Chapter 1979 Different worlds, same world
Chen Yihan spoke and interrupted my thoughts, "My guess is this. Your soul is very special. This is not only a matter of ability, but also a sub-effect of ability. You can act freely throughout the long river of time, but no matter how special you are, you still have only one soul."
"It is impossible for me to appear in two cars on a train at the same time, and it is even more impossible for me to appear in two parallel trains at the same time." I said.
Chen Yihan looked at me.
I remember this metaphor that I came up with when Wu Ling and I discussed the future world.
The entrances and exits of those different spaces are fixed platforms.
Countless time lines are trains in parallel in the same direction.
A ghost seized the opportunity and jumped from one train to another, and returned to the past from the future.
My ability to use dreams seems to be a similar effect. However, I don’t need those platforms, I need to use the soul of the dead as the coordinates.
"There must be another I, or, something else, replaces me." I continued.
If so, then it is difficult to define what that thing is.
Things come back to the beginning.
"I still think that's the Ghost King. I seized the opportunity and occupied my body." I said, looking at Chen Yihan, "I understand what you mean, but you don't know that there are channels in this world that will be with the past and the future. The future is not what we created. Well... it should be said that we have created the future, but we have not yet reached that point."
"Are you talking about the entrances and exits of different spaces?" Chen Yihan asked.
I nodded.
The problems pointed out by Chen Yihan instead explained to me the questions that have always existed in the past.
The one who unites the Ghost King is not another me, but that thing. It has discovered my ability since the existence that has been discovered a long time ago. When I use my ability, it occupies my body. It may have experienced the future, or it may have come directly from the future, and aimed at me.
I remembered the ghost who opened a restaurant, and the various powerful ghosts gathered in Minqing City.
I don't know the future, but there are many ghosts who come back from the future, and they must know a lot of things.
My face was a little pale.
The past I know may not be the original past, but the changed past that has been influenced by the Ghost King.
Thinking of this, I felt a little dizzy and always felt like I was trapped in a vicious cycle of time.
What parallel world and what time paradox emerged all of a sudden.
My understanding of this is limited to a few movies, and I can't say I'm proficient.
"We have always wanted to explore that world, but the opportunity is difficult to seize. No one sent out has come back. Ordinary people have not come back, and those with ability have not come back." Chen Yihan said, "There are some of the ghost kings I have caught from, but they can't explain what's going on. It's too closed, and communication is different from modern society. There are telephones and networks in the region like modern society. If you cross the region, you can only rely on some travelers who are wandering in these different regions to convey information."
That collapsed future world...
"The only thing that is clearer at the moment is Morris Town." Chen Yihan continued.
I frowned.
"The historical context is very clear and has great research value. However, even Morris Town has also been out of date for a period of time. It is said that monsters invaded and destroyed the entire city." Chen Yihan took back his phone from me and opened a new file.
The content of the new document is the investigation report of Mosley Town.
In a small town abroad, of course there is no chance to send people to investigate in China. This information is a translated document.
I only looked at the title and asked Chen Yihan: "International contact... cooperation, what is now? A whole?"
If it was really close, the matter of Mingsit would be easier.
Chen Yihan shook his head, "There is international cooperation, but it's not the kind you think."
I was a little disappointed, but this was expected.
It was probably much better than the original situation, but it was not as good as I hoped.
I looked down at my phone and found that there was no change in Morris Town from the past, which was basically the same as what I learned.
It can be confirmed that there is an entrance and exit of a different space, which itself is also in the Ghost King's different space.
Because of the deaths of two generations of ghost kings, namely the Toy Ghost King and Lina, the strange space in that place became very unstable and appeared and disappeared from time to time.
This is probably the history of Morris Town.
Because of this special environment, there have been records of people in the future world and people in the real world.
Morris Town appears and disappears in the real world, and so does it in the future world.
"That place is a bit like your soul." Chen Yihan said, "There is only one who can travel through time and space. When the real world appears, it will disappear in the future world. And vice versa."
I said "yes" and continued to read the information.
"From the current known situation, this phenomenon has not existed since ancient times, but has only appeared in the past hundred years. The future world is also like this. Originally, Morris Town was there, a long-standing ghost town, and there has been a legend of the ghost king, and it has been occupied by the ghost king. It was also in the past hundred years that the place became unstable."
"In other words, the entrance and exit of the different space only appeared in the past century? This is not right?" I remember that the Toy Ghost King passed the entrance and exit very early and reached the real world. In other words, it was to reach the real world of that era.
I rubbed my forehead.
"No, the entrance and exit have existed for a long time, but the abnormality in the entire town's space is recently. It is speculated that this abnormality is related to Lina. It is also inferred based on this that there are two parallel lines." Chen Yihan raised two fingers, "or in other words, there are many time lines."
Both of his hands were spread open.
"The future people can reach here through that entrance and exit, change the past, and the world will enter another timeline. The timeline connected by each entrance and exit may be different. It may be more appropriate to call it the world line. If this continues, it may become countless different worlds." Chen Yihan looked at me, "And you seem to be able to exist in one world line."
I was stunned.
"So, what about you in other world lines?" Chen Yihan asked.
He withdrew his hand, "My thought is that new you will be born in those world lines. If you have intersections with each other, the latter will disappear."
"You mean...that thing...is me?" I still firmly believe that that thing will not be me.
"The personality issue you care about is not the key. A person will develop different personalities in different environments. As you said, there was no ghost king in your original growth environment, but there is one here. So your personality will be different."
"How to explain the coma? I'm in a coma most of the time, how can I develop such a personality?" I retorted.
Chen Yihan’s idea cannot be said to be wrong, but if I had been in a coma for a long time and had not been involved in this world at all, the character I developed should not be like that.
