Time is a wonderful thing.
It proves its existence by the change of things. It is only a constant parameter used to describe the process, but it allows people to perceive its length according to the change of mood.
For the monsoon season, it was just a sleep, and there were only 13 hours left, and he had no idea what to do.
For Song Qinglan, seconds were like the sun.
After he said those words when he came back in the monsoon season, he didn't actually sleep much, at best he only slept for four or five hours. Song Qinglan didn't have too many things to think about, and she also vaguely knew how she felt about him during the monsoon, and knew that she couldn't run away during the monsoon.
But Song Qinglan found out for the first time that he was so impatient.
He still has a bunch of things he wants to say, but he has to wait for Ji Yushi to express his position.
Song Qinglan didn't know how to flirt, and she didn't chase anyone, she just did what she wanted to do, and said whatever she wanted to say. After he said "time is so slow", he paused for a second when he saw Ji Yu's hand holding a fork, and knew not to push people too quickly.
Just reminded, Song Qinglan no longer talked to Ji Yushi on private channels, anyway, there will be time to talk slowly in the future.
"At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone will make a personal video report." Song Qinglan looked at her watch and said to everyone at the table, "What should I say, I have already explained it to the inspection department before. This video report tells you all about it. The experience of the day is good to say, but whether you need a more detailed written report, it depends on the situation.”
Zhou Mingxuan said strangely: "So good this time? Don't we need to write a written report?"
"Really? Oral?"
"Anything like this?"
Everyone felt a little flattered.
In the bubble world, they seriously wrote dozens of pages of written reports.
"On the one hand, of course, because I fought for it."
Song Qinglan said calmly, he actually spent a lot of time talking about this, but fortunately, the reason is tenable—no one in the sky has ever done so many high-intensity tasks in a row, and he pays more attention to physical fitness and mental health. case, so the above will let them make a video report.
"On the other hand, it's because the situation here is different from the bubble world."
He told everyone what he had learned: "The 'sky dome in the sense of all times' has been officially connected to our sky system, and we call our system a subsystem, and it is the parent system."
Everyone on the table looked at each other.
A feeling crept up quietly in the hearts of everyone, not a fear, but very uncomfortable.
Everyone knows that this "sky in the sense of all times" is the self-ideology produced by the sky system. Humans think of themselves as creators, but when they create something far beyond their imagination and can control them in turn, they are afraid.
"After it is connected to our system, it automatically settles all the tasks we have completed in the system. Our task experience, the time coordinates of arrival, and the completed task goals are all recorded in detail, without us one by one. I'll explain." Song Qinglan said, "I believe you also saw the task settlement prompt when you came back."
The crowd nodded.
Indeed they all saw it.
"Then it can now directly control our system?"
"I'm afraid to think about it, will we be in charge of the system from now on, or will the system be in charge of us?"
"Is this thing no one has discovered its existence before?"
Song Qinglan leaned on the back of the chair, her long legs seemed to have nowhere to rest, and her expression became a little darker: "I don't know the specific situation, the higher-level department is in a lot of trouble because of this incident, so there is nothing to embarrass us, just let us We re-describe the task from our own point of view, and the form is not limited for the time being. But I see the current situation, it seems that it does not mean to directly manage the system beyond its authority... "
"smart system."
Said suddenly during the rainy season.
Everyone looked up.
When the monsoon rains just made his sense of existence weaker: "… "
He tried his best to ignore the strange new way of getting along with him, eating fruit and said: "The sky has self-awareness, I think it is not only going to hijack us to complete the tasks it planned, but also according to it in all times. data analysis, intervene in our current task, and determine whether our task should be carried out.”
Zhou Mingxuan asked, "So, does it mean to help time and space maintain stability?"
"I guess so." Ji Yushi said, "We don't know when it appeared, maybe we saw several results in several time and space a long time later."
No matter in the bubble world or in this world, quite a few people are opposed to the time-space transition.
The large-scale opposition and parade will not only happen at the beginning of the event. Perhaps, as the monsoon said, the future human beings will finally have devastating results because of their touch on time and space. Such as pu-31, such as Chaos, such as the bubble world, those are things that should not happen.
But the contribution of the sky to mankind is also obvious to all. It avoids war, heralds natural disasters, and nips the possible terrorist-violent-violent attacks in the bud, so that their precarious time and space can continue indefinitely.
Therefore, the sky system is an existence that cannot be abandoned by humans, and someone must find a suitable way to manage the space-time transition.
Duan Wen remembered something and said: "I remember when I first entered the sky, I seem to have heard people talk about this topic. It is said that someone has raised similar opinions since the official development of the sky system, but they belong to the scientific madman in the team faction. , is also the one who thinks too extreme, and everyone's results are not very good."
"Old Duan, what other unofficial history can you say?" Zhou Mingxuan became interested.
Duan Wen has been in the sky for the longest time, and he knows more about secret topics no matter how true or false: "Let's talk about it in our team, and we will write a review when we talk about it outside." He lowered his volume, "Say yes... that group of people are researching what? Space-time maintenance-stability, space-time continuity, and intelligent systems have been proposed very early. According to them, they are somehow crazy, sick, and even some people commit suicide."
Everyone present looked surprised, Song Qinglan thought of something: "I think I heard Xie Sian say it."
In the space capsule, Xie Sian once mentioned a professor surnamed Sheng, saying that he had made a great contribution to the sky, but finally committed suicide at a young age.
Thinking of something like that, Song Qinglan suddenly remembered something. Of the two passersby they saw in the Rubik's Cube, one of them seemed to be surnamed Sheng—
"So." Ji Yushi interrupted his thoughts and brought the topic back, "This so-called parent system may be a balance method that will emerge someday in the future."
People never stop thinking about time and space.
As guardians, they are even more so.
Song Qinglan had been thinking about this question since she was kidnapped. Seeing that everyone's expressions were bad, she knocked on the table and said, "Whether you want to maintain the stability of time and space, or control the sky, the World Time Management Alliance will find a way to find it. A suitable way, that is not something we can control. All we need to do now is to finish the video report, go home, rest, and forget about that.”
Tang Le was the first to come back to his senses: "Then can we still have three months off this time?!"
Li Chun said excitedly: "Yes! We have been given a three-month fucking vacation in the bubble world. Should Minister Wang feel more distressed than Minister Qi?"
Duan Wen: "Not necessarily, we are Minister Qi's savior, that's different."
Tang Qi poured cold water: "Wake up, what determines the length of the vacation is the psychological evaluation report."
The topic was quickly diverted.
Everyone talked about the task settlement rewards from the holiday, and also talked about the new rating rewards.
The monsoon rains slowed down eating.
Perhaps he was really too hungry, and Song Qinglan ate most of the meal she had prepared.
Song Qinglan looked at the dinner plate, the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling.
He knew that what was left on the dinner plate was something he didn't like to eat during the monsoon.
"gone."
Song Qinglan only shouted when Ji Yushi finished eating.
All stand up.
The dining room chairs were pushed around in a mess, and they were put away by them.
A group of people returned to the lounge with a rumored monsoon that was at odds with them.
At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone gave a video report in their respective training rooms. Their video content will be sent to the Inspection Department, to their superiors, and to the World Time Management Alliance Center.
Thanks to the experience of the 89 B-level missions he had done before, Ji Yushi was accustomed to explaining everything he experienced in the execution of the mission in a clear and accurate way, but within an hour, he finished all the reports based on the facts. content.
When leaving the private training room, everyone's training room doors were still closed.
The empty training ground has a huge mirror, which reflects the training ground and a lonely monsoon.
At ten o'clock, I left the training ground during the monsoon, ready to go to the platform outside the corridor to blow air.
Song Qinglan's voice no longer sounded on the private channel.
Ten hours left.
He rested his elbows on the railing during the monsoon rain, the night wind ruffled his black hair, and his cold white complexion seemed to glow in the night.
"Consultant Ji." Someone called him from behind.
Turn around during the monsoons and lean back against the railing.
The light on the platform is not good, and few people usually come, so he narrowed his eyes to confirm who was coming.
A team of guardians passed by the corridor, there were about seven or eight, all wearing black combat uniforms, and it seemed that they had just returned from a certain mission. Lin Xinlan stopped, greeted his teammates, and walked from the corridor to the platform.
It's not a strange thing to meet Lin Xinlan at the Tianqiongjiang City branch, not to mention that the training grounds of the ninth team and the seventh team are on the same floor. See you down.
Ji Yushi just didn't expect him to meet each other so soon.
Lin Xinlan approached: "As soon as I finished the mission, I heard that you are back. I thought it was you from a distance, and it really was you."
Ji Yushi only nodded to him.
In his heart, Jiangcheng is really not suitable for him to stay, no matter how he wants to be alone anywhere.
The wind was blowing hard on the platform, and it might be raining.
Lin Xinlan's hair was also messed up, and it looked different from the "Cube" mission. A year later, he changed his hairstyle, and the feeling is different.

"It feels very strange." Lin Xinlan smiled with peach blossom eyes, "For you, you only saw me yesterday, but for me, it has been a year."
Ji Yushi said directly: "Team Lin, you lost your bet."
Lin Xinlan shouted to Song Qinglan during the "Magic Cube" mission, saying that whoever completed the mission first was compared with him, and that if he lost, he would tell Song Qinglan a secret. Of course he didn't think he would lose a year ago. Maybe a year later, he already knew the result, and he must have figured out why the seven teams, including Song Qinglan, had such an attitude towards him a year ago. .
It is very hard to keep the secret. You can't tell the seventh team what will happen in a year, and you can't use any means to change this "history that will happen". Except for the top management of Tianqiong, no one knows that Lin Xinlan once had a relationship with a certain team. The seven teams of this time and space have done a Rubik's Cube mission.
Lin Xinlan had blood stains on his body, which may have been left over from the mission.
He really laughed, because he didn't expect that the first sentence of Ji Yu would say this to him: "Thank you for reminding me, but I have fulfilled the bet, but the result is not very good."
"Fulfilling the bet?" Ji Yushi thought about it and immediately knew what he was referring to, "I thought you said you would never touch straight men."
"It's okay to give yourself a chance, at least I tried it." Lin Xinlan shrugged, "Also, Team Song... is not as straight as imagined."
Ji Yushi: "...How do you know."
Lin Xinlan thought he didn't believe it, so he leaned against the railing and said slowly, "I feel it."
Seeing Ji Yu was silent, Lin Xinlan said: "You know, those rooms have a recording function. After I separated from you, I walked through a few rooms alone, and then saw the traces left by Song team and you."
He fell into the memories that belonged to a year ago, and said slowly: "You are arguing, and your tone is a little excited. He is nervous and angry, but it is not because of your quarrel."
What Lin Xinlan said should be the final stage of "splicing".
Ji Yushi witnessed Zoe's death, Song Qinglan wanted to change lanes with him, but he didn't obey, but climbed down the ladder and shook Song Qinglan away. At that time, regardless of the monsoon season, I just wanted to get out of the "rubik's cube", and I just wanted to go back to that year as quickly as possible.
Lin Xinlan said, "I don't know if God is joking with me. I have seen traces of Song Qinglan several times later, and he has been looking for you."
Every time she met her teammates in those traces, Song Qinglan would explain to them: "When you encounter monsoon, try to stay with him as much as possible, splicing the same route, even if the speed is slower."
Zhou Mingxuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Qinglan said, "His condition is not good."
"Song Qinglan is distressed." Lin Xinlan seemed to sigh, and said, "I've known him for a long time. It's the first time I saw him putting tasks on the back burner, just because his teammates were not in good shape. I don't know how strict he can be to his teammates. I've never seen Song Qinglan look at others like that, but I know what it's like when one person has feelings for another."
Don't know when these monsoons.
Perhaps he actually knew that he had never been in a relationship, nor tried to break a straight man, so he thought it was just Song Qinglan's reaction as the captain.
Lin Xinlan did not ask Ji Yushi how he felt about Song Qinglan, nor did he ask whether the straight man Ji Yushi said was Song Qinglan.
"Since Song Qinglan has such a possibility, I have another year. It's not too much to try. How can love be unfair?" Lin Xinlan said, and took out a dice from his pocket. , "He gave it to me when I just entered the training camp for the students. When we were playing games, we had a falling out. I wanted to put it on his table and return it to him. I accidentally knocked over the water glass, and there was something ugly. The rumor, I wanted to explain, who knows that he is in the 'Cube', but he has actually forgotten what it is."
Look at that dice during the rainy season.
Finally figured out that Lin Xinlan refused to use it to find his way in the "Cube".
Lin Xinlan put back the dice: "However, I'm quite happy to see him also unrequited love."
During the rainy season: "?"
Lin Xinlan resumed his previous tone: "He offended you before you came. It can be seen that you don't like him very much, so you can't wait to stay away from him?"
During the rainy season: "… um."
"I knew it." Lin Xinlan glanced at him, and suddenly the peach blossom eyes blinked, as if they were discharging, "Seriously, consultant Ji, these stinky straight men won't bend for long, why don't you think about me, I can change for you."
During the rainy season, his arm immediately got goosebumps. He didn't receive the current and just asked blankly, "Aren't you throwing the dice?"
Lin Xinlan: "Why throw it away? Keep it for a thought."
Ji Yushi suggested: "It's annoying to see it, it's better to throw it away."
Lin Xinlan thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense, he took the dice out of his pocket again, and threw it from the platform to the woods in the distance.
The dice drew a line in the night and disappeared completely.
Lin Xinlan felt relaxed after throwing the dice, chatted with Ji Yushi, and went to change clothes to write a report and go home, and finally left.
During the monsoon, the wind blew for a while before returning to the training ground.
Everyone almost finished the video report and asked him where he went. Ji Yushi said he went outside for a walk.
The psychological evaluation will not be done until the next day. It is like jet lag at the moment. Everyone has enough rest but no sleepiness. Li Chun proposed to play games to pass the time.
Song Qinglan was wearing a gray t-shirt, the last one to come out of the private training room: "What game are you playing?"
Everyone made suggestions.
Song Qinglan, like them, sat cross-legged next to Ji Yu, and listened with interest on her chin.
Just listening to Ji Yushi said: "Is there any dice game?"
Song Qinglan turned her head, her black eyes shining under the bright lights of the training ground, and asked gently, "Do you want to play this?"
When the monsoon rains, he responds with a "hmm".
Tang Le immediately said: "Yes! There are many people! We are just playing Ludo, the kind we played in the training camp before, and there are props here!"
When it comes to playing games, Tang Le and Li Chun are more active than anyone else. They quickly took out the props from the locker and spread them in the center of the floor.
Song Qinglan rested on the ground with one hand, and played with the dice with the other, "Tell me about rewards and punishments, what's the difference between winning and losing."
When everyone heard the excitement, they thought of a lot of bad tricks.
Song Qinglan felt warmth coming from the back of her hand.
He looked down and saw that Ji Yu's fingers were on the back of his hands, slender and thin, and his nails were clean and beautiful.
When Ji Yu saw him looking over, he put away his fingers and said, "If I win, give me the dice."
There is a customary rule for playing this game in the trainee training camp. If someone wins first, they can ask for the sole right to throw the dice for everyone to decide their fate.
Everyone thought he was talking about this.
Song Qinglan said without hesitation, "Yes."
