Chapter 31 Chapter 31
This time the mission.
[Task Mode: Kaos]
[Task Rules: None]
[Task Target: Time Repairer]
After being hijacked by the Sky of "self-awareness", they had completed a [Oritosnake] task that was rated as super S. The task was really exhausting. Therefore, before setting off this time, Song Qinglan chose an A-level task from the tasks waiting to be unlocked, which can be used to unlock more tips about when they can go back.
I thought this task was definitely very simple compared to [Oritosnake]. After all, level A and level S are not the same magnitude, so simple that the system did not even specify task rules for them.
Who knew that this damn system caught them off guard once again.
It was basically confirmed during the rainy season that they were sucked into this place was not accidental.
Whether it is a rainforest mirrored up and down, or a city mirrored left and right, the flow rate of time is far beyond common sense.
These strange phenomena correspond to their mission goal: the time repairer.
For him and Song Qinglan, they just left the capsule for only three minutes, but it was different for Li Chun.
According to Li Chun, he arrived at this place six days ago.
Like them, his capsule also fell into the garbage hill, and in a daze, he saw a bearded man with blood on his nostrils and tissues stuffed with paper towels.
The bearded man observed the uniform he was wearing and confirmed that he was still alive. He slowly took away the nutrient solution in the capsule compartment, then tied him up with an iron chain, and picked it up with the materials he had picked up.
"I almost thought I was going to be dismembered and cooked by him!" Li Chun said, "I couldn't move at that time, and even thought of the suicide note. Think about it, how unlucky it was. I was hijacked by a system on the way out of the mission, and I had finished one task after another, and I didn't fucking bonus! That's fine, after all, when I entered the sky, I vowed to be a fearless guardian. But if I really died in this place where birds didn't lay eggs, I would die with my eyes open. Last time the girl was waiting for me to ask her for a contact number!"
Song Qinglan glanced at him: "I'm going to be thrust for a long time, and the last sentence is the key point."
Li Chun stuck: "That's just an additional point. Actually, I'm not very afraid of death. I've died more or less many times during PU-31. I'm just afraid that I'll die here alone, and I won't even see you for the last time."
As soon as Li Chun came, there was a little fireworks in the capsule.
The deserted and weird atmosphere in the other world was diluted, and even the bearded man didn't even pick up the pan to compete with Song Qinglan.
When the bearded man saw them coming back, he said a few words to them, and pointed at Li Chun to say that he had saved him. Then he finished drinking the beer in his hand and fell down on the spot and fell asleep, which reminded people of a word: broad-minded heart and fat body.
Three minutes after Song Qinglan and Ji Yushi left - that is, six days in the space capsule, Li Chun and the bearded man had a profound exchange. The ground and the walls were covered with works of the two people's communication, and the originally interesting picture album was painted beyond recognition.
Ji Yushi listened to the conversation between Song Qinglan and Li Chun, and then followed those "communication works", some of which could be understood, some could not be understood.
"Where are the others?" Song Qinglan asked.
"I don't know." As soon as the captain came back, Li Chun didn't dare to continue to indulge himself and said honestly, "The communicator is not connected here, and I don't know where Brother Wen and the others are going. Maybe they are still on the way here."
Like Ji Yushi, Li Chun also fell here from the moment he entered the capsule cabin and was about to jump. It took him only a while to be separated from his teammates.
It seems that not only the rainforest, but also the mirror world of the city has a problem of time flow rate, and the whole world has a time difference from the outside world.
Ji Yushi asked to a piece of paper on the wall: "Is this a bearded man drawn?"
There was a space capsule on the piece of paper, and nine people were drawn beside the cabin, one of whom was particularly tall.
The space capsule is based on Song Qinglan's cartoon prints. The man is so ugly that he looks like he is a bearded man.
"Big Beard?" Li Chun accepted the simple title and nodded and said, "Yes, this is the self he drew. When they came, there should be nine people, and now he is the only one left. I think there are also space capsules in this uniform. They are not time travelers like us, right?"
Song Qinglan said: "It is possible. They were also sucked."
Li Chun remembered something and walked over and said, "Guest Guestbook, he wrote the words here but I can't understand them. Can you understand them?"
Li Chun found another piece of paper, and the beard on the paper was drawn in more detail, and he was wearing a uniform, and several symbols were drawn on the uniform.
These symbol-like things are words written by bearded men, and no one can understand them.
Li Chun asked the right person.
As soon as Ji Yushi saw these symbols, he immediately remembered the password keyboard in the small room. The uniform in this painting had the same symbol as the password keyboard.
Ji Yushi said: "If the symbol on the password keyboard is a number, then I will correspond to the two symbols according to the numeric keyboard position of 1-9, which should be 18."
Song Qinglan understood: "According to your corresponding analysis, if you use the exclusion method, the first two symbols will definitely not be numbers."
"It shouldn't be." Ji Yushi looked back at the painting with the capsule, "But since they appear on the uniform, even if they are not numbers, they must represent the meaning of regions, projects, etc. If we figure out what they mean, we can know where the bearded man came from."
Ji Yushi said this and paused: "There are only him left in the nine people?"
There are almost no traces of life in the capsule.
The control room was filled with debris, which was not a spectacular level that could be achieved in a short period of time, but must be accumulated over a long period of time. The messy hair and long beard of the beard also meant that he had been here for a long time.
So, how long has the bearded man lived here alone?
The traces of iron chains left after being dragged multiple times at the door of the small room also show that there is more than one person who is dragged back by the bearded man. So, where did those people go?
Why is there only a bearded man in this place?
Song Qinglan thought: "Will those people enter the rainforest like Team 12 of the Sky, and perhaps even enter that city, or something else?"
Li Chunqi said: "Twelfth Team of Sky? What other rainforest city?"
"I'll tell you about this later." Song Qinglan was not interrupted by him and continued, "Guests Ji, if those people really go in, the time flow rate in the two places is different. If you get lost in it, is it very likely that you will not be able to come back?"
Ji Yushi's mind has always been very clear.
Even for a high-difficulty task like the Ourobosnake, he can quickly find blind spots that everyone has not discovered.
The same is true at this time.
"It's very simple, we can calculate it." Ji Yushi said, "We didn't wear communicators when we were in the rain forest. According to my perception of time, it is temporarily calculated to be two days."
"Wait." Song Qinglan had objections, "Two days?"
Why does he feel that it is only about one day at most? He didn't feel it was difficult to bear except hunger and tired when he was in the rain forest.
"Some." Ji Yushi's eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, "For some reason, I rarely make mistakes in time, so we spent almost two days in the rain forest."
Song Qinglan understood, it was another super memory.
People with super memory do not like ordinary people who will behave in the last second, and the last minute will gradually fade away.
For them, every second they spend is still clearly engraved in their minds, including all the cognition and feelings in that second. As long as they recall it, it is as profound as it is in progress, so their perception of time rarely makes mistakes.
Ji Yushi didn't get too confused about Song Qinglan's doubts, but continued: "But when we came back, we found that after leaving here to go to the rainforest and then back here, the time actually only passed less than two hours, and it can be temporarily calculated as two hours for comparison. Here we can get a result. If the time flow rate is calculated by hour, the time in the rainforest is 24 times faster than that in the space capsule."
Song Qinglan and Li Chun listen quietly.
"But the city we entered after leaving the outer cabin door is the exact opposite." Ji Yushi said, "It can be said that the time there is unimaginable slowness. We compared it with three minutes and six days, and still calculated the flow rate by hour. In this way, the time flow rate in that city is 2,880 times slower than that in the space capsule."
Ji Yushi's mental arithmetic ability is as outstanding as his memory, and he doesn't even need draft paper or calculator: "For a simple example, if we didn't go to the rain forest first, but opened the outer cabin door and entered the city, we would definitely try to find a way out in it. Even if we only stayed in that city for one day, it would be equivalent to staying in the space capsule for about 8 years. Just imagine, what would happen if we stayed in the city for several days and then returned here?"
Upon hearing this news, Li Chun opened his mouth wide: "Fuck? If that's the case, I'll be old when you come back?"
"Absolutely," Ji Yushi said, "For us, time has only passed a few days, but for you, it has actually passed a few decades. If the time flow rate of the capsule is used as a constant, then the rainforest and the city are where variables appear."
"Then there is a problem." Song Qinglan thought, "Whether the bearded teammates or the Sky Twelve Team, will there be still people in that city now? After all, for them, time has just passed a little, and it is possible that they are all still alive."
Everyone was silent.
This possibility is very high.
The terrible difference in the flow rate of time makes people feel numb when they think about it.
No wonder the bearded man reacted so much to their decision to go out the hatch.
Team Song and Consultant Ji have returned safely, but Li Chun was still scared for a while. He asked hurriedly: "Then we are sure that the task is completed here? Time repairer, how should this time be repaired? Is this sure it is just a level A task?"
"If you don't get the bearded man drunk, maybe we can continue to communicate now and ask how many people have been here before we come." Song Qinglan crossed her arms with her arms crossed, "That's a big deal, why is he getting along with you so friendly?"
Song Qinglan was imprisoned for five or six days and hungry for five or six days.
This question has no solution.
Ji Yushi said: "How to fix it... I don't know yet."
He looked at the paintings and symbols all over the floor and the walls, and said, "I'll first understand what you've communicated in the past few days. When the bearded man wakes up, I may be able to learn his language."
Song Qinglan: "Can you learn his language?"
Ji Yushi said: "Well, there are seven languages that I am familiar with but not proficient in. The learning speed is not slow, so you can give it a try."
The other two suddenly fell silent.
Ji Yushi turned around and said strangely: "What's wrong?"
Li Chun asked sincerely: "Guester Ji, do you know the difference between an ordinary player and a cheating player?"
*
The three of them acted separately.
Song Qinglan went to the Garbage Mountain again, searched for some useful clues from the parts and machinery, and observed how far the distance between the empty and dimness gathered around the space capsule.
Because those paintings are too difficult to understand, Li Chun stayed to help Ji Yushi sort out some of the meanings he already knew.
When the bearded man wakes up, they will try to get the information that the bearded man already knows.
"Is this the one who painted us?" Ji Yushi turned to a piece of paper that was painted in a mess.
There were two people on the paper, one tall and the other thin. Both of them were holding cans in their hands and the word "7" was written on their chests.
Li Chun nodded hurriedly: "Yes! What he drew after he gestured with me was through this, and I realized that you are here."
Ji Yushi was funny. It seemed that the bearded man had a deep resentment about them eating their own canned food.
However, he quickly frowned, pointed his finger at the painting and asked, "What is this?"
In the painting, he and Song Qinglan drew a heart of love.
"Damn it!" Li Chun immediately rubbed the paper and threw it away, "He misunderstood this was a big bearded man, thinking you were a couple!"
Ji Yushi: "…"
From the perspective of the bearded man, something seemed wrong with him and Song Qinglan in the past two days.
Don’t say it, just recall it, it’s really a bit gay in gay.
"Fortunately, Team Song is not here! Consultant Ji, you don't know, Team Song has ptsd for this!" Li Chun's Ba Po and the chatterbox attributes were released again, "I can't wash it even if he saw me jump into the Yellow River."
Chapter completed!
