Strangeness in Memory: 220

"I first discovered a problem in the memory before your father bumped into Li Wufang. The stutter of that red light appeared a bit abrupt.

I became interested, traced back to the past, and used 【Memory】's means to watch all the past of that intersection, only to find that the red light was not broken.

It had been working normally, but the red light time was lengthened, lengthened to an unimaginable length:

220 seconds.

Although when setting the duration of traffic lights, it will indeed refer to the intersection traffic, letting the passage time tilt toward the large traffic lane, the problem is that no matter how long the red light is, it should not be designed to be so long. A stagnation of almost 4 minutes will only hinder traffic efficiency.

Moreover, the traffic at that intersection is not much, not worth such a design.

When I discovered this abnormality, I began to examine this memory more carefully.

I am not particularly sensitive to numbers, but fortunately, this is not only a number but also a period of time. Thanks to belonging to 【Existence】, after inheriting the 【Memory】 authority, I have some perception of 【Time】.

So I discovered that a large amount of the same time appeared in this memory concerning your father!

From the time he stopped the tour bus in front of Jia Family Village to the time he took the money and ran away, the time he communicated with the tourists, not a second more, not a second less, was exactly 220 seconds;

When the man in sunglasses was looking at him in the casino in the village chief's backyard, the time he participated in that gambling game was also 220 seconds!"

"!!??"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's shock was already written on his face, and even a bit creepy.

Li Jingming's eyes flashed, and he continued:

"Also, the time Old Jia stood at the casino door looking at Aunt Sun, the time he chatted with Nangong's grandfather in front of the casino door, the time from discovering Tao Yi to opening his mouth to talk to Tao Yi, the time he squatted in the urban village waiting for the young you to 'run away from home', and even the time he communicated with An Mingyu's uncle before you went home one day...

All were 220 seconds!"

Wait, wait, wait, what the hell is An Mingyu's uncle? When did I see An Shenxuan's uncle?

Cheng Shi's brain couldn't turn around.

Long Wang didn't leave time for Cheng Shi to think, "Finding one is an accident, finding two is a coincidence. When the third, fourth, and fifth began to appear, I realized that this time is absolutely not simple.

This looks like 【Fraud】's prank, but even if it is 【Fraud】, it is impossible to deceive 【Memory】 and make such fine smearing in His hall.

Actually, every smearing He made to the collection items in the collection hall was selected by 【Memory】 as a new collection item, which also includes the past of 【Chaos】 messenger Ultraman."

"..."

If it were usual, Cheng Shi would have to argue with Long Wang about this topic to cover up his embarrassment, but today his brain was overloaded and he didn't care about these irrelevant things at all.

He had been thinking about what this 220 seconds meant.

Long Wang is a smart person. Regardless of how many hidden secrets and truths of the predetermined perspective he lacked, just based on the limited information he understood, he had some ideas:

"Excluding 【Memory】 and 【Fraud】, the gods who can move 【Memory】 collection items are actually very few."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Shi thoughtfully and immediately changed the subject, "And not to mention this, Zhen Xin learned the future mentioned by Wei Mu from Qin Xin. When I turned my attention to this aspect, I was thinking, will this time be related to the future of the world?

Have 【Fraud】 or other gods mentioned anything similar to you?"

Cheng Shi recalled for a long time and shook his head:

"The only thing related to time is probably the span of the era. From the moment 【Void】 descended and 【Fate】 fell, the length of the era was locked.

Could this 220 be related to the length of the era?"

"?"

Li Jingming was stunned for a moment, "The 【Fate】 fell? When did that happen?"

"..." Cheng Shi sighed, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, "It doesn't matter anymore, all kinds of past things have passed.

If 【Time】 were still there, perhaps there would be someone to consult, but He also..."

Wait!"

Cheng Shi was stunned, suddenly thinking of something, "【Time】 was busy and never had time. I always thought He was aligning the universe time so that the universe would not suffer accidents in the Creator's experiment.

But before 【Existence】 descended, how did the universe align time?"

Li Jingming was also stunned, but immediately said:

"I have seen memories of some past eras. At that time, they might not have known that the universe was just an experiment."

Cheng Shi nodded and shook his head:

"You are right. 【Time】 constantly aligning time might be because there are too many gods who can make trouble in this era, and 【Fraud】 is not honest. They are all exploring outward.

But the problem is, even if 【Fraud】 is 'lively' again, He cannot enter and exit the real universe all the time. So why does 【Time】 have no time all the time?"

"..." This question stumped Li Jingming. There is no memory of 【Time】 in the collection hall, and he doesn't know what 【Time】 has been busy with.

And at this time, Cheng Shi's eyes condensed and said: "He summoned the doctor before leaving."

"Doctor!?" Li Jingming frowned, also a bit unable to understand. The doctor clearly had nothing to do with 【Time】.

"That's right!

The doctor represents 【Truth】 and is the candidate we are about to push to the 【Truth】 throne.

You say 【Time】 summoned the doctor, is He expressing a meaning to us, that is, what He did is related to 【Truth】?

But this scope is a bit too broad. 【Truth】 has done so many things, what exactly will it be related to?"

"Experiment?" Li Jingming reminded, "【Truth】's most famous thing is experiments, isn't it? What experiment is both related to 【Time】 and most representative?"

Long Wang's words woke Cheng Shi up. His pupils shrank:

"Faith co-frequency experiment!

【Truth】 once used this hand to reconstruct the world and find slices similar to Him in the real universe!"

"???"

Li Jingming was even more confused:

"When did this happen?

Why is there no memory in the 【Memory】 collection hall?

No, it seems there is. There is a collection item in the collection hall that was heavily smeared by 【Time】. Could it be that time?"

Cheng Shi nodded heavily:

"That's right, it was that time. The reason 【Memory】 lost its memory is because 【Fraud】 used 【Origin】 power to reset the world, so except for the Fear Sect members He appointed to retain memories, other gods didn't know about this.

【Truth】 did that experiment to seek truth. If 【Time】's metaphor is indeed like this, can we think that 【Time】 has no time because He has been conducting a secret experiment unknown to the universe?

And the purpose of this experiment is also to seek truth?"

Hearing this, Li Jingming raised his eyebrows: "The truth that 【Time】 seeks seems to be only... the road leading to the future?"

Cheng Shi nodded continuously:

"That's right, a very reasonable deduction.

After Wei Mu said that future, I have been thinking, even if I can replace 【Origin】's gaze, how can they deceive 【Origin】?

These are two completely different directions, and they are probably their division of labor.

【Fraud】 has to do is to complete my role-playing of 【Origin】, so He eliminated the gods other than the Fear Sect, gathered voting power, cooperated with 【Justice (Order)】, and made me inherit the 【Covenant】 proxy.

And 【Time】 should have been busy with His 'experiment' all along, to find a way to deceive 【Origin】.

He must have found it; otherwise, He would not have left.

Then what will be the method He found?

Did He tamper with the time in the 【Memory】 collection hall? From the time 【Memory】 left to the time you inherited the throne, even if it was the collection hall you controlled, it was not yet a god. If He moved the collection items in the collection hall during this time, is it possible?

It seems possible, but with such means, wouldn't it be considered will pollution?

And will 220 seconds be the clue He left behind?"

Looking at Cheng Shi lost in thought again, Li Jingming pondered for a moment and gave some suggestions:

"After I inherited 【Memory】, I had many insights into the god dimension, so maybe 【Time】's throne has a successor, and we can find more accurate hints and clues from 【Time】's insights?

Cheng Shi, have you thought about who to let ascend to 【Time】's throne?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. A name, no, a figure, suddenly appeared in his brain:

Under the gaze of the gods, a singer stepped forward.

"Meet again, old friends..."

Cheng Shi's eyelids jumped wildly, and he hurriedly pinched off this memory.

This god-man...

I don't know if Old Meng knows that his "old friends" are now all gone. ===== CHAPTER 1429 =====

I wonder if Old Meng even knows that not a single one of his "old friends" is left now.
