Nepal, Kamar-Taj, Ancient One's Courtyard. In the afterglow of the setting sun, a figure leaned against a tree, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. Russell was catching up on sleep at this time. He hadn't gotten up early for a long time. Thinking about the appointment with Ancient One last night, Russell got up early. But, he was careless. There is a time difference between Nepal and New York! The former is in East District 5, and the latter is in West District 5. Nepal's time is about ten hours ahead of New York. Whoosh!
In a daze, Russell heard something thrown at him. He could hide, but didn't want to move. It wouldn't hurt if it hit him anyway. Snap. A green gem with restrained light hit Russell's forehead and then fell into his arms. Russell stretched and slowly woke up. The moon was already in the sky. Ancient One slowly walked out of the room: "Didn't I ask you to come tomorrow?" Mage, time difference. " Ancient One remained silent. After a while, he spoke: "Russell, what do you think time is?" Ancient One's question should not be about the definition or concept of time. Russell concentrated his mind and carefully sensed the passage of time. The gem in his arms emitted green light. Russell's sense of time became more sensitive. Speed, the speed of time passing. The speed of time passing for different objects is different. Russell looked at Ancient One in confusion. Ancient One: "Want to know?"
Russell: "Yeah." Ancient One pointed to the green gem in Russell's arms: "Yes, the Time Gem. Go find the answer yourself." "Is this the Time Gem?" Russell picked up the gem in his arms and was incredulous. "Yeah, I just imitated it." Ancient One said calmly. Huh, Russell breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the gem was everywhere, but it turned out to be a fake. Ancient One added: "Its function is similar to the Time Gem, but the effect may be a little worse. And it does not have the characteristics of infinite energy. To activate it, you have to consume your own energy. " Russell looked at the time gem in his hand, his face was tangled. Need to consume energy? I wonder if the invisible energy representing [physique] and the spiritual energy representing [spirit] will work. If it's krypton life, forget it, I have to save it to improve attribute points. One-time and permanent. Russell still thinks that permanent is more important. Try spiritual energy first. Spiritual power poured into the time gem. Instantly, the scene in the yard came into his mind, and then passed quickly. In the picture, Russell and Gu Yi sat for a long time, and finally Russell said goodbye and left. Is this, predicting the future? Russell opened his eyes and looked at the time gem in his hand in surprise. [Perception] The ability to predict the future has been amplified nearly a hundred times. Suddenly, Gu Yi stood up and said: "Russell, what do you want to drink? Coffee or tea?" As he said, Gu Yi blinked at Russell. There is no such picture in the future. Russell suddenly realized: "Master, I understand. You want to tell me that the future is just a deduction, a possibility. The important thing is, what kind of future do I want to choose? "
Gu Yi nodded meaningfully. I just want to tell you that the future is uncertain. The second half of the sentence, choosing the future or something, is something you figure out by yourself. If you get into trouble in the future, it's none of my business. "Russell, have fun by yourself. If you don't understand something, come and ask me tomorrow." As he said that, Gu Yi took out a hammock and tied it to two trees in the yard. "I've been busy for most of the day, it's time to go to sleep. " Russell shook his head and laughed. The Ancient One was chasing him away. He took a step forward, the light circle flickered, and Russell arrived at an uninhabited desert island. Coincidentally, a red sun rose above the sea level. The sun rose. It's not that Russell and the Ancient One have no concept of time. The time zone division is applicable to ordinary people and is not very friendly to mages. On the desert island, Russell continued to familiarize himself with the use of the Time Stone. Huh? Gwen and George. With a stroke of his hand, an image moved in front of him and began to play. In the picture, George took Gwen to explain to the teacher why he didn't come to school in the past half month. This video happened a few hours ago and was recorded by the Time Stone. Half a month? Shouldn't it be more than 20 days? Russell pondered, and then suddenly realized. It's the speed of time passing. The speed of time passing in the two universes fluctuates within a certain range. Therefore, there is an error. What does the speed of time passing have to do with? What about the gate? Speed? Mass? Energy? What about the microscopic field?
It's too complicated to understand. It seems that I am still suitable to be a One Punch Man. Sigh. Russell began to deduce the future of Gwen and George. Help you clear the minefield. Lest I leave this universe and come back. An irreversible tragedy happened. Although it can be reversed with gems, gems only reverse time, not events. Events happened, and they happened. Life experiences events, not time. Russell seemed to understand something. When Russell began to deduce, he found that it was much more difficult than expected. Whenever there was a choice, several branches of different thicknesses would appear. The degree of thickness represents the possibility of occurrence. Almost every short period of time, a choice would appear. Feeling the rapid consumption of mental power, Russell stopped the deduction. This deduction method is wrong. A person will face countless choices, but many choices are insignificant. Only a few times are important choices. Russell tried to deduce again. This time he ignored the small branches and grasped the key points. Finally, he saw it. A big thunder in Gwen and George's life! The incident happened one night a few months later. Ghost Spider was injured and surrounded by several police cars. And George, protected Ghost Spider and tried to argue with his colleagues. Finally, the police were persuaded to open the encirclement and let Ghost Spider leave.
Afterwards, George was held accountable and dismissed. Just as Russell held back his anger and continued to look down. The picture collapsed and dissipated. "How could this happen?" Russell couldn't help exclaiming. "Gwen just chose a small probability branch, and reality covered the deduction." Is this way of deduction also wrong? Deduction itself is wrong! Russell had a flash of inspiration. What matters is not how many possibilities there are in the future, but what kind of future to choose! Feeling that his mental power was about to run out, Russell stopped studying the gem. Take a break and wait until his mental power recovers. Then, go directly to the door. Although there is no figure behind the scenes in the deduced picture just now. But Russell has a general understanding of the plot. In the original plot, George pointed a gun at Gwen. There are several versions of the mastermind behind the scenes, one is George himself, one is Kingpin, and one is Mark Murdoch. Now the plot has collapsed, excluding George. It is either Kingpin or Mark Murdoch. If they are good people, Russell still has the psychological burden of judging them for future crimes. But in Earth-65, these two are not good people. Well, for safety reasons, investigate again. So as not to kill good people by mistake. By the way, there is also a criminal organization called Spider Silk, which is solved together. Russell silently sentenced the above people to death in his heart.
