"Leave it to me. I will explain it later. Let's try to get along well."
"I see."
Lingyu said.
"Then it's settled."
"I don't know if I can do it well, I don't have confidence."
"no problem."
"Although it's not your turn to say this." Lin Xiao said.
"Explanation?" Tongzi said.
"It was the same just now. Didn't you continue to show that you are not good at it as always?" Lin Xiao said.
"It doesn't matter what happens to my affairs now," Tongzi said.
After reaching the conclusion, the discussion was stopped, so Lili would pay attention to other voices no matter what.
"Let's talk."
Unable to insist on listening to that voice, Tongzi said: "Want to watch the live broadcast? There is a special live broadcast of animation."
"Even if you say you don't approve, you still have to see it. Then please do it."
Lingyu answered as if giving up, silently watching Tongzi sit down in front of the PC and put on the headphones.
"Ah."
"What's the matter, uncle?"
"It's nothing. I think they really have a close relationship between father and daughter."
"Really?"
"Well, future Kiriko feels the same way."
"But I'm a little thinner and more handsome."
"I can't imagine it," Lin Xiao said.
The conversation stopped here again. In fact, for Lingyu, there was a mountain of questions that both of them had to talk about.
So because of this, Lin Xiao had nothing to say.
Maybe, it's the same for Lingyu.
With nothing else to do, both of them naturally looked at the TV screen, where the news continued to play.
While the host was explaining, the scene of more than a hundred customers queuing up since the morning was played.
"It's so peaceful."
"When I was sensible, these scenes no longer existed."
The small and beautifully dressed women on the TV screen are smiling.
"I'm really envious. They don't have to kill anyone, and they won't be killed by anyone."
"In the era when I grew up, no matter who the opponent was, they had to be killed without mercy. The next time, my life might end. That kind of fear was always with me whether I was a navy soldier or I was awake.
In order to forget fear, there is no other way but to surrender to madness and put yourself on one side."
That was the so-called war and it was a painful experience for Lingyu.
Having experienced the nightmare world of French fries, I have never experienced such a world.
"Father and the others were classified as villains because of the time machine."
The time machine Reiyu rides on was developed by Kiriko.
Its performance is much higher than that of the other world line.
"I was also hunted because I left the team and joined my father and the others."
"After that, more brutal battles happened several times. I don't want to say what justice we fought for."
"Many people died, including my mother."
Tongzi, who was watching the live broadcast on her PC, felt her back tremble slightly.
While pretending to look at the monitor, he listened to Lingyu's words.
"To protect me, he was shot to death."
It was the first time I heard Awanyin talk about her deathbed. Did such a beautiful woman end up dying like this?
"These eyes have seen the broken mother, and this body has been bathed in the mother's hot red color."
Maybe Lingyu didn't want to meet this 2010 mother because she didn't want Yuji to know about the future.
It's impossible to say it out loud, that kind of future.
"That, uncle."
Lingyu's eyes were moist for some reason.
"There is hell ahead of this timeline. It doesn't have to be right now. There is still some time before the final time."
"So even if you try again, think about it, please, please."
"I..."
You know, you understand it rationally, and the right choice for a person is to follow You Ji's approach.
But destroying the life of his beloved girl made him feel very scared.
The scenery in front of me swayed unsteadily, and my field of vision turned completely black.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth, feeling like vomiting and pain came over me, as if my stomach was turning over.
"uncle?"
"Are you okay?" Tongzi said.
"Ah, sorry."
Lingyu poured a glass of water on the quilt.
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't say such things."
"No, it's not a big deal, it's okay."
Lying down on the sofa, Lingyu knows what he is talking about and what his mood is.
But I have experienced the drift of the world line many times.
In a world different from this one, I would like to present someone who has seen being played with by a time machine.
"I have also seen your tragic ending."
"I was involved in it myself and learned that it was useless to do anything."
How powerless human beings are in the face of this world structure.
"Using a time machine to change the world line means breaking away from the composition principles of this universe."
"It is not an area that we humans should intervene in, that is, the scope of God. If we touch it, we will suffer even more cruel punishment.
I think so." Lin Xiao said.
"Is that my uncle's answer?"
"At least for now."
"Is it."
"It's okay to be looked down upon as just an escape."
"Wouldn't do that."
It seemed to be Lingyu's recent habit. She looked at the ceiling and sighed.
At this time, a piece of news was played.
After hearing this, Lin Xiao's shoulders were shaken by the impact.
Regarding the situation explained, he had personal experience of being unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, losing the sense of time, and having different memories from those around him.
Isn't that exactly caused by the time machine?
...........
In 1975, Lingyu and Beng, who boarded the time-travel machine, successfully traveled through time.
The girl was surrounded by large and small gauges, and in the cabin filled with the smell of metal, only her whimpering echoed.
It had been about an hour since Ling Yumo went outside the machine to inquire about the situation.
I thought she would have had enough crying, but that didn't happen.
"How long do you plan to cry? You have to be strong and think about Mayu's mood."
"Mother?"
"I told you not to cry, I look upset."
"but."
Lingyu walked towards the bonfire, and then knelt down so that her eyes were level with the girl's, but she didn't want to coax her.
Because it is for salvation that is the first task of mankind.
"Very good. From now on, I will regard Bon Bon as a member of Valkyrie. As my subordinate, I will no longer be a useless combatant."
"This is 1975. There is no one we know here. Neither I nor Zhenyu were born, which means there is someone to protect us."
"You make your own decisions about your own life."
The strong Bon finally remembered that now was not the time to cry. She tried desperately to hold back her tears. Although she was not very successful, it was much better than crying emotionally.
Lingyu knew that this child was very smart.
"We don't have much time. It would be very troublesome if people of this era discovered the time machine.
"
The machine arrived on the roof of this broadcasting hall because it is inaccessible. Unless there is an accident, the possibility of being discovered by a third party is very low.
It's just that in this era, no one can hide the machine. If you think about it this way, you really can't keep it for a long time.
It is necessary to complete the mission as much as possible and then jump to the next era.
"If it fails, can I use the time machine to come back?"
"We also need to consider the replacement of fuel. The number of jumps that can be made is not unlimited. If it cannot work at the critical moment, it will be in vain."
"That's it."
"Can you stand up?"
Lingyu urged Beng to come outside.
The dazzling sunlight made Beng squint his eyes in surprise.
The sky in Tokyo in this era would be too dirty to call it a blue sky. The smoke and dust of unknown origin are emitted from the Yantai lined with factories.
As well as the optical smog formed by the black exhaust emitted by the cars crawling in groups on the ground, the sky above the city is covered by a curtain of death composed of these things.
However, even so, for Bon, this is probably the clear sky that Hu Ru has experienced, and the sunshine like this is something she has only seen in videos and books so far.
After the battle in the future, the sky was occupied by light gray clouds, with only a faint halo reflected from behind. She had never been bathed in such strong sunlight.
"When I was a child, the sky still felt like this. Although it was very blurry, I can still recall it."
Lingyu looked at the sky, thoughtfully.
“The air is so fresh.”
Compared with 2030, when you have to wear a filter mask when you go out for a long time, the air here is too clean.
"Understood, Bon, why do dad and the others want to block everything and change everything? What is the world line like and what is its history? We can talk about these big principles later. Now we have to protect this sky."
Bon thought of something and took out the faded green key chain from his pocket.
Staring at it with a lonely expression, she probably reminded her of her mother's true love and wanted to understand her mother's intention of letting her get on the time machine.
Seeing Bon's appearance, Lingyu judged that there was something wrong with the time machine. She closed the door of the time machine from the outside, and then the machine automatically set that the only person who could open the door was Lingyu who had been authenticated in advance. In case the machine was
Whoever discovers it will not immediately know its function.
"Bang, look at this."
Lingyu gave the printed photo to the girl.
"What's this?"
"It's an old computer called ibn5100. No matter what kind of computer it was in our time, it wouldn't work properly, but it can work normally in this day and age."
"Separately search for this, which is the first mission for you and me."
"Use this for contact."
Lingyu handed Bon a walkie-talkie.
"The communication distance seems to be very short, so just treat it as better than nothing."
"Um."
"How about we gather in front of this building every 90 minutes to check on each other's situation."
"Um."
"Well done."
Lingyu nodded and then touched Bon's head.
"Okay, the mission begins."
.......
Lingyu looked at the scenery below her from the roof of the Broadcasting Center in 2010.
"35 years,?"
In the real world, Lingyu had spoken to Bong in the same place so long ago, but as far as Lingyu's body perception time was concerned, it was only a few months ago.
The view from the roof of the Broadcasting Center has also changed a lot. In the next 26 years, it will change dramatically again. I have actually witnessed the changes of this building for 61 years.
Rather than being filled with emotion, Lingyu realized the fear of living in a different time than others.
Using a time machine to change the world line means getting away from the composition of this universe.
Lin Xiao's words flashed through his mind.
Speaking of which, I have started to recall more and more things about the camp recently.
Reiha is patrolling this street regularly, and she is looking for Shiina Bon.
I don't even know if she is in this city, I have no clues, and I don't even know her current appearance.
So this kind of behavior is useless at all. Even so, Lingyu must find Bon Bon because of his own responsibility.
But as a result, I got nothing today and it was all in vain.
Looking back, she looked at the time machine. It was Lingyu's must-do job to come here at the end every day.
The most important reason why I come here to check every day is to confirm that my father and baby Mi have been here.
As long as Reiyu doesn't pay attention to Tongzi, he will try to come here to check the machine, even if he tells him to cause the out-of-control paradox, it will be useless.
Therefore, Lingyu must always be vigilant. To be honest, her mental fatigue continues unabated.
At this time, the sound of the iron door opening was mixed with the sound of wind on the roof.
Could it be that his father is here? Lingyu carefully observed the dim entrance and exit, and what appeared there was a girl with cat ears who was far more petite than her father.
"Meow meow, yes, yes, Lingyu meow.
"Sister Liuwei, you are here."
Phyllis walked in with a brisk pace.
"Who is Sister Liuwei talking about? Phyllis is Phyllis."
"Sister Liu Wei is sister Liu Wei."
Felice's real life is Rumi Akiba. As Kiriko's friend, she has provided him with various supports until 2036.
Therefore, Lingyu has been familiar with her since childhood and has always called her Sister Liuwei. Of course, in this era, she seems to want others to call her Felice no matter what.
However, even if I ask for a reason, I will just say some inexplicable questions like Phyllis is Phyllis, which is very disturbing.
"There's no one there, so I was just wondering if it was here. It looks really neat and tidy. I'm sorry to give you this as a consolation gift, although I'm selling the leftovers."
Phyllis showed the cake to Lingyu. This was the maid cafe where she worked.
"It's really nice."
If you feed him this at this time, he will get even fatter.
"It's not Tongzi, it's for Lingyu."
'Why?'
"Obviously I like it very much."
Phyllis snickered and poked Lingyu's side with her elbow.
"I, I didn't."
“Very delicious, very delicious.”
Phyllis opened the lid of the cake box and showed it to Lingyu. The smell of sweet cream and fruit instantly enveloped her face.
"Come on, let's start now. You're welcome. Just start it."
"drum."
"Come on, come on, let Phyllis feed you."
"Put it in the refrigerator and I'll eat it in the mud."
"Meow haha."
Phyllis smiled and handed the cake box to Lingyu.
"The expiry date is tomorrow, so eat it quickly."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Phyllis Mischievous blinked one eye and nodded, then raised her head and looked up at the time machine.
"How is Kiriko-kun's research on timing machines going?"
"It seems like he's trying his best."
"Sister Liu Wei, does it matter if you keep putting this machine here?"
Lingyu looked around the entire rooftop and asked Phyllis.
The reason why such a big thing has not caused a commotion when it is placed here is all because of Phyllis.
She is an heir to an influential family in the area.
She also made a huge contribution to the development of Akihabara. Because of this relationship, she took the initiative to take on the task of hiding the time machine.
