Mystery: The Star Key

The latest website: Above the gray fog.

A familiar scene, a familiar sight. Senior Xiao Zhou was still sitting in the usual seat waiting for him.

But this time, Su Yuanning didn't say hello first.

Zhou Mingrui didn't speak either, but looked at him silently.

Su Yuanning clenched his fists and walked to Zhou Mingrui step by step from far to near.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at Zhou Mingrui, who was sitting on the sofa, wearing home clothes, glasses on his nose, his hands folded in front of him, and looked at him silently and silently.

Su Yuanning didn't know how to speak.

After returning to the City of Silver, he thought a lot.

However, he still felt that thinking, thought and language were so pale and empty at this moment.

Here is the earth...

...this is the Earth.

"Here, it's a misplaced time and space in the multiverse. Senior Xiao Zhou."

Su Yuanning asked, but his voice was low and hoarse, and he couldn't even recognize it himself.

"We're here because of a mistake in parallel time and space, right?" Su Yuanning said.

"The place we live in is Earth, and not Earth, right?"

This was the most likely explanation he had just thought of.

Although the multiverse theory had not been confirmed at the time of his crossing, what else could more reasonably explain the situation at hand?

However, Su Yuanning did not get the affirmative answer he expected.

Zhou Mingrui clenched his hands tightly, but his eyes were full of compassion.

He didn't speak, but Su Yuanning could easily get the answer from his expression.

- "No, there is no multiverse, this is Earth."

"How could it be?" Before Zhou Mingrui could answer, Su Yuanning immediately asked the question like a barrage of cannons, "How could this be the Earth?"

"God doesn't play dice, and there can be no superposition in the macroscopic world."

Su Yuanning said: "If there is no parallel universe, how can the world in front of us, a world similar to the industrial revolution opened by Emperor Roselle, and the world we live in exist at the same time?"

"Senior Xiao Zhou, tell me..." Su Yuanning said softly, but after that, Su Yuanning's voice began to tremble.

"The place we live in is not our earth, is it?"

Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'll show you something," he said.

The scene in front of Su Yuanning's eyes changed instantly, he could realize that he had entered the depths of the mysterious space above the gray fog, and he saw several steps of light that seemed to lead to the sky. Every step seems to be built for giants, and every step seems to be condensed by pure light. sacred and inviolable.

One step, two steps, a walk... With Zhou Mingrui's gesture, Su Yuanning walked to the end, jumped, and stepped on the clouds formed by the gray fog.

What caught his eye was a bright door of light stained with a little blue and black.

That door of light is made up of countless layers of light spheres, each of which is a bunch of twisted worms that hug and clump together. Some are transparent, some are translucent.

Under the door of light, there are thin lines hanging down, and they hang one after another of "silkworm cocoons" that are almost completely transparent.

Those silkworm cocoons have been broken open, and they are empty. There is nothing in them, and they are swaying with the wind.

No one explained, but Su Yuanning looked at these light cocoons and seemed to understand something.

He has never been here, but he seems to have a vague understanding of the role of these light cocoons.

Zhou Mingrui pointed to the fourth empty cocoon in the first row.

"You came from here."

Su Yuanning looked in the direction of Zhou Mingrui's finger and saw the historical fragments after the light and shadow.

Su Yuanning, who was wearing a shirt and trousers, played with the crystal ball he wanted to buy for a friend under the lamp.

In his original memory, while playing with the crystal ball, the stars in it seemed to have changed a little and shimmered.

But that seems to be all there is to it.

However, the scenes shown in the historical fragments are quite different.

Su Yuanning saw that after the crystal ball flashed in his hand, his entire face turned pale, and his eyes became dull.

Next, he drank a bit and ate ~www.readwn.com~ playing on the computer, as if completing the established program.

In the end, he came to the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, washed up blankly, and went to bed.

In the process, he has been unreasonably wearing a shirt and trousers!

Before Su Yuanning could take a closer look, the strong light and shaking ended the corresponding historical segment.

"..."

Su Yuanning fell silent.

He does not doubt the authenticity of the historical fragment, because this fragment contains things he knows, but does not know. If he made up his own dream, it must not have started like this. Because in his impression, he was traveling in his sleep.

Zhou Mingrui waved his hand. They went back to the fireside again.

Zhou Mingrui didn't speak, just snapped his fingers and prepared a cup of hot sweet iced tea for the two of them.

Su Yuanning held the teacup numbly and poured the hot tea down his throat without blinking.

Even though the tea was boiling hot, like a branding iron sliding across his lips and throat, he did not stop his actions.

Because at this moment, the pain in the body and soul is no longer worthy of attention to him.

Zhou Mingrui, who was sitting in the high-backed chair, still didn't say a word. He snapped his fingers to let the hot tea disappear, repairing Su Yuanning's burnt throat.

At the same time, he also replaced Su Yuanning with a glass of frozen lemonade that he would never finish.

After doing these things, Zhou Mingrui looked at the porcelain cup in his hand, lowered his eyes, and gently stirred the tea soup with a porcelain spoon.

For a while, no one spoke, and the surroundings were silent. The crackling of flames in the fireplace was the only sound.

It took an unknown amount of time~www.readwn.com~ Su Yuanning regained his voice.

"If what we have in front of us is the truth. Then, what have I been working on for so long..."

He looked at Zhou Mingrui's eyes a little hollow.

"If you... already knew we couldn't go back..."

"Why, you still tell me..."

"Can you see the hope of going home after being promoted?"
