Chapter 776
Chapter 776
The ventilation system in the training room made a steady hum. Lin Yu's palms rose and fell on the anti-slip mat. Sweat slid down his neck into his collar, leaving a small dark stain on the ground.
He had already done his third set of push-ups. His arm muscles were tense and each rise and fall was done with precise rhythm.
"Go ahead." Heita's voice suddenly came from the door.
She leaned against the door frame, the screen in her arms still on.
Lin Yu kept moving and looked at her sideways in confusion, "What did you say?" His breathing was a little rapid.
"You know what I'm going to say." Heita stood up, stepped in, and the screen flashed a blue light as he moved.
"From the first time you took out the Key of Destiny, I felt something was wrong." She squatted beside Lin Yu and put the terminal in front of him.
On the screen, the energy fluctuation curve of the Key of Destiny overlapped strangely with the time axis of the universe. "This kind of 'time anchor point' feature can only be found by people who have traveled through the time rift."
Lin Yu held up his body and paused for half a second, then returned to normal. "What do you want to say?"
"You came back from the future, right?" Black Tower locked his face tightly. "How else can you explain your knowledge of Dr. Primordial's weaknesses? How did you know Kakame would come back to the confinement compartment? You can even tell him the backup program password."
Lin Yu finally stopped, sat on the mat and looked up at her, sweat dripping down his jawline.
"Even if it is, so what?" He grabbed a towel and wiped his face.
"The future is not a fixed track. Every word I say may cause everything in the present to go astray."
"I didn't let you spoil the ending." Heita put away the terminal and tapped Lin Yu's head lightly with his fingertips. "I just want to know, in the future, have we found 'balance'?"
"Can the possibility of perfection and chaos coexist?"
Lin Yu looked at the rare confusion in her eyes and suddenly smiled, "Have you seen star tracks?" He pointed to the observation window, where the projection outside was slowly rotating.
“Some stars follow their orbits, and some stars occasionally deviate, but they will eventually meet at a certain point to form a new constellation.”
"In the future, we have indeed found the answer. It's not about who will destroy whom. It's like now. You are calculating the formula, Ester is directing the staff, and I... am doing push-ups."
"The most certain thing about the future is that it will always change." Lin Yu stood up and patted her shoulder. "But as long as we have a clear conscience for every step we take now, the ending will not be too bad."
Heita suddenly shouted, "Will my future self still love asking questions like this?"
Lin Yu smiled again, "I love you more than now! But at that time, you had a Silence Lord who always got the questions wrong."
Lin Yu left here and walked towards the control room.
Esta said she had something to discuss with him, but she didn't know what it was.
As she turned and walked towards the door, Lin Yu looked back at Heita. She was fiddling with the terminal with her head down, and her profile looked particularly focused under the light.
He quickly looked away, quickened his pace, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
If we say it’s the future, it’s just three days later.
Lin Yu leaned against the cold cabin wall and gasped, his mind uncontrollably reflecting on the three days of purgatory.
Suddenly, he was dragged into a void rift by Huang Quan, and discovered the secret of the 9th mechanism.
The original Doctor's body was actually a chaos factor that was deliberately stripped away for "optimization".
Later, she was hunted down by Dr. Original and Kakame (she had not yet turned against them at that time).
The most terrifying thing is the scene in the memory crystal, where the Black Tower’s laboratory and space station were bombed into ruins.
What I just said to Heita was just to comfort her.
He can't possibly say that everyone in the future is dead, right?
Lin Yu shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel these images.
He took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the control room.
...
"Lin Yu! You are finally here!" Estelle was standing in front of the main console, holding a glowing part in her hand.
"Look at this! Screw Gum dismantled the energy core, and I found a hidden circuit inside. It seems that it can be transformed into a tracking device!"
Her eyes sparkled. "It's just a little complicated. Can you help me take a look?"
Tracking devices...aren't there a lot of those things?
Lin Yu smiled helplessly. So, Esther was in a hurry to find him just for this?
He walked over and took the part, "Okay, let's take a look at it together."
“Yeah!” Esther was very happy and immediately got very close to Lin Yu, almost touching him.
She pointed to one of the lines and said, "Look here, does this symbol look like a star track mark? I guess it can be linked to the star map, so the tracking range can be tripled!"
“It’s a bit like that, but in the opposite direction.”
"Look, connecting this wire to the energy interface should be able to block the signal."
"Huh? Is that so?" Esther moved closer, her nose almost touching the parts, and the ends of her hair brushed across Lin Yu's arm, bringing a slight itch.
"But ScrewGum said this is a one-way transmission line..."
"It lied to you." Lin Yu picked up the tool and picked up the wire. "Sometimes the machine's brain can't turn around. Have you forgotten what it poured into the cooling system last time?"
Esta burst out laughing.
Aisda looked at Lin Yu's focused profile and suddenly whispered, "Lin Yu, you seem... more reliable than before."
Lin Yu paused, "Maybe I was infected by you."
The screen of the main console suddenly lit up, and ScrewGum's voice came over, "Ms. Ester, if the line is connected in reverse, it will explode."
"besides."
"Stop talking bad about me behind my back, sir."
"Ah!" Esther tried to pull the wire in a panic, but was held down by Lin Yu.
A golden light flashed, and the chaotic energy lines returned to their positions and reorganized like tamed little snakes.
"Done." Lin Yu let go of his hand, and the modified tracking device made a crisp buzzing sound, and the blue light became stable.
Asta looked at the device and suddenly remembered something, "Oh right! Madam Heita asked me to ask you if you want to go to the archives together? Kakamu said that he found the original manuscript of 7!"
"I won't do anything like using my brain."
Lin Yu smiled and put the tracking device into Ester's hand. When his fingertips touched her palm, Ester was stunned for a moment, quickly looked away, and her face flushed slightly.
"I still have to get back on the train." He straightened his coat. "I haven't been home for a day, and I haven't sent any messages. I guess they are very worried about me."
Thinking of his companions on the train, there was a hint of warmth in his tone.
March 7th must be complaining about him running around again.
The anticipation on Esta's face faded a little, but she nodded immediately, "Yeah, it's not good to keep everyone waiting all the time."
Lin Yu picked up his coat and walked towards the door. When he turned around, he saw Estelle grinning at the tracking device. "Say thank you to Black Tower for me."
"Well! Be careful on the road!" Estelle waved her hand and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right! I took a photo of the manuscript and will send it to your terminal later! Even if you're not here, we can still guess together!"
