Chapter 886

~3 min read 558 words

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered one thing."

Christina raised her tear-stained face, and Alice also stopped her steps of seeing the guest out.

"There are a few tapes among the things passed down by our ancestors."

"It is said that they are videotapes he made while he was still alive, but I have never watched them."

"If you need them, I have a machine here that can play them; you can take them and use them."

Finished, Kerwin added another sentence:

"However, these things are too old, and I'm not sure if they can still play normally. Even if they can, I'm afraid they will only be one-time use."

……

"This is truly... life is impermanent, intestines wrap around small intestines."

"Speaking of which, there are many ways for 'The Wanderer' to prove itself... why did 'The Wanderer' choose to shatter Christina's fantasy? Isn't that a bit too cruel?"

"Who knows, but since they can see everyone's past and future and made such a choice, it means this is an essential link, not a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"'Omniscience'... terrifying..."

"All futures in its observation have become purely rational choices and calculations, nothing else. How did the Foundation create such a machine? Could it be that the Foundation knew the ending of the world long ago and accepted it calmly?"

"I say, does the Foundation still have this kind of machine now..."

……

After a while, Kerwin returned, holding a rectangular machine and a small box of tapes.

He silently prepared the projection and then inserted the videotape into the machine.

As the sound of mechanical rotation sounded, black and white images were projected onto the wall.

After a brief black screen, a sunny and handsome big boy appeared in the picture.

He had short hair, a well-defined face, a sturdy build, and clear muscle lines, showing youthful vitality.

Christina's clenched fist tightened; although the big boy in the picture was no longer young, his eyebrows and eyes were the same as in childhood.

This was exactly the Tommy she had been longing for.

In the picture, Tommy had a smile on his face and waved at the camera:

【Hi, sister, I don't know if you can see this video, or... in what time and occasion you will see it. Hmm...】

【Let's start from the beginning. I didn't die in that deadly blizzard; I remember being swept up by the wind and then hitting something.】

【And when I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed in the infirmary—a rescue team returning to the city saved me.】

【Although the city of Walkwood was also a bit overwhelmed... at least it was much better than the situation in New New York.】

【This is truly a miracle... I originally thought I was dead for sure.】

【I was sent to the local orphanage, finished school just like that, and found a job in a factory. In short, I can be independent now.】

【I changed to a more formal name, Thomas, but to you, I will always be Tommy, right.】

【Oh, by the way, I found a girlfriend. I don't know what you, as a sister, would think if you were still by my side.】

【I didn't think I was this handsome when I was a kid.】

【I recorded this, maybe you will see it someday in the future.】 ===== CHAPTER 888 =====
