Tian Lan chewed these words gently, and after a long time, a look of melancholy appeared in her eyes. She asked, "Are there no exceptions?"
"There can be no exceptions." The old doctor seemed very sure.
"What if? Is there really no such thing as a chance?" Tian Lan continued to ask unwillingly.
"Girl, your suspicion is a distrust of the guardian of order, hum." The old doctor hummed twice, seemingly very unhappy.
"Well, I really don't trust you as a group because your methods are too old-fashioned and not new at all."
Tianlan said: "Concentrating all these inheritors into the Nether Space, what is the difference between this and concentrating those geniuses into the starry sky battlefield?"
"..." the old doctor said: "I can't answer your question. After all, I didn't design those things. The guardian of order has already had a pretty good new person take over, hehe."
Tian Lan frowned and said, "What do you mean by this, do I know the so-called newcomer?"
The old doctor did not answer directly, but said in a long tone: "There have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years."
"It's so annoying, let's go."
Tian Lan said and stood up directly.
"Do you have any other questions to ask me?" the old doctor said.
"No, at least I'm not in the mood to ask you today." Tian Lan said, "Let's talk about it another day."
"Then I have a question for you." The old doctor said.
Tian Lan looked at him suspiciously: "A serious question?"
"How can I, a serious person like me, ask inappropriate questions?" the old doctor said, "You always don't trust me so much."
"Then you can ask, but make sure you agree first that I have the right not to answer," Tian Lan said.
Si Chen on the side was still in a state of intense disbelief. She really couldn't imagine why her young lady had such a good relationship with the guardian of order!
"My question is..." The smile on the old doctor's face began to grow stronger: "If you have to give up one between the demon god's successor and the time inheritor, who would you choose?"
When Tian Lan heard this, his body was shaken violently!
Her fists were clenched tightly!
"Why do you ask that?" Her eyes were already a little red.
"After all, I thought before that the girl silently helped the descendants of the Demon God a lot in the starry sky battlefield. However, the more people expect something, the easier it will be broken in the end." The old doctor said: "That's how I am.
It’s just a casual question, you can choose not to answer.”
"I know you, you never ask casually."
Tianlan took a deep breath, but the raging emotions in her chest still couldn't calm down!
She continued: "By asking this question, are you telling me the outcome of my fate in advance?"
"I said, you can refuse to answer, just follow your heart." The old doctor smiled and raised his hand to indicate: "Besides, how can I know the outcome of fate? I am not Prussia."
"Can't both of them stay?" Tian Lan's voice trembled, with a hint of faint crying: "They are so well matched, one must die and the other must live? Humans and ghosts must be separated by different paths, Yin and Yang.
?”
"You can't choose both. This is also my rule."
The old doctor also sighed softly and said: "There are not so many things in this world that have the best of both worlds."
Seeing that Tian Lan remained silent, the old doctor said, "Otherwise, just refuse to answer."
In fact, refusing is equivalent to telling him the answer.
Tianlan thought carefully for a long time before saying, "I will not refuse to answer this question."
The old doctor felt that he had stumped this quirky little girl on the issue of human nature, and his mood suddenly improved, and his smile became brighter: "Then tell me your choice."
"I choose him." Tian Lan said.
The old doctor said: "Very good. This at least proves that you are not a loving person."
Si Chen was watching all this from the side, feeling inexplicably that his heart was a little clogged.
She used to think that the eldest lady, as a descendant of the Netherworld, should be more ruthless, more indifferent to human nature, and not so amiable. But now, when the young lady really starts to choose between two lives, Si Chen
But it was more uncomfortable than ever.
Tianlan's eyes were already very red, and crystal tears were spinning in her eyes.
Staring at the old doctor, Tian Lan's expression was extremely serious and she said word by word: "Although I am not overly loving, please don't force me to become a cruel person."
…………
At this time, Lin Ran and Bian Yongxian had already walked out of the gold digger town and were walking in the mountains.
"How big is this space?" Lin Ran asked.
He always felt that this place was a world of its own, and he didn't know if it was a space fragment separated from the main world.
The farther you go from Blue Star, the more you can see the various mysteries of this world.
"I don't know what to say to His Royal Highness," the man in black said.
He is a close subordinate of the leader of the Black Moon Tribe, his name is Ruel, and others call him Captain.
"How many years have you lived here?" Lin Ran asked again.
"Thirty-five years." Ruel replied: "Sir, I have been here since the day I was born. My father and mother are both members of the Black Moon Tribe."
"You tribes that are ranked high in strength, haven't you ever thought about swallowing up that gold digger town?" Lin Ran asked.
"Your Highness, the role of the Gold Digger Town is not only to allow those disadvantaged tribes to form a settlement, but more importantly, to become a functional hub." Ruhr continued: "Not only do we need the Gold Digger Town,
Because of its existence, all the forces in this entire space need it as a buffer."
After a pause, Ruhr took another deep breath and added: "Of course, for us, this so-called space is the original appearance of the world."
Lin Ran listened and nodded: "That's true."
Bian Yongxian suddenly refused to open any pot: "Then you are really pitiful. If you have the chance, go to the distant planets and see them. That's the world."
Lin Ran glared at him angrily.
The latter smiled and seemed completely unconcerned.
The light of hope has already risen in Ruhr's eyes: "Yes, we all want to go out and see. Sometimes, it is really fascinating to listen to outsiders describe the outside world."
The look of anticipation in his eyes was definitely not fake.
Lin Ran nodded seriously: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will take you all out."
Speaking of this, his heart moved slightly.
Just like people on distant planets want to return to their homeland of Blue Star, people in this netherworld also want to see what distant planets look like.
Life is a cycle of reincarnations, and so is the world.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ruer said with a smile.
I wonder if it was because of Lin Ran's promise that the mood of the other Black Moon tribe members in the team improved accordingly.
After walking for a full hour, they arrived at the territory of the Black Moon Tribe.
This is a hilly area with rows of houses on it.
Most of these houses are built with local materials, trees and stones. Although they are not as good as the outside world, they still look very regular.
Lin Ran even saw several two-story buildings that looked like Blue Star's villa twenty years ago.
Well, it’s still the style of Black Sea Island.
Looking at this scene, Lin Ran's heart moved slightly again.
"Sir, our leader is waiting for you in the main hall." Ruel said, pointing to the largest one-story building in the center of the territory.
Of course, it's not very big, at most it's the size of a basketball court.
Ruhr led Lin Ran all the way in, and then they saw a man in black clothes sitting in the center of the main hall.
When Lin Ran saw him, he suddenly felt like complaining - because this guy was actually covering his face!
Yes, that black cloth not only covered the mouth and nose, but even the eyes!
Can you still see it?
Lin Ran saw this and said angrily: "Is the majestic leader of the Black Moon Tribe so shady? Or do all of you here like to dress like this with your head and tail exposed?"
"This is just my personal style." The leader stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please forgive me."
"Why do I feel that your voice is a little bit familiar?" Lin Ran stared at the black cloth on the other person's face and took a few more glances, but still couldn't find the answer: "Have we really never met before??"
"Your Highness, I am in this space, how can I get out?" the leader said with a smile.
Lin Ran's current character was made a little paranoid by this bloody reality. He said: "Then how do you know that I am Prince Shengguang? How do you know that the person I am looking for is Han Xiqiao?"
"Your Highness, look."
The leader pulled out a piece of paper from the side with a pencil sketch on it.
The person in this painting looks very similar to Lin Ran!!
"Who painted this?" Lin Ran couldn't help but frown.
The leader said: "Of course it's Miss Han. She lived here for a while and left a portrait, saying that as long as she meets Prince Shengguang in the painting, she must bring him back."
Lin Ran grasped the key point keenly, and he grabbed the leader's shoulder:
"What are you talking about?? She's been living here for a while?"
In Lin Ran's impression, Han Xiqiao's disappearance did not last more than twenty days!
However, at this time, Bian Yongxian reminded him from the side: "Lin Ran, don't forget, the flow of time here is different."
"That's it." Lin Ran said: "Fortunately we didn't delay for too long, otherwise, Han Xiqiao would still be a gray-haired little old lady now."
The leader continued: "The speed of time here is said to be different from that of the outside world, but recently, it seems that time has experienced some fluctuations. It is very unstable, sometimes faster and sometimes slower."
"Time is unstable? Sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow?" Lin Ran was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
He really didn't think there was any problem... How could the people living in it feel that time is fast or slow?
"His Royal Highness the Prince has only been in for a short time and has not noticed that although there is no sun and moon in this space, there is an alternation between night and day." The leader said: "In the past, the time between night and day was strict.
There has never been any change in being equal, but recently, night and day no longer divide time equally, but have become very unstable."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and asked, "What kind of unstable method?"
"The day may be slightly longer than the night today, but the length of the day may decrease sharply the next day... We have counted the time for many days, but we can't find any pattern." The leader said: "It seems that this space
Time is trapped in an unstable cycle."
Lin Ran said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, some unprecedented big changes are going to happen in this space."
"That's true." The leader suddenly laughed: "The prince suddenly got to the point."
However, Lin Ran did not answer his words, but changed the topic and said: "I am now very sure that I have heard your voice before. Either you remove the black cloth from your face, or you die."
here."
His tone has turned cold.
However, the man laughed: "Dear prison chief, I knew you would say that."
A dangerous light flashed across Lin Ran's eyes: "What did you call me just now?"
"Warden." The leader laughed. He gently lifted the black cloth from his face and said, "Or, should I call you...King of Hamura?"
