It is very interesting to witness the every move of "myself" as an off-site third party, especially everything I have experienced.
Unfamiliar and familiar, this is the only description that Zheng Qing can think of.
He looked at Jiang Yu in the blink of an eye and changed into a bright red courtyard robe and returned to the office. He watched another Baoyangzi walk out of Master Baoyangzi next to the bookcase and come to "himself", and watch the unsurprising debate between the old wizard and Professor Yao.
The confusion hovering in Zheng Qing's mind became heavier and heavier.
Until the milky white halo rose from the pocket watch, the time line developed to Master Baoyangzi using the time converter and brought Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu back three and a half hours ago, the three figures standing in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Zheng Qing stared at Lao Yao behind the desk without blinking.
As always, the professor waved his hand at himself with a smile, but this time, the number formed by the blue smoke ball above his head was not '0' or '1', but a vague overlapping shadow, which seemed to be '0', but when he looked closely, it was '1'.
Bang!
In front of the mahogany bookcase, Huo Yoko snapped her fingers crisply, lifting the invisibility spell on the two young wizards who returned from time travel.
The moment Zheng Qing's figure reappeared in the office, he noticed that the number formed by the smoke above Lao Yao's head faded away the last blur and turned into a very clear '1'.
The legendary wizard is very sensitive to sight from any direction, especially the young public-funded student's sight is so rude that he keeps staring at him.
But the professor didn't seem angry.
"It's great to notice this detail."
Lao Yao raised the pipe in Zheng Qing, and his tone was filled with appreciation: "The timeline is unique in reality, just like the 'observer effect' I told you about in philosophy class. When you are in a third-party perspective, the timeline diverges, and you can see the scene of different timelines intersecting at the same time; when you leave the third-party perspective, the timeline converges, and you can only see the facts that are happening now... Just like now, you are back to the normal timeline."
With this explanation, the number ‘1’ formed by the smoke above the legendary wizard’s head shattered and turned into a ball of smoke of uncertain shape again.
"professor."
The boy couldn't help but speak, trying to say the confusion in his mind, but the problem came to his mouth, but he suddenly didn't know how to describe it.
Baoyangzi, who was standing next to him, seemed to guess what he was thinking, and answered directly: "That's why, when you use the time converter, try not to have anyone else present."
He pointed to the dean of Jiuyou Academy behind his desk, and emphasized his tone slightly: "Professor Yao is a legendary wizard. He naturally has a vision higher than the time dimension and has magic skills that you can't imagine... Not every wizard can flexibly switch his righteous body and projection like him, and perfectly replicate everything He has experienced."
"The situation is not as serious as Master Bao Yoko said."
Behind the desk, Lao Yao bit his pipe and comforted the two nervous young wizards: "What we just showed you is the standard process set by the alliance, which is based on the premise that every step will not have any impact on the 'history' that has happened... The reason why it is so strict is to prevent the problem from getting worse and avoid any accidents you create when you travel in time and interfere with the already closed timeline.
The space-time system has its own context, but it also has "variables".
Under the conditions of "balance" that have been closed, any slight change in the system may cause a long-term and huge chain reaction due to the blessing of "variables"... Of course, I said so much, and I am not trying to repeat the warnings from Master Yangzi to you.
In fact, in reality, the timeline after closing is very strong, and ordinary wizards' small movements will not really cause any butterfly effect. Just like a cell does not produce thinking, the cells can only think if they aggregate into the brain; a drop of water cannot form a disaster, and a drop of water can surging tides if it gathers into the sea... all of them are the same."
Ahem!
The old wizard from the relevant department coughed twice, interrupting the dean of Jiuyou Academy, with a hint of annoyance in his tone: "Are you encouraging them to make trouble?"
"Absolutely no such intention!"
Lao Yao smiled and denied it, but what he said was not happy at all: "I just wanted to tell them that if you encounter unexpected threats during the time travel process, don't stand stupidly and stay motionless. Run away when you should, and beat him to death if you should... Life is much more important than those ghost timelines!"
Bao Yangzi frowned, as if he wanted to argue, but after slid over the two young wizards, he finally shook his head without reacting.
His failure to respond does not mean that Zheng Qing did not.
"Danger?"
The boy pinched the quill in his hand with some anxiety, laughed dryly, and asked tentatively: "Apart from the causal curse caused by the timeline changes... are there any other risks in time conversion?"
Lao Yao did not answer immediately, but instead sniffed, stretched out his arm again, reached into the void, and pulled out a gray dog from somewhere.
Meow?
The dog, who was caught in the flower-skinned face, looked at the old wizard in front of him with a nervous look on his face, and cried out in a meowing voice, and his body shrank into a ball.
"Emodou?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You know?"
The dean of Jiuyou Academy blinked his little black eyes, his fingers huddled in his sleeves quickly calculated a few times, and suddenly said, "Oh, it turns out to be your dog... No wonder... do you know what kind of bloodline it is?"
"It seems to be called Tindaross Hound." Zheng Qing replied carefully.
"Do you know the habits of the Tinda Rose Hound?"
After the professor asked back, he answered without waiting for the boy to speak: "Tindaross Hounds live in the gaps between time and space. They like to bite and hunt those time and space travelers the most, and they are so difficult... I just thought you accidentally provoked them during the previous journey. In short, when you enter the 'time knot', you are the only ones you can rely on, as well as the Dharma books in your hands. You must learn to be vigilant at all times."
"Where did this dog come from? Have you obtained a certificate?"
Master Baoyangzi's brows were twisted again: "The Tindaross Hound is a dangerous magic creature explicitly stipulated by the Alliance. The school should not allow students to raise this creature privately..."
"Don't worry, I will talk to Mr. Ruoyu about this. And this is a mixed-race, not that dangerous." Lao Yao tried to do it perfunctorily, and when his hand was loose, the gray dog turned into a shadow at the foot of the table, disappearing without a trace.
Zheng Qing suspected that the scared dog had never noticed its owner from beginning to end.
