Chapter 1420: I Will Leave When You Need Me

I Will Leave When You Need Me

Cheng Shi arrived at the edge of the world.

【Time】 often deduces the world here and constantly aligns the "experimental time" with the real universe.

On the way here, Cheng Shi kept recalling what 【Time】 had said to him, to the point of being somewhat absent-minded. When he looked up, he found that there was indeed a figure under this void, but that figure was definitely not 【Time】, but...

"Doctor!?"

Cheng Shi was shocked: "Why are you here?"

That's right, that figure was Wang Weijin!

At this time, he had his back to Cheng Shi, his figure slightly tense. Upon hearing Cheng Shi's voice, he turned around slowly, a trace of shock still remaining on his face, and his whole person looked extremely stiff.

He seemed to be holding something in his hand, and in the process of turning around, he subconsciously hid it behind his back. Seeing this, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat:

"What happened? You came to see 【Time】? Where is He?"

The doctor took a deep breath and shook his head.

"He..."

The doctor clearly hadn't started saying anything, but Cheng Shi's brain went "boom" and went blank.

His five senses suddenly went out of order, losing the image in front of him, and his hearing began to become chaotic, unable to hear the doctor's voice anymore. At this moment, only one sentence remained in his brain:

"I will leave when you need me."

Cheng Shi's figure trembled. Although he knew this moment would eventually come, although he knew the "sacrifice" of the Fear Sect was all for this world, when things really happened, he still felt he had suffered "betrayal."

They would eventually leave him.

They wouldn't even notify him.

"He, left?" Cheng Shi endured the sadness, his voice heavy.

The doctor nodded and extended the hand he had hidden behind his back with a solemn expression. In his hand was something Cheng Shi would never have dreamed of.

"This is...?"

"A pointer." The doctor picked up the extremely ordinary pointer with a complex expression and said to Cheng Shi, "It looks more like an hour hand.

I don't know what this implies, but I know this definitely wouldn't be something He left for me. This should be for you.

Praise Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

"..."

An hour hand?

【Time】 actually left him an hour hand when He left?

At this time, when he became the 【Covenant】 proxy and almost exclusively dominated the universe, did He finally acknowledge the identity he had once simulated, Lord Hour Hand?

For a moment, Cheng Shi was also a bit dazed, a trace of absurdity washing away his sadness. He was silent for a moment and asked again:

"Where did He go?"

"Don't know. Praise Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

"... What exactly happened, and how did you end up here, Doctor?"

Cheng Shi was extremely curious. Reasonably speaking, the doctor had no relationship with 【Time】 at all. Their only connection was probably that the doctor would repeatedly use the power of 【Time】 in experiments, but was this thing worth 【Time】 specifically summoning the other party once when leaving?

Even leaving this only opportunity for parting to the doctor instead of leaving it to himself, who was concerned with the future of the universe?

No, that's not right. 【Time】 had silently guarded the world for so many years; He would never do useless things at the most critical moment. So the doctor's appearance must have some profound meaning, or even be a clue concerning that answer.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's eyes became more and more serious.

"Tell me everything you just experienced, word for word, Doctor. This is very important."

As the top of the 【Truth】 list with extreme wisdom, even if not as over-the-top as Wei Mu, Wang Weijin could be considered the peak representative of intelligence-type players in this 【Faith Game】. He naturally knew that everything he experienced was unusual, so he told everything he had just witnessed with extreme seriousness, including what happened before he came.

"Not long ago, I was replicating Serius's divinity germination experiment in the laboratory. You once said that faith is the only clue to deciphering the current status of divine power, so I wanted to personally experience the new power germination that Serius had once succeeded in.

Just then, 【Time】 summoned me, without warning, without reason.

Those eyes, as deep as black holes, opened above my head. He stared at me and said to me:

Look at me, don't blink.

I was shocked and didn't understand, but I still did as told, because I knew 【Time】 was not an enemy of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. Praise Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

So we started a long stare. For me, who is often immersed in observing the progress of experiments, not blinking is not a harsh requirement, and I have never had the opportunity to observe a god like this, so as I watched, I became immersed and instinctively began to analyze the 'divine information' contained in those eyes.

I always thought that the eyes of gods were just the manifestation of will, a virtual expression, but I was wrong. I discovered that 【Time】's eyes were actually physical entities; they were a pair of black holes!

Black holes cannot be observed, but the distorted and jumping time arcs around those eyes depicted the magic of black holes for me. That is not a super-dense star in the traditional sense, but more like a collection of broken time constantly folded and compressed.

If I were to describe it in 【Death】's way, I would prefer to call it a time graveyard.

There has always been a voice in academia believing that the end of a black hole is an infinitely compressed singularity, but from my observation of 【Time】's eyes, I discovered that there were time rifts in that pair of black holes that appeared and disappeared but could not be ignored.

That's right, the black hole seemed to be broken. No, a more consistent way to say it in game cognition is that the accumulation of infinite time 'corpses' overloaded the time graveyard, causing the time that should have been buried in it to appear with rift-like distortions. This explosive power even caused the 'dead' time to appear with a trace of unreasonable possibility of resurrection, thus being captured by the observer the moment it attempted to escape, becoming a time rift.

This 'truth' that I had never come into contact with made me immersed and unable to extricate myself. I began to devote myself wholeheartedly, wanting to explore more of the true meaning of 【Time】.

Praise Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.

However, it was also at this time that I forgot His instructions and blinked my eyes.

The next second...

He disappeared.

Only the violent fluctuations of time and space remained in the void, right there..."

The doctor pointed behind him, his eyes flickering as he turned his head, "Just like when you disappeared from the laughter and mockery that time.

I guess He probably escaped the space-time barrier and went to the real universe, but I still have no clue about everything 【Time】 did, including this hour hand in my hand.

From the perspective of 【Truth】, the greatest possibility is that He attempted to tell us some truth with the time escape in His eyes, but the time was too short, and I haven't had time to figure it out.

Do you have any clues?

Praise Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

"..."

I originally had some, but after listening to your gibberish, they're gone.

Cheng Shi's serious expression changed. He felt that a matter had been made complicated by the doctor, but he had to refer to the doctor's judgment. After all, after Wei Mu left, the doctor had become the peak of the intelligence echelon among players.

He frowned slightly and asked: "You said you were replicating Serius's experiment before you came. Did you gain anything?"

The doctor shook his head:

"No, the faith of self-approval is too weak and requires a lot of emotional stimulation, and now the piety in my heart..."

As he spoke, the doctor looked at Cheng Shi with a subtle expression, "Makes it difficult for me to maintain the emotional peak for a long time.

In deeper experiments, piety allows me to calm my heart, but in this kind of experiment, piety instead becomes some resistance.

However, it is not without discovery. At least I found some mutations leaning toward 0221's will in the slices again. Coincidentally, this mutation is also experiment subject 0221.

It seems they have never given up on the expression of their own will.

But that's all in the past. I have a way to handle everything. Praise Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

"..."

Cheng Shi closed his eyes.

Stop praising, my head hurts.
