Rubbing his sore wrist, Cheng Lin let his body sink into the sofa, unlocked the screen with his right hand, entered the hidden desktop, and then saw the familiar dark blue icon again.
Deduction program.
Cheng Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then he clicked on it. A line similar to water waves seemed to appear on the screen. The sleeping program was awakened, the transition animation, and the line of small characters on the dynamic starry sky background looked so upright, but suddenly
It feels like carving with a knife or an axe.
"At every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization."
After muttering this line of text, Cheng Lin rubbed the screen and interface with an indifferent expression.
"According to the time, it's time for the next round of deductions, but I don't know what it will be this time."
Thinking of this, he still clicked through the entire program interface as usual. The records of previous deductions in the history database were clearly visible, connected by a dim line, and each deduction seemed to be a node.
Now he has traveled a lot, but there is still no end in sight.
"I actually feel a strange sense of accomplishment." Cheng Lin shook his head and laughed.
He didn't have the habit of writing a diary, but at this moment, Cheng Lin suddenly felt that these records were his diary. Looking at them, the memory was vivid in his mind.
In the past, he once thought about a question: why the older people grow up, the more they feel that the passage of time is accelerating.
For example, when you are a teenager, you will feel that the days are so long, and the sun slowly slides as fast as a green train. But as you grow older, you will find that time flies by, and often half of your life has passed in the blink of an eye.
, so you will be very panic, very panic.
After reading some analysis, many people attributed this feeling to the richness of memory, and then put forward a widely circulated opinion, that is, if we cannot extend the length of life, we must broaden its width.
"I'm definitely wide enough, right?"
Cheng Lin couldn't help but think that the past two months seemed like a long time in retrospect. From ordinary people who could see everything at a glance to the world of practitioners, life had become very different, and the root cause of all this was because of himself.
The program, or, more specifically, the red button at your fingertips.
If there is a machine that can "broaden life", there is no doubt that it is in your own hands.
Shaking his head and putting aside the slight emotion in his heart, Cheng Lin was somewhat looking forward to this evolution.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, he reached out and pressed the button!
…
…
An extremely familiar tremor, the earth shook, but there was no sound. The whole person's sense of direction was completely obscured, as if he was stumbling in a tunnel.
The dazzling white light that filled his field of vision drowned him, but it could not drown his thoughts.
Cheng Lin clearly noticed an additional piece of information in his mind:
[Start to deduce the direction of civilization in this world...]
[Deduction in progress...]
[Get Chapter: Nova (World Tree)]
[The chapter will open in 10 seconds... 10, 9, 8...]
…
The light disappeared little by little, like the tide receding.
Cheng Lin squinted his eyes and adapted to the change in light. His expression became calm and leisurely. Every time he entered the deduction, he would feel very relaxed. In this place, he would not be threatened by any threat, whether it was the destruction of the world or the destruction of the world.
The tyrannical and boundless life is all an illusion and a game.
As a passer-by, Cheng Lin has always defined his identity as a party member.
It's like accidentally entering a game, then stopping and walking to watch the sun rise and set, the tides rise and fall, dynasties change, and eras change.
These have nothing to do with him, but they are also related to him. Most of the time, he exists as a pair of side eyes. Only at a certain key node will he reach out, or in other words, with the help of the power of the program, he will play a role in promoting history.
role.
[The light in the room dissipates, the buzzing in your ears disappears, you sit quietly on the sofa, your thoughts are flying, your mental state is good, as an experienced traveler, you are very calm]
[You looked around with curious, exploratory eyes, and found that there was no change in the room. Out of caution, you did not plan to go out, but decided to go to the window to take a look first.]
…
The message plays in the mind.
Cheng Lin folded his right leg on top of his left leg, tapping his fingers lightly on the sofa seat without moving.
He touched his chin with his other hand, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.
"The name of this chapter is... Nova (World Tree). According to past naming experience, the former should be a change in the general environment, while the latter is more or less related to the plot I am about to experience."
"New star... what does it refer to? Star? Obviously impossible, that is... new star? Well, this is an open term. After any change, the new appearance can be called a new star. As for the world
Tree……"
Cheng Lin stopped thinking, stood up, straightened his clothes, and came to the window.
…
It's quiet outside the window.
The night wind is very gentle.
What satisfied Cheng Lin most about the single-family building was this window. Recently, he had become accustomed to lying here and looking out when nothing happened.
Never tire of it.
However, this time he looked much more carefully. There was still a familiar campus outside the window. There was nothing unusual. At least, there was nothing observed for the time being.
"It seems that the world has not changed yet, and I have not been transported to a foreign country. This shows that this deduction is most likely not a slow evolution from the current background, but more likely a type of sudden and unexpected blow."
Cheng Lin thought in his mind and leaned against the window.
[You checked carefully and didn't find that the night was so calm, the moonlight was gentle, the stars were bright, it was a good weather, but you felt a little uneasy for no reason, always feeling like something was going to happen]
[You pondered for a long time, trying to find the origin of this uneasiness. Finally, if you felt something, you raised your head and looked into the night sky]
Information comes to mind.
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows and followed its description, lying in front of the window and raising his head...
As the information said, the weather is really good tonight. The moon is hanging sideways and the stars are shining. Against the background of the indigo sky, there are wisps of clouds floating, showing a deeper color, as if they were graffiti caused by accidental pushing of paint.
.
The sky is a canvas.
At this moment, something strange suddenly appeared among the stars in the sky.
An originally dim star becomes brighter, more brilliant, dazzling and dazzling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Huh?"
Cheng Lin was a little surprised.
Under what circumstances does a star become brighter quickly?
There may be many possibilities, but one guess that is easier to think of is...
"It is approaching, approaching at a terrifying speed that is unimaginable and incomprehensible!"
Cheng Lin's hand gripping the window sill suddenly tightened.
Immediately, he discovered that the scenery in his field of vision blurred, which was a sign of time accelerating. It did not last long, and probably only blurred for a short moment before becoming clear again.
It felt like he blinked.
Close your eyes, then open them.
That star has already descended into this world from a distant place:
Cheng Lin's field of vision was filled by a terrifying meteor with no visible edges. Its huge, devastated surface was filled with deep pits and ravines, storms and fire, coldness and death.
It is suspended above the city, weighing down on everyone's heads, heavy.
The world seems to be suffocating.
Under the influence of huge gravity, the buildings and life attached to the surface began to decompose, collapse, and float upward.
However, this scene did not last long, and the world was enveloped in an extremely strong light.
The next moment, Cheng Lin seemed to hear the roar and lamentation of the earth.
A strong wind blew up, causing the window to rattle. He held on to the window sill to prevent himself from falling.
The world is silent.
He could no longer hear any sounds, except the information directly acting on his mind:
[On this day, a mysterious star hits the earth's surface]
