Chapter 696

This is a story about a little boy that happened a long time ago.

At that time, the boy was nine years old. He had a father who worked as a technical director in a large company, a mother who wrote full-time at home, and a sister who was four years younger than him. They lived in a small country in the middle of the mainland. Their life was peaceful and without ups and downs.

The father is generous but busy, but the mother is strict at home. Her five-year-old sister is clever and sensible, but occasionally adds chaos to the family. The boy's life is not perfect, nor miserable, but ordinary, normal family, normal happiness.

But there is one thing that always bothers the boy, that is the expectation of his parents, teachers, even classmates and playmates.

——What do you want to do in the future? What are you interested in? My children are so smart that they are sure to go to a good college. My students' grades are not bad. I really should work hard in this direction.

This is the habit of the people of Siberia. They like order, predictable and controllable life. From social engineering to national construction to children's training and planning for the future, no matter what it is, they always like to make a lot of preparations in advance and make everything go according to their own ideas through various technologies and arrangements.

Xiboya people can make everything run according to their own ideas, even in the world - this is the words that the central government boasted in the news at that time. At that time, xiboya people had developed facilities that could control the weather and suppress earthquakes. They boasted that the whole nature had been controlled by people.

So it should be so for the people of zeberia.

You should do this, you should do that, you should be this kind of person, you should be that kind of person - under the arrangement of parents, young boys learn mathematics, practice musical instruments, he thinks about exercises, studies physics, he accompanies books in cram school, takes notes in school, he travels around every day, Comply with the requirements of parents, learn one kind of knowledge after another, and strive to become the people they expect.

As for his own ideas, the boy has not yet, and he doesn't care, because he doesn't mind living according to other people's plans. This is true of the vast majority of Xieya people. At home, they should obey their parents, at school, and their teachers. If they enter social work, they should obey their superiors and officers. Most Xieya people live according to the ideas of others, which is the normal state of society.

The boy didn't have any dissatisfaction with this. He seriously followed the advice of his elders and completed the things they expected. Life went on like this. If there was no accident, the boy would gradually become a senior technician like his father and a part of the high class in the society.

However, this kind of peaceful life did not last long.

On a quiet summer night, a huge meteor shower suddenly fell from the sky, covering the whole night sky and even the whole sky of xiboya world. Its appearance was completely unexpected by the central observatory, and there was no omen before that.

In the exclamation of passers-by, streams of light across the sky, these colorful, almost no one with exactly the same color meteorite seems to appear out of thin air, and then disappear out of thin air, it is clear that everyone saw these meteors fall from the sky, but no one found even a little meteorite debris.

That year, the boy was ten years old. It was his tenth birthday. When he was looking up at the night sky meteor with his parents on the balcony of his home, he saw a dark blue meteor falling from the sky and falling into his eyebrows.

And the next day, the world changed.

Because, in the past, the "super powers" only existed in legends and movies, appeared in this world without miracles.

The so-called super powers are those who possess abilities beyond the ordinary human beings. The superpower was first found to be a middle-aged man who was drunk, probably because of social intercourse. While drinking too much alcohol, he ignited a fire in his sleep. With his snoring, the flames spewed out from his mouth and nose, burning the whole bar and even half a block around him, and hundreds of people died. This immediately triggered a great social panic, It also enables the central government to be alert to the existence of superpowers.

The whole world shows great yearning and fear for this unknown power that can easily kill others. They want to get it by themselves, but they don't want others to get it. In order to decide whether this middle-aged man should be sentenced to death, the lawyers of both sides have launched a long tug of war in the xiboya court, which has aroused great social discussion.

But soon, no one paid attention to the man... Because after that, other kinds of superpowers began to appear in front of the stage.

Some of them have physical abilities beyond ordinary people, some can control water flow, some can become lightning, some can fly into the sky invisibly... Read power, frost, mind peeping, memory manipulation, gravitational repulsion, metamorphosis... The people who hold these abilities come from all corners of society, including senior officials of the central government, There are also vagrants nestling in the corner of the street. Since these super powers appeared, they quickly disrupted the social order.Some of them rely on their ability to do evil, and some rely on their ability to do good. For various reasons, the super powers fight with each other very quickly. They fight in the street and fight in the square. The government has nothing to do with them. The police and the army may have some deterrent power against the weak super powers, but for the strong ones, They have nothing to do with it. They are not afraid of normal weapons of war. No matter missiles or lasers are useless. Even long-range sniping will be discovered by some strange sixth sense. Even if the most powerful ones are attacked by fission bombs, they may not die.

The emergence of super powers and their contradictions have rapidly affected the stability of the whole society, even if the government has begun to recruit some ordinary super powers on a large scale, because there are still a steady stream of super powers awakening, and there are many criminals, mental patients and anti social maniacs, Their existence makes the whole central government in a mess. The xiboya people without super power are in a collective panic. They feel that their peaceful life can no longer be controlled, and their lives are in the hands of some super power people who don't know whether they are crazy or not.

But the boy has a lot of leisure. The cram schools on the street have almost closed down, and even many schools have lost their normal teaching function. Countless students can only stay at home and wait for the day when the class reopens, but this day is far away, because the relationship between the super and ordinary people is gradually intensifying.

As long as individuals have wisdom, character and different standpoints and ideas... As long as there are "differences" between individuals, there will be contradictions between individuals.

The huge gap in strength brought by super power will enlarge the contradiction hundreds of times.

Before there was no super power, there was a quarrel between two people. As long as it was not too fierce, no one would choose to fight, because they might be injured and punished.

But if one of them has super power, he just needs to move his finger, take a look at it from a distance across a few streets, or send his ability into the other person's body across the crowd, and choose the time to explode, he can easily kill this unpleasant guy in front of him, and no one can find evidence. Super power is too convenient and powerful. Before their ability, ordinary people are not much better than ants. It's still an ordinary energy system. If you are a super power person in the spiritual department, maybe with one look, your personality will collapse completely and become a puppet licking each other's shoes.

If there is a real conflict between the two sides, will those who have the ability not do so? Perhaps, there are always people who want to believe in the quality of others and place their lives on the morality and self-control of others.

In a word, today's world only maintains a fragile balance, the relationship between the super and ordinary people is tense, but the relationship between the super is also extremely contradictory, unable to unite.

The last straw to overcome this fragile balance is a few simple to incomparable news.

After fighting again and again, the most powerful superpowers found that their own abilities could be improved by killing other superpowers and drawing on each other's abilities. At the same time, they also found that the central government was secretly conducting research on the "anti superpower interference field" through clues they did not know who said, Trying to catch all the super powers.

Thus, the war between the super and the super, between the super and ordinary people, began abruptly and unnaturally.

That year, the boy was twelve years old. On the day when the war began, he was at home with his parents, celebrating his sister's eighth birthday on the second floor of the house. While cutting the cake and lighting the candle for his sister, the boy turned his head and looked out of the window. Then, he saw a red light flash by, and the hot rays from left to back cut all the walls on the first floor.

At the moment when he was too late to shout, the boy's home and the whole street around him were completely destroyed and began to collapse rapidly. However, at this extremely dangerous moment, the boy found that his body, which was curled up because of the sudden fear, had been unfolded again. He felt that there was an inexplicable force spreading in his body, Let their own speed faster many times, actually directly avoid all the dangers, so that everything around is like slow motion.

At this time, the boy's eyes are flashing brilliant blue light, this energy overflowing light, is the most obvious characteristics of "super powers"!

At this moment, time seems to be still for the boy. When he realizes that his home is being attacked by the superpowers, he immediately turns nervously and looks in the direction of his parents and sister. At this time, the boy's parents are pressed down on their legs by the falling ceiling of the building. They look frightened and seem to be shouting. Their eyes are full of confusion and fear, And his sister has been buried by broken rocks and bricks, leaving only a small hand naked

From the beginning, his heart was cold, and he became hopeful. Although he didn't know why and didn't understand what his ability represented, he was trembling. Now the boy knew that he might have the ability to help his relatives, At this time, he just wanted to save his relatives as much as possible. Thinking of this, the extremely nervous boy immediately ran to his nearest sister and ran to the layers of bricks and tiles.The boy wanted to clear away the debris and save his sister from the debris, but it was only after he had worked so hard that he managed to carry away a large piece of gravel that the boy understood.

He can't save anyone.

Even if he wakes up, he's just a 12-year-old boy. His instinct tells him that he's in such a state for less than five seconds now. In five seconds, he can't remove the gravel from his sister, and he can't drag his parents away from the ceiling... He can't recover anything.

The rock is pressed down at an extremely slow speed, and his sister's hand twitches at an extremely slow speed. The boy turns his head blankly and looks at his parents. Even if his time is accelerated, he can see the slow change of his parents' eyes. That is the result of the gradual transformation from panic to fear... Despair.

So, thinking of the fear of their parents and sisters when they were killed, I feel the joy of being able to save them, and now, little by little, waiting for the last moment to come, there is no point in prolonging the time, he can't retrieve anything, Can only let oneself be tormented by the pain that becomes more long - the boy immediately roars, he absolutely does not admit this kind of fact!

Five... Four... Three... Two... One... The boy frantically wanted to remove the gravel from his sister. He yelled with all his strength and threw rock blocks behind him. But the time was too short and there were too many debris. When the ability lasted for a long time, time began to flow again... The bright red blood spilled from the cracks of the rocks, The little hands stained with cake cream convulsed and then stopped twitching, and the parents' anguished groans echoed in the boy's ears.

Snap.

The boy sat down in the rubble. He was exhausted, and the strong feeling of exhaustion from nowhere spread all over his body. He was stunned to look at the stone pile overflowing with blood in front of him, his hands slashed by the rocks, his parents whose legs were crushed, and his mind was blank when he listened to each other's cries and wails, In the distant city, there was a violent explosion and a raging fire. The bright light made the surroundings like day. Under the orange light, the boy's sad and desperate eyes were shining with uncertain blue light.

Inside the pupil, the hands of the clock rotate. Even if it delays, it will never stop.

Just like fate.

And this is the beginning of the war and the boy story.

……

In the vast hall, 42 majestic metal pillars support the towering dome, making it gradually fade into the dark shadow. On the slightly depressed ground of the hall, rows of mysterious and complex runes extend towards the center. At this time, the spectacular array formed by countless regular patterns is shining with light blue light, and the energy is surging, Countless light particles scattered in the air disillusioned, so that the hall of the magnificent almost dream.

But now, a "person" slowly wakes up from the throne in the middle of the hall. Little by little, he opened his eyes. There was a slight fluctuation of light and shade in the pupil of the flashing dark blue light, and the pointer of the clock was rotating. But soon, these sad waves dissipated and turned into incomparable indifference.

"Master."

The young girl's voice sounded in his ear. It was a small soul puppet floating in the air. At this time, the puppet's calm and little undulating voice came: "the 319th world line replacement failed, your observation failed, and you fell into the dream of the possibility of the collapse of the long river of time."

"Yes."

On the throne, the man is silent. After a long time, he turned his head and said in the same cold and calm voice as the soul puppet, "I've had another dream that I can't even hope to capture."

The man was silent, the hall was suddenly silent, and the slight buzz caused by the flow of magic reverberated between the magic particles and the dark dome. We could see that their light was gradually weakening, as if they had lost something important to support. In the hall, the feeling like a dream was rapidly fading, as if they were returning to reality from an unknown field.

And just before the light was completely gone, he spoke again.

"Let's start the 320th time."

The man's voice is calm, and just because of his words, the time around seems to stop. Whether it is the dim magic light or the fading dream, everything is frozen and stagnated. The only exception is the tiny soul puppet floating on the side of the throne. At this time, the soul puppet is respectfully in the air, bowing his head and kneeling: "follow your instructions, Time Turner, destiny master, his majesty fatlovi. "

"Now prepare for the 320th world line replacement, start to link the river of existence, start to light the initial light, and start to start the observer system."In the huge and magnificent hall, countless stars are shining, the light blue light is flourishing, and the mysterious runes are surging layer upon layer, forming two mighty streams of light, one surging, the other surging.

On these two rivers, the dome shrouded by the dark shadow began to glow, along with millions of light clusters that seemed to be souls were ignited, hundreds of millions of stars bloomed in turn, as if the dome forged by the stars showed a magnificent posture - the twinkling of stars, it seemed to cover all things in the world, reflecting the whole world and the multiverse.

Under the cover of such a dome, the river of light, which used to be calm like stagnant water, finally began to vibrate slightly, as if a drop of water was dripping in the middle of the river, and the layers of concentric circles began to spread until it covered the whole river.

Until then, the voice of the soul puppet came in calm and without ups and downs.

"Start the 320th observation."
