Anna came back from her thoughts and waited for Tuba's guess.
As soon as Tuba opened his mouth, he suddenly spat out milk onto Anna's feet.
Feeling the stickiness between her toes, Anna's eyes twitched slightly. In the end, she suppressed her extreme dissatisfaction in her heart, half squatted down and patted Tuba's back with her hands.
When he saw Tuba burp, he grabbed him and put him on the chair beside him and said, "Speak."
"Have you ever taken care of a baby? You're very skilled at burping."
"I learned this specially before Shanshan was born, but I never used it once afterwards. Shanshan doesn't eat at all. Don't interrupt me, just speak quickly."
Tuba sat up straight, pondered his words for a few seconds, and then said, "Actually, based on your description, I have another hypothesis."
"Can you recall what year Charles arrived in Earthsea?"
Hearing this, Anna immediately began to search her memory, but gradually confusion appeared in her eyes.
She only remembered that Charles' family consisted of four people and that he had a younger sister, and also the location of the community where they lived.
And some unimportant records about time, her human brain had long forgotten them completely.
"I forgot about it a long time ago. Why are you asking this?"
Tuba put his hands together in front of his chest and tapped the fingers of his two hands together.
"Think about it, the gravity of the Earthsea is opposite to that of the surface. Maybe the time of the Earthsea is completely opposite to that of the surface?"
"From the moment Charles was thrown into Earthsea, time on both sides began to move in opposite directions. Every second you spend here, the world of Earthsea goes back one second."
"Of course, time is relative. You could say that for every second they spend, we go back one second. It's all the same anyway."
"How is this possible? How is this possible..." Anna's speech speed slowly slowed down, and the other party's words suddenly reminded her.
Various forgotten images from the depths of her memory resurfaced, and she eventually found the inconsistency in these images.
When he first came to the surface, there were the flip phones that passers-by used to take pictures, Wang Sheng’s button phone, and finally the first generation of smartphones that Charles brought to the Earthsea.
"The time doesn't match! At the time I was living, most people were using feature phones, and smartphones weren't even on sale yet!"
Her heart began to beat. If Tuba's hypothesis was true, then it meant that Gao Zhiming had not been sent to Earthsea at this time! He was still in school now!
As long as he finds Gao Zhiming now, it means he can go back to the Earth Sea with him! !
"Why are you so excited? Did the hypothesis I mentioned help you?"
Tuba's words made Anna calm down quickly. She looked at him with a hint of vigilance. Was she being influenced by him to achieve this goal
What is the purpose of this guy telling me this news
"Why are you looking at me? Haven't you ever seen a child?" Tuba looked at Anna with big eyes in confusion.
Anna first suppressed her doubts. She wanted to find out whether the possibility the other party mentioned was true or not by simply going to the community where Gao Zhiming lived.
This method is much better than his previous method, and it is more covert and will not attract the attention of the IMF.
Anna understood that her goal had not changed, which was to return to Earthsea. Going back to Earthsea with Gao Zhiming was also a way.
She looked down at Tuba, then quickly walked to the cockpit of the plane and said to the clown inside, "Find a way to leave Antarctica. Our next target is Asia!"
The clown snapped his fingers crisply with his white-gloved right hand, picked up a book beside him and began to study seriously.
"Haha, it would be great if Gao Zhiming really didn't go down now." Looking at the green aurora outside the glass, Anna's eyes gradually turned cold.
The graceful Shanshan stood quietly at the tram station on Hope Island, watching the cars passing by on the road.
Hope Island is becoming more and more prosperous at this time. Cars were originally a means of transportation for only a few people, but now everyone on the island can afford them, so the roads on the island are becoming more and more congested.
This is due to both the island's wealth and the industrial revolution initiated by the Governor of Hope Island.
Under the assembly lines in factories, the prices of all mechanical items are constantly falling in order to promote consumption.
People walking on the street were holding some mechanical gadgets in their hands, some were smaller fuel-powered telephones, and some were radios using experimental batteries.
The technological products of Hope Island are being updated too quickly. The once cumbersome mechanical creations are now disappearing from the stage of history.
Propellers, gears, pistons, and bearings are constantly being miniaturized thanks to the power of technology.
Various means of transportation, including rock trains, airships, cars, trams, and ships, completely surround Hope Island.
Shanshan looked at everything in front of her as if she was looking at a moving oil painting.
As she looked at Hope Island, the men on the island also noticed this angelic woman.
The pair of fluorescent green cross eyes under the long eyelashes are so clear and bright, like a spring that can trap people.
The rose-red silk skirt perfectly highlights her perfect figure, slender waist, long neck, and the most attractive curved curves, which make people feel dry in their mouths at just one glance.
The slender, white and almost transparent legs under the skirt are even more eye-catching.
Seeing such a perfect woman, many people secretly took out their cameras with cigarette holders stuck in them and started taking pictures. They all wanted to capture this perfection and appreciate it later.
But this is doomed to be useless. When he goes back to develop the photos, he will find that there is nothing on them.
As long as Shanshan doesn't want others to keep her portrait, no one can keep it.
Such an unusual phenomenon certainly attracted the attention of the three branches of Hope Island, but they were undecided about the woman who had appeared next to the Governor.
Ten minutes later, Dipper slowly walked up to her with his hands in his pockets and looked at the street in front of her with her.
He scratched the gills on his neck with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he wanted to find a topic to start but couldn't find one.
Finally, Dipper took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and then passed it to Twinkle, who was standing beside him. "Want a cigarette?"
Shanshan's long-lashed eyes blinked slightly and continued to look at the lane in front of her where vehicles were passing by.
Now that the topic has been opened, it's much easier to bring up other topics. "How's the captain doing? Is he okay?"
The twinkling eyes moved slightly, "Not bad."
"That's good. By the way, what are you doing here today? The first mate and the others know you're back and are waiting for news from me."
As Dipper was included in Charles' family tree together with Winky, he came to ask Winky who was the most suitable.
Originally Lily was more suitable for this job, but now Lily is gone.
