Yu
Chapter 1169 Accompany
...
Stone villa, forest lakeside.
Returning to the present, Jiang Xiao stood silently by the lake, looking at the calm water, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Under the moonlight, it was so quiet here, without a single sound.
In normal times, Jiang Xiao would have summoned the Buzzing Whale and Pupu Whale to play, but at this moment, he was not in the mood.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiao squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it into the lake.
"Thump~"
In his mind, he still saw his old self trapped in the air wall.
Jiang Xiao understood himself, so... Jiang Xiao also understood the other party.
Jiang Xiao considered himself a person who would not admit defeat. Since he possessed such an ability, he would definitely make up for the regrets in his heart.
The Stonemason did not say that he would rescue the 29 heroic souls who disappeared in the Yan Tribunal, so... his life path was likely to be changed. Perhaps he did not pass the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University entrance exam, and thus did not have this experience.
And Jiang Xiao's first time participating in the World Cup was precisely because of the Yan Tribunal incident. Perhaps... the Stonemason had not even participated in two World Cups.
Did he meet Yi Qingchen? Did... the disciples of the Yi family, because of his absence, avoid the slaughter of the Huaxing organization?
What kind of life did the Stonemason have?
Did he... also have someone who never left his side and accompanied him?
In his world, where did Han Jiangxue... go?
Oh, right... His world collapsed under the burden of his time travels, and he probably lost Han Jiangxue as well.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao pressed one hand on the ground and slowly lowered his head.
"What's wrong?" A voice suddenly came from his side. Accompanied by the spreading Black Sky Teleportation Barrier, Jiang Xiao heard the voice that he probably most wanted to hear at this moment.
When facing Jiang Xiao alone, the voice was no longer cold, but filled with deep concern.
Jiang Xiao raised his head and saw the beautiful figure beside him.
The moonlight reflected Han Jiangxue's charming face, and also outlined a halo of clear light around her body.
"What happened?" Han Jiangxue squatted down and placed one hand on Jiang Xiao's back. She tilted her head slightly, examining Jiang Xiao's face, "Did you go see Hopkins?"
"No, no." Jiang Xiao shook his head, "I won't go see him. I have no bargaining chips, nor am I qualified."
Han Jiangxue gently "mm" and said, "You are not someone who cares about physical pain and fatigue, so... what happened?"
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and did not speak.
Han Jiangxue moved her palm forward and gently pressed it on Jiang Xiao's head, saying, "Don't want to talk about it?"
Jiang Xiao grinned, "It's not like there's anything I can't say."
Han Jiangxue: "Mm?"
Looking at her inquiring expression, Jiang Xiao thought for a while, then flashed away, taking Han Jiangxue to Shudao, to the small island where the Hai Tianqing family once lived.
The sea breeze blew, bringing a salty smell. Jiang Xiao sat down on the beach and said, "I met my future self."
Hearing this, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but be stunned.
Jiang Xiao reached out and patted the sand beside him.
Han Jiangxue did not hesitate and sat down beside Jiang Xiao, looking at the sea shrouded in the night, and said, "What's the future you like?"
Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "To be precise, it's the future me in another time and space, whose life is completely different from mine."
"Mm..." Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, as if digesting the information Jiang Xiao conveyed.
Jiang Xiao said, "My Time Rift has reached the highest quality. It allows me to travel through time and space. Of course, I can only go back to the past, not to the future."
Han Jiangxue: "Go back to the past?"
Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, go back to the past. As long as I have a picture in my mind, I can go back, but I don't have a picture of the future. I can't rely on imagination to travel, so I can only go back to the past."
Han Jiangxue looked at the baseball cap Jiang Xiao was wearing, the jeans he was wearing, and the jacket he was holding in his hand, and said, "You went back."
Jiang Xiao silently said, "Went back. My Huaxing Chengwu · Jiu Xing Mou allows me to trace time and see what happened in the past, at most a year, I can't see more...
But this Jiao Yang · Time Rift can really take my body back to the past."
"Jiao Yang." Han Jiangxue chewed on these two words, seeming to think of a fiercely burning, radiant sun.
It was a pity that it was Jiao Yang (scorched sun), not Jiao Yang (proud sun).
Jiang Xiao said, "This was originally a journey of memories, and also an experiment to see how capable I am, but I didn't expect to meet him."
Han Jiangxue: "Who?"
Jiang Xiao: "Jiang Xiao."
Han Jiangxue: "Mm..."
Jiang Xiao said, "I originally planned to go back and find your parents after this experiment, or... go to the south gate of the Imperial Capital University, to help those pioneers' heroic souls, go back to the Yi family to rescue those disciples, but he told me that I can't.
The Time Rift is more like a trap, a joke."
Han Jiangxue was intelligent and asked softly, "Is there a price to pay?"
Jiang Xiao turned his head and looked at Han Jiangxue in surprise.
Han Jiangxue looked at the dark sea, and her soft voice was mixed with the rising and falling sound of the waves, "Traveling through time and space, such a Star Technique, sounds too terrible, so terrible that... perhaps it requires a price."
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips, never imagining that as an observer, she could see so clearly.
Jiang Xiao casually threw his jacket aside, leaned back slightly, supported the beach with both hands, and looked at the endless sea in front of him, saying, "That's right."
Han Jiangxue: "What's the price?"
Jiang Xiao pondered for a long time, and said, "Because he traveled through time and space many times and tampered with history, the original time and space appeared chaotic and collapsed, and he was also stranded here, imprisoned in a special environment. No matter how strong he is, he cannot get out of that prison."
Han Jiangxue said softly, "I won't let you do that, Jiang Xiao."
Jiang Xiao: "What?"
Han Jiangxue: "Don't be sad about not being able to find your parents. I cherish the present, and I cherish the people around me now."
Jiang Xiao: "Mm..."
In fact, even if I don't listen to your advice and go to rescue your parents, the people who are rescued will be the parents of another Han Jiangxue, and it will have nothing to do with you.
Moreover, on another time branch, countless people waiting for the catastrophe to come will be created.
Jiang Xiao silently looked at Han Jiangxue under the moonlight. The sea breeze blew her long hair, revealing his profile.
Jiang Xiao once wondered, since the Time Rift cannot be used, what is the meaning of giving such a Star Technique effect?
Is it just to fool humans?
Until this moment, Jiang Xiao understood.
The meaning of this Star Technique to him may be Han Jiangxue's words just now.
Parents, for Han Jiangxue, are a lingering heart problem that runs through her Star Warrior career, and even her entire life.
She did her best to improve her strength, entered the Night Watch and joined the Light Chasers, and went to the Dragon Cave, all in order to embark on the path her parents once took and find clues about them.
If there was an opportunity in front of her, telling her that she could find her parents.
What would her mood be?
For many years, dreams that were unattainable no matter how hard she tried could be realized in an instant... What would be the reaction of the average person?
But Han Jiangxue was so calm. Facing Jiang Xiao, she said, "I cherish the present, and I cherish the people around me now."
Thinking about it from her perspective, putting myself in her shoes... Jiang Xiao believed that he might not be able to do it.
"Don't talk about such topics anymore, don't mention it to anyone." Han Jiangxue curled up her legs, wrapped her knees with her hands, her eyes were a little scattered, and she asked softly, "Is there another me by his side to accompany him?"
Jiang Xiao opened his mouth, but after a long time, he couldn't say a word.
Han Jiangxue did not turn her head, but she sensed Jiang Xiao's reaction, and the answer was self-evident.
Indeed, the Stonemason had nothing. He was in prison, alone, enduring the rest of his life in solitude.
Jiang Xiao's existence was the Stonemason's only spiritual sustenance. At least the Stonemason in 2016, at least the Stonemason at the time Jiang Xiao went back to, was still waiting for the news of Jiang Xiao's victory, waiting for the news that another Jiang Xiao's life was on the right track.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao had a bad feeling in his heart.
It was already 2020.
At this moment, on Earth, the Stonemason in that ancient imperial tomb should already know that Jiang Xiao had won the national championship, and even two World Cup championships, and also knew that Jiang Xiao had joined the Weiyu Brigade. He should know all about his battles over the years.
So... at this moment, is that Stonemason still alive?
After he saw everything was on the right track, would he still be willing to endure the ravages of time alone in that prison? Had he already passed away?
Or... is the other party still waiting for Jiang Xiao to return from the alien ball, waiting to witness the true ending of this catastrophe?
Jiang Xiao pondered secretly in his heart. In a daze, he felt an arm resting on his shoulder.
Turning his head, he saw Han Jiangxue stretching out her arm, putting it around Jiang Xiao's shoulder, exerting a little force, and hugging him in her arms.
The next moment, she lowered her head, and her lips gently touched Jiang Xiao's hair, "Promise me, never leave me."
Jiang Xiao: "Mm."
Han Jiangxue: "I want your promise."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "You know, just now, he also asked me for a promise, asking me to promise him that I would never go back to the past, let alone tamper with history."
Hearing this, Han Jiangxue's tense mood relaxed a lot, and she said softly, "Because people who know you know what you believe in. So?"
Jiang Xiao: "I promise you."
Han Jiangxue finally showed a smile and slowly straightened her legs.
Jiang Xiao also leaned over and lay down, resting his head on her legs.
The night on Shudao was not cold. Under the sea breeze, it was even a little cool.
Jiang Xiao said softly, "I feel a little depressed. Tomorrow, let's go kill some Huaxing, to relieve my depression."
"Hehe." Han Jiangxue smiled, put her fingers on Jiang Xiao's head, gently fiddled with his short hair, and said, "What you said sounds like a big villain."
"I am the great demon king..."
Under the night sky, on the island.
The sound of the waves rising and falling, accompanied by the rustling of the wind blowing through the trees, made the environment here even more tranquil.
On the beach, the two chatted softly, and all their troubles seemed to be submerged in the vast night.
