Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 158 Time Machine

"You should be...not my mother, Dr. Olin, right?"

Seeing Pipa suddenly ask this question, Qiu Qing was stunned for a moment, and Xinye Miao also opened her mouth slightly.

Although they all noticed that there was a problem, they did not think about Dr. Olin's identity. They just thought that it was just a problem with the doctor's condition, but...

In response to Piper's question, Dr. Olin just put his hands on his hips and stared at him for a while. He did not hide it and responded with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed not Dr. Olin."

"!!!"

They knew the answer directly without beating around the bush. Qiu Qing and the others couldn't believe it. Is it so simple?I thought it would at least keep us guessing for a while.

Piper took a deep breath. Although she hadn't met Dr. Olin for many years, she could still tell the feeling. The Dr. Olin in front of her didn't have the familiarity of his mother at all.

"So……"

Qiu Qing wanted to ask, but Dr. Olin already knew what he wanted to ask and answered directly: "I am an AI created by Dr. Olin based on his own memory. Now this body is a machine used to carry it!"

"Good guy! AI!"

"Meow……"

outrageous...

Xinye Miao can't believe that there is such a thing, AI?Is it the kind of artificial intelligence I’ve heard of before?How could such a thing be done!This is not a place like cyberspace.

"Nothing is impossible..."

Qiu Qing shook her head, as long as she thought about it, she could realize it. Maybe this is the rule of District Zero, because this is how the paradoxical species came from.

After hearing what he said just now, Pipa's expression was obviously a little disappointed. He went through so much trouble to come here just to see his mother, but it turned out that what you told here was a lie?Is it AI control?

He calmed down for a while and then asked: "Where did the real Dr. Olin go? She should still be here, right? I don't believe she went back on her own."

"I'm...and I'm not..."

"What do you mean?"

"You should have seen what the fourth observation station looks like when you came here, right?"

"I saw it. It must have been an explosion. Cat said it was probably caused by a Pokémon."

Qiu Qing replied calmly.

Dr. Olin nodded and continued: "Yes, Dr. Olin happened to be inside when that incident happened, and he disappeared in the end."

"What?! Then she..."

"I don't know whether she is dead or alive. I continue to stay here because I am an AI and have set up a program to fulfill Dr. Olin's dream. That's why I continue to stay here. And I also There's no way to leave."

"why?"

"Because of those ferocious Pokémon in Area Zero, I need to manage the defense procedures of the Padia Pit when I stay here to prevent these Pokémon from leaving Area Zero and going out to destroy the ecology. And there is one more important thing. , the time machine is right here, if I were not here to manage it, those Pokémon would continue to come out of the time machine!"

Dr. Olin's AI spoke for a long time in one breath, maybe because it is a robot...

After learning so much information, it would take Qiuqing and the others a while to consume it, but Pipa was more concerned about what happened to his mother.

Now he finally understands why his mother has not contacted him, and has not come home to visit him for so many years. There is not even any news. The answer is...she is no longer here.

Holding back tears and her current emotions, Piper looked at Dr. Olin's AI and asked in a deep voice: "So is she still alive?"

"It's unclear. Although the fourth observation station has teleportation equipment, the explosion happened almost instantly. It's impossible to determine whether she teleported away or was involved in the explosion, leaving nothing behind."

"..."

Pipa couldn't accept this answer, so Qiu Qing and the others had no choice but to comfort him. Moreover, even if they were killed by the explosion, there might be at least something left at the scene, but they had been looking for so long at the fourth observation station and still couldn't find it. So, Most likely it should have been teleported.

But since it was teleported, it means that Dr. Olin himself is still alive, but... this is really hard to explain. Maybe it is amnesia?
Anyway, they could only hold on to this remaining hope, so Qiu Qing changed the topic first, handed the notes in her hand to Dr. Olin's AI, and said: "We have brought the notes, so what about Dr. Futu?" Things, and cyberspace things, can you talk about it conveniently?”

"No problem, come with me."

"Ok?"

Seeing Dr. Olin's AI turn around and walk towards the rear elevator, everyone could only follow him immediately. After hesitating for a moment, Piper followed.

Ding--

The elevator started slowly, and after moving to an unknown depth underground, it finally stopped. At this moment, no one even had a conversation.

At this time, the elevator door finally opened, and a burst of extremely dazzling light shone in, making them unable to open their eyes.

Dr. Olin's AI was not affected in any way, but said aloud: "This is the bottom floor of the Zero Zone Research Institute, and it is also the place where the time machine is stored, and that... is the one that can give Pokémon from ancient times or the future to A time machine transported to this era!”

"Time Machine……"

After hearing this, everyone looked forward together. After finally adapting to the dazzling light here, what came into view was a huge space covered with hexagonal crystals. All the dazzling light came from these crystals. Sent from above.

Above the central area of ​​this space, there is a huge strange device with a very weird shape. From a distance, it looks like there is a large passage in the middle, but no matter who you are, you can feel the extremely huge energy from it!
"Is this the legendary time machine?"

"That's right, develop a time machine, and then send Pokémon that only existed in ancient times to modern times, live with modern Pokémon, and build a paradise. This is Dr. Olin's paradise plan!"

"Paradise...plan?"

Qiu Qing murmured softly, then looked up. After a while of silence, she asked, "Is this the thing that sent Roar Tail and the others here? The ecology of Area Zero has been completely destroyed."

"Of course I know about this problem, but the time machine cannot be shut down now..."

"why?"

"The answer lies in the notes left by Dr. Fotu..."

As he spoke, Dr. Olin's AI opened the note, then reached out and slid it randomly in the air, as if it were in cyberspace, and then all the contents of the note appeared in the air. "This is……"

Qiu Qing and the others looked at it curiously, and Dr. Olin's AI then said: "This is about the future. Dr. Olin has been fond of ancient times since he was a child because of "The Book of Zhu", while Dr. Futu is opposite to her because of a This book is called "The Purple Book" and I have been very fond of the future since I was a child!"

After hearing this, Pipa took out the "Purple Book" from his backpack, but he had never heard of what the "Purple Book" was.

However, Qiu Qing knew that it was the opposite of the content of "The Book of Zhu", and was a book that recorded the paradoxical species in the future, but it shouldn't exist in this world, right?Not even the Grape Academy...

The only information he saw about the "Purple Book" was when he was using Rotom on his mobile phone in cyberspace to film the Future Paradox.

Just when they were all confused about this, Dr. Olin's AI continued: "Because Dr. Futu is not from this world, but from a parallel world!"

"Huh? Parallel universe?"

"That's right, although all the developments in that world are very similar to our world, there is no "Book of Zhu" and Orange Academy, but there is "Book of Purple" and Grape Academy!"

"..."

Now, except for Qiu Qing, everyone became more and more confused. There were already a lot of questions, but now there is even a theory of parallel universes...

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao's mind can't turn around anymore. What is this and what... other worlds?How could such a thing exist!

"But it does exist!"

Dr. Olin's AI continued to say that she has all of Dr. Olin's memories, so she knows very well what happened during that time.

That was when the time machine had not yet been fully developed. Because of the investors, seeing that the park plan had not made any progress for so long, they withdrew their capital to invest in other things.

Without research funding, Dr. Olin's team would eventually be disbanded, and soon she would be left alone, selling off her research materials... But this was still not enough.

Although the research funds were finally enough, she still lacked assistants, and she couldn't believe it if she directly recruited people. After a long time, Dr. Futu came here unexpectedly, as if in response to Dr. Olin's wish.

The personalities of the two were very suitable, and even their dreams were so close. Later, Dr. Fotu also realized that this was not his original world, but he did not want to go back. Then he lived with Dr. Olin, and the two also fell in love. crystallization.

Then a few years later, in the final stage of the development of the time machine, Dr. Olin developed his own AI assistance and finally successfully developed the time machine. Their dream was about to come true.

But at such a critical moment, the time machine malfunctioned, sending Dr. Fotu away and his whereabouts unknown. Dr. Olin also knew very well that this time machine could not take modern creatures away.

But she didn't want to give up, but still...

"Dr. Olin gave me this task before she disappeared. Later, based on the information she left behind, I finally confirmed a few months ago that Dr. Futu should have been sent to cyberspace, although it was unclear. What exactly is the principle?”

Dr. Olin's AI said this. After combing through it, everyone roughly understood it. Qiu Qing touched her chin and asked: "So cyberspace is the future world? There are indeed many futuristic things there."

"It's hard to say, I can only say that it is possible, and I just found records related to cyberspace from Dr. Futu's notes. Dr. Futu may be studying this!"

"So is there anything else in the note? It should be more than that, right?"

"It also records some information about the "Purple Book". Except for Pokémon, the contents are exactly the same as the "Red Book". This is what I want to study."

"Fine……"

Qiu Qing nodded regretfully, but it was enough to gain so much information. As expected, cyberspace has something to do with the future.

If Dr. Fotu, who entered cyberspace because of the time machine, can be found, perhaps everything will be answered.

The expression on Pipa's face, after such a change, seemed to finally accept the reality, but she finally had the answer in her heart, whether it was for her mother... or her father...

Then Qiu Qing thought about it, looked at Dr. Olin's AI, and asked curiously: "What should the treasure in Area Zero be?"

"do not know……"

Dr. Olin's AI shook her head, because even Dr. Olin herself wanted to know this answer, but after staying in Area Zero for so many years, she still had nothing to gain, and there were many questionable contents in the "Book of Zhu" that she had no idea about. No answer found.

After learning this result, Qiu Qing was greatly disappointed. The result was that after a long time of hard work, this was the result?This is indeed true...

But just at this moment, Pipa suddenly became concerned about a question and asked with a serious expression: "Speaking of which, it seems that the explosion of the fourth observation station was caused by an attack, right? But at the bottom of Area Zero, we only I saw Crystal Flower and Crystal Bud, but no other Pokémon appeared."

"Not always……"

"Ok?"

"Perhaps your appearance has already been targeted by it, but it just didn't take action."

Listening to these words, Xinye Miao instantly recalled the strange sight she felt when she first arrived at the bottom of Area Zero... Is it possible?

Pipa also asked: "So that guy is still here now? What is it..."

"You've seen it."

"um, I?"

"Yes, Dr. Olin once brought them out of Area Zero, and even returned home to live with you for a while. You should still remember this, right?"

Listening to what Dr. Olin's AI said, Pipa was slightly stunned and suddenly recalled something, and the other party continued: "That's right, the Pokémon that attacked Dr. Olin was..."

"Greton!"

Pipa gritted his teeth and shouted, Qiu Qing also frowned: "Tell me more."

"Those were the Pokémon that my mother brought back... many years ago. She brought back two of them and named them Gulton. But these two Pokémon were very ferocious, and even I After being attacked and injured by them, my mother left with them and never came back.”

"Is that so..."

Qiu Qing nodded. If the sight outside was Guledon before, then everything would be understandable, and they might also... It would be really difficult to escape. That is a real legendary Pokémon!
The legendary Winged King—Guluton!
