It is very interesting to witness every move of 'oneself' as a third party outside the field, especially everything that one has experienced.
Strange yet familiar, this is the only description Zheng Qing can think of.
He watched Jiang Yu change into a bright red robe and return to the office in the blink of an eye, watched another Baoyangzi walk out from the master Baoyangzi next to the bookcase and came to "him", watched the old wizard and
The unsuspicious debate between Professor Yao.
The confusion swirling in Zheng Qing's mind became increasingly thick.
Until the milky white halo rose from the pocket watch, and the timeline developed to Master Baoyangzi using the time converter to bring 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 smiled and waved to himself, but this time, the number formed by the blue smoke ball above his head was not '0', nor '1', but a blur of overlapping shadows, which seemed to be '0', but
When I looked closely, it was '1' again.
Snapped!
In front of the mahogany bookcase, Bao Yangzi snapped his fingers and lifted the invisibility spell on the two young wizards who had returned from time travel.
The moment Zheng Qing reappeared in the office, he noticed that the number formed by the smoke above Lao Yao's head had lost its last trace of blur and turned into a very clear '1'.
The legendary wizard was very sensitive to sights coming from any direction, especially the sight of the young public-sponsored student who was so rude and kept staring at him.
But the professor didn't seem angry.
“It’s great to notice such details.”
Lao Yao raised the pipe in his hand to Zheng Qing, with a hint of appreciation in his tone: "The timeline is unique in reality, just like the 'observer effect' I taught you in philosophy class. When you are in a third-party perspective,
, the timeline diverges, and you can see the intersection of different timelines 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 return to the normal timeline.
.”
Along with this explanation, the number '1' formed by the cloud of smoke above the legendary wizard's head suddenly shattered and turned into an irregular shape of smoke again.
"professor."
The boy couldn't help but speak, wanting to express all the confusion in his mind, but when the question came to his lips, he suddenly didn't know how to describe it.
But Yoko Bao who was standing next to him seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and answered directly: "That's why, when you use the time turner, try not to have other people around."
He pointed at the dean of Jiuyou Academy behind the desk and said with a slightly stronger tone: "Professor Yao is a legendary wizard. He naturally has vision beyond the time dimension and possesses magic that you can't imagine.
Skills... Not every wizard can flexibly switch between his own prosthetic body and projection like him, and perfectly reproduce everything he has experienced."
"The situation is not as serious as Master Baoyangzi said."
Behind the desk, Old Yao chewed his pipe and comforted the two nervous young wizards: "What we just showed you is the standard process established by the alliance, so that every step will not cause any damage to the 'history' that has already happened.
The premise is the impact... The reason why it is so strict is to prevent the slightest glitches, to avoid any accidents when you are traveling in time, and to avoid causing interference to the already concluded timeline.
The space-time system has its context, but it also has ‘variables’.
Under the "balanced" conditions that have been settled, any small changes in the system may cause long-term and huge chain reactions due to the blessing of "variables"... Of course, I say this, not to repeat the wish.
Master Zi’s warning to you.
In fact, in reality, the timeline after the conclusion is very solid, and ordinary wizards’ small actions will not really cause any butterfly effect. Just like a cell cannot produce thinking, only when cells aggregate into a brain can they think; a drop of water cannot
It can cause a disaster, and a drop of water can form a sea and create a tidal wave...it's all the same."
Ahem!
The old wizard from the relevant department coughed twice, interrupted the dean of Jiuyou College, and said with a hint of annoyance in his tone: "Are you encouraging them to cause trouble?"
"Absolutely not that!"
Lao Yao smiled and denied it, but what he said did not make people happy at all: "I just want to tell them that if they encounter an unexpected threat during time travel, they should not stand still and run.
Just run away, if you deserve to be killed, you will be killed... Human life is much more important than those damn timelines!"
Baoyangzi frowned and seemed to want to argue, but after his eyes passed over the two young wizards, he finally shook his head and did not make any reaction.
Just because he didn't respond doesn't mean Zheng Qing didn't.
"Danger?"
The boy pinched the quill in his hand uneasily, laughed dryly, and asked tentatively: "Apart from the causal curse caused by the change of the timeline...are there any other risks in time transformation?"
Lao Yao did not answer immediately, but sniffed, stretched out his arm again, reached into the void, and pulled out a gray dog from nowhere.
Meow?
The dog who was caught with the furry hair looked nervously at the old wizard in front of him, meowed angrily, and huddled up.
"Maodou?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"you know?"
The dean of Jiuyou College blinked his small dark eyes, quickly counted with his fingers in his sleeves, and suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out to be your dog... No wonder... you know what it is.
Bloodline?"
"It seems to be called the Hound of Tindalos." Zheng Qing replied cautiously.
"Do you know the habits of the hounds of Tindalos?"
After the professor asked the question, he answered by himself without waiting for the boy to speak: "The Tindalos hound lives in the gap between time and space. It likes to bite and hunt time travelers, and it is very difficult to deal with... I just thought you were there before.
I accidentally provoked them during that journey. All in all, when you enter the 'Knot of Time', the only people you can rely on are yourself and the Dharma books in your hands. You must learn to be vigilant at all times."
"Where did this dog come from? Has it been certified?"
Master Baoyangzi's brows knitted together again: "The Tindalos hound is a dangerous magical creature expressly stipulated by the alliance. The school should not allow students to raise such creatures privately..."
"Don't worry, I will talk to Mr. Ruoyu about this matter. And this is a mixed-breed dog, so it's not that dangerous." Old Yao said perfunctorily, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the gray dog melted on the foot of the table before it even hit the ground.
Become a shadow and disappear without a trace.
Zheng Qing suspected that the frightened dog never noticed that its owner was also present.
