Chapter 169 Filling the hole: the missing 1000 years

Chapter 169 Filling the hole: the missing 1000 years

"How to say?"

Xie Shen looked confused: "Although everything that is happening to me at this moment, it does seem like I have gone back to the past."

"But actually, I'm in my dream now."

"In a dream?" Li Xiu asked Xie Shen with interest, "Can you tell us more?"

Xie Shen thought for a while and said: "I remember that at this point in time, Chinese officials had already done some research on unspeakable creatures, right?"

Li Xiu nodded and signaled Xie Shen to continue.

The latter continued: "The reason why I am falling into a dream now is just because I met an indescribable creature named 'Dream'"

…

In the next period of time, Xie Shen explained to Li Xiu some information about the indescribable creature 'Dream' in great detail.

After hearing this, Li Xiu showed a trace of undetectable excitement on his face.

He briefly compiled the information revealed by Xie Shen and concluded: "So you mean that you are an immortal cultivator. When you made a breakthrough on a planet called Jingchen, you were attacked by the indescribable creature 'Meng' pollution.”

"As time goes by, the pollution in your body becomes more and more serious."

"Until the final explosion."

"Affected by the pollution, you are directly dragged into the dream world."

Li Xiu finally confirmed to Xie Shen: "You shouldn't have missed any details above, right?"

"No." Xie Shen responded: "Basically consistent with the facts."

In the interrogation room.

Li Xiu was silent for a moment and then said: "So, do you have evidence to prove everything you said? Otherwise, based on the information you have revealed so far, I am not enough to fully trust you."

Want evidence?

When Xie Shen heard this, his eyes looked thoughtful.

Because he is in the dream world, he is currently unable to use either extraordinary power or divine consciousness.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to prove it by showing one's cultivation.

Considering this, Xie Shen changed his mind.

He planned to convince Li Xiu with his foresight about the future: "I know a lot of things that are going to happen in the future. This should be used as proof, right?"

"Just like the center of the Antarctic continent."

Xie Shen gave an example: "In the future, flesh and blood will invade from the other world into reality and quickly spread to the world."

"If you believe me, you can send people to search now."

"If nothing else, you should be able to find some scarlet flesh on the ground in Antarctica."

"That's proof."

"Okay." Li Xiu nodded seriously and said, "I've written it down. So is there any other information?"

Xie Shen paused and then said: "There is also a mirror world."

"That is also a world discovered in the future."

"No, that's not right."

As he said that, Xie Shen suddenly changed his words: "It shouldn't be said to be the future"

"As early as the Renaissance in Europe, humans had already discovered the existence of the other world."

"European witches can use human umbilical cords to send ordinary people to the mirror world."

Hearing this, Li Xiu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose out of habit.

He said without changing his expression: "Many high-level people in human society have actually known about the mirror world for a long time."

"It's not really a secret."

"But it's really rare for you to know these secrets."

To prove yourself.

Xie Shen continued: "Then let me tell you a few more things. You are the only one in the world who knows about it!"

"Li Xiu, you have grown up in this military base since you were a child."

"Your favorite anime when you were a kid was Dragon Ball."

"The reason is that there are not many emotional scenes in Dragon Ball, and there is no emphasis on bonding and friendship. The plot is easy to understand."

He continued: "Then again"

"As an artificial product of the laboratory, although you do not have many emotions, you still have the sense of touch and pain."

"You can still feel pain just like ordinary people."

“But because there are so many missing emotions, you can’t express these feelings.”

After hearing this, Li Xiu completely believed everything Xie Shen said.

Just because of the secret that Li Xiu "does not have emotions, but can feel pain", apart from Dr. Min, who created him, only he himself knows about it.

However, this is not the end.

Xie Shen then threw out an incredible secret again: "In addition to the above secrets, I also know that Dr. Min had" before his death

"Don't go on about this." Li Xiu interrupted Xie Shen and pointedly said: "There is a recorder installed in this interrogation room."

"I don't want this secret to be known to too many people."

"Understood." Xie understood what he meant and said, "Then I won't go on."

"Anyway, now you can trust me completely, right?"

In the interrogation room.

Li Xiuchong expressed his stance to Xie Shen: "From now on, I will choose to believe every word you say for the time being."

"Because your previous performances cannot be explained by common sense."

"But there is a problem, I have to help you sort it out first."

"Say it." Xie Shen said cooperatively.

But Li Xiu slowly spoke: "I personally feel that the world you are currently in is not an illusion derived from the 'dream' of unspeakable creatures, but the real reality."

"How is it possible?" Xie Shen frowned and said, "Didn't everyone say that time travel is impossible?"

"Anyone can only travel to the future, but not back to the past."

"Otherwise, problems like the grandfather paradox cannot be solved."

"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed impossible for people to go back to the past." Li Xiu continued Xie Shen's words: "After all, as you just said, problems like the grandfather paradox will arise after traveling through time."
< br>

"Nothing"

As he said that, Li Xiu suddenly changed the subject and said: "The problem of the grandfather paradox is not completely unsolvable."

"How to solve it?" Xie Shen was startled when he heard this.

Li Xiudao: "You should have heard of the 'Schrödinger's cat' theory, right?"

"It's like putting a poisoned cat into a black box."

"Since the lethality rate of the poison is only 50%, the cat will always be in a quantum superposition state between life and death before the box is opened."

"I've heard of this theory before, and it seems a bit confusing." Xie Shen asked Li Xiu: "So, is there some connection between this theory and the grandfather's paradox?"

Li Xiu replied: "Based on the information you just revealed to me: you traveled to the world of cultivation in 2025 AD, so you don't know exactly what happened on earth after 2025. I probably didn't tell you. Wrong? ”

"Nothing wrong." Xie Shen nodded in response.

Li Xiu continued: "Since you don't know the history after 2025, then this history is equivalent to 'Schrödinger's box' to you."

"Everything you do in the future will become part of history."

"You can't change history."

"Because you don't know what will happen in the future at all." "So for you, traveling back in time is completely achievable."

This.

After hearing this, Xie Shen retorted: "Not necessarily?"

"Actually, I still vaguely remember some major historical events that happened after 2025."

"Just like the 33 Convention signed in 2133 AD."

"Another example is the year 2233 AD, when the end of mankind is completely ushered in on earth."

"This is information I learned from the future."

"So?" Li Xiu followed Xie Shen's instructions: "So what if you knew this in advance?"

"You are just an ordinary person now."

"It is impossible for you to live until 2133 AD and then influence the course of human history."

Xie Shen was still dissatisfied.

He continued to retort: ​​"I won't live that long, but I can always influence the current direction of history, right? In this case, wouldn't the grandfather paradox still occur?"

"You can't influence it." Li Xiu said categorically: "If I guess correctly: the top human beings will probably deliberately erase all history about the future for you."

"The methods include but are not limited to: destroying all historical documents, such as paper documents and various electronic archives."

"In this way, you will not be able to learn anything about what happened after 2025 from historical documents."

"As long as you don't know, then Schrödinger's box can be realized, and then going back to the past can be realized."

Li Xiu finally asked Xie Shen: "Am I right in my guess? Is it true that humans in the future will deliberately erase a large period of history just for you?"

"Don't tell me, it's true!" Xie Shen was a little surprised at Li Xiu's reasoning ability.

He said in disbelief: "In the future, due to some unknown reason, the history from 2233 AD to 3233 AD will indeed be erased by high-level human beings."

"Everything is consistent with what you are reasoning about now!"

"Li Xiu, you are indeed smart!"

[In case anyone does not understand this short paragraph, hereby remind you: this foreshadowing is buried in Chapter 87 of Volume 2]

After some emotion.

Xie Shen couldn't help but doubt: "But the question is, will the top human beings really make such a big noise just to help me travel back to the past?"

"But the question is, will the top human beings really take the initiative to erase nearly a thousand years of history for my sake?"

"Why not?" Li Xiu asked back: "If your contribution to all mankind is great enough, even to the point where you are indispensable, then let alone erasing nearly a thousand years of history, no matter how outrageous it is. , the top human beings are also willing to do it.”

"Is it because of the contribution I have made?" Xie Shen muttered in a low voice, as if muttering to himself.

I saw Li Xiu emphasizing: "Yes, because of your contribution."

"Don't say anything else."

"Just the Tiangong Space Station you mentioned when you talked to me before."

"You may not know yet."

Li Xiuchong reminded Xie Shen: "In fact, there is no such plan at all in the plans of high-level human beings to deal with the doomsday."

"They didn't even think about expanding the space station."

"So I make a bold guess: the future space station will be born because you traveled back in time."

"So from this point of view, your time travel is really important."

"That's why the top human beings will not hesitate to erase more than a thousand years of history for you."

"In this way, Schrödinger's box is artificially created, thus perfectly solving the problem of the grandfather paradox."

After listening to Li Xiu's explanation, Xie Shen suddenly thought of another question.

He wondered: "Speaking of which, since everything I experience at this moment is the real reality and part of history, then why do you not know me at all when I meet you in the tower prison in the future?" What about me?”

Li Xiu said matter-of-factly: "Although this is something that happened in the future, I don't know the details."

"But if I'm not wrong"

"The reason why I won't know you in the future is most likely because I'm deliberately pretending."

"The purpose is to not affect the development and direction of all subsequent events."

Hearing this, Xie Shen suddenly discovered another loophole similar to the 'grandfather paradox'.

He retorted to Li Xiu: "Then what if you suddenly change your decision and choose to meet me in Tower Prison?

"Even inform me of everything that may happen in the future."

"If you really do this, what will happen in the future?"

"I can't do this." Li Xiu replied: "If I did this, problems like the 'grandfather paradox' would arise, which would prevent you from traveling back in time."

Xie Shen was a little confused.

He spread his hands and said: "But now that I have traveled back in time, this has become an established fact, isn't it?"

In the interrogation room.

After hearing what Xie Shen said, Li Xiu suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly and forced smile.

He said meaningfully: "Why do you think that everything you are experiencing now must be reality?"

"Remember." Li Xiu emphasized: "Now you are like Schrödinger's cat in a box."

"Schrödinger's cat is between the quantum superposition of life and death."

"And you are between the quantum superposition state of the real world and the dream world."

"Everything you do will have serious consequences for yourself."

"If you follow history, you make the right choice."

"Then everything you are experiencing now will become reality."

"Since this is reality, I am confident that I can send your consciousness back to your future body."

As he said that, Li Xiu suddenly changed the topic.

"And if you make the wrong choice, you change history as it should have happened."

"Then everything you are experiencing now will become a dream."

"At that time, you will be trapped in this dream forever, until eternity."

Xie Shen is not a physicist.

He doesn't understand the so-called 'quantum superposition' theory.

But he could still understand what Li Xiu wanted to express.

In short: don't try to change the direction of history, otherwise he will be trapped in the dream world forever.

Now that he understood the key to this, Xie Shen did not continue to ask further questions.

He just expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with Li Xiu's arrangements.

But Li Xiu said: "So."

"In the following period, I will find a way to arrange for you to meet with official bosses from all over the world as soon as possible."

"Whether it's in real life or having a conversation online."

"In short, tell them everything you know truthfully as soon as possible."

"Only in this way can we, the top human beings, rely on foresight and foresight to make various arrangements for the future in advance."

Xie Shen is still quite willing to help all mankind tide over the difficulties.

Immediately he replied to Li Xiu without hesitation: "Okay, you are responsible for the arrangements anyway, and I will just cooperate."

After talking about major issues related to the future of mankind, Xie Shen turned the topic to himself.

"Then, there is only one problem left to be solved." Xie Shen said to Li Xiu: "You just said that you are sure that you can send my consciousness back to the future body. So what exactly do you plan to do? Can you follow me now? Through the bottom? ”
