a question?"
Xia Zhiye, who was in deep thought, and Gu Yi, who was sitting there with a dignified look, both fixed their eyes on him.
Stephen coughed and said, "If what you are talking about is limited to the two of you, then what am I doing here?"
Xia Zhiye's eyes lit up slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Gu Yi smiled and said to Xia Zhiye: "The last piece."
"Then I'm leaving." After Xia Zhiye finished speaking, he patted Stephen's shoulder and said, "If you encounter any problems, you can call me at any time. I am your senior brother and I am waiting for you 24 hours a day."
"Huh?" Stephen was even more confused. What the hell
Looking at Gu Yi, Gu Yi nodded. Stephen couldn't help but complain in his heart, why don't you say something? Even if you nod, I don't know what you mean!
Looking at Xia Zhiye again, he is indeed a man of action. He leaves when he says he will, without any hesitation at all.
Gu Yi walked down from his seat, stood beside Stephen, and watched Xia Zhiye leave.
Stephen finally couldn't help asking, "Did I say anything weird?"
Gu Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's not strange, it's just that you don't understand it yet."
“… Then when will I understand?”
"Not for long."
Gu Yi looked at Xia Zhiye's back, then raised his gaze to the moon in the sky: "Wait until changes occur there."
“…The moon?” Stephen was confused: “Lunar eclipse?”
I thought this was the only change I could think of. Apparently, the cultural influence is still insufficient. Otherwise, at least there would be something like Nine Stars in a Row, The Moon Eclipped by a Heavenly Dog, Chang'e Falling Down, etc...
Gu Yi probably despised Stephen for being uneducated, so he didn't continue.
With his hands behind his back, he looked up.
Stephen followed.
After watching for ten minutes, Gu Yi finally spoke: "Mr. Stephen."
"Hmm?" Stephen perked up, thinking that Gu Yi wanted to give him some instructions in person.
Gu Yi's expression was very gentle and kind, and he spoke in a nonchalant tone: "When are you going to go back to bed?"
"… "
Stephen could feel that the air seemed to become solidified, and then he said in a more casual tone: “Now.”
…
…
The next day!
In the Caspian camp.
Xia Zhiye fulfilled his promise. After sending Li Xiaomi to work, he went straight to the Caspian Camp.
There was still half an hour before the meeting, and Xia Zhiye sat in his room thinking about what he had considered yesterday.
Ancient One’s words are very interesting. Although they seem to be unrelated, there are always some things that are entangled together.
Xia Zhiye sorted things out step by step and finally came to a conclusion.
"The so-called final piece of the puzzle... is it Dormammu?"
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and then Xia Zhiye turned on the decomposition machine.
After staring for a moment, a smile appeared on his lips: "Then, what we are waiting for is probably time..."
"But, when talking about the future Natasha, what did Ancient One mean by that sentence?"
Xia Zhiye scratched his head gently: "The beginning, and also the end. Facing destruction, I am unwilling to accept it... Who is unwilling to accept it? Is it Natasha's helplessness in the face of Thanos? Or... some other existence? Natasha's coming here is just a beginning? Then when will the end come?"
Thoughts rolled out one after another, and fell back down in an instant.
Even though he thought about this problem all night last night, he still couldn't figure it out.
But Ancient One has already given the time to get the answer. At least if you still can't figure it out, when things develop to that time, everything will appear before you.
Someone knocked on the door. Xia Zhiye picked up the piece of paper in front of him. As soon as he thought about it, flames rose and in the blink of an eye, the piece of paper turned into ashes.
I opened the door and saw Natasha waiting outside: "It's about to start."
